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

Shen Nian took out everything in the basket and went out again. When she came back, she handed the medicine in her hand to Sun Xue'e.

"This medicine is for cough. Give it to Grandpa. Two pills at a time, three times a day."

Sun Xue'e looked at the medicine in Shen Nian's hand, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes: "This... Big sister, why are you still buying medicine? How much is it? I'll give you..."

Before she could finish her words, Sun Xue'e remembered that the money she had on her was still the money left from the big unity that Shen Nian left behind last time. Sun Xue'e's face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Shen Nian smiled and stuffed the medicine into Sun Xue'e's hand: "Don't think too much, grandpa's health is important."

Sun Xue'e held the packet of medicine, feeling it was heavy. She knew it was not just the weight of the medicine, and she looked at Shen Nian with gratitude.

"Sister, you are such a good person. I... I don't know how to thank you." It turns out that there are still good people in this world.

"Big sister! I want to thank you. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Take care of yourselves first. Eat when you need to, don't skimp. Taking care of your health is the most important thing! I'll come see you in a few days."

Shen Nian's words did not make Sun Xue'e feel uncomfortable. Shen Nian gave her the feeling of caring between old friends, natural and attentive.

Shen Nian said a few more words and was about to leave. Xiao Nanqing, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll see her off."

Sun Xue'e looked at Xiao Nanqing in surprise, then quickly nodded with red eyes: "Nanqing, go see your aunt off."

Shen Nian and Xiao Nanqing walked out of the house together and came to the outside of the yard.

Shen Nian looked at Xiao Nanqing in front of him and suddenly wanted to tease this little boy who had never said a word to him even after meeting him twice.

"Why did you suddenly think of sending me off?"

Xiao Nanqing looked up at her and then quickly lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly: "Sister, thank you."

After saying that, he closed the door with a "bang"!

Leaving Shen Nian outside the door in a mess!

This? Thanks to her for locking her out?

Shen Nian stood outside the door, feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed. She shook her head, thinking that the child must be shy, and even the words of thanks were so awkward.

Wait! Sister? What did the little boy call her just now? Sister?

Shen Nian quickly found an empty corner and entered the space. She sat down at the dressing table and looked around. She didn't see any trace of her sister on her face now!

After thinking about it for a long time and still unable to figure it out, Shen Nian simply put the matter aside, took off her makeup and left the space.

Riding his bicycle, Shen Nian went for a stroll at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then rode his bicycle home after leaving the cooperative.

"Shen Zhiqing, are you going to town today?"

Shen Nian was riding her bicycle along the village road when Aunt Wang greeted her from her yard.

"Yes! Let's go see if my uncle has sent us a letter. Aunt Wang, have you started digging a vegetable cellar?" Shen Nian saw Aunt Wang's family digging a hole in the yard.

"Shen Zhiqing, you are from the city and you know so much. You even know that we need to dig a cellar here?" Aunt Wang wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian smiled and said, "Aunt, I've seen what you said in a book before."

Aunt Wang nodded and said, "Have you started digging for Shen Zhiqing yet? If we want to eat some fresh vegetables this winter, we can only rely on this vegetable cellar!"

Shen Nian shook his head: "We haven't started digging yet, but I plan to start digging in the next two days."

"Then you have to hurry up and dig! It gets cold in a blink of an eye! It will be difficult to dig when the weather gets cold." Aunt Wang wiped the sweat from her forehead, which made her feel warm.

"Okay, I understand, Aunt Wang. You guys go ahead and do your work first, we'll talk later." Shen Nian smiled and nodded, then continued riding his bike towards home.

As he walked home, Shen Nian discovered that every household in the brigade had started digging vegetable cellars. When he passed Aunt Li's house, Shen Nian looked inside for a few more deep glances.

Aunt Li suddenly felt a chill on her back. She raised her head and looked outside, only to see Shen Nian riding a bicycle away towards the Youth League Home.

