Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

After the spring planting was completed, the villagers began to plant sweet potatoes without stopping.

The rain was falling continuously, so the team leader asked the team members to take the sweet potato vines home and prune them.

Qiuguo was well-behaved and helped Chunni cut the sweet potato vines at home. Xiazhi saw that it was raining heavily outside, and his face was filled with joy. He put on a straw raincoat and took a basket and went out.

The rain was heavy, and the rain slowly flowed down from the high part of Lion Mountain to the low part, causing the farmland around Lion Mountain to be flooded. The rice that had just been planted in the water could not withstand the erosion of the rain.

The team leader directed the strong laborers in the village to open up the gaps in the paddy fields so that the water in the fields could flow to lower places.

The young boys in the village rushed to the various openings, carrying baskets or backpacks from their homes, chasing each other, laughing and making noises, as if it were New Year's Day.

In order to grab a piece of good terrain, Xia Zhi fought with Li Long, the third son of the Li family.

At first it was just a simple fight, but then the war of words escalated to parents and elders, and it got out of control.

The death of his parents is an untouchable pain in Xia Zhi's heart. Even if he pretends to be mature, Xia Zhi is still just a child and cannot stand others saying anything bad about his parents.

The two green-hook kids started fighting.

Li Long is the only grandchild of the Li family at the entrance of Shizi Village. He has been spoiled by Grandma Li since he was a child. She was afraid that he would melt if she held him in her mouth, and afraid that he would fall if she held him in her hands.

In this era of hunger, he was plump and round, and those who didn't know him would think that his family was well-off, with at least two of his children eating government food. Of course, if you didn't see his three skinny sisters.

Although Li Long is fat, he is not very flexible because he does not work often, so he can only tie with the thin Xia Zhi.

As soon as the fight started, some acquaintances went to call their parents from home.

The old lady of the Li family, who lived nearby, rushed over first.

At this time, the rain gradually stopped.

The two children had been separated by the adults who had arrived.

But when she saw the slap mark on her grandson's face, Old Lady Li couldn't stand it anymore. She turned around and glared at Xia Zhi, feeling like there was a flame in her heart, with nowhere to vent.

"Oh, there are red marks on Li Long's fair face!" Someone said in a neutral tone, not thinking it was a big deal.

Old Mrs. Li was instantly furious. She picked up the wooden stick in the basket next to her and rushed towards Xia Zhi with great momentum.

As for Chunni, she was still diligently cutting sweet potato vines at home!

When she heard that Xia Zhi had a fight with someone, she threw down her scissors and ran to the scene. Before she arrived, she heard the villagers talking about it.

And her younger brother Xia Zhi was being chased by Old Lady Li.

When Dong Lin saw Xia Zhi being beaten, he burst into tears.

Chunni felt extremely distressed, and hurriedly hugged Donglin and coaxed him softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry any more you will become a crybaby!"

Dong Lin was not so easy to appease. He pointed at Old Lady Li and said with a pursed mouth: "Beat, beat, beat brother."

"It's okay, Grandma Li is just joking with my brother!"

"Yang Xiazhi, you bastard, you second-rate guy, how dare you hit my grandson? I'll teach you a lesson!" Old Mrs. Li cursed as she chased him.

Xia Zhi was not stupid. Li Long was his peer and they grew up together, so he fought. It was normal for children to fight. But Granny Li was so old and of a higher generation. If she went against him, no one in the village would stand on her side. He would be wrong even if he was right! So one person ran away and the other chased.

"Grandma Li, don't chase me. I can't afford to pay for it if I fall! I didn't mean to fight with your grandson. You should ask him before you punish me."

Old Lady Li was so tired that she was out of breath. She knew that as an old woman, she could never catch up with a young man. She stopped, took off her shoes and threw them at Xia Zhi.

"I don't care what your reason is, you shouldn't hit my grandson. You're a jerk who was born by a mother but not raised by one!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell silent instantly.

"Old lady Li, don't expose someone's shortcomings. No matter what, you can't use someone's parents as an excuse!" An old lady from the Yang family finally stood up. She saw Xia Zhi's red eyes and was afraid that something might happen, so she hurried to pull Xia Zhi away.

Xia Zhi didn't run away anymore. He was stunned for a moment, shook off Second Grandma's hand, turned around and started beating Li Long again.

This time Xia Zhi got really ruthless and pinned Li Long down so that he couldn't move.

Old Mrs. Li was so angry when she saw her grandson being beaten and screaming that she picked up the wooden stick as thick as a bowl and smashed it at Xia Zhi.

At the critical moment, Chunni came and saw the wooden stick going directly towards Xiazhi's head. Her face changed instantly. Without any hesitation, Chunni put down Donglin and rushed over.

What followed was a loud shout from the crowd.

"what!"

Chunni was completely stunned, and then she was awakened by the pain and couldn't help moaning.

"Ouch, that hurts."
