Lan Qingyu looked at Lan Wangyan with eyes full of love, just like a father. It would be a lie for Lan Wangshu to say he was not moved.
"Uncle."
Lan Duoduo and Lan Luochen walked in together and were shocked to see Lan Qingyu. They hadn't seen each other for many years. They hadn't seen Lan Qingyu since Lan Qingshan's death.
Lan Qingyu quickly agreed and continued to search his purse for copper coins to give as New Year's money.
Lan Wangshu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this. She could see that Lan Qingyu's life was very difficult. He didn't have much flesh on his face. Although his clothes looked clean, they were torn at the wrists and other places that were often worn. This was probably his most decent set of clothes.
On weekdays in the countryside, the siblings usually dressed comfortably and low-key, and they didn't notice that the clothes were quite different from what they wore in the city.
She glanced at the two of them, and they hurriedly stopped Lan Qingyu and pulled him to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.
Lan Wangyu looked at the stranger in front of him, took a step back, and spoke cautiously.
"who are you?"
"You are Xiaoyu, right?"
Lan Qingyu's heart melted when he looked at the sleepy Lan Wangyu, who was soft and obedient. He reached out to help Lan Wangyu wash his hands. The little guy was not afraid and let him do whatever he wanted.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Don't be afraid, my brother is by my side, so he must not be a bad person."
"I'm your uncle."
Lan Wangyu tilted his head to look at Lan Qingyu and nodded calmly.
"You don't look like your second uncle, but your nose looks like your grandma's. You won't bully us, will you?"
"Of course not. Uncle will make more money to support your studies, okay?"
Lan Wangyu looked at Lan Luochen, his little head couldn’t figure out why his sister didn’t let him study? No, that wasn’t right. His sister always kept her word. He could only look up to his second brother for help.
"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now. Let's have a good family reunion dinner first."
Lan Luochen smiled and changed the subject, and the few of them walked towards the dining table in a friendly manner.
In the morning, in addition to pastries, everyone had a bowl of steamed eggs, some cold dishes, and fragrant rice mixed with polished rice.
Lan Qingyu felt it was a luxury and didn't dare to move the chopsticks.
"Wangshu, just eat a bite. This is too rich."
"Uncle, I can make money now, and these are not very expensive. You can't treat yourself badly if you have enough food, so that you can have a good body. If you get sick, I don't know how much money it will cost. Don't suffer, and the money will be gone. It's not worth it."
Lan Qingyu noticed that everyone was eating with gusto. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Lan Wangshu said made sense. He should just do more work when he returned to the provincial capital. The children were growing up and they couldn't let them suffer any more.
He gave the steamed egg in his hand to Lan Wangshu and lowered his head to eat.
"Uncle?"
"Uncle is an adult, he doesn't need to grow, just eat, this family still depends on you."
Lan Qingyu kept her head down, buried in her bowl. Lan Wangshu couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. This was the first time since she came to this world that an elder, except the village chief, had cared about her so directly.
"Uncle, please eat quickly. This is the standard in our family. I live much better than you think. By the way, I heard that uncle is an accountant in the provincial capital?"
Lan Wangshu was originally worried that no one would do the accounting, but now he has a pillow just as he feels sleepy.
"Yes, I have limited talent, but I have a lot of patience and carefulness, and I can endure hardship. This is a very good job."
"Then uncle, don't leave. We will build a new house next spring. You can go directly to the village workshop to manage the accounts. I will take care of the money-making matters."
"How can this be possible? How can I leave the responsibility of supporting the family to a little girl like you?"
Lan Qingyu disagreed with this statement. She believed that a woman should stay at home and wait to get married. Many families would look down upon her if she ran around outside every day.
"It's settled. I'll use my uncle's money to build you a house. You can stay in the village to manage the accounts and don't mess around outside. When you have time, talk to Luo Chen about your experience in the exam. It happens that he has two exams this year. You don't have to worry about your salary. Can it be the same as in the county? Or maybe my uncle doesn't like the village and just likes the outside world. If that's the case, I won't force you. Just make sure you eat well and dress well and don't worry about us."
Of course Lan Qingyu likes the prosperity of the provincial capital, but he is even more reluctant to leave these younger generations. Now that some people in the Lan family have run away or died, if he doesn't protect them anymore, how can Lan Wangshu handle it all by himself?
After all, family ties are more important.
"Then it's settled. It's what it should be. It doesn't have to be the same as in the provincial capital. I'm at home, and the Lan family has an adult. There's someone to give advice when things go wrong."
Lan Duoduo understood Lan Wangshu's intention and agreed with a smile.
"Yes, uncle, we can't let my sister handle this alone. We need an adult to protect us."
"Uncle, just stay here and you should start a family."
Lan Wangshu picked up a piece of cake for him, and Lan Qingyu's face suddenly turned as red as a cooked tomato.
"This, there is no rush."
