The private use of sugar ginseng

Lou Jun was surprised when he received a call from Xu Gan.

It was the evening of the fifth day after the outing, Lou's mother was cooking, Lou's father and Lou Jun were playing chess at a critical moment, and Lou Lang was sitting on the sofa watching the financial channel.The phone rang suddenly, it was Lou Jun's cell phone, which was left in the bedroom.Lou Lang went to get it, but a stranger called, and he hesitated when he handed it to Lou Jun.

There was also a short pause when Lou Jun answered.

"Hi, who are you looking for?"

The person on the receiver was silent for a moment, and replied, "I'm Xu Gan, I'm sorry for calling you suddenly. I'm downstairs at your house now, and I brought medicinal wine over."

"Now? Wait a moment, go down immediately." Lou Jun hung up the phone and said to Lou's father, "It's Xu Gan, come and bring me medicinal wine. He's downstairs at home now."

Lou's father was very calm when he heard what Lou Lang said about that day. "You and Lou Lang go down to pick him up, and I'll call for someone at your second uncle's house, and let him have dinner."

Lou Jun nodded, and went downstairs with Lou Lang.When they got downstairs, Xu Gan was waiting with a large glass wine jar in his hand.Lou Lang took two steps forward to take it, and Lou Jun thanked the invitation again: "Sending it here so soon must have caused you a lot of trouble, thank you so much. Come and have a cup of tea at home?"

Xu Gan waved his hand and declined, "I should go home for the New Year, and I plan to bring it to you before I leave, so I took the liberty to come here. You can try it first, and call me if you have any questions. I won't drink tea today, another day I will visit my uncle and aunt again."

"Go and sit down, rest your feet and have a meal. It's my thank you. When you came down, my dad specifically asked me to call you to sit at home." After speaking, Lou Juan naturally stretched out his hand to Xu Gan, Xu Gan Subconsciously catch it.Probably because he came down in a hurry, Lou Jun didn't wear the long down jacket he wore the previous two times, but wore a small cotton jacket on his upper body, and the fingers he stretched out were cold.

Xu Gan tightened his grip, struggled a bit, and followed up without refusing.

Lou's house, Lou's father has come back from Lou Ershu's house, there is no one at Lou Ershu's house tonight, only after calling did he find out that the family of three went to the shopping mall together.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Father Lou got up from the sofa and went to meet Xu Gan. "Xu Gan is here, come, come sit, sit."

"Is your grandfather in good health? I haven't seen you for many years."

"Grandpa is in good health." After entering Lou's house, Lou Jun followed Lou Lang to put the barrels in the kitchen.Xu Gan sat on the sofa in the living room with Father Lou.

Lou's father said, "Come, eat an apple. I remember that Uncle Xu has always been in good health. Where's your father? Is he still in the army?"

"Here. My dad is used to life there, and he spends most of his time in the army. My grandpa doesn't want to come back unless he calls." Xu Gan held the apple in his hand and didn't eat it.The apple was very cold, like Lou Juan's hand, but it was a pity that Lou Juan withdrew it as soon as he entered the elevator, so he couldn't warm him up.

"I remember that your father yearned to be a soldier since he was a child. He was just sixteen when he joined the army. He would not come back for more than four years. When he came back, he was almost 21. Suddenly he was half a head taller than your grandfather. He took your mother together, It scared your grandpa for a long time before he recognized him." Lou's father probably thought of the scene at that time, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. "Later, after your mother gave birth to you, she became more family-loving. What about your mother? Are you still working as a military doctor in the army?"

"Eight years ago, my mother participated in a voluntary medical practice in the military region, and disappeared in a mudslide in the mountains." Xu Gan said.

Father Lou didn't answer, and patted Xu Gan on the shoulder comfortingly. "Where does your grandfather live now?"

"Now I live with my grandfather in the provincial capital, next door to my grandfather's house." Xu Gan heard footsteps behind him and turned around, seeing Lou Jun and Lou Lang walking over with two plates of food each.

Lou's father saw it too, and told Xu Gan to wash his hands and serve him.

When we were seated, six dishes and one soup had been served, and the staple food was rice porridge and steamed buns.

Xu Gan chose the position himself, with Lou Jun on the left and Dad Lou on the right.

Lou's father happily took out a bottle of white wine, invited Xu Gan to drink together, and asked Lou's mother to get the wine glass.

