The private use of sugar ginseng
Chapter 3 Birthday Banquet
The first day of the new year.
I played until twelve o'clock yesterday and slept late. It was already 09:30 when everyone woke up. Uncle Lou's family naturally went upstairs after washing up to have breakfast together.In addition to the factor of the Chinese New Year reunion, it is also because today is Lou Jun's birthday.
After eating a simple breakfast to rest their stomachs, Second Uncle Lou and his wife went to pick up the cake that was ordered yesterday. Lou's father and Lou's father prepared the lunch, and Lou Lang accompanied Lou Jun downstairs to eat.
As soon as he got out of the stairs, he saw a familiar Volkswagen model approaching and parked in the open space in front of the building. Lou Jun was taken aback for a moment. He had a premonition in his heart, which was soon confirmed by the people who got off the car.
"Xu Gan." Lou Lang beside him exclaimed, and then turned to look at Lou Jun.
Lou Jun shrugged and pretended to be innocent.
Xu Gan heard the sound, smiled and walked up quickly.Handed a beautifully packaged long box to Lou Jun and said, "Happy birthday!"
Lou Jun took it and smiled politely. "Thank you for letting you spend the money. If it's convenient, come to my house for lunch."
"Okay. I came to your house to pay New Year's greetings. What I gave you just now was a gift prepared by grandpa. I will give it to you later. Wait for me, I'll go get something." Then, he turned back to the car, Open the trunk to get the gift.There are four pieces in total, which should be prepared for each of the two families.
Xu Gan took it hard, Lou Jun squeezed Lou Lang's hand and motioned him to help.Lou Lang took a look, and reluctantly accepted two pieces.
In the elevator upstairs, Lou Juan said: "Go to my house directly, the second uncle and the others are out, and they will come directly to eat at noon."
"What about uncle and aunt? Are you at home?"
"My parents are here, preparing lunch." After getting out of the elevator, Lou Jun opened the door. "It's a coincidence for you to catch up. My dad is cooking very well today. You are lucky."
Let the two of them go in, he walked last, closed the door and raised his voice to the kitchen and said, "Dad, Mom, Xu Gan is here."
Lou's father and Lou's mother hurriedly washed their hands and came out, let Xu Gan sit down, and exchanged greetings: "Why are you here today?"
"Grandpa said today is Xiaojun's birthday, so I came here. I also came to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt, and this is a gift for my uncle and aunt. I wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year!"
When Lou's father saw the New Year gift brought by Xu Gan, he scolded: "Come here, what gift do you bring? You are too polite!" He took out a red envelope from his pocket, and saw that the words on the red envelope were written to Lou by convention. Juan's health, Lou's father's handwriting, handed it to Xu Gan and said: "Happy New Year! Come, take the red envelope."
Xu Gan declined, "I'm too old to ask for red envelopes."
"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of us. Come on, be obedient, and take it. This is the New Year's blessing from your uncle and aunt, and you must keep it."
"Well, I won't be polite. Thank you, uncle and aunt." Xu Gan put the red package into his pocket.
Father Lou instructed Lou Lang, "Go, pour Xu Gan a cup of hot tea. Wear such thin clothes, be careful not to catch cold. Drink a cup of hot tea to keep you warm."
Xu Gan unbuttoned the woolen windbreaker and smiled, "I was in the car when I came here, and it wasn't cold at all with the air conditioner turned on. It's even warmer when I sit inside, and it feels a little hot."
"Okay, okay, as long as it's not cold. Sit down first and let Xiaojun play with you. Your aunt and I will go prepare lunch, and Xiaoxiao's will be here soon."
"Don't worry about me, you are busy."
Lou's father and Lou's mother left, and the first thing they did was not to go back to the kitchen, but to enter the bedroom.Lou's father prepared red envelopes, and Lou's mother called Aunt Lou.
"Hey, Xu Gan is here, come back after you get the cake."
In the living room, Lou Jun and Xu Gan were sitting on the couch, Xu Gan looked at Lou Jun and smiled and said, "Grandpa's gift, don't you want to open it and have a look?"
