Old Master Gong said with some regret: "It's just that we didn't know where her family was at the time. If we knew, we could just go there to find her."
Gong Nanjiang felt a little dissatisfied when he heard them praising other girls.
"Our Ruirui is good at studying medicine. Why don't we let Ruirui come back to treat Dad?"
Gong Yan said: "When Grandpa got sick in the car, Xiao Rui was unable to save him. Fortunately, that female comrade came out and Grandpa was safe. Xiao Rui may need some experience."
Gong Nanjiang's face immediately fell, and he expressed his dissatisfaction with Gong Yan's words.
Old Master Gong smiled and said, "Alright, alright. Finally, I am safe again this time. I will live one day at a time. I am happy if I can live one more day. When can you go to see Xiao Rui? I can still go with you."
"Let's wait until grandpa recovers a little bit before going."
"Okay, let's go for a walk outside and breathe some fresh air. It might be good for my health."
"yes."
Willow Brigade
Yu Jingjing returned home and after dinner, she took out some food and vegetables from the space and put them into an opaque bag. It was already completely dark, so she went out to the cowshed.
In the cowshed, 늌 took the things out of the space and knocked on the door.
The girl inside was like a frightened bird. When she heard the girl coming, she was scared and shrank directly into her sister's arms.
Mu Zining listened to the gentle knock on the door and asked, "If it was that gang, would they be so polite?"
"But if it wasn't that gang, who would come to our side?" Old Man Mu raised his doubts.
There was another knock on the door. "I'll go see who's here." Old Mrs. Mu stood up and walked directly to the door and opened it. But when she saw the person coming from behind, her eyes lit up: "Mom, it's you. Mom is here."
He quickly pulled Yu Jingjing in. Yu Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then followed Mrs. Mu in.
"Let me introduce you, this is my mother." Old Mrs. Mu said, pulling Yu Jingjing.
"Grandma, I'm not your mother."
Mu Zining went out to check and saw that it was Yu Jingjing. She was a little surprised: "Comrade, it's you."
"I came to see you."
Yu Jingjing handed the food and vegetables in the bag to Mu Zining: "I didn't dare to bring too much, this will be enough for you to eat for a few meals."
Mu Zining felt very embarrassed, and Yu Jingjing said, "Everyone is in trouble. This little food is nothing to me, but it is very helpful to you."
She handed it to Mu Zining again, and Mu Zining took it, "Thank you so much."
They entered the house together, and under the dim oil lamp, Yu Jingjing saw Old Man Mu. At that moment, she thought that Old Man Mu looked a lot like her mother. Although Old Man Mu was old, his facial contours and facial features were still very similar to her mother's.
At this time, Old Man Mu was also looking at her intently, as if he could find the shadow of his daughter in the face of the little girl in front of him.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Old Lady Mu pulled Yu Jingjing and said, "Look at what an old man is doing. What is he looking at?"
Yu Jingjing looked at Mu Dongdong again. The little guy's face was full of collagen. No wonder she felt that this little guy was familiar before. It turned out that he looked similar to Old Man Mu, and also to her mother.
So will they be the descendants of their own ancestors?
Just when she was about to ask, Old Man Mu came back to his senses and said to Jingjing apologetically, "Little girl, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been looking at you like that. It's because I think you look a lot like my daughter."
He then tremblingly took out a clip from under the mattress, and carefully took out a photo from the clip, showing it to Yu Jingjing: "Little girl, take a look, don't you look a lot like her?"
Yu Jingjing took the photo. It was a black and white photo that looked quite old. The photo showed a pretty little girl who was only two or three years old with a small bun on her hair. The girl had a round, chubby face, big eyes, and two obvious dimples when she smiled. Both her mother and she had dimples on their faces.
Could it be that the person in front of her was really the relative her mother had lost for many years, and also her relative.
Old Madam Mu was also looking at the photo, but she snatched it away and held it tightly in her arms.
"Lanlan, this is my Lanlan, my daughter." As the old lady spoke, her eyes became moist and she burst into tears.
Old Man Mu was no longer surprised and reminded her: "You can cry as much as you want, but don't get the photo wet. This is the only one left. If it gets wet, you won't be able to see Lanlan."
