Chapter 11 I Have No Home.
When the sky was slightly bright, Lin Changan poked out of the living room and saw Mei Mu'an wearing the thin quilt.
Still flipping through the book in her hand, seeing that her body seemed to tremble slightly, she wanted to step forward and ask if she needed to come in, but remembering the resoluteness in her words just now, she didn't ask.
"It's dawn. ”
"Yes, although it's still summer, it's still a little cold in the morning and evening, won't you come in?"
Mei Mu'an didn't answer, and after a pause for a while, he closed the book, and when Lin Changan saw this, he walked into the kitchen, poured a glass of hot milk and walked out.
"Drink some hot milk!
Lin Changan stood beside Mei Mu'an with milk, looking at Mei Mu'an's slightly fluttering eyelashes condescendingly, she seemed to be constantly stabilizing her emotions.
"Thank you. ”
This was the first time Mei Mu'an said thank you to herself since she came here, and Lin Changan paused for a while to hand over the milk.
"Thank you, drink it so cold!"
Mei Mu'an's body was like ice, and he was still worried after closing the book.
The world has really changed, I left in 1937 and came to this 2018, to see that they live comfortably, and there is no need to worry about whether a bomb will fall from the sky above their heads today.
Mei Mu'an didn't know whether he should rejoice or be sad, why he had come here, and when he would return to that terrible place, he was never sure.
The warm milk was served in front of him, Mei Mu'an instantly warmed up, the heat spread from his fingers to his limbs, Mei Mu'an turned his head to look at the sea that had been dyed with some gold, and suddenly felt a little like rebirth in his heart.
On the same day, he was sent to Paramount Gate, beaten and scolded, but he didn't survive. Now that I have come here, I think it is a chance given to me by God to live better no matter what.
Memuan was smiling at the rising sun.
Lin Changan looked at Mei Mu'an's side face with a smile, and although he felt a little strange in his heart, he was a little relieved. When she came back last night, she looked a little lost, but now she seemed to be relieved.
The rising sun glowed golden, and the surface of the sea, which had been shrouded in darkness, suddenly turned blue.
Lin Changan took a deep breath, although it was cold, he was full of warmth, which was also the reason why he never went to bed late, and he had to cheer himself up every day.
Lin Changan also smiled, Mei Mu'an moved a comfortable position and leaned on the back chair, the milk here also tasted very good.
Mei Mu'an drank the milk in the cup one after another, and if she had been at Paramount before, she would never drink what was handed to her.
It's just that Lin Changan seems to be different from those who are in Paramount, he actually doesn't have any interests in him, and some of them are just young people, but he doesn't seem to have much interest.
Mei Mu'an smiled when she thought of this, and Lin Changan happened to turn around and saw her smile and suddenly had a hint of thought.
"What are you watching me do?"
"Wait for me!"
Lin Changan didn't have time to put on his slippers, he trotted all the way into the room with one foot on the ground, Mei Muan didn't know what he wanted to do, he didn't turn his head back and leaned on the back of the chair, he felt a little sleepy.
"Click. ”
It wasn't until she heard that click that Mei Mu'an came back to her senses, turned her head and found Lin Changan squatting on the ground holding something like a camera at her.
Mei Mu'an was used to being photographed, and he didn't care much about the novelty, so he turned his head to look at the slowly rising sun after taking a look.
"Click. ”
The picture in the SLR is Mei Mu'an, who was wearing a Yin Dan Shilin cheongsam, when she turned around, she had a very calm look, she didn't apply fat powder, and her bright eyes and teeth seemed to have a little joy. The background behind it is the rising golden sun and the sea with golden light, clean but a little shocking.
Lin Changan stared at the photo in the SLR, a little excited. I have been taking photos part-time, and there are many photos that I am satisfied with, but this photo like Mei Mu'an is so satisfying.
"Can I send this picture?"
"Newspapers?"
"Hmm... No, I also do part-time photography on social platforms, can you be my model? I can pay you a little more. ”
Mei Mu'an smiled, learned that Lin Changan took a deep breath, and then stared at the sun that was about to hang in the sky.
"If you want to send it, you can send it, but I'm not a person who sees money, you provide me with food, shelter for me, and give me work. I should be grateful and understand, but I still say the same thing, don't give birth to other ideas! I'm not the foolish woman out there!"
Mei Mu'an turned her back to Lin Changan, and although her words were not loud, they revealed that there was no doubt. Lin Changan stood up straight and brought the SLR to Mei Mu'an.
"You look really good in the picture, look!"
Mei Mu'an glanced at himself in the camera, and he didn't have much expression, as if he was very used to it. Lin Changan looked at her and didn't hesitate to smile, it seemed that a big baby had fallen from the sky.
"Wow......"
The familiar mobile phone rang, Lin Changan held the SLR in front of his chest and picked up the phone with one hand, Mei Mu guessed that it was those policemen yesterday, and now that he has made up his mind, he is not so clueless.
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs! I'll see you later!"
Lin Changan finished answering the phone and walked into the room, put the SLR in the drawer, and then stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Mei Mu'an, who was still nestled in the chair and looking at the sea.
"If you want to sleep, sleep for a while, I'll go down first and let them take the monitor. ”
"Wait! I'd better go down with you!"
Mei Mu'an's voice was flat, as if he was not too nervous, and he kept talking about not having an ID card. Lin Changan stood in place and waited for Mei Mu'an to get up, a little worried in his heart.
It seems that the census has been very strict recently, and she insists on not saying her identity, if she causes trouble, she will not be punished.
"What are you doing with your frowning all the time watching me?"
Mei Mu'an stretched out her hand to straighten her hair, walked in front of Lin Changan, and found him looking worried.
"You can say whatever you have to say to the police for a while, and if you have something difficult, you will always find a way to solve it. Otherwise, you've been here all along, with no name and no point, what's going on!"
