Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chunni's family lives a warm and cozy life, but there are constant quarrels in the village.

Not to mention the quarrels and fights caused by food shortages, the families who married educated youth really had dramas every day.

Take the Sun family mentioned above, for example. They caused trouble again today.

When Tao Xiuhua heard the news that the college entrance examination was resumed, she cried with joy.

She was born in a cadre family and was well brought up since childhood. If she had not gone to the countryside, or if she really could not stand the high-intensity farm work, she would never have married Sun Lao Er, and she would never have been bullied by the illiterate and fierce old woman Sun Lao Tai for more than ten years!

She was determined to return to the city, no matter what the cost.

However, just as she received the college entrance examination review materials sent by her parents, those books were hidden away.

That’s right, it was Old Lady Sun who instructed Tao Xiuhua’s ignorant daughter Zhihua to do it.

"Mom, please give me the college entrance examination review materials. They will be useful to me!" Tao Xiuhua has always been disdainful of arguing with Old Lady Sun, but this time it is different. This is her hope and her future!

"What's the use? Is it to start a fire?" Old Mrs. Sun would not admit it.

She was determined not to let Tao Xiuhua take the college entrance examination, fearing that she would grow wings and fly away and never come back.

"Zhihua has already told me, please give the things back to me!" Tao Xiuhua was more humble than ever before.

"I burned it!" Seeing that the truth was exposed, Old Mrs. Sun lied again.

"I don't believe it!" Tao Xiuhua went crazy and searched the yard, but didn't see a single book. She was so angry that she fainted.

The matter did not end there. After Tao Xiuhua woke up, she cut her wrists and committed suicide!

When Sun Laoer came back from the fields, he found Tao Xiuhua lying motionless on the bed, with blood all over the bed and the floor.

He carefully felt the breath of his wife Tao Xiuhua and found that she was still breathing. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Sun Laoer saw the blood on Tao Xiuhua's wrist still dripping down. His heart tightened, he muttered "My life", and hurriedly ran to the commune clinic with his wife in his arms.

Shengli Commune was two or three miles away from Shizishan Village, and it usually took only ten minutes to walk there. Sun Laoer carried Tao Xiuhua and walked very fast, and they arrived at the clinic in just a few minutes.

Fortunately, he discovered it in time and sent her to the hospital without delay, thus saving Tao Xiuhua's life.

Sun Laoer regretted deeply and felt extremely guilty.

He will always remember the scene of his first meeting with Tao Xiuhua.

That day, when he came back from the mountain, he happened to meet a group of educated youth who had just gone to the countryside.

He took a look, and his eyes seemed to be fixed, and he only saw the girl wearing a red cotton-padded jacket with flowered cloth and two big braids. She smiled so beautifully, like a fairy.

He was not worthy of her, and he never dared to hope that he could marry her.

But she unexpectedly married him. He knew that she was not very happy with him and married him just to avoid working. She married him just because he was honest and liked her, but even so, it was enough to make him ecstatic and willing.

She gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and he thought he could keep her.

But she wanted to leave. What should she do?

If he can't give her the life she wants, then let her go.

Having made up his mind, Sun Laoer took Tao Xiuhua home when the doctor confirmed that she could be discharged. He sent her into the house and turned to look for his mother.

"Mom, please return Xiuhua's book to her." Sun Laoer said in a firm tone.

Old Mrs. Sun's face was full of disbelief. Who was she doing this for? Was her son stupid?

"What if she gets into college and never comes back?" Old Mrs. Sun still wanted to ask her son if he knew what he was doing!

"If she passes the exam, she can leave if she wants to!" Sun Laoer was reluctant, but still supported Tao Xiuhua.

"You're a fool!" Looking at her son's appearance and knowing his plan, Old Lady Sun was a little angry at him for not fighting back, so she hit Old Sun's arm twice.

Sun Laoer said nothing and remained silent.

"I can raise Zhishu and Zhihua by myself. I don't want to be a burden to Xiuhua!"

Sun Laoer is also a sincere person.

Old Lady Sun looked at her son for a long time before she said, "How could I have given birth to such an infatuated child like you? Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I don't care anymore. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Old Mrs. Sun gave up. She did it for her youngest son, Sun Laoer. He didn't care who she was showing it to.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!

"I left the book with your sister. Go get it yourself!" Old Mrs. Sun went back to the house with a dejected look on her face.

Sun Laoer was happy, but he didn't know that his wife Tao Xiuhua was watching the whole process of him talking to his mother through the window of their room.

When Sun Laoer returned to the house and happily shared the good news with Tao Xiuhua, he found that his wife was already in tears.

"Xiuhua, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sun Laoer said his caring words without even thinking. Maybe it's because it has become a habit.

As for Tao Xiuhua, she just hugged Sun Laoer and cried without saying anything!

She just thought silently that even if she was admitted to university, she would not divorce. She couldn't bear to leave her child, nor could she bear to leave this rural man who was as dark as coal.

When Sun Laoer said those words to his mother, the image of Sun Laoer in her mind suddenly became taller.

He was no longer just her husband and the father of her children, he was also her lover, the one who would spend her life with her!

If Sun Lao Er knew this would be the result, would he be happy? It was also because Old Lady Sun took it for granted that Tao Xiuhua would abandon her husband and children. There are many Chen Shimeis in the world who are ruthless and unfaithful, and there are also many Wang Baochuans who are loyal and righteous!
