Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

After hearing this, Feng De was even more unsure whether he should continue to help them transport the food back.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Shen Qingqing carried the food back to Wu Chou's house. Feng De had no choice but to follow, while Wang Xin and Zheng Xuan chattered about the scenery behind them.

Zhang Yun rode a slightly worn-out bicycle and rushed towards home. He had been living like this for the past few years. Since Tiezhu and Yu Congcong went to school, he had been responsible for delivering goods back and forth by himself.

Later, the soy sauce business switched to a cooperative model, and he took on all the sales work. With the convenience of sales, he also mixed in the black market, making more and more money, and his desire for money was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.

He sent Yaya to school, but for some reason Yaya just didn't like to study. He had no choice but to leave her at home and let Tiezhu and Yu Congcong take time to help him teach her basic knowledge such as reading.

Yu Congcong did say that Yaya was very smart and knew everything she taught her. Yaya had basically mastered all the knowledge in junior high school. Yu Congcong also advised him that if Yaya didn't want to go, it was fine, because she couldn't go to college anyway.

Yu Congcong thought that Yaya had already learned the knowledge of junior high and high school, and she only needed to take the college entrance examination in the 70s. It didn’t matter whether she went to school or not.

These days, Zhang Yun missed Yaya more and more. He could not help but speed up and pedaled hard to rush home.

He saw a strange man walking into his house from a distance at the intersection. Zhang Yun was extremely anxious, and rushed into the yard like a gust of wind, stopped in front of Feng De and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

"Ah!" When Feng De saw a stranger asking this question, he was unable to react for a moment.

"I asked you why you came to my house?" Zhang Yun repeated.

"I live here!" Feng De answered subconsciously.

"Oh, my name is Feng De. I'm an educated youth. I just arrived in the village today. Hou Bao and your sister and I rented your house." Feng De reacted and replied quickly.

"You are an educated youth, what about my sister?"

"I don't know either. I just got back. I'll go ask Hou Bao."

"Hou Bao, Hou Bao." Feng De shouted loudly.

Hou Bao went to the backyard to get firewood. Hearing Feng De's anxious shout, he put down the firewood in his hand and ran towards the front yard like a gust of wind.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Hou Bao came to the front yard and saw that Feng De was fine, nothing unusual happened. "What are you talking about? You are fine, why are you calling so anxiously?" Hou Bao was so angry that he even said something stupid.

"It's not me who is anxious, it's this comrade. This comrade asked where his sister had gone." Feng De hurriedly explained.

"Hello! What is this comrade's name?" Hou Bao greeted Zhang Yun politely with a smile on his face.

"Hello! My name is Zhang Yun, and I'm Yaya's brother." Zhang Yun looked at Hou Bao's smiling face and responded politely.

"You are Yaya's brother, you are really as handsome as Yaya said." Hou Bao said, and then he remembered Feng De's question. So he continued to answer: "Oh, Yaya said she was going to sister Congcong's house. Her sister Congcong left her an egg cake. She was going to eat it with Yu Miaomiao."

"Oh, I understand. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go pick up Yaya. We'll talk when I come back." After saying that, Zhang Yun got on his bike again and left quickly.

Feng De looked at Zhang Yun who was rushing back and forth, and couldn't help but sighed: "He is too fast, how can he pedal a bicycle like a Hot Wheels!"

Hou Bao looked at Feng De, feeling speechless. He was really troubled by Feng De's heartlessness. "Are you still going to help transport the food?"

"Well, I was scolded by Shen Qingqing. She scolded me, and in the end, she seemed to be angry herself." Feng De muttered in confusion.

Hou Bao glanced at Feng De and almost wanted to roll his eyes. I just think it's a waste of words to talk too much to your stupid head. In the end, Hou Bao said nothing and turned to the backyard to continue doing his own things.

Zhang Yun came to Yu Congcong's house, gently opened the door, stepped into the yard, and saw Liu Dani at a glance. With a bright smile on his face, he greeted her warmly, "Aunt Dani, what are you busy with?"

Liu Dani heard the voice and slowly raised her head. Seeing that it was Zhang Yun, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes. She said with a smile: "Zhang Yun, you are back. Did you have a smooth journey this time?"

"Well, it went quite smoothly." Zhang Yun replied with a smile.

"Are you here to look for Congcong or to pick up Yaya?" Without waiting for Zhang Yun to answer, Liu Dani continued, "They are eating egg cakes in the house. Come in quickly. Maybe they can give you a piece."

"Then I'm in for a treat. I have to go and try it." Zhang Yun joked and quickened his pace.

"Go ahead!" Liu Dani responded with a smile.

Zhang Yun parked his bike and walked quickly towards the main hall. This main hall was built after Yu Congcong made money. There were three spacious rooms added, and with the main hall, there were four rooms in total, which looked particularly grand. In the backyard, a row of four slightly shorter rooms were added to serve as a utility room, where soy sauce and various pickles that Yu Congcong prepared were stored.

Zhang Yun walked into the main room and saw Yu Congcong sharing an egg cake with the two children. Yaya held a piece of egg cake carefully in her little hands and savored it in small bites. Yu Miaomiao was different. He stuffed his mouth full, like a cute little squirrel. Yu Congcong was not in a hurry, chewing in small bites elegantly, and he looked very peaceful.

Zhang Yun stared at Yu Congcong quietly, his eyes gradually becoming absent-minded, attracted by her unique temperament.

Yu Congcong suddenly felt that the light in the room seemed to dim. She looked up in confusion and looked towards the door. When she saw Zhang Yun, a happy smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she said happily: "Zhang Yun, you are back, come and try this egg cake. I made it, it's just out of the oven, it's so soft!"

"Okay, I'll try it. It must be delicious." Zhang Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and he responded softly.

He looked at Yu Congcong carefully and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She really grew up and her face gradually blossomed, like a flower in bud, delicate and lovable. He didn't know since when, Yu Congcong's position in his heart had become as important as his sister.

Zhang Yun slowly reached out his hand, took the egg cake handed over by Yu Congcong, then lowered his head and took a bite. In this brief moment, he secretly adjusted his mood. Then, he raised his head, his face was filled with smiles, and praised: "It's really delicious."