Xu Gan declined, "I'll go back to the provincial capital tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with my grandfather. I'm not allowed to drink while driving back. Next time, next time, I'll definitely have a drink with my uncle."

Lou's father didn't like drinking, so he didn't let him go. He just kept urging Xu Gan to eat more during the dinner.He heard from Second Uncle Lou that Xu Gan's exchange and study period has expired, and this time he returns to the provincial capital, it is very likely that he will not return to the city hospital to work in the next year.During the meal break, he asked Xu Gan: "I heard from Xiaoxiao's father that you are going to work in the provincial hospital in the provincial capital next year?"

Xu Gan nodded when he heard the words, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Yes. I originally came here to study with a teacher for half a year according to my grandfather's wishes. The agreed time is to end before the end of the year, and I will prepare for my doctoral graduation in the coming year."

Lou's mother heard Lou's father say that Uncle Lou wanted to match Lou Xiao and Xu Gan, and she also took the initiative to talk at the dinner table. "I heard from your uncle that you have lived with Uncle Xu in the provincial capital these years. Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao has also studied medicine at the Provincial University in the provincial capital. You seem to have a good relationship. Did you know each other before?"

"I studied at Peking University, and I never changed schools after I went to higher school. Especially in the past few years, I have to do projects with my tutor, and I seldom come back. Before I came to the city hospital, I didn't know Xiaoxiao. Even Uncle Lou just came here. Grandpa informed you two days ago." After Xu Gan finished speaking, he turned to Lou Jun and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't know what you and Lou Lang are doing now?"

Lou Jun was picking up vegetables, and when he heard that, he turned his head and smiled at Xu Gan, "I teach at the Provincial University, and Xiao Lang is studying at the Provincial University."

"Yesterday, I talked on the phone with my grandpa. When we talked about uncles and you, grandpa also said that he missed you and asked me to invite you to my house to play." Xu Gan said, looking at Father Lou, "Uncle, Xiaojun and the others will come back next year." When you are in the Provincial University, you and Uncle Xu will bring your aunt and aunt to come too. Grandpa talked about you yesterday. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Let me invite you to sit and gather at home in the next year.”

Lou's father was very happy to hear that, so he agreed. "I haven't seen your grandfather for many years, and we miss him too. You go back and tell your grandfather that after the new year, when your Uncle Lou's annual vacation, we will go together."

"Okay, Grandpa will be very happy when he finds out."

The host and guest had a good time at the dinner table, and Xu Gan played a game of chess with Lou's father after the meal.He is good at chess, and he spent a lot of time playing chess with Lou's father, and Lou's father narrowly won.

After chess, I chatted with Lou's family for a while.Seeing that Lou Jun was depressed and looked sleepy, he got up to say goodbye.

The family sent him to the door, he looked at Lou Jun, paused for a moment, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to him. "I almost forgot, it says how to consume medicinal wine. You try it first, and remember to call me as soon as possible if you have any questions."

Lou Jun accepted it and thanked him.

Lou's father and Lou's mother seemed not at ease, leaving the two brothers at home to watch the door, and accompanied Xu Gan downstairs, asking non-stop about the possibilities and consequences after eating.The three of them chatted downstairs for a long time before Xu Gan persuaded Lou's mother to give Lou Jun a try.

Before Lou Jun went to bed, he glanced out of the window, and the three of them were still talking at that time.When he turned to leave, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Xu Gan who suddenly raised his head and smiled at him.He was taken aback for a moment, then looked carefully, Xu Gan was still in the original posture, and he didn't seem to have moved at all.

3 call greeting

At the age of 27, according to the instructions given by Xu Gan, today should be the time for Lou Jun to try medicinal wine for the first time.

After breakfast, the four parents sat in a row across from Lou Jun, Lou Xiao and Lou Lang were separated to the left and right of Lou Jun, and a small glass of slightly golden wine was placed on the dining table between the seven of them, just for two mouthfuls. Exudes a refreshing wine aroma.

Before Lou Jun moved, Lou's mother had already clenched her fingers nervously and twisted uncomfortably.Lou Jun had no choice but to smile consolingly, "Mom, I will tell you as soon as I feel uncomfortable, don't worry."

Lou's mother nodded, pretending to be nonchalant. "Your second uncle is here, I'm not worried. You drink, drink."

Lou's father held Lou's mother in his arms when he heard the words, and Lou Ershu put the first-aid kit by his feet on the dining table, as if he had prepared it long ago.

