The private use of sugar ginseng

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole school is on holiday.

Lou Jun simply packed his usual clothes and got on the train home.The train station staggered the student holidays and the Spring Festival travel season, it was not crowded, and the journey out of the train was very smooth.When I got home, it was 11:30.

The time card is very good, Lou's mother has already prepared a table of dishes, Lou's father and younger brother Lou Lang are sitting in the living room and are about to get up and go to the restaurant.As soon as Lou Jun opened the door, the three of them were taken aback. Lou Lang was the first to react, and immediately went up to pick up the luggage, and put it neatly in their bedroom.

Lou's mother stepped forward and took Lou Jun's hand to wash up quickly, and the family sat down at the dining table.

"Come, come, your favorite pork rib soup, drink a bowl to warm up first." While speaking, Lou's mother filled a bowl and handed it over.Lou Jun took it obediently and drank it slowly.The meals made by his mother are always the most suitable for him, salty and light, not greasy or greasy.

Seeing that Lou Jun finished drinking, he added it immediately.While picking up vegetables, he asked worriedly: "Your complexion is not good, is it because the people in the car are too uncomfortable? Why don't you let Lou Lang wait for you to come back together? This way the car will not have to be hard. I didn't call in advance to tell you to come back. Dad and Lou Lang can pick you up."

Lou Jun held Mother Lou's hand comfortingly, "Mom, there aren't many people on the train, I'm fine, don't worry. Today's food is delicious, I'll eat more."

Hearing this, Lou's mother's expression eased a little, "It's good to be fine. Eat whatever you like, come, come."

Lou's father, who was sitting across from him, said in the gap between Lou's mother's serving food: "After dinner, follow me to your second uncle's downstairs and let him show you."

Lou Jun's second uncle, who inherited the work of Lou Jun's grandfather, is the vice president of the city hospital and has both Chinese and Western studies.

Lou Jun was born prematurely and was physically weak and sick since childhood.When he was young, Grandpa Lou, who had excellent medical skills, took good care of him at home, and he grew up to 12 years old without any danger.Later, Grandpa Lou was in a car accident on a business trip and disappeared. Lou Jun, who had a deep affection for Grandpa Lou, was saddened by a serious illness, and it took a lot of hard work to save his life.From then on, the matter of taking care of Lou Jun was handed over to Uncle Lou, who inherited Grandpa Lou's mantle, and tried his best to drag Lou Jun to the present.

When Lou Jun was 21 years old, he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and the school applied to the provincial capital, which was strongly opposed by Lou's family.All kinds of cold wars went on for half a month. In the end, he pretended to be sick, and the family made a compromise, and let his second uncle's cousin Lou Xiao, who was supposed to take the college entrance examination, go to take care of him.Later, Lou Lang applied for a postgraduate examination and also attended this school, and Lou Jun was fortunate enough to stay in the school to teach after graduating from graduate school.

In the past, no matter what Lou Juan did, someone had to follow him all the time.This time, Lou Jun was lucky enough to experience the life of a person, and it was because he received a temporary notice from the school on the way to the train station that he insisted on Lou Lang's freedom to come back first.

After lunch, the family of four sat down and had a conversation. Father Lou ordered Lou Lang to carry a box of apples and led Lou Jun downstairs.When I arrived at Uncle Lou's house, it was Lou Xiao who opened the door. Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou were sitting in the living room watching TV.

Hearing Lou Xiao yelling "Uncle is here, brother is here too", the two of them looked up, and they both asked Lou Jun first, "When did you come back? Why don't you look so good?" Then, Second Uncle Lou couldn't help but say Pulling Lou Jun's hand and sitting down, he took the pulse easily, and after holding his right hand with his left hand, it took about three or four minutes before he stopped, and asked with a grim expression, "Have you stayed up late lately?"

Lou Juan lowered his head and rubbed his nose, avoiding the gazes of the five people around him, and reported truthfully: "I just rushed for a while the night before yesterday and went to bed at twelve o'clock."

"Well, follow me to the hospital, and I'll take a closer look." He got up and took a coat and put it on. "Brother, you can follow along. I guess I will grab some medicine and come back."

