Zhang Wen, exhausted, stood at the door of the fruit shop.
He looked up at the sign, then looked at the customers walking through the store buying fruit, took a deep breath, and walked in.
Han Xiaomei was the only one at the cashier counter in the store, so he walked over.
"Hello, I'm here to see my father, his name is Zhang Hongying."
Han Xiaomei understood immediately after hearing this, and pointed to the door leading to the backyard, motioning him to go in.
A few days ago, her boss told her that someone might come to look for Uncle Zhang, so when she heard the man's words, she told him to go find him himself.
Zhang Wen went through the side door to the backyard.
Old man Zhang Hongying and Grandma Sun were cleaning up in the backyard under the shade of a tree.
Now the two elderly people are responsible for cleaning the fruit shop in the morning and evening and preparing the fruits for tasting.
Ye Jiaying was coldly counting the fruits, preparing to ask Ye Jiamin to send her some new ones.
"Dad."
Zhang Wen cried out excitedly as he looked at his father who had been missing for over a year and had become much thinner than usual.
Old man Zhang Hongying was bending over to sort out the garbage to be thrown away, but turned around when he heard this.
Zhang Wen had tears in his eyes.
He is an honest man and usually doesn't think much of his father's presence. But after his father disappeared for a year, he had to look for his father, manage the family orchard, and watch over the picking and selling of fruits, which put him under a lot of pressure.
I was clearly following my father's procedures, but this year's harvest was 20% lower than in previous years.
The fruit farmer working in the orchard was a little nervous after not seeing his father come back for such a long time. Fortunately, he had an uncle with long service to keep him in check, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
After receiving a call from his father, he didn't stop for a moment and went straight to Beijing.
Now that he saw his father, his panicked heart finally settled down. He couldn't help but feel his eyes red and wanted to cry.
"Awen, come here, let daddy see if everything is okay at home." Old man Zhang Hongying put down the garbage in his hand and looked at his son with a smile.
When Ye Jiaying heard the noise outside and came out, she saw the father and son hugging each other and crying.
Mainly, Zhang Wen was crying, and old man Zhang Hongying was comforting him with a smile.
Grandma Sun was washing fruit in the small kitchen next door. She came out when she heard the noise.
The old man who had always been silly is no longer silly. She is very happy for him. Now seeing his son so concerned about him, she thinks of her own children and her eyes are full of envy.
It took Zhang Wen a while to stop crying.
When she saw a little girl and a mother-in-law in the yard, her face turned red.
"You saved my father, thank you so much."
As he said this, he bowed ninety degrees to Ye Jiaying, very formally.
Ye Jiaying quickly waved her hand, signaling him not to be so polite.
He straightened up and bowed to Grandma Sun again.
"Thank you for taking care of my father."
On the phone, Mr. Zhang Hongying mentioned the two people who helped him the most, so Zhang Wen immediately expressed his gratitude to them.
After expressing his gratitude, Mr. Zhang took his son to wash his face and then sat at the table in the yard.
Now that Mr. Zhang and my father have come to see me, I must go back.
Before going back, Zhang Wen took his father to the hospital for a full-body check-up.
It was Ye Jiaying who suggested it.
After all, it was a brain injury. Although it looks normal now, I still need to go and see a doctor. In case there is still bruise, it can be treated in time.
Fortunately, the results were all good. The physical examination showed that everything was normal. It was just that over the past year, I had been eating one meal a day and skipping the next, which caused some malnutrition and some stomach problems. I just needed to take good care of myself in the future.
