Going abroad, emigrating, getting married, having a child, be widowed, and then choose to return to the roots with the child and return to the country.
This short sentence represents her life experience of more than 50 years.
What’s interesting is that Pollard’s experience is almost exactly the same as hers.
He also decided to return to China after his wife died.
Originally, Meiqing thought that the difference between him and herself was that he had returned by himself and the child was still abroad. Today, when she suddenly saw Melba, she realized that Pollard’s child had also returned.
To be honest, it was so coincidental that Meiqing thought she was looking in the mirror, but in some places, it was the opposite. For example, Pollard was a male and had a daughter, and she was a female and had a son.
Therefore, when she saw Melba, she was a little more cordial, so she smiled and said, “Melba, my son just came to China with me. I have the opportunity to introduce you to him. I believe you and him will have a lot of common things to talk about.”
Melba smiled slightly, nodded, and said politely: “Sure Auntie.”
Seeing this, Pollard hurriedly said: “Oh! Meiqing, how about that? I will cook some dishes at home tomorrow night. You will bring Paul to come to recognize the door, and let the two children get to know each other. What do you think? “
Meiqing thought for a while and said, “Well, I’m not sure yet. I will ask Paul when I get home.”
