After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

"Shen Zhiqing! Shen Zhiqing! Xiao An and Xiao Le!"

The captain outside the yard was shouting loudly, and Shen Nian climbed up from the kang in a daze.

"Captain uncle is here!" Shen Nian'an's voice came from the next room.

Shen Nian wrapped himself in a thick cotton jacket, opened the door and went out. However, as soon as the two of them opened the door to the main room, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The snow in front of him was probably as high as Shen Nian's calves. Shen Nianle widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Why is the snow... falling so heavily?" Shen Nian'an was shocked. It was the first time he had seen such thick snow.

"There should have been a snowstorm last night?" Shen Nian hesitated to express his guess.

"Xiao An, can you hear me?" The captain's voice came again.

"Uncle Captain! I can hear it! I can hear it!" Shen Nian'an replied quickly.

"Okay, as long as you can hear me! I'm here to inform you that there was a snowstorm last night, so school will be closed! You and Xiaole shouldn't go to school today! Clear the snow in your yard later!"

"Okay! We got it, thank you, Captain!" Shen Nian'an also responded loudly.

The team leader gave a few more instructions before turning around and walking towards other houses. He first notified the families with students in school, and now he was going to notify the other families and ask each family to send someone out to clear the snow.

"Sister, shall we sweep the snow in the yard first?" Shen Nian'an said, looking at the white snow.

"Xiao An, go put on your cotton jacket and trousers first. It's cold outside."

As Shen Nian spoke, he picked up the shovel by the door and prepared to start clearing the snow.

Shen Nian'an obediently returned to the house, quickly changed into a thick cotton jacket and trousers, put on a hat and gloves, and wrapped himself tightly.

When he came out again, Shen Nian had already shoveled the snow in front of the main door to make a path.

"Sister, let me help you!"

Shen Nian'an picked up another shovel and started clearing the snow in the yard with Shen Nian.

After some effort, the snow in the yard was finally cleared. Shen Nian looked at the snow piled in the corner of the yard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiao An, go wake Xiao Le up, I'll make breakfast for you." Shen Nian said to Shen Nian'an with a smile.

Shen Nian'an nodded in agreement and turned to call Shen Nianle who was still in bed.

After breakfast, Shen Nian'an dragged Shen Nianle to the cowshed next door.

"Xiao An and Xiao Le are here, come to Grandpa quickly!"

Seeing the two little guys, Gu Aidan smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

"Grandpa Gu, good morning!"

Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle greeted him obediently, then ran to the old man.

"Grandpa Gu, did you sleep well last night? Is the cowshed okay with such heavy snow?" Shen Nian'an asked with concern.

"The cowshed is fine. It's very solid. No matter how heavy the snow is, it won't collapse." Grandpa Gu said with a smile, "But you guys, you better be careful on your way to school in such heavy snow."

"Captain Uncle said this morning that school is suspended today, so you don't have to go to school." Shen Nian'an explained.

"So are you here to attend classes with your Uncle Wang?" Gu Aidang asked, looking at the schoolbags the two people brought.

"Yes, Grandpa Gu, Uncle Wang said last time that he would check our homework and teach us new things." Shen Nian'an replied, his face full of anticipation.

Gu Aidang smiled and nodded. "Your Uncle Wang, Uncle Gu, and the team leader are out shoveling snow. They probably won't be back until the afternoon. Why don't you two go play with other kids in the village first, and then go to Uncle Wang for class after they come back."

When Shen Nian'an heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Shen Nian'an thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Gu, can we wait here for Uncle Wang to come back? We don't want to go out and play in the snow now."

Gu Aidan was very happy when he saw the two children were well-behaved and sensible.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let Grandpa Gu teach you today?"

When Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and they sat excitedly around Grandpa Gu.

Gu Aidang looked at the two children's expectant eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Then today Grandpa Gu will tell you two some stories about our older generation and teach you some common sense in life." Gu Aidian said with a smile.

Gu Aidan began to tell the story of his youth, the struggles and perseverance during those difficult years, and occasionally interspersed some self-rescue tips. Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle listened with great interest.

When the story got exciting, Gu Aidan even found some firewood and demonstrated it to the two of them.

Brother Shen Nian'an listened very carefully and raised his questions from time to time. Gu Aidan also patiently answered them one by one.

"Grandpa Gu, come and drink some water before we continue."

Gu Aidan took the water jar handed to him by Shen Nianle, drank a sip of water and continued to talk to the two of them.

"Mom, aren't Xiao An and the others here? Why are you standing here and not going into the house?"

Su Liaoyi came out with some roasted sweet potatoes and saw her mother-in-law standing outside her father-in-law's house.

"Your father is telling Xiao An and Xiao Le about his past experiences. I almost forgot how long it has been since I saw him so energetic." Li Aihua's wrinkled face was filled with a smile.

Su Dingyi looked through the crack in the door at her father-in-law who was speaking passionately in the room. She also knew that her father-in-law used to be a remarkable man. Who would have thought that not only did he fail to shine in the job he loved, but instead came to this cowshed in the countryside to suffer.

However, seeing her father-in-law so energetic today and able to tell his story to Xiao An and Xiao Le, she felt very relieved.

In the room, Gu Aidan was speaking excitedly, and Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle's eyes lit up as they listened, as if they were brought into that legendary era.

"Grandpa Gu, you are so awesome!" Shen Nianle gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

"Haha, it's nothing great. It's all in the past." Gu Aidang waved his hands, but he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

"Grandpa Gu hopes you can remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must have the confidence to face them and overcome them. Just like our country, although it has experienced many hardships, it has ultimately achieved victory!"

Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle nodded vigorously, indicating that they would definitely remember Grandpa Gu's words.

Li Aihua stood outside the house, looking at the warm scene inside through the crack of the door, her heart filled with relief.

She knew that the high-spirited young man who had once made her heart flutter had now become a high-spirited old man.

Although this family is going through ups and downs, these storms will pass sooner or later.

"Shen Zhiqing, are you home?"

"Shen Zhiqing?"

Shen Nian was sorting out the goods she received from Boss Long in the space. She planned to sort them out and slowly sell them to Heizi in batches.

Shen Nian didn't want to pay any attention to the shouting outside. Apart from the team leader, she would ask other women to come to her house when someone else came to see her. Even when Zhao Gaoxuan came to see her, she asked Jiaojiao to come.

But I couldn't stand the people outside shouting.

Shen Nian had no choice but to come out of the space, frowned, and knocked on the gate, impatiently saying, "Who is it? Why are you shouting in the middle of the day?"

As soon as the gate opened, I found that it was the new educated youth in the Youth League, Lin Yu.

Shen Nian's brows didn't relax, but frowned even more: "Lin Zhiqing? What do you want from me?"

When Lin Yu saw Shen Nian opening the gate, he quickly smiled and said, "Shen Zhiqing, I want to build a house in the spring. I want to refer to your house and build it according to yours."

Shen Nian's brows were furrowed so much that a fly could fly over them. Did he want to come into her house and see her house? Shen Nian refused directly.

"Lin Zhiqing, you can go to the team leader about the house construction. My house was built by the team leader and his men."

Although Lin Yu was mentally prepared to be rejected by Shen Nian, he was still stunned when Shen Nian rejected him without even thinking.

But obviously, Lin Yu was not discouraged, and he continued to speak shamelessly.

"Shen Zhiqing, I know you may find it troublesome, but I really like your house. I can go in and take a look at it myself. I'll just refer to the layout and style. I won't bother you for too long."
