Chapter 257: Take a Family Portrait
The granddaughter came back, and the rice harvest was almost done. Grandpa Jiang decided to go to Beijing to take a look at all the sights he should see, so that he would have no regrets when he returned.
"You haven't gone yet?"
"Everyone is waiting for you, sister!"
Jiang Jin said, "Grandpa wants to take a family photo, and take photos of the family outing."
"Go, go, go!"
Jiang Yu agreed and asked Assistant Qin to book a plane ticket for her.
Grandpa Jiang wants to take the train and then take the plane when he comes back.
Not only Qin Yan and Zheng Xiu went with them, but Old Lady Qin also went. The capital was her territory, and she had to fulfill her duties as a host.
This was the first time for Grandpa Jiang and his three generations to experience train riding, as the whole family wanted to travel together.
"Ayu."
The group was eating in the dining car. Two people sat opposite them, Lan Jun and Lan Wei.
"Ayu, where is our cousin? He left a note saying he was going to look for memories with you."
Little cousin? Lan Yihua?
Old Lady Qin looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu scratched his head. "Well, I sold him. He has no memory anyway, so it's easy to sell him."
In Lan Yihua's dream, many important figures were in the capital, and they were taken to the capital by the Niu family together with Sheng Meizhuo.
"Hehehe."
Lan Wei laughed, "Ayu, you are so humorous, but it doesn't matter, your uncle is your father, you can sell it however you want.
We all have no objection, and grandpa and great-grandpa certainly have no objection either.
Are you going to the capital for a trip this time? Let's go together!"
"do not want!"
Jiang Yu refused, "I..."
Jiang Nian held his daughter's arm, interrupted her, took out a pen and paper, and said, "Okay, let's go together."
The result of Jiang Nian's agreement was that he was picked up by a group of Lan family members, including Lan's great-grandfather and his three brothers.
"Ayu."
A handsome young man ran up to Jiang Yu and said, "I am your younger cousin Lan Xun. I am one year older than you. This time I am finally not the youngest."
Jiang Yu took a step back, raised his head slightly and looked at Lan Xun, "What are you all going to do?"
"Take a family photo!"
Lan Xun put his arm around Jiang Yu's shoulders and said, "You can take a family photo with Grandpa Jiang and the others, and you can also take a family photo with us. It won't take up too much of your time.
We will prepare in advance. After you finish taking the photo with the Jiang family, just stand next to us for two seconds."
Jiang Yu's gaze shifted from his shoulder to Grandpa Lan, "Lan Yihua is not here."
"Him? It doesn't matter."
Grandpa Lan waved his hand nonchalantly, "He lost you for sixteen years. I'm already doing you a favor by not punishing him."
Jiang Yu: "..."
【Can. 】
Jiang Nian's notebook appeared in front of Jiang Yu and Lan Xun.
"Dad~" Jiang Yu didn't understand why her father always wanted her to be close to the Lan family.
Jiang Nian continued to write, "Dad hopes that more people will love you. The Lan family treats you sincerely. If it is false, Dad will not agree."
"Thank you, Father Jiang."
Lan Xun smiled and thanked Jiang Nian, "Ayu is the only girl in our Lan family for seven generations. We feel that she is like holding her in our hands for fear of dropping her, and holding her in our mouths for fear of melting her.
When my great grandfather and his two brothers heard that you wanted to take a family photo, they immediately called the entire clan to come to China to take the photo. We really love and pamper A-Yu. "
[I am very ashamed. I did not teach Xiaoyu well, which made her feel resentful.]
"No, no, no."
Lan Xun shook his head repeatedly, "Ayu is very good like this. We all like sisters with personality. We are most afraid of spoiled girls."
Jiang Nian was relieved and put the notebook in front of his daughter.
[Your family is on both sides, isn't that good? Your grandfather also knows about this, and he agrees.
During this time, he had a pleasant conversation with Lan Jun, learned a lot about the Lan family, and had a good impression of them. 】
Jiang Yu pressed the notebook in front of him and said, "Dad, I only agree to get in touch with them slowly and get along like friends. If our values are not in line with mine, I will not put myself in a difficult position." Jiang Nian nodded.
"yeah!"
Lan Xun made a scissors gesture with joy, "I have a sister, I have a sister."
Jiang Yu: "..."
Did she say she was going to return to the Lan family?
……
The Lan family really kept their promise. As long as the Jiang family stopped to take pictures, they would form a formation on the side. Jiang Yu only had to squat in front of Grandpa Lan and his three brothers for a few seconds, and it would not delay the Jiang family's schedule at all.
Grandpa Jiang felt embarrassed and pulled his granddaughter to the three brothers of Grandpa Lan, "Xiao Yu, call someone."
Jiang Yu: "..."
"Great grandfather, second great grandfather, great grandfather."
"Eh!"
"Eh!"
"Eh!"
Three elderly people in their eighties responded with tears in their eyes to this greeting that came more than ten years late.
The rest of the trip was more harmonious, with the Jiang family and the Lan family taking photos together. Jiang Yu was often pulled over by Lanxun to take photos with the fourth generation of young people.
Jiang Yu: "..."
Didn’t you promise not to take up too much of her time?
……
It took more than a month to visit all the attractions in Beijing.
None of the Lan family members left, and whenever there was something to do, they would pass on the information via transatlantic phone calls.
At the end of the trip, Old Lady Qin invited Grandpa Jiang to visit the Qin family, and the Lan family prepared to return to Xingdao.
Before leaving, he gave Jiang Yu the keys and property deeds of the courtyard houses where they lived.
"You are the only one in the country, so I'll leave it to you to manage."
"I do not have time."
Jiang Yu didn't answer, "It's a far cry from where I am."
"Don't you have me? I'm your assistant!"
Qin Yan ran to Jiang Yu and raised her arm to receive it. "I can arrange for someone to manage the cleaning, so that you will have a place to stay when you come to the capital in the future."
"I do not want!"
Jiang Yu shook off her hand and said, "I don't like big houses. They are empty. I am just staying here temporarily and I don't have any emotional attachment."
Qin Yan: "..."
The boss doesn’t want it, can she take it?
"I like it!"
Zheng Xiu also came over to persuade him, "If you don't like it, just give me one. A courtyard house! It's my ultimate dream in this life!"
"Sister Xiu really wants it?"
Zheng Xiu nodded vigorously.
Jiang Yu took the property certificate and key and placed them in front of Zheng Xiu, "Sister Xiu, choose one."
Zheng Xiu's face flushed with joy, and she rubbed her hands together, "I want to be your neighbor."
Among several courtyard houses, only two are adjacent to each other.
After Jiang Yu selected these two, he planned to return the rest to the Lan family.
"Ayu, Ayu, and me, I want it too."
Qin Yan didn't care about her face. Since Sister Xiu wanted it, she mustered up the courage to give it a try.
"Then you pick the smallest seat, and then you won't be paid for three years."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Qin Yan was so happy that she would not be paid for thirty years, let alone three years.
After Qin Yan made her choice, Jiang Yu wanted to return the rest to the Lan family, but was stopped by his father.
[Since you have already accepted it, just accept it. It would be inappropriate to return it. ]
Jiang Yu thought about it and it was true. It didn't matter if he took on one or all of them.
"Assistant Qin, didn't you say you could arrange for someone to take care of the cleaning? I'll leave it all to you."
The Lan family looked at Jiang Nian with gratitude. Ayu’s adoptive father was really good, so it was no wonder that Ayu didn’t want to recognize the Lan family.
The main group of the Lan family left, leaving Lan Jun to accompany Jiang Yu to the Qin family.
