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

Chapter 266 Gu Yanqing Repairs the Fence

Everyone thought about it for a while, and Zhang Huaifei couldn't help but put some food into his mouth with his chopsticks: "Mom, Shen Zhiqing doesn't need anything, right? I really can't think of what she needs."

"Sister-in-law, you are close to Shen Zhiqing, think about what she needs."

Wang Hongyan couldn't think of what Shen Nian might be missing, so she simply threw the question to Mrs. Zhang.

"Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian seems to have everything she needs. Mom, I...I can't think of anything either."

Mrs. Zhang smiled a little sheepishly. She had never seen Shen Nian lack anything. Short of cloth? Impossible. Xiao Nian had so many clothes and skirts that she changed them almost every day.

Lack of meat? Impossible, it's not a festival, and we can eat meat from time to time at home, and it's Xiaonian who sends it.

"Grandma, Xiaole said that Sister Nian Nian doesn't like to work in the fields. Why don't we go and help Sister Nian Nian pick peanuts today!" Chunyang suddenly suggested.

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard Chunyang's words, and she clapped her hands, saying, "Chunyang, this is a great idea! Since Xiaonian doesn't need anything, let's go pick some peanuts for her this afternoon. It'll be a small token of our appreciation."

Wang Hongyan also nodded in agreement. For other things, she might only be able to let her husband represent their small family, but she could do the job of picking peanuts herself.

"Mom, let's go help Shen Zhiqing pick peanuts. I remember your land is next to Shen Zhiqing's. After we finish picking Shen Zhiqing's, we will pick the peanuts that I am responsible for!" Wang Hongyan said with a smile.

"Okay, then hurry up and go back to the house to take a nap. We will go to the fields early in the afternoon." Aunt Zhang San said as she stood up.

……

Shen Nian and Su Dingyi took a nap, and as usual, went to the chicken farm to pick up eggs, and then went to the peanut field.

Unexpectedly, their peanut fields were clean, while Aunt Zhang's peanut field next to them was full of people squatting.

Su Dingyi was confused, but when Shen Nian saw a group of people in Aunt Zhang's field, she guessed something, but she was not too sure.

After all, Gu Yanqing would also secretly help her and Su Dingyi with some work when no one was around at noon.

Since I'm not sure, I'll just ask. Shen Nian thought so and walked towards Aunt Zhang San. A group of people were busy picking peanuts, and no one noticed Shen Nian approaching.

"Third Aunt?" Shen Nian called softly, and when the group of people heard the voice, they subconsciously looked up at her.

"Xiao Nian, you're here." Aunt Zhang greeted with a smile, her eyes full of kindness.

Shen Nian smiled and nodded, then looked around at everyone and asked, "Aunt San, were you and Uncle Zhang helping us to plant the peanuts in our field?"

Aunt Zhang glanced at her family members who were busy pulling peanuts, stood up, pulled Shen Nian aside, and explained the whole cause and effect in detail.

Shen Nian never thought that his fish and snake would cause Aunt Zhang and her whole family to come out and pick peanuts for him.

"Aunt San, you really don't have to help me with the work..."

"Xiao Nian, I know you have everything you need, but when the second son's wife said she wanted to do something for you, I was so happy." Aunt Zhang leaned close to Shen Nian's ear and whispered.

Shen Nian looked at Aunt Zhang helplessly, and lowered her voice to her: "Aunt Zhang, I am not the link that makes the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law better and better, am I?"

Aunt Zhang didn't understand what she meant later, but she understood the first part.

She smiled and nodded repeatedly, and then told the story of how Mrs. Zhang and she went to scold Zhang Fengfeng's family at noon.

When Shen Nian heard Aunt Zhang San scolding Zhang Fengfeng at noon, he immediately became interested and quickly asked Aunt Zhang San to stop talking for a while.

Then he quickly walked up to Su Dingyi and told her that it was Aunt Zhang who helped them to get the peanut field.

Su Dingyi looked at Aunt Zhang's family with some surprise, and felt a little envious. This family really has strength in numbers.

"Xiao Nian, since your third aunt has helped us, let's go and help them pick peanuts." Su Dingyi suggested.

Shen Nian smiled and nodded: "Aunt Su, I think so too."

Then he took Su Dingyi to Aunt Zhang and conveyed Su Dingyi's idea. Aunt Zhang didn't hesitate to talk to them, so the three of them joined the peanut-pulling team again.

While Shen Nian was pulling peanuts, he listened to Aunt Zhang San's vivid description of how she and Aunt Zhang had scolded Zhang Fengya's family so much at noon that they dared not leave the house.

Not long after, Aunt Zhang had finished picking the peanuts she was responsible for.

She did not let Shen Nian and Su Dingyi stay to help pick peanuts, but drove them away first, and then drove away a large group of people from her family.

Shen Nian and Su Dingyi had no choice but to return to the chicken farm, but found that the door of the chicken farm had been opened, but there was no one in the chicken farm and nothing was missing.

"Xiao Nian, Zhaocai and Jinbao are missing! Could this man be here to steal dogs recently?" Su Dingyi came out of the chicken coop and said to Shen Nian anxiously.

Shen Nian shook her head and said comfortingly, "Auntie Su, Dawang and Xiaowang are still here. Zhaocai and Jinbao are so smart, how could they be taken away by a stranger so easily?"

Su Dingyi nodded after hearing this. "Xiao Nian, you're right. They might have gone to the fields with your Uncle Gu. Gu Jianhua is really something. He came back to take the dogs away without even locking the door."

Su Dingyi muttered to herself and complained about Gu Jianhua, then turned around and went back into the house.

Shen Nian looked towards the forest. She suspected that the two dogs were taken out to play and had become accustomed to it. They took advantage of the broken fence at the back of the mountain and sneaked out again.

"Aunt Su, I'm going to take a look in the woods behind." Shen Nian shouted into the house and walked towards the woods.

Before reaching the broken fence, Shen Nian vaguely heard a sound coming from that direction.

She quickened her pace and walked over, and saw Gu Yanqing wearing a white vest, looking down and messing with something on the ground.

"Yan Zhiqing? What are you doing?" Shen Nian shouted.

Gu Yanqing was just about to roll up his vest and wipe the sweat from his forehead when he suddenly heard Shen Nian's voice and quickly put the half-rolled clothes down.

After quickly looking down to make sure he had done nothing inappropriate, Gu Yanqing turned back to look at Shen Nian.

"Shen Zhiqing, you're here. I've finished my work in the fields, so I thought I'd come to the chicken farm to repair the damage done by those two chicken thieves last night."

As Gu Yanqing spoke, he pointed to a pile of things on the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Nian frowned slightly and asked, "I can see that you are repairing the fence. Why did you want to repair the fence?"

"I just figured I'd have nothing to do anyway, so I'd better fill this place up sooner rather than later. This way, we can feel more at ease. After all, these chickens are the collective property of the brigade."

Gu Yanqing quickly made up an excuse. He couldn't tell Shen Nian that his parents were guarding the chicken farm here, and he would be worried at night if the broken fence was not repaired.
