Chapter 499 Year

In a large group, sometimes if a small screw goes wrong, the consequences may be impossible to ignore!

"Alas~" Lan Shu sighed.

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

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

So she had to spend this new year well first.

…

New Year's Eve.

Morning, Chang'an Street, Lan Dazhuang's home.

Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, and Lan Shu's brother and sister gathered together.

Lan Shu couldn't even remember the last time the four siblings celebrated New Year together.

Fortunately, after so many years, even though the four of them have 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 was a little bigger.

But Lan Dazhuang said that he is the eldest brother, like a father, and he will definitely be at his home during the New Year.

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

As for their father, Lan Shengli, who is also in Kyoto, Lan Shengli couldn't be there today because old man Lan couldn't live without people.

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

In Lan Dazhuang's family, in addition to the four brothers and sisters, there are also three daughters-in-law of the Lan family, Tang Chu, Tian Na, and Yu Xia. Although the sisters-in-law don't see each other much, they still have a harmonious relationship when they get together.

The three of them were in a particularly good mood today and took over everything in the kitchen.

Xiaobai and his three uncles and buddies had not seen each other for a long time, so they sat together and started chatting.

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

It snows in Kyoto every year at this time, and this year is no exception.

This was the first time for the four children to get together like this. Even if the cousins ​​didn't meet each other before, now that they met, they quickly started playing together.

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

No one left in the afternoon, so Lan Xiuming took the initiative to bring up the matter of relatives coming to his mother's house.

It was also at this time that Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo learned that there were other relatives in their family!

But I heard from the second brother/second brother that their relatives on their mother’s side actually asked their younger sister to arrange jobs for their children?

When Lan Dazhuang learned about this, he took care of it in one fell swoop!

"Little sister, leave it to me to arrange work. Although my free-range chicken farm and orchard are fully occupied with workers, there is no problem if we add more people to the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory and juice factory."

Lan Shu listened to her elder brother's words, and she knew that he was sharing her worries and not letting her be embarrassed.

But the eldest brother is willing to arrange jobs for people, but the other people may not want to go to a remote village to do a job.

However, Lan Shu finally nodded in agreement to her elder brother's proposal.

It just so happens that I can try to see what kind of nature the relatives in my adoptive mother's family are like.

In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiaobai took their daughter and son back to Gu's house.

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

As for the brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Lan Sibo, they and their wives and children were still eating and drinking at Lan Dazhuang's house.

The three brothers were happy all day long.

…

The next day, the first day of the new year.

As in previous years, Lan Shu and Xiaobai went to Wei's house with their parents-in-law to celebrate the New Year.

Mr. Wei is now almost eighty years old. He served as a soldier and fought in wars when he was young, and his health looks very good.

But as I get older, my problems gradually start to show up——

Especially in the past two years, the old man's back and leg pain has become quite serious.

The weather was windy and rainy, and the pain was so painful that I could hardly get up from my bed.

During the past few days during the Chinese New Year, it snowed in Kyoto, the air outside was humid, and the cold wind felt like it was blowing into the bones!

So the old man lay down again——

On New Year's Day, when the family had dinner, he couldn't even serve it to the table. He put a small table on the bed and ate in bed.

Xiaobai saw his grandfather's physical condition. Even though he was a medical expert, he could not quickly relieve his grandfather's pain.

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

Xiaobai suddenly discovered that grandpa and grandma were really old...

He thought about his grandma's death a few years ago.

Time is not forgiving, and he knew that his grandfather and grandmother would also have such a day.

However, 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 the Lan family's old house in Kyoto to spend the New Year with her adoptive father.

This time we went to the old house, she and Xiaobai were the only two people.

My daughter and son followed their grandparents back to Gu's house last night, saying they were going to stay for a few days.

In the Lan family's old house, the original three shabby tile-roofed houses had been repaired by the masons hired by Lan Shu.

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

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

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

But Old Man Lan loves his home and misses the past. In addition, he has severe Alzheimer's disease. If he really builds a new house, he may feel that this is not his home at all.

So after Lan Shu communicated with her adoptive father, she just asked someone to renovate the house.

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

Because there were so many people and the tables were small, it was really crowded.

But it's okay to eat.

Lunch was made by brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Xiaobai in the kitchen.

Because there were so many people, the table was too small to hold a few plates, so the three of them didn’t cook much, but the portions of each dish were large, and four iron basins were placed on the table!

When my family sits together to eat, it doesn’t matter whether the food looks good or not. At today’s lunch, it’s enough to focus on one person being full~!

After dinner, Tang Chu and Tian Na took the children back to rest. When they left, they called Yu Xia with them, so that the three sisters could talk together for a while when they went back.

The four brothers Lan Shu and Xiao Bai stayed in the old house, chatting with Lan Shengli.

Lan Shengli is over 60 years old this year, and his hair has turned gray faster than when he opened a fried chicken restaurant. Now he has few black hairs left.

And the health of his father, Old Man Lan, was getting worse day by day. Decades of wandering had exhausted his physical strength.

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

Three years ago, Mr. Lan suffered a stroke and suffered hemiplegia. Even though he recovered well after treatment, he still has one arm and one leg that have basically lost the ability to move.

Therefore, it became increasingly difficult for Lan Shengli, his son, to take care of him.

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

Lan Shengli didn't see his wife during lunch, so he knew something must be wrong.

Knowing that his wife had returned to her parents' home for the funeral, Lan Shengli nodded, with a particularly calm expression on his face.

Lan Shengli has become accustomed to this kind of life without seeing or hearing from his wife all year round.

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