Old Mrs. Mu quickly put the photo away like a treasure and handed it to Old Man Mu. "You should keep it. I'm afraid Lanlan will get it wet."
Old Man Mu asked Yu Jingjing: "Girl, do you want to watch more?"
Yu Jingjing sat down and said, "Grandpa, I won't look at it anymore. I see that you and grandma treasure this photo very much. Is your daughter no longer with you? I mean, she is neither here nor in your hometown."
"No." Old Man Mu shook his head, his eyes filled with sadness and confusion. "She has been gone for a long time. This photo was taken on her second birthday. Not long after her birthday, she went missing and has never been found again."
Old Man Mu shed tears and wiped them away.
Yu Jingjing seemed to be certain that the daughter the old couple had lost was her mother.
"Grandpa, can you tell me more about how long your daughter has been missing? It just so happens that my mother also got lost when she was a child, and we still haven't been able to find her home."
“Ah!” Old Man Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up: “You, you said your mother also got lost when she was a child?”
"Yes, she didn't remember anything when she got lost. She seemed to be about two or three years old."
Old Man Mu's lips trembled, and he looked at Yu Jingjing with agitation, "My daughter went missing more than 30 years ago, which means it's been 36 years now."
"Thirty-eight years?" Yu Jingjing calculated her mother's age. The daughter of the Mu family who was lost many years ago should be her mother. "My mother lost her life when she was a child, so she doesn't remember how old she is. But she is about this old. According to the age she set, she is exactly thirty-eight this year."
"Really." The old man became even more excited, and couldn't help but grab Yu Jingjing's hand: "My daughter, do you think your mother is our daughter? They are the same age, and you look like my daughter. You should be our granddaughter."
Yu Jingjing thought so too, but there was one more condition that could make this relationship clearer.
"When my mother was lost as a child, she was carrying a handkerchief with her. Does anyone remember the pattern on it?"
"It's a phoenix spreading its wings and flying." Old Lady Mu over there said, "The phoenix spreads its wings and soars into the sky. My daughter will definitely be a dragon and a phoenix. She will definitely become an outstanding person." Her expression was extremely serious, and every word she uttered was very clear.
Old Man Mu also nodded: "Yes, yes, that was embroidered by me personally. On the day Lanlan got lost, she was still playing with that handkerchief."
Yu Jingjing was completely certain that the two old people in front of her were her parents-in-law. She had finally found the relatives her mother had been looking for for so long, but unfortunately, her mother would never see them again.
"So, you are really my parents-in-law. My mother did have a handkerchief like that, but unfortunately I accidentally lost it. If you think I don't have a keepsake, it's okay if you don't recognize me..."
"Child." She was interrupted by Old Man Mu: "My husband absolutely believes in you. We have fallen to this point, and you are still willing to recognize us. Why should we doubt you? I never thought that we could find our daughter and see our granddaughter in our lifetime."
Yu Jingjing wanted to tell them the whereabouts of her mother, but Old Man Mu called Old Lady Mu, "Old woman, come quickly, this is our granddaughter, Lanlan's biological daughter. Your madness should be curable this time. You can see your granddaughter now, and you will see Lanlan later, and you will definitely get better."
"Lanlan's daughter?!" Mrs. Mu was sometimes crazy and sometimes sober. At this moment, no one knew whether she was crazy or sober. She stumbled towards Yu Jingjing and hugged her: "Lanlan, my daughter, mom finally found you."
"Old lady, this is not Lanlan, it's..." Yu Jingjing used her eyes to control him. Old lady Mu thought she had found her biological daughter, so she hugged Yu Jingjing and cried non-stop: "Lanlan, you are finally back, mommy almost missed you to death."
Yu Jingjing gently patted her back and comforted her: "Mom, I'm back, don't worry."
"Lanlan, let mom take a good look at you."
She sat down and looked at Yu Jingjing quietly: "You have grown into a big girl now. Have you missed your mother in these years?"
"Yes, of course I do."
After a while of nagging at her daughter, Old Lady Mu finally fell asleep on Yu Jingjing's lap.
