During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Mrs. Ye gave You Bin a gentle push from behind and said, "Dad, let's go over there quickly. The old man will definitely be very happy to see you."
Boss Ye also said, "That's right. During the cooking competition this afternoon, when the list of successful candidates was announced, when You Bin's name was read, the old man was visibly stunned and looked around!"
You Bin became even more nervous after hearing what his daughter and son-in-law said.
But he still followed everyone to the main courtyard where Mr. Cen lived.
Meng Yu just came out of the yard and was startled when he saw You Bin, then asked, "Are there guests at home?
"Could this be Captain Zhang's father?"
You Bin's steps were stiff at this time, and he almost limped when he walked.
Looking at the familiar gate in front of me and the screen wall inside.
You Bin murmured, "After all these years, this old man's yard hasn't changed at all. Has it never been renovated?"
After hearing this, Meng Yu looked at You Bin again, wondering if this was one of the old man's disciples who came to visit him?
But no matter who it is, hearing the tone of the voice, it must be an old acquaintance of the old man.
So Meng Yu quickly said, "Actually, it has been repaired before, but the old man asked us to repair it according to the original style and not change anything."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Boss Ye and Mrs. Ye for help, wondering what was wrong with them today and why they didn't even ask for help to introduce them.
Boss Ye pulled Meng Yu away and said, "Don't make trouble for now."
Mrs. Ye pulled You Bin and brought him into the house.
Mr. Cen had worked hard all day and was now lying on a recliner with his eyes closed for a nap.
When he heard the footsteps, he thought it was Meng Yu entering the room again, so he said, "Let's put dinner in the side hall today. Call me when it's ready. I'll rest for a while."
"Grandpa." Mrs. Ye called out.
When Elder Cen heard the voice of Mrs. Ye, he opened his eyes, sat up and said, "You're here, I thought it was Meng Yu!
"Where did he go again?"
Meng Yu quickly responded at the door: "Grandpa, I understand. I'll make arrangements right away."
Elder Cen raised his hand and beckoned Sister Ye, "Come in and talk. How was the competition this morning? Were you nervous?"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ye took a few steps forward, then squatted down beside him, took his hand and said, "Grandpa, I want you to meet someone, but you have to promise me not to get excited, okay?"
When Mr. Cen heard this, he seemed to realize something and his heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably.
Mrs. Ye turned her head and waved at the door, and then an elderly man with gray hair walked in from outside.
Old Cen frowned and looked for a long time. Finally, he simply picked up the glasses that Qingtian had given him and held them up to his eyes for a closer look.
The man took a few steps forward and then stopped, seeming very nervous and excited.
Mrs. Ye stood up and pulled the person directly to Mr. Cen.
"Grandpa, I found my father!" Mrs. Ye said, then felt something was wrong and changed her words, "I should say it was my father who found us.
"Look, can you still recognize it?"
You Bin had not had a good life outside the Great Wall before, and he looked even older after fleeing the famine.
It's only in the last six months that he's stabilized and gained a little weight. Otherwise, he would look like a skeleton with a head full of white hair.
Old Cen looked at the man who seemed even older than himself, his lips trembling, but he didn't dare to confirm.
You know, the last time we met, You Bin was just a young man of coming of age.
Elder Cen turned around bewilderedly and looked at Mrs. Ye and asked, "Is this really your father?"
"Old man, yes, he is really my father!
"When the earth twisted in my hometown, my father was hit on the head by the beam.
"Who knew it would be a blessing in disguise and my madness would be cured!
"He followed the refugees to Tianjin and opened a small restaurant there.
"Later, he heard that you were hosting a cooking competition in the capital, and he was thinking of you, so he came to participate."
Mrs. Ye had already said this very lightly, for she was afraid that the old man would not be able to accept it all at once and his emotions would fluctuate too much.
After all, the old man is very old now. It would be bad if he suddenly had such big mood swings and fell ill.
Fortunately, Mr. Cen is not an ordinary person. He has been in the palace for so many years and has seen everything.
He waved to You Bin, asked him to come over to him, looked at him carefully, and even reached out to touch his earlobe.
You Bin squatted in front of Mr. Cen, like a well-behaved child, and let him look at and caress him without moving.
"It's definitely Bin'er!" Elder Cen finally choked up after a careful examination. "Even the tuft of flesh behind the earlobe is still there..."
As soon as Mr. Cen choked up, You Bin could no longer hold back his tears, and two lines of tears flowed down his wrinkled cheeks.
"Dad!" You Bin yelled, then fell to his knees beside the recliner and kowtowed repeatedly, "Dad, I'm an unfilial son. I haven't been able to be with you for so many years.
"Seeing you still so strong, I'm both happy and ashamed..."
"Hurry up and get up. This is not your fault." Elder Cen quickly stood up and reached out to help You Bin. "The child told me everything about you.
"You've suffered a lot over the years!
"If I could see you one last time before I die, I would be completely satisfied and would die without regrets!"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Mrs. Ye spat quickly, "You say what you mean.
"Grandpa, you are in very good health, and my father is now well.
"Our family is finally reunited, and good times are yet to come!
