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

Chapter 158 Lin Yu invites Shen Nian to cook

"Sister Nian!"

Ye Jiaojiao's voice interrupted the silence of Shen Nian and his sister. The brother and sister looked at each other, stood up tacitly, and walked out of the room together.

"Sister Jiaojiao, you're here! Where's Brother Gaoxuan?" Shen Nian'an greeted Ye Jiaojiao.

"Your brother Gao Xuan is following behind and will be here soon. Are you going to study?" Ye Jiaojiao responded with a smile. Looking at the book in Shen Nian'an's hand, she guessed that he was going to study in the cowshed opposite.

"Hey, I'll go now." Shen Nian'an said, turning around and calling out to Shen Nianle and Li Jichu who were still playing with fish in the kitchen.

Shen Nianle responded, ran out with Li Jichu, and the three of them left together.

"Sister Nian! Let's eat together tonight? I want to eat the pickled fish you made!"

Ye Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva and took a few steps forward impatiently, holding Shen Nian's hand and swaying it gently.

Shen Nian looked at her actions with amusement, and could not help but nodded with a smile: "Okay, then let's have a fish feast tonight."

When Ye Jiaojiao heard Shen Nian say the words "full fish banquet", she felt her saliva secreting even more.

At this time, Zhao Gaoxuan, who was carrying things behind, also arrived. He carried the fish and started to work beside the well in a familiar manner.

He was very skilled in killing and chopping fish, and he could even cut it into the shape Shen Nian wanted.

Shen Nian steamed the rice first, and then chatted with Ye Jiaojiao while preparing the side dishes.

"I see that Lin Yu and Hu Tingting's house is almost completed. It's true that having more people is good. It's only been less than half a month." Ye Jiaojiao said while picking vegetables.

Shen Nian heard this without stopping his movements: "Really? Then they should be able to move in soon."

"It will probably take at least another half a month, so the room needs to get some sun." Ye Jiaojiao said as she poured a ladle of water into the basin and squatted beside it to wash the vegetables carefully.

In the evening, Shen Nian made a spicy boiled fish and a pickled fish, and also stir-fried seasonal vegetables with the vegetables selected by Ye Jiaojiao.

There was no need for Shen Nian to go over and shout, Shen Nian'an and the other two came back after smelling the scent.

And in the Youth League compound just across the wall, Uncle Zhao, who was helping Lin Yu build his house, couldn't help but sigh while eating the multi-grain steamed bun in his hand:

"The food cooked by Shen Zhiqing is so delicious! I can eat several bowls of rice just by smelling it!"

Uncle Zhao's words caused everyone to laugh. Zhang Ergen, who was sitting next to him, swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Yu, who was concentrating on eating across from him.

"Lin Zhiqing, why don't you ask Shen Zhiqing to help us cook? If we eat the food cooked by Shen Zhiqing, we will definitely be very motivated. Maybe we can even move into your house earlier!" Zhang Ergen's words were a bit joking and a bit serious.

Lin Yu scratched his head and smiled, "I went to look for Shen Zhiqing, but she said she was busy and didn't have time."

"What is she busy with? Isn't it just feeding a few chickens? It's still a problem to keep them alive!"

Zhang Ergen's words were filled with a bit of contempt, and it was obvious that he had never been optimistic about Shen Nian raising chickens.

The captain's wife, who was sitting beside them, concentrating on eating a steamed bun, frowned when she heard this. She agreed with them that Shen Zhiqing's cooking was delicious. After all, she had eaten Shen Zhiqing's cooking herself, and it was indeed delicious!

But if they asked Shen Zhiqing not to raise chickens, she would disagree!

The educated young woman Shen raised chickens for her brigade! Especially since it was her husband who was the one who suggested it.

"Zhang Ergen, you can't say that. Shen Zhiqing is raising chickens to improve our brigade's life. How can you curse him for not being able to keep the chickens alive? Don't wait until the end of the year when the money is distributed to you to run away the fastest."

The captain's wife's voice was a bit majestic. Zhang Ergen looked at the person who spoke and immediately became dispirited.

He was secretly thinking in his heart, I don't want to bother with a woman like you, otherwise I will have to be talked to if I go back and complain. The captain's nagging is more severe than that of the woman at home, and he is annoyed.

Zhang Ergen closed his mouth in disappointment, lowered his head and continued to chew the steamed bun in his hand without saying anything else.

Seeing this, the captain's wife stopped paying attention to him and started chatting with the woman next to her about family matters.