"Let's see it in the afternoon, I put it back in the room."
"You said you usually like to read, where do you keep the books? Can you let me have a look?"
"It's in my room, I'll take you to see it."
The goal is achieved.Xu Gan was overjoyed and was about to get up.Lou Lang came over, put the teacups down, sat between the two of them, and said to Xu Gan, "The tea is ready, the tea is made for you, which is my father's favorite Pu'er, you can try it."
The action was interrupted, Xu Gan lowered his head, pretended to drink tea and thanked him, and secretly rolled his eyes.
After drinking tea, Xu Gan looked at Lou Jun again and continued the topic just now.
Lou Lang was very winking, and before Xu Gan made a move, he stopped talking. "I heard from my brother that you plan to take us to the hot spring resort in Linshan?"
"Correct."
"The hot springs in Linshan are said to be pure natural. Xiaoxiao and I have been thinking about it for a long time."
"I've been there a few times with my grandpa and it's pretty good."
"I haven't been there yet, can you tell me what it's like inside?"
"Well, there are relatively private hot spring villas suitable for families, indoor hot spring suites suitable for couples and individuals, and relatively crowded public hot springs and hot spring swimming pools. The types of hot springs are also very rich."
"Based on your experience, do you think that kind of pool is more comfortable?"
"When my grandfather and I went, we all stayed in the indoor hot spring suite, which is convenient for taking medicinal baths in the bathroom. What about Lou Jun? Which one do you prefer?" Seizing this opportunity, talk to Lou Jun.
"I..." As soon as Lou Jun opened his mouth, Lou Lang's voice overwhelmed him. "Of course my brother is more suitable for indoor medicinal baths. Besides the hot springs, are there any special activities? What do you do when you're there?"
"Special event..." Xu Gan could tell that Lou Lang didn't give him a chance to talk to Lou Jun at all.Did he know something?
Sitting on the side, Lou Jun always felt that the current situation of Lou Lang and Xu Gan was very familiar.Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, he shook his head with a smile, and went to read a magazine on the coffee table.
This state of Lou Lang monopolizing Xu Gan lasted until Lou Xiao's family came back.
When Second Uncle Lou saw Xu Gan, he greeted Xu Gan for a while, gave out red envelopes, gave fruits, and gave Lou Xiao and Xu Gan time to talk, occasionally interjecting a sentence.
Lou Lang finally freed himself, took Lou Jun's hand, and motioned him to follow him into the bedroom.
Close the door to cut off the bustle in the living room.
Lou Lang sat on his bed and asked Lou Jun: "Just now, Xu Gan and I, did you notice anything?"
"The déjà vu of Xu Gan and I calling. Don't you dislike Xu Gan?"
"I don't like it. Any other discoveries?"
"You are getting to know Xu Gan, and you are interested in him."
"I'm not interested in him at all." Lou Lang rolled his eyes at Lou Jun. "It's him who's interested in you. That's why it's weird that he always calls you."
"On the sixth day, we are going to visit his house, and he wants to entertain us. This is another valid reason for him to call me."
"He can call Xiaoxiao. He and Xiaoxiao have known each other longer." Lou Lang retorted.
Lou Jun smiled, "As I said just now, that was his legitimate reason." He patted Lou Lang on the shoulder, "I am not a child, and Xu Gan is not a bad person, so don't worry."
"Anyway, I think what he wants to do is definitely not a good thing. I will be careful for you. You are not allowed to go out alone in the future."
Lou Jun patted Lou Lang's head and laughed at him. "Silly, I didn't go out alone, okay?"
Outside the door, Xu Gan, who managed to escape his parents and followed Lou Xiao to Lou Jun's gate as he wished, was unhappy.
Hearing what was said in the room, Lou Xiao gloated in a low voice. "Now, my second brother has also found out, it will be even more difficult for you to get close to my elder brother."
"I have a solution." Xu Gan looked determined, as if he was determined to win. .
