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

Gu Zhongdang took a sip of soup, looked up at Gu Jianhua, and asked, "What did Shen Zhiqing say just now about you saving her brother?"

"Her brother Xiaole accidentally fell into the river. I happened to be grazing cattle and storing grass there. Goudan's mother came to call me, and I fished him out and sent him back." Gu Jianhua explained to his father.

After listening to Gu Jianhua's explanation, Gu Zhongdang nodded and said nothing.

The people in the cowshed were very satisfied with this meal. Before being sent down to the countryside, some of them were doctors, professors, and even politicians, and they did not rely on brute force to make a living.

Although they would occasionally sneak into the mountains to hunt for game or go to the river to catch some fish, their luck was not very good. They were not experts in this field. Gu Zhongdang, the only one who had survived the war, was already seventy years old and did not have the energy to do these things, so everyone was usually short of oil and water.

Shen Nian was eating hot pot and watermelon in the space, feeling so happy. She wouldn't trade this kind of life for mountains of gold and silver.

After eating and drinking and resting for a while, Shen Nian took a shower to get rid of the hot pot smell on his body, and then left the space with satisfaction.

Near dusk, Shen Nian heard a commotion in the Youth League compound in front of her. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but it sounded like someone was swearing. She couldn't hear it clearly, so she gave up.

He went into the kitchen, threw the firewood into the stove and lit it, and warmed some space spring water for the two brothers, intending to let them take a bath when they came back to heal the shock that Xiaole had caused them by falling into the river today.

The water had been boiling for a while before the Shen Nian'an brothers came back, and Shen Nianle looked excited.

"Sister, there's a quarrel going on in the Youth League compound up ahead!"

"What are they arguing about?" Shen Nian asked casually while scooping water into the bucket.

"Well, it's for today's wild boar meat!" Shen Nianle continued to gossip with Shen Nian.

"Isn't wild boar meat measured by the amount per person? Are you arguing about that?"

"Of course not. I even dragged my brother to see it." Shen Nianle wanted to continue gossiping with Shen Nian.

"Okay, you two go take a bath first, and tell me when you come out."

Seeing that Shen Nianle was still in the mood to listen to other people's quarrels, Shen Nian was relieved and confirmed that the fall into the water today had no impact on him. He mixed water for the two brothers and asked them to take a bath together.

As soon as she sat down on the kang, Ye Jiaojiao came running to find her.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Shen Nian opened the courtyard door and let Ye Jiaojiao follow her into the house.

Ye Jiaojiao placed the malted milk and canned fruit on the table. "Niannian! If it weren't for you today, I definitely wouldn't be standing here right now! I can never repay you for saving my life! From now on, you're my real sister!"

Shen Nian looked at the malted milk and canned fruit on the table and said, "Jiaojiao, take your things back. I didn't save you just for these things."

Ye Jiaojiao was anxious: "Niannian, don't you want to be good sisters with me?"

Shen Nian...

Why are you still saying it?

You are the cannon fodder in this book. I am afraid of being your sister!

Shen Nian complained in his heart.

"Niannian? Good Niannian, beautiful comrade Niannian, the best Niannian in the world." Ye Jiaojiao acted coquettishly towards Shen Nian.

Shen Nian shook off the goose bumps on his body and asked subconsciously: "Then will you be obedient?"

"Yes." Ye Jiaojiao almost blurted out.

"Be obedient and don't do it." After Shen Nian said this, he laughed out loud.

Ye Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shen Nian was teasing her, and started laughing too.

The two of them sat on the kang. Shen Nian took out some melon seeds and placed them in front of Ye Jiaojiao: "Xiao Le and the others came back and said that they were arguing in the Youth League House. Did you go and see?"

"I saw it. Zhao Gaoxuan was having dinner with me at that time, and I dragged him to watch it with me!" Ye Jiaojiao nodded while eating melon seeds.

Shen Nian's gossip spirit was burning: "Xiao Le said it was because of today's wild boar meat. What's going on?"

"There was a male comrade in the brigade who was bringing his share of wild boar meat to Shi Zhiqing. He ran into Zhu Zhiqing, who was also bringing his share of wild boar meat to Shi Zhiqing. Zhu Zhiqing's face immediately changed, and he started to curse him in a sarcastic and rather unpleasant way."

"Shi Zhiqing came out to refute a few words, and Zhu Zhiqing scolded him even more fiercely. Then Shi Zhiqing was scolded to tears, and the male comrade in the team beat Zhu Zhiqing. Zhu Zhiqing ran to find the team leader, and then I came to you." Ye Jiaojiao told the whole story in one breath.

Shen Nian didn't quite understand the male protagonist's train of thought. Everyone has a share, so why did you give it to the female protagonist?

