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

Chapter 260 The Medicine Given by Gu Yanqing

Shen Nian nodded to Ye Jiaojiao, then walked towards her home alone. Just as she reached the wall of her yard, someone patted her on the shoulder.

Instinctively, Shen Nian wanted to throw the other person over her shoulder, but just as her hand touched the other person's hand, the other person quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

At the same time, a deep voice came: "Shen Zhiqing, it's me, Yan Qing."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian looked at Gu Yanqing in surprise. She really didn't expect Gu Yanqing to be by the wall of her own yard.

Shen Nian was slightly startled when she heard this. She turned around and saw Gu Yanqing standing there. She really didn't expect that Gu Yanqing would appear by the wall of her own courtyard at this time.

"Yan Zhiqing? What are you doing here? Do you want to scare me?" Shen Nian asked doubtfully, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

Gu Yanqing scratched his head embarrassedly, a blush appeared on his face that he didn't even know about, and explained:

"Well, Shen Zhiqing, I didn't mean to scare you. I just saw you kick Zhu Jiajun, and I just wanted to see if you were hurt."

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm not injured. I even killed a wild boar today. Have you forgotten? Zhu Jiajun's strength is not even as good as that of a wild boar!"

"You killed such a big wild boar today. Did your hand get injured?" Gu Yanqing asked with concern.

Shen Nian subconsciously raised his hands and clenched his fists, feeling no pain: "No, my hands are not hurt."

Gu Yanqing watched her movements, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly:

"It's okay as long as you are not injured. This is the medicine I brought with you. If you are injured, just rub it. This medicine is effective and will heal quickly." As he said that, he stuffed a bottle of medicine into Shen Nian's hand.

Shen Nian looked at the medicine bottle that Gu Yanqing stuffed into her hand, raised her head and looked at him, wanting to refuse his kindness: "Yan Zhiqing, I'm really not injured, I don't need this medicine."

"Then keep it as a backup. If this happens again next time, don't rush out in front. Well, I'm going back first."

Gu Yanqing finished speaking quickly, then turned around and left in a hurry, seeming to be in a hurry.

Shen Nian looked at Gu Yanqing's back, then looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, feeling a little confused. She even felt that this person was a little weird.

Not long after I got home and sat on the kang, Shen Nian'an and the other three came back.

"Sister! The educated youth are fighting again tonight. Did you go to watch the fun?" Shen Nianle poked his head into Shen Nian's room and asked excitedly.

Shen Nian nodded and replied with a smile: "I went to see it, it was Zhou Jindong and Zhu Jiajun fighting."

"Is it because of Shi Shengxia again?" Shen Nianle blinked his big eyes and asked curiously.

Shen Nian looked at Shen Nianle's gossipy look and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Le, how did you know about this? And you know it so clearly?"

Shen Nianle chuckled, "We were just playing at Erwa's house when we saw Zhang Qiang go look for the team leader. The team leader was sitting on the kang smoking a pipe, but when he heard that Zhu Jiajun had been fighting again, he forced Auntie to come out and tell Zhang Qiang that he had fallen asleep."

Shen Nian was immediately interested when he heard this: "You mean, the captain is not drunk?"

"Why are you drunk? The team leader didn't drink a drop of alcohol. He just sat on the kang and smoked his pipe. He was worried that the electricity couldn't reach our team!" Shen Nianle said vividly, his little face full of excitement.

After hearing this, Shen Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It seems that the captain doesn't want to get involved in the troubles of Zhu Jiajun and others, so he found an excuse of being drunk to hide.

"Sister, do you think this electricity can be connected to our team?" Shen Nianle leaned against the door and asked Shen Nian with anticipation.

Shen Nian shook her head and said frankly, "I really don't know about this, but I will try my best to fight for it. As for the rest, we can only wait for news."

At this time, Li Jichu walked in from outside wearing a vest and shorts and shouted to Shen Nianle: "Xiao Le, we are all done washing, you should go take a shower!"

"Hey, I'll be there right away!" Shen Nianle responded to Li Jichu, then turned to Shen Nian and said, "Sister, you continue with your work. I'm going to take a shower first."

Shen Nian smiled and nodded. Before Shen Nianle left, he did not forget to help Shen Nian close the door.

Shen Nian sat on the kang. After hearing the sound of Shen Nian'an and the other three returning to the room and closing the door, he got off the kang, locked the door, gently blew out the kerosene lamp, and entered the space.

In the space, Shen Nian first took a tour and sold all the ripe crops and fruits, as well as chickens, poultry, fish and the like.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Shen Nian returned to the house and sat down, beginning to concentrate on writing the application for Shuangxi Brigade to obtain electric wires.