Lou Xiao suddenly felt that it was dangerous, so she put away the smile on her face, and rarely looked at Xu Gan seriously. "Although I don't reject comrades, I even stand in the position of support; although I told you before that it is impossible for you and big brother, you have to try if you don't listen, I know you won't give up if you don't try, so Turn a blind eye and close it for you. However, today I want to warn you: Big brother is the treasure of our Lou family, no matter who it is, it will pay a price for touching a hair."
"I also said that I am serious, and I have no intention of hurting anyone."
"I don't care if you have it or not, even if it's unintentional, I won't allow it." Lou Xiao stared at Xu Gan's eyes, slowly approached, and said in a deep voice, "Although we are friends, I shouldn't say that. But, never From now on, my second brother and I are on the same front."
"Hey, hello. You're not serious, are you? You've changed too fast." Xu Gan was caught off guard by the change in Lou Xiao's position.Although Lou Jun was approached by the medium of medicine and wine, the trust in this relationship could not hold back the instigation of his siblings!
"I remember that I also reminded you that enough is enough, you still didn't listen." Lou Xiao stood up straight. "We are still friends at other times. There is no room for this matter."
"Okay, I'm going in to find Lou Jun now." Xu Gan said, knocking on the door.
Lou Jun and Lou Lang in the room looked at each other, and Lou Lang said, "Come in."
Xu Gan entered the door unceremoniously before Lou Xiao said, "Lou Xiao told me that you are here." Lou Xiao heard this and pinched Xu Gan from behind, Xu Gan was unprepared, and his expression changed instantly.
Lou Lang and Lou Jun were puzzled and stared at him.
Xu Gan was embarrassed, and explained: "I didn't pay attention to what I said, and I bit my tongue."
Lou Jun nodded, Lou Lang frowned, and Lou Xiao smiled.For a while, everyone had different expressions, and no one spoke.
With the help of Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou who came back, the lunch was ready very quickly.
The four of them washed their hands and went to the table. Xu Gan picked up the gap and finally grabbed the seat next to Lou Jun.Lou Xiao was dissatisfied, so she raised his collar and asked him to get out of the way.
Uncle Lou saw it, scolded him a few words, and had to give up.
Lou's father made nine dishes and one soup, which filled the whole table.
After they were all on the table, Lou's father set out wine for everyone to fill up. "Today is the first day of the new year. Xu Gan came to our house to visit relatives. For the first drink, we welcome Xu Gan." Everyone toasted.The others took a sip at will, and Lou Jun had boiled water instead.
Lou's father was very satisfied, and had a good time with Lou's second uncle Xu. "Today also happens to be Xiaojun's birthday. For the second cup, I wish Xiaojun a happy birthday and good health."
20 years of unchanging congratulatory speeches, but everyone's actions were very powerful, and everyone drank the white wine in front of them.
"That's it. Okay, move your chopsticks. Xu Gan is here to taste Uncle's cooking. This plate of steamed fish can be regarded as my signature dish." Father Lou greeted Xu Gan to pick up the dishes and introduced the dishes to him. "I personally picked this plate of crab from the market. You can try it. And this plate of glutinous rice chicken is your uncle's specialty. It's hard to find. You can try it."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Xu Gan ate very slowly, busy observing Lou Jun's preferences quietly, and was caught by Lou Xiao glaring at him during the period, very busy.
Uncle Lou looked over and asked Xu Gan, "Who will accompany your grandpa at home when you come here?"
"My dad and my sister are at home with my grandpa."
"Your sister? Speaking of which, when you moved away, your mother was pregnant, right?"
Lou's father also had an impression of this matter, "It's twenty this year, right? What's it called?"
"Almost twenty, born in September, named Xu Ling."
"Are you still in school?"
"I just went to school at the Provincial University, and I studied Chinese, a sophomore."
"At the Provincial University, Xiaojun, have you met?" Lou's mother asked.
"No." Lou Jun shook his head.Haven't seen it, but heard of it.There is a school belle named Xu Ling in the Department of Chinese, who is both talented and good looking.Lou Jun and Lou Lang and Lou Xiao looked at each other.
