Chapter 68 Yes, I'm back.
Chapter 68 Yes, I'm back.
The next day, Zhao Yuan drove Zhou Jiefang and Zhao Jieyuan to the county town.
Zhao Yuan first took Zhou Jiefang and Zhao Jieyuan to the Transportation Bureau to complete the formalities. Zhou Jiefang and Zhao Jieyuan stayed behind to learn how to use the tractor, while Zhao Yuan drove the tractor back to the courtyard.
Zhao Yuan parked the tractor and went to Uncle Zhong's house, where Fan Bo was already waiting.
Zhao Yuan gently pushed open the courtyard gate and walked into the small courtyard.
Just then, Aunt Zhong, who was pumping water in the yard, heard the noise, looked up, and when she saw Zhao Yuan, her face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. She rushed towards him, excitedly calling out, "Feng Zai, Feng Zai, you're finally back!"
However, Uncle Zhong, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and stepped forward to try to stop Aunt Zhong, who was in agitation, and said anxiously, "Hua Hua, that's not Feng Zai."
But Zhao Yuan smiled and waved to Uncle Zhong, indicating that he didn't need to stop Aunt Zhong. So, Uncle Zhong had no choice but to stop and watch helplessly as Aunt Zhong rushed up to Zhao Yuan.
Aunt Zhong held Zhao Yuan's hands tightly, as if afraid he would disappear if she let go. She gently stroked his palms with trembling fingers, murmuring to herself:
"Fengzi, where have you been? Why haven't you come home for so long?"
Zhao Yuan gazed quietly at the elderly man before him, who was ill from longing, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He responded gently, "Yes, I'm back." After saying that, he let Aunt Zhong continue to hold his hand, feeling the deep affection between them.
Fan Bo, standing to the side, curiously circled Zhao Yuan a few times, looking him up and down, before leaning close to Uncle Zhong and whispering:
“Uncle Zhong, take a closer look. Zhao Yuan and Feng Zai really do look a bit alike.”
After Fan Bo's reminder, Uncle Zhong also began to carefully examine Zhao Yuan. After a moment of observation, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Oh dear, now that you mention it, they do have some similarities."
Zhao Yuan stood silently in the middle of the courtyard, letting Aunt Zhong stare at him intently. After a while, Uncle Zhong finally spoke to Aunt Zhong, "Hua Hua, let's go and take care of the important business first."
Everyone took Aunt Zhong to the property management office to complete the formalities and helped Uncle Zhong deposit the money in the bank. Then everyone took Aunt Zhong home together.
All the way, Aunt Zhong held Zhao Yuan's hand, just like a child holding his parents' hand, afraid that if he let go, he would lose him. Zhao Yuan also let Aunt Zhong hold his hand and would respond to her from time to time.
Zhao Yuan explained the precautions to Uncle Zhong during the recent house repairs, and planned to repair the house where Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong lived as well. Uncle Zhong initially declined, but could not resist Zhao Yuan's good intentions and Fan Bo's persuasion, and decided to repair it together.
Zhao Yuan suggested that Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong move to Zhao Yuan's courtyard during the house renovation, but Uncle Zhong was worried that Aunt Zhong would not be able to adapt, so he decided to continue living in his own house. During the house renovation, Zhou Jiefang also lived in the courtyard with Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong and ate together.
"Mom, I have to go to work. I'll come back to see you later."
Zhao Yuan told Aunt Zhong, and Aunt Zhong finally let go of Zhao Yuan's hand.
"Going to work is good. Remember to come home."
"Okay, I'll remember to come home."
Zhao Yuan said.
After settling things with Uncle Zhong, Zhao Yuan went with Fan Bo to the village to hire wall painters and bricklayers to collect roof tiles.
After working until mid-morning, Zhao Yuan finally finished arranging everything in the courtyard and then rushed off to Tengfei Fireworks Export Company.