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the city hospital. Uncle Lou instructed Lou Xiao: "Go and call Xu Gan over here." Lou Xiao is a surgical intern at the city hospital. Jun smiled inexplicably, and went to perform the task.

Lou Jun didn't understand, so he watched Lou Xiao's back disappearing at the door.

Xu Gan came very quickly.He looks less than 30 years old, has a handsome wheat-colored skin, is 1.8 meters tall, and has a thin build.When he came, he greeted Second Uncle Lou with a smile, "Hi Vice President, Lou Xiao said you were looking for me."

"Yes." Second Uncle Lou pointed to Lou Jun who was sitting on the consultation table, and said, "Show him, and then give me a prescription."

Xu Gan nodded, and sat down to take his pulse with quick movements.The warm fingertips touched Lou Juan's cold wrist, which made Lou Jun shiver.He smiled and signaled Lou Jun not to be nervous. After a while, he suddenly gave Lou Jun a surprised look and signaled Lou Jun to change hands.After a while, he withdrew his hand, wrote the list and handed it to Second Uncle Lou in a leisurely manner.

When handing over the medicine list, he asked with interest in a very low voice, "Where did you find this person?"

Second Uncle Lou rolled his eyes at him without answering. He nodded in satisfaction after reading the prescription, and instructed Lou Xiao to grab the medicine, and took Xu Gan away along the way.

After the two of them left, Second Uncle Lou winked at Father Lou and asked, "The eldest grandson of Uncle Xu's family is 28 this year, and he studies the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. He came here five months ago for an exchange and study. He is good at medicine. You can look at Xiaojun. The character is also good. What do you think of matching Lou Xiao?"

"Dad's brother, Uncle Xu? Haven't seen him for many years? Didn't I hear that he went abroad?"

"I only recognized Xu Gan after he came here for an internship. I asked, and their family didn't go abroad."

Lou's father nodded and said emotionally, "I've worked hard for you all these years."

Second Uncle Lou probably didn't expect Father Lou's reaction, so he said unhappily: "You are my own brother, what are you talking about?" After a pause, he said: "I asked you to help take a look, what do you think? How are the two children?"

Father Lou's expression was serious, as if he was facing academic research, with a rigorous demeanor, "I think the two are a good match. Have you told Uncle Xu, what's your opinion?"

"I haven't contacted Uncle Xu yet. I don't want to make sure here first."

"Are the two compatible?"

"It's a good fit. Xu Gan has just been here for a week, and he and Lou Xiao are friends. The two of them have nothing to do and make appointments to go out and play together." As he spoke, he gave Lou's father a look that you know, and Lou's father also smiled with a sense of understanding .

Lou Juan, who was sitting on the side, silently looked at the two parents who were over fifty years old and smiled wretchedly, feeling helpless.

In the corridor of the hospital, the two people who went to get the medicine didn't know the wishful thinking of the two elders.

Lou Xiao was worried about Lou Jun's body, and Xu Gan was wondering who the patient he was seeing was.Before I took two steps out of the door, I asked, "Who was the person who showed me in the room just now? Do you know him?"

This time, Lou Xiao couldn't help but said, "My elder brother. How is it? His body."

"Your brother? Why haven't I heard you say it?"

"It's from my uncle's house," Lou Xiao replied, and then asked, "How is he?" He looked a little impatient.

"It's fine for the time being." Xu Gan said with interest, "I always thought that people whose bodies were so weak and cold were made up to deceive little girls in romance dramas. I didn't expect... Ordinarily, your family The environment shouldn't raise children like this, right?"

Lou Xiao gave him a white look, full of sadness. "I heard that my elder brother barely survived when he was born for eight months. He was weak and sick since he was a child, and his grandfather took care of him for a long time before he got better. When he was healthy and able to run and dance, his grandfather died in an accident. I caught wind and cold and got very sick, and I managed to get back from the gate of hell."

"The legendary destiny?" Xu Gan asked, "Isn't there a premise of Huiji?"

"Stop rambling, hurry up and grab the medicine." Lou Xiao gave him a white look, and pushed him dissatisfied.

After taking the medicine, Xu Gan followed Lou Xiao back to Uncle Lou's office. Lou Jun was still the same as before they left, sitting on the consultation table, staring at a tree through the glass window in a daze.