Why did she feel like she was going to be in big trouble? Aunt Li quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of this scary thought.

Shen Nian returned home, parked his bicycle, and walked around the yard. He felt a little worried about the cellar that had not yet been dug.

Where to dig?

Finally, Shen Nian decided to dig the cellar from the wall of her room, and the exit would be in her own room.

But how long would it take her to dig this cellar by herself?

Shen Nian thought for a while and decided to go to the cowshed to ask Gu Jianhua and Zhou Zhenhua for help, so that the process would be faster.

So Shen Nian closed the door and walked towards the cowshed opposite.

The door to the cowshed was not locked, so Shen Nian pushed it open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Jianhua and Zhou Zhenhua chopping grass for the cows in the corner of the yard.

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Zhou, you are busy!" Shen Nian greeted the two with a smile.

Gu Jianhua looked up and saw Shen Nian, a smile appeared on his face: "Shen Zhiqing, why are you here?"

Zhou Zhenhua also stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian was not polite to the two of them and directly stated the purpose of his visit: "Uncle Gu, Uncle Zhou, I want to ask you for a favor."

Gu Jianhua and Zhou Zhenhua exchanged a glance, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes. Shen Zhiqing usually didn't ask for help easily, so what kind of help could he ask for this time?

"Shen Zhiqing, just tell me what help you need." Gu Jianhua spoke first.

Shen Nian nodded: "Winter is coming, it's time to store vegetables. I want you to help me dig a cellar."

"Dig a cellar?" Gu Jianhua and Zhou Zhenhua were both a little surprised.

Shen Nian nodded: "Yes! I want to dig a cellar at home. I have never dug one before, so I don't know how to do it."

"I thought it was nothing! Your uncle Zhou and I will come over later to help you dig it!" Gu Jianhua agreed readily.

Zhou Zhenhua also nodded: "Yes! Shen Zhiqing, digging a cellar is an easy job. We will go over and dig it later."

Shen Nian nodded: "Okay, then uncles, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll wait for you later. I'll go see what the aunts are doing now!"

Gu Jianhua and Zhou Zhenhua continued to mow the grass with their heads down. "Go to the kitchen and check! They should be there."

Shen Nian responded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

When Shen Nian walked in, he saw Su Dingyi and Shen Yulan busy in the kitchen, cutting something with kitchen knives in their hands.

"Hey! It's Shen Zhiqing, come in quickly."

"We are pickling sauerkraut." Shen Yulan greeted Shen Nian with a smile when she saw her come in.

"The harvest is good this year, and the cabbages are big! They are pleasing to the eye." Su Dingyi said with a smile.

"Your harvest this year is really good. The cabbages are so pleasing to the eye." Shen Nian also agreed, standing aside and watching Su Dingyi and Shen Yulan pickle sauerkraut.

Shen Yulan nodded, her face full of unstoppable smile: "Yes! The cabbages in previous years were not as good as this year. This cabbage is growing really well."

She has been in Shuangxi Brigade for several years. The vegetables she planted in the past few years either did not survive or were very small. Compared with previous years, she is very satisfied with this year's cabbage.

Su Dingyi also smiled: "The cabbage is growing well, and we can eat more sauerkraut and vermicelli stew."

Shen Nian chatted with the two for a few minutes before returning home.

Shen Nian returned home, thinking that the matter of the cellar had been settled. Now he just had to wait for Gu Jianhua and Zhou Zhenhua to come and dig the cellar.

She was thinking about what she could put in the cellar so that she could take it out and have a snack when she was unable to go out during the winter.

She entered the space and looked at the wild game she had caught in the mountains during the previous trips. She found that there were quite a few of them, all staying free in the pasture.

Shen Nian thought about it and decided to go to the mountains a few more times. When the time comes, he will make all the wild game into cured meat, which will be convenient for storage. It will not spoil easily if it is stored in the cellar, and there will be a reason to take it out.
