Chapter 267 Shen Nian wants Gu Yanqing to move to the chicken farm

Shen Nian did not expose Gu Yanqing's little thoughts, but nodded seriously and said slowly: "Then Yan Zhiqing, you can continue to make up for it."

After saying that, Shen Nian did not leave. Instead, he squatted on the ground beside him, staring at Gu Yanqing closely.

Gu Yanqing felt a little uncomfortable under Shen Nian's gaze, and quickly took off the short-sleeved shirt hanging on the fence and put it on, then continued to work.

As if noticing Gu Yanqing's unnaturalness, Shen Nian finally shifted his gaze and looked towards the back mountain.

"By the way, Yan Zhiqing, did Zhaocai and Jinbao follow you here? Did they run up the mountain again?" Shen Nian asked.

Gu Yanqing responded while fiddling with the bamboo in his hand: "Well, Zhaocai and Jinbao did come with me, and they ran to the back mountain as soon as they arrived."

Shen Nian's face showed that this was indeed the case. She knew that the two dogs would definitely take advantage of this hole to run out and have fun.

Gu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Nian didn't continue to stare at him. He didn't mind Shen Nian looking at him, but when Shen Nian kept staring at him, he always felt like she knew something.

After a while, Shen Nian spoke again, "Yan Zhiqing, if I ask you to move to the chicken farm and watch over it at night, would you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanqing paused, turned around and looked at Shen Nian: "Shen Zhiqing, are you saying that you want me to move from the Zhiqing Home to the chicken farm?" He frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering this proposal.

Shen Nian nodded, his expression serious. "Last time when we were hunting wild boars, I saw that you looked like you'd practiced before. And considering what happened last night, I think you're quite responsible. Most importantly, you have a keen eye for life. Aunt Su and Uncle Gu are old, and if something like last night happens again, you can still run to the brigade and call for help."

"Has the captain agreed to what you said?" Gu Yanqing collected his thoughts and continued to insert the bamboo with a calm expression.

Shen Nian explained, "I haven't gone to the captain yet. If I go to the captain first, wouldn't that be a notification to you? I wanted to discuss it with you first to see what you think."

After listening to Shen Nian's words, Gu Yanqing turned to look at her and said, "I agree. Shen Zhiqing, please go talk to the team leader."

Shen Nian had completely expected that Gu Yanqing would agree.

She smiled gently, with a glint of understanding in her eyes: "Okay, then I'll go talk to the captain later."

Gu Yanqing looked at her smiling eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, and couldn't help but probe:

"Shen Nian, you want me to move to the chicken farm, is it really just because you think I'm responsible? Is there no other reason?"

Shen Nian didn't expect Gu Yanqing to suddenly ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, and then her smile became a little subtle: "Yan Zhiqing, when you say that, do you think you have some secrets?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanqing fixed his gaze on Shen Nian. After pondering for a moment, he finally shook his head: "No."

"That's it, I just saw that you have some fist fighting skills, so I wanted you to guard the chicken farm. It's settled then. I'll go find the captain later, you can continue with your work."

After Shen Nian finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Gu Yanqing alone to continue mending the fence.

When Shen Nian came out of the woods, she saw Su Dingyi stamping chicken grass. She walked over and squatted beside her.

"Aunt Su, Zhaocai and Jinbao didn't go to the fields with Uncle Gu. Yan Zhiqing was repairing the fence for us in the back, and they went with him." Shen Nian said.

Hearing this, Su Dingyi looked up at Shen Nian, then turned to look at Lin Zi: "Xiao Nian, you said Yan Qing is helping us repair the fence?"

Shen Nian nodded. "Yeah, it's not finished yet. He'll probably need a while to do it alone. Also, Aunt Su, I told you this morning about asking Yan Zhiqing to move to the chicken farm, and he agreed. Once he finishes repairing the fence, I'll talk to the team leader about it."

When Su Dingyi heard the news, she paused for a moment, then smiled:

"When he first came, we were worried that he would get too close to us and cause gossip. Who knew he would offend the people at the Youth Home right after he arrived? It's a good idea to move to the chicken farm. As for him, he can at least look after us."

Shen Nian looked at Su Dingyi's smile and said, "Aunt Su, after Yan Zhiqing moves to the chicken farm, you may have to move back to the cowshed."

"I've thought about it. It's better to go back to the cowshed. Your Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu are still there. If I go back to the cowshed and live there, there will be someone to call when your Grandma Gu gets up at night."

Su Dingyi comforted Shen Nian and told her not to think too much. The current arrangement was already very good for their family.

The two of them didn't say anything else. After a while, the chicken grass was tamped. Shen Nian brought cornmeal from the house and mixed it with the chicken grass.

After finishing all this, she clapped her hands and said, "Auntie Su, I'm going back first. I'll go find the team leader after work."

Su Dingyi smiled and agreed: "Okay, Xiaonian, you can go back."

……

The team leader and Shen Nian walked one after the other in the woods of the chicken farm.

The captain looked at Shen Nian, who was walking in front of him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Xiao Nian, don't you really need me to find a few people to repair the damaged area? What if another chicken thief comes tonight?"

Shen Nian stopped and explained, "Captain, come with me first and we'll talk after we've seen it."

"Xiao Nian, I already checked it this morning. Even if I take another look now, I still have to find someone to repair it."

The captain continued speaking while following Shen Nian's steps, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Shen Nian tilted his head slightly, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Captain, please don't be anxious. Let's take a look first. What if the snail girl has already helped us fix it?"

"Xiao Nian, stop teasing your uncle. There are very few snail girls in our team..."

The captain's words were interrupted by the repaired wall in front of him. He looked surprised: "Hey, there really is a snail girl in our team? Xiao Nian, who repaired this? Did you repair it?" As he said, he walked closer to take a look.

Shen Nian did not hide anything and said directly: "Uncle, I might be able to do other jobs, but this job was not done by me. It was Yan Zhiqing who repaired it for us."

"Yan Zhiqing?" The captain said, and there was suddenly a subtle change in his eyes when he looked at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian noticed something strange about the captain and asked in confusion, "Captain, what's wrong? What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
