Chapter 212: Just know how to turn your elbow outward

When Shen Shuyu went out, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. There was almost no one on the road. She was the only one walking on the road with her hands in her pockets and her neck hunched.

Shen Shuyu walked along, observing her surroundings all the way, and only after making sure that there was no one around did she enter the cowshed.

During the winter, Yang Zhen and Liang Jun in the cowshed have an easier time. They get up every day to clean up the cow dung in the cowshed and feed the cows. They don't have to do anything else and just stay in the house when they have nothing to do.

When she came, the grandfather and grandson were eating black flour steamed buns. "Grandpa, Grandma Liang, didn't I bring white flour and corn flour? Why are you eating this?"

Liang Jun smiled and asked her to sit down. "We can't eat white flour and cornmeal every day. We don't have much work to do now, so it's good for us to eat this."

In the cowshed, having black flour steamed buns to eat was already quite good. Old friends like Lao Yang,

After being sent to other places, we didn't even have black flour steamed buns. We were starving every day, feeling dizzy and weak all day long, but we just endured it and lived one day at a time.

They are here, and their granddaughter is secretly taking care of them. The team leader will not drag them out for criticism without reason, and the villagers will never come to humiliate them.

Although life in the cowshed was hard, their lives were better than those of most people who were sent down.

People should be content with what they have.

"I brought these foods here because I want you to eat better. If you eat well, your body will be healthy.

You work hard every day. If you don't get enough nutrition, your body will be deficient. Taotao is still young. If you don't take good care of your body, what will happen to him?"

She brought some white flour and cornmeal, but her grandparents didn't cook them much. When she came over, she saw that they were eating black flour steamed buns or wowotou.

They already did twice as much work in the cowshed as the villagers, and they did the most work.

The food they were given was the worst kind. They had never done farm work before and were sent here with the heavy workload on their shoulders. How could their bodies bear it if they didn't eat well?

"Oh, I know, I know. Starting tomorrow, we will mix white flour and cornmeal together."

"You should also drink a glass of malted milk every day."

Liang Jun felt warm in his heart. Their granddaughter was caring about them. "Okay, okay, we will drink it every day from now on."

Yang Zhen sat next to him without saying anything, but with a smile on his face.

"Will you feel cold when you sleep at night? Don't be reluctant to burn firewood. If the firewood is all burned, I will carry more firewood over."

"It's not cold. The quilt you brought is thick. We also heat the kang at night, so we won't be cold. We have everything we need. You don't need to bring anything else.

It's cold and snowing now, you just stay at home and don't need to come over here."

It was so cold, and Liang Jun really didn't want his granddaughter to come over to their place.

Shen Shuyu took out two roasted sweet potatoes and two roasted potatoes from his pocket, chatted with the two for a while, gave Taotao a handful of candy, and then went back.

Her grandmother was worried about her being outside, so she had to go back quickly, otherwise the old lady wouldn't be able to find her and would be anxious.

Old Mrs. Shen was indeed very anxious. Shen Chunling came out to look for her, but didn't see her eldest niece. She went back and told the old lady. Old Mrs. Shen came out in a hurry to look for her, as if she was afraid that her eldest granddaughter might be lost.

Shen Shuyu saw her grandma at the corner of the river. Seeing her grandma walking in a hurry, Shen Shuyu was afraid that she would fall, so she shouted, "Grandma, I'm here."

"Hey, where have you been? Your second aunt came out to look for you and said she couldn't find you."

"Grandma, I'll keep walking around here to see if there are any fish. If there are any, I'll take two home and make fish soup."

"It's icy and snowy here, the river is frozen, there are no fish, let's not go fishing, there is bacon at home, grandma will fry it for you."

Old Mrs. Shen dragged her granddaughter home, chattering away. When they got home, Gu Jiandong was still asleep, and Shen Shuyu did not come into the room to disturb his sleep.

This snow lasted for more than a week. The first thing Shen Jiabao and Gu Jiandong did when they woke up was to go up to the roof and sweep the snow.