Lou Juan's sitting posture was very upright, his skin exposed to the outside had the sallow color of people who had been ill for a long time, and the blue-purple veins under the skin were clearly visible.Ordinary facial features without sharp edges and corners, with a spiritual cut.He sat there, not talking, he had no sense of existence when he couldn't see it, but when he saw it, his elegant demeanor made people unconsciously follow him.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and got up, probably in a hurry, he swayed a little, then quickly stabilized, walked two steps as if nothing had happened, and stretched out his hand to pick up the medicine Lou Xiao brought.

He was not obvious when he was sitting, but when he stood up, he was also 1.8 meters tall. The long down jacket of casual style was worn on him as if it was supported by a hanger, empty.He stretched out his hand, with slender finger bones and unhealthy purple-red nails.

Lou Xiao gave it to him, and the medicine went through a cutscene in his hands, and then it was kept by Lou's father.Father Lou took the medicine and took Lou Jun's hand to go home. He greeted Second Uncle Lou as he walked, and looked at Xu Gan more by the way.

Xu Gan stared at Lou's father holding Lou Jun's hand, feeling strange, and stared intently, so that Lou Jun also looked back at him.But he didn't notice it, and in the end Lou Xiao couldn't see it and gave him a kidnapping, which naturally became flirting in the eyes of the two parents.

After returning home, Lou Jun watched TV with Lou's mother all afternoon, during which time he was fed various fruits scalded with boiling water.

In the evening, while Lou's mother was cooking, Lou Jun played a game of chess with Lou's father to pass the time.

After dinner, he was tired after drinking the dark soup. After a simple wash, he went to bed and said to Lou Lang before going to bed, "Tell Xiao Xiao to come over next time you rest."

Lou Xiao came early the next morning, just in time for Lou Jun's breakfast.

After the meal, the three young men entered the bedroom of the two brothers, and Lou Jun motioned for Lou Lang, who was at the end, to close the door.

He sat on the chair by the window, holding a glass of boiling water that Lou Xiaoduan gave him, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "It's been half a year, are you still used to work?"

"Get used to it. I participated in several operations, and they were all successful in the end, and I will soon become a regular."

"Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Or are you going to get a job directly after the half year?"

"I'm going to take the exam, but I plan to take the exam next year, so I'll go to the hospital first and then I'll talk about it." Lou Xiao snatched a bunch of grapes from Lou Lang, and stuffed them into her mouth one by one. "On-the-job postgraduate entrance examination, no need to find a job after reading, how good it is."

Lou Jun looked at Lou Xiao, and was about to ask her which school she was going to, when Lou's mother knocked on the door and came in, carrying a bowl of decoction and a bowl of heated apple slices, watched Lou Jun finish drinking, and went out with the bowl.

There was only a fork inserted into the apple flesh, which was prepared for Lou Jun alone.Lou Jun didn't move, but Lou Xiao suddenly smiled, "Brother, let's go for a walk? With me here, Uncle and the others will definitely agree. You asked Lou Lang to ask me to come here because you want to go for a walk, right?"

Lou Jun nodded, took the long down jacket from the shelf and put it on, followed Lou Xiao and Lou Lang to the living room.

Lou Xiao said, "Uncle, my second brother and I went out for a walk with my elder brother." Lou's father, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, nodded, and Lou's mother came out of the kitchen with her hands still dripping, looking at Lou Jun with worried eyes, " All right, let's go. Pay attention to safety." Seeing the three people walk to the door, they suddenly stopped, "Lou Lang, get your brother a hat and scarf to put on. It's in your closet, the crimson one I just knitted. "

Lou Lang should go quickly to get it, and when she came back to the door, Lou's mother had wiped it clean and rubbed her hands to warm them up, and she took them and put them on for Lou Jun one by one.

When going downstairs, Lou Lang walked in front of Lou Jun, and Lou Xiao walked behind Lou Jun.Out of the building, Lou Lang walked on the left of Lou Jun, and Lou Xiao walked on the right of Lou Jun. They each held Lou Jun's hand and held it in their palms to warm up.

