Chapter 581: Going Home for the New Year, the Little One Meets Relatives!

The Spring Festival in 2024 is on February 10.

On the morning of February 5, at the VIP apron of Mo Du International Airport, Lin Mo's family was boarding.

This time they are flying home on a private jet.

Mainly because Lin Mo is afraid of trouble.

He doesn't want to be recognized by movie fans later.

It used to be fine; being recognized didn't matter.

But now it's different; if his own daughter were accidentally bumped, he'd be heartbroken.

To avoid that, of course he will take his own private jet.

"Is Nuan Nuan going to have trouble on her first flight?" Re Ba worriedly adjusted her daughter's little cotton coat; Nuan Nuan was wearing a red Tang‑style outfit today, looking like a lucky doll.

Lin Mo cradled his daughter and swayed, "Don't worry, I've had the crew set the cabin pressure," he said, pointing at the side window, "Nuan Nuan, look, a big plane!"

Nuan Nuan opened her big round eyes, her little hand patting the window: "Fly…fly!"

As the engines roared, the plane slowly rolled toward the runway.

Lin Mo held Nuan Nuan in his arms and whispered, "Sweetheart, Daddy's taking you to see Grandpa and Grandma~"

Re Ba leaned against his shoulder, watching the city outline shrink outside the window.

After the plane leveled, Nuan Nuan curiously crawled around the cabin.

Lin Mo simply placed her in a specially prepared child safety seat and buckled the harness.

The flight from Mo Du to Sichuan took just over two hours.

When the plane landed, Lin Mo's parents had already been waiting on the apron for a long time.

His mother, upon seeing Nuan Nuan, was overjoyed: "Oh my dear granddaughter, let Grandma hold you!"

Nuan Nuan wasn't shy; she opened her little hand and lunged forward.

Lin Mo's father patted his son's shoulder.

The family got into the car cheerfully, the vehicle slowly drove out of the airport, Lin Mo's father sat in the passenger seat, occasionally chatting with his son.

"The city has changed a lot in the past two years," Lin Mo's father said, pointing at the newly built commercial district outside the window, "Look over there, the Wanda Plaza that just opened last year is now the liveliest spot around here."

Nuan Nuan perched on Grandma's lap, curiously watching the passing scenery outside, her little hand pointing at a distant Ferris wheel.

"Nuan Nuan wants to ride the Ferris wheel too, right?" Re Ba said, smiling as she held her daughter's little hand.

Lin Mo's mother, while teasing her granddaughter, asked, "Xiao Di, are you guys usually busy in Mo Du? Nuan Nuan is so little, it must be hard to take care of her, right?"

"It's fine, Wang Yi helps," Re Ba said gently smoothing her daughter's collar.

"By the way, son," Lin Mo's father interjected, "our neighborhood is now playing trailers of your animated film everywhere!"

"Exactly!" his mother added energetically, "The big screen at the plaza loops it daily; those little kids watch it without blinking, like at a bus stop, and the malls everywhere have ads for your movie!"

Lin Mo just smiled silently after hearing that.

No need to think about it; this is definitely arranged by the government.

Just kidding.

This fourth‑tier small city has produced an internationally renowned director; what an honor.

Like when Lin Mo's film, such as "Batman: The Dark Knight," was released, the whole city was flooded with promotions.

"By the way," Lin Mo's father suddenly recalled, "How many days can you stay home this year? When will you return to Mo Du?"

Lin Mo glanced at Re Ba: "Let's stay a few more days this year, leave on the eighth day of the New Year. 'Robots' premieres on the first day of the New Year, and we'll all go watch it together!"

"That's great!" the old man clapped his thigh joyfully, "It lines up perfectly with your cousin's wedding on the sixth day of the New Year; you both can take Nuan Nuan along, that'll bring honor to your aunt's family!"

Nuan Nuan suddenly mimicked Grandpa, patting the seat with her little hand, making everyone in the car laugh.

Back home.

Unsurprisingly, all the relatives showed up at the house.

Xiao Jiahuo, seeing so many people, wasn't shy at all and was very happy.

"Brother, sister‑in‑law!"

Song Wanwan, on winter break, went straight back to her hometown.

The girl was tying an apron, helping in the kitchen.

A few younger brothers and sisters at home were also shouting happily.

As for his mother,

she was taking Xiao Jiahuo around to meet each relative.

Actually, his family is quite large, and they see each other often, with very close ties.

So this New Year is full of festive atmosphere.

On the other side.

News that Lin Mo was taking Re Ba and Nuan Nuan home for the New Year spread online quickly.

As for how netizens discovered it,

one has to say how powerful these netizens are.

Yesterday Re Ba posted a set of photos of Xiao Jiahuo, didn't she?

Result:

They saw Re Ba's IP listed as Sichuan.

So the comment section filled with various discussions.

"Whoa, brothers, I found a hotspot!"

"Re Ba's IP is in Sichuan!"

"IP Sichuan! Director Lin took his wife and kids home for the New Year!"

For the New Year, of course we still have to go back to the hometown!

Holy crap, I'm telling you, I live in the same community as Director Lin's family...

Envious of the guys upstairs!

In the past few days, I guess you'll be able to come across videos of Director Lin in the same city!

#Lin Mo takes Re Ba back to hometown for New Year#

#Robots February 6 global release#

#Stars Return Home for New Year#

Every year, when the New Year period arrives.

Various videos of stars going home to celebrate the New Year will surface.

After all, going back to the hometown for New Year is quite normal; whose hometown isn't still rural?

Once in the village, these stars also remove their makeup, wear padded jackets, meet up, light a cigarette, play mahjong, etc.

Anyway, it's especially down-to-earth.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

At Lin Mo's house, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

I suppose everyone has guessed it.

Exactly, they're a bunch of reporters.

All the major TV stations in Chuan Province are there.

After Xiao Jiahuo woke up, seeing so many people, she lay in her mother's arms, tilting her head back, curiously staring.

"Nuan Nuan, greet the uncles and aunts." Re Ba held Nuan Nuan and swayed.

Nuan Nuan blinked her big eyes, reached out to grab, giggling.

These reporters were also melted by Nuan Nuan in an instant; a female reporter from Rong Cheng Television also took out a panda plush from her bag and handed it to her: "Nuan Nuan is so well-behaved, this is a gift for you!"

Nuan Nuan took the plush, happily rubbed it, then turned and ran toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo scooped up his daughter, let her sit on his leg, smiling at the reporters: "She's recently been fond of plush toys, thank you."

It's an interview by the hometown TV station.

It's unavoidable.

However, Lin Mo only gave them ten or so minutes.

For them, ten or so minutes is more than enough.

You should know.

This is Lin Mo, Director Lin!!!

Usually they can't even see his face; how could they get a chance to interview him in person?

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the interview officially began.

"Director Lin, how do you feel about bringing Nuan Nuan back to the hometown for New Year this time?"

Lin Mo lowered his head to look at the daughter in his arms, eyes gentle: "It's great; Nuan Nuan is seeing so many relatives for the first time and isn't shy at all."

"Director Lin, I heard the inspiration for your new film Robots came from Nuan Nuan?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, actually I first wanted to tell her a bedtime story, then thought it could be made into a film."

The interview topics mostly revolve around the child and the film.

For example, how he felt when he first became a father.

And expectations for the box office of the film Robots.

Ten or so minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, these reporters all left satisfied.

The front-page headline is secured!