Lou Xiao said: "I heard that there is a campus belle named Xu Ling in the Chinese Department. I have seen photos, and she looks very pretty."
Xu Gan took out his mobile phone, found the family portrait that Lou Xiao and the others had shown, and pointed to a girl with a ponytail inside. "It's her."
I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I look carefully, it's really the same person I saw in the photo. "That's right, it's her. Speaking of which, this year, it should be said that it was the National Day last year, and she also collaborated with the elder brother on a painting." Lou Xiao said it to Xu Gan, and only Xu Gan could see the smile on his face schadenfreude.
"Why didn't I hear you guys say it? It's cooperation, so I should have seen it?" Second Aunt Lou asked Lou Xiao.
Unintentionally, it fit Lou Xiao's thoughts, and intentionally made things difficult for Xu Gan. "Brother is famous for his good calligraphy in school. Just in time for the National Day, the school held a painting and calligraphy exhibition. Xu Ling sent a picture of mountains and rivers. The school leaders thought that adding a poem to the picture would be more perfect. After the author agreed, I added a sentence to my eldest brother. Later, the painting became very famous, and it is still hanging on the newspaper column of the administrative building. I have a photo here, and I will show you.”
Lou Xiao dug out the photo and handed it to Xu Gan first.Xu Gan took it silently, looking at the painting is Xu Ling's handwriting, the distant mountains are like Daisy, and the green water flows long.Look at the characters, the brushwork is smart, the handwriting is thin and strong, and the strokes are hidden, it is a good character.
Xu Gan returned it to Lou Xiao, and Lou Xiao was handing it to the four parents.It was Father Lou's last turn, looked at it, handed the phone back, and talked to Xu Gan. "I remember that you also learned Chinese painting when you were a child. The old masters who taught you at that time said that you are talented. Do you still paint now?"
"Painting. I was the one who taught Xu Ling's painting. But after entering university, he didn't draw much. Occasionally, when he thought about it, he still practiced painting herbs, which was a bit useless." Xu Gan turned the topic to Lou Jun. "Looking at Lou Jun's handwriting, he has a solid foundation. He has practiced for many years, right?"
"His grandfather likes to write with a calligraphy brush. Xiaojun has spent more time with his grandfather since he was a child, so he has developed this habit." Lou's father changed the topic again. "I remember that you are one year older than Xiaojun, so you are 28 now?"
"Yes, I will be 28 soon."
"Is it booked yet?"
When the question got to the point, Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou were very concerned.Lou Xiao was very nervous, taking advantage of the time when she lowered her head to eat, she glanced at Xu Gan.
Xu Gan didn't look at her, but smiled at the four parents. "Not yet, but I have someone I like. If everything goes well, I hope to bring him home to meet Grandpa this year."
Lou's father and Lou's second uncle looked at each other, Lou's second uncle asked: "I haven't heard you mention it, which girl is it from?"
"Well, speaking of it, it's a small thing. I'll tell everyone when I catch up with you. Now it's a secret."
Fat? !
Uncle Lou and Father Lou looked at each other, knowing that it wasn't Lou Xiao, a little disappointed.Seeing that there was no strange color on Lou Xiao's face, she sighed secretly and let it go.
Lou Xiao glanced at Xu Gan, bowed her head and ate without saying a word.I don't know whether to thank Xu Gan for his clarification, or to tell Xu Gan's plot.
Xu Gan didn't pay attention to her, nor was he affected by Lou's father and Uncle Lou's sudden depression, so he started a new topic. "I told Lou Jun before that grandpa asked me to arrange for everyone to hang out together. I suggest going to Linshan Hot Spring Villa."
"We heard from Xiaojun. In fact, when we go this time, we have not seen your grandfather for a long time. We will visit his old man and talk about his life in these years. You don't need to spend money to do that, as long as you have a room and a place to sit." Father Lou explain.
Uncle Lou also answered, "We just want to talk to your grandpa. Traveling is an activity for you young people. You can discuss it. It just so happens that Xiaojun and the others haven't gone out to play much. This time it's a It’s a good opportunity, if you follow, we can rest assured.”
