In the Lan family’s ancestral home.

Old Man Lan Dayong is a veteran in the village. He has been busy in the fields all day since he was young. His skin is tanned and there are deep wrinkles on his face and hands.

Fortunately, his hard work paid off and he was able to support his family. He and his wife Liu Hongyun had a total of ten children, but only four sons and two daughters survived. The three sons got married and the two daughters were married.

The eldest daughter refused to listen to the advice and fell in love with a young educated youth who came to work in the countryside. She insisted on marrying him. In the end, she found a dilapidated house at the back of the village and started a family.

He was afraid that his younger daughter would repeat the same mistake as his older daughter, so when he met a good family, he hastily married her off to the next village.

Now there are only four sons left in the family, and they are in a semi-divided family situation, that is, they eat and live together but their money is separate.

Apart from a certain salary that they hand over every month, the remaining money is theirs. The general direction of the family is controlled by Old Man Lan, and they are in charge of the small matters.

But now, there is something wrong with the general direction he has grasped!

Lan Xin, who had originally decided to go to Shanghai, came back.

He learned this from the villagers.

How could Old Man Lan not be angry and annoyed?

He sat on a bench in the main room, his legs crossed, puffing on his water pipe, his brows furrowed.

But the second daughter-in-law was unaware of his anger and sat at the door muttering to herself.

"Brother and sister-in-law are really good at this. They come back not early or late, but just when the work in the fields is done."

Thinking of this, Li Xia became very angry and threw the dying vegetables in her hands into the basket.

"Okay, what are you mumbling about? You don't know when your elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law will come back, and you didn't even tell my parents. They're making them worry." The third daughter-in-law Xu Rufang said softly.

"That's right. I heard the news of their return from the house next door. I heard that they came back on a tractor. They looked very impressive. I have never ridden a tractor during the slack season." Second sister-in-law Li Xia started muttering again.

After hearing these words, Old Man Lan became even more furious. He put down the hookah in his hand with a thud, and the noise was so loud that his two daughters-in-law dared not say a word.

"Humph."

Old Man Lan snorted, turned around and went back to his room. Looking at his old wife who was packing her things, he immediately became furious.

"It's only been a few days since they packed it up, and now you're taking it back again. Why bother going back and forth?" Old Man Lan said fiercely.

His wife Liu Yunhong rolled her eyes at him and didn't show any fear at all.

"If you don't pack up and go back, your daughter and granddaughter will have to sleep on the floor tonight."

As she spoke, she continued to fold some quilts and sheets. These were given to her by Lan Xin before she went to Shanghai. Since the sun was good these days, she took them out to dry in the sun.

Just now, when she heard someone say Lan Xin was back, she came into the house to pack her things.

Looking at the folded things, Old Man Lan was even more furious: "She had a good life, but she didn't live it herself. Who can she blame for having to come back to live such a hard life?"

"If life is good, will she come back?" Old Mrs. Lan said to Old Man Lan without stopping her actions.

In fact, she was also very puzzled. With Lan Xin's stubborn temper, she would not turn back until she hit the wall. If it wasn't for a big thing, she would not tell her family.

Now he has been gone for so many days and now he is back again. I am afraid he has suffered a great injustice.

Old Man Lan had the same idea. The old couple looked at each other and thought about what to do.

At this time, the second daughter-in-law outside the room shouted, "Lan Xin is back."

……

Lan Xin held a cloth bag in one hand and held Yingying's hand with the other, with Yueyue walking beside her. All the way from the end of the village to the Lan family's ancestral home, they were met with a lot of stares.

It clearly didn't take much time, less than twenty minutes, but those few gossipers were able to spread the news from one end of the village to the other.

Look, everyone along the way was curious about Lan Xin. Many of them asked her with good intentions, or just wanted to know some gossip.

Lan Xin didn't say anything and went home with her eldest brother and sister-in-law. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw their second and third sisters-in-law sitting at the door picking vegetables.

Seeing Lan Xin, Lan's second sister-in-law Li Xia's eyes lit up and she immediately shouted, "Mom and Dad, Lan Xin is back."

As she spoke, she threw down the food in her hand, walked out quickly and opened the gate.

The voice was so loud that Lan Xin's ears turned red and she shouted a few words.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law."

Yingying and Yueyue also shouted together: "Second aunt, third aunt."

After saying that, Lan Xin let go of their hands, and they skipped into the yard, and Lan Xin followed them in.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law Lan, the second sister-in-law Lan also called out to her, "Brother, sister-in-law, when did you come back?"

"I just came back not long ago." Sister Lan walked into the house swiftly, looking around and saying, "Is everything okay at home? How are my parents? Have you harvested all the crops from the fields?"

After hearing her words, Lan Ersao pursed her lips and said, "We just finished harvesting the day before yesterday."

Otherwise, how could it be said that Brother Lan and Sister-in-law Lan came back at the right time? If they had come back two days earlier, she wouldn't be so angry.

Lan Xin at the side couldn't help but change the subject: "Where are my parents? I brought some things back for them in Shanghai."

As she spoke, she patted her cloth bag, took out a bag of fruit candies from it, looked at her nephews who came towards her, and gave each of them a handful.

The children were so happy that they gritted their teeth and kept shouting “Auntie, Auntie”.

Lan Xin walked a few steps across the yard and entered the house, which was also a large tiled house.

Inside the house, Old Man Lan and Old Lady Lan had just come out of their room and looked at their daughter walking towards the light. They couldn't see her face clearly, but her aura and footsteps seemed a little unfamiliar to them.

Until they heard Lan Xin's voice: "Dad, Mom, I'm back. I'm an unfilial daughter and didn't listen to you."

Lan Xin walked into the house, revealing that familiar face, but that face was no longer as gray as before, which made Old Man Lan and the others sure that they had not mistaken her.

She was looking down at her cloth bag and took out several pieces of cloth.

Lan Xin took out two pieces of folded dark red and dark blue cloth and gave them to them. "Mom and Dad, this is the cloth I bought in Shanghai. It looks suitable for you. When you have time, ask your sister-in-law to make you some new clothes."

After Lan Xin finished speaking, she felt a little nervous, but she didn't show it at all.

After giving the cloth to her parents, Lan Xin looked at her sisters-in-law beside her and took out two pieces of cloth from the cloth bag. These were all picked out by her in the department store, and she was sure that no one in the entire Lanjia Village had them.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, this is the cloth for you. It is the fashionable color and material in Shanghai. It is the only one in Lanjia Village."

Lan Ersao and Lan Sansao, who were watching the show, didn't expect that they would get a share of the gift. When they heard that it was a fashionable color that was not available in the whole village, they were overjoyed.

Sister-in-law Lan touched the fabric and immediately said with a smile, "My sister-in-law is thoughtful. This fabric is really beautiful."
