Chapter 153 I'll take you back
Shen Nian and Lin Yu had just pushed the bicycles out when Li Shunli appeared behind them unexpectedly.
"What's wrong, uncle?" Lin Yu turned around and looked at him in confusion, with some puzzlement in his eyes.
Li Shunli glanced at Lin Yu calmly, then fixed his gaze on Shen Nian: "I'll take you and Shen Zhiqing back."
Lin Yu... ?
He finally had the chance to be alone with Shen Nian, but his uncle wanted to send him back?
he does not want!
"Uncle, no need. You are so busy here, just go and do your thing. We can go back by ourselves."
Lin Yu tried his best to make his tone sound relaxed and natural, not wanting Li Shunli to notice his reluctance.
However, Li Shunli didn't seem to hear Lin Yu's reluctance, and just insisted:
"No, I'm worried that there are still some remnants of that group. I won't feel at ease unless I send you back."
While the two were talking, Shen Nian had already gotten on her bicycle. She looked at Li Shunli and Lin Liang, interrupting Lin Yu who seemed ready to fight for several rounds to determine the winner.
"Li Gongan, Lin Zhiqing, you guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first." After saying that, he rode away on his bike without waiting for the two to respond.
Lin Yu stared at Shen Nian as he left alone, and when he realized what was happening, he suddenly became anxious.
"Uncle! Look at you!" He glared at Li Shunli, then quickly got on his bike and caught up with him.
Seeing this, Li Shunli quickly got on his bicycle and chased after him. Unfortunately, until they reached Shuangxi Brigade, neither of them caught up with Shen Nian.
Before leaving, Lin Yu stomped his feet at his uncle to express his dissatisfaction.
Li Shunli was staring in the direction of Shen Nian's house.
As Shen Nian pushed his bicycle into the yard, he saw Shen Nianle sitting under the grape trellis with a sad face. He looked at his watch and it was time to go home from school at noon.
"Sister, you're back." Shen Nianle called out listlessly.
Seeing this, Shen Nian quickly parked his bicycle, walked quickly to sit next to Shen Nianle, and asked with concern: "Xiao Le, what's wrong with you? Where's your brother?"
"My brother went to Li Jichu's house." Shen Nianle replied.
"Huh? Li Jichu?" Shen Nian asked puzzledly.
"Yes, it's Goudan. His real name is Li Jichu." Shen Nianle explained.
Upon hearing this, Shen Nian nodded in understanding. This name should have been given by Aunt Goudan.
Looking at Shen Nianle's expression as he looked up at the sky, Shen Nian gently patted his head: "Xiao Le, what's wrong with you? Tell me, what happened? Did someone bully you?"
Shen Nianle shook her head, but there was a trace of worry on her face: "Sister, it's not me who was bullied, it's Li Jichu."
"It's Goudan." Shen Nianle added.
Shen Nian frowned slightly when he heard this: "Goudan? Who bullied him?"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Nian suddenly remembered that the primary school was in the Qingshan Brigade next door, and Goudan's father was from the Qingshan Brigade, where Goudan's so-called "relatives" were.
Shen Nianle's words also confirmed Shen Nian's guess: "As for the two brothers from the Li family, after school today, my brother and I went to Goudan's class to look for him, and we saw Li Wenyuan pushing Goudan! Li Wenqian also scolded Goudan, saying that Goudan was a bastard and didn't deserve the surname Li. Goudan was so angry that he started fighting with them."
After listening to Shen Nianle's narration, Shen Nian asked with concern: "Is Goudan injured?"
Shen Nianle shook his head. "Goudan wasn't hurt. My brother went up and kicked each of them, and they started fighting with my brother. But my brother wasn't hurt either. It was Li Wenqian who told us to wait, saying that we wouldn't be able to come back with good arms and legs after school this afternoon."
When Shen Nian heard this, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"What grade are these two people in? How dare they be so arrogant?" Shen Nian asked.
"Third grade! A year higher than my brother and I! They only dare to bully Goudan, a first grader."
Shen Nianle said indignantly, his tone full of anger and dissatisfaction towards the Li brothers.
"You're so arrogant in your third year? Do you want to break your arms and legs?"
Shen Nian blurted out involuntarily, his tone full of anger and protectiveness.
Then she stood up, patted Shen Nianle on the shoulder, and comforted her, "Xiaole, don't worry, I'm here. I'll pick you up after school this afternoon. Go to Goudan's house first and bring Goudan and your brother back."
Shen Nianle nodded. Although he was still a little worried, he felt a little relieved when he saw his sister. As soon as he stood up, Shen Nian called him.
"Hey, Xiaole, these are the buns I brought for your sister Jiaojiao. You can take them to the Youth League Home and give them to your sister Jiaojiao." Shen Nian handed Ye Jiaojiao's buns to Shen Nianle.
Shen Nianle took the bun, ran out of the yard quickly, and ran towards the Youth League Home.
After Shen Nian moved the things back into the house, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
She steamed the meat buns she brought back from the state-owned restaurant together with the leftover rice from last night. There was still some meat left from last night's stew, so Shen Nian planned to stir-fry some shredded potatoes with vinegar, and that would be it for lunch.
As soon as she brought the vinegar-fried shredded potatoes to the table, Shen Nianle and Shen Nian'an walked in with Goudan.
Seeing this, Shen Nian quickly put down the plate in her hand and walked over. Her eyes fell gently on Goudan, carefully checking whether he was injured anywhere.
"Xiaochu, are you hurt anywhere? Tell your sister, don't be afraid." Shen Nian's voice was soft and firm, as if it could dispel all the haze.
When Goudan heard the word "Xiaochu", he was stunned. He looked up at Shen Nian. After seeing Shen Nian's concerned eyes, he quickly lowered his head with slightly red eyes.
Then he remembered that Shen Nian was asking him a question, so he quickly raised his head, forced a smile, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Seeing Goudan like this, Shen Nian didn't ask any more questions. He invited the three of them to sit at the table and prepared to use a meat bun lunch to resolve all the unpleasantness.
"Sister! You bought meat buns from the state-owned restaurant!"
Shen Nian'an exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the meat buns that Shen Nian brought in. He wanted to use this cheerful tone to liven up the atmosphere.
Seeing him like this, Shen Nian also agreed: "Yes! It's freshly baked today, you three should eat more!"
As Shen Nian spoke, he gave each of them a bun first: "Xiao Chu, let's eat first if there is anything. Once you are full, those things will not be a problem." Shen Nian's voice was warm and powerful.
When Goudan heard Shen Nian's words, the tears in his eyes finally fell. He nodded vigorously, his voice choked with sobs: "Well, thank you Sister Nian Nian."
He lowered his head and took a bite of the bun. The rich aroma of meat and the concern of Shen Nian and her two siblings surged into his heart. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and gave the three of them a grateful smile.
Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle looked at each other and said nothing. They just ate the buns in their hands with big mouthfuls and picked up some vegetables for Goudan from time to time, fearing that he would not be full.
