Chapter 1003 I really thought you two were dating
"Hmm? Your grandma?"
Hearing Li Xiangnan's words, Jian Liwei immediately stood up from his seat, walked to the bookcase, looked at the row of old photo frames in confusion, and took out the one that Li Xiangnan pointed at in surprise.
The photo is in black and white. There are twenty or thirty people in the photo, and each of them is smiling brightly.
Looking at the background, it seems to be located at a pier.
There seems to be some kind of giant ship behind it, but it is very blurry and difficult to see clearly.
Even if Li Xiangnan tried hard to distinguish, he couldn't recognize where this place was at the first time!
Seeing that Li Xiangnan was a little excited, Jian Liwei handed him the photo, and then quickly turned on a green desk lamp on the desk and asked, "Xiao Li, who is your grandmother?"
"That's it, Mu Huanying!"
Li Xiangnan pointed at a woman standing on the right side of the center, rubbed his red eyes several times, and said with certainty: "It's her! I remember!"
The photos of his grandmother taken when she was seventeen or eighteen years old with Song Yi’s grandmother Yu Jingran are still in his home. Sometimes when he can’t sleep, he will take them out and look at them!
Mu Huanying's appearance had long been engraved in his mind.
I don't know how many times I have played out her every smile and frown in my mind!
So, almost at a glance, he recognized that the person in the photo was his grandmother!
"Mu Huanying? That's not right!"
But Jian Liwei's next words made Li Xiangnan feel cold all over, and a chill came from the top of his head.
"Is her last name Jiang or Jiang? I can't remember clearly, but it's definitely not Mu..."
boom!
"..."
Li Xiangnan was so shocked that he was speechless. His brain even became a little dull at this moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses from Jian Liwei's words.
"Her last name is Jiang? How is that possible? This is my grandmother, Mu Huanying! Uncle Jian, do you remember where you took this photo?"
Li Xiangnan frowned and handed the photo back to Jian Liwei, looking at him hopefully.
"What year? What year? What year was it?"
Jian Liwei glanced at the photo, rubbed his brows, and looked at it again, recalling: "I really don't remember..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly placed the photo frame on the table and began to dismantle the frame. "But I remember there seemed to be a year on the back. When these photos were taken, I was still in Moscow..."
Moscow?
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan became even more confused!
When did Grandma Mu Huanying go to Moscow again?
What is she doing in Mao Xiong?
Could it be that she has been abroad instead of staying in the country these years?
After hearing this information, Li Xiangnan became even more confused.
"Yes, it was in 1959! Look! The filming location was at the port of Murmansk!"
Jian Liwei immediately took out the photo and handed it over.
Li Xiangnan looked down and saw the year written on the lower right corner of the back of the photo.
Commemorative photo of 1954.
Murmansk.
That perennially ice-free port? What was grandma doing there?
Huge doubts surrounded Li Xiangnan like a tide, and various information came one after another, so much so that for a moment, he felt that his brain even had a brief blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Bang!
He slumped down on the bench, holding the photo, thinking deeply.
"Xiao Li? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing him lose his composure, Jian Liwei himself became confused and asked hurriedly, "Has your grandma gone abroad? Is she the person in the photo?"
"..." Li Xiangnan couldn't answer him at this moment.
Because he remembered what Song Yi's grandmother Yu Jingran said.
Don't reveal any information about your grandmother until the time is right.
So he smiled slightly, took a long breath, shook his head and said, "Maybe it was a misunderstanding, I was wrong, the person in the photo really looks like my grandma! I was a little excited at the moment, sorry for making you laugh!"
"It's okay!" Jian Liwei waved his hand, his eyes lost in thought. He stood up and took Li Xiangnan's cup to pour water, and said slowly: "When I was in Moscow, I was still an official attaché, accompanying the ambassador to visit these compatriots in the Russian bear! As for the female comrade you mentioned... Sorry, I don't have much impression of her. There were too many people at the time!"
"What are they doing in Murmansk?" Li Xiangnan's eyes were no longer on the photo, as if he had really recognized the wrong person and was just a little curious on the spur of the moment.