At 08:30 in the morning, there were not many people on the street, the big sun was hanging in the sky, and it was not warm. The north wind that blows from time to time still hurts my face.Lou Xiao stretched out her hand to pull up the scarf for Lou Jun, covering her face with only her eyes.

Lou Jun felt a little helpless, raised his neck, and put the raised scarf down. "I'm not cold, and it's uncomfortable to breathe when I pull too high."

Lou Xiao looked at him carefully, the crimson scarf and hat made him look good, so she felt relieved. "Brother, you haven't come back for a long time, is there anywhere you want to go? Let's go play."

where to playLou Jun turned his head and looked around. The attractions in the city were theme parks, the mountains in the suburbs, and some farmhouses and hot springs. It seemed that nothing was suitable for him.

"Go to the park? There is a playground inside, and there are shopping malls around, so there are many activities." Lou Jun suggested.

"There are too many people in the playground, and the environment is not good." Lou Lang retorted, "Let's go to the suburbs to play. During this period of time, the air is good, there are few people, and the mountains are not high or steep. Walking can exercise your body, and you may feel hungry." to eat."

"That's fine. I happen to know someone. You don't have to worry about not being able to come back at noon with a pair of medicines. You have more time and you won't be tired." Lou Xiao agreed, and then asked again: "Brother, I'll take someone with me." ,OK?"

"Okay, there are so many people."

"You know him, hehe." Lou Xiao smiled and dialed with her mobile phone. The person over there seemed to have not woken up yet, and the answer was a bit slow, and the voice of the voice coming out of the receiver was a bit vague.Lou Xiao didn't care, and just asked concisely: "I made an appointment with my eldest brother and second brother to go to the suburbs. Now, do you want to go together?"

Unable to hear what the person over there said, Lou Xiao looked at Lou Jun and replied, "That's right, stop by the hospital on your way here, and get a pair of medicine according to yesterday's prescription, oh, and a medicine pot, Your belongings, and then call my dad to report. Hurry up, we will wait for you at the gate of my community. "

Then he happily hung up the phone and called Lou's father again. "Uncle, my elder brother and I made an agreement to go to the suburbs today, and we won't be back at noon, so we asked Xu Gan to go with him and asked him to take a pair of medicines, so you don't have to worry."

Lou's father and Lou's mother on the other side of the phone were worried, and they asked for a long time before hanging up.

As soon as her phone stopped, Lou Lang's phone rang, it was still at home, and it was another reminder.

In the middle, Lou Xiao led Lou Jun to the 24-hour convenience store opposite to buy three cups of hot milk.When I came back, the phone at home was hung up.

When Xu Gan came, he was driving a silver Volkswagen, and waved his hand in the car, gesturing for everyone to get in the car.

In the car, Lou Xiao sat in the passenger seat and introduced to Xu Gan: "You have met my elder brother, Lou Jun, and next to me is my second elder brother, Lou Lang."

Xu Gan looked at Lou Lang through the rearview mirror and nodded.Greetings to the two brothers: "My name is Xu Gan." Looking back at Lou Xiao, "I've done everything you said, now, where are you going?"

"Let's go to Shazhuang, isn't there a small mountain bun over there, and you have acquaintances who run a farmhouse there, and it's more convenient to make medicine at noon." Lou Xiao said, looking back at Lou Jun and asked: "It's nine fifteen, If everything goes well, it will arrive at about 10:30, how about playing first or eating first?"

Lou Jun opened his eyes and replied, "Let's play first, I'm not hungry."

Lou Lang, who was also sitting in the back row, kept sitting upright next to Lou Jun, while winking at Lou Xiao.Lou Xiao turned her head and stopped talking, and the carriage fell silent for an instant.Xu Gan, who was driving, didn't know, so he looked back.

Lou Jun, who was a little confused, became sober because of this, looked at the three of them, and took the initiative to talk, "Your name is Xu Gan, right? Is Grandpa Xu in good health?"

"My grandfather is in good health. Do you know my grandfather?"

"When I was young, I used to see Grandpa Xu and Grandpa working together." Lou Jun recalled his childhood memories and said with a smile, "If it's true, we should have met. When I was six years old, Grandpa Xu accompanied a A drip for the boy."

