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

In the middle of the night, Shen Nian was still reading in his space. Today was New Year's Day of 1973, and 1977 was the time for the college entrance examination.

As someone who has been working for almost ten years, Shen Nian has forgotten a lot of knowledge. It will take some time and energy to pick it up now.

But Shen Nian enjoys it, and she has a clear plan for her future.

Shen Nian glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was already early morning. She stood up and stretched, deciding to finish her studies for the day.

"Shen Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing!"

The rapid shouting broke the tranquility of the night. Shen Nian frowned slightly. The voice sounded a bit like Uncle Gu's. Could something have happened in the cowshed?

Shen Nian was shocked and immediately left the space and walked out quickly.

She opened the gate and saw Uncle Gu standing outside with an anxious look on his face.

"Uncle Gu, what's wrong? Did something happen in the cowshed?" Shen Nian asked with concern.

Gu Jianhua shook his head. "Nothing happened in the cowshed. It's your grandmother Gu who caught a cold and had a high fever tonight. She used the herbal medicine your uncle Wang gave her, but it's been slow to work and the fever hasn't gone down. That's why I had to ask if you have any cold medicine."

Shen Nian immediately became nervous when she heard this. Grandma Gu was old, and the conditions in the cowshed were poor. She had been lacking nutrition, and her health was not good either. Especially for an elderly person with a high fever, it was no small matter.

"Uncle Gu, don't worry, I'll go back and get you some medicine." Shen Nian said, then turned back to the house to get the cold prevention medicine that he had prepared in advance, and took the kettle on the table in the main room, which was filled with water from the space.

"Come on, Uncle Gu, I'll go with you to see Grandma Gu."

Gu Jianhua nodded repeatedly and walked quickly towards the cowshed opposite with Shen Nian.

When he entered Grandma Gu's room, he saw Grandma Gu lying on the kang, her face pale and her breathing rapid. Shen Nian touched Grandma Gu's forehead and found it was indeed burning hot.

Wang Yiming took out the medicine suitable for Grandma Gu from the medicine bag brought by Shen Nian, and poured a cup of hot water. Su Dingyi took it and carefully fed it to Grandma Gu.

Although Grandma Gu was not feeling well, she tried her best to take medicine when she saw so many people caring about her.

After taking the medicine, Grandma Gu slowly closed her eyes. It seemed that the medicine began to take effect, making her feel a little comfortable.

A group of people gathered around the kang, observing Grandma Gu's condition, not daring to relax at all.

After about half an hour, a hint of redness appeared on Grandma Gu's face, and her breathing became much more stable. Seeing this, everyone's tension eased a little.

Su Dingyi held Shen Nian's hand tightly: "Xiao Nian, it's really thanks to you for coming in time, my mother..."

She was a little unable to continue speaking and looked at Shen Nian with tears in her eyes. She and her mother-in-law were no longer just a simple mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. During these days of relying on each other, they had become an indispensable part of each other's lives.

Shen Nian patted her hand comfortingly: "Aunt Ding, don't worry too much, Grandma Gu will be fine."

Wang Yiming also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Xiaonian is right. We still need to continue to observe Aunt's condition to ensure that her fever can be successfully reduced."

Gu Jianhua looked at Shen Nian with gratitude: "Shen Zhiqing, you are really our family's benefactor. If it weren't for you, who knows what would have happened to my mother."

Su Dingyi nodded and looked at Shen Nian with gratitude. She knew that in this era of lack of medical care and medicine, the cold medicine Shen Nian brought was undoubtedly a life-saving straw.

Shen Nian smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Gu, you are too polite. It is only natural for us to help each other."

At this moment, Grandma Gu opened her eyes and saw Grandpa Gu sitting by the kang. A trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "Old man, I'm fine."

"My dear, you are finally awake. I was scared to death." Grandpa Gu gently held Grandma Gu's hand.

The worry and tension in his eyes finally eased a little when he saw his lover getting better.

Grandma Gu smiled slightly, trying to comfort him: "I'm fine, right? Look, there are so many people who care about me and take care of me."

Grandpa Gu turned his head and looked at the people gathered around the kang, his eyes full of gratitude.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Nian and the others: "Thank you all, my wife is getting better today, I really want to thank you all."

Seeing this, Wang Yiming hurriedly helped Grandpa Gu up: "Uncle Gu, what are you doing? We are all family now, and it is only right to help each other."

Grandpa Gu's eyes were slightly red, and he said with emotion: "In this era, it is really a blessing for us to meet you."

Grandma Gu also gently took Shen Nian's hand, her eyes full of gratitude: "Xiao Nian, you are really my savior. If it weren't for you, my old bones might not have survived today."

"Grandma Gu, what are you talking about? You will definitely live a long life!" Shen Nian comforted her and patted the back of her hand gently.

Hearing this, Grandma Gu smiled kindly with a hint of anticipation: "Then I'll borrow Xiaonian's good wishes and strive to live to be a hundred years old."

After the atmosphere eased, Grandma Gu turned to Su Dingyi and Shen Yulan: "Dingyi, Yulan, don't just take care of me, take care of your own health too."

Su Dingyi's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded in agreement: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Shen Yulan also nodded: "Aunt Gu, we will take good care of ourselves. Now that you are feeling better, stop talking and lie down and get some sleep."

Grandma Gu nodded, closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Shen Nian looked at the thin quilts on the bed and quietly retreated out of the house.

After returning to his room, Shen Nian took out all the quilts that he had prepared in advance. There were quite a lot of quilts, so Shen Nian took them in batches.

Seeing Shen Nian coming in with a quilt in his arms, Gu Jianhua and the others were a little surprised: "Xiao Nian, what are you doing?"

Shen Nian placed the quilt on the kang and said softly, "I prepared the quilt in advance. I knew you would refuse, so I didn't bring it here in advance. Now that the weather is getting colder, I thought I'd bring it here."

"How can this be? We have been accepting things from you all along. We already feel bad about it. How can we accept your blanket as well?"

Gu Jianhua quickly refused, and looking at the brand new quilts on the kang, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Uncle Gu, please don't be so polite." Shen Nian smiled slightly, his eyes firm. "These quilts are just extra things to me, but they are real warmth to you. It's freezing cold, if you all get sick, who will take care of grandma? So, you must accept these quilts."

Su Dingyi shook her head: "Xiao Nian, we appreciate your kindness, but we really can't accept these things."

"Aunt Su, please accept it." Shen Nian insisted, "Since I've taken it, there's no reason for me to take it back. I specially patched these quilts so they're not noticeable. Besides, if you really feel bad about it, you can return it to me when you have the chance."

When everyone heard this, they knew that Shen Nian was comforting them. How could they have any chance to repay Shen Nian for his kindness to them? Even if they did, they would never be able to repay Shen Nian for his kindness to them.

Wang Yiming and Shen Yulan also tried to persuade them. Finally, Gu Jianhua, Wang Yiming and the others could not refuse and had to accept the quilts.

Shen Nian also felt proud that she could help this group of people. She knew that the prosperity of her country could not be separated from such a group of people.

She also hopes that everyone who is in this low point can return to the job they love as soon as possible and continue to shine.
