Chapter 499 Years

In a large group, sometimes a small screw goes wrong, and the consequences caused by it may be impossible to ignore!

"Oh~" Lan Shu sighed.

It seems that after this year is over, she may have to deal with the problems brought about by her adoptive mother.

But no matter what, the family should be happy when they get together during the Chinese New Year.

So she lived this year well first.

...

New Year's Eve this day.

In the morning, Lan Dazhuang's home on Chang'an Avenue.

Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, and Lan Shu brothers and sisters gathered together.

Lan Shu couldn't even remember the last time the four of them celebrated the New Year together. When was it?

Fortunately, so many years have passed, even though the four of them have already married, the relationship between brother and sister remains unchanged.

This year's New Year's Eve, Lan Shu originally proposed to spend it at her house, after all, her house is a little bigger.

But Lan Dazhuang said that he is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and he must be at his house during the Chinese New Year.

He is not afraid of being busy, as long as his brothers and sister are happy.

As for their father who is also in the capital—Lan Shengli, because the old man Lan cannot do without people, Lan Shengli was not present today.

Lan Dazhuang planned to have their siblings get together first, and then go back to the old house to see their father and grandfather in the second year of junior high.

In Lan Dazhuang's family, apart from the four brothers and sisters, Tang Chu, Tian Na, and Yu Xia, the three daughters-in-law of the Lan family, although they don't see each other often, they have a good relationship when they get together.

The three of them were in a particularly good mood today, taking care of everything in the kitchen.

Xiaobai and the three uncles hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they sat together and chatted.

Lan Shu had nothing to do, so she moved a stool and sat down, watching her daughter and three younger brothers playing in the snow in the yard.

Every year around this time, it snows in Kyoto, and this year is no exception.

It was the first time for the four children to get together so well. Even if the cousins ​​didn't meet each other, now they met, they played together very quickly.

At noon, the four brothers and sisters sat at a table and ate happily.

No one left in the afternoon, and Lan Xiuming took the initiative to mention the matter that his mother's relatives had found.

It was also at this time that Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo found out that they had other relatives in their family!
It's just that the second brother/brother said that the relatives on their mother's side even asked the younger sister to arrange work for their children?
When Lan Dazhuang found out about this, he took care of it all at once!
"Little sister, leave it to me to arrange work. Although my free-range chicken farm and orchard are already full of workers, it's no problem to put someone in the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory and juice factory."

Lan Shu listened to her elder brother's words, and she knew that his elder brother was sharing her worries and not making things difficult for her.

But the eldest brother is willing to arrange a job for someone, but the other party may not want to work in a remote village.

However, Lan Shu finally nodded in agreement with the elder brother's proposal.

It just happened to be able to try to see what the relatives of the adoptive mother's family were like.

In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to Gu's house with their daughter and son.

At home, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo have prepared sumptuous meals.

As for brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Lan Sibo, they still ate and drank at Lan Dazhuang's house with their wives and children.

The three brothers were happy all day long.

...

The next day, New Year's Day.

Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to Wei's house with their in-laws to celebrate the new year as usual.

Mr. Wei is almost 80 years old now. When he was young, he served as a soldier and fought in wars, and he looks very healthy.

But after getting old, the problems on my body gradually emerged——

Especially in the past two years, the old man suffered from severe waist and leg pain.

In the windy and rainy weather, the pain was so painful that I could hardly get up in bed.

In the past few days of Chinese New Year, it has snowed in Kyoto, the air outside is humid, and the cold wind seems to be blowing into the bones!

So the old man lay down again—

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family had dinner, but he couldn't serve it. He set up a small table on the bed by himself, and all meals were settled on the bed.

When Xiaobai saw his grandfather's physical condition, even though he was an expert in medicine, he couldn't quickly relieve his ailments.

Grandpa is getting old, taking medicine for this disease can only alleviate the symptoms, and there is almost no possibility of cure.

Xiaobai suddenly discovered that the bodies of grandpa and grandma are really old...

He thought of his grandmother's death a few years ago.

Time is not forgiving, he knew that grandpa and grandma would have such a day.

It's just that he hoped that day would come later.

...

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Shu made an appointment with her three brothers to go to Lan's old house in Kyoto today to spend the New Year with her adoptive father.

This time when I went to the old house, there were only her and Xiaobai.

The daughter and son followed their grandparents back to Gu's house last night and said they would stay for a few days.

In the old house of the Lan family, the original three dilapidated tile-roofed houses had been repaired by the mason Lan Shu hired before.

The inner walls of the house were repainted with putty, the ground was paved with cement, new beams were replaced on the roof, and the tiles were basically replaced.

Although the old house looks the same at first glance, it has been renovated inside.

In fact, according to Lan Shu's thinking, there is really no need to keep this dilapidated house, it is best to tear it down and rebuild it.

But Old Man Lan loves his home and misses the past, and his dementia is serious. If he really builds a new house, he may feel that this is not his home at all.

That's why after Lan Shu communicated with her adoptive father, she just asked people to renovate the house.

At this time, the four brothers and sisters of Lan Shu and their family members were sitting around the square table in the main hall of the old house.

Because of the large number of people and small tables, everyone sat really crowded.

But it's good enough to eat.

The two brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Xiaobai went to the kitchen to cook the lunch.

Because of the large number of people, the table was too small to fit a few plates, so the three of them didn't cook too many dishes, but the portions of each dish were very large, and there were four full iron basins on the table!
My family sits together to eat, no matter what the food looks good or not, for today's lunch at noon, the main one is enough to eat~!

After the meal, Tang Chu and Tian Na took the children back to rest, and when they left, they called Yu Xia together, so that the three of them could get together and talk for a while.

The four Lanshu brothers and sisters and Xiaobai stayed in the old house, chatting with Lan Shengli.

Lan Shengli is over 60 years old this year, and his hair turned white faster than when he opened the fried chicken shop. Now he has few black hairs.

And the body of his father, the old man Lan, is getting worse day by day. Decades of wandering life have exhausted his body.

Even though his son took good care of him all these years, he still couldn't bear the years.

Three years ago, the old blue man suffered a hemiplegia from a stroke. Even though he has recovered well after treatment, he has basically lost his ability to move in one arm and one leg.

That's why Lan Shengli, the son's caregiver, is getting harder and harder.

At this time, Lan Xiuming and Lan Shengli talked about the reason why he didn't come to Kyoto this year.

Lan Shengli didn't see his wife when he was eating at noon, so he knew something must be wrong.

Knowing that his wife had returned to her natal family for the funeral, Lan Shengli nodded, with a very calm expression on his face.

Lan Shengli has been used to this kind of life for not seeing or hearing from his wife for many years.

So it doesn't matter to him whether his wife comes or not.