This really happened, Xu Gan thought about it hard, but he couldn't remember who Lou Jun was at that time. "The winter when I was seven years old, then who were you then?"

"I," Lou Jun smiled, eyelids rolled down, unable to see clearly. "I'm the Little Red Riding Hood on the bed near the window." As he said, he patted the hat on his head, "It's redder than this one, a knitted hat."

"Oh." Xu Gan slowly remembered, the one with his mother, the one near the window, the three or four-year-old who looked like a normal child, and couldn't walk steadily, the little girl... "Is it you?" Xu Gan was surprised I have to look back, it's unbelievable that the little doll in my memory can grow to the size of Lou Jun.

"Look ahead." Lou Xiao, who was listening to the two of them, interjected to express her dissatisfaction with Xu Gan's unsafe writing.Then he turned around and asked Lou Jun: "Brother, are our family and Xu Gan's family friends? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I remember Grandpa said that Grandpa Xu's father was his master, and Grandpa Xu was his senior brother. When I was about ten years old, Grandpa Xu's family moved away to another city. I haven't seen him since. "

"Grandpa Xu?" Lou Lang asked back, "Which grandpa with a long beard who likes to wear Chinese tunic suits?"

"Have you seen it?" Lou Xiao asked, and Lou Jun and Xu Gan also cast curious glances.

"I saw it once at the funeral of grandpa. You also saw it later in the hospital, Xiao Xiao."

"Oh, I remembered." Lou Xiao nodded, and then asked Xu Gan: "Do you have a photo of Grandpa Xu? Show us."

Xu Gan took out the phone in his pocket, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and handed it to Lou Xiao. "That said, I understand why grandpa asked me to come here to study with your dad. Looking at the photo album, there is a family portrait, and the one sitting at the front wearing a red Tang suit is my grandpa."

Lou Xiao found it out, looked at it, and said, "It really is." Then she handed it to Lou Lang and Lou Jun.

"What year was this taken?" Lou Jun asked Xu Gan, looking at the tough old man in the photo, who was still the same as he remembered.

"The year before last, I took it on my grandfather's 85th birthday."

"Grandpa Xu is so energetic, he still looks the same as he saw when he was a child."

"Speaking of which, I heard grandpa talking about you." Xu Gan smiled back and threw out the invitation, "After the Chinese New Year, do you want to go back to my house with me to visit my grandpa?"

"If there is a chance, I should visit Grandpa Xu."

After finding contact, they gradually became familiar with each other. While talking, the car had already driven into the parking lot with the sign of Shazhuang Restaurant.

After turning off the engine, Xu Gan didn't get out of the car, turned around and asked the people in the car, "I have two plans: [-]. We park the car here, go for a walk on the hill, come back to have dinner, and then go home; [-]. Let's drive up to play, and I'm looking for some ingredients and a grill from my friends, and I want a casserole, we are self-sufficient. Which one do you choose?"

He asked, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Lou Jun, waiting for the answer.He knew that everyone's actions were based on Lou Jun's wishes.

The air conditioner in the car was properly turned on, not stuffy and warm. Lou Juan took off his hat and scarf at some point, sat there with a slightly red cheek and a smile on his mouth, and touched a certain string in Xu Gan's heart. Xu Gan suddenly felt It's beautiful, and I'm stunned for a moment.

His gaze was too obvious, Lou Xiao and Lou Lang looked at Lou Jun because they didn't understand, and seeing his cheeks flushed, Lou Lang, who was sitting the nearest, put his hand on Lou Jun's forehead worriedly.

Realizing that the temperature under his hand was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief with a little sweat, and gave Lou Xiao a reassuring look.

Lou Jun was helpless. "It's just a little hot." He explained and changed the topic. "Let's drive to play. It's definitely more interesting to make things by ourselves. Xiao Xiao and Xiao Lang can cook, and I can also do some simple things." He looked at Xu Gan, and Xu Gan answered, "Of course I can too. That's it then."

Lou Jun nodded, Lou Xiao and Lou Lang were still a little worried.Lou Lang persuaded him: "Brother, you're sweating, so it's not suitable for you to go out for a shower, why don't we eat first, take a rest and then go to the mountains to play?"

