Zhao Yong seemed to still remember that his mother was young and beautiful. Her age should be about the same as his mother-in-law, but why did his sister call her grandma?
Jiang Baige didn't ask Grandma Meng's exact age, she just called her Grandma based on her appearance.
Because Chen Jianguo and his sister also called Grandma Meng "Grandma", she thought so.
Zhao Yong asked, "Sister, tell me in detail what's going on with the Meng family and who else is in the family?"
Jiang Baige told them everything she knew and what she heard from Grandma Meng herself, from beginning to end.
I heard that a child was missing from her family, so this all fits the bill.
Zhao Yong was a little anxious and wanted desperately to meet Grandma Meng that the girl mentioned.
"Sister, can you take me there to check it out? I want to confirm it."
Jiang Baige also had selfish thoughts in her heart. She secretly thought that if Zhao Yong was really the child that Grandma Meng had lost, then Grandma Meng would have no regrets for the rest of her life.
Nodding, "Then come with me now. She is staying in the guesthouse in the county town. I brought her here today and plan to take her back to my hometown with me."
She didn't dare tell Grandma Meng that she was blind. If she told him first, what if Zhao Yong didn't go?
Whether there is hope or not, she will try.
Zhao Yong said excitedly: "Let's go!"
He spoke to the people in the room again, trying to get their consent.
"Dad, big brother, wife, I..."
He was so excited that he didn't know how to express it. No matter what, he wanted to go and see it.
In his memory, the vague shadow of his mother kept repeating in his mind.
If he doesn't confirm it, he will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.
Father Guo said, "Go! I hope there will be good news."
Guo Xiaofang also gave her man an appraising look. If her man found a home, she would be happy for him.
Brother Guo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and go! What are you hesitating about?"
After listening to what Jiang Baige said just now, he felt that it must be true, so they didn't need to think about it carefully, they would know when they went there.
Jiang Baige and Zhao Yong came to Xu's house to get her bicycle.
The door was ajar. Seeing that no one was there, Jiang Bai pushed the door open.
Grandma Xu was waiting for her to come back and push her bike, so she didn't close the door and sat under the eaves waiting for her to come back.
Seeing the little girl coming back, Grandma Xu walked over and saw that Guo's son-in-law was also there. She didn't say much, but just asked Jiang Baige to drive slower.
Jiang Baige didn't know if she could come tonight. After thinking for a while, she said to her, "Grandma Xu, go and get some rest! You don't have to wait for me."
"If I don't come tonight, I will come over tomorrow during the day."
Grandma Xu agreed, "Hey, drive slowly on the road."
After Jiang Baige pushed the bicycle and left Xu's house, Zhao Yong took over the bicycle.
"Girl, come ride me, you sit in the back and I'll lead you."
Jiang Baige didn't hesitate and let him ride the bicycle.
After leaving the village, Zhao Yongcai asked.
"How do you know the Xu family?"
Jiang Baige thought for a moment before answering, "I once returned to the county town and ran into Xu Jie, who was being chased by people wearing red armbands. I felt sorry for him, so I helped him get rid of the red armbands. Later, we ran into each other again, and that's how we got to know each other!"
After hearing her story, Zhao Yong didn't ask any more questions.
The moon tonight is so round and bright that it can even cast shadows on the ground. Zhao Yong must be very familiar with this road, so they walked well even without a flashlight and completely avoided the bumpy road surface.
The two people arrived at the guesthouse, and another young female comrade had been replaced that night.
They also knew each other, but they were not as familiar with the older sister during the day.
Jiang Baige said, "Comrade, this is my relative in the county town. He heard that we were in the county town, so he came to visit our old lady."
The female comrade looked at them and responded.
"Go ahead! But don't stay too long. When the time comes, someone will come to check your ID. Without a letter of introduction, you won't be able to explain yourself clearly."
Jiang Baige gave her a grateful smile: "Thank you!"
Zhao Yong also nodded to her to express his gratitude.
The closer he got, the more nervous he became, and now he couldn't even speak.
After Jiang Baige went upstairs, she knocked on the door.
Someone inside asked, “Who is it?”
Jiang Baige replied, "Grandma Meng, I'm back. Open the door."
There was a rustling sound inside, and Grandma Meng quickly opened the door.
After opening the door, he groped his way back to the bed.
As we walked, he asked, "Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry? What time is it now?"
Jiang Baige made a shushing gesture to Zhao Yong before replying, "It's still early! It's just getting dark."
There was only an oil lamp in the corridor, and the light was a little dim.
Zhao Yong saw the door open, but couldn't see the face of the person in the room clearly. He waited blankly for the girl to go in first.
There was no oil lamp in the room. Jiang Baige took out a lighter and went in to light the oil lamp. The room was instantly bright.
Zhao Yong saw a short and thin old lady walking slowly towards the bed, feeling the wall.
He quickly took a few steps forward and helped her sit down.
He didn't know what was wrong, but he felt that her eyesight was not good, so he subconsciously went forward to help her.
Jiang Baige saw what Zhao Yong did, but didn't say anything. She took the bag off her shoulder and threw it on the bed.
Grandma Meng smiled and said, "What's wrong with you today? I'm very familiar with this place, I don't need your help."
After Grandma Meng sat down, Zhao Yong stood quietly by and looked carefully at the old lady in front of him.
His heart was now in turmoil as he looked at her eyebrows, the contours of her face, and the expression on her face when she smiled.
He was recalling what his mother looked like when she was young, and the two months' appearance instantly overlapped, except that his mother seemed to have aged a lot, with obvious wrinkles and age spots on her face.
Seeing that Zhao Yong’s face turned pale, Jiang Baige quickly asked him to calm down and sit down first.
They had discussed it on the way. After they arrived, Zhao Yong would not say anything. Jiang Baige would first ask Grandma Meng about her son. If everything matched, Zhao Yong would recognize his mother. If it did not match Zhao Yong's memory, Zhao Yong would be allowed to leave quietly and what happened today would be treated as if it had never happened.
If there is no hope, it is better not to let her know, so as to avoid her being disappointed and then feeling sad when she recalls the past.
After Jiang Baige closed the door, she sat down next to Grandma Meng.
He took out the silver lock from the pocket on the bed and started questioning.
This silver lock is solid, and when the bells on it collide with each other, they make a muffled sound.
When Grandma Meng heard the sound, she knew it was her own silver lock.
Asked: "Girl, why did you take this out?"
Jiang Baige then asked, "Grandma Meng, I see this silver lock is different from others. There are words on it. Can you tell me about its origin?"
Grandma Meng opened her eyes and looked ahead. Because she couldn't see, she didn't know there was another living person in front of her.