This battle... Lou Jun sighed, picked up the cup, took a sip tentatively and put it in his mouth to get used to it.As Xu Gan said before, the taste of the wine is really light, with almost no pungent taste, and the medicinal materials probably haven't been put in for a long time, and the bitterness is not heavy.It is refreshing and refreshing, much better than traditional Chinese medicine soup.

After drinking the rest in one gulp, Lou Juan commented: "It's delicious, very light, you can try it."

The parents were half-believing, Lou Xiao saw that Lou Jun was responding well, and relaxed, she really went to pick up a glass, took a sip, and questioned: "Is this really wine? It tastes better than plain water, um, it seems... It's so subtle that I can't describe it." .Taste it.” He quickly picked up another five cups and put them on the table.

Lou Jun clearly saw the frown of the second aunt and uncle who had no time to stop, and couldn't help laughing.

The parents who were sitting upright finally relaxed their posture, Second Aunt Lou scolded Lou Xiao in a low voice, "Xiao Jun has never drunk at all, what are you talking about!"

Lou Xiao bowed her head and silently accepted, blinking at Lou Jun in the gap.Aunt Lou quickly noticed the naughty look on her face and twisted her ears.

While watching, Lou Juan carefully felt the changes in his body. He knew that the parents' worries were not over yet.

Although it is very light, it cannot conceal the essence of wine.The liquor slides down the mouth, passes through the esophagus and flows into the stomach, causing slight heat all the way, and slowly gathers on the head.Lou Jun felt that he could not use his strength, the person in front of him was blurred, dizzy and sleepy.Confused, he fell asleep on the table.

Sure enough, he was drunk.Before going to bed, he thought.

When Lou Jun woke up, it was already dark, the wall lamp was on, and the light was dim. Lou Lang was sitting on the opposite bed playing with his mobile phone.

When he got up, Lou Lang looked over immediately, saw that he was awake, stepped forward to help him up, and asked, "How is it? Is there any discomfort? Do you feel dizzy and have a headache?"

Lou Jun put on his clothes and got out of bed, moved his limbs and head, and said, "Thirsty. Still a little hungry."

Lou Lang breathed a sigh of relief, holding Lou Jun's hand as he walked out and said, "You've been sleeping all day, and it's normal to feel thirsty and hungry."

Walking out of the bedroom, he raised his voice to call Lou's mother: "Mom, my brother is awake and hungry."

Hearing this, the Lou family members who were sitting on the sofa stood up, and Lou's second uncle, second aunt and Lou Xiao were also there. Seeing Lou Jun, he couldn't help asking about his health again, and he was relieved if there was no abnormality.

When Lou Jun came out after dinner, Second Uncle Lou's family had already gone back.Uncle Lou probably explained it to Lou's mother. After Lou's mother cleaned up, she brought Lou Jun another glass of medicinal wine and put it on the desk in Lou Jun's bedroom. It was still the morning dose.He told Lou Lang who was sitting on his bed, "Wait until your brother comes out of the bath, let him drink before going to sleep."

When Lou Jun came out, Lou Lang was still playing with his mobile phone, gesturing for the medicinal wine on the table with his eyes.After hearing the news, Lou Jun consciously finished his drink and went to bed.

Probably because I slept all day during the day, or it may be because I had a drink in the morning.Lou Jun felt warm and dizzy, but not sleepy.

When Lou Lang finished washing and climbed onto the bed, he was still in a daze with his eyes open.

"Aren't you tired yet?"

"Ah."

"Are you thirsty?"

"Not thirsty."

"Is there any discomfort?"

"Very comfortable." Lou Jun turned to look at Lou Lang, "The body is very relaxed, dizzy. A little drunk. But not sleepy."

"Then let's chat for a while?" Lou Lang sat up and asked tentatively.

"Okay." Lou Jun also sat up, wrapped in a quilt and a cotton jacket, leaning against the head of the bed. "Xiao Lang, do you have a girl you like?"

Lou Lang didn't expect Lou Jun to ask this topic, so he was stunned. "ah?"

With the expected reaction, Lou Jun laughed and said jokingly: "Actually, two girls asked me about you, just the day before I came back. I heard that you are very popular at school."

"Is there any girl you like?" Lou Jun asked again.

"Not yet." Lou Lang recalled all the sex girls he had seen in an instant, and reported it according to the facts.