"It's okay, once the air conditioner is turned off, the sweat will disappear after sitting for a while." Lou Jun comforted him, "It's a rare time to come out, I haven't tried a picnic yet, let me try."

Having a picnic with Lou Jun is also an experience that the two of them have never had before. After losing the battle, they can only follow Xu Gan's orders.

Xu Gan dragged Lou Lang to get things, and when they stood together, he realized that Lou Lang should be a little taller than him, with tough features and a strong body, completely different from Lou Jun.

After meeting a friend and explaining their intentions, after exchanging pleasantries, the two began to move things.

Seeing Lou Lang easily picking up a large box containing ingredients, grills, coals, casserole, bowls, chopsticks and pans by himself, Xu Gan walked back without blushing or panting, and couldn't help admiring Said: "Your physical fitness, even if you only donate [-]% to your brother, it will allow him to quickly reach the average health of the public."

Lou Lang replied calmly, "If possible, I would give half of it to him." Xu Gan paused, thinking of Lou Jun's appearance before getting out of the car, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

When quickly filling the trunk with items, Xu Gan remained silent.When I got in the car, everything returned to normal, and I smiled and talked to the three of them.

The car drove all the way up the hill, and found an open space with trees, water and no one, and stopped to fiddle with it.

Xu Gan, Lou Lang, and Lou Xiao got out of the car, unanimously decided to keep Lou Jun in the car, opened the door on Lou Jun's side, took out the things in the trunk one by one, and placed them two meters away from the door. .

After setting up the grill, lighting the fire, and the porridge pot, Lou Jun consciously put on his hat and scarf, invited Lou Lang to accompany him for a walk, and left Lou Xiaoxuan to cook lunch.

Along the flat grass road beside the stream, the two walked upstream for 200 meters.Lou Jun stopped and took a deep breath, "Yesterday, I went to the hospital with my dad, my second uncle, and Xiao Xiao. The person who checked my pulse was Xu Gan, and my second uncle asked Xiao Xiao to call me. My second uncle recognized Xu Gan's medical skills." The second uncle said that Xiao Xiao and Xu Gan have a good relationship, and the second uncle wants to match Xiao Xiao and Xu Gan."

"No wonder Xiao Xiao agreed as soon as she said that Xu Gan would follow her parents. I think Xiao Xiao and Xu Gan have a good relationship along the way, and they have development prospects." After speaking, Lou Lang thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Brother, so you asked I asked Xiaoxiao to come out to play when she was resting, so I could take the opportunity to see them..." She winked, and the words that followed were automatically muted.

Lou Jun shook his head, "I originally wanted to ask Xiao Xiao what she meant."

"Well, but it's fine now, no need to ask, it's clear at a glance."

After Lou Lang finished speaking, he thought the meeting was over, so he took Lou Jun by one hand and prepared to go back.But suddenly Lou Jun asked: "Then, when you and Xu Gan went down to get things, what happened?"

Lou Lang was taken aback for a moment, unable to react. "It's fine. Why do you ask?"

"After getting in the car again, the expressions of the two of you are not quite right." Judging from Lou Lang's reaction, he knew it was not an important matter, so Lou Jun didn't stop, and walked back in the direction he came from.

Lou Lang followed, walked slowly, and said as he walked, "We talked about your body, and he probably felt that he said something wrong."

Lou Jun nodded, took Lou Lang's hand and clenched it, and changed the subject. "After the new year, let Xiaoxiao go back to school together. The cleanliness of the dormitory has worked hard for you this year."

When Lou Lang heard this, he gave Lou Jun a disgusted look. "Every year, it's nice to say, but in the end I couldn't help but do it myself."

When the two returned, they set up a folding table next to the leeward of the car, with a small bench beside the table, a thermos bottle and a stack of disposable paper cups on the table.

Xu Gan waved all kinds of meat skewers on the set-up oven. The meat skewers passed through the tongue of fire, making a sizzling sound, and the smell of meat wafted in the air with the wind.Xu was hungry, and Xu's atmosphere was so good, Lou Jun couldn't help swallowing, his face was flushed with heat.

