Chapter 70 Unexpected

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

Each person scooped a bowl and tore the pancake into pieces and soaked them in the porridge. Gu Hansong had asked the chef to cut the braised meat when he bought it in the restaurant. Although it was cold and a little hard, it was very good to blanch it in the hot porridge. With the white flour pancakes and white porridge, the meal was already quite good.

There was constant wind and snow outside the door, and the whistling wind carried snowflakes that blew against the door, making crackling sounds.

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

When the meal was almost finished, 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 followed him there. This time it snowed, and my sister went there to deliver clothes and quilts, and there is a high probability that she would catch the two of them doing it.

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 motivated Huang Jialin to take such a risk? Emotion? It didn't seem like it.

Meng Shulan said: "One of my classmates saw it. She thought that 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 low and she didn't quite hear it.

"nothing."

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

The two of them worked together to wash the pots and bowls, 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 sleep in?"

This is intended 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 quite 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. He saw extra mattresses and quilts on the table and bed, but didn't say anything. He was about to take them and spread them out himself when Meng Shulan finally spoke up and told him about the room.

“There’s only one room.”

Gu Hansong tilted 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 in the town office, Song Junhui said he would find a yard for them to live in.

Since it's a yard, no matter how small it is, there should be two rooms. Who knows...

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 was beyond his expectations.

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

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

Gu Hansong: “No.”

He has been in even tougher 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 do it. How could she let him help her and suffer at the same time?

Gu Hansong looked at her and stopped talking.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Meng Shulan: "You are not allowed to go there anyway."

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

Is that what she meant?

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 simple 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 in the house, so I just put it near the door. I couldn't close the door tightly when I went to sleep, 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. 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 reached 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 spread his set on the bed as well.

What does this 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."

Squeeze in? 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, just ignore what I said, but isn't there any other way?"

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 are brothers, isn't it normal to get together and take a break when things are difficult? Why do you want to do such a messy thing?"
