1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 67 Trapped
The state-owned restaurant in Youqu Town is in the middle of the town.

Gu Hansong went over and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, the door opened a crack.

Hearing that they wanted to eat, the people inside removed a door panel and welcomed them in.

There is no rice in the restaurant, so we can only order noodles.

It's so cold and no one goes to town. Fortunately, the cook and the clerk sleep upstairs, otherwise they wouldn't know where to eat.

The stove in the shop was always burning, and when the door was closed, it was like a completely different world from the outside.

Meng Shulan rubbed her hands and asked Gu Hansong what time it was.

Gu Hansong runs around outside all day, so he must have a watch, but he doesn't wear it on his wrist. Instead, he hangs it around his neck with a rope and puts it in the pocket of his inner clothes.

At this time, he was extremely low-key. He never showed up when doing business, and he helped his family in secret. He would not even wear a watch.

His strength cannot be seen at all unless you observe carefully.

Gu Hansong said, "It's almost one o'clock."

It's so late now. I was so worried about something that I didn't feel hungry. I made him suffer with me.

Meng Shulan smiled and said, "You must be starving. I'll give you 4 taels of noodles, plus shredded pork and an egg."

After saying that, he prepared to order food.

Nowadays, because tickets are still needed, people usually pay first and eat later.

Gu Hansong didn't say anything and followed her.

Seeing this, Meng Shulan turned around and pushed him away.

"I'll do it, I'll do it. You sit down and warm yourself by the fire."

Since the other person has helped her so much, there is no way she wouldn't even treat him to a meal.

Gu Hansong looked at him and stopped.

As Meng Shulan took out the money, she urged him, "Why are you standing? Go sit down."

Gu Hansong said nothing and waited by the side.

Two bowls of shredded pork noodles with eggs, one bowl weighing 4 taels and the other weighing 2 taels. It didn't cost much, only 65 cents for the two bowls.

Meng Shulan had more than one yuan on her, which was left over from last week's living expenses.

But the other party said that he needed another six taels of food coupons.

Meng Shulan was dumbfounded. She was so busy treating everyone to a meal that she forgot about the food coupons.

She only has the school meal ticket on her now, where did she get the food coupons?
At this time, Gu Hansong came over and paid the money and ticket in one go.

Meng Shulan blushed, feeling embarrassed.

Gu Hansong said, "Come over and sit down."

"Oh."

Meng Shulan went there obediently.

Soon, Gu Hansong also came over. The two of them sat next to the small coal stove in the restaurant and took out their gloves to warm them nearby.

It was not a big deal when it was cold outside, but now that I had come to a warmer place, the snow on my body began to melt.

Both of them raised their hands above the stove to roast.

Her hands are small and her fingertips are round. Because she does little work at home, her hands are fair and soft.

His hands are broad and slender, with distinct bones. Even though there are calluses on the palms, it doesn't affect them and they look beautiful.

Meng Shulan remembered that her hands had been exposed to the elements while driving the tractor, so she asked with some pain, "Your hands must be cold after just driving."

At that time, he was wearing a pair of woolen gloves. It was windy and snowy, so he must have been frozen.

For some unknown reason, Meng Shulan subconsciously touched it.

I originally wanted to hold it to see if it had frozen into ice, but when I touched his cold fingertips, I realized that I shouldn't have done that.

So I didn't hold it, I just touched it.

But even so, the impact should not be underestimated. Meng Shulan clearly felt something coming from his fingertips, which made her mind go blank for a moment and half of her body numb.

Although they had touched before, like when they were in the snow, she had held his arm as they came to town, but the situation was different then. They were separated by clothes and their hearts were focused.

The situation now was so different that Meng Shulan didn't know what was wrong with her. Although she had been married in her previous life, she had never experienced such a situation.

A little weird, but not annoying.

Fortunately, it was just a simple touch. If I had really held it, I don’t know what would have happened.

After about two or three seconds, Meng Shulan recovered and then looked at Gu Hansong who was sitting opposite her.

I'm in this state myself, and I don't know how he would react.

Meng Shulan raised her eyes and glanced secretly, looking left and right, and then found that there seemed to be nothing special about this man. He still maintained the same posture as before, with his body hunched and his head lowered, and his hands stretched out to warm himself by the fire.

Because of his long hair, Meng Shulan couldn't see the man's expression clearly, but she noticed that his ears were very red.

Are you shy?

Not necessarily. It could also be because it was too cold outside just now.

Meng Shulan didn't know how to explain this matter. She could only pretend nothing had happened and sit quietly on the stool without saying a word.

Because there were no customers, the water and other things in the kitchen were boiled on the spot, so the noodles were cooked a little slowly.

After a while, when Meng Shulan's embarrassment subsided, she said to Gu Hansong, "Thank you. I'll give it back to you when we get back."

People are helping her, but she still has to pay for their meal. This is definitely not okay.

Gu Han, who had been maintaining that posture like a stone statue, finally relaxed. He twisted his stiff back, coughed lightly, and said, "Why are you so polite to me?"

"what?"

Meng Shulan was a little confused. This was the most basic etiquette, wasn't it supposed to be done?

Gu Hansong glanced at her and saw that she looked confused. He pursed his lips and said, "Aren't we friends?"

Oh, about this.

"Of course they are friends. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and friends should not be greedy."

Meng Shulan smiled.

Gu Hansong stopped talking, got up and went to the window between the front hall and the back kitchen, silently watching the old chef inside heat the pan, pour oil, and fry eggs for them.

Meng Shulan: “???”

Why does it feel like this person is a little unhappy?

Gu Hansong was indeed a little unhappy and didn't say a word while eating.

After finishing the noodles, they felt full and warm, so Gu Hansong asked the chef in the kitchen to make a few pancakes for them.

I don’t know what will happen next, so I’ll just take it with me for now.

When you take your things out, you will find that the inside and outside of the house are two different worlds.

The snow continued to fall, and everything around was white. The snow on the ground had already reached the calves.

Gu Hansong held an umbrella and Meng Shulan stood next to him. The two of them stood at the door, not knowing where to go next.

There is no way I can leave.

The moment the road was blocked, Meng Shulan knew that they were probably unable to move forward.

But she couldn't turn back, she still had to continue looking for her sister.

Meng Shulan: "Why don't we go to the guesthouse and think of a solution after the snow stops."

Gu Hansong: "There is no guesthouse here."

Is this so!
Meng Shulan was speechless.

Indeed, the town here is small, and people don't have much need to go out these days. Why does a small town need a guesthouse?

Meng Shulan: "Then, shall we go to the town office and ask them for help?"

If I want to settle down here, I can only go there and find someone to help me.

Gu Hansong nodded.
