Seeing Norman Eugene's expression of excitement, Chris hurriedly explained: "Sorry, Professor Eugene, I am not a Stanford graduate."
Norman asked puzzledly: "Then how do you know that the red cedar tree I painted is the 1 in the Stanford University badge? If you don't have a deep understanding of Stanford, you probably won't remember the pattern in the school badge. Am I right?"
Chris didn't hide it and said seriously: "My mother did study at Stanford back then. When I was a child, I was fortunate to follow her to visit Stanford."
"So that's it!" Norman nodded slightly, "I think you are only 20-seven or 18 this year. Your mother's age should be similar to mine, right?"
Chris nodded. When I was born, my mother was 20-six years old, and she would be 50-four this year."
Norman pondered for a moment, and said, "50-four years old, that is, 1 year younger than me. It is likely to be in the same class as me, or just before me. Can I take the liberty to ask, what is your mother's name? Maybe I still know!"
Chris hesitated for a moment, and inevitably said sadly: "My mother has passed away for many years, so I still don't mention her name."
As soon as Chris's voice fell, Norman was already stunned!
He looked at Chris, his voice was trembling with shock, and he asked, "Chris…your surname is Arthur…then your mother, is her surname An?!"
Chris couldn't help but exclaimed: "Professor Eugene knows my mother?!"
Norman became excited all of a sudden, and said, "Are you really Jasmine's child?!"
When Chris heard the word "Jasmine" at 1st, tears filled Chris's eyes.
Jasmine An is his mother's name.
This name has been missed in his heart for many years, but Chris has almost heard someone mention it for the 1st time in so many years.
His mother's surname is An, which is safe and happy.
Literally, peach trees and plum trees do not speak, but because they bloom beautiful flowers and produce sweet fruits, people will spontaneously walk in front of them and step on a path under them. and his mother's name in Springsen is derived from these trees.
Its true meaning is to metaphor a person who is sincere and self-disciplined enough and possesses a flawless character, so he will naturally touch and attract others, and be loved and admired by people.
Because Chris's mother was his grandfather's eldest daughter and the 1 who was most loved, the old man had high hopes for her, so he gave her An Aurora, a name with deep meaning.
When Norman saw Chris with tears in his eyes, he immediately confirmed his guess. He stepped forward, grasped Chris's hand, and said with red eyes: "Chris, we 2 met more than 20 years ago. Yes! At that time you were very young, and your mother took you to Stanford and Silicon Valley. My wife and I were always accompanied at the time, but there were still many people around. You may not have any impression of me."
As he said, he suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "My lover even hugged you at the time! Do you still have an impression?"
Chris shook his head and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, Professor Eugene, it's been too long, I really don't have any impression."
Then he asked, "Professor Eugene, were you classmates with my mother?"