They also have to go out to help clear the snow for the elderly people in the village who have no strong laborers at home.

The people in their Shenjiaba Brigade are simple and honest. If someone needs help with something, they don't need to ask, everyone knows and will come forward to help.

For example, when it comes to snow clearing, whoever’s family has finished clearing the snow will go out and help those in need in the village clear the snow.

Because of this, there are almost no incidents of people being crushed to death by roof collapse due to snow in their village every year.

Other brigades are not united enough, and every year there are one or two incidents where the roofs collapse because the snow is not cleared off the roofs in time.

Just today, Li Caixia’s parents came to ask Li Caixia to go back and help because the roof of their home collapsed.

Li Caixia saw her brother coming to her in distress and immediately became nervous. "Brother, what happened? Is there something wrong at home?"

Li Dagen handed a bag of cornmeal to his sister, "Sister, this is what my mother asked me to give you. There is nothing wrong at home, but it snowed too heavily last night.

I slept a little this morning and didn't get up in time to sweep the snow off the roof, so the roof of my mother's room collapsed."

"What? The roof of the room where I sleep collapsed? Is I okay?"

"No one is wrong. My mother was not in the house at the time. She was cooking in the kitchen when the roof collapsed.

Your sister-in-law and I can’t fix it alone, so I thought of asking Xiangnan and Jiaguo to come with me to fix my collapsed roof.”

Li Caixia missed her parents' home and shouted to her husband and son, "Xiangnan, Jiaguo, don't sleep any more. Get up and go back to my parents' home with me."

Her voice was urgent, and the father and son did not delay. They put on their clothes and came out quickly. When they saw Li Dagen and his son, they greeted them.

"Brother (uncle is here)."

Li Dagen nodded, "Xiangnan, Jiaguo, I'm sorry to bother you to come home with me today."

Li Caixia pushed the father and son out of the door while explaining, "My mother's roof collapsed and needs to be repaired."

"The roof collapsed. What happened to the people?"

"Everyone is fine, but the roof needs to be repaired quickly, otherwise it will be uninhabitable."

My mother-in-law's family usually treats Uncle Shen well. Now that my mother-in-law's family needs his help, he handles it as if it were his own business.

For fear that there were not enough people, they also called Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen San, and several people hurried to Li Caixia's parents' home.

They walked fast. Liu Pandi tried to stop her husband from going but failed. She pouted and said, "You bastard, you are just trying to be ungrateful." Her mother had work to do and she had never seen him so proactive.

She thought so in her heart, and complained to Old Lady Shen, "Mom, look at Xiangxi. Last time when my mom came to call him home to help harvest wheat, he pretended to be deaf and dumb. He didn't respond at all after being called for a long time, and he just refused to go home with my mom to work.

Now someone from my second sister-in-law's family came and called him, and he ran out happily. People who didn't know would think that the Li family was his in-laws' family."

Old Lady Shen was annoyed, "How dare you say that the third child doesn't help your family with work? He doesn't care about your family?

Whenever you go back to your mother's house, the third child will always go home with you. Once you arrive at your Liu's house, your parents, brother and sister-in-law, your younger brother and sister-in-law won't let him drink a sip of water, and will start assigning him tasks as soon as they open their mouths.

Working from morning till night, he couldn't even get a steamed bun. After work, he let the third child go home. He was also said behind his back that the third child came to your Liu family and acted like a boss, not treating your parents as his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

As for the Li family, every time the second son returned to his wife's house, the Li family would take out the best things to entertain their son-in-law.

The second son carried a few buckets of water, and the people in the old Li family praised their son-in-law for being diligent and never let him come back empty-handed.

This time, Li's eldest brother-in-law came to ask the second brother for help and brought a bag of cornmeal.

They are both Yue families, but look at how the Li family behaves and how your Liu family behaves? How dare you say that about my third son? If it weren't for my mother teaching him well, my third son would have long since given up on Yue families like your Liu family."
