Author: Flying Boat Looking at the Moon

The old lady introduced herself that her surname was Pang, and she was also a neighbor living in Aunt Lu’s neighborhood. “I saw you gathered at the fountain in the morning and seemed to be taking photos. I was very curious. Unfortunately, my leg broke a while ago, so it was inconvenient to go out.”

Tang Jialin asked with a smile: "Do you also want to take a life photo?"

Grandma Pang's white hair was neatly combed, with gold earrings on her ears, a silk scarf around her neck, and a powder on her face. She looked like she had been carefully dressed up.

"I also want to try your cake." Grandma Pang looked at the cake cabinet, "My daughter bought me your bread, but never bought me cake."

Tang Jialin was a little embarrassed. Generally, in this case, the elderly must not allow it, so she asked with a smile: "How is your blood sugar? Did the doctor ask you to eat this high-calorie food?"

"Girl, don't worry, except for my high blood pressure, I have nothing wrong with it. My leg was broken and it's almost healed." Grandma Pang patted her knees, then turned around and rushed to the foreigner who pushed her and said, "Longlong, testify to grandma."

Longlong? Tang Jialin's eyes fell on foreigners - he looked young, but is the name Longlong...

The foreigner unaware of it and showed a cheerful smile to introduce himself: "Hello, my name is Xu Long."

His Chinese is not very good, but the pronunciation of these words is quite clear.

"Grandma can have some sweet cakes," Xu Long continued, "I will look at her."

Since everyone accompanying him said that, Tang Jialin couldn't stop him anymore, so she asked them to go over and choose a cake. Grandma Pang picked a piece of taro paste and asked Xu Long to order coffee.

After the two ordered the order, Tang Jialin helped them settle the bill and went back to the counter to make coffee. Cao Xuan came over and whispered: "Is this a grandson? It looks like he is a completely foreigner."

Tang Jialin also felt that Xu Long was not like a mixed-race at all, and was completely white.

After making coffee with ease, she guessed that the old lady wanted to take a photo, so she specially picked a beautiful cup, pulled the flowers, and delivered it to Grandma Pang and her table with the cake.

"Do you want to take a photo?" Tang Jialin asked after putting it down.

Grandma Pang nodded repeatedly: "Can you bother you?"

“No trouble.”

Tang Jialin took the micro-book, came over to take a few photos of Grandma Pang with different angles, took photos of her and Xu Long, and showed them one by one. When she was satisfied, she asked how to send them to her.

"Send it to Longlong, I don't know how to use my phone."

Tang Jialin added a WeChat friend to Xu Long. When she was sending the photos, she chatted with Grandma Pang and asked her how old she was and if she had lived here before. "Our small shop has been open for several months, and I haven't seen Grandma Pang."

"I came here to stay after I was discharged from the hospital, so it's convenient for them to take care of me. It turns out that I didn't live here." After Grandma Pang said that, she asked Tang Jialin to guess how old she was.

“65?”

Grandma Pang smiled: "This girl is really good at coaxing people. 65. Oh, I'm so old, how could it be only 65?"

Tang Jialin smiled and said, "I don't think you look old at all. 65 is still talking about it too much."

Grandma Pang was very happy and reached out to gesture: "I'm 78."

Xu Long responded: "78 is also very young."

"I'm younger than your grandma." Grandma Pang replied with a smile.

Tang Jialin took the opportunity to ask: "Isn't this your biological grandson?"

Grandma Pang shook her head: "It's my cousin's grandson. You see, he doesn't look like a mixed race, right? It's only one-quarter of the Chinese blood."

Xu Long said with a little regret: "I haven't inherited it, my sister is just black-haired."

Tang Jialin chatted with them for a while and learned that Xu Long was influenced by his grandmother and was very interested in Chinese culture. When he was in college, he came to China as an exchange student. Later, he graduated from college and came to China again as an international student, so he spoke Mandarin well.

"Grandma Pang's son and family are also abroad. She had lived in her son's house for more than a year a few years ago and had contact with her cousin. Xu Long came to study abroad, so Grandma Pang's cousin asked their family to take care of Xu Long more."

After seeing off Grandma Pang, Tang Jialin retelled it with Cao Xuan, Aunt Lu and others.

Aunt Lu clapped her hands and said, "I really heard them say that there are foreigners in the community. I don't believe it. They are all old houses, so where do foreigners come from?"

Aunt Lu said: "This foreigner looks handsome, with a very high nose and blue eyes."

Tang Jialin and Cao Xuan were amused by her adjectives, but Aunt Lu said: "I didn't expect that people speak Chinese so well. If foreigners were like this, I wouldn't be afraid to go to my son's place."

"Yes, your son is outside too. Alas, why didn't he find a foreigner?" Aunt Lu asked.

"Is that what I mean is to look for?" Aunt Lu waved her hands repeatedly, "Besides, I can't speak Chinese, it's also a struggle."

Tang Jialin listened to them chatting and looked at the photo group. Finally, two people replied and quickly sent the photos. The remaining four were left, but there was no news until the closing.

The next Saturday, they did not make breakfast, and the opening time was delayed until 10 a.m. Who knew that when the door was opened in the morning, there was an old man and a middle-aged woman waiting outside.

When the woman saw Tang Jialin and Cao Xuan, she looked up and down, and asked first: "Is it the photos you took for the old man?"

"Uh, yes." Tang Jialin saw that the other party was not very friendly, but still opened the door and asked them to go in and say.

"You took photos of the old man and left their names. You might as well use their identities to borrow money, right?" The woman looked suspicious and looked around, "Where is the negative film?"

Tang Jialin actually expected someone to suspect this and said, "The things you said require an ID card. I haven't asked my uncles and aunts for ID cards, and even my name doesn't have to be a full name. It's just to facilitate the distribution of photos later."

I asked the uncle who was following me if he received the photo yesterday.

The uncle shook his head, Tang Jialin unlocked his phone, found the old man's photo album, and asked the woman: "How do you send it to you?"

"Don't send it to me, just delete it." The woman walked forward, "Is this the negative?"

Tang Jialin glanced at her uncle and saw that he was like a child who did something wrong, lowered his head and shrank his shoulders without saying a word, so she explained to the old man: "The old man just wanted to take a photo of his life as a souvenir, and he took a photo..."

"Do you delete it quickly, don't talk nonsense! Otherwise I will call the police." The woman interrupted her arrogantly.

Aunt Lu came in at this moment, heard the last sentence, and continued to ask: "Why call the police? Lao Liu, who is this? Your daughter-in-law?"

The uncle just nodded, but still didn't say anything.

When the woman saw Aunt Lu, she still had a bad expression: "We don't need to, just ask you to delete it!"

"What's your attitude?" Aunt Lu was not easy to mess with, so she came over to separate Tang Jialin and Liu's daughter-in-law. "We take photos for everyone for free, so we don't leave any details. I'll delete it if I send it to you. Do you need to scream here?"

Aunt Tang Jialin Lala Lu whispered: "She said she didn't want the photo, so she deleted it directly."

Aunt Lu turned around and shouted to Uncle: "Old Liu, you don't want this photo?"

Old Liu looked at his daughter-in-law's face and nodded: "No."

"Then delete it." Aunt Lu looked at Liu's daughter-in-law with her eyes squintedly, "Are you satisfied?"

The woman looked at Tang Jialin deleted the photo, but was still worried. She pointed and said, "What kind of loans and debts should come to you in the future, and I will settle the score with you!"