"That's not so clear! Maybe she was studying, or maybe she was on a business trip to school! I wasn't responsible for contacting them at the time! My level wasn't high enough!" Jian Liwei felt a little apologetic. Seeing that Li Xiangnan had recovered, he picked up the photo on the table and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, although I don't know what happened to your grandmother, there isn't much information left from their era, and it's probably impossible for the photo to be preserved. Since this photo is destined to be with you, you should keep it! It can also be a keepsake!"
"Uncle Jian, thank you! I won't be so pretentious anymore!"
Li Xiangnan nodded, took it with both hands, and put the photo in his shirt pocket with gratitude.
Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Dad, the meal is ready!"
"Got it!" Jian Liwei replied, and immediately put the note with the B-ultrasound machine information into the drawer. He whispered to Li Xiangnan, "I'll help you contact Neon Country! Wait for my news!"
Li Xiangnan stood up and nodded, "Uncle Jian, thank you!"
At this time, there is naturally no need to talk about whether there is disease or not. When smart people get along with each other, in addition to being sincere, they can also exchange benefits with each other, and the relationship will naturally become more stable.
"Eat, eat!" Jian Liwei took him out, and the spring breeze was already blowing on his face.
"Auntie, you are such a great cook. There are so many dishes. Thank you for the treat!"
Li Xiangnan also gave a few compliments at the right time and he and his aunt were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
The meal was relaxing and enjoyable, and quite lively.
"Jingzhe, send Xiao Li off!"
They soon said goodbye at the door, and Jian Liwei asked his daughter to see Li Xiangnan off.
"Okay, Dad!" Jian Jingzhe agreed readily, but his expression was a little strange. He kept winking at Li Xiangnan, hoping that he would stay.
After they left the yard and walked a long way, Li Xiangnan asked with a smile: "What does that expression mean?"
"Hey, Li Xiangnan, didn't I ask you to treat my dad? Why didn't you mention this matter since we met? Did you forget about the Neon Country thing?"
"How could that be?" Li Xiangnan smiled and covered up for her father, saying, "It's not a big problem! Don't take it to heart!"
"Really?"
Jian Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, "I was wondering why you didn't mention it! Now that you put it that way, I understand! Phew, I was worried for nothing!"
She looked delighted, and soon became happy again because of Li Xiangnan's words.
"Come to Nianwei Hospital every three days and bring back Chinese medicine for your dad! I've already told your dad!"
"Okay!" Jian Jingzhe agreed readily.
She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably happy when she heard that she could see him every few days.
"Okay, see you later! Thanks for the treat!"
Li Xiangnan got on his bike and came out of Jingshan.
Thinking that the B-ultrasound machine had been found, and that I had won the favor of Ambassador Jian, and had other clues about my grandmother Mu Huanying, this meal was not in vain.
Thinking this in his mind, his mood inexplicably improved.
But when he was almost at school, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
Because he saw a very sad scene.
In front of a tire repair stall, a woman with dark skin and a dirty face was repairing someone's tire.
Her five or six-year-old child sat next to her, smiling gently at passers-by from time to time.
The two people use sign language to communicate with others. They are a deaf-mute mother and daughter.
Wang Defa and Jiang Qitao were right next to the stall, one squatting and the other sitting, repairing shoes for someone.
Li Xiangnan looked for a long time before he knew where Defa had been during this period!
My nose felt a little sore for a moment, and I suddenly felt a little guilty.
As a friend, his concern for his brothers and sisters is still not enough.
"Auntie, five cents, please put them on! Come back next time!" At this time, Wang Defa had repaired a shoe and returned it to the owner. After taking the money, he put it into the pocket of the little girl next to him, then turned around and smiled at Jiang Qitao.
Then, as he was laughing, he suddenly became stunned. He got up jealously and wanted to pull Jiang Qitao away.
"My shoes are broken too! Boss, you don't want to do business anymore? Why are you running away?"
Li Xiangnan walked over slowly, glared at Defa, and then looked at the two people who were laughing awkwardly, "Tell me, what's going on? If I don't know, I would really think you two are in love!"
