MTL - 1980s Group-Pampering: Cannon-Fodder Real Young Lady Gets a Divorce and Becomes a Billionaire-Chapter 499 Year
Chapter 499 Year
In a large group, sometimes a small screw goes wrong, and the consequences 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.
Morning, Lan Dazhuang's home on Chang'an Street.
Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, and Lan Shu brothers and sisters gathered together.
Lan Shu doesn'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 the New Year must be at his home.
He is not afraid of being busy, as long as the younger brothers and younger sisters are happy.
As for their father, Lan Shengli, who was also in Kyoto, Lan Shengli couldn't be there today because the old man Lan couldn't do without people.
Lan Dazhuang planned to get together with his brother and sister first, and then go back to the old house to see their father and grandfather in the second year of junior high school.
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.
Xiao Bai sat down and chatted with the three uncles for a long time.
Lan Shu had nothing to do, so she moved a stool and sat on it, watching her daughter and three younger brothers playing in the snow in the yard.
Every year at this time, it snows in Kyoto, and this year is no exception.
It was the first time that the four children got together so well. Even though the cousins didn’t meet each other before, 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!
I just heard from the second brother/brother 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 it all in one go!
"Little sister, leave it to me to arrange work. Although my free-range chicken farm and orchard are already full of workers, it is no problem to put someone in the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory and juice factory."
Lan Shu listened to what her elder brother said, 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 her head in agreement with the elder brother's proposal.
It just happens to be able to try to see what kind of temperament the relatives in the adoptive mother's family are.
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 the 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.
Lanshu and Xiaobai went to Wei's house with their parents-in-law to celebrate the New Year as in previous years.
Old man Wei is almost eighty years old now. He served as a soldier and fought in wars when he was young, and his body looks very good.
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 windy and rainy weather, the pain is so painful that I can hardly get up in bed.
During 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!
Then the old man lay down again—
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family had dinner, but he couldn't even serve the table. He put a small table on the bed by himself, and all meals were settled on the bed.
Xiaobai saw his grandfather's physical condition. Even though he was an expert in medicine, he couldn't quickly relieve the pain on his grandfather.
Grandpa is getting old, taking medicine for this disease can only alleviate the symptoms, and there is almost no possibility of cure.
Xiao Bai suddenly discovered that the bodies of grandpa and grandma are really old...
He thought about the death of his grandma a few years ago.
Time is not forgiving, and he knew that his grandpa and grandma would have such a day.
It's just that he hopes that day will 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 today to spend the New Year with her adoptive father.
Going to the old house this time, there are 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 have 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, the inside has been renovated.
Actually, according to Lan Shu's thinking, there is really no need to keep this dilapidated house, it is better to tear it down and rebuild it.
But the 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 Lan Shu only asked people to renovate the house after communicating with her adoptive father.
At this time, the four brothers and sisters of Lan Shu and their family members sat 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 I can make do with food.
Lunch was prepared by brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Xiaobai in the kitchen.
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 portion of each dish was 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 meal, just focus on one and eat enough~!
After dinner, 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 brothers and sisters 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 is turning 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 these years, he still couldn't bear the years.
Three years ago, the old blue man suffered a hemiplegia from a stroke. Even after treatment, he recovered well, but so far he has basically lost his ability to move in one arm and one leg.
That's why Lan Shengli, who is taking care of his son, is getting harder and harder.
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 when he was eating at noon, so he knew something must be wrong.
Learning that his wife had returned to her natal home for the funeral, Lan Shengli nodded, with a very calm expression on his face.
Having not seen or heard from his wife all year round, Lan Shengli is already used to such a life.
So it doesn't matter to him whether his wife comes or not.
