Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 194 Returning

On October 10, Yunshu, Xiazhi and Yunpeng boarded the train back to Chengdu early. This was the day Yunshu returned home.

Yun's father and mother had already taken leave to entertain their new son-in-law at home. The couple estimated the time and waited at the door of the tube building. It seemed that the blooming hibiscus next to them was about to wither, and then they saw the shadows of Yun Shu and the other two.

Yunmu greeted him enthusiastically.

Father Yun, turn around and go home.

Father Yun...there is no reason for a father-in-law to wait for a lousy son-in-law!

"Xiazhi, come in and sit down." Yunmu saw that her daughter looked rosy and energetic, without any bad emotions on her face, and knew that her daughter was living happily in her new home. She was already 80% satisfied with Xiazhi, and now she was 100% satisfied.

She asked Xia Zhi to sit down, and then took Yun Shu to the kitchen. On the first day of her son-in-law's visit, fried eggs were a must. She had something else to tell Yun Shu alone.

The three grown men were left staring at each other. Father Yun spoke first: "Well, Xia Zhi, when are you leaving?"

Xia Zhi’s eyes widened.

Xia Zhi: I just arrived and my father-in-law is chasing me away?

Yunpeng saw that his father had said something wrong, so he tried to make amends: "Brother-in-law, Dad is asking when you will leave for the army?"

Father Yun...well, it’s the first time his son-in-law comes to visit, so he should be nervous too, okay?

Father Yun smiled and nodded: "Yes, have you set a date?"

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, my father-in-law had no intention of chasing me away.

"We plan to leave on the fifth of next month."

"Do we need to change trains in Chengdu?"

"need."

……

Conversations between men, especially those who are not familiar with each other, are all like this, dry and not interesting at all.

On the other hand, the conversation between Yunmu and Yunshu was more interesting.

"Yunshu, how do Xiazhi's family treat you?"

"good."

"How is the Summer Solstice treating you?"

"is acceptable."

"Is that harmonious?"

"which aspect?"

"In that respect?"

……

Xia Zhi and Yun Shu had already planned to stay in Rongcheng for one night and return to Shizishan tomorrow. Since they were not in a hurry, after a hearty lunch, Yun Shu and Xia Zhi went to Rongcheng Middle School to distribute wedding candies to a few former colleagues who they still got along well with.

It was Xia Zhi who instigated this matter, and for this purpose, he even put on a brand new military uniform.

The old man guarding the door recognized Yunshu and readily let him into the school.

Xia Zhi smiled and stuffed a handful of wedding candy into the old man's hands. "Uncle, this is Yun Shu and I's wedding candy. It's for your little grandson to enjoy."

The old man was so happy that he kept complimenting them, saying, "What a handsome man, a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven! May you have a baby soon!" ...

Xia Zhi was so happy that he smiled.

It was already class time, and Yun Shu came to the teacher's office as if he knew the place well.

"Ah! Yunshu is here!"

"Didn't you say you were getting married? Is this your man?"

"Oh, this guy is a soldier. Hey, his rank is not low. He has a bright future!"

In the office, several teachers were preparing lessons. Suddenly, they saw Yun Shu bringing people over and came forward to watch.

"Hello, teachers. I'm Xia Zhi. I just got married to Yun Shu. Yun Shu always thinks about how your colleagues took care of her, so I wanted to come and thank them. This is our wedding candy. Take it back and give it to your children at home to sweeten their mouths."

Xia Zhi opened the bag he brought, and it was filled with candies. He put a handful of candies on each desk, without favoring any over any.

The teachers who had spread Yunshu's gossips felt a little embarrassed when they saw the half pound of wedding candy that Yunshu gave out.

Of course, there are also people who are optimistic about Yunshu and do not follow the crowd.

"Young man, you have good taste. Yunshu is a good girl. She is responsible and conscientious at work. She has a good personality. No one dislikes her!"

"Yeah! We all like her. She's the life of our office."

"Yun Shu is so gentle..."

"The students Yunshu teaches are excellent."

……

After Yunshu got married, her past seemed to have turned into smoke and disappeared. Those malicious speculations and criticisms seemed to have never existed. The rest were compliments and praises. Yunshu seemed to understand the purpose of Xiazhi's visit, and her eyes were a little wet. She looked at Xiazhi and couldn't help but sigh, this is the man she chose!

Xia Zhi held Yun Shu's hands tightly, giving her endless strength.

"Yunshu, why did you resign?" The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and a female teacher in her twenties came in from outside. She ran to Yunshu quickly, eager to know the truth of the matter.

"Cough, cough." Xia Zhi saw that the female teacher was talking to Yun Shu on her own, ignoring him and ignoring his existence, so he couldn't help but cough twice.

Yun Shu glared at Xia Zhi.

The female teacher saw Xia Zhi and took her hand back out of embarrassment. "Hello, my name is Wang Lili, and I'm Yun Shu's good friend." She was generous and open.

"Xia Zhi, Yun Shu's new husband."

Wang Lili nodded and turned to Yunshu: "Why did you leave so suddenly? Did you find a new job?" Wang Lili was one of Yunshu's few friends. Yunshu and Xiazhi's wedding was arranged in a hurry, and she didn't find a chance to tell Wang Lili!

Seeing that several teachers were listening attentively, Xia Zhi deliberately said loudly: "When Yunshu and I get married, we will go to the army. You can find a job there. Even if you don't work, I, Yang Xia Zhi, can support you. Whether you are teaching or raising children at home, you are contributing to the four modernizations of the motherland!"

"I didn't expect this guy to be so eloquent!"

Some teachers began to whisper, "Teacher Yun's husband is great! He is qualified to accompany the army at such a young age, his rank is not low!"

"So, someone must have spread rumors about Yunshu. If there is something wrong with her work style, she won't even pass the political review."

"Yes! Yes! Who made up this nonsense?"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's right, that's right. If it's not Yunshu's fault, then it must be that person's fault..."

"Yeah, they were dating for several years, and then they broke up! Let me think, when did they break up? Eh? When was the day when Teacher Lin got married..."

"It's really scary! This Teacher Lin is so seamless! I wonder if he is Chen Shimei..."

"Oh, why didn't I think of that before..."

The teachers in the office were staring at Lin Yuan's desk and talking. Xia Zhi had already left with Yun Shu and Wang Lili.
