"Are you leaving already? Why don't you stay a few more days? Don't you like mushrooms? If you stay a couple more days, the mushrooms will sprout again, and Grandma Qi will make them for you again, mushroom soup with noodles. I guarantee you'll want more after you eat them. Mushrooms aren't that rare in our countryside, but they're a rarity in the city. They're not easy to buy, and even if you have money, you can rarely get them."
After lunch, Li Bingchen didn't even have time to rest before rushing off. Madam Yun Qi was somewhat reluctant to see him go. Forget about Li Bingchen's help with their affairs, and even more so about the wheelbarrow he'd given them; it was just that this young master from a wealthy city family was so approachable, calling her "Grandma Qi" repeatedly, that she felt reluctant to part with him. Such a handsome and sweet-talking little boy—who could bear to part with him?
Hmm... the key is that she's beautiful, so cute! Even though she looks quite old, she's still like a delicately sculpted doll, as if she stepped out of a painting. Who wouldn't love her?
"Grandma Qi, thank you, but I really have to go. I have to get to the neighboring county tonight. I can't delay, otherwise... otherwise I won't be able to explain to my father." Li Bingchen said with some reluctance, holding a jar in his hands.
Li Bingchen was holding a honey jar from the Yun family. Yun Qishi scooped half a bowlful with a small bowl, then gave him the rest, jar and all.
Then there was Zhang Yang, who was carrying a rabbit. It was a rabbit that Yun Qishi couldn't bear to sell, saying she wanted to save it for Yun Duo to eat in a few days to help her recover. Yun Qishi also gave it to Li Bingchen. It was a rabbit Yun Qishi gave him because she felt sorry for Li Bingchen, a good young master, who was forced by his father to live on the farm, not eating or sleeping well. Li Bingchen originally didn't want it, but Yun Qishi insisted, and confidently said she could catch more later, and Yun Duo winked at him, so Li Bingchen finally let Zhang Yang accept it.
In truth, Li Bingchen was indeed craving meat. Zhang Yang, as his bodyguard, was exceptionally skilled; catching a pheasant or rabbit would be easy for him. However, the crucial point was that during his training, Zhang Yang, aside from protecting him and supervising him, couldn't interfere in his life, including his meals. He could only follow the farmers, eating whatever they ate. It was truly a miserable experience…
So, Li Bingchen only declined briefly before instructing Zhang Yang to take the rabbit that Grandma Qi had given him.
When giving the instructions, he emphasized the word "my".
Yun Qi was still reluctant to let him go. She gently pulled Li Bingchen's hand and said, "Oh, you child, you've helped us so much, even giving us such a big car. You've only just arrived, and you're leaving after just a short ride. Grandma Qi feels really bad about it. Why don't you listen to Grandma Qi and leave tomorrow? Go and rest for a while, and in the afternoon, you and Duo'er can go find mushrooms. In the evening, Grandma Qi can make you mushroom noodle soup, and then have your Grandpa Yun go and get some meat to cook together. I guarantee you'll like it."
Li Bingchen deliberately smacked his lips and said with a smile, "Grandma Qi, after hearing you say that, I really don't want to leave. But, there's really no other way... How about you cook for me again when I come back? I promise I'll come back one more time before I go home. Then I'll ask my father to let me stay here for a couple more days. What do you say?"
