Soon to leave the port city, Xiao Mulan didn't know why, she became anxious again, and often stretched out her little hand for adults to hug. Wen Jing found something and said to her family: "Don't you think it's a little strange? My sister is the first time to come to Hong Kong City, why is it the same as if she has lived here for many years?"

Other people have more or less noticed this, Xiao Mulan is no stranger to her relatives in Hong Kong City, no matter who teases her, she smiles sweetly. Relatives all said that Qiao Nan was really blessed, the boy was like a boy, and he was lawless, and the girl was like a girl, quiet and delicate, which was really enviable.

Adults are guessing that Xiao Mulan prefers this lively big family to a small family thousands of miles away, so she doesn't want to leave. But not necessarily, the little ones have more nostalgia than the adults think.

The cold wind in the port city in winter is cold, and the snowflakes fall at every turn, and the adults are afraid that the child will catch a cold, so they dare not take her out. When the weather is fine, occasionally take her to the street, she always looks at everything around her curiously, and her big eyes are not frightened, but full of comfort.

On the afternoon of taking the family photo, their family of four went out first, and Qiao Bowen had to push his sister. When passing the gate of the second middle school, Xiao Mulan babbled. Qiao Nan thought that his son was pushing too fast, so he picked her up. But Xiao Mulan pointed to the school gate and said "ahh

Qiao Nan explained to her: "This is the school, where grandma works, and the children of our Qiao family all graduated from here. ”

"Ahh

"Do you know here?"

"Ahh

"Do you want to come to school here in the future?"

"Ahh

Anyway, she was not sensible and couldn't speak, Qiao Nan teased her for a while, put her in the stroller again, and told her son to push the stroller well. Qiao Nan was not at ease, and walked a few steps backwards, and he found that his daughter was still looking back at the school gate reluctantly, and seemed to be very reluctant to be there.

Wen Jing also wondered: "It's strange, it's empty inside, what is she looking at?"

Qiao Nan thought for a moment and grabbed his wife's arm: "Children are just unpredictable, let's not guess!"

Walking to the "Auspicious Wonton House", Xiao Mulan babbled as usual. No one had taken her to the store, and she couldn't have known that it was Qiao's shop. This time, even Qiao Nan couldn't help but be speechless: "Our girl is really a god, she knows everything related to the old Qiao family!"

Wen Jing smiled: "Didn't you say it?

When Qiao Nan turned around again, his little daughter was rubbing her two chubby little hands and laughing at her old father, laughing so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit. Qiao Nan remembered what his wife had said - sometimes, I always feel that my daughter has a lot to say to me.

At this moment, Qiao Nan also felt that although she was a little baby who didn't understand anything, maybe her little head contained a lot of things. Therefore, as my wife said, communicate with the children, speak seriously, and don't be fooled.

When you go out with a child, you can't accurately estimate the time it will take. From Qiao's house to the photo studio, it was about 800 meters away, on the way, Qiao Bowen pinched a few snowballs, pushed his sister for a while, asked his parents for a string of sugar gourds, and tried hard to chase a sparrow in the snow. If it weren't for his old father's stiff face, he didn't know how long he would have to grind.

"You little comrade, undisciplined and loose, if there is a next time, I will punish you for standing in a military posture!"

Dad made a straight face, really like a cold-faced instructor, which made people shudder. Although Qiao Bowen pretended to be grinning, he was still very scared in his heart, and he didn't dare to be naughty anymore.

The photo studio Wen Jing found was called "Time". Wen Jing was putting on makeup, and Qiao Nan chatted with the boss for a few words. The boss said that he had opened a photo studio on Fuqian Road for more than 30 years, and if it weren't for the demolition of the old city, he would never want to move out for the rest of his life.

Wen Jing probably knew this reason, when she booked the photo studio, she said that this store had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and she may have seen this name near her home when she was a child, so she didn't hesitate to order this one.

The adults chatted, and Jobwen played by himself. The photo studio is not big, and there are many picture frames hanging on the wall leading to the studio, Qiao Bowen looked at the old photos intently, and no one paid attention to him, but he pointed to one of the photos and muttered, "Mom." ”

Qiao Nan hugged her daughter and laughed at her son: "Boy, your mother is putting on makeup here!"