"I remember, you had a girlfriend in your sophomore year." Speaking of it, Lou Juan felt that it was a long time ago.He has seen her several times and had dinner together, but now he can't remember what the girl looks like.He asked Lou Lang: "Is she unforgettable, or has she not met?"

Lou Lang curled her lips, "There's nothing unforgettable, we've been dating for more than two months in total, and I almost can't remember what she looks like." She blamed Lou Jun, "If you and Xiao Xiao hadn't encouraged that girl to confess Let me try, I won't agree at all, okay? You must not know that the girl came to me for you. "

"Me?" Lou Jun was really surprised, he had never heard of it.

Lou Lang nodded, bringing up the old matter again. "The girl broke up. She said that she and I have no feelings for each other, and we can't cultivate them. She confessed that I wanted to inquire about you through me and help her girlfriends collect information. Then, we broke up peacefully." Lou Lang Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Do you want to know who her girlfriend is?"

Lou Jun nodded.

"Let me give you a hint, you know her best friend."

"I know dozens of girls, if not many."

"Well, let me give you another reminder, it's not from your courtyard."

"There are more than a dozen people who are not from our hospital."

"There are so many hints, you can think about the rest. If you get sleepy after thinking about it for a while, you can go to bed early."

Lou Jun was dissatisfied and stared at Lou Lang with wide eyes, but Lou Lang completely ignored him, took out his phone and hugged it to play.Lou Juan's eyes felt uncomfortable, and he changed the subject pretending to be weak and asked, "You've been looking at your phone these past few days, what are you playing with?"

Lou Lang turned the phone around, and the screen was facing Lou Jun. "Read novels." The screen was a little far away, and Lou Jun could only vaguely see the English letters that filled the screen.

"Actually, when I fell asleep today, I heard my mother urging you to find a girlfriend."

Surprised, Lou Lang turned his head and looked at Lou Jun for a while. "Okay, I admit that Mom is urging the marriage, but it's not me, but you. Mom didn't ask you directly if she didn't want you to have pressure or scruples. Mom asked me to pay more attention to the female teacher around you who has a good impression of you. If you have a good character, a good personality, and treat you well, I will match you up."

"Ah." Lou Jun's expression remained unchanged, and he uttered a single syllable with unknown meaning.

But Lou Lang could understand Lou Jun's resistance from it, and moved away from the topic calmly. "Speaking of which, Xu Gan called you today, and I answered it. He asked you about your situation after drinking medicine and wine, and Grandpa Xu also called Dad and Uncle, and agreed to go to Xu's house in the provincial capital on the sixth day of the lunar new year. Mom and Dad will stay with us until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year and come back."

"Oh. That is to say, we will take our luggage with us when we go to the provincial capital this time. We will spend New Year's Day at home until the sixth day of the new year."

"To be precise, it's the fifth day of the lunar new year. Mom said that she should come over early to help us clean up the house. This way you won't be too tired."

"What about uncle?"

"Aunt and uncle will go with Xiaoxiao on the sixth day of the lunar new year. When the time comes, they will have a round with us first. I heard from Xu Gan on the phone that Grandpa Xu has arranged a place for us to stay for two days and let the four parents play in the provincial capital. Play and come back."

"This...maybe it was specially arranged because of Xiao Xiao and Xu Gan's affairs."

"Because I don't know what the arrangement is. I only know that tomorrow morning I will be the driver and accompany the four of you to buy gifts for the New Year. I need to rest early. And brother, you should take care of yourself first, go to bed early, and stop thinking about it."

Lou Jun turned his head, his thoughtful eyes fell on Lou Lang. "You know? Every time you educate me like this, you are very serious. Like grandpa."

Lou Lang pouted. "Hey, go to sleep! I'll help you count the sheep. One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep..."

"You are more childish than grandpa, good night."

At the age of 28, when Lou Jun woke up, Lou Lang just woke up, looked at Lou Jun in a daze, and said good morning vaguely.After getting dressed, Lou Jun got out of bed, walked to Lou Lang's side, and looked down at him expressionlessly.

After watching for a long time, Lou Lang felt something was wrong all over his body.Lou Jun just got up, walked out as if nothing had happened, and said: "I heard you grinding your teeth last night, and I wanted to see if you were drooling when I woke up this morning. I checked carefully, don't worry, there is no drooling."

