"How do you know that?"

Wen Wan was really stunned.

Even she didn't know there was a key hidden here.

How did Chen Fan know?

And it's so easy to find it.

Chen Fan took the key and tried to open the door, while explaining with a smile: "I can see that you have lived in the countryside for a long time, and you don't have much experience."

"In rural areas, if you want to open a lock, generally speaking, there must be a key within a 10-meter radius."

"This is where the key is hidden. It was also where my family often kept it when I was a child."

Wenwan still finds it magical.

At the same time, I think Chen Fan is very interesting.

Seems to be able to do anything.

There is nothing he doesn't know.

"Open it. Good luck."

Chen Fan took the padlock and tried to open it several times.

"The lock is not very sensitive, I need to add some oil. When I was a kid, the lock at home was not easy to use, so I sharpened some pencil lead powder inside, and it worked very well."

Wenwan smiled and said, "Forget it. Let's get a new one later."

"A spendthrift woman, it's obvious she doesn't know how to live."

"If this happened in the countryside, your husband would hang you up and beat you with his shoes."

Wen Wan stuck out her tongue playfully: "You dare? Then come and try!"

After saying this, she suddenly realized that this answer was tantamount to acknowledging that Chen Fan was her husband. Her face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and quickly went into the house.

The house is very small, with only two rooms and a living room.

There was basically no furniture, and no one had lived there for years. Coupled with the humid seaside air, the house had already begun to rot.

The room was dusty and Wen Wan started coughing as soon as she entered the room, obviously not feeling well.

Chen Fan hurried to the side and opened the window. A gust of sea breeze blew in, making people feel comfortable breathing.

Wen Wan looked around and finally found two benches. Then she blew on them and handed them to Chen Fan.

"That's the deal. Let's take a break."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "This house is a little nicer than the one I lived in when I was a child."

"And from what I just observed, the house isn't in serious condition. It's just that no one has lived there for years, so there's a lot of smoke."

"We can find someone to repair it later and continue to live here."

Wenwan shook her head.

"Forget it. I don't plan to come back to live here."

"You have to clean it out even if you don't live here anymore. Otherwise, a house that has been unoccupied for years will fall apart very quickly."

Wen Wan looked dazed and didn't seem to care much about Chen Fan's suggestion.

After all, although this is my father's hometown, Wenwan doesn't have much affection for it.

Because she had been away from home since she was a child, she had only come back a few times.

Since my grandparents passed away, they have basically lost contact with this place.

Wen Wan walked around the room curiously, as if looking for memories of the past.

"What are you looking for?"

"I wanted to find a cup to pour you a glass of water, but there was nothing in this room."

Wen Wan was holding a few porcelain bowls in her hands, but unfortunately they were all dirty.

Chen Fan stood up with a smile, dragged the suitcase over, and unzipped it in front of Wen Wan.

Then, like magic, he pulled out a disposable paper cup and an electric kettle from the pile of things.

Wen Wan was stunned.

"You...you've even prepared this? You've thought it through a lot, haven't you?"

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking about? I suddenly remembered that your house has been empty for so long, the power should have been turned off long ago, right?"

"Isn't this electric kettle I'm holding just for display?"

Wen Wan was stunned at first, then blinked playfully.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't even think about this level."

Chen Fan put down the electric kettle.

"I think the wires in this house have been broken for a long time. If we want to turn on the electricity, we will have to rewire them, which will take a while."

"It's okay. I'll go to the village and buy a kettle from the canteen."

After saying that, he looked up at Wen Wan and asked, "When are you going to sweep your uncle's grave?"

Wen Wan glanced at the time and said, "It's still early. Let's go in the afternoon after lunch. After sweeping the tombs, we can go directly back to Yunhai."

"good."

Chen Fan stood up and moved his body.

"Then come on, do you want to clean up the place?"

Wen Wan quickly stood up: "No need. Just take a rest, I'll do it."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'm not that delicate. Go find a broom and some rags. Sweep the house first, wipe the tables and chairs, and it will be clean by lunch time."

"Um."

Wen Wan went to the bedroom to find an old piece of clothing, tore it into pieces and used it as a wipe, while Chen Fan went outside to take a walk in the yard.

The whole yard was already covered with weeds half a man's height, and the water dragon's head had rusted to death, with no water inside.

However, the water tank under the eaves was half full of water.

It should be received by Yu Qianqian.

Seeing the water tank full of green moss, Chen Fan leaned over to smell it. There was no odor, so he estimated that it was not there for long and could be used for washing.

Then the two of them worked together, Chen Fan swept the floor, and Wen Wan wiped the tables, chairs, benches and windows.

Wen Wan found a relatively new blanket from the closet and used it to cover her long hair.

The star instantly turned into a pretty rural woman, adding a different flavor.

After working for nearly an hour, I finally managed to tidy up the house and make it look presentable.

Throw all the unusable items into the yard. The whole room looks spacious.

Wen Wan was startled when she saw Chen Fan washing his face directly with water from the vat.

"It's unhygienic and contains bacteria."

Chen Fan smiled and wiped the water stains off his face.

"It's not that complicated. It's just washing your face, not drinking water."

"The dirty water can also be harmful to the skin."

Chen Fan: "I am born beautiful and my skin is very elastic. I am not afraid of this little bit of dirt!"

Wen Wan was amused and gave Chen Fan a speechless look.

After cleaning, the two sat on the eaves to rest and cool off.

Wen Wan sat at the door, while Chen Fan sat on the steps under the eaves, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking leisurely at the vaguely visible sea level in the distance.

"This place is exactly the house I dreamed of when I was a kid."

Wen Wan didn't respond, but secretly glanced at Chen Fan's profile with a smile on her face.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that it would be a very happy thing if she could live in a house near the sea with Chen Fan like this for the rest of their lives, with the man farming and the woman weaving, working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.

In the past, Wen Wan couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes, and didn't like to see other men smoking.

But at this moment, looking at Chen Fan holding a cigarette, she suddenly felt that Chen Fan at this moment was really charming.

"What are you going to eat at noon? Is there any restaurant in the village? Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

Chen Fan seemed to have discovered something new. Seeing Wen Wan staring at him and grinning, he couldn't help but joked.

"Look at you now. You don't look like a celebrity at all. Instead, you look more like a silly country girl living in the village."

Wen Wan glared angrily: "What's wrong with a country girl? Aren't country girls pretty?"

"No, you are naturally beautiful. The old man likes you and you look beautiful no matter how you dress."

Wenwan couldn't hide her joy and turned her head to hum softly.

"You're getting more and more glib."

The two were chatting when they suddenly noticed a few figures outside the courtyard gate, looking around as if they were peeking.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Fan shouted directly.