On the other hand, Zhang Fengfeng had eaten too much wild boar meat in the afternoon and had some indigestion. She tossed and turned on the kang and couldn't fall asleep.

She lay on the kang and recalled the day in the threshing ground when Shen Nian was surrounded by members and praised by them, with a smug look on his face.

What made it even harder for her to let go was that she remembered what she saw today: Zhou Jindong and Shi Shengxia holding hands and looking at each other lovingly.

Zhang Fengfeng suddenly realized that she had been reborn for a year and had not accomplished anything.

It doesn’t matter that she can’t defeat Shen Nian, after all, this person didn’t exist in her previous life.

But she hadn't even won Zhou Jindong over yet! She even watched him and Shi Shengxia fall in love again, just like they did in their previous life.

Zhang Fengfeng felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart. In the darkness, her face was twisted with unwillingness, and her hands were tightly clenched on the corners of the quilt.

She closed her eyes, but the image of Zhou Jindong's successful career shown on TV in her previous life kept replaying in her mind.

"No, I can't just accept my fate like this!"

Recalling the people who were about to arrive from the brigade, Zhang Fengfeng suddenly opened her eyes, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Fengfeng knew that her chance was coming soon.

……

Gu Yanqing waited for nearly half the night before Zhou Jindong finally got up to go to the bathroom. Without hesitation, he put the sack over Zhou Jindong's head, and Zhou Jindong was momentarily stunned.

Gu Yanqing didn't say anything. He put a sack on his head and started beating him. His fist hit Zhou Jindong's face, and he instinctively groaned.

Gu Yanqing's fists rained down on Zhou Jindong, who initially tried to break free from the sack. However, Gu Yanqing's punches were so fast and fierce that he had no chance to defend himself.

Soon, the pain made Zhou Jindong lose the ability to resist. He could only curl up on the ground with his head in his hands, and even forgot to call for help.

It was unknown how long it had been before Zhou Jindong felt that the fist on his body seemed to have disappeared. He broke free from the sack and saw that everything around him was pitch black, without even the sound of a bird.

Zhou Jindong was terrified, fearing that the man would come back again. He didn't even dare to go to the toilet. He pulled off the sack and limped home.

Gu Yanqing picked up the sack on the ground, glanced at Zhou Jindong who was staggering away, then turned and left, disappearing into the night.

The next morning, when it was still dawn, Shen Nian had just finished washing up when she heard bursts of noise coming from the Youth League compound. She put the breakfast she had prepared in advance in the space into the pot.

Then he slowly ate two buns and walked towards the threshing ground following the sound of the team leader's loud speaker.

As soon as Ye Jiaojiao saw Shen Nian, she hurried over and handed her a boiled egg: "Sister Nian, Sister Nian, the Youth League Institute was in turmoil again this morning!"

Shen Nian gently waved his hand and declined, "Jiaojiao, you eat the egg. I just ate the buns." As he said that, he stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth.

Seeing this, Ye Jiaojiao didn't mind. She took back the egg with a smile and said while peeling the shell: "Sister Nian, guess who is making trouble this time?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian curiously asked, "Who is it? I don't think the voice is from the Youth Academy. It seems that they are scolding Shi Shengxia and Zhu Jiajun."

"Of course, they were the ones being scolded. Zhou Jindong's mother was eventually called away by the team leader!" Ye Jiaojiao explained.

As soon as the two of them talked about this, they walked to the threshing ground.

There were already quite a few people standing on the ground. Zhou Jindong's mother was standing aside, cursing at the educated youth.

Shen Nian listened carefully and finally understood what she was cursing.

She patted Ye Jiaojiao's shoulder and said, "Why did I hear Zhou Jindong's mother say that Zhou Jindong had someone put a hemp suit on him last night?"

Ye Jiaojiao nodded and whispered, "Yeah! Last night, Zhou Jindong had someone put a sack on him and beat him up. His mother came to the Youth League House and made a scene, saying it was Zhu Jiajun who beat him up because they had just had a fight the night before."

"Then she scolded Shi Shengxia as well, because she was the one who caused the fight between Zhu Jiajun and Zhou Jindong." Shen Nian added.

"Of course, Zhou Jindong's mother's curses were as harsh as they could be." Ye Jiaojiao echoed.

As usual, the team leader said some words to encourage the members, and then asked Zhu Jiajun to stay alone, and the others could disperse.

As Shen Nian left with the other members, he suddenly felt someone staring at him. He turned around and met Zhang Fengfeng's sinister gaze.