"In fact, choosing the hot spring resort is also my selfishness. I feel that the medicine bath will be good for Grandpa and Xiaojun's health in the cold weather, and it will also allow everyone to get together. It's because I didn't think carefully." Xu Gan decided to retreat. .
To Lou Xiao's ears, these words sounded like a disguised confession!While he couldn't help praising Xu Gan's courage, he raised his head and waited to see Xu Gan's joke.
Lou's father was very grateful for Xu Gan's hard work, and praised: "You have been a caring child since you were a child, and this time you have a good idea and took care of everyone. We don't want you to spend too much money."
"Uncle is too polite. We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's rare to have a good get-together. It's something to be happy about. It's also a little thought from me, a junior. How can it be a waste of money?"
"I know you are a good and filial boy, your grandpa is blessed." Father Lou raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with Xu Gan. "Anyway, for your heart, I thank you in advance."
"Uncle is serious, this glass should be my toast to you. I have not made a toast yet, so this glass is my New Year's wine. I wish my uncles and aunts a happy New Year and all the best! I wish everyone good health and success in everything." He looked up and emptied his wine glass.
Father Lou and Uncle Lou were obviously in a good mood, and they also emptied their wine glasses.
Lou Xiao, who accompanied her for a sip, watched the whole scene in surprise, and sighed secretly: Good trick!
After drinking and eating, Lou Xiao helped Mother Lou and Aunt Lou clean up a space in the middle of the table and served cakes.
Birthdays are the highlight of the meal.
A ten-inch fruit cake with no special patterns.There is a lit candle on the cake.Lou Xiao urged Lou Jun to make a wish and blow out the candles, and took over the job of dividing the cake later.
After blowing out the candles, Lou Jun sat aside and accepted everyone's blessings.Lou’s father and Lou’s mother’s gift and Lou’s second uncle’s gift have not changed for thousands of years. They are both red envelopes made by themselves with red paper, with "healthy" written on the front. At the earliest, they contained 99 yuan, and later they contained 99 yuan. [-] bucks.I hope Lou Jun is in good health and lives longer.
Xu Gan looked at the red envelope very familiarly, touched the one in his pocket, and understood.He didn't make a sound, and didn't hand over the gift.
After receiving the presents and sharing the cake, and watching Lou Jun eat longevity noodles, the lunch was not over.
The longevity noodles were made by Lou's mother, and it really was a whole noodle in a small bowl.You can't bite it off when you eat it, Lou Jun eats it very hard.
It was already 02:30 in the afternoon when the closing of the tables was really over.
Lou Juan was tired and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.Xu Gan decisively occupied Lou Lang's bed, lying on the bed pretending to be drunk and sleeping.
Lou Lang and Lou Xiao were going to pull him out, but before they could act, they were interrupted by Father Lou and Uncle Lou and called him away.
He and Lou Jun were the only ones in the room.Hearing the sound of closing the door, the sound of footsteps going away, and hearing the silence of Xu Gan in the room, he realized the situation at hand, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.Pretending to be asleep and pretending to be drunk has been forgotten, and he opened his eyes and stared blankly at Lou Jun.
Lou Jun's face was a little red, maybe it was because of the last bowl of noodles, he still remembered how hard he ate.
Lou Jun's breathing was very steady. He was too tired after eating this meal for too long.
Lou Jun's eyes were very dark...Xu Gan was frightened, but he remained calm and asked nonchalantly, "Are you awake?"
"Yes." Being stared at all the time, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
"I see that you are asleep, and you are hesitating when to give you a gift. Sorry, I woke you up."
Lou Jun shook his head: "I didn't sleep, so you didn't disturb me."
Xu Gan got out of bed and approached Lou Jun.
Lou Jun got up, leaned against the head of the bed in a padded jacket, and asked Xu Gan who was in front of him for some unknown reason. "What's wrong?"
"Here's my gift for you." Xu Gan took out a rectangular piece of jade from his pocket, about ten in length, six in width and six in height, and handed it to Lou Jun.
