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

Chapter 170 The chickens in the chicken farm started laying eggs

When Shen Nian heard Li Shunli's words, her eyebrows slightly frowned, but her clear eyes did not reveal too much disappointment.

She knew very well that in this era without modern technology such as surveillance and Sky Eye, it was really not easy to arrest a suspect based on just a few words.

She still remembers watching TV in the past and seeing many cases where suspects had been on the run for decades before being apprehended and brought to justice. There were even many fugitives who were still at large, not caught, and not punished by law.

"Captain Li, what will you do with these people you've captured?"

Shen Nian asked, with a subtle firmness in her voice, as if she was ready to face any outcome.

Li Shunli stared at Shen Nian seriously. This was the first time he stared at her so seriously. The girl's pretty face revealed a kind of perseverance, which made him admire her more.

He looked away and replied solemnly, "Based on the crimes they confessed, we will punish them severely according to the law. Those who deserve prison sentences will be sentenced, and those who deserve hard labor will be sent to labor camps. We will show no leniency. As for the fugitive suspect, we will continue to pursue him until he is brought to justice."

Li Shunli explained this to Shen Nian in detail, and was also surprised by Shen Nian's extraordinary calmness. This girl seemed to be able to remain calm and resilient no matter what situation she encountered.

Shen Nian nodded in understanding. She knew very well that in this era, most prisoners were sent to labor camps unless they committed a capital crime.

"Okay, Captain Li, you continue with your work. I'm going back." Shen Nian said

Li Shunli looked at Shen Nian, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to start.

"By the way, Shen Zhiqing, how is Lin Yu doing recently? He hasn't come to my place for several days."

When Li Shunli heard what he asked, he felt a little regretful. He clearly wanted to show concern for Shen Nian, but how come he ended up asking about Lin Yu's situation?

"Lin Zhiqing's house is about to be repaired, so he should be very busy during this period." Shen Nian replied.

Li Shunli heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he'd successfully changed the subject. He smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good. As long as he didn't go out and cause trouble."

"Captain Li, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your thing. I'm going back." Shen Nian didn't really want to talk about Lin Yu. After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was really leaving, Li Shunli also stood up and walked her to the door. "Comrade Shen, please be careful on your way back. If you have any questions, please come to me anytime. Whether it's business or personal, you're always welcome here."

……

As soon as Shen Nian opened the gate, Shen Nianle rushed out: "Sister! Sister! You are finally back!"

"What's wrong? Why are you so excited?" Shen Nian asked curiously as he pushed the bicycle into the yard.

"How can I not be excited! Sister, if you hear this news, you will definitely be more excited than me!" Shen Nianle said mysteriously.

Shen Nian raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? Tell me and I'll listen."

"The good news is... the chickens in your chicken farm laid eggs this morning!" Shen Nianle shouted excitedly.

"What?" Shen Nian's eyes lit up like stars instantly when he heard that, and an expression of disbelief and surprise appeared on his face.

"Really? The chickens we raised have started laying eggs?" She said as she hurried out the door, not even bothering to drink a sip of water, and ran towards the chicken farm.

Shen Nianle followed closely behind, continuing to shout excitedly as he ran: "Yes, yes, Aunt Shen and Sister Chuntao's mother found it this morning. When I went to see it, the eggs were still warm! I even counted how many there were! Oh, sister! Slow down, wait for me!"

As expected, Shen Nianle was so busy keeping up with Shen Nian's pace that he stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, Shen Nian'an, who had been following behind him, was quick-witted and grabbed him: "Please run slower, my sister can't take care of you right now."

"Hey, brother? Why are you here too?" Shen Nianle asked curiously.

Shen Nian'an shook the kettle in his hand and explained, "I didn't even have a sip of water when you called me to the chicken farm right after I came back. I was worried she was thirsty, so I brought some water. You were too impatient. You couldn't wait for me to take a break before speaking."

Shen Nianle chuckled and scratched his head: "I'm just happy for my sisters. I forgot for a moment. Brother, you're so nice. You even remember to bring me water."

"Stop flattering me."

While the two were talking, Shen Nian had already run to the chicken farm. She pushed open the door and saw Ye Jiaojiao squatting in front of a chicken, observing something carefully.

"Jiaojiao, what are you looking at?"

"I'm waiting for this chicken to lay eggs!" Ye Jiaojiao just finished answering when she reacted. She turned around and saw Shen Nian pushing the door open. She shouted happily, "Sister Nian, you're back?"

"Yes, Jiaojiao, the chicken you are observing is a rooster and cannot lay eggs." Shen Nian reminded.

Ye Jiaojiao pointed at the chicken and said, "What! It's a rooster? I thought it was a hen that would lay eggs, so I squatted and observed it for a while."

Shen Nian burst out laughing: "Hahaha, it seems that our Jiaojiao still needs to learn more about how to distinguish between roosters and hens."

Ye Jiaojiao blushed in embarrassment, then excitedly pulled Shen Nian's hand: "Sister Nian, forget about the roosters and hens for now, just follow me! Look, our chickens are laying eggs!"

Shen Nian followed Ye Jiaojiao into the house quickly. Ye Jiaojiao pointed to a bamboo basket and said, "Sister! Look! These are the eggs that Mrs. Zhang and the others picked up today! They were all laid by the chickens we raised."

Shen Nian squatted down and looked carefully at the small and round eggs in the bamboo basket, feeling the reality they brought, and an irrepressible joy surged in his heart.

"Really, it really laid eggs..." There was a hint of trembling in Shen Nian's voice.

Although she had long guessed that her chickens might lay eggs earlier than ordinary chickens with the blessing of the space spring water, when the results were actually in front of her, the shock and joy still made it difficult for her to control herself.

"Sister, am I right? Are you more excited than me?" Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle ran in at the right time, and Shen Nianle said with some pride.

Shen Nian smiled and nodded, patting Shen Nianle's head gently: "Yes, Xiaole is right, I am more excited than you."

Shen Nian'an quickly handed over the kettle and said with concern: "Sister, drink some water first, you will be busy later."
