1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 65 Hope
In her previous life, when Meng Shulan worked at the cultural center, she collaborated with a newspaper to record the historical changes of the supply and marketing cooperative.

In that episode, she took her hometown, Baota Town, as an example and conducted a comprehensive understanding and investigation.

Because of that work, she learned that the day before the market day, special trucks would come from the city to deliver goods here and take away some agricultural and sideline products purchased by the purchasing station in the past few days.

I didn’t expect that my work experience in my previous life would come in handy after my rebirth.

Meng Shulan smiled at Gu Hansong, "Look, as long as you think hard enough, there will always be a way, right?

Just like you said before, the early bird catches the worm."

Back then, when she was five years old and in preschool, everyone in the class could count to one hundred, but she couldn't, and she always made mistakes. Gu Hansong, who was already in the first grade, comforted her, saying, "It's okay, everyone else is six or seven years old, you're only five, you're still young, it's normal you can't count to one hundred."

But when she was a child, Meng Shulan did not accept this statement. When others achieved something that she did not, she felt that she was stupid and not cut out for studying, and she cried very sadly.

Gu Hansong had no choice but to carry her on his back on the way home and teach her word by word, letting her recite it silently in her heart and recall it in her mind.

He said: "The early bird catches the worm. If you feel you can't outrun others, then you can start early, just like the tortoise and the hare in a race..."

Meng Shulan remembered it.

Even in the later years, this sentence was buried deep in my memory, but I still couldn't forget it. Some habits were invisibly engraved in my bones.

She feels that her achievements and hard work come from this.

The lingering wind and snow are whistling endlessly.

The girl holding an oil umbrella and wrapped in an old coat is like a plum blossom blooming in the wind and snow, tough and proud.

At this moment, how should Gu Hansong tell her that he had just gone to the town office to ask, and because of the snow, the supply trucks coming to the town had also stopped.

Seeing Gu Hansong staring at her intently, Meng Shulan smiled and said, "I'll go ask now. Go back quickly while you can still walk."

If he waited any longer, his mule cart might not be able to move.

Meng Shulan was about to leave, but Gu Hansong grabbed her arm and said, "Don't ask. I'll take you there."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the town office.

Meng Shulan was startled, took two steps forward and grabbed his raincoat, "With such heavy snow, the mule cart will soon be unable to move."

Not only is the snow too thick for the cart to carry, but in the face of such wind and snow, the mule will also refuse to follow its master's orders and will not move forward.

"Who said I was going to take you there by mule cart?"

Gu Hansong turned his head to look at her, with the corners of his mouth and eyebrows curved up.

He smiled, just like when she was a child, when she encountered difficulties and cried, he would appear out of nowhere with a confident and calm smile.

Meng Shulan felt relieved. Not to mention that it was just snowing now, even if the sky fell, she felt that she didn't have to be afraid anymore.

Gu Hansong walked away quickly.

Meng Shulan stood under the eaves of the station ticket office.

After about ten minutes, the sound of a tractor was heard.

Meng Shulan turned her head and looked over. In the wind and snow, Gu Hansong drove a tractor to pick her up.

The sky was full of wind and snow, the streets were empty, and the rumbling sound was like the sound of nature.

Meng Shulan thought that she would never forget this scene and her excitement at that moment.

Meng Shulan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She ran over and asked Gu Hansong in disbelief, "Where did this come from?"

Gu Hansong also laughed, "Borrowed it."

Meng Shulan: "Where did you borrow it?"

Gu Hansong pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Come up first." Meng Shulan went up happily.

There was a simple shed made of urea bags above the tractor to provide shelter, but the sides were still empty, so she did not fold up the umbrella and put it aside to block the wind and snow.

Gu Hansong said, "The tractor at the noodle factory."

The only noodle factory in the town applied for an old tractor at the beginning of the year because it had to supply several nearby towns.

It turned out to be from a noodle factory!
Meng Shulan: "How do you know the people in there?"

Gu Hansong: "I helped them repair machines twice in the past."

"So they'll lend you the car?"

Meng Shulan still found it unbelievable, and felt that he was so amazing!
This is not an ordinary donkey cart or mule cart, so it is naturally not easy to borrow.

She didn't know that Gu Hansong had just promised them that he would help them get an automatic noodle machine next month.

Gu Hansong smiled faintly, "Nothing, just a little relationship, I talked a few more words and they lent it to me."

As they were talking, the car had already turned and was heading towards Youqu Town.

Meng Shulan suddenly remembered, "Oh, what about your mule cart?"

With such heavy snow, something bad will happen if we just leave it outside.

Gu Hansong: "I've already sent someone to notify Shen Chengyuan. He'll come over and take it away soon."

Oh, that’s great!
Meng Shulan breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and smiled at him, "Thank you."

"Is one sentence enough?"

Meng Shulan: "Of course not, as long as I can do it, no, even if I can't do it, I will find a way, just tell me."

At this moment she was really grateful and anything was possible.

Gu Hansong glanced at her and said, "Just owe it to me for now."

"Okay, don't forget it."

With a tractor to ride on, the snow on the road is no longer a problem. It's just that the wind and snow cannot be stopped, and it's a bit uncomfortable when it hits people.

After sitting for a while, Meng Shulan had to clean the snow on herself and around her.

She not only cleared it for herself, but also for Gu Hansong.

Gu Hansong no longer wears his bamboo hat because it is too big and blocks the view in front of him. He has replaced it with a Lei Feng cap.

He was wearing his military coat, which was like a raincoat to block the wind and snow coming from the front. He should not be cold, but his hands that were holding the front of the tractor should be frozen.

He didn't have windproof leather gloves, only ordinary woolen gloves, which would not be of much use in such windy and snowy weather.

Meng Shulan felt a little distressed, but there was nothing she could do. She was also wearing woolen gloves, and his hands were big while hers were small, so she couldn't wear them for him.

At the moment, I just hope that the rest of the journey will go smoothly and I can get to Youqu Town as soon as possible. It would be best if I could successfully find my sister who was trapped in the snow and wind there.

Meng Shulan prayed that nothing would happen, but things went against her wishes. When she was near Youqu Town, the road collapsed, rocks slid down, and a big tree was also knocked down, blocking the intersection ahead.

In fact, the stones and soil that slid down were not many, so they could just go down and clean them up. But there was no way to move the tree, and they had to use an axe and a rope to cut it off first and then pull it apart.

Gu Hansong said: "Let's find a place to park the car first, and then go to the town to find someone to help."

Meng Shulan patted the snow off her head and said, "Oh, okay."
