Chapter 415

The Resort Won't Run Away

Lin Xi and Chen Chen had just entered the house with everyone not long ago.

Chen Jianwen and his wife Liu Xiuying returned from outside.

"Everyone was so enthusiastic today!"

Liu Xiuying sighed as soon as she entered the room.

Fourth Aunt immediately chimed in:

"Of course! If it weren't for Xiaoxi and Xiaochen, our Chenjia Village wouldn't be where it is today!"

Fourth Uncle Chen Jianguo listened from the side.

I subconsciously reached for my cigarette case, wanting to light up a cigarette.

But he was glared at fiercely by his own wife.

He reluctantly tucked the cigarette back behind his ear.

Chen Jianwen then spoke up:
"By the way, it seems that Guojia Village is also interested in cooperating with us to develop this area into a resort. The village chief is still considering it."

While they say they're considering it, the main issue is actually the lack of funding.

However, he wouldn't mention this to Xiaoxi.

To avoid making her overthink it.

Guojia Village wants a piece of the pie from the resort.

You have to rely on your own abilities.

Lin Xi and Chen Chen exchanged a glance.

They both saw the thought in each other's eyes.

Chen Chen frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Guojia Village? Their village's geographical location and resources can complement our village."

Collaborative development is a good thing, as it can create economies of scale.

However, funding is a major expense; the resort requires a significant initial investment, and ongoing operational management also necessitates continuous financial support.

Seeing that his son had pointed it out directly, Chen Jianwen replied:
"Hey, that's right. That's why the village chief hasn't agreed yet; he plans to wait until things become clearer before making a decision."

Now that the resort in Chenjia Village has been built.

Those from other villages who want to join will have to consider the potential benefits before making a decision.

What if we lose money?

"Alright, alright," Grandma Chen said, pulling Lin Muxi to sit down.

"Xiao Chen and Xiao Xi just got home, and they haven't even had a chance to sit down yet."

The resort issue isn't urgent; there's plenty of time to discuss it later. For now, let them have some water and rest.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiuying also remembered and echoed:
"Mom is right, we didn't think it through. Quick, Xiaoxi, Xiaochen, have some water. You must be exhausted from the journey."

As she spoke, she handed the two of them freshly poured warm water.

Lin Muxi took the water glass and smiled at Grandma Chen and Liu Xiuying:

"Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, Auntie. We're not tired, we just miss you a little."

Chen Chen nodded in agreement, his gaze sweeping over the familiar furnishings in the room, a warm feeling welling up inside him:
"Yes, home is the most comfortable place."

Although the village has been renovated.

However, most of the houses remained as they were and were not renovated.

This adds a touch of warmth to the resort.

At this moment, Fourth Uncle Chen Jianguo also took the cigarette off his ear, put it back in the cigarette pack, and smiled憨厚ly:
"It's good that you're back. Let's eat first. Honey, isn't the food all ready?"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt hurriedly said, "The food is all at Aunt's house. Let's go eat there."

Before they could even put their luggage down, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi were led by Grandma Chen to their aunt's house next door.

The two brothers, Chen Ziyan and Chen Ziquan, had been eagerly waiting at the door for some time.

As soon as Chen Ziyan saw Lin Muxi, he took off running towards her.
"Auntie Xiaoxi!"

Looking at the little boy in front of me who had already grown up to my waist.

Lin Muxi was slightly taken aback, then a gentle smile spread across her face:
"You are... Ziyan. It's been half a year since I last saw you. You've grown taller."

Chen Ziyan looked up at her.

In a childish yet earnest voice, he asked:

"So, have I become more handsome?"

He still has that precocious, childlike demeanor!
Lin Muxi was amused by him.

She reached out and affectionately ruffled his soft hair.

"Of course! Our Ziyan has not only grown taller, but he's also become more and more handsome. He's practically the most handsome boy in Chenjia Village!" (End of Chapter)
