Wen Ran helped the old man pluck the feathers of the ducks. Chicken feathers are easy to pluck, and experienced people can almost pluck all the hairs.

Duck feathers are different, there are a lot of tiny fluff left on the flesh, the two elderly people, no matter how healthy their eyes are, their eyes are not so sharp, so they can only play with their senses.

While plucking the hair, Wen Ran chatted with Grandpa Sun who killed the chicken.

Grandpa Sun is very talkative. From him, Wen Ran learned that there were four families living in this valley. They had no food in the past. When they moved to this mountain, there were a lot of wild vegetables and wild food. Later, there was no shortage of food, and they all moved to other villages one after another. The old man has lived here all his life and is unwilling to go out.

But there are still a lot of grain fields here, so the government allocated funds to open roads, and electricity was also connected to use those farming and harvesting machines, otherwise their cars would not be able to drive in.

Grandma Sun was infertile. In that feudal era, Grandpa Sun did not dislike her. The couple chose to adopt a daughter when they were middle-aged. Unfortunately, the daughter went to work in the city and ran away with the city people in the first year. They didn't go home, nor did they send any letters home.

They came back once in the third year. The couple were very happy and didn't care about her affairs. As a result, the daughter disappeared the next day after her return, taking the family's household registration book with her.

"She needs a household registration book to marry a man in the city, but she came back and stole it at home," Grandpa Sun said, wiping the corners of his eyes, "Why don't you ask me for it, and I won't make things difficult for her Ah, you said that we have worked hard to raise her for more than 20 years, and in the end it is not as good as two strangers who stayed in our house for a night."

Wen Ran didn't know how to comfort him for a while, he had seen many examples of ungratefulness in the news, but he had never seen such a real one.

If they hadn't met Shen Mingchuan and the others, these two old people would probably have nowhere to rely on, and they are still healthy and able to work. When they can't work, they must wait for the government to provide relief, or they will starve to death in this mountain.

"Xiao Shen Xiaoji and the others will come to visit our two old guys once a year, and they will send people to give us things at other times. It has been more than ten years and has never been broken. Look at the two big trees behind the house, they are their first. It was planted in the past year."

Wen Ran looked up at the back of the house, and sure enough there were two trees, of unknown species, standing tall and straight.

"Don't you all want to live in the city?"

With Shen Mingchuan and Ji Chengan's ability, it is not difficult to get the two old people to the city. In this big mountain, there are no neighbors to take care of them. It is too inconvenient for the two old people to live here. There is nowhere to see them when they are sick. .

"We have lived here all our lives, and we are reluctant to leave."

Wen Ran quite understands this feeling, his parents have also lived in that small county all their lives, and Wen Ran wants to take them over, but they are not willing.

Qin Ziyan was sent by Ji Chengan to help Grandma Sun choose and wash vegetables, while he and Shen Mingchuan sat aside as a matter of course, watching them busy in the yard.

"Hey," Ji Chengan looked at Wen Ran who was seriously plucking his hair, and bumped Shen Mingchuan with his elbow, "Have you fallen?"

Ji Chengan has been abroad for a while, and when he came back to hear about this, his jaw dropped. It is not an exaggeration for him and Shen Mingchuan to grow up wearing a pair of underpants. Based on his understanding of Shen Mingchuan, he thought that this person would Be Liu Xiahui for a lifetime.

"Tch," Shen Mingchuan lit a cigarette, "How is that possible."

"Then what's going on? Don't tell me you're green, brother."

"Think too much." Shen Mingchuan rolled his eyes, and briefly told him what happened that night.

After hearing this, Ji Chengan's eyes widened, he clicked his tongue a few times, and said, "I can't tell, you're still a sharpshooter, and you won't be defeated if you don't support the wall."

Shen Mingchuan was quite proud.

"But Wen Ran is pretty good. If you guys can achieve a positive result, as brothers, I'd be happy to see it."

"No." Shen Mingchuan took a breath, "I have no feelings for him."

Ji Chengan knows Shen Mingchuan well, and knows that his so-called lack of feeling is not only psychological, but also physical. Shen Mingchuan is also a strange thing, not impotent, nor erectile dysfunction, but he is indifferent to or even has no needs in this regard. I don't know how to live to such an old age without being suffocated to death.