Zheng Ziqi, Yang Fushan, and Lu Tiejun were all in the company and had already drawn many outer packaging designs according to Zhao Yuan's requirements. Zhao Yuan checked them one by one, but none of them satisfied him; they didn't have the feel he wanted.
Zheng Ziqi called several graphic designers from the printing factory, and Zhao Yuan described to them the content he wanted to show on the outer packaging of each series, but this kind of thing is somewhat more about meaning than description.
Several graphic designers worked for a long time and produced a large number of images, but none of them satisfied Zhao Yuan.
Even after trying, Zhao Yuan couldn't come up with any inspiration. He told Zheng Ziqi that they should put the packaging project on hold for the time being, since they could finalize the draft by the beginning of next month anyway. So they would see if they could come up with any inspiration in a while, and at the same time continue to look for people.
Zhao Yuan had no choice but to go to the Transportation Bureau to take the tractor driving test. After a morning of learning, when Zhao Yuan arrived at the Transportation Bureau, Zhao Jieyuan was already driving the tractor around the square, quite skillfully. Zhou Jiefang was sitting under the shade of a tree nearby, watching Zhao Jieyuan drive the tractor.
Zhao Yuan parked the tractor and walked over.
"Jiefang, how's your studies going?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
"Brother Zhao, I'm done with my work and have learned enough. I should be fine now."
Zhou Jiefang looked at Zhao Yuan and said.
Zhao Jieyuan parked the tractor in front of Zhao Yuan and the others, turned off the engine, and then jumped off the tractor.
"Zhaoyuan, you're here. Shall we go on another round of the Liberation Army?"
"Hmm. You drove quite well."
Zhao Yuan said.
Zhou Jiefang had already walked to the front of the tractor, inserted the crank into the front of the tractor, and cranked it. With a rumble, the tractor started up. Zhou Jiefang climbed into the driver's seat and started the tractor around the square. After two laps, the instructor waved to Zhou Jiefang to stop.
Zhou Jiefang stopped the tractor, turned off the engine, and then got off the tractor.
Coach Su waved to Zhao Yuan and the others, signaling them to come over together.
Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jieyuan also went over.
"Now we'll begin the test. You'll drive around this square twice, starting the tractor normally and parking it correctly."
Coach Su gave some more instructions.
Then Zhao Yuan took the test first, and of course, passed it easily. Zhao Jieyuan and Zhou Jiefang also passed the test on their first try. The three of them got their driver's licenses and went back to Uncle Zhong's courtyard. They dropped Zhou Jiefang off at Uncle Zhong's courtyard and prepared to prepare a room for Zhou Jiefang to stay in.
Zhao Yuan stood at the door and explained the situation of Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong to Zhou Jiefang and Zhao Jieyuan.
The door was ajar.
Zhao Yuan gently pushed the door open and went inside.
Aunt Zhong was overjoyed to see that it was Zhao Yuan who had returned.
"Fung is back."
"Yes, I'm back. This is Zhou Jiefang, and this is Zhao Jieyuan. They are both my friends."
Zhao Yuan answered happily.
"Okay, shall we have dinner together?"
Aunt Zhong happily began to entertain everyone.
"Mom, I'm not eating today. We have things to do. We'll come back for dinner in a few days. I'm cleaning out a room for Zhou Jiefang to stay with us for a few days. I have to go on a business trip for a few days, so I won't be home for the next few days."
Zhao Yuan said to Aunt Zhong.
"Okay, work is important, you go and get back to work."
Aunt Zhong said.
At this moment, Aunt Zhong's eyes seemed normal, and there was nothing abnormal about them.
Uncle Zhong stood in front of the kitchen, looking at everything before him, his eyes filled with tears.
Aunt Chung has never been so happy since her son's accident. From Uncle Chung's perspective, Zhao Yuan really does look a lot like their Feng Zai.
“Fengzai, your friend is staying in this room.”
Aunt Zhong led Zhao Yuan to a room.
