1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 70 Unexpected
The two of them ate something and the porridge was ready.

Each person scooped a bowl, just enough to tear up the bread and put it in the bowl to eat.
Previously, when Gu Hansong bought braised meat in the restaurant, he asked the chef to cut it. Although it was cold and a little hard, it was very delicious when put in the hot porridge. With white flour pancakes and white porridge, the meal was already quite good.

There was a constant wind and snow outside the door. The whistling wind mixed with snowflakes and blew against the door, making crackling sounds.

Inside the house, there is a stove and hot porridge, it is as warm as spring.

When they were almost done eating, Gu Hansong said, "Tell me about your sister."

Meng Shulan knew what he meant.

The two of them had walked all the way here and had no time to sit down and have a proper talk.

Since she has accepted his help, Meng Shulan should tell him everything about her sister and find a reasonable explanation for her stubbornness.

Meng Shulan: "My brother-in-law was transferred to Tongguan Town a few days ago, and Jiang Tao also went there with him. This time it's snowing, and my sister went there to deliver clothes and quilts, and there's a high probability that she would catch them in the act.

I'm worried about my sister having to face all those things alone at such a long distance."

Gu Hansong: "How do you know Jiang Tao followed?"

It's such a long distance and no one knows them there, so it's possible that Huang Jialin took Jiang Tao there.

But it is risky after all.

If this kind of thing were to be exposed, not only would their work be in jeopardy, but they would also be in a lot of trouble.

What drives Huang Jialin to take such a risk?
Feelings?
It doesn't look like it.

Meng Shulan said: "A classmate of mine saw it. She thought the person was my sister and told me about it."

Meng Shulan told the truth about the central point of the incident, and just made up the source.

I see. Gu Hansong nodded, "Okay, let's go there as soon as possible."

Meng Shulan smiled, "Thank you."

Gu Hansong: "Can you please not be so polite?"

Meng Shulan: "What?"

His voice was a little soft and she didn't hear it.

"nothing."

Gu Hansong drank the last mouthful of porridge and put down the bowl.

The two worked together to wash the pots and dishes, then added water to wash their faces and brush their teeth, and finally boiled a pot of hot water to soak their feet before going to bed.

In the winter, villagers don’t have the habit of taking a bath every day, but they will soak their feet before going to bed.

Gu Hansong brought the basin and asked her, "Which room do you want to sleep in?"

This is to help her bring the water to the bedside.

There was only one room, so there was no choice.

Meng Shulan pointed to the left.

Gu Hansong carried the basin over and said as he entered the room, "Just call me when you're done."

The service was very thoughtful, and they even planned to pour water for her to wash her feet.

Meng Shulan smiled and pulled the light cord.

Everything in the room was illuminated.

A bed, a desk, an old wardrobe, just a few simple things, but it feels warm and much more comfortable than the guesthouses in the city.

Gu Hansong walked in and put the basin next to the desk. Seeing the extra mattresses and quilts on the table and bed, he didn't say anything. He was about to take them over and spread them out himself when Meng Shulan finally spoke up and told him about the room.

“There’s only one room.”

Gu Hansong turned his head and looked at her with some confusion.

Meng Shulan explained, "There's just an old table over there."

This……

The two looked at each other and were silent.

Earlier at the town office, Song Junhui had said he'd find them a courtyard to live in. Since it was a courtyard, even if it was small, it would have at least two rooms. Who knew...

Of course, there are indeed two rooms here, but the other one has not been decorated and is uninhabitable.

Now it seems that Song Junhui misunderstood from the beginning that the two were husband and wife, which is why he introduced this courtyard.

Gu Hansong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. This incident was beyond his expectations.

I was afraid she might have misunderstood something, so I quickly explained, "I didn't think of that. It's okay, I'll just sleep on the floor over there."

Meng Shulan: "There's only one stove. It's so cold, do you want to freeze yourself to death?"

Gu Hansong: "No."

He has experienced even harsher environments than this before.

Meng Shulan: “I think so.”

He came here to help her, and even if he had to sleep on the floor, she would sleep on it. How could she let him help her and suffer at the same time?

Gu Hansong looked at her and stopped talking.

Meng Shulan: "Anyway, you are not allowed to go there."

If I don’t go, where will I sleep?
Gu Hansong glanced at the room again. There was still space under the window where he could sleep on the floor.

Did she mean it?

Gu Hansong coughed lightly, lowered his head and dared not ask.

This man started to act twisted again.

Meng Shulan: "Please bring the stove over here first."

As she said that, she went to the desk, took off her shoes and started soaking her feet.

Gu Hansong: "Oh."

This time he didn't stubbornly obey, but was very obedient.

Meng Shulan smiled and thought it was just a sleep. It was nothing if she didn’t think too much about it.

Meng Shulan sat at the desk and soaked her feet, and took out the cheat sheet she had brought with her.

After a while, Gu Hansong came over carrying a stove.

I didn't dare put the coal stove inside the house, so I just put it near the door. I couldn't close the door tightly when I went to bed, so I had to leave some space.

Gu Hansong put the stove away and left.

There were only two basins we received from the health center, a white porcelain basin for washing face and a wooden basin for washing feet.

Meng Shulan stopped soaking in the water after a while, and without calling Gu Hansong, she took the dirty water out by herself.

The lights in the main room were on brightly. Gu Hansong was standing in the middle of the room, facing the closed door, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Meng Shulan holding the water and reaching out to take it.

Gu Hansong went to the kitchen to pour water. Meng Shulan returned to the room, spread the mattress on the table, and opened the quilt, so that there were two quilts and mattresses on the bed.

Gu Hansong did not soak his feet in the room, but went to the hall with the kettle.

He didn't pay attention at first, but when he came back after washing up, he found that Meng Shulan had also spread his set on the bed.

What does it mean?
Gu Hansong stood at the door without saying a word, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

Meng Shulan had already crawled into the warm bed. Seeing him standing at the door like a log, she smiled and said, "It's too cold, and it's a mud house. I feel bad letting you sleep on the floor, but I can't stand sleeping alone. Anyway, this bed is quite big, let's squeeze in."

Give it a squeeze?
Gu Hansong looked up at her, "Do you understand what you are saying?"

Young men and women sleeping in the same bed is something that only couples do.

Meng Shulan said "tsk", "Why are you so serious?
If there is a good solution, then just ignore what I said, but isn’t there no other solution?

Didn’t you also say that we are friends? Since we are friends, why don’t you just treat me as a buddy?

Since we're brothers, isn't it normal to get together and take a break during difficult times? Why do you want to do such a messy thing? "
