Chapter 497 is almost like a broken relationship

  The next day, Lan Shu called her second brother and told her that she had persuaded her adoptive mother.

   It just so happened that during the holidays these few days, the children didn't go to school, and Lan Xiuming's work unit was also shifted to rest, so he brought his son to visit Chang Chunfang.

  When Chang Chunfang saw her little grandson, she was still tense, but now she calmed down, happily holding her little grandson's hand, talking non-stop.

   Lan Shu watched from the side, and sure enough, children are the best medicine to solve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

   This was not only useful in the beginning of Tang Dynasty, but it is also useful in the situation of the second brother's family now.

  Second sister-in-law Tian Na did not come today. According to Lan Xiuming, it was because his wife was on duty at 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. For a while, the daughter-in-law was angry, and it was reasonable to not want to see her mother-in-law.

   Fortunately, Chang Chunfang's attention was all on her little grandson, so she didn't care whether her daughter-in-law came or not.

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

   Because Lan Shu hasn't been to Linjiang City many times these years, she hasn't seen this little nephew a few times.

  But every time we see each other, the aunt and nephew get along well.

   Moreover, Lan Shu found that her little nephew had an expression of admiration every time she saw her.

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

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

  Before she left, she invited her little nephew to visit Kyoto when she was free.

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

  He has always heard from his parents that his cousin, cousin and cousin are all in Kyoto.

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

   Aside, Lan Xiuming saw his son's reaction. 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 to celebrate the New Year this year."

   As he said that, Lan Xiuming turned his head to look at Chang Chunfang again, "Mom, you haven't been to Kyoto for a few years. During the Chinese New Year this year, come with us to reunite with Dad?"

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

  As a mother myself, it's not easy to express my disgust towards his grandfather in front of my son.

   That would be too unfilial!

   So this matter was settled.

  …

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

  She talked with Xiaobai on the phone and learned that Xiaobai took her daughter and son to the north for fun and would be back tomorrow.

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

   Two days later, the holiday is completely over.

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

   Now Gu Qingning is already a third-year junior high school student, and will enter high school next year, so her study progress is much more intense than before.

  The stage of a child's transition from junior high school to high school is very important. Fortunately, Gu Qingning's academic performance has always been good on weekdays, which saves Lan Shu a lot of worry.

  Gu Qingning is almost fifteen years old. At this age, many parents worry about their children's puppy love.

  Lan Shu was no exception to this, and took this matter to heart.

  Lan Shu knows that with her daughter's appearance, there are definitely many male classmates around her who have a crush on her, so Lan Shu has secretly learned about her daughter's situation in school.

   Fortunately, her daughter is devoted to studying and not interested in relationships, which makes Lan Shu feel at ease.

   Lan Shu also occasionally asked her daughter's views on puppy love when she sat down to chat with her daughter.

  How could Gu Qingning not know her mother's worry?

  She said, "Mom, don't worry, falling in love is such a waste of time, it will only affect my study."

  After hearing these words, Lan Shu realized that her daughter was very rational and knew that learning was the most important thing.

But then, she heard her daughter say, "Although I have received a lot of love letters recently, none of the boys who wrote love letters to me are better educated than me, and they are not as good-looking as I am. Your daughter and I have 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 like each other at all!

Fortunately, my daughter is very good herself, and there are not many male students who can study better than her. In addition, the appearance of boys is also within the scope of her consideration. At this moment, no one in their school can make her daughter look up to her up!

   This is fine, but learning is the most important thing at this stage.

  …

   Two months later, the Chinese New Year is approaching.

  This year, the second brother's family will come to Kyoto to reunite with them, so Lan Shu has made preparations in advance.

  Because I don't know whether the second brother's family will live in the old house of the Lan family, or the eldest brother, or her side, so after discussing with her adoptive father, Lan Shu called a few masons to the old house to repair the house.

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

  Old man Lan is now in his eighties. He suffered from dementia in his early years and couldn't remember things. As he got older, he became more confused.

  When he saw Lan Shu, he didn't know him at all. It was only when Lan Shengli said the word 'granddaughter' to him that the old man Lan seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Lan Shu and smiled.

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

  Old man Lan still remembers that after he returned home from homelessness a few years ago, his granddaughter sent him a lot of rice, flour, chicken, duck and fish.

   That was the first time he experienced the happiness of not worrying about food and drink after wandering for many years.

  So even though the old man has dementia, he still remembers this incident clearly.

  Lan Shu and Old Man Lan haven't met much, and she's not the granddaughter of the other party, so Old Man Lan doesn't miss her so much.

  After the workers who repaired the house started work, Lan Shu chatted with her adoptive father again, and said that her adoptive mother would come to Kyoto with her second brother's family during the Chinese New Year.

  After Lan Shengli separated from his wife in the past few years, he was really not used to it at first, but then he looked away.

  He could understand that his wife didn't like his father-in-law who appeared suddenly, but he couldn't understand that his wife could be so cold-hearted that he didn't bother to visit him once in a few years.

  This made him feel that the decades-long relationship between him and his wife might not be a big deal in his wife's heart.

  So there was a period of time when Lan Shengli was very old, in his sixties, and he even experienced the pain similar to that of falling out of love.

   Now, when he learned that his wife was coming to celebrate the New Year with him, Lan Shengli's heart was as calm as water, without any ups and downs.
