In later life, she watched many Hong Kong movies of this period, in which various forces were mixed together, gangs were rampant, and there was almost no social order.
Seeing his niece's face almost turning green with shock, Master Wu quickly added, "Don't worry, your third uncle has some connections over there! Plus, he's so scheming, he won't suffer any loss!"
Lan Guoer: Can she be at ease...
As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Tang's mother and old man came to Kyoto with lots of bags!
After his three little grandsons were born, Old Man Tang had never seen them and was thinking about them all the way.
"Dad, Mom! Why didn't you say hello again? And you brought so many things." Lan Guoer looked at the two elders sweating profusely in the cold weather, and couldn't help feeling distressed.
When Xiaobai heard the familiar voice, he also rushed out of the room, sniffing this and that, and circling around the two old men.
Tang's mother squatted down and smoothed its fur, then stood up and took the towel from Lan Guo'er's hand. "This is much easier than farm work! Your mother and father are very strong, so what's this little thing to you?"
Old Man Tang also echoed from the side, "Your mother is right!"
The first time he came to this yard, Old Man Tang felt a little uncomfortable. He was dazzled by what he saw. He really couldn't believe that this would be his home from now on!
When Old Lady Lan and Qinghe heard the noise, they pushed the three little ones into the main room.
Tang's mother trotted over and said, "Oh, my dear, these three little guys have been taking care of you and Qinghe for a long time since I left!"
Tang's mother was talking to Old Lady Lan and Qinghe, but her eyes never left the three fat babies in the crib.
When he got there, he couldn't wait to hold Xiao Nuan in his arms.
Xiao Nuan kept her eyes on Tang's mother, and soon she grinned. She remembered her grandmother.
"The children are very well-behaved and not tiring!" Old Lady Lan saw Old Man Tang and saw him stretching his neck and looking towards the crib, his eyes full of anticipation.
Old Lady Lan had heard from Tang's mother that Old Man Tang had returned to his hometown before the child was born, and he had not even seen the child since he was born!
Seeing him like this now, Old Lady Lan knew that he was very rare!
"This is Tang's relative, right? Come and see your three fat grandchildren. They haven't seen their grandfather yet."
Old man Tang smiled innocently and nodded, not forgetting to wipe his hands with a towel before moving forward.
He kept listening to Tang's mother ramble on about how adorable and well-behaved these three children were! It was so intense that his dreams were filled with three fat, identically sized little balls. They rolled, crawled, and laughed in front of him, making him itch with desire, wishing he could hold them right there and then.
When the three little guys saw the stranger suddenly appear in the room, they were quiet for a moment, and then they started babbling.
The three older grandchildren really weren't shy with him at all! Old Man Tang was so happy with them that he teased one, hugged another, and smiled from ear to ear.
"These kids are really well taken care of! Thank you for your great care, grandma!"
With more people at home, Mrs. Lan was happy and smiled non-stop, "They are all my grandchildren, so it's only right that I spend some time with them!"
"Yes, my in-laws are right!"
Old man Tang held Xiao Ling in his arms with a silly smile on his face. He was reluctant to let go of his chubby grandson.
Only when the children were tired from playing and fell into a deep sleep did Old Man Tang put them down dejectedly.
After lunch, Old Man Tang walked around the yard. After several moments of shock, he finally forced himself to accept the fact that this yard belonged to his eldest son.
"Guo'er, the weather is about to get warmer, and I think the flowers and plants in the yard need some pruning. There's still a lot of land left. Do you want to plant anything?"
Old Man Tang is used to dealing with farmland, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees some land not being cultivated!
"Dad, you can plant whatever you want! You can plant flowers or vegetables! I'm just worried that no one will take care of this garden!"
"There's nothing to worry about! Dad is good at these pruning jobs! He can finish it in a couple of days! Then we can clean up the vacant land and plant vegetables and flowers."
"Okay, I'll leave this yard to Dad! I'll make the decision."
Not long ago, Lan Guoer was thinking that she should hire a gardener to help clean up the garden. Now that Old Man Tang has come, she can finally worry less.
Old Man Tang took on the task, and walked back to the backyard with his hands behind his back! The yard was so big that he had to walk around it several times before he could get a feel for the terrain.
Mother Tang glanced at Old Man Tang's back and said to Lan Guo'er with a smile, "You've figured out your father's temper! If he were left alone, he'd be so worried and anxious every day!"
Lan Guoer also looked at Old Man Tang's back. She knew very well that the two elders were willing to leave their hometown and come here mainly to help her take care of the children.
Although this place is the capital that everyone longs for, it is unfamiliar to the two elders! There are no familiar mountains, no warm folks, and no land for which they have dedicated their lives.
As the old saying goes, it is hard to leave a poor home! A house of gold or silver is not as good as your own thatched house.
Seeing that Old Man Tang had his own goal, Lan Guoer's heart finally calmed down a little.

Zhao Bing hadn't found an excuse to see Lan Guoer for several days, and was feeling depressed when he heard a knock on the door.
He didn't bother to pay attention and shouted towards the kitchen boredly, "Mom, someone's knocking on the door!"
Zhang Lan was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the shouting, she came out and glanced at her eldest son who was curled up on the sofa. "You knew someone was knocking on the door, but you didn't open it?"
Zhang Lan muttered to herself and went to open the door.
"Hey! Yuzhen!"
"Sister-in-law!" Wang Qin greeted with a smile on her face. "Today is Sunday, I guessed you were at home! So you came straight to my house."
Zhang Lan was a little surprised that her sister-in-law would come over, so she invited her in. "Why are you free today? Is Dad okay?"
"Dad is fine! You know what, the plaster that the Su family's granddaughter gave me is a bit expensive, but it really works! I think in two days, Dad will be able to walk again."
Zhang Lan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. "It's worth the price! The old man is in good health now! Our whole family can benefit from his good health for a few more years."
Zhang Lan knew that her sister-in-law was short-sighted and was afraid that she would save money on the old man. She knew very well that the Zhao brothers were able to have their current jobs because of the old man's connections.
Otherwise, with Zhao Yongjun's primary school diploma, he could become the deputy director of a machinery factory.
Although her husband has a high school education, he can't do anything even with a few sticks. How can he become the director of a textile factory?
With the old man around, she is highly respected in the workplace. She is also counting on the old man to help the next generation!
