Li Mo got out of the car and followed Li Zhongsheng. I heard my mother wiping her eyes, turning to point to Li Zhongsheng and saying, "Dean mother, this is Zhongsheng, have you seen him several times?"
"Hello, Mother Dean."
Li Zhongsheng was tall. Standing in front of the old dean, he quickly bent down and gave her a gentle hug.
"Okay, okay."
"This is my son Li Mo. This is the first time Dean's mother has met him. Xiao Mo, come here quickly."
"Hello, Grandma Dean."
Li Mo is full of gratitude to the old dean. Without her, there would be no mother, and there would be no place for him.
"Xiaoyi, is your son still studying at this age?" The old dean stretched out his hand to touch Li Mo's face and said with a kind smile, "This child looks exactly like you. Look at his eyes and nose. Made from the same mold.”
"Mom, Dean, Xiao Mo is admitted to Beijing University this year."
"Wow, that's amazing. I've completely inherited your genes. I'm just as smart."
Li Zhongsheng stood by and said with a smile: "Dean mother, my contribution is actually quite big."
"Hahaha, yes, Xiao Mo is as tall and majestic as you." The old dean took Shi Yi with one hand and Li Mo's hand with the other and said, "Come on, let's go into the room and I'll make you some ginger tea." , go and get cold."
The house looks old on the outside and the interior decoration is simple, but it is very clean and there is no smell inside.
The old dean made ginger tea in a pot with a smile on his face. Shiyi looked at her living environment, her eyes turned red again, and her tears kept rolling.
"Dad, didn't Mom say that Grandma Dean has a son and a daughter? Why does she live alone in the old house?"
Li Mo asked softly.
Li Zhongsheng shook his head. He walked over and patted his wife's back gently and whispered: "If it doesn't work, take the dean's mother to the capital city, and we will provide her with the care of her old age."
Shiyi looked up at her husband and nodded slightly.
About six or seven minutes later, the old dean came to the living room carrying a pot of tea. She placed four clean porcelain bowls, each poured out a cup of hot ginger tea and said, "Xiaoyi liked to drink ginger with sugar the most when she was a child. Tea, it is said that drinking it in winter will keep your whole body warm.”
"Thank you, Mother Dean."
The old dean himself drank some ginger tea and looked at Shiyi with an easy-going look: "Time flies so fast. I think you were only four or five years old when someone sent you to the orphanage. You were very thin at that time. He’s so young, he’s already over 40 years old at this moment.”
"Yeah, time flies so fast. I'm already middle-aged, and my mother, the dean, has gray hair."
"Haha, I am happier than anything else to see you living well. Several children who left the orphanage have come back to see me before, but the happiest one in life is still you."
Shiyi took a sip of ginger tea, put down the porcelain bowl and asked, "Mother, dean, what are Ah Wei and Ah Qing doing now?"
"How can they be as smart as you? They went out to work after graduating from high school. Later, when they couldn't survive outside, they returned to their hometown to make a living. A Wei opened a restaurant in the county town, and A Qing got married in the county town. The two brothers and sisters It’s good to take care of each other together.”
"Mom, Dean, why don't you come with us to live in the Magic City for a while after the new year? Xiaoyi and I can also honor you."
"You kid, I could tell you were a good kid when I first saw you. Just go to Magic City. Don't we often say that Magic City is an international metropolis on TV? In addition to high-rise buildings, there are many streets. The cars are noisy all day long, how can you live here in peace and quiet."
"In three or four days, Ah Wei will come back with his wife and children to celebrate the Spring Festival. Although the life is dull, it is still happy." Suddenly something sounded, and the old dean hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand and stood up and said, "I cleaned up a few days ago. When I was in the old house, I found a wooden box, and there were several things in it that you had stored with me. It has been so long, and if I hadn't suddenly found the box, I probably wouldn't have thought of it before I died. You guys sit down, I'll go. Bring me the room."
"What is it, why can't I remember it?" Shiyi muttered a few times. She really couldn't remember anything she had left in the hands of the old dean.
After a while, the old dean brought out a wooden box with peeling paint. After she opened it, she took out something wrapped in a square towel. After opening it layer by layer, what appeared in front of several people was a red rope with a red rope on it. There was a pendant that looked like the tooth of some kind of animal.
"This is the Wolf Fang Pendant."
Li Mo took a closer look and identified it. It was a real wolf tooth, with a slightly yellow surface and the word "Shi Yi" carved on it.
"Grandma Dean, isn't my mother's name based on the words on the wolf's teeth?"
"Haha, Xiaoyi, haven't you ever told your son the secret of his name?"
Shiyi looked a little embarrassed at this time, and even Li Zhongsheng beside him coughed slightly, as if to break the awkward atmosphere.
"The child has grown up, and you still keep it secret. It's true, let me tell you." The old dean smiled at Li Mo and said, "Your mother was adopted when she was a child. The couple in that family have been married for ten years. I had no children, so after I adopted your mother, I wanted to have another biological son of my own, so I named your mother 'Dezi'. The family's surname was Feng, so I later registered her as Feng Dezi."
Damn, what a stupid name this is, it sounds so... heartbreaking.
"Well, later on, that couple got into a car accident when they were out and left. Your mother lived in that family for less than ten months, and the neighbor had to send her to the orphanage in the town. At that time, I also thought the name was too awkward. When I saw a pendant around her neck with the word 'Shiyi' on it, I thought this was the name a girl should have, so I kept calling her Shiyi."
"Your mother also applied to change her name after she entered high school. I don't know how much time and effort she spent on changing her name. Thinking about it now, the decision to change her name was fought for."
"Dean's mother, that's all Lao Huangli's business."
"Hahaha, even now that I think about it, I still think it's very funny. Fortunately, you have been through all the hardships and you are living a happy life. I am sincerely happy."
The old dean took out a few more photos from the box and handed them to Shiyi: "These are the photos taken of you when you first entered the orphanage. There are also group photos taken of you and other children. There are still some individual photos of you. Some of the next six pictures are no longer clear. Fortunately, the wooden box was wrapped with oil paper, otherwise they would have been eaten away by insects."
"Let me take a look too." Li Zhongsheng hurriedly stretched his head and took a look, "Honey, you were very cute and beautiful when you were a child."
"You can tell me that I have a good foundation."
Li Mo drank a bowl of ginger tea and felt warm and comfortable all over. He also stretched out his hand curiously and said: "Mom, show me a photo of you when you were a child. People say that a person's appearance when he was a child is very similar to his parents' appearance when they were children. Let’s see if I look like you when I was a child.”
"Take a closer look."
Shiyi handed a stack of photos to her son.
When Li Mo took it and saw the first one, he was stunned.
