Qing He calmed down for a while and continued, "You should have guessed the ending without me telling you.
When the Third Master woke up, the Lan family was already a river of blood.
Only the old lady managed to escape because she was blind.
From then on, the Third Master held a grudge against the Fifth Master.
He was filled with anger and hatred, unable to forgive the mistakes made by Wu Ye. He felt that he had to make Wu Ye pay the price in order to calm his anger.
Therefore, every time he saw Master Wu, he would attack and insult him mercilessly to vent his anger and dissatisfaction.
Most of the time, Master Wu endured all of this silently. He knew that he was in the wrong and did not think of resisting Master San's brutality.
It was only after the old lady’s repeated persuasion that the matter gradually calmed down!
Afterwards, the Third Master rarely returned to the Lan family, and soon after, he found some connections and left the country."
Lan Guoer remained silent and did not make any judgment. What could she say?
Is Uncle Wu sorry to Grandpa and his uncles?
No, when my grandfather asked my third uncle and fifth uncle to hide the person, he had probably already made the decision.
They had plenty of opportunities to hand the person over, but they never said a word until their death.
Uncle Wu wanted his family to live, so what was wrong with that? Humans are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless?
What was wrong was that era, those devils, and the fact that they were not strong enough at that time...
"My third uncle called a few days ago and said he would be coming over tonight. We should prepare some extra things so that we can all have fun together."
Lan Guoer turned her attention to the ingredients and discussed the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner with Qinghe.
In the afternoon, the whole capital city became bustling with the strong festive atmosphere of the New Year filling the streets and alleys.
People laughed and chatted, greeting each other.
The children in the alley were wearing new clothes, holding candied haws or sugar figures in their hands, running around, playing, with happy smiles on their faces.
Tang Zhan hung the big red lanterns high up, and Lan Guoer and Qinghe also started to post up Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.
As night falls, the lights come on and the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.
Two cars stopped at the gate of Jinyuan, one in front and one behind.
The third master got out of the car in front, carrying a suitcase in his hand.
He glanced at the car behind him, saw the people in it clearly, shook his sleeves angrily, and walked inside.
Master Wu naturally also saw Master San.
He got out of the car, looked at the figure in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and walked inside.
The aroma of the New Year's Eve dinner wafted out from inside, accompanied by the giggling of three little kids.
The Third Master couldn't help but feel happy. "Xiao Guo'er, come and see, what did Third Uncle bring back for you and the baby?"
Hearing the call, Tang Zhan was the first to come out. This was his first time meeting the Third Master.
"You are my third uncle, right? It's cold outside, come inside and sit down."
"You are the man chosen by my little Guo'er, right?" The Third Master looked him up and down, "He's barely acceptable!"
The Third Master looked cold and stern on the surface, but in his heart he had a little more appreciation for the man in front of him!
The boy in front of me has a handsome face, an upright figure, and the aura he exudes in every move shows his masculinity and strength.
He was secretly satisfied. Although his little Guoer got married a little early, the man she married was pretty good and gave him three lovely grandchildren.
The two walked into the main room, where Old Lady Lan, Lan Guoer, and Qinghe were sitting together, happily teasing the three little ones.
These three little guys are now more than four months old. Their round little bodies and chubby little faces make people want to pinch them.
At this time, Xiao Lie was waving his chubby little hands, trying to snatch the toy from Mrs. Lan's hands.
Xiao Ling blinked her bright eyes and looked at them curiously, while Xiao Nuan grinned and giggled.
The three children seemed to sense that today was different and were extremely excited.
When they saw someone walk in, they all turned their heads towards the door, their shining eyes full of curiosity.
The Third Master looked at Old Madam Lan and called out softly, "Godmother!"
"Third brother is here? Come and sit here." Old Lady Lan greeted with a smile.
The Third Master sat down next to the old lady and said, "I'm so happy to know that Guo'er cured your eyes!"
Mrs. Lan held his hand and said meaningfully, "I'm happy to see that you are all well."
The Third Master naturally understood what the old lady meant. "Don't worry, Godmother. Today is a good day for reunion. I won't hold it against him."
Old Lady Lan nodded.
The third child has been with her since he was a child, and she knows his temperament best.
She also knew that if it weren't for the incident in the Lan family, there wouldn't be the estrangement between him and Lao Wu today.
She hoped from the bottom of her heart that the two of them could let go of the past and stop clinging to facts that could no longer be changed.
Life is short! Dwelling on the past will only keep both of you trapped in pain, unable to extricate yourself.
The floor heating in the room was very hot. As soon as the Third Master took off his coat and scarf, the Fifth Master walked in as if he knew the place well.
Lan Guoer noticed the awkwardness in their eyes, clapped her hands, and said to Qinghe, "Now that both uncles are here, it's time to serve our New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Okay, I'll bring the dishes right away." Qinghe said and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Tang Zhan had already brought over a basin of water with a wink, "Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, wash your hands! Dinner will be served soon."
The Third Master glanced at the Fifth Master, walked forward first, and put his hand into the basin.
Master Wu took off his coat, took a towel, and then slowly walked over. "This is for you, it's new!"
Mr. Wu has been coming to Jinyuan more frequently recently. Lan Guoer specially prepared toiletries for him, but he has never used them.
The Third Master didn't bother to be polite. He took it and wiped his hands. "Don't think I'll forgive you just like that! As Xiao Guo'er's uncle, I can certainly use Xiao Guo'er's towel!"
Master Wu ignored him and walked to the basin. He put his hand in the remaining water from Master San's washing without any disgust.
Scenes from his childhood emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but be distracted!
"Uncle Wu, dinner is ready!"
Lan Guoer's cry brought him back to reality.
When the meal was served, Mrs. Lan pushed the little ones' cribs to the table, and the whole family sat around it.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous.
There are braised carp, braised pork, crispy chicken, glutinous rice spare ribs... and so on, and each dish is cooked by Lan Guoer according to the chef's family recipe.
Master Wu glanced at the table and said with certainty, "It's obvious at first glance that this dish is not Qinghe's work."
"Mr. Wu has good taste! Today's dishes were all cooked by Guoer herself, and I even learned a few tricks from her!" Qinghe said proudly.
Master Wu looked at Lan Guoer with admiration, "I didn't expect that you, a girl, can cook so well. I think after the New Year, I might as well move here and live with you guys!"
