老奶奶

Grandma

我的手机里有一个特别的联系人,名叫"马路对面的老奶奶",这个名字背后有个有趣的故事。

I have a special contact in my phone named "Grandma Across the Street," and there's an interesting story behind this name.

去年冬天的一个周末,我正在家里看电视,忽然收到一个陌生号码发来的信息:"饭做好了,来吃吧。"

Last winter on a weekend, I was at home watching TV when I suddenly received a message from a strange number: "Dinner is ready, come eat."

我很确定这是发错了,就回复说:"对不起,您可能发错人了。"

I was pretty sure this was a mistake, so I replied, "Sorry, you may have the wrong person."

对方很快又发来消息:"是小王吗?奶奶做了你最爱吃的红烧肉和鱼。"

The other party quickly responded, "Is this Little Wang? Grandma made your favorite braised pork and fish."

我解释说我不是小王,但老奶奶似乎不太相信,还发来了一张菜的照片,看起来确实很美味。

I explained that I was not Little Wang, but the grandma seemed skeptical and sent a photo of the food, which did indeed look delicious.

出于好奇,我问她住在哪里,结果发现她就住在我家马路对面的小区里。

Out of curiosity, I asked her where she lived, and found out she lived in the community just across the street from my house.

老奶奶很难过,说她的孙子最近换了手机号码,但她记错了新号码。

The grandma was sad and said that her grandson had recently changed his phone number, but she had remembered the wrong one.

我主动提出可以帮她联系到她的孙子,最终在社区群里找到了正确的联系方式。

I kindly offered to help her contact her grandson and eventually found the correct contact information in the community group.

之后,老奶奶总是会时不时给我发一些她做的菜的照片,有时候还会邀请我去她家吃饭。

Afterward, the grandma often sent me pictures of the dishes she made and sometimes invited me to her home for dinner.

虽然是因为一个错误开始的联系,但我们却成了忘年交,这也成了我手机通讯录里最有故事的名字。

Although our connection began with a mistake, we became good friends across generations, and this became the most storied name in my phone's contact list.
