Chapter 4021 The Same Person

"…Do you know my mother's name?"

The woman did not answer the old man's question.

Instead, he asked the old man with an indescribable expression.

……

The old man was stunned.

It's so strange...

How did she know the woman’s mother’s name?

They met for the first time today.

"I have no idea……"

The old man shook his head honestly.

Then he couldn't help but asked with some dissatisfaction, "What's your question?"

"How do I know your mother's name?"

Really...

It’s such a confusing question…it makes me feel unhappy.

The old man frowned.

……

The woman saw that the old man was unhappy.

After all, the old man showed it very clearly.

She knew her question was strange, and she understood the old man's confusion and discomfort...

but……

Women and children come out.

"…My mother's name is…"

"Ji Jinyu."

……

"I need to know your mother's name-"

When he heard the first half of the sentence, the old man said directly because of the unpleasantness just now.

But soon, the old man's voice stopped abruptly.

"……what?"

The old man reached out and rubbed his ears.

"What's your mother's name?"

Did she hear it correctly?
She must have misheard...

Or are they homophones?
Similar situations are not uncommon.

……

"Ji-Jin-Yu."

The woman spoke word by word.

"thistle……"

"It's the grass radical... the thistle in the plant."

"Jin Yu is Jade's name."

"They all mean beautiful jade."

The woman repeated almost word for word the old man's explanation of the mushroom-headed girl's name.

……

The old man was stunned.

The woman made her words clear.

She didn't need to ask...

She didn't mishear.

They are not homophones...

Just those three words.

……

how come……

The old man looked at the old lady in front of him with a completely new perspective.

The delicate and sophisticated look was completely different from the little girl in her memory who wore the same thick bangs and dull clothes all year round.

How could they be the same person?

impossible……

The old man shook his head inwardly.

……

correct!

An idea suddenly occurred to the old man.

"Same name?"

"What a coincidence..."

The old man's face was full of emotion.

After all, even though my name isn't that special, when I ask if anyone has ever had a name like mine...

There may not be one in ten people.

……

Same name?

The woman shook her head.

"I have no idea……"

"But my mother..."

“I lived here when I was a kid.”

The woman released another piece of "explosive information".

……

what? !

The old man opened his eyes wide in surprise.

She glanced at the old lady.

"She lived here before?!"

……

"Ah."

The woman reached out and rubbed her forehead hard.

"I also heard from my husband..."

It is said that the old lady originally lived here.

"... Later, I moved because of my parents' work..."

Who would have thought...

……

"She moved back again?!"

Grandma was very surprised.

……

"Ah."

The woman nodded.

It was indeed the old lady who suggested this place.

The conditions here are good in all aspects and there are indeed suitable houses.

As the old man wished, they bought a house here and settled down.

……

Grandma couldn't help but pinch her face. Is this true?
One day, the plot in the novel happened right before her eyes...

……

"she……"

Grandma stuttered a little, "Really..."

The mushroom-head girl from that year? !
In other words, she just told the other person's past story in front of him? !

Grandma hurriedly tried to recall...

Did she say anything excessive just now?

You didn’t say anything bad about the mushroom-headed girl, did you?

She was probably just telling a story.

Without adding too much personal emotion, right?
After all, it was such a long time ago...

Even if there were any emotions at that time, they have long been lost in the long river of time.

It wasn't a strong emotion.

If she could still remember it now, how stingy was she?

……

The woman pursed her lips.

"I think……"

"I have no idea……"

Because it was too coincidental, even though all signs pointed out...

"...name...address...Red One-Eye..."

All this information matches.

The woman felt that she should be able to confirm that the old lady was the mushroom-headed girl that her grandmother had mentioned.

But she still felt a little uneasy and suspended in her heart.

……

"do you remember me?"

Grandma suddenly said to the old lady.

"I'm Li Xuan."

"Your elementary school classmate."

"Junior high school classmate."

"And...former neighbors."

Well……

Grandma paused.

Then he muttered under his breath, "And the neighbors now."

……

The old lady looked at grandma.

There was some doubt in his eyes.

……

The woman smiled apologetically at the old man.

"She doesn't remember..."

……

"Grandma always forgets about us, too."

The little boy and girl raised their hands and shouted.

……

The disappointment on grandma's face gradually faded.

She forgot...

The wife told her at the beginning...

Her former friend -
Ok……

Grandma was a little hesitant.

Were they friends in the past?

Did she ever consider the mushroom-headed girl as a friend in the past?
Instead of having to bring a classmate or a peer to play with at the request of adults?

So……

playmate?

Can she call him a playmate?
They did play together many times...

Ok.

That's a playmate.

Grandma shamelessly defined them as playmates.

……

When she met this old playmate again, he really gave her a lot of surprises.

……

"She really..."

Grandma looked at the woman.

The woman didn't finish her words, but nodded as if she understood.

……

Grandma looked regretful and a little sad.

"When...how long has it been..."

……

"Almost two years..."

The woman smiled bitterly.

There was a sigh in his voice.

……

Grandma opened her mouth.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

All an outsider like her can do about this kind of thing is to say a few meaningless words of comfort.

But after knowing that the other person was the mushroom-headed girl from the past and knowing that he had spent some time with her...

Grandma thinks...

Maybe she should have done more?
……

but……

After a few seconds of hesitation, grandma gave up.

She didn't know what else she could do?
She could only offer words of comfort.

……

"She... looks..."

Facing the woman's gaze, grandma smiled dryly, "It doesn't look like...she has that disease..."

She didn't know what effect she wanted to achieve by saying this...

It's like making conversation out of nothing... it's useless...

……

"right?"

Compared to the old man, the woman seemed much more relaxed.

After all, this is not the first day the old lady has had this disease.

All the emotions of the family towards the old lady's illness...

Almost everything has settled down slowly over time.