"Then what about him, he gave birth to your child, and he probably likes you, so you're going to divorce him in the future?"

"Don't tell me, he is much colder than me. After being married for so long, he still avoids me like he is avoiding me. I live under the same roof as him, and we can't see each other for two months. You can imagine our normal life. Live like a stranger."

"Huh? Such an exaggeration, I thought that with your charm, Wen Ran would be fascinated by you."

"He has a phobia of getting married. I think he will feel uncomfortable if he has too much contact with me. I don't want to interfere too much in his life. If the child is not really helpless, he would choose to have an abortion immediately."

At the beginning, the two got married in a fake way, and agreed to have physical and mental freedom in private without interfering with each other. Shen Mingchuan has been pursued by various men and women in the past few years. Knowing his own charm, at first he was worried that Wen Ran would fall in love with him if he got along too much. Therefore, his attitude towards Wen Ran was very indifferent.

As a result, after a while, he found that Wen Ran was more indifferent than him, hiding in his room when he had nothing to do, and trying to avoid the possibility of meeting him.

Except for occasions where it is necessary to show affection, at other times when they meet, they will at most politely say hello, without further words, and they don't even mean to be superficial friends.

"Is the marriage phobia so exaggerated?"

"It varies from person to person." Shen Mingchuan didn't study it specifically, so he didn't know very well, "I think he probably doesn't like life after marriage."

"One is frigid and the other is afraid of marriage. You really are a natural couple."

Dinner consists of boiled chicken, stir-fried snow peas with chicken and duck viscera, a bowl of steamed bacon, the whole duck is very big, half braised in soy sauce and half cooked with radish in soup, and a stir-fried vegetable.

Half of the dishes are made by Grandma Sun, and the other half are made by Wen Ran. The food cooked in a wood-fired iron pot is not exquisite, but it is so fragrant that it makes your index finger move.

Everyone praised Grandma Sun and Wen Ran for their good cooking skills. Even Shen Mingchuan, who was a picky eater, was surprised. Unexpectedly, Wen Ran's dishes were delicious.

The dinner was very enjoyable for the host and guests, and it was only after 8 o'clock after the meal, which was the beginning of the nightlife, but there was no nightlife in the mountains, and the mobile phone network was not good, so everyone had to wash up and sleep.

Fortunately, Shen Mingchuan and the others hired someone to install a water heater in the bathroom for the elderly, so that everyone was saved from the fate of using a pot to wash and squat in a latrine.

There are only three rooms in the old man's house, one is for the old couple, the other is for the adopted daughter, and the other is reserved for Shen Mingchuan, Ji Chengan and the others. They are all simplified versions of the traditional Babu bed, which is very large and can sleep two people. not crowded.

Just two people in one room, very harmonious.

Wen Ran and the others live in the adopted daughter's room. Although the old couple hates the adopted daughter for being ungrateful, they still have feelings for each other. The furnishings of the room have basically remained the same, and there is still the smell of the daughter's boudoir. It is cleaned spotlessly, and the sheets and bedding are new. Yes, there is also the fresh smell left by washing powder on it.

It's still early spring, and the night in the deep mountains is very cold. Wen Ran and Shen Mingchuan are in the same bed. It's the first time that the couple, who even have children, share the same bed in a waking state. There is a large gap, and the cold wind takes the opportunity to crazily penetrate into the bed.

Fuck, daddy is freezing to death.

Wen Ran couldn't take it anymore after lying down for a while, he was afraid of the cold, so he couldn't control himself to be on Shen Mingchuan's side, so he could only toss and turn like a pancake, relying on friction to keep warm, the bed creaked from his tossing.

"Don't move." Shen Mingchuan finally couldn't take it anymore and said out loud.

"You think I want to," Wen Ran said, "Aren't you cold?"

"It's okay," Shen Mingchuan turned to him and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Just barely shivering."

Shen Mingchuan didn't speak, Wen Ran felt a movement coming from him, and then, a warm body touched him, like a giant hand warmer, with heat coming from head to toe.

"Hmm." Wen Ran couldn't help moaning, it was so comfortable.

Wen Ran felt his body stiffen behind him, and then Shen Mingchuan's cold voice came from above his head, "Is your name Chun?"

