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

Chapter 110 Uncle and Nephew Reminisce

"Xiaoyu, why did you think of coming here? Who are these two?" Li Shunli came over and poured water for the three of them before asking.

"Uncle, I'm working in the Shuangxi Brigade now. They are from the same Youth League as me." Lin Yu didn't want to introduce Hu Tingting and the other one, so he just said that they were from the same League."

Hu Tingting was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yu's introduction. Before Li Shunli could speak, Hu Tingting spoke first.

"Uncle! Hello, I'm Hu Tingting, Lin Yu's fiancée. Aunt Li said you held me in your arms when I was little!"

Hu Tingting’s words stunned Li Shunli and Lin Yu.

Li Shunli frowned slightly. His sister had indeed mentioned to him before that Lin Yu had been arranged to be married, but he always thought it was a joke between the two adults.

This time, Lin Yu secretly signed up to go to the countryside. His sister even called him and asked him to take better care of her. She also said that Lin Yu's fiancée was also there, so he should take better care of her as well.

At that time, he also said to his sister that everyone is in love on their own now, and it is not acceptable for parents to arrange their relationship. His sister retorted him, saying what if the two of them fell in love in the countryside.

Judging from the current situation, his nephew obviously has no good feelings towards this girl named Hu Tingting.

But the girl seemed to have taken a liking to him, and the way the other girl next to him looked at her nephew seemed a little strange.

Lin Yu was a little angry. He didn't expect Hu Tingting to tell everyone that she was his fiancée. They had clearly made three agreements before going to the countryside, but not long after going there, many people knew about it.

Lin Yu quickly explained to her uncle: "Uncle, don't listen to her nonsense, she and I..."

"Hey, Lin Yu, why are you shy? There's nothing shameful about what happened between us. What's wrong with letting your uncle know?" Hu Tingting interrupted Lin Yu.

Li Shunli's eyes moved between the three people. In the end, he decided not to pursue these issues for the time being, so he changed the subject.

"Since you're here, why don't you all sit down for a while? Xiaoyu, are you adjusting well to your time in the countryside?"

Seeing that his uncle had changed the subject, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sighed and said, "Uncle, to be honest, life in the countryside is really not easy. This country life is completely different from what I imagined!

"The winter here is too cold, and we arrived too late. There's no firewood to heat the kang! The old educated youth wouldn't let me use their firewood! During the day, I can only wrap myself in a thick cotton-padded jacket and sit by the brazier."

Li Shunli listened to Lin Yu's complaints with a frown on his face. He was about to say something, but then he remembered the current environment and that the conditions in the countryside were not satisfactory.

Li Shunli pondered for a moment before speaking, "Xiaoyu, I know life in the countryside is hard, but since you're going, you have to learn to adapt. As for the firewood issue, my uncle will find a way to help you, but you also have to figure it out on your own and can't always rely on others. Those old educated youth aren't willing to share their firewood, probably because they don't have enough themselves. You should try to communicate with them, or find other ways to solve the problem."

Lin Yu nodded. He now understood that he could not rely on anyone in this place. The only person he could rely on, his uncle, seemed to be very busy and had no time to deal with him.

Li Shunli patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "My uncle will try his best to find time to visit you. Your mother is also very worried about you. When you have time, please write to her more often to let her know that you are safe."

Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled bitterly. He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Uncle, actually... I have another problem. I have almost no money left on me and can't send a letter."

When Li Shunli heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "When you came out, your parents didn't give you any money?"

Lin Yu lowered her head awkwardly and whispered, "Yes, my parents gave me some money, but... but I accidentally lost some of it on the train, and when I got here I had a lot of things to buy, so I spent it all."

Li Shunli's brows did not relax after hearing this explanation. He sighed deeply and looked at Lin Yu with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.

His nephew has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, and he probably has never been short of money. It is really hard for him that he can wait until now to come to him.

Hu Tingting watched this scene from the side, feeling a little uncomfortable. She couldn't help but ask, "Lin Yu, why didn't you tell me you lost your money? Don't you still have me? I have money! I can give you money to spend!"

Lin Yu rolled her eyes at Hu Tingting: "I have parents and an uncle, why should I spend a girl like you're money?"

Hu Tingting was stunned by Lin Yu's words. She didn't expect Lin Yu to refuse her help so directly and separate from her so clearly.

In her opinion, it was natural for her and Lin Yu to help each other, not to mention that she came from a well-off family and didn't care about this little money.

Li Shunli noticed that Hu Tingting's expression was a little strange, so he quickly tried to smooth things over. "Comrade Hu, don't blame Xiaoyu. He probably didn't want to trouble you too much. You know, boys sometimes have strong pride and don't want to accept help from girls."

After hearing this, although Hu Tingting still felt uncomfortable, she had no choice but to nod and stop talking.

Li Shunli looked at the three people in front of him. He had his own way of interrogating criminals, but he couldn't speak casually.

He simply said to Lin Yu and the other two, "Have you eaten yet? How about we go eat?"

Hearing about eating, Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Uncle, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat!"

Li Shunli heard this, looked at Lin Yu's eager eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, then let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat."

Then Li Shunli said, "Xiaoyu, go wait for me at the door for a few minutes. I'll come back after I pack some things."

Lin Yu nodded when he heard this, and took Hu Tingting and Wang Hongying out of the house.

Li Shunli locked all the documents that Lin Yu and the others had read when they came in into the drawer, changed out of his police uniform, and then left the office.

"Let's go." Li Shunli waved to Lin Yu and the other two, and the four of them walked towards the state-owned hotel together.