Lou Lang, who sat up, was stunned, and sure enough, he heard Lou Jun laugh out loud, attracting his parents to watch.

From breakfast time until going out with the four parents, Lou Lang counterattacked Lou Jun coldly, ignoring the whole process to the end.

After they left, Lou Jun and Lou Xiao nestled on the sofa.Lou Jun had just drank the medicinal wine and was a little dizzy, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he idly flipped through a stack of newspapers.

Lou Xiao flipped through the TV and found a channel casually.

During the commercial break, she asked Lou Jun: "Why did you bully the second brother? He ignored you this morning."

"I didn't bully him. I just heard him grind his teeth last night. Get up in the morning to see if he is drooling."

Lou Xiao didn't turn her head back, and asked straight to the point: "You suffered from insomnia last night, why?"

"I'm thinking about you and Xu Gan."

"Me and Xu Gan?" Lou Xiao turned around, puzzled.

"I was thinking about your relationship with Xu Gan, are you a couple?"

"You thought we were a couple?"

"When Xu Gan checked my pulse, I heard my second uncle and my dad say that you get along very well and I want to match you up. I called you the next day because I actually wanted to find out what you mean."

"No wonder my dad always asked me to ask him to have dinner at home." Lou Xiao was thoughtful, and then said to Lou Jun seriously: "Brother, Xu Gan and I don't have any ideas other than being friends, don't get me wrong."

"It's okay if I misunderstood. It's mainly on the parents' side. Don't affect you."

"With you here, big brother, it's easy for the parents to handle. Hehe." Lou Xiao sat over and put her arms around Lou Jun's arm and acted like a baby, fighting for the front line.

"Me? I'm just a clay bodhisattva." Lou Juan shook his head and smiled wryly.

Lou Xiao heard the smell, and asked Lou Jun, "What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened that I don't know? Could it be that you were forced to marry?" When she asked the last sentence, her tone was inevitably full of embarrassment. confidence.

Lou Jun shook his head, expressing that he was not so exaggerated.He suddenly heard the sound of the mobile phone in the bedroom, and pulled Lou Xiao's hand to answer it.

The caller ID is Xu Gan, and the remark should be made by Lou Lang yesterday.

Feeling dizzy, Lou Jun sat by the bed, pressed the answer button, and Xu Gan's voice came over. "Hi, I'm Xu Gan."

"I'm Lou Jun. I heard from Xiao Lang that you called yesterday. Sorry, I fell asleep at that time."

"It's okay. I'm taking the liberty. I called today, and I still want to ask you about your body's reaction after drinking. I heard that you were so drunk that you fell asleep yesterday."

"Yes, yesterday was the first time I drank alcohol in a real sense. Although the amount was small, I was still drunk very quickly. When I drank it, I felt that the taste of the wine was very light and easy to drink; after drinking it, I felt warm in my stomach, and the heat flowed down on; then began to feel dizzy, and then fell asleep."

"What about after waking up? Is there any discomfort?"

"No. According to the instructions you left, I also drank a small cup last night and this morning. The body adapts to being drunk and dizzy, but it won't fall asleep." The dizziness became severe, and he fell on the bed.

"Have you ever had a headache or nausea?"

"No."

"That's good." On the other end of the phone, Xu Gan breathed a sigh of relief, and paused for a while to find a topic. "Have you heard about the appointment with my uncle and aunt to come to my house on the sixth day?"

"I heard what Xiaolang said." A little sleepy, she rubbed her eyes.

"I told grandpa about you, and he knew you would come too, so he was very happy."

"It's been a long time since I saw Grandpa Xu, and I'm also looking forward to it."

Then what?say somethingXu Gan stood in the yard, looking at the sky. "Grandpa asked me to ask what you like to eat."

"I'm not picky eaters, I like everything."

"Well, it's good not to be picky eaters, and the nutrition is balanced." He scratched his hair. "When will you come on the sixth day? I'll pick you up."

"The morning of the sixth day, the exact time depends on the situation." It was a little cold, and I moved my arms and pulled the quilt over my body.

"Then let's meet in a prominent place, and I'll take you to my house."

"Well, good. When the parents come back, we can discuss and call you back."

"Okay, then I'll call back tonight."

"Okay. Goodbye." Sleepy.

"Goodbye."

Hearing the other party's goodbye, Lou Jun didn't even look at it, kicked off the slippers, curled up under the quilt, and fell asleep.