Lou Lang, who was closest to him, saw Lou Jun's rare reaction, couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling, arranged Lou Jun to sit at the table, and poured Lou Jun a cup of hot water.Ask Lou Xiao: "Is there anything baked? Brother is hungry."

After cooking the white rice porridge, Lou Xiao, who was serving the casserole, cast a surprised look, then she was overjoyed, and signaled: "The porridge is ready, wait a minute, you can eat it right away." Saying that, she quickly filled a bowl for Lou Jun , when she walked over, she was still carrying an insulated box beside her.

Lou Jun drank the boiled water and ignored the two people's banter, but his face turned a little redder.Nested in a heavy coat and hat, revealing a palm-sized face, bright black eyes staring at the teacup, with a focused expression.Xu Gan looked over, felt a thud in his heart, and quickly moved his eyes away.

Lou Xiao sat next to Lou Jun, put down the bowl, and opened the thermos box she brought over.On the upper layer was a towel soaked in hot water, she wrung it dry and handed it to Lou Jun to wipe his hands; on the lower layer were a small piece of baked yam and a small purple potato, obviously prepared for Lou Jun early in the morning. "Xu Gan just baked it, try it."

Lou Jun didn't refuse, and agreed with a smile. First, he took the purple sweet potato, peeled it one by one, and took a bite while exhaling, chewing slowly.Swallow it down, take a sip of water, take another bite, and chew slowly.Xu Gan's eyes didn't know when he looked back unconsciously, followed by swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and moved away in embarrassment.

After two or three mouthfuls, Lou Jun said to Xu Gan who was grilling the meat, "It tastes better and sweeter than steamed meat at home."

Xu Gan took a quick look, then stared at the barbecue, and said to the barbecue with a concentrated expression: "The fish will be grilled in a while, you can try it."

Lou Jun looked at Xu Gan, slightly stunned for a moment, and agreed.

Lou Xiao was talking with Lou Jun here, and Lou Lang was helping Xu Gan to barbecue over there, and the dishes were served quickly one after another.Mutton skewers, beef skewers, plate tendons, chicken wings, enoki mushrooms, tofu, and a whole fish.

The four of them got together, each with a bowl of porridge, and started to eat.

After eating for a while, Xu Gan gritted his ribs and suddenly asked Lou Lang, "I brought beer, do you want a couple of sips?"

Lou Lang turned to look at Lou Jun and then at Lou Xiao. Before speaking, Lou Jun said, "Okay, I can ask Xiao Xiao to drive in a while. I can drive too. I feel good today." After giving her a wink, Lou Xiao hesitated for a moment before instructing Xu Gan: "How can we eat barbecue without beer, you go and get it, and I will also take a few sips less."

Xu Gan came back with a set of six cans from the trunk, and while unpacking, he asked Lou Jun, "Has Uncle Lou tried medicinal wine for you?"

"Grandpa tried it for me once when I was young, but it was too strong, so I never used it again." Lou Jun replied while holding a piece of fish.The fish grilled by Xu Gan was delicious, tender and smooth, not fishy or greasy. Lou Jun liked it very much and ate a lot.

Seeing his rare good appetite, Lou Xiao and Lou Lang decided to grab a piece at first, but they didn't move again.

Xu Gan distributed the beer to Lou Lang's three cans, opened the gap in the pull ring and said, "My grandfather's self-brewed wine is not high in alcohol content, and the effect is very good. I'll bring it for you to try later?"

"Okay, then next time when everyone is drinking, I can satisfy my hunger." As he said, he turned the fish over, and the fish meat on it was cold.Lou Jun knew his physical condition, and he paid attention to things directly related to him since he was a child, and never tried to be aggressive, so Lou's family was more assured of his occasional going out.

Knowing his habit, Lou Xiao saw that he turned over the fish, so she took a bite with the chopsticks and tasted it. "It's still hot," she said.Turn over the fish skin and remove the thorns, then put the meat into Lou Jun's bowl. "You eat too slowly." She said, filling Lou Jun with half a spoonful of hot porridge from the casserole.

Turning around, he snatched a can of beer from Xu Gan, and chatted with Lou Lang, Xu Gan, and completely ignored Lou Jun.

