The old lady smiled at me and said, “Yes, isn’t it? I’ve been here for more than fifty years and haven’t been out here.”
“I came from outside, come to find someone. Do you know Wang Xiaomei? That’s my mother. Can you find family?” I said.
The old lady scratched her head and said, “It’s from Xiao generation, it’s still a girl. I’ve gone there too many times. Wait, it should be from Jueren’s house, right?”
The old man who was playing mahjong did not look up at the mahjong and said, “What’s the one from my family? Are you here to recognize your relatives again?”
“You can tell if you follow him and ask.” The old lady pointed to who was playing mahjong.
“Okay.” After I said that, I stood behind the old man playing mahjong.
The old man was still playing cards and said, “Who are you looking for?”
“Wang Xiaomei.” I said.
“Who are you Wang Xiaomei?” said the old man.
“She is my mother.” I said.
“What are you here for?” said the old man.
I thought about standing beside the old man, telling me about Dahuang Village. I came to my mother and said it again. I almost saw that the old man’s face changed.
“Can you prove your identity? What else do you say?” said the old man.