At the other end, Xu Gan put down his arm and let out a long breath, then lifted it up and was overjoyed to see that he still hadn't hung up. He tentatively called "Lou Jun" twice and waited for a while, but no one answered.

It seems that I forgot to hang up, and the person has already left.well……

Before Lou Xiao came to call for lunch, Lou Jun had already woken up and went to eat consciously.

In the evening, the parents and Lou Lang came back early.The parents were in charge of packing up the new year's goods, Lou Lang and Lou Xiao were in charge of cooking dinner, and Lou Jun watched everyone's work in the living room.

Lou Jun told about Xu Gan's call in the morning, and Dad Lou and Uncle Lou set a meeting time and place: at the main entrance of the Provincial University at ten o'clock, and asked Lou Xiao to reply to Xu Gan after dinner.

The meaning of matching was obvious, Lou Xiao stretched out her head and took a look at Lou Jun.At the dinner table, he kept giving Lou Jun winks, and the meaning was very clear: Brother, help me.Lou Jun smiled and shrugged vaguely.

After dinner, Lou Xiao was still struggling, but Xu Gan called first, which was expected by Lou Jun.He was holding the phone, and before answering the answer, he shook the phone under Lou Xiao's eyes.

"Hello, Lou Jun, I'm Xu Gan."

"Well. The time and place have been set, the main entrance of the Provincial University at ten o'clock."

"Okay, I see." There was a slight pause. "Eaten dinner yet?"

"I've eaten. Have you eaten with Grandpa Xu?"

"We ate too. What are you doing?"

Look around the living room. "My father and second uncle are carrying things, my mother and second aunt are arranging things, Xiao Xiao is washing dishes, Xiao Lang is eating apples next to me, and I am calling you."

"It seems that uncle and the others bought a lot of things today."

"Well, I visited the flower and bird market and the fruit market."

"It sounds like you haven't finished shopping yet. Do you want to go tomorrow?"

"um, yes."

"Are you going with me?"

"I dont go."

"When I came back, many things at home were ready, and I was at home quietly."

After Lou Xiao finished washing, she came over and lip-synced and asked, "Xu Gan?" Lou Jun nodded.Lou Xiao pointed to the phone, meaning to answer it.

"Yeah. Xiaoxiao is here, do you want to talk to her?"

Xu Gan was silent, and then said, "Okay."

Lou Jun handed the phone to Lou Xiao, Lou Xiao frowned, took the phone, went to Lou Jun's room, and closed the door to talk on the phone.

Lou Lang, who was eating an apple, mumbled, "Xiao Xiao frowned just now. What happened between her and Xu Gan?"

Lou Jun looked at Apple, and replied: "Xiao Xiao said that she and Xu Gan are friends, and there is no possibility of development."

"Oh. You told her what Uncle Er thinks. Is she going to a showdown?"

"Maybe." He continued to stare at the half apple in Lou Lang's hand.

"Wait, I'll iron one for you." Lou Lang stood up.

Lou Jun held back, "Can I take a bite of this?"

"No." Lou Lang refused very simply, and walked away with puffy cheeks after the two bites.

The four parents arranged happily, but they didn't know this.After finishing Lou Juan's house, he went downstairs again.

When Lou Xiao came out, Lou Jun was eating hot apple slices, and Lou Lang was looking at his phone.

Lou Xiao handed the phone to Lou Jun and said, "Xu Gan." She took an apple that had been washed on the table and gnawed on it.It should be that he and Xu Gan have reached a consensus, they seem to be in a good mood, and they smile straight at Lou Jun.

Lou Jun was chewing an apple, picked up the phone and swallowed the contents of his mouth before saying, "Xu Gan, I'm Lou Jun."

Xu Gan was worried that he didn't know what to say, and guessed through the voice from the microphone, "Are you eating?"

"Well, Apple."

"Have you finished eating?"

Lou Jun looked at the remaining half of the bowl. "not yet."

"Then you continue to eat."

"Okay." Lou Jun put down the phone subconsciously, and suddenly realized that the call was not over yet.Dazed for a moment, he handed the bowl to Lou Lang, and said into the microphone, "It's over."

Xu Gan on the other end of the phone was imagining Lou Jun eating an apple, when he heard Lou Jun's sudden voice, he couldn't help but ask, "So fast?"