They talked about movies and travel, and talked about Xu Gan's summer.He went from Fuyuan in the east to Heihe in the north to Wuqia in the west and Sansha in the south. He went up the snow-capped mountains, waded through the grasslands, passed through the desert, and went down to the South China Sea. He learned many ethnic customs and many simple daily expressions. , has experienced the test of nature, and practiced various self-help methods.

It was something Lou Lang and Lou Xiao yearned for but hadn't had time to do, and it was something Lou Jun couldn't do but saw.Lou Jun likes to read books, and has seen many places in the books.He didn't participate in the chat, but while listening to Xu Gan's knowledge, he corresponded to the places in the writing, coloring and enriching in his mind.

The sun moved from overhead a little east to a little west, and the wind picked up, cooling the air.

Xu Gan got up suddenly, took a blanket from the trunk and wrapped it around Lou Jun.While chatting, he couldn't control himself, he would look at him for a while from time to time, watching the redness on his face fade, watching his lips gradually darken, watching him quietly put the bowl aside after eating, Watch his fingertips turn purple, watch him pour himself a cup of hot water and cover his hands.

He is cold.

Only then did the siblings come to their senses, watching Lou Jun's atmosphere stagnate for a moment.

Lou Jun got up and walked to the car. "I'm full and a little sleepy."

Lou Xiao naturally led Lou Jun, opened the car door first, let Lou Jun sit in, and warmed Lou Jun's cold hands. "Xu Gan, you go to decoct the medicine, and the second brother packs up the things."

As if by magic, Xu Gan suddenly took out two warm baby stickers from his pocket, opened them, and handed them to Lou Jun.By the way, he joked to Lou Xiao, "As a girl, you don't know that there are such convenient warm stickers, isn't it a bit outdated?"

Lou Xiao snorted, and waited for the warm paste to heat up. "Brother, I'll help the second brother clean up, you sit in the car and rest for a while, call me if you need anything."

I got off the car and went to help Lou Lang clean and wash. I planned to finish it quickly and go back early so that Lou Jun could have a good rest.

After Xu Gan finished, he put the medicine pot on the fire, walked up to Lou Jun, and asked tentatively, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to take a look for you?"

Lou Jun stretched out his warm hand to Xu Gan. "a little cold."

Xu Gan raised his hand with his left hand, and stayed at his wrist with his right hand.After a while, he pushed his hand towards him and said, "It's okay."

After speaking, he examined Lou Jun for a while. "I have met many people. You are the first one who has such a peaceful mind after a long illness."

Lou Jun smiled, usually kind. "Am I more sensible?"

Xu Gan tilted his head in thought, "It should be said that you are better at taking care of people."

Lou Jun was stunned first, then laughed.Different from his usual smile, the smile is obvious but not deep."I was the one being looked after," he said.

"No, no." Xu Gan shook his head and changed the subject. "The ancients said: sitting down is worse than standing up and walking. Uncles and aunts are well aware of the true meaning of this in education." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the medicine pot, "you rest for a while, I will go to look at the medicine."

When the medicine was ready, Lou Jun fell asleep, and Lou Lang and Lou Xiaogang packed the utensils and garbage into the car by category.Xu Gan took the medicine, returned to the car and called Lou Jun.Lou Jun slept very honestly, and the blanket that he came over halfway covered him as it was.Probably because he felt hot, half of his face, which had been trapped in the scarf at first, was exposed from the scarf. His cheeks were rosy in the sun, and his skin was not as sallow as he saw yesterday.

"Lou Jun." He called him, he moved his eyelids in response, slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and slowly asked: "Is it time to take medicine?" His movements were slow like a slow-motion camera, his The eyes changed from foggy to sober very quickly.He moved and found a sitting position that was convenient for taking the medicine. He stretched out his hand from the pocket under the blanket, took the paper cup and drank the medicine one mouthful at a time.The medicine was very bitter, and Xu Gan could smell it, but Xu Gan couldn't tell from his expression.

After drinking, he smiled and gave the blanket to Xu Gan, saying thank you.

On the way back, it was much quieter than when we came here. Occasionally, I could hear Lou Xiao and Xu Gan talking softly, and Lou Jun in the back row was half asleep with Lou Lang on his back.