"Lin Zhiqing, after you finish building this house, you must invite Shen Zhiqing to cook us a good meal to celebrate!" Uncle Zhao quickly suggested, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Oh, I don't know how that person has the nerve to say such things." The captain's wife continued to talk to the woman next to her. The woman next to her held back her laughter and nodded repeatedly. It was obvious that she also knew who the captain's wife was targeting.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I will definitely invite Shen Zhiqing over and make a sumptuous meal for everyone. It's also a way to thank everyone for their help during this period."

After saying this, Lin Liang secretly thought about how to talk to Shen Nian.

Hu Tingting, who was sitting next to him, was biting her gums until they were about to break. Shen Zhiqing! Shen Zhiqing! Why did everyone only remember Shen Zhiqing?

Could it be that her fiancée, a living being, was a dimension? Were they blind and couldn't see it?

Wang Hongying looked at Hu Tingting, who was gritting her teeth and not daring to fart, and could not help but lower her head and roll her eyes.

I thought Hu Tingting was very powerful, but this is the result?

Wang Hongying thought to herself, remembering how Hu Tingting used to love showing off her relationship with Lin Yu back in school. However, now that she was in the countryside, those so-called connections were no longer effective.

Not to mention the engagement, even the friendship between them growing up together could not compare to that with Shen Zhiqing, a young man they had only known for a few months.

Tsk tsk tsk, Wang Hongying muttered to herself, it seems that it is still Shen Zhiqing's tricks that have made Lin Yu confused.

She used to think that Hu Tingting was the biggest opponent preventing her from marrying Lin Yu, but now it seems that her biggest opponent is Shen Nian!

However, she changed her mind and thought that if Lin Yu could fall in love with someone else, he could definitely fall in love with her too!

Hu Tingting was burning with anger but had nowhere to vent. She glanced at Lin Yu beside her and saw that he was eating with his head down, completely unaware of her dissatisfaction, which made her even more angry.

But she didn't dare to make trouble with Lin Yu, so she could only compete secretly in her heart. She couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to find Zhang Fengfeng immediately and ask her why her plan had not started yet.

Hu Tingting stuffed the remaining steamed buns into Wang Hongying's bowl and hurried to find Zhang Fengfeng.

The result was naturally that Zhang Fengfeng was not found. After all, Zhang Fengfeng was being locked in the basement by Shitou and the other man.

Zhang Fengfeng, who was curled up in a ball due to hunger, had no idea that besides Hu Tingting, there was someone else looking for her outside.

She was full of hope that by the time she got out of this place, Shen Nian would have been dealt with by that group of people.

Outside the courtyard, everyone has different thoughts and ulterior motives.

Inside the small courtyard, however, everyone was happy.

At dinner time, Shen Nian and a few others sat under the grape trellis, enjoying the coolness brought by the gentle breeze.

Li Jichu drank the soup that Shen Nian had given him in the bowl in small sips, while Shen Nianan picked out the fish bones slowly and methodically.

Ye Jiaojiao ate the sour and appetizing pickled fish with a satisfied smile on her face. She exclaimed, "Sister! This is the taste!"

Shen Nianle nodded repeatedly. He loved spicy food. Although he was gasping for air due to the spiciness, he still refused to put down his chopsticks which were stuck in the spicy fish.

She didn't forget to respond to Ye Jiaojiao: "Sister Jiaojiao, your taste is really becoming more and more like mine. You love my sister's cooking so much! It seems that we really are 'not from the same family, not from the same door'."

Ye Jiaojiao giggled, picked up another large piece of fish for Shen Nianle, and joked, "Of course, since I can eat meat by following my sister, I naturally have to keep up."

Li Jichu, who was standing by, watched the interaction between the siblings, and the gentle smile in his eyes never stopped.

Shen Nian'an chewed the fish Ye Jiaojiao had picked up for him and mumbled, "Sister, let me just say your cooking skills are incredible! Whoever becomes our brother-in-law in the future will be incredibly lucky! What a blessing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table laughed. Shen Nian pretended to be angry and glared at Shen Nianle: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid! Come on and eat!"

After dinner, Zhao Gaoxuan took a few children to clean up the dishes, while Ye Jiaojiao and Shen Nian digested the food in the yard.

"Sister Nian, I think this kind of life is really good, simple and happy." Ye Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Zhao Gaoxuan leading a few little ones to wash dishes.

Shen Nian smiled gently, his eyes gently sweeping over every busy figure in the yard. Yes, such days are really nice.