Shen Nian rolled his eyes at the other person in disdain, then averted his gaze. He muttered to himself: Is Zhang Fengfeng really sick? Staring at him with such a sinister look so early in the morning, who is he trying to scare?

Around noon, Su Dingyi went back to the chicken farm to collect eggs, while Shen Nian went to find the team leader. Looking at the application form for installing electrical wires handed over by Shen Nian, the team leader was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Nian, what are you doing..." The captain took the application form in confusion and read it carefully.

Shen Nian waited patiently for the captain to finish reading. The further he read, the brighter the captain's eyes became.

"Xiao Nian! The plan you wrote here..." The captain's words were full of expectations. He held the application form tightly, as if holding the hope of the team.

In the application, Shen Nian wrote about a series of breeding plans that Shuangxi Brigade will be launching next year.

Shen Nian met the captain's gaze, knew what he wanted to ask, nodded seriously, and said:

"Captain, please give this application to Director Zhao of the commune. I've observed before that Director Zhao is truly concerned about the development of our brigade's breeding. Let's give this application to him and see if it can help us get electricity for the brigade."

Upon hearing this, the team leader nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I'll go to the commune later!"

As the autumn harvest approaches, the entire brigade is immersed in the busy work of harvesting.

The areas that Shen Nian and Su Dingyi are responsible for will still be cleared partially by others, and she has even become accustomed to it.

Shen Nian and Su Dingyi both kept it a secret and never mentioned this to each other, nor did they talk about Gu Yanqing again.

……

Late one night, Shen Nian was immersed in her sleep when she suddenly heard bursts of dog barking, which woke her up from her dream.

There were dogs barking outside. Could there be a chicken thief? The chicken farm was the only one in the entire brigade that had dogs. Even Wangcai in the yard started barking.

Shen Nian quickly got up, put on some clothes, grabbed a flashlight and went out.

The barking of dogs continued, and Shen Nian ran anxiously towards the chicken farm. She didn't care about the chickens being stolen. She was worried about Gu Jianhua and Su Dingyi who lived in the chicken farm.

Shen Nian had just run halfway when a voice came from behind him, "Shen Zhiqing!"

Shen Nian stopped when she heard the sound, turned around and shone the flashlight in the direction of the sound, only to see Gu Yanqing running towards her quickly.

"Yan Zhiqing, did you hear the dog barking too?"

Shen Nian asked, the flashlight beam swaying in the night, reflecting Gu Yanqing's anxious face.

"Yes, I heard some dogs barking and was worried that something happened at the chicken farm, so I came to check it out. Are you going to the chicken farm too?" Gu Yanqing's tone was filled with anxiety.

"I suspect there is a chicken thief. Uncle Gu and Aunt Su live in the chicken farm, and I'm worried about them!" Shen Nian explained briefly, and his pace unconsciously quickened a bit.

The two of them ran towards the chicken farm together. The moonlight shone brightly on the ground. Apart from the barking of dogs in the distance, the only sound around them was the sound of the two people running.

The barking of dogs was getting closer and closer, more and more urgent, and seemed to be mixed with people's screams, which made Shen Nian's heart rise to his throat.

Finally, they arrived at the chicken farm. The door was closed. Shen Nian knocked on the door and shouted, "Aunt Su, Uncle Gu! How are you?"

Su Dingyi in the room heard Shen Nian's voice and quickly patted Gu Jianhua: "Listen, is it Xiao Nian calling us?"

Gu Jianhua pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard Shen Nian's voice amidst the barking of the dogs.

He stood up quickly: "Ding Yi, I'm going to open the door, don't come out yet!"

Gu Jianhua walked out quickly with a flashlight in his hand, shining the flashlight on the ground, looking at the man who was being bitten by Zhaocai and the others and was still struggling.

Gu Jianhua quickly ran away and opened the gate: "Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian is here?"

"Yes, Uncle Gu, Yan Zhiqing and I heard something strange about the dog barking tonight, so we hurried over to take a look." Shen Nian said as he walked quickly into the yard.

"Xiao Nian, they were chicken thieves. Your aunt Su and I don't know how many people there were. Zhaocai and the others were shouting so loudly at that time. I was worried that there were too many of them, so I didn't dare to come out to see." There was a hint of fear in Gu Jianhua's tone.

"Uncle Gu, you did the right thing. The chicken is gone, and the most important thing is that the people are safe! Where's Aunt Su? Is she okay?"

As Shen Nian spoke, he shone the flashlight in the direction of the four green-eyed dogs and saw the person lying on the ground.
