Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 179 Guan Jian and Chu Hua

Guan Jian is an excellent person, as he has reached his current position in his 40s. However, it is also unbelievable that such an excellent person has never married in his life.

Some people speculate that Guan Jian may be a homosexual who likes men but cannot be with them due to worldly views. There are also rumors that Guan Jian's first love married someone, but the groom was not him. He saw through the world and decided to work with him, vowing to serve the motherland and the people. Others say that Guan Jian already had an illegitimate child, but his family disagreed, so they just dragged it on.

No matter what people say, Guan Jian is a golden bachelor in his forties.

Ever since the golden bachelor saw Chu Hua, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Little sister, you are here too?"

Chu Hua: My niece is having a baby, shouldn't I come? You shouldn't come!

Chu Hua had seen big scenes before, so how could he not see the little thoughts hidden under Guan Jian's sparkling eyes? But he understood it, but he didn't want to pay attention to it in his heart, so he casually replied, "Yeah."

Guan Jian was very excited. But in public, it was difficult to talk to Chu Hua about such a profound question as how high the moon was. He had to wait patiently for the next opportunity.

Of course, opportunities are created by people. Just two weeks later, Guan Jian came to Tuo County again for work.

The unit arranged accommodation for him, but he directly refused.

"I have a relative who lives in Lion Rock. I'd like to take this opportunity to visit him." So he went to the door carrying some fruit, milk powder and snacks.

"Uncle Chu, you've been living in Tuo County for such a long time, but I don't know where you live. This is really wrong. This is a rare opportunity, so I came to bother you. Please forgive me."

Old Master Chu knew what was going on, so he turned a blind eye and allowed Guan Jian to enter the house.

After not seeing you for a few years, Guan Jian seems to have become more thick-skinned!

How could Old Master Chu not know Guan Jian's thoughts? But no matter how outstanding his daughter was, she couldn't live alone until old age! So he agreed to it.

Chunni also saw some of the clues, but she didn't say anything. After all, love is a matter between two people, and if outsiders interfere too much, it will not be good.

Chunni didn't want to find out, but someone wanted her to know.

Old Mrs. Chu was shaking her rattle to tease Ci Ci, and she said to Chun Ni mysteriously, "Ni Er, do you know Uncle Guan?"

Mrs. Chu has something on her mind, and she can't help but speak it out! Well, Chunni is also very curious.

"Well, this story starts from when your aunt was a child."

It turned out that Guan Jian was right. He and the Chu siblings had indeed known each other since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts.

Guan Jian's parents have known the Chu family for half a century and have a deep friendship. The children of the two families have also played together since childhood. It is unknown when Chu Hua began to have such feelings for Guan Jian.

Mrs. Chu sighed, "Ever since your mother disappeared, I have loved your aunt even more. I don't know when she started to have such thoughts. When she saw Uncle Guan who came to look for your uncle, her face turned red like a persimmon. I thought she had reached puberty and would always be shy when seeing boys of the same age."

Chu Hua fell in love with Guan Jian. Guan Jian didn't realize it at that time, he just thought Chu Hua was a little sister from the neighbor's house. He teased Chu Hua as usual, catching caterpillars and putting them in Chu Hua's schoolbag. He made a bet with his classmates, cut Chu Hua's hair and threw it to the boys in the class. He snatched Chu Hua's lunch box...

Boys who are good at sports and playful are always liked by girls, and Chu Hua is one of them. There is another girl named He Zhaohua who also likes him very much. She used some tricks to make Guan Jian have to date him.

Chu Hua was disheartened and started dating a male classmate.

"Men grow up when they are told to. Chu Hua no longer looked for Guan Jian, but Guan Jian always felt that something was missing in his life and kept trying to get close to Chu Hua. But what position did he have? He could only watch Chu Hua find a partner, get married, and have children."

Guan Jian thought Chu Hua had found true love and had no intention of destroying their marriage.

"He never got married. His girlfriend kept urging him to get married, but it didn't shake his determination. Alas! The girl was about to hang herself to force him to get married, but then the movement came. Guan Jian was sent down to a farm in the northwest, and his girlfriend decisively got married."

Guan Jian was later rehabilitated and Chu Hua divorced.

"Guan Jian is a nice guy, and he knows everything about you. He told us a long time ago that he wanted to pursue your aunt, but your aunt...ah!"

Mrs. Chu was indeed worried. Her daughter had been divorced for more than ten years. There was no reason for her to stay with her ex-husband! He didn't deserve her! Why didn't she want to start over?

Hey! In short, Chu Hua liked Guan Jian when she was young, but Guan Jian ignored her. They missed each other perfectly in the ten years between them. Guan Jian liked Chu Hua when he was middle-aged, but Chu Hua didn't want to pay attention to him.

Chunni: This plot can be written into a novel, right?

"Let it be. I feel that Chu Hua didn't have a good impression of his last marriage, so he is a little cautious about relationships. My aunt is living a good life now."

Mrs. Chu said this not to ask Chunni to come up with any solution. She just needed someone to listen. Besides, it seemed that Guan Jian would come to Lion Rock often in the future, and Chunni had to know the reason. Family members should be honest with each other!

"Hey, I don't know what your aunt thinks."

What was Chu Hua thinking? She had had enough of her ex-husband's family. She had a car, a house, and savings, so why did she need a man?

Guan Jian could only return home in defeat, but knowing where the old couple of the Chu family lived, he would always come to Lion Rock from time to time to show his presence. It would be even better if he could meet Chu Hua every time he came.
