At the beginning of the year, Xu Che and Tan Ruoyun returned to Kyoto with Yan's mother and child, Yan Yibo. They directly took Yan's mother and the child to the small courtyard that was cleaned up and settled.

Luo Qingyan bought rice, noodles, oil, various grains and various seasonings in advance, and prepared a lot of vegetables on the day when people were about to arrive. Everything is ready and people can move in directly when they come.

Luo Qingyan knew that the eldest brother could go to the small courtyard to make lunch before noon when he got home with people, so that everyone who was hungry and cold could eat a hot meal when they entered the door.

Luo Qingyan burned Xin'an's earth heater in advance, and the vigorous fire quickly boiled the water, and the house quickly warmed up.

The place where Yan's mother and children live is much warmer than Kyoto, Luo Qingyan estimates that they must not adapt to the cold in the north now, Luo Qingyan prepares thick cotton clothes for the elderly and children. If you burn the earth heating at home, it won't be cold. In a few days, the weather will warm up.

She saw that the quilt prepared by her sister-in-law Tan Ruoyun was also very thick, and the bed was also soft and thick, so it would not be cold when she slept. It is hoped that the elderly and children will adapt to life in the north as soon as possible.

Luo Qingyan made braised pork and steamed fish, and where her sister-in-law went to the countryside, she used to eat rice, and Luo Qingyan used a rice cooker to stuff rice. It's not too late to fry the greens and others when they enter the door.

At half past twelve in the afternoon, Xu Che and Tan Ruoyun entered the door with an old man and a child.

Luo Qingyan looked at the old lady who was pulled in by her sister-in-law Tan Ruoyun and knew that it should be Yan's mother, and she felt that Yan's mother was by no means a simple rural woman at a glance.

The old lady's hair is gray but meticulously combed, and although her face is a little tired, her face is kind, probably because of the ups and downs of life, with a little sense of vicissitudes.

The clothes she wore were also very clean and tidy, and although she was in her fifties, her waist was straight, and she didn't have the timidity to go to a strange place, giving people the impression that she was an old lady of a big family.

Luo Qingyan heard the eldest brother say some things about the Yan family, and knew that the old lady was widowed at a young age, leaving orphans and widows to live a difficult life, and it was easy to bring up her son, but the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and she experienced so many tragic things in the world but did not fall, which shows that the old lady is not a simple person.

Anyway, Luo Qingyan's expression and temperament when she looked at the old lady were not like ordinary old ladies in the countryside, even ordinary people in the city couldn't compare.

It's no wonder that the old lady has a long-term vision to support her daughter-in-law to go to college, and she is a knowledgeable person at first glance.

Not to mention Luo Qingyan, even Xu Che felt the same when he saw Yan's mother for the first time when he arrived at Yan's house in the countryside. They still have an eye for people in this regard.

Luo Qingyan saw people entering the door and hurriedly said: "Big brother, you can come back, this is the aunt of the Yan family, it's cold outside, come into the house and warm up." ”

Luo Qingyan turned his head to look at a beautiful little boy of seven or eight years old, bent down and took the little boy's hand and said with a smile: "This is Xiao Yibo, go into the house with your aunt, and your aunt will bring you candy to eat." ”

So saying, he led the little boy into the house.

Everyone went into the house and introduced each other, Luo Qingyan made a pot of hot tea for everyone, and brought candy to Xiao Yibo to eat.

The little boy was a little shy, looked at his mother, nodded, took the candy and said, "Thank you, auntie." ”

Luo Qingyan likes this little boy very much, the tutor is very good, it feels very eye-catching, touches Xiao Yibo's head and smiles and says: "There are many children in my aunt's house, you can go to my aunt's house to play in the future, and you can make many friends." ”

After speaking, Luo Qingyan stood up and said, "Aunt Yan, sister-in-law, you sit down first, I'm almost ready for lunch, just two green vegetables haven't been fried, let's eat in a while." ”

When Tan Ruoyun heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen with you and give you a hand." ”

Luo Qingyan stopped: "There are only a few greens left, and the rest is ready, so you don't need to touch your hands." I have already boiled hot water in the water heater in the bathroom, sister-in-law, you take Aunt Yan and the child to wash up, and we will have a good meal in a while. I've got towels, toothbrushes, and so on. ”

Tan Ruoyun didn't say politely: "Okay, I'll take them to wash their faces first, it's really uncomfortable to take the train on the way." After eating, you have to take a good rest, the old people and children are suffering enough. ”

Xu Che went to the bathroom, quickly washed his face, and went to the kitchen to help serve the food.

Luo Qingyan saw the eldest brother come in and said, "Big brother, you go and set the table, the meat and dishes can be served." The greens are also good right away. ”

Xu Che took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by his sister and went back to the living room to set the table, and then went to the kitchen to serve food.

"Yo, braised pork, you're blessed. I love the braised pork you make. This steamed fish is also good, thank you little sister. ”

Luo Qingyan smiled: "You're polite with me." Serve these plates of cold dishes as well. ”

Luo Qingyan not only made hot dishes, but also prepared cold dishes. Ham, beef in sauce, and a canned fruit.

Luo Qingyan quickly fried a meat fried garlic moss, garlic oil and wheat vegetables, and dried fried beans, all of which are home-cooked dishes. If you cook too delicate dishes, I am afraid that the old lady will be uncomfortable. Luo Qingyan felt that the more homely, the better, so that everyone seemed to be a family.

The meal was quickly filled to the table, and it was very hearty, and it was a welcome for the elderly and children who had just arrived in Kyoto.

Yan's mother was taken to the clean and beautiful bathroom by Tan Ruoyun to wash up, looking at such a high-end house decorated, Yan's mother felt that this Xu family was definitely not an ordinary family.

Yan's mother is indeed from a big family, but her own family is broken, and her family is ruined in the war years, and she is the only one left in the family, and she married a countryman in order to survive when she fled. But the family heritage has been deeply engraved in her mind. With her eyesight, she can see at a glance that the man who married her daughter-in-law for the second time is not an ordinary person, and her family background must not be simple.

Now that she is in Kyoto, she sees the house she and her little grandson will live in in the future, which confirms her suspicions. It is not easy for people in the city to have such a house, not to mention that this is Kyoto, and this house is still for her, an outsider, to live in, which means that this house is just a vacant house. Is this a condition that ordinary people can have?

Yan's mother was a little uncertain in her heart, but she thought about it again, what could she have for a bad old woman that others could want. As long as she can be with her grandson and watch her grandson grow up healthy, nothing else matters.

Yan's mother settled down and led her grandson back to the living room table, and saw a large table of sumptuous meals, both surprised and moved.

She and her children were so flattered that they could be so warmly entertained, and she was a lot more relieved to see the beautiful girl who received them so warmly.

This also shows that people do not look down on her because she is an old woman from the countryside. Didn't ignore her and leave her because she was just an outsider. She was very impressed.
