Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Although the road from the county town to Lion Mountain is wide, there are many mud pits and rocks, and passers-by who appear from time to time make the bicycle bounce around.

Chunni chose to pinch the man's white shirt instead of hugging him.

He Yanqing pursed his lips tightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

The two were not happy to meet each other again, but instead became silent.

He Yanqing drove Chunni back to Shizishan Village, shocking all the villagers.

"Oh, He Zhiqing is back!"

"Hey, isn't this He Zhiqing?"

"Wow, what's wrong with Chunni's foot?"

"Hey, He Zhiqing, how did you run into Chunni?"

……

After finally arriving at Chunni's new home, He Yanqing carefully helped Chunni sit down in the yard and said, "The villagers are still so welcoming."

Chunni felt a little gloating.

Not everyone can afford the enthusiasm of the villagers.

She asked He Yanqing to sit down and directed him to pour water.

He Yanqing looked around and said, "Your courtyard has white walls and gray tiles, and lush flowers and trees. It must have been built for a long time, right?"

“It was built three years ago.”

The two fell into a strange silence again. Just when Chunni wanted to say something, the old lady pushed open the door. She saw He Yanqing was there too, smiled at him as a joke, and looked at Chunni anxiously and said, "I heard from your second cousin that your foot was injured?"

She walked closer, saw more clearly, and said, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You don't need to cook during this time. I'll ask your sister-in-law to bring it to you."

"Auntie, there's nothing serious wrong with my foot. It's just a slight sprain. It will be healed in two days." Chunni explained hurriedly.

The old lady was relieved and turned to He Yanqing and said, "He Zhiqing, thank you for sending Chunni back. By the way, did you have lunch?"

Chunni and He Yanqing looked at each other, they really forgot to eat. It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned it, but now that they did, they felt a little hungry.

Chunni had always gotten along well with the old man's family. She looked at the old lady affectionately and said, "Hey, I really haven't eaten yet. I'm a little hungry."

The old lady saw the two people's expressions and knew that they were hungry. She said with concern: "Don't worry, I will go back and cook it now. I will bring it to you in a while."

At this time, Yang Bangming also came over. He looked at Chunni's feet with concern. Then he sat down and said to He Yanqing: "He Zhiqing, when did you come back?"

He Yanqing sensed Yang Bangming's inexplicable hostility, smiled and said: "I am working at Tuo County People's Hospital now. I just came back and settled down, otherwise I would have come back to Lion Mountain a long time ago."

"That's great. I heard that Sun Erge's wife Tao Xiuhua is also in the hospital. Have you met her?"

"Of course, we are all acquaintances. She is also an educated youth who responded to the call to go to the countryside."

"Did you just graduate, or did you change jobs?" Yang Bangming was curious.

"The major I studied requires six years of study. That's why I came out to work..."

The two chatted casually, and He Yanqing got to know Chunni's situation thoroughly.

Chunni is very good, she was able to get into a good university by self-study; Chunni is smart, she finished four years of university in three years; Chunni's current plan...

The most important thing is that Chunni doesn’t have a partner yet.

This made He Yanqing raise the corners of his lips.

From the perspective of a person who has experienced this, Yang Bangming believes that He Yanqing's motives are obviously not pure, so he is also concerned about his personal problems.

The two strangers actually got along very well because of Chunni.

Soon the old lady brought the food. Chunni was very hungry and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

After that, He Yanqing would go back to Lion Rock from time to time. He seemed to have returned to the days when he was an educated youth, but he knew very clearly that things were different and some things had changed.

Chunni only sprained her foot and was able to move freely within a few days.
