Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen was half-squatting, with one hand on his lap, and the other hand also holding a branch to stir up the fire.

The flickering and dancing light of the fire reflected on his young and cold face, and his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he spoke calmly.

"When I remember, I have settled with my father and mother and live in Chenyang Village. They were so busy making ends meet that they didn't have much time to give me or tell me what I could do. At that time, I used to stay alone in the yard, counting the ants on the ground and waiting for them to return. ”

"Then when I was seven years old, they suddenly told me that I could go to school and that they were going to send me to school. But the master in the school rarely taught me to read and write, and I was the slowest learner. Later, I found out that it was my father and mother who asked the master not to teach me. ”

Lin Xi sighed and wondered, "Why did your father and mother do that?" You have the money to send you to study, why don't you want the master to teach you well? ”

"I don't know."

Shen Chen simply sat cross-legged on the ground, his gaze moving to the stone tablet.

He said slowly, "Before I could ask them, they died. Before they died, they told me to live a good life as an ordinary person. But there are also people in the village like the Yu family in Erdao Village, who occupy the land and real estate left by my father. At that time, I was still young, and I couldn't do anything, so I could only bury my father and mother hastily. ”

Lin Xi's eyes suddenly widened, and he went over and sat down next to Shen Chen, "When are the people in the village so excessive?" Then why are they embarrassed to ask you for help now! ”

Shen Chen smiled, but his tone remained unmoved, and said, "Human nature is probably like this. When they are down, they all want to step on a piece of the pie, and when they are proud, they all come to chase after them. I didn't want to stay in Chenyang Village, so I left. ”

Lin Xi didn't hear it, and said, "But you were still so young at that time, and you must have suffered a lot outside." What did you do afterwards? ”

Shen Chen looked at her distressed look and softened in his heart. He held Lin Xi's hand, squeezed her palm comfortingly, and said, "I didn't have much bitterness, I met a nobleman." ”

"Noble?"

"Well, this noble man showed me a way to go. Then I studied hard and practiced diligently, and after several years of hard work, I earned a family business and sent someone back to repair this tomb for my father and mother. ”

He pointed to the Gaoling stone monument in front of him.

Lin Xi asked, "Didn't you come back in person?" ”

Shen Chen said: "Hmm." ”

Lin Xi asked tentatively; "You didn't come back when you were proud, why are you in Chenyang Village now? Isn't it...... What happened next? ”

She glanced vaguely at Shen Chen's lameness.

Shen Chen actually noticed Lin Xi's scrutiny and said, "It did happen." Once, a noble man sent me to do something, and I did something wrong. The nobleman was angry and no longer trusted me. I didn't want to stay any longer and come back with my children. If nothing else......"

His voice suddenly lowered: "I may only be a hunter for the rest of my life." ”

Lin Xi was stunned.

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi steadily, and his voice was hoarse: "Marry me, I wronged you." ”

For some reason, Lin Xi felt a dull pain in his heart, which was not obvious, but it was dense and inexorable.

She immediately grabbed Shen Chen's hand and said categorically: "What is this?" When Orion is Orion, it doesn't affect our lives. If you want me to see, we are nested here, with four children, eating and drinking well every day, safe and smooth, no disease and no disaster, it is already a good day that I don't know how many people can hardly find! ”

Anyway, she has had enough of the days before wearing books.

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen and said seriously: "You are such a good person, you married the original owner...... No, marrying me is considered a grievance. But it's okay, I'll make others envy you in the future. ”

Shen Chen's heart warmed, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He looked at Lin Xi deeply, stroked her cheek with his big hand, approached her little by little, and whispered, "With you, I am also very satisfied." ”

Lin Xi seemed to be bewitched, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

The corners of Shen Chen's lips hooked slightly, his hand moved to the back of Lin Xi's neck, and pressed the person towards him.

The air heated up suddenly, hot and ambiguous, and it was impossible to tell whose heartbeat was more obvious.

At this moment, Erbao's exclamation suddenly sounded: "Who?!" Daddy, Aunt Lin, someone! ”

Lin Xi suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.

Shen Chen's enlarged version of Junrong was close at hand, and Lin Xi pushed him away, coughing embarrassedly.

Not far away, Erbao and Sanbao stumbled one by one, almost falling to the ground, dumbfounded.

Sibao's face was buried in Dabao's arms, and Dabao silently turned his head to look at the place.

Shen Chen was still holding Lin Xi, his expression was slightly sluggish.

After a few moments of silence, Shen Chen turned his head and looked at the children expressionlessly.

Erbao immediately pointed to the left-hand side, "Someone!" What a person! Just now, a figure ran away with a whoosh, like a mouse. ”

Lin Xi hurriedly said, "Really? That's not sloppy, can you still see people? ”

Sambo: "...... The man is gone. ”

Lin Xi, who had just gotten up: "......"

What a stupid question she asked!

At this point, even if someone is gone, of course.

Ahhh

Lin Xi glared at Shen Chen with disgust.

Shen Chen took a deep breath, stood up on the ground, and said, "Wait for me here, I'll take a look." ”

"Go, go, go!"

Lin Xi wished that he should hurry up and leave first, so that she could slow down.

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi helplessly and walked in the direction pointed by Erbao.

After he left, Lin Xi looked at the four children, who looked around with a look of "I don't exist".

Lin Xi cried and laughed: "Okay, okay, come here, are you hungry?" ”

The four treasures immediately ran over with a grin.

Lin Xi first used a thin mattress to lay it out, and then took out the food, which was mainly porridge from meat patties, buns and crockpots, which were still warm.

They all finished eating, and Shen Chen came back.

Lin Xi asked in surprise, "Why did you go for so long?" Who have you found? ”

Shen Chen twisted his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "No." It should be someone who happens to be passing by, nothing. ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he beckoned him to sit down and eat, "Then it doesn't matter." You eat first, you must be tired for most of the day. ”

Shen Chen nodded.

He ate quickly, and then burned the paper money, cleaned it briefly, and the family left.

When I returned to Chenyang Village, it was already approaching evening.

Because it was the Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he wanted to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Xi immediately began to cook. Fortunately, the meat for the hard dish she was going to make had already been marinated with condiments before going out, and it was just time to start cooking.

Lin Xi had a lot of dishes to do, and Shen Chen and the children didn't go out, so they helped Lin Xi at home.

They didn't go out, but someone did.

When Lin Xi instructed Shen Chen to chop the meat filling, there was a knock on the door.
