Chapter 96
Good enough relationship
The next day is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year.
At noon, Lan Shu arrived at Linjiang City Station and got on the train bound for Kyoto.
In the car, it was approaching the Chinese New Year, and not many people were traveling far by car.
In this era, unlike in later generations, there is no saying that traffic volume peaks every year.
In the past, there might still be some people with good living conditions who would go all the way to Kyoto to see the sights and travel.
But before the Chinese New Year, most people still won’t go out.
Even if there were, it would be from a big city to a small place.
Cars like Lan Shu's, which go from small places to big cities, are mostly empty.
The train arrived at the station from around 2pm to 6:10am the next morning. Before getting on the train, Lan Shu took some delicious food with her.
The adoptive parents prepared boiled eggs as a must-have when going out, and his brother bought two packs of fruits and a bag of sugar from the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Although Lan Shu is nineteen years old this year and will turn twenty next June, in the eyes of her elder brother, she seems to have always been a child.
When she was out, she even bought her candy——
Seeing this bag of candy, Lan Shu couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Thinking of how her eldest brother was currently focused on developing the orchards and free-range chicken farms in the back mountains and was indifferent to other things, Lan Shu would really worry about him a little.
A man is a boy until he dies, and he seems to be talking about her eldest brother.
Her eldest brother is 26 years old this year, but he still doesn't know how to deal with emotions.
My parents used to worry about my eldest brother's marriage.
But now, I'm numb.
In fact, Lan Dazhuang was not bad looking, and he was tall and strong. Many girls in the village were interested in him, but none of them could be attracted to him.
It's not because Lan Dazhuang has high vision, but because he values feelings.
When she lived at home before, Lan Shu once asked her eldest brother why he was not looking for a partner.
The answer was simple.
When he was a child, he was used to seeing his parents loving each other, and he also wanted to find a grown-up girl who was in love with him and spend the rest of his life with him.
In other people's homes, it would be impossible for him to be dragged to this age!
Fortunately, his parents are both well-educated intellectuals, so they did not demand that he get married and have children as soon as possible.
Lan Shu sighed when she thought that one of the reasons why she went to Kyoto this time was to help her parents bring dowry money to Lan Xinya.
I really didn’t expect that her three brothers are all single, and among her parents’ four biological children, the youngest daughter will soon be discussing marriage~!
I kept thinking about it, and before I knew it, time gradually passed.
It was already dark outside the car window. After this night, she would reach her destination early tomorrow morning——
…
In the early morning, at six o'clock, the train gradually entered the station.
This is Lan Shu’s second visit to Kyoto.
At 6:10, we got off the bus and left the station.
On the platform, Lan Shu was carrying two large bags. From a distance, she saw Xiaobai, wearing a dark brown coat and black trousers, walking towards her with a straight figure.
Before she saw Xiaobai, it seemed that Xiaobai had seen her earlier.
The two of them met, Xiaobai naturally took the big black cloth bag from Lan Shu's hand, and then the two of them walked out of the station together.
The Wei family's driver is already waiting there——
Xiaobai originally wanted Sister Lan to go home with him, but Lan Shu refused.
"Let's go to Lan's house first, there are some things to deal with," she said.
"Let's go have breakfast first." Xiaobai looked at Lan Shu and said seriously.
Although this look and tone sounded like a discussion, Lan Shu could feel Xiaobai's firm attitude.
"Okay, let's eat first." She nodded.
Next, the driver immediately took the two of them to a nearby breakfast restaurant to eat.
Lan Shu ordered a meat bun and a bowl of millet porridge, and ate them slowly.
Xiaobai ate more, three steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, until he was seven to eighty percent full.
At another table not far away from the two of them, Driver Feng also took advantage of it. According to his own preferences, he had a delicious meal.
After eating, the group of people returned to the car. Driver Feng, who was in the driver's seat in front of him, had already consciously changed his driving route and headed towards the compound where the Lan family was located, even without Xiaobai's instructions.
…
At this time in the Lan family, Lan Xinya hadn't gotten up yet, and Lan Weicheng had packed himself up and was about to go out to inspect some of his counters in the mall.
Xu Shan also got up and got ready to go to work.
Today is the last day of work in the unit, and tomorrow is the official holiday!
Then you can finally have a good rest~
And the most important thing is that her biological daughter will come to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year with the couple!
Thinking of their family reunion during the Chinese New Year, Xu Shan couldn't help but feel cheerful~
Here, not long after Lan Weicheng and his wife went out, a black car drove into the compound where the Lan family lived.
In the compound, there are trees on both sides of the four-meter-wide asphalt road.
While the car was driving on the road, Lan Shu opened the car window a small crack and blew in the cool breeze to dilute the stuffy air in the car.
Today's cars don't have as many functions as later generations. They don't have ventilation systems, and in-car air conditioners haven't yet been introduced.
When the weather is hot, open the windows for ventilation, and when the weather is cold, close the windows tightly. However, if they are closed too tightly, it will easily cause stuffiness and make the people in the car unable to breathe.
Fortunately, Xiaobai's car is nice and there is no smell of gasoline when sitting in it.
In a worse car, the smell is unavoidable, and you may feel dizzy and nauseous if you smell it too much.
The car was not driving very fast, maintaining a speed of about fifteen yards. There were rules in the compound and the speed could not be exceeded.
There are about fifty or sixty households living in this compound, and most of them are family members of Kyoto public officials. Although their ranks are not that high, they are still people in the circle.
At this time, a black car with a white brand drove into the compound. Many people in the compound rushing to work early in the morning saw this car.
Some people even recognized whose car it was based on the license plate number!
"I don't know who is sitting in the car? Can the Wei family be connected to any family in our compound?"
"It should be said that in our compound, which family can be related to the Wei family?"
"Yes, the Wei family is not ordinary..."
"Isn't the daughter of the Lan family in our compound about to make an appointment with the Gu family's eldest son? Although his eldest son is not the biological grandson of the Wei family, there is still such a relationship~"
"So that car...is going to Lan's house?"
"Probably!"
…
Just as some people in the compound guessed, the car quickly stopped in front of the Lan family's double-story courtyard.
But the person in the car was not the eldest son of the Gu family, but the youngest son of the Gu family, the grandson of the Wei family!
Lan Shu sat in the car and looked up at the place where her biological parents lived.
Being able to have such a two-story building in the compound is already amazing~!
But this is mainly because the older generation of the Lan family has a good foundation. In fact, by the time Lan Shengli was young, the Lan family could no longer keep up with the "stamina".
In the past two years, Lan Shengli relied on doing business to become successful again.
