The next day, Lan Shu called her second brother and said that she had persuaded her adoptive mother to do so.

It just so happened that during the holidays in the past few days, the child did not go to school, and Lan Xiuming's unit was also transferred to rest, so he took his son to see Chang Chunfang.

When Chang Chunfang saw her little grandson, she was still tense and couldn't pull her face, but she suddenly eased up at this moment, happily holding her little grandson's hand and talking non-stop.

Lan Shu watched from the sidelines, and sure enough, the child is a good medicine to solve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

This point was not only useful to Tang Chu at the beginning, but also to the situation of the second brother's family now.

The second sister-in-law, Tian Na, did not come today, according to Lan Xiuming, because his daughter-in-law was on duty in the hospital today.

Whether this is true or not, Lan Shu doesn't know.

But thinking about it, there was a quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law the day before yesterday, and the daughter-in-law was angry for a while, and it was reasonable that she didn't want to see her mother-in-law.

Fortunately, Chang Chunfang's attention is all on her little grandson, so she doesn't care about whether her daughter-in-law comes or not.

Not far away, Lan Shu's second brother's son is called Lan Haoran, who is nine years old this year.

Lan Shu has not been to Linjiang City many times over the years, so she has not met this little nephew a few times.

But every time I see it, my aunt and nephew get along well.

And Lan Shu found that every time the little nephew saw her, she had an expression of adoration.

Obviously, when he was not in Linjiang City, his little nephew should have heard a lot of things about himself at home.

After the adoptive mother and the second brother reconciled, Lan Shu stayed in Linjiang City for another day before returning to Kyoto.

Before leaving, she invited her nephew to go to Kyoto when he was free.

Hearing the little aunt's words, Lan Haoran's eyes lit up.

He'd always heard from his parents that his cousin, his cousin, and his cousin were all in Kyoto.

In the past, when he was young and didn't remember, he had contact with his cousin and cousin, but he hadn't seen each other in the past few years, and he wanted to see each other for a long time.

On the side, Lan Xiuming saw his son's reaction, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said to Lan Shu.

"Why don't I take Haoran and your second sister-in-law to Kyoto for the New Year this year."

Saying that, Lan Xiuming turned his head to look at Chang Chunfang again, "Mom, you haven't been to Kyoto for a few years, this year's Chinese New Year, will you reunite with us with Dad?" ”

Although Chang Chunfang didn't want to see her wife's father, when she heard her son's words, she hesitated for a moment and agreed.

As a mother, it's not good to show a special dislike for his grandfather in front of his son.

That would be too unfilial!

So the matter was settled.

…

After Lan Shu returned to Kyoto from Linjiang City, the October holiday had come to an end.

She and Xiaobai knew on the phone that Xiaobai took her daughter and son to the north to play, and she would be back tomorrow.

So Lan Shu had no other plans to travel, just waiting for the children to return at home.

Two days later, the holiday was over completely.

Lan Shu continued to work, while Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui, two siblings, also resumed their studies in junior high school and kindergarten respectively.

Now Gu Qingning is a junior high school student, and she will enter high school next year, so her study progress is much tighter than before.

The stage of the child's junior high school is very important, but fortunately, Gu Qingning's academic performance has always been good on weekdays, which saves Lan Shu a lot of heart.

Gu Qingning is almost fifteen years old, and at this age, many parents will worry about their children's early love.

Lan Shu is no exception to this, and takes this matter to heart.

Lan Shu knew that with her daughter's appearance, there was definitely no shortage of male classmates around her who had a good impression of her, so Lan Shu had secretly learned about her daughter's situation in school.

Fortunately, her daughter is all about learning and is not interested in feelings, which reassures Lan Shu.

Lan Shu also occasionally sat down to chat with her daughter, and asked her daughter about her opinion on early love.

How could Gu Qingning not know about his mother's worries?

She said, "Mom, don't worry, falling in love is such a time-wasting thing, it will only affect my studies." ”

As soon as she heard this, Lan Shu found that her daughter was very rational and knew that she was focused on learning.

But then, she heard her daughter say, "Although I have received a lot of love letters recently, none of the boys who wrote me love letters studied better than me, and they didn't look as good as me, your daughter and I have a high vision~!" ”

Lan Shu: ......

She suddenly understood that her daughter didn't consider falling in love, not because she was more rational and loved learning.

It's because she doesn't look down on each other at all!

Fortunately, her daughter is very good, there are not many male classmates who can study better than her, and the appearance of boys is also within the scope of her daughter's consideration, so it is estimated that no one in their school can make her daughter look at it!

That's fine, but learning is the most important thing at this stage.

…

Two months later, the Chinese New Year approached.

This year, the second brother's family is coming to Kyoto to reunite with them, so Lan Shu prepared in advance.

Because I didn't know whether the second brother's family wanted to live in the Lan family's old house, or live in the eldest brother's house, or on her side, Lan Shu called a few masons to go to the old mansion to repair the house after discussing with her adoptive father.

On the day of repairing the house, Lan Shu also followed the workers to the Lan family's old house.

Old man Lan is now in his eighties, he had Alzheimer's disease in his early years, he can't remember things, and as he gets older, the whole person is even more confused.

When he saw Lan Shu, he didn't know him at all, but when Lan Shengli said the word 'granddaughter' to him, Old Man Lan seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Lan Shu and smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes! Granddaughter, my filial granddaughter! ”

Old Man Lan still remembered that after he returned home from his wandering life a few years ago, his granddaughter asked people to bring him a lot of rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

It was the first time he had experienced the happiness of not worrying about eating and drinking after many years of wandering.

So even though the old man is dementia, he remembers this matter clearly.

Lan Shu and Old Man Lan don't see each other much, and she is not the other party's granddaughter, so she doesn't think about Old Man Lan so much.

After the workers who repaired the house started, Lan Shu chatted with her adoptive father a few more words, saying that her adoptive mother would come to Kyoto with her second brother's family during the New Year.

After Lan Shengli separated from his wife in the past few years, he was indeed a little unaccustomed to it at first, but then he saw it.

He can understand that his wife doesn't like his father, who suddenly appeared as a father-in-law, but he can't understand that his wife can be so cold that he doesn't bother to come to see him once for several years.

This made him feel that the decades-long husband and wife relationship between him and his wife may not be anything at all in his wife's heart.

So for a while, Lan Shengli was a lot older, people in their sixties, and even experienced a pain similar to falling out of love.

So much so that now, when he learned that his wife was coming to celebrate the New Year with him, Lan Shengli's heart was like water, and there was no ups and downs.