The jade is large, green in color, transparent in texture, delicate and moist in the hand.Lou Jun didn't understand jade, and he could sense its value, so he hesitated.
Seeing that he accepted it, Xu Gan was very happy. "It is said that this is an old piece of jade, which has been passed down in my grandfather's family for many generations. It was given to me by my mother. I have been using it as a paperweight since I learned to paint. Now I give it to you. I hope you can use it frequently. "
It was indeed very valuable, Lou Jun handed it to Xu Gan. "Your mother gave it to you. It's too precious to be given to me."
Xu Gan refused. "It's what I want to give you. If I'm willing, it's suitable." After that, he took it and put it on the table. It was a gift from Grandpa Xu that he gave Lou Jun in the morning. "Open it and have a look."
Lou Jun opened it as he said, and in the middle of the box was a dried ginseng tree.Ginseng is not big, as long as a middle finger, with fine whiskers.
"I chose this ginseng from my grandfather's collection. I heard from my grandfather that it is a century-old wild ginseng. Please put it away carefully."
Lou Jun had seen this kind of ginseng before, and he had one at home, which was left to him by his grandfather. It was bigger than this one, and was kept by Lou's mother.It is said that in the market, this is tens of thousands per gram.Sure enough, it was another valuable item.
Lou Jun had no choice but to joke: "Since it's Grandpa Xu's treasure, shouldn't it be you who secretly took it out?"
"Of course not. When I suggested it, my grandfather let me wrap it without hesitation." Xu Gan signaled Lou Jun to close the lid, and then ordered. "Remember to keep it safe and keep it by your side, it can save lives when necessary."
"Okay, I'll remember." Lou Jun responded, thinking of the wild ginseng tree at home.In fact, he had eaten this thing before, and it was very bitter in his mouth.
"I'll give you this too." Xu Gan took out the red envelope given by Lou's father and handed it to Lou Jun.
"My dad gave you this." Lou Juan refused.
"This was originally your father's blessing to you. I came here so suddenly that I took the liberty to take it away." Xu Gan took Lou Jun's hand and put the red envelope in Lou Jun's hand. "This is also the blessing I want to give you. Now that the property is returned to its original owner, my prayers will be doubled. I hope you will be healthy."
Talking too much...Xu Gan's face became hot, he concealed and put away the red envelope, and asked, "When I called yesterday, why didn't you say you would come today?"
I want to give you a surprise!Xu Gan thought.But he wasn't drunk enough to say so. "On a temporary basis, I want to see how you are doing." Xu Gan pulled the chair beside him and sat down. "Counting it all together, you have been taking the medicine I prescribed and drinking the medicinal wine I prepared for ten days. Let me see how it works! Hold out your hand."
Lou Jun stretched out his left hand.
Hands are cold.Xu Gan held his left hand with his left hand to warm him, and put his right hand on his wrist to diagnose the pulse with a focused expression.After a while, he asked Lou Jun to change his hand, and quickly, consciously stuffed Lou Jun's hand back into the quilt.He said with a dejected look: "Your physique is really special, and my medical skills are not as good as I imagined."
Lou Jun had seen this kind of expression on the faces of Grandpa Lou and Uncle Lou before, and he was quite used to it.He comforted Xu Gan: "Speaking of which, Grandpa Xu also said that I have a special physique."
Xu Gan was overjoyed, and his fighting spirit immediately filled his face. "This situation is a good opportunity for me. I like this challenge. Xiaojun, I promise, I can definitely improve your physique."
To be made such a promise suddenly, no matter it was empty talk or not, Lou Jun was still very moved after being shocked.Regardless of whether he believed in Xu Gan intellectually or not, he encouraged him: "I believe you can do it."
Nice atmosphere.Xu Gan grabbed Lou Jun's hand violently, as if moved. "Xiaojun, you are so kind. Drug testing is a long and arduous process. I will do my best to prevent you from suffering. We will stay together often in the future. If I do not do well, I will trouble you You were so tolerant and corrected."
"Huh?" You probably didn't agree to some strange thing about being a guinea pig voluntarily, right?
