In this paper, we mainly prove the following conjectures of Z.-W. Sun (J. Number Theory 133 (2013), 2914–2928): let $p>2$
be a prime. If $p=x^2+3y^2$
with $x,y\in \mathbb {Z}$
and $x\equiv 1\ ({\rm {mod}}\ 3)$
, then\[ x\equiv\frac14\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(3k+4)\frac{f_k}{2^k}\equiv\frac12\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(3k+2)\frac{f_k}{({-}4)^k}\ ({\rm{mod}}\ p^2), \]and if $p\equiv 1\pmod 3$
, then\[ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{f_k}{2^k}\equiv\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{f_k}{({-}4)^k}\ ({\rm{mod}}\ p^3), \]where $f_n=\sum _{k=0}^n\binom {n}k^3$
stands for the $n$
th Franel number.

We express the number of points on the Dwork hypersurface
$X_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{d}:x_{1}^{d}+x_{2}^{d}+\cdots +x_{d}^{d}=d\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}x_{1}x_{2}\cdots x_{d}$ over a finite field of order 
$q\not \equiv 1\,(\text{mod}\,d)$ in terms of McCarthy’s 
$p$-adic hypergeometric function for any odd prime 
$d$.
