Although life in the cowshed was hard, their lives were better than those of most people who were sent down.

People should be content with what they have.

"I brought these grains here so that you can eat well. If you eat well, your body will be healthy. You work hard every day, and if you don't keep up with your nutrition, your body will be deficient. Taotao is still young. If you don't take good care of your body, what will happen to him?"

She brought some white flour and cornmeal, but her grandparents didn't cook them much. When she came over, she saw that they were eating black flour steamed buns or steamed corn bread.

The work they did in the cowshed was already twice as much as the villagers, and they did the most work, but the food they were given was the worst quality. They had never done farm work before, and when they were sent here, the heavy work was pressing on them. How could their bodies bear it if they didn't eat well?

"Oh, I see, I see. Starting tomorrow, we'll mix white flour and cornmeal together."

"You should also drink a glass of malted milk every day."

Liang Jun felt warm in his heart. Their granddaughter was really caring about them. "Okay, okay, we'll drink it every day from now on."

Yang Zhen sat next to him without saying anything, but with a smile on his face.

"Will you be cold when you sleep at night? Don't be reluctant to burn firewood. If the firewood is all burned, I will carry more firewood over."

"It's not cold. The quilt you brought is thick. We also heat the kang at night, so we won't be cold. We have everything we need. You don't need to bring anything else.

It's cold and snowing now, you can just stay at home and don't come here."

It was so cold, and Liang Jun really didn't want his granddaughter to come over to them.

Shen Shuyu took out two roasted sweet potatoes and two roasted potatoes from her pocket, chatted with them for a while, gave Taotao a handful of candy, and then went back.

Her grandmother was worried about her being outside, so she had to go back quickly, otherwise the old lady would not be able to find her and would be anxious.

Old Mrs. Shen was indeed anxious. Shen Chunling came out to look for her but didn't see her eldest niece. She went back and told the old lady. Old Mrs. Shen came out in a hurry to look for her, as if she was afraid that her eldest granddaughter might be lost.

Shen Shuyu saw her grandmother at the corner of the river. Seeing that her grandmother was walking in a hurry, Shen Shuyu was afraid that she would fall, so she called out, "Grandma, I'm here."

"Hey, where have you been? Your second aunt came out looking for you and said she couldn't find you."

"Grandma, I'll be walking around here to see if there are any fish. If there are any, I'll take two home and make fish soup."

"It's icy and snowy here, the river is frozen, there are no fish, let's not go fishing, we have some bacon at home, grandma will fry it for you."

Old Mrs. Shen kept nagging while dragging her granddaughter home. When they got home, Gu Jiandong was still asleep, and Shen Shuyu did not go into the house to disturb his sleep.

This snow lasted for more than a week. The first thing Shen Jiabao, Gu Jiandong and others did when they woke up was to go up to the roof and sweep the snow. After sweeping the snow, they had to go out to help sweep the snow for the elderly people in the village who had no strong labor force at home.

The people in their Shenjiaba Brigade are simple and honest. If someone needs help, they don't need to ask, everyone will come forward to help.

For example, when it comes to clearing snow, whoever has finished clearing the snow will go out and help those in need in the village.

Because of this, there are almost no incidents of people being crushed to death by roof collapse due to snow in their village every year.

Other brigades are not united enough, and every year there are one or two incidents where the roof collapses because the snow is not cleared off the roof in time.

Just today, Li Caixia’s parents came to ask Li Caixia to go back and help because the roof of their house collapsed.

Li Caixia saw her brother coming to her in distress and immediately became nervous. "Brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"

Li Dagen looked at a bag of cornmeal and gave it to his sister. "Sister, my mother asked me to give this to you. There's nothing wrong at home. It just snowed too heavily last night.

I slept in a little this morning and didn't get up in time to sweep the snow off the roof, so the roof of my mother's house collapsed."

"What? The roof of the room where I sleep collapsed? Is I okay?"

"No one is wrong. I wasn't in the house at the time. I was cooking in the kitchen. The roof collapsed, and your sister-in-law and I couldn't fix it alone. I thought of coming here to call Xiangnan and Jiaguo to come with me and fix my collapsed roof."

Li Caixia missed her parents' home and shouted to her husband and son, "Xiangnan, Jiaguo, don't sleep anymore. Get up and go back to my parents' home with me."

Her voice was urgent, and the father and son did not delay. They put on their clothes and came out quickly. When they saw Li Dagen and his son, they greeted them.

"Brother (uncle is here)."

Li Dagen nodded and said, "Xiangnan, Jiaguo, I'm sorry to bother you to come home with me today."

Li Caixia pushed the father and son out while explaining, "My mother's roof collapsed and needs to be repaired."

"The roof collapsed. What happened to the people?"

"Everyone is fine, but the roof needs to be repaired quickly, otherwise it will be uninhabitable."

My mother-in-law's family usually treats Uncle Shen well. Now that my mother-in-law's family needs his help, he handles it as if it were his own business.

For fear that there were not enough people, they also called Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen San, and they hurried to Li Caixia's parents' home.

They walked fast. Liu Pandi tried to stop her husband from going but failed. She curled her lips and said, "You bastard, you only know how to go against your will." Her mother had work to do, and she had never seen him so proactive.

She thought so in her heart, and complained to Old Lady Shen a few words, "Mom, look at Xiangxi. Last time when my mom came to help him go home to harvest wheat, he pretended to be deaf and dumb. I called him for a long time but he didn't respond at all. He just refused to go home with my mom to work.

Now, when someone from my second sister-in-law's family comes and calls him, he rushes out. People who don't know him would think that the Li family is his in-laws' family."

Old Lady Shen was annoyed. "How dare you say that the third child doesn't help your family with work? And doesn't care about your family?

Whenever you go back to your mother's home, the third child will always go home with you. Once you arrive at your Liu family's house, your parents, brother and sister-in-law, your younger brother and sister-in-law won't let him drink a sip of water, and will start assigning him tasks as soon as they open their mouths.

Working from morning till night, he couldn't even get a steamed bun. After finishing the work, he let the third child go home. He also said behind his back that the third child came to your Liu family and acted like a big shot, and didn't treat your parents as his father-in-law or father-in-law.

As for the Li family, every time the second son returned to his wife's house, the Li family would take out the best things to entertain their son-in-law. The second son would carry a few buckets of water, and the Li family would praise their son-in-law for his diligence and never let him return empty-handed.

This time, Li's eldest brother-in-law came to ask the second brother for help and brought a bag of cornmeal.

We are both Yue families. Look at the behavior of the Li family and your Liu family. How dare you say that about my third son? If it weren't for my mother teaching him well, with a Yue family like your Liu family, the third son would have refused to acknowledge me long ago."