Zhu Jiajun knew what he was thinking. He just wanted to show his affection so that Shi Shengxia would support him like before.

"Didn't everyone have a share of the big pot meal today? Why did they give all of it to Shi Zhiqing?" Shen Nian still didn't understand, so he just asked.

Ye Jiaojiao knew what she was talking about. "It seemed like the educated youth at that time couldn't cook. I lived next door to her and rarely saw her cook. Sometimes she would just boil an egg. One time I saw her cooking noodles, and they were all mushy."

Ye Jiaojiao was stunned when she saw it. Although she couldn't cook, she could still make noodles!

Shen Nian is now skeptical about the book she has read. The heroine can't even cook, so how did she become successful by opening a hot pot restaurant?

"Besides, sometimes I see someone bringing her food." Ye Jiaojiao quietly approached Shen Nian with a mysterious look on her face.

When Shen Nian heard her say this, she knew without even having to guess that this person must be the male lead.

"It's enough for us two to know about this. Don't tell anyone else about it once you leave this room." Shen Nian reminded Ye Jiaojiao. She was afraid that this girl was naive and wouldn't know when she offended someone.

Ye Jiaojiao quickly covered her mouth: "No! I definitely won't tell you! I won't even tell Zhao Gaoxuan!"

Ye Jiaojiao and Shen Nian chatted for a while before returning to the Youth League Home.

"Sister, was Sister Jiaojiao here just now?" Shen Nianle slipped into the house after taking a bath.

"Yes, your sister Jiaojiao was here just now. Your sister Jiaojiao brought these two. Take them and put them in the cabinet in your room."

Shen Nian pointed to the malted milk and canned fruit that Ye Jiaojiao brought on the table.

Shen Nianle didn't leave but climbed onto Shen Nian's kang instead: "Sister, everyone in the team said that you killed the wild boar we ate today. Is that true?"

At this time, Shen Nian'an also came in and sat on the edge of the kang. Shen Nian patted the kang to signal him to come up as well.

"Then do you think that the wild boar was killed by your sister?" Shen Nian asked instead of answering.

"Yes, sister, we believe that you beat him to death!" Shen Nianle and Shen Nian'an nodded repeatedly.

Shen Nian was immediately amused. She deliberately teased the brothers: "Do you trust your sister so much?"

Shen Nian'an nodded again: "Sister, we will always trust you unconditionally!"

Shen Nian'an's words reminded Shen Nian of her grandmother in her previous life, who had said the same thing to her.

She was still in elementary school at the time, and her classmates called her an unwanted wild child and often bullied her. One time, they secretly put money in her schoolbag and then told the teacher that she had stolen money. The teacher called her parents without even asking her any questions.

When her grandmother arrived, she first comforted her and said that she believed in herself. Then she asked the teacher to check the surveillance video. After finding out the truth, she firmly asked the teacher and classmates to apologize to her.

After returning home, she asked her grandmother why she believed that she did not steal the money.

At that time, my grandmother said, "I raised you, and I know your personality best. You must have this confidence, and I will always believe in you unconditionally."

Shen Nian felt that what happened in his previous life seemed as if it happened yesterday. The memories of the little old lady were so clear. Suddenly, he missed that lovely little old lady very much.

"Do you want to sleep in the same room with me tonight?" Shen Nian looked at the two brothers lying on the kang, one on each side.

Shen Nianle felt that the surprise came a little suddenly: "Is it okay, sister?"

Shen Nian'an was also surprised. Since going to the countryside, they had never slept in the same room with their sister again.

When he first arrived, Shen Nian'an was not used to living in the Youth League Home. He would always wake up subconsciously in the middle of the night to cover his sister with a quilt. After getting out of bed, he realized that his sister was no longer a fool, and they had already gone to the countryside. It took him almost half a month to get rid of this habit.

"Okay, but I'll send you two to school after the busy farming season is over. You can't do that after that." Shen Nian smiled and rubbed the tops of their heads.

"Sister, we don't have to go to school. My brother and I can go to work and earn work points." Shen Nianle was happy at first, then shook her head.

Shen Nian rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't go to school, how are you going to support your sister and the family in the future?"

Shen Nian'an was stunned. Support his sister?

"Sister, can I support you after I go to school?"

"Yes, if you study hard and learn more, you will have the opportunity to go to college. After graduating from college, you will be able to earn money to support your sister, right?"

Shen Nian said that sister control should be cultivated from a young age and goals should be set for him.

"Okay, sister, I'll go. My brother and I will go." Shen Nianle nodded repeatedly, feeling that what his sister said made sense.

"Sister, do we have the tuition money?" Shen Nian'an asked after hesitating for a moment. Although he wanted to go to school very much, he didn't want to add pressure to his sister.

Shen Nian was stunned. Did the two brothers look at the passbook in vain?
