Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 141 Talk

When Old Master Chu got serious, he was still quite intimidating. He asked He Yanqing, who was washing dishes, in a serious tone: "Xiao He, you work in Tuo County, where are your parents and family?"

He Yanqing was silent for a while before saying, "My mother has passed away, and my father has remarried and started a new family. I moved my sister and my household registration to Tuo County, and we will not be returning to Chengdu for the time being."

Old Master Chu listened carefully and thought that this kid might have had a falling out with his family. Otherwise, he would come out to work, move his household registration out, and bring his sister along.

"So how old is your sister and where is she?"

"My sister's name is He Yanning. She is one year younger than Qiu Guo and is studying at a university in Rongcheng."

"Then will your father and your stepmother still care about you?" Old Master Chu has seen too many remarried families. Some of the later wives are not very good to the children left by the previous wife. He is a little afraid that the stepmother will abuse Chunni in the name of the mother-in-law.

"Don't worry, my dad won't care about me anymore, not to mention my stepmother."

That's right, Xiao He is already working, and his father can't control him even if he wants to. If other parents look at He Yanqing's family, they will hesitate whether to marry their daughter. But Old Master Chu's thinking is different. There are no parents-in-law to serve, and no difficult sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. This is a perfect candidate for a husband! Old Master Chu is very satisfied.

Okay, family is just an additional condition, so let’s talk about the main point.

"How come you're dating Chunni?"

Dr. He's thick skin, which was as thick as iron sheet due to his welcoming and seeing off guests, turned red! How could this old man be so direct and not subtle at all?

He had to think carefully about how to answer this question. What did the old man see? He Yanqing's mind flashed with the gloating faces of his colleagues when they knew Chunni had found her grandparents, and the different suggestions given by each person.

He Yanqing shuddered inadvertently.

Old Master Chu is quite old, he won't believe you saying that he is marrying his granddaughter to you just because of love. In his eyes, love is useless, not worth eating or wearing. So, what does he want to hear?

"When I first met Chunni, I was still an educated youth in Shizishan. At that time, Chunni had to shoulder the burden of the family because her parents died early. We happened to go to Shizishan to find food. People at that time became numb and dull because of hunger and poverty, but Chunni was not like that. She was so lively and interesting. She was like a ray of light shining into my life. From then on, my life was no longer boring black and white, but became colorful."

Old Master Chu couldn't stand Xiao He's sudden confession. Young people nowadays dare to say anything!

It was also due to He Yanqing's original family. Although his mother was still alive at that time, his father and even his father's family were not good to his mother and her two children. This kind of badness was not to mistreat him in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities, nor was it to abuse him with words or beat him. It was indifference, or in other words, indifference. This made He Yanqing feel very depressed, so he went to the countryside and escaped from the home that made it difficult for him to breathe. He Yanqing looks sunny and cheerful, but he is very lonely and indifferent in his heart. His family made him erect a high wall in his heart. He couldn't get out, and others couldn't get in. He seemed to be able to talk to everyone, but there were very few people who were close to him. Of course, Chunni who came later was one of them.

"We met often, and I was gradually attracted to Chunni. She was braver and more responsible than me. She was able to take care of her younger siblings at a young age and earn money for their education. I was also inspired by her and took my younger sister with me to be independent after being assigned a job. Later, we naturally got together."

I don't know where the love comes from, but it is so deep.

"As the eldest in the family, Chunni will not leave her younger siblings alone even if she gets married. What do you think about this?" Last night, when Yang Andang was drunk, he leaned over to Old Man Chu and told him a lot about Chunni's difficulties. What made him most angry was that many people were optimistic about Chunni, but looked down on her three burdens. What burdens? Xiazhi was a soldier, and the army will take care of him in the future; Qiuguo was admitted to university, and he will be assigned a job after graduation, so he doesn't need to put in much effort; as for the clever and cute Donglin, he is well-behaved and obedient, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

Where can those people find such a worry-free burden!

Old Master Chu was still brooding over his ignorant eldest daughter. If she hadn't left, Chunni's marriage wouldn't have been so difficult!

"I also have a younger sister to support. Don't blame anyone." He Yan had thought about this problem long ago. He had a formal job and Chunni earned a lot, so supporting a few younger siblings was not a problem.

He Yanqing then talked about his original family, "I don't like that family. I don't want to be like my father. There are three thousand rivers, but I only drink from one. I only drink from Chunni's one."

Old man Chu got goosebumps all over his body and snorted coldly, "How much is sincerity worth? Since you two are already in a relationship, I won't be the villain who breaks up lovers. But boy, if you dare to treat Chunni badly, hmph!"

"I dare not, I dare not, my feelings for Chun Ni are clear to me."

"Forget it, it's not easy for you to be together, so cherish the time you have together."

He Yanqing knew that this was Old Master Chu's tacit approval of their relationship, and he was so excited that his face lit up with joy. This scene was seen by Old Lady Chu, who loved her grandson-in-law so much that she couldn't help but tease, "You're smiling so brightly. Little He must have found a treasure!"

"I have found a treasure, it is priceless. By the way, grandma, when are we going to go back home? Should we wait a few days?"

Old Mrs. Chu was very experienced. As soon as she heard this, she knew that Xiao He had some ideas. "We have come here for so many years, so just wait a few days!"

He Yanqing was working hard to get married, so how could he not serve her when encountering such a matter? He said, "Okay, I have a day off next Sunday, so I'll go with you then."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Mrs. Chu agreed readily. She was not as easy to coax as the old man. No matter how clever she was, it was better to do something well.

Talking without doing is just empty talk; practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

She wanted to take a good look at this son-in-law to see if he was qualified on behalf of her daughter who passed away young!

He Yanqing stayed at Chunni's house until mid-afternoon before returning. Chunni also had to go to the county town, so she went with him.