"Well, there's not much left." As he spoke, he looked at Lou Lang holding the bowl, his face full of dissatisfaction, and he smiled apologetically and comfortingly.

The back-and-forth transition doesn’t take long enough to finish chewing a bite of apple.Xu Gan was not stupid, he reacted quickly. "I just want to say goodbye to you. Rest early and call you tomorrow." Of course, the main reason is that I can't find a topic, Xu Gan scratched his head.

"Oh, bye."

Now it was Lou Jun's turn to be stupid.

He returned the bowl, put a piece of apple into his mouth, chewed and said, "I thought it was something to do if Xiaoxiao didn't hang up the phone and let Xiaoxiao forward it to me. Then, he said goodbye and hung up."

Lou Xiao laughed out loud with a "puchi".

The two brothers looked at her together, and she shook her phone and said, "I saw a joke and couldn't help it."

Lou Jun looked at Lou Xiao even more confused, and Lou Lang gave Lou Xiao a thoughtful look.

At the age of 29, Lou Xiao became the driver, and Lou Lang stayed with Lou Jun at home.

The two brothers sat together on the sofa, one watching the phone and the other reading a book.Lou Jun's cell phone rang, and Lou Lang went to the bedroom to fetch it for him.

"It's Xu Gan." Lou Lang frowned when he handed over the phone.

While answering the phone, Lou Jun smiled at Lou Lang and said, "You probably called to ask me about my reaction after drinking the medicinal wine."

"Hello, Xu Gan."

"Yes, it's me. Good morning. Did you drink the medicinal wine this morning?"

"Drink it. There is no uncomfortable reaction in the body, and the amount of alcohol seems to be getting better. Thank you."

"You're welcome, we're friends." The tentative words came out, his heart beat faster and he was nervous, Xu Gan pulled his hair, and couldn't help explaining: "Our two families are family friends, we..."

Lou Jun frowned.Isn't it just a polite way of speaking?Why are you nervous? "As a friend, thank you for your care. I have troubled you a lot recently."

"It's a friend, so don't be too polite." Agitated, Xu Gan pulled two hairs off, and Xu Gan also blew them off his hands indifferently. "Actually, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"My grandfather and I were discussing where to take you to play when you come. What about you? I heard that you have lived here for several years. Where have you been to play before?"

"Before me?" Lou Jun switched his left hand to his right, closed the book, and pretended to have a long chat.Seeing this, Lou Lang turned off the phone and looked at Lou Jun. "I used to spend most of my time there at school or in my residence, and occasionally I would go for a walk with Xiaolang Xiaoxiao, go shopping and have a meal."

"Then have you ever been to Linshan Natural Hot Spring? There are several types of medicinal baths. Grandpa and I have tried them, and the results are not bad. You and uncle and the others come, and I will take you there to play, okay?"

"Okay, you and Grandpa Xu can decide. It's up to you, and I will trouble you again."

"So, is there anything you want to go to play?"

"The place I want to go is the library." Lou Jun smiled: "In the words of young people, I'm a bit of a nerd and very boring."

"How come. It's a good habit to like to go to the library. You can know everything about the world without going out." Pause. "Apart from reading, what else do you like to do?"

"Play chess, chess."

"Coincidentally, I usually like to play two sets with grandpa. When you come, we will learn from each other."

"it is good."

"Then what physical exercise do you usually do?"

"For exercise, I will practice simple yoga and Tai Chi 24 postures every day."

"When I was at home, I would play Tai Chi with my grandfather every day. I have never done yoga. Yoga seems difficult."

"It's okay to get used to it."

"You must be very flexible."

"It's okay if you practice more."

"How long have you been practicing?"

"It's been 17 years."

"Your perseverance is really good, you can persist for so long."

"Probably because I have more time."

"Well, do you usually watch movies?" Oops, the topic changed too abruptly.

"Look."

He didn't notice.Xu Gan breathed a sigh of relief. "What kind of movies do you like to watch?"

"Except for the too exciting type, everything else is fine."

"This year's New Year's film, is there anything you want to see?"

"Well, I don't know what movies there are."

"Then you look at Xuanxuan first, and when you come, I invite you to watch a movie."

"Okay, what genre do you like to watch?"

"You choose, choose the one you like." Xu Gan heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Father Xu was entering the door, and said goodbye in a hurry. "Don't disturb you choose, hang up, I will contact you again. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Lou Jun hung up the phone and put it on the table, and asked Lou Lang, "What's wrong with you looking at it all the time?"

