1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 68 Husband and wife?

The two returned to the town office.

The light in the duty room was on and there was still someone there, but it was not the middle-aged man from before. Instead, it was a young man wearing a Leifeng hat.

The young man is called Song Junwei. He lives in the town and is here to take over the shift.

Song Junwei had heard about their situation from Wei Jianshan and had been worried about them, fearing that they might do something bad in the snow. Now he was relieved to see them back.

Song Junwei: "It's snowing so heavily, it's impossible for you to leave. Why don't you stay here for a night and see what happens tomorrow?"

After Song Junwei finished speaking, he asked the two if they had any relatives or friends here who they could rely on.

If I had, I wouldn't have come to see you.

Meng Shulan shook her head.

Song Junwei: "There's a small courtyard behind the health center in our town. It's usually used for reception inspections or for dispatching people. If you have nowhere else to go, you can stay there. The health center will pay for the accommodation, and the basic fee is one yuan a day. Why don't you stay there for the time being?"

This price is equivalent to that of an ordinary four-person room in a guesthouse in the city, but here you can have a small yard, which is quite good.

Meng Shulan: "Comrade, thank you."

When Song Junwei heard that they were going, he asked if they had a letter of introduction or something.

Although you no longer need a letter of introduction to travel into the city, you still need one if you want to stay in the city.

Meng Shulan shook her head. "Comrade, we were stuck on the road. We were not going out for any reason. How could we bring such things with us?"

Next to him, Gu Hansong silently took out the hand he had put into his pocket.

Song Junwei said: "It's okay, just register."

These things are no longer strictly controlled.

Song Junwei took out a notebook and asked about the basic information of the two people, such as which village they were from and their names.

Then it recorded the purpose of their trip, which was to go to Tongguan Town to find their sister, and the reason why they were trapped here.

After writing down the general situation, Song Junwei handed the notebook to Gu Hansong.

"Take a look first. If there are no problems, you can sign it."

Gu Hansong took the notebook, glanced at it, and paused slightly.

At this time, Meng Shulan also came over and saw the word "husband and wife" written in the relationship column. She was about to correct it but was interrupted by Gu Hansong.

"no problem."

Gu Hansong took the pen and signed his name below.

Song Junwei nodded and asked Meng Shulan to sign.

Meng Shulan was a little hesitant to look directly at the word "husband and wife", but she still signed it.

Both of them have good handwriting. Gu Hansong's is vigorous and powerful yet elegant, while Meng Shulan's is delicate and neat, and it is obvious that they were written by girls.

Judging from their handwriting alone, both of them are cultured people.

It's a good match.

Song Junwei said, "Let's go, I'll take you two there."

The health center is not far from the town office, and it only takes a few minutes to get there despite the snow.

Song Junwei first took the two of them to the health center's office to pay the money and receive some things, and then took them to the yard at the back.

The yard actually belongs to the health center, but it is separated.

It is called a courtyard, but in fact it is a brick house with a main hall, a main room, two side rooms, a simple kitchen and a toilet. There is a little space in the front yard where two trees are planted and a well is dug.

"The health center arranges people to come and clean here every week. There's no need to make any effort, you can just move in."

As Song Junwei spoke, he used the key to open the large wooden door of the hall, and helped Meng Shulan take the quilt and put it on the small table inside.

"Comrades, that's it. If you don't have enough coal, you can go to the front and ask them for more." Song Junwei left after giving his instructions. It was snowing heavily, and he wanted to leave work early.

Meng Shulan put down the basin in her hand and followed him out to see him off. When she came back, she saw Gu Hansong holding an umbrella, ready to go out.

Gu Hansong: "I'm going out to buy some more things."

They didn't bring anything with them on this trip except the clothes they had on.

Meng Shulan nodded, and when she saw him take off his raincoat, she said, "Wait a moment."

As he said that, he took off his coat and handed it to him, "Put this on before you go out."

It was so cold, it turned out he wasn't wearing much under his straw raincoat.

Gu Hansong looked at the coat handed to him, his eyes floating, and his icy face melted a lot, feeling a little warmer.

He took the coat and was about to leave, but after a moment's thought, he said, "Regarding the registration, I just think this will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble. After all, there are some things you and I know, but it's hard to explain them to others. If we end up taking them to the police station, it's going to be a hassle."

He was talking about the couple's relationship as recorded in the registration book.

Meng Shulan: "I know."

She thought of it at that time.

Although it is no longer the same as those years, we still need to pay attention to some issues.

She came to see her sister, and Gu Hansong saw her off on a snowy day. This alone showed that their relationship was special.

Now the two of them are trapped here. If they continue to go in and out together, they will definitely be questioned if they don't have a suitable identity.

Although they could explain everything, Meng Shulan was afraid of wasting time and missing the opportunity to help her sister.

Gu Hansong nodded, "I'll be back soon."

"Ah."

Gu Hansong took his coat and left, and after leaving, he considerately closed the gate.

In the yard, Meng Shulan wanted to remind him to put on his clothes before going out, but the man disappeared like a gust of wind.

Oh, never mind. I’ll wear it when I go out.

Outside the courtyard, Gu Hansong stood at the wall of the clinic, having put on his coat.

He bought this military coat in the city two years ago. It was the largest size available on the stall at the time. When she put it on, it reached her ankles and she couldn't even stretch her hands out. It was so big and long.

It fits him perfectly, as if it were tailor-made.

After putting on the clothes, Gu Hansong did not rush to button them, but instead pulled up the collar and lowered his head to sniff gently.

An indescribable faint fragrance lingered at the tip of the nose, that was her scent.

A blush spread across Gu Hansong's face, and his ears and neck were soon dyed red.

In the small courtyard, Meng Shulan lit the small stove.

With a fire and some hot water in a kettle, I can get by.

Meng Shulan put some water in the stove and waited for it to slowly burn, then she planned to go check the room and make the bed.

Just now when Meng Shulan was picking up her things over there, because it was snowing, she asked for an extra mattress and quilt, and they gave them to her.

So now we have double quilts and mattresses, just enough for each person. It will definitely be a bit cold at night, but there is no other way, we can only make do with it.

However, when Meng Shulan held the quilt and walked around the two rooms inside, she was dumbfounded.

It is true that there are two rooms here, but only one of them has a bed and a cabinet. The other one is completely empty. There is nothing in it except a broken table.

Meng Shulan was a little confused. If it were any other time, she could just sleep on the floor, but it was snowing heavily now, and the floor in the house was made of mud and was uneven. Sleeping on it for a night would definitely make your back ache and unable to get up.
