Guan Youshuang was forced to go to the township clinic.

The health center is located in the middle of the market. It is a short bungalow with peeling paint on the exterior walls revealing a gray cement base. Some of the glass on the windows is broken, while others have been temporarily sealed with newspapers or plastic sheets.

The sign in front of the door was so shabby that the words on it could hardly be read.

As soon as I walked in, the smell of disinfectant mixed with dampness and staleness hit me in the face.

The facilities at the township clinic were simple and there was no need to register, so Gu Errong took her straight to the consulting room.

The doctor was an older middle-aged man who wore reading glasses and looked very kind.

"What aspects do you need to look at?"

Gu Errong said: "My wife has been fainting frequently recently, and she fainted again this morning."

Guan Youshuang quickly said, "Not often, just occasionally."

The doctor took out a stethoscope from an old metal cabinet, gently placed it on Guan Youshuang's chest, and listened carefully to her heartbeat. Then, he measured her blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer.

"Let's draw some blood first." The doctor began to write a prescription.

Guan Youshuang became anxious when she heard this, and quickly said, "Doctor, I've been checked before and I'm anemic. Can you please prescribe some iron supplements for me?"

“Blood drawing is not just for checking anemia, but also for checking several other indicators.”

Gu Errong took the list and said, "Let's listen to the doctor."

Guan Youshuang was helpless, but had no choice but to follow Gu Errong to another clinic to have her blood drawn.

Gu Errong never expected that Guan Youshuang would cry as soon as she saw the needle, and the nurse was also shocked.

She has been a nurse for so many years, and has seen many children crying while having their blood drawn, but not a single adult.

Seeing Guan Youshuang crying, she couldn't bear it and said, "Don't cry, I'll try to be slow, it won't hurt."

Guan Youshuang nodded, closed her eyes nervously and clenched her teeth.

Gu Errong put one hand on her back and gently pressed her arm with the other.

The nurse skillfully found the blood vessel and gently inserted the needle. Guan Youshuang's body trembled involuntarily.

"Okay, you guys just walk outside for a while and get the results in an hour." The nurse said as she pressed the cotton ball on the needle hole.

Gu Errong thanked the nurse and came out with Guan Youshuang in his arms.

Guan Youshuang drooped her face, and Gu Errong smiled and said, "Does it hurt so much?"

Guan Youshuang said unhappily, "How can it not hurt? The needle is so thick, why don't you try it yourself?"

"Good boy, but we have to check it out. You've fainted several times. I'm really worried."

"I told you I'm anemic, why don't you believe me?"

Gu Errong patted her back soothingly, coaxing her like a child, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, how about you hit me a few times?"

As he spoke, Gu Errong stretched his face forward.

Guan Youshuang thought to herself: If I hit you really hard, you may not be able to bear it!

"Okay, I knew you couldn't bear to fight."

Guan Youshuang: ! !

"Let's go, there's a delicious snack shop at the market, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing that there was food to eat, Guan Youshuang instantly became energetic, pulled Gu Errong's hand and walked outside.

Gu Errong smiled and shook his head, thinking, he is indeed a child, his mood is just like the weather in June, changing at any time.

Gu Errong was talking about rolled noodles.

At this time, there was already a long line forming beside the stall, and the stall owner was busy greeting customers.

In fact, when I was in school in my previous life, there was a small stall selling rolled noodles at the school gate. Guan Youshuang had eaten there several times, but didn’t think it was delicious.

She said, "Why don't we go eat Malatang? I had it last time and it was delicious."

"Don't you like eating rolled noodles?"

An old lady in a flowery headscarf turned around and said, "Girl, you can try the rolled noodles here. You will definitely like it."

"Do you want to try it?" Gu Errong asked softly.

Guan Youshuang roughly calculated the time and thought that the blood test report should be out by the time she finished her meal, so she should be able to catch up with the live broadcast in the afternoon, so she nodded.

"Okay, go find a seat and I'll wait in line."

Guan Youshuang found a seat by the side and sat down, watching the people coming and going in the market with boredom.

"Ah, isn't this Youshuang?"

Guan Youshuang turned around and saw Wang Yuetao standing in front of her with a smile.

She didn't like the woman who was trying to sow discord, so she didn't say anything.

Wang Yuetao didn't care. She sat down next to Guan Youshuang and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you a lot. Did you come here alone?"

"No, with him." Guan Youshuang gestured to Gu Errong who was standing in line.

"Oh, look at how handsome our son-in-law is. Standing in the crowd, everyone else just looks like a foil. You are so lucky, Youshuang. Fortunately, you didn't marry the guy from Zhaogou."

Guan Youshuang said impatiently: "If you want to eat rolled noodles, go and queue up."

Wang Yuetao was startled, then immediately returned to normal. She leaned over and whispered, "Let me tell you something. Do you know who I came to the market with today?"

Guan Youshuang didn't say anything.

Wang Yuetao continued, "Your mother, Guan Lei and I, do you know what they did?"

Guan Youshuang smiled faintly and said, "I'm not interested in these."

"They're going to install a telephone for your house." Wang Yuetao pointed to the post office and said, "They're processing the paperwork right now."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It's a big deal. Let me tell you." Wang Yuetao looked around to make sure there were no acquaintances there. Then she said in a voice that only Guan Youshuang could hear, "You haven't moved your household registration to the Gu family after you got married. They want to install it in your name."

Guan Youshuang's heart skipped a beat. Although she knew that strictly speaking, this operation was not effective, it was the 90s and the countryside was so backward that signatures were mostly based on names, and there was no such thing as fingerprint verification.

She is not afraid of going to court, but the key is that she doesn't have that much time and is too lazy to waste energy.

"how do you know?"

"Oh, your mother specifically asked me about it, how could I not know? I watched you grow up and have always liked you. I didn't want you to be taken advantage of, so I told you. Don't tell anyone."

"Well, thanks."

"It's okay. You wait for your rolled noodles. I'm leaving now."

Guan Youshuang nodded.

She looked back and saw that there were about ten people in front of Gu Errong.

In addition to eating for themselves, these customers will also bring a few portions for their families. There are many kinds of soups and seasonings for the rolled noodles, so they will inevitably have to wait for a long time.

Guan Youshuang walked over and said to Gu Errong, "Here's my ID card. Give it to me."

"What do you need an ID for?"

"I made a fixed deposit before, but lost my passbook. I'm going to apply for a new one."

"Then eat and I'll go with you."

"No, it's almost noon and there won't be many people around. It will only take a few minutes to finish. By the time we finish eating, they might have gone off work."

Gu Errong gave her his ID card.