"..." Wen Ran really wanted to strangle this frigidity to death, but in order not to be frozen to death, he held back and whispered, "Are you perverted?"

Shen Mingchuan snorted coldly, and generously ignored him.

It wasn't until ten o'clock after they took a shower and went to bed, even the drowsy Wen Ran felt very refreshed and couldn't fall asleep at all.

In this cold night in the deep mountains and wild forests, everything outside was silent, there was no sound at all, Wen Ran counted the sheep for a while, but she still didn't feel sleepy, so she couldn't help asking: "Hey, are you asleep?"

"No." Shen Mingyue's voice was sober, and it seemed that he was also suffering from insomnia.

Wen Ran smelled the fragrance of the quilt, and asked in a muffled voice, "Did you go to find Sun Xiumei later?"

Sun Xiumei is the adopted daughter of the two old people. The old people know which city Sun Xiumei has gone to. With Shen Mingchuan's ability, it is not difficult to find Sun Xiumei.

"I've looked for it." Shen Mingchuan said with care.

"and after?"

"Her husband is from a certain county in H province, and he is not well-off. She gave birth to four daughters for him, but she couldn't have a son, and they quarreled and divorced every day." Shen Mingchuan said succinctly.

"Pfft." Wen Ran didn't have patriarchal thoughts, but when he heard this kind of words, he felt inexplicably laughing, remembering a saying, one life is a little princess, and the next life is still a little princess, and when she gets angry, she gives birth to two little princesses , A litter full of little princesses.

"What happened later," Wen Ran asked again, "Do you know if the old man has any regrets after meeting you two nobles?"

"She doesn't know," Shen Mingchuan said indifferently, "she is ambitious, but she has no culture. If she goes to the city, she can't be Cinderella who meets the prince. She can only be at the bottom. She thinks all this is caused by the old man. I hate them for adopting her back then, and raising her in the deep mountains and old forests, where she didn't even go to school."

"So you don't think it's necessary to tell her? But what if..." Wen Ran paused, but couldn't help but ask the next question, "They don't care what Sun Xiumei does?"

Seeing that the old man completely kept the layout of Sun Xiumei's room, it is clear that the two elders still miss this ungrateful adopted daughter. Even if they knew that she came back just greedy for wealth, they would accept it.

Shen Mingchuan said: "I gave her more than one chance."

Wen Ran was taken aback, he didn't expect Shen Mingchuan and the others to achieve this level, he could even imagine that Shen Mingchuan and the others wanted to give Sun Xiumei a chance again and again, even if she had a little remorse, they could see the broad road behind her .

It can only be said that Shen Mingchuan and the others have done everything they can, and Sun Xiumei has no chance.

Otherwise, relying on the status of Shen Mingchuan and Ji Chengan, Sun Xiumei would have nothing.

"You guys have done a good job, Mr. Sun and the others are very happy now." Wen Ran said comfortingly.

There are no shops in the front of the village and no shops in the back. The house looks dilapidated, but the interior decoration is not inferior to those houses in the city. The furniture in the house are all expensive and high-quality goods, leather sofas, TVs, etc. There are quite a few satellite TV receivers in small pots, not to mention household items such as washing machines, refrigerators, water heaters, and induction cookers.

Wen Ran even saw that the carpet in the old man's room was the same as that in Shen Mingchuan's house.

It's just inconvenient here, there are no neighbors, but the old man is loving, and the couple are willing to live in isolation.

It can be said that they met Shen Mingchuan and Ji Chengan in life, they really did good deeds in their previous life.

"Perhaps." Shen Mingchuan said.

The two chatted for a while, Wen Ran felt Shen Mingchuan's warm body temperature, drowsiness gradually struck, and finally fell into a deep sleep, and unconsciously burrowed into Shen Mingchuan's arms after falling asleep.

Shen Mingchuan seldom has such intimacy with people, so he couldn't help but retreat a little bit out of the bed. After a while, Wen Ran nestled over as if he had a feeling, Shen Mingchuan moved him again and again, and finally when it was impossible to retreat, Shen Mingchuan was in the dark After staring for a while, he finally accepted helplessly that his "little wife", who was afraid of the cold, rolled into his arms again.