"What did Xu Gan talk to you about?" Lou Lang asked without answering.

"Ask me about my reaction after drinking the medicinal wine; ask me where he should take us to play when he receives us, and my hobbies; finally, he talked about movies, and he is going to invite us to watch movies, let me choose one first." Lou Juan listed them all without reservation.

Lou Lang looked serious, and asked thoughtfully, "Brother, don't you think it's strange that Xu Gan always calls you?"

"Well, I want to make a correction: he doesn't call me all the time, and every time he calls, he has something to say." Lou Jun took the book back and turned to the page he was reading, "And, in fact, I agree with your Viewpoint. It's kind of weird."

"What do you think is strange about him?"

Lou Jun looked at the book and thought for a while: "It's obvious that he is more familiar with Lou Xiao, but he called me instead of Lou Xiao, what happened?" Seeing Lou Lang nodding, he smiled. "There is an answer to this, because I am drinking the medicinal wine."

The time they purchased back was not much different from yesterday.I bought a lot of vegetables, dried fruits, pastries and meat, which filled the entire trunk of a car, and I had to move them back and forth many times before I finished.

Lou Xiao made dinner, and Lou Lang and the four parents were busy cleaning up.

Xu Gan called, earlier than yesterday.

"Lou Jun, have you had dinner yet?"

"not yet, what about you?"

"Me neither. I will go out with Grandpa and the others later, so I will call you in advance."

"Well, then you guys should be careful on the way out later."

"Okay, I will. By the way, have you chosen the movie?"

"Well, not yet." Lou Jun forgot, and was asked suddenly, a little embarrassed, took Lou Lang's mobile phone to check the information. "I have chosen, I will send you a text message, is that okay?"

"I'll call you tomorrow, tomorrow. Tell me tomorrow."

"Alright."

"The Chinese New Year will be the day after tomorrow, how are you preparing for the new year?"

Lou Jun glanced at the five people who were busy with the New Year's goods, and by chance Lou Lang also turned his head to watch Lou Jun on the phone, and his eyes met.Lou Lang raised his eyebrows, and Lou Jun mouthed: Xu Gan.Then replied: "It's almost ready."

"Hmm." Xu Gan scratched his head, trying to find a topic. "Where's the medicinal wine? How much is left?"

"Medical wine," Lou Juan subconsciously glanced at the kitchen, "One cup is about [-] milliliters each time. I've already drank five cups, so there should be a lot more."

"Well, that barrel is about five liters, so there should be a lot."

silence.

Xu Gan then asked, "How's the weather over there? Is it cold?"

"I didn't go out, the sun was shining brightly from the window."

"Really? It's cloudy here today."

"It's time to eat!" On the phone, before Xu Gan could find another topic, he heard Lou Xiao's voice through the microphone.

"Ah, it's time for you to eat, so I'll hang up first and call you tomorrow."

"OK, bye."

"Goodbye." Xu Gan hung up the phone, still a little bit reluctant.

When he returned to the house, father Xu changed into a suit and was coming down the stairs.He said to Grandpa Xu who was sitting in the living room, "Dad, let's go."

Grandpa Xu agreed, walked out of the house with a cane, and led Father Xu and Xu Gan to the next door.The small courtyard next door is Xu Gan's grandfather's house.

Thirty years.

Lou Jun has gotten used to alcohol, and a drink will not affect his sobriety.

Father Lou and Uncle Lou stayed at home to look after the house and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.The two mothers took their three children to the mall to buy new clothes.

As usual, I started with men's clothing and bought it for Lou Jun first.It was convenient for Lou Jun to rest when he was tired, and he had enough time for the three women to let go of their shopping.As for Lou Lang, he will solve it while showing Lou Jun the clothes.

Out of consideration for Lou Jun's physical needs, the main selection targets are padded jackets and woolen sweaters.

When Xu Gan called, Lou Jun was trying on a gray sweater.

At that time, Lou Jun's down jacket with the mobile phone was in Lou Lang's hand. When Lou Lang heard the ringtone and took out the mobile phone to Lou Jun, he paused when he saw the caller ID and answered it himself.

"Hello. I'm Lou Lang."

"Oh, Lou Lang, I'm Xu Gan. Where's Lou Jun?"

"We went shopping, and my brother was trying on clothes."

"That's it." Xu Ganchi
