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

"Alas~" Lan Shu sighed.

It seems that after this year, 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 will have a good year first.

…

Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the morning, Chang'an Street, Lan Dazhuang's house.

Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, and Lan Shu brothers and sisters gathered.

Lan Shu can't remember the last time the four of them spent the New Year together, when was it?

Fortunately, after so many years, even though the four of them have become a family, the relationship between brother and sister remains the same.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, Lan Shu originally proposed to spend it at her house, after all, her home was slightly larger.

But Lan Dazhuang said, he is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and the New Year will definitely be in his house.

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

As for their father, who is also in Kyoto, Lan Shengli, because Old Man Lan can't do without people, Lan Shengli couldn't be there today.

Lan Dazhuang planned to get together with their siblings first, and then go back to the 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, Tang Chu, Tian Na, and Yu Xia, the three daughters-in-law of the Lan family, although they don't see each other much, they also have a harmonious relationship when they get together.

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

Xiaobai and the three uncles hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they sat together and chatted freely.

Lan Shu didn't have anything to do, so she moved a stool to sit and watched her daughter take her three younger brothers to play in the snow in the yard.

Every year at this time of year, it snows in Kyoto, and this year is no exception.

It was the first time that the four children had come together so well, and even if the cousins and brothers did not see each other before, now that they had met, they quickly played together.

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 found by relatives in his mother's family.

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

It's just that I heard from the second brother/second brother that their mother's relatives even asked the younger sister to arrange jobs for their children?

Lan Dazhuang learned about this, and he took it all in one bite!

"Little sister, leave the work arrangement to me, although the workers on my free-range chicken farm and orchard are full, there is no problem with stuffing people in the semi-finished fried chicken processing plant and juice factory."

Lan Shu listened to her eldest brother's words, she knew that her eldest brother was sharing her worries and not making her embarrassed.

However, the eldest brother is willing to arrange a job for others, but the other party may not want to go to a remote village to do a job.

However, Lan Shu finally nodded in agreement with the eldest brother's proposal.

I can also try to see what kind of temperament the relatives in my adoptive mother's family are.

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

At home, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo had already prepared a sumptuous meal.

And on the side of 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.

…

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

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

Old Man Wei is now almost eighty years old, he was a soldier and fought in a young man, and his health looks very good.

But when I got old, the problems on my body gradually came out-

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

The weather was windy and rainy, and it hurt so much that I could barely get out of bed.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, it has snowed in Kyoto, the air outside is humid, and the cold wind seems to blow into the cracks of the bones!

So the old man lay down again—

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the family had dinner, he couldn't get on the table, so he put a small table on the bed, and the meals were solved in bed.

Xiaobai saw his grandfather's physical condition, even if he was a medical expert, he had no way to quickly relieve his grandfather's pain.

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

Xiaobai suddenly found that his grandfather and grandmother's bodies were really old......

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

The years are not forgiving, and he knows that his grandfather and grandmother will have that kind of 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 accompany her adoptive father for the New Year.

This time I went to the old mansion, there were only two people, her and Xiaobai.

The daughter and son followed their grandparents back to Gu's house last night, saying that they would stay for a few days.

In the Lan family's old mansion, the original three broken tile houses had been repaired by the masons Lan Shu had found before.

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

Although the old house looks the same at first glance, the interior has been renovated.

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

But Old Man Lan is homesick and nostalgic, and he has severe Alzheimer's disease, if he really builds a new house, maybe he will feel that this is not his home at all.

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

At this time, the four Lan Shu brothers and sisters took their families and sat around the square table in the main hall of the old mansion.

Because of the large number of people and the small tables, everyone sat really crowded.

But I can make do with eating.

Lunch was made by Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Xiaobai when they went to the kitchen.

Because there were many people, the table was small and couldn't fit a few plates, so the three of them didn't cook too many dishes, but the portions of each dish were very large, and there were four iron basins full of them on the table!

My family sits down to eat together, no matter what the food looks good or not, today's lunch at noon, the main one is full~!

After eating, Tang Chu and Tian Na took the children back to rest first, and when the two left, they called Yu Xia together, and the three of them could talk together when they went back.

The four Lan Shu brothers and sisters and Xiaobai stayed in the old mansion and chatted with Lan Shengli.

Lan Shengli is in his sixties this year, and his hair is grayer than when he first opened the fried chicken restaurant, and now there are few black hairs.

And his father, Old Man Lan's body, is not as good as day by day, and decades of wandering have exhausted the foundation of his body.

Even if he has been taken care of by his son over the years, he still can't bear the years.

Three years ago, Old Man Lan suffered a stroke and was paralyzed once, even after treatment, he recovered well, but so far he has one arm and one leg basically lost his mobility.

So it led to Lan Shengli, who was a son, taking care of it more and more hard.

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 at noon, so he knew that something must be wrong.

Knowing that his wife had returned to his parents' house for the funeral, Lan Shengli nodded, with an extraordinarily calm expression on his face.

I can't see my wife all year round, I can't hear the news of my wife, Lan Shengli is used to this kind of life.

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