"Do you think I'm causing you trouble by living with you?"
"Oh! That's not what I meant!"
Lin Changan was really anxious about her, but Mei Mu'an looked at him with a smile.
"Since that's not what it means, that's fine! I'm not worried about myself, what are you worried about! Let's go! By the way, can I go through the formalities here or something, you should have to get an ID if you want to go to school and find another job here, right?"
Are you here?
Lin Changan's brows furrowed more and more when he heard her words, looking at her frank appearance, should he let the police just give her an ID card for a while.
"Let's go, if you keep staring at me, will it come of anything?"
Mei Mu'an walked to the side of the stairs and took a full-length mirror, lowered his head and pulled the cheongsam, then put on his high heels and walked down.
"Hello, see you again. Boss Lin, the surveillance copies, we had an overnight interrogation last night, don't worry, this matter should be dealt with as it should be handled! Uh, by the way, this lady's identity must also be registered. ”
The young policeman who came late at night today, smiling and talking, pulled a chair and sat down across from him. Lin Changan stood aside and waited for another policeman to copy the video, watching Mei Mu'an's movements as if he was about to say something.
"I don't have an ID card, and I don't have the household registration book you mentioned. ”
Mei Mu'an's words were indifferent, and his tone sounded as if he was telling them that the weather was good today. The policeman was a little stunned, put away his smile and looked at Lin Changan.
"Mu An?"
This is the first time Lin Changan has opened his mouth to call her Mu An, Mei Mu An turned his head and smiled at Lin Changan, and then turned to look directly at the policeman sitting opposite him.
"This lady, we're not kidding. And we're just going to have to register our identities, so if you have any difficulties, you can just say so. ”
"I'm not kidding you, I don't have parents, I don't have an ID card, I don't have a household registration book. But I want to live here, live well, I need those things, do you have any solution for that?"
"This ......"
Mei Mu'an restrained his smile and looked serious, the young policeman and Lin Changan looked at each other, and they both questioned Mei Mu'an's statement in their hearts.
"Hmm...... Madam, then I heard Boss Lin call you, you have a name. It may be unfortunate that your parents are not here now, but as long as you have a place of birth, and your parents have lived in a city or township, you can go back and ask the local police station to issue a certificate for you. If you can get the proof, it's much more convenient. Of course, I still hope you can explain the specific situation!"
The young policeman's attitude was sincere, and Lin Changan also kept looking at him, Mei Mu'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if there were people who were so sincere to themselves when he was deceived into Paramount that day, then he would not have to fall to such a point.
"I really don't have a father or a mother, and I don't know where my household registration is. When I remembered, I sang and sang everywhere, and I exchanged meals and ate. ”
I always felt that something was wrong with this, but Lin Changan couldn't say anything wrong, so I saw the young policeman frowning and turning his head to say something to another policeman.
"Madam, if what you said is true, the state now has a special method for people without hukou, so let's sort it out first, go back to the police station with us and explain the situation in detail. ”
Mei Mu'an nodded, and Lin Chang'an strode over and stood beside Mei Mu'an.
"I'll go with her!"
Lin Changan glanced down at Mei Mu'an, who didn't respond much, but suddenly had the idea of going back to his hometown to have a look.
At that time, there was a lot of artillery fire, and I couldn't hide from my hometown if I wanted to, although all the houses were occupied by the second uncle, but after all, it was the place where I lived with my parents. Counting the days, the second uncle should have also died.
"We have registered the contact information of Boss Lin, if you want to open a household registration or have any difficulties, come directly to us! Of course, we will continue to follow up on your affairs later!
Mei Mu'an counted the time, and he still remembered the second uncle's son, that is, his cousin was two years younger than him, so he was almost 100 years old now.
"What are you thinking?"
"They're gone?"
Lin Changan pulled a chair and sat opposite Mei Mu'an, who looked like a highly educated person and spoke English very well, but she said that she didn't have her parents to do chores everywhere to eat.
"You think I'm lying, don't you?"
"Yes!"
Lin Changan looked at Mei Mu'an with blazing eyes, and Mei Mu'an looked at him without fear. From her eyes, I didn't see much lying and hesitation, but she was very resolute.
"Did you know there's a Thousand Autumn Town?"
"Qianqiu Town? I seem to have heard of it, what's wrong?"
Mei Mu'an stood up and looked at Xiang, took a deep breath, looked at the already bright sky, and wanted to go back to that place more and more.
"Didn't you say you'd clean up those paints outside the door today?"
"Well, I'll go out and buy some oil paint in a little bit, and I'll come back and paint it. What's wrong?"
Mei Mu'an walked out a few steps, as if thinking about something, Lin Changan waited for her to speak, but saw her pacing and walking back.
"I'd like to go to Qianqiu Town! I've lived there for a while. ”
"You've lived in Qianqiu Town? I'll look up the map. ”
Memuan nodded, standing by the door and looking out at the beach. Early in the morning, lovers walked there holding hands, and Mei Mu'an looked out with his hands on his chest, feeling a little indifferent.
"I found out, it takes about five hours to drive from us to Qianqiu Town!"
"Five hours?"
Lin Changan nodded, unable to understand what Mei Mu'an was thinking, she seemed to be resolute, but she seemed to be always looking for something, and when her deep eyes looked at her, she always felt familiar that she couldn't refuse.
"Have you given me enough money so far to take a round-trip ride?"
"Enough is enough! It's just that you don't have a mobile phone on you, and there are many connections between the city and the countryside, do you know the road?"
Lin Changan frowned and stared at the map distance displayed on his mobile phone, and Mei Mu'an thought about it and felt a little funny.
"People didn't have a so-called mobile phone before, didn't they come back to life like this?"
