While the old lady was still wondering, Old Xu had already returned. Looking at the pile of clothes on the bed, he said, "Mom, I've tidied everything up. Don't bother anymore, go and get some rest!"
"You call that packing? It's going to start snowing in X province soon. With all the clothes you brought, do you want to freeze like a dog?"
Upon hearing the old lady's words, Old Xu's face changed repeatedly, finally looking as if he was about to cry in front of his own mother.
"Mom, can't you be a little nicer to your son?"
"Dream on!" the old lady retorted rudely, then turned back to continue tidying up the thick clothes on the bed.
Old Xu naturally noticed the photo placed to the side: "Huh, I thought this photo was missing."
Then, she picked up the photo and looked at it. When she saw her obviously young self in the photo, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
"Hiss, I really do look a lot older!" she murmured softly.
But the old lady heard him clearly: "Your cousins who are about the same age as you, the older ones are already in kindergarten, but you, you still don't even have a boyfriend. Keep acting like this. Wait a few more years and see if any girl is willing to marry you. If not, you're destined to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
The old lady's mouth is really sharp; she even dared to lay a hand on her own son!
Old Xu was utterly despondent: "Mom, are you hoping your son will stay single forever?"
"Tch, didn't you bring this on yourself? What does it have to do with me? By the way, how long have you known your regimental commander?" he asked.
The sudden change of topic left Old Xu somewhat bewildered by his mother's thoughts: "It's been over ten years, hasn't it? What's wrong?"
The old woman took the black-and-white photograph from her son's hand, covered the other two people in the photo with her hand, leaving only the corner of the photo showing Commander Gao:
"Take a look, does it look familiar?"
Xu Yuezhang glanced at him suspiciously, then pouted, "Of course I'm familiar with him. How could I not be familiar with the commander?"
What's wrong with this old lady today? She seems to be having a fit.
Thankfully, the old lady was unaware that her son suspected she was having a fit of madness, otherwise...
"Son, it's me. Don't you think your regimental commander's appearance when he was young looks familiar?"
This is not an illusion. If it were an illusion, it would only last for a moment. But ever since this thought came to mind, my doubts have become more and more serious!
Hearing his mother say this, Old Xu took another serious look, and this time, it did seem to make sense: "It does feel somewhat familiar!"
The old lady nodded vigorously: "I knew it! My feeling couldn't be wrong! Why is that? Let me think, let me think..."
Seeing that his mother was deep in thought, Lao Xu took the initiative to pack the thick clothes that the old lady had packed into a bag, and then took out some thin clothes that had already been packed in the box!
Just then, the old lady excitedly slapped her own leg!
"Ah, I know, I remember now, you brat, come quick, don't your commander's eyes look a lot like the girl in that photo the old man hid?"
The Xu family has a taboo that everyone in the family knows!
The old lady found out about this by secretly seeing it when she was tidying up the old man's study. As the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Xu family, Old Xu often stayed in the old man's study. As for the photos that the old man had secretly hidden, he must have looked at them countless times!
