Chapter 212 Grandma's Life Experience

"Sister Zhang, didn't you see someone similar to Yumo in a photo?" Lin Zhimo asked when he saw Zhang Yuan's reaction.

"Yes, it's a photo, a black and white photo!" Zhang Yuan said excitedly: "I said why I remember so clearly? It's a black and white photo from my husband's house."

Lin Zhimo seemed quite excited when he saw Zhang Yuan, and he felt a little puzzled: "Sister Zhang, why are you like this? Well..."

Lin Zhimo didn't know how to describe Zhang Yuan's feeling for a moment, and seemed to be overly excited. Even if Lin Yumo looked similar to the person in a photo, there was no need to be so excited.

Zhang Yuan understood what Lin Zhimo meant, but smiled indifferently: "Zhimo, are you talking about why I am so excited? Because that photo is my father's..." Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped here, and her eyes swept to Zeng Yujing, who was on the side, suddenly became a little surprised, as if she had thought of something unbelievable.

Lin Zhimo couldn't help but frown when he saw Zhang Yuan's expression. He mistakenly thought that Zhang Yuan wanted Zeng Yujing to avoid it.

Zeng Yujing and Lin Yumo didn't think so much. Zeng Yujing was just a little puzzled by Zhang Yuan's sudden look at him. Lin Yumo asked directly: "Sister Zhang, why are you watching my grandma like this?"

"Ah? Oh, nothing..."

Zhang Yuan also reported it and covered up a few words, looking a little embarrassed.

However, Lin Zhimo still heard Zhang Yuan muttering: "It really looks like."

"It's really like?"

Lin Zhimo couldn't help but look at his grandmother. According to Zeng Yujing, Lin Yumo's appearance was very similar to her when she was young, but because there was no photo, it was impossible to verify it.

"Could Zhang Yuan say that Yumo and grandma are similar?" Lin Zhimo thought to himself.

Zhang Yuan's expression kept changing. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, you... are you from the capital, too?"

Zeng Yujing's face changed as soon as she heard this, and her smile gradually faded away, and she said lightly: "No."

Lin Zhimo felt a little moved when he saw Zeng Yujing's change. He suddenly remembered that his grandfather's accent seemed to be different from the accent of his hometown. When he was a child, he just thought that his family had moved there from another place. After all, there were too many local languages ​​in China, and the pronunciation of the same word in another village would be different. There was nothing strange.

But now Lin Zhimo discovered a strange thing. That is, Zeng Yujing's accent seems to be different from his grandfather's accent. Her pronunciation is much more pure and standard, or more like the accent of the capital!

Thinking of Zhang Yuan’s question just now, countless thoughts suddenly flashed through Lin Zhimo’s mind.

Lin Yumo couldn't imagine so much. She heard Zhang Yuan's question and said with a smile: "Sister Zhang, you are wrong. We are not from Beijing. We are from Northwest Province."

Then Lin Yumo said in the dialect of his hometown: "Sister Zhang, I am Lin Yumo, hello." After that, she giggled first. As she smiled, she found that Zhang Yuan and Lin Zhimo were both looking at grandma, and no one heard her words. She felt that the atmosphere changed a little, and she couldn't help but look at grandma.

Noting the gazes of Lin Zhimo and Lin Yumo, Zeng Yujing couldn't help but sigh softly.

Zhang Yuan had never believed it when she heard Zeng Yujing deny it, but now she saw this and asked quickly: "Grandma, are your surname... Zeng?"

As soon as Zhang Yuan said this, Lin Zhimo raised his eyebrows and Lin Yumo was also surprised to cover his mouth and looked at Zhang Yuan - neither of them had ever told Zhang Yuan about this!

Zeng Yujing sighed again, her face seemed to be relieved and unspeakable melancholy.

Zhang Yuan was even more excited when she saw Zeng Yujing's appearance: "Grandma, no, you are Zeng Yujing...Aunt?"

"aunt?!"

Lin Zhimo and Lin Yumo couldn't help but look at each other. They never expected that Zhang Yuan would call this title.

Even Zeng Yujing was stunned when she heard Zhang Yuan’s call and asked hesitantly: “You are…”

When she heard Zeng Yujing ask this, Zhang Yuan knew that she had found the right person. She barely suppressed her excitement and said, "Aunt, my husband's name is Zeng Xinwu, my father-in-law, oh, my father-in-law's name is Zeng Yufu."

When Zeng Yujing heard Zhang Yuan say the three words "Zeng Yufu", a light suddenly shone out from her eyes. She stared at Zhang Yuan and asked, "You... are my eldest brother's daughter-in-law?"

"Well, aunt, we have found you. You don't know how much Dad misses you over the years!" Zhang Yuan immediately stood up excitedly when she saw Zeng Yujing admitting. She couldn't help but remember the scene in which Zeng Yufu was always stunned when he held a photo of their family portrait in the past few years, and said with a slightly red look on his eyes.

"Brother..." Zeng Yujing's tears fell when she heard Zhang Yuan's words.

Lin Zhimo and Lin Yumo were both stunned. No matter what, they never expected that Zhang Yuan would become her aunt in a blink of an eye, and she would still be the kind of person who was very close to each other.

Lin Zhimo reacted first, and he hugged Zeng Yujing and said, "Grandma, what's going on? Why am I confused?"

Zeng Yujing wiped her tears and sighed, "Oh, we didn't plan to tell you about this, even your father and your mother didn't know about it..."

Seeing that Zeng Yujing was about to tell a story, Lin Zhimo quickly said, "Grandma, let's go inside the house and sit and talk."

Zeng Yujing nodded in agreement, and the four of them returned to the living room. Lin Zhimo sat down with his grandmother and Lin Yumo, left and right next to Zeng Yujing.

"Grandma, are you really from Yanjing City?" Lin Zhimo asked softly.

Zeng Yujing nodded, with an indulgent expression on her face, and began to fall into memories: "That was more than 40 years ago. I was born in Yanjing and grew up in Yanjing. Later... After marrying your grandfather, I followed him to the northwest and didn't return here again until last year."

Lin Zhimo noticed that when Zeng Yujing said "Marry your grandfather", Zhang Yuan opened her mouth - obviously had some objections to this statement. Lin Zhimo could also hear flaws from what his grandmother said. If he really married his grandfather back then, why haven't he returned to Yanjing for so many years?

It could be explained by inconvenience of transportation more than 40 years ago, but what about now?

If Lin Zhimo hadn't proposed to buy a house in Yanjing, I'm afraid the two old men would still be nesting in the small mountain village in Northwest Province. But Lin Zhimo could also see that in addition to showing longing for Zeng Yufu, his grandmother did not show any other emotions such as regret and annoyance. Obviously, the idea of ​​not returning to Yanjing was Zeng Yujing's own decision.
