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

In the letter, the original owner's parents asked Shi Shengxia not to be stubborn anymore, and they had forgiven her as a daughter. They also said that they could try to consider Zhu Jiajun and asked Shi Shengxia to call home.

After reading the letter, Shi Shengxia put it back in her pocket, carried the package out of the post office, and called the original owner's parents? Shi Shengxia had never thought about it at all.

Even if she made the call, she didn't know what to say, so she simply didn't make the call.

Although she occupied the original owner's body, she had never lived with the original owner's parents, and they were strangers to her.

When Zhang Fengfeng saw Shi Shengxia coming out with a package, she hurriedly pushed her bicycle over.

"Shengxia, have you picked up the package?"

Zhang Fengfeng walked up to her and asked, her eyes fixed on the package she was carrying. She knew that Shi Shengxia's family was well-off, and her parents must have sent Shi Shengxia a lot of good things.

"Well, let's go, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner first."

Shi Shengxia nodded. Since he had only been in town for a few days, he must go to the state-owned restaurant to have a bite to eat first.

She couldn't cook, and the meals Zhou Jindong prepared were the most common meals of that era, with little oil and salt, and tasted bland. She felt like her mouth was about to become bland.

Zhang Fengfeng responded, and since Shi Shengxia was the one paying, she pushed her bicycle and followed Shi Shengxia to the state-owned restaurant.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Shi Shengxia found a seat, put the package aside, took out the money and handed it to Zhang Fengfeng.

"Fengfeng, go line up and order!"

Zhang Fengfeng took the money and a bright smile appeared on her face. She stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

She turned and walked to the back of the line to get in line and wait to order.

Soon it was Zhang Fengfeng's turn to order, and she named a few dishes.

"I'd like some braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, two bowls of rice, and a pot of egg soup."

After Zhang Fengfeng ordered the dishes and collected the money, she returned to Shi Shengxia.

"Shengxia, I ordered braised pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms. I thought you must want to eat meat. Is that okay?" Zhang Fengfeng said as she sat down.

"It's okay, I want to eat braised pork too." Shi Shengxia said indifferently.

In her previous life, she often went to various high-end restaurants to eat big meals, and she was already tired of eating everything.

Now when she comes here, she wants to eat everything. If she wants to eat something good, she has to come to this state-owned restaurant. Sometimes she really misses her previous life.

Zhang Fengfeng nodded with a smile. After a while, the waiter called out the dishes for their table, and she quickly got up to serve them.

After they finished their meal, Shi Shengxia wiped her mouth with satisfaction. She was completely satisfied with the meal. Although the dishes were simple, they were considered a rare delicacy in this day and age.

Shen Nian returned home, parked his bicycle in the yard, poured the coal in a corner, and waited for Shen Nian'an and his brother to come back in the afternoon to make coal briquettes together.

After lunch, when the Shen Nian'an brothers went to school, Shen Nian was sitting on the kang knitting a sweater when she heard someone outside calling "Shen Zhiqing".

Shen Nian put the things back into the basket, got off the kang, walked out and opened the gate.

"It's my aunt. Come in and sit down!" When she opened the door, she saw that it was Goudan's mother who came to see her.

Goudan's mother smiled a little nervously: "Is it not disturbing you, Shen Zhiqing?"

"No, why bother you? I don't have anything to do after the busy farming season. I'm knitting at home."

Shen Nian led Goudan's mother into the house and asked her to sit on the kang. Goudan's mother smiled at her and climbed up obediently.

Shen Nian also sat down and continued knitting with the sweater: "Auntie, why didn't Goudan come with you?"

After hearing what Shen Nian said, Goudan's mother smiled indulgently: "That kid, I asked him to go collect firewood. It's not a good idea for him to stay with me all the time."

"Shen Zhiqing, actually I came here because I want to ask you for help with something." Goudan's mother started to feel a little reserved again.

"Oh, auntie, just tell me what's the matter. I will definitely help if I can." Shen Nian said carelessly, not caring.

After much hesitation, Goudan's mother finally told him the purpose of her visit: "I want you to help me persuade Goudan to go to school."

After Goudan's mother made her request, she looked at Shen Nian nervously, fearing that she would refuse.

After hearing this, Shen Nian put down the sweater in her hand and looked at Goudan's mother seriously: "Auntie, going to school is a good thing. Why doesn't Goudan want to go?"

Goudan smiled bitterly: "This child is too sensible. He obviously wants to go to school, but I'm afraid that no one will take care of me when he goes to school. In fact, it's me, as a mother, who is holding him back!"

Shen Nian looked at Goudan's mother, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. In this simple mountain village, the love between mother and son was sincere and deep.

She gently patted the back of Goudan's mother's hand and comforted her, "Auntie, don't be too sad. Goudan is a good boy. He knows how to take care of his family. This is his strength."

Tears welled up in Goudan's mother's eyes. "I know, but I don't want to burden him. He deserves a better future, not just staying in this little mountain village with a useless mother like me."

"Aunt, look at what you said. What mother would feel that she is a burden to her child?" Shen Nian quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Goudan's mother.

"When Xiaoan and Xiaole come back from school, I'll ask them to find Goudan. I'll talk to him and see what he thinks." Shen Nian continued.

"Hey! Then let me thank you first, Shen Zhiqing." Goudan's mother stopped crying and thanked Shen Nian.

Shen Nian didn't have much hope of persuading Goudan to go to school. After all, even his mother couldn't persuade him to go to school, so what could she, an outsider, do to persuade him?

The facts were just as Shen Nian had expected. In the afternoon, Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle called Goudan over. As soon as Shen Nian started talking, Goudan ran away.

Shen Nian looked at Goudan's fleeing back and shook his head helplessly, so Shen Nian was declared a failure before he even started.

Seeing that there was no hope of persuading him to study, Shen Nian decided to put the matter aside for the time being, after all, he could not force it, and instead devoted himself to another task - making coal briquettes.

She turned to look at Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle, a smile on her face: "Okay, let's not sit here in a daze anymore. Goudan will go to school when he figures it out."

"We still have work to do. I remember there is a piece of yellow mud land by the river behind the mountain. Let's go dig some and make coal briquettes." Shen Nian continued.

When Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle heard they were going to make coal briquettes, their eyes lit up. Children are always curious about new things, and they excitedly followed Shen Nian with their baskets, chattering non-stop all the way.

When they arrived at the yellow mud ground, Shen Nian rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, scooped up a handful of yellow mud and looked at it before starting to dig. Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle couldn't wait to pick up small shovels and started digging.

The three siblings brought the mud back home, mixed it with coal briquettes, added water to the desired consistency, and then Shen Nian began to teach the two children how to make coal balls.

She grabbed a piece of coal, rolled it into a ball in her palm, and a round coal ball appeared in her hand.

Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle also did the same. Although the coal balls they made were of different sizes and shapes, the two children enjoyed it.

Under Shen Nian's leadership, the three of them worked hard and finally made a pile of coal briquettes. Looking at the fruits of their labor, Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle both smiled with satisfaction.

But Shen Nian felt that this job was too troublesome, so he decided to buy Fengwofeng next time to save trouble.