"No, this is Mom!"

The son was very sure, and Qiao Nan had no choice but to find out. He thought his son had seen it wrong, but when he saw the photo, his expression froze - the woman in the photo, like his wife, had shoulder-length short hair, plump cheeks, a pointed chin, and a very beautiful face. The eyes and smiles of the two people are also like copy and paste, the eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the mouths are curled into a nice arc. The smile is toothless, but the smile is as warm and bright as spring.

Qiao Nan was dumbfounded, but Qiao Bowen was very proud, and jumped and said, "I say, this is my mother!"

Xiao Mulan also saw it, she pointed to the photo and screamed "Ahhhh

The boss rushed over when he heard the sound, looked at the photos, and carefully looked at Wen Jing, who was putting on makeup, and was a little stunned: "Oh my God, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Wen Jing didn't care about makeup, and after she saw the photo, she covered her mouth suddenly: "It's my mother?"

The boss said incoherently: "This photo is really thirty years old, right? I still remember very clearly, the woman came with a big belly, saying that she wanted to take a ID photo." At that time, she was already very old, but there was no flesh on her body, and her face was not swollen, but my wife was envious! But after she finished filming, she never came to pick it up, I don't know if there was something wrong, or if she left the port city. ”

The boss desperately recalled it, forgetting whether it was 86 or 87, anyway, around the Mid-Autumn Festival that year. Because when the woman came to take pictures, she also gave them two mooncakes, saying that her husband brought them back from the south. Wen Jing's birthday is October 24th, and it is likely that she was born a few days after the photo was taken, and her mother naturally forgot to take the little thing.

The boss stroked the photo and sighed: "After so many years, I have taken countless photos, including many young and beautiful girls, but I have always hung this photo in the store." At that time, there was no makeup technique, and you couldn't fake the photos, but this one was really beautiful. When others saw her, they all said that she was like a Hong Kong female star in the eighties and nineties, and her husband was so blessed. ”

When taking a family portrait of the whole family, Wen Jing put this photo on her chest, and she smiled sweetly like her mother. When the boss pressed the shutter, it was as if she had traveled through thirty years and met her mother at that time.

After the shooting, the boss heard that they were out of town and were about to leave the port city, so he immediately wrote down their addresses, made an appointment with them, and sent them in person after the photos were washed out.

Lao Qiao said that anyway, the old couple can come over to pick up the photos at any time, take them home and send them to them. But the boss stubbornly said: "It's better for me to send it myself." Besides, Miss Wen's mother has advertised my home for free for so many years, and I can still do this small return. ”

Wen Jing is very grateful to her boss, who saved the photos for 30 years and allowed her to find a memory that belongs to her mother. After returning home, she hid in the study and refused to come out, constantly rubbing the photos, crying and laughing in her memories.

Qiao Bowen squeezed to his mother's side and asked, "Mom, why are you crying when you look at your photo?"

"This is not Mommy, this is your Grandma. ”

"Grandma?" Qiao Bowen tilted his head and asked, "Who is Grandma?"

"Grandma...... It's mom's mom. ”

Qiao Bowen smiled innocently: "Does Mom have a Mom too? How is she exactly like Mom?"

The child's words are unscrupulous, and a sentence that seems to be a tongue twister, but it makes Wen Jing sad. Her husband told her to stop being sentimental, although her mother is gone, she has left a lot of traces in this world, enough to accompany them for a lifetime.

Wen Jing took out her wallet, which contained a photo of her one year old, and the reason why she kept carrying it was because her mother wrote a line of words behind the photo: "May my daughter have a happy life." ”

A mother's most simple wish has become one of the few memorials left to her by her mother. Qiao Nan had known about the existence of that photo for a long time, and now that she looks at it, Xiao Mulan is also very much like her mother in infancy. Qiao Nan quipped: "It seems that you are also a nesting doll family, from your mother-in-law to our daughter-in-law, they are all carved out of the same mold." ”

Wen Jing burst into tears and smiled, looked at her sleeping daughter, and said to her husband: "I also have the same wish, so I will definitely live a good life, so that our daughter can also have a happy life." ”