Reluctantly.Xu Gan immediately changed his face into a pitiful one. "You don't believe I'll be nice to you?"
"No." What's the situation again.Lou Jun was confused.
"Then you don't believe that I can find a prescription to improve your physique?"
"nor."
"That's why you don't believe in my medical skills?"
"of course not."
With a bitter face, he lowered his head and distanced himself, pretending to be sad solemnly. "I see, you don't want to see me."
What a shame!Lou Jun took the initiative to hold Xu Gan. "No, not at all. I didn't react for a moment just now. I am very grateful for your troubles for me. Thank you."
Satisfied, Xu Gan approached Lou Jun with a smile on his face. "I did it voluntarily, so don't be polite to me. If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me, always online."
Satisfied, seeing the tiredness in Lou Jun's brows, he got up knowingly. "It's already 03:30, I should go back too. You rest for a while, and I will call you at night."
He helped Lou Jun to lie down, tucked the quilt tightly, said goodbye, and walked outside.
In the living room, Lou Xiao watched TV with Mother Lou and Aunt Lou, while Father Lou and Uncle Lou were playing chess and Lou Lang watched the battle.Seeing Xu Gan come out, he put down what he was doing, and Lou's father asked him, "Why don't you take a rest?"
"It's much better now, it's getting late, I should go back." Xu Gan said goodbye.
Lou's father didn't keep him, but sent him to the door and told him to come and play more often in the future.
Lou Xiao volunteered to send him downstairs.
When she got to Xu Gan's car, Lou Xiao looked around and asked, "What did you do in my elder brother's bedroom?"
Xu Gan smiled. "Rest."
Frowning, Lou Xiao stood up straight and said seriously: "You are willing to devote yourself to helping my elder brother improve his physique and get healthy. I am very happy and grateful. However, I will not give you a chance to pester him." Without embarrassment Showed his eavesdropping.
Xu Gan also stopped laughing and corrected her remarks. "It's not entanglement, it's pursuit."
"For me, being harmful to him means that entanglement is trouble."
"I know that you care about him very much and protect him very much. But you didn't stop him from choosing a partner, nor did you stop others from pursuing him."
"You're right, I don't. But, you also understand that you are not a suitor at all, let alone the other half. I will accept your gender; my uncle's family, my parents , even my elder brother himself, but he won’t accept it. Your pursuit has no future, and it will affect my elder brother’s life and his health.”
"Yes, I'm a man, but there's nothing wrong with it. Because I'm a man, I can understand him and his needs better than a woman, can take care of him more comprehensively, and can resist more than him. With me At the same time, he doesn't have to be responsible for other people's lives, he doesn't have to worry that he will let someone down, and he doesn't have to worry that he will die unfortunately one day, leaving orphans and widows with no one to take care of him. He can live easily when he is alive, and when he dies You can also die in peace."
Lou Xiao felt frightened. "Don't you just like him? When did you get so serious? You've only known each other for ten days, right?"
Xu Gan was a little irritable, he took out the unopened cigarettes in his pocket, took out one, but couldn't find the lighter, so he simply pulled out a shredded tobacco and put it in his mouth to chew. "I don't know. It's natural to think of these." Putting the cigarette case in his pocket, he relaxed and half leaned on the car. "To tell the truth. I think Xiaojun already knew what I was thinking. He didn't like me, and he didn't want to show the embarrassment, so he didn't say anything. I just pretended to be stupid and pestered him. I talked to a few men Friends, there has never been one like this. I can't control the rhythm, I can't control people, and I can't keep my own heart. I have a hunch that this time it won't be like before. It's really bad, I I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again."
"You've only known my brother for ten days, so it's still too late to jump out."
"Rationally it should be done, but emotionally it can't be done."
Lou Xiao felt helpless.
The atmosphere seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Xu Gan took a deep breath, opened the car door and stepped into the car, turned his back to Lou Xiao and said, "Now, I can assure you and myself, but in the future, no matter what direction I go, I will not let Lou Jun Embarrassing. I'm leaving, it's cold, you should hurry up too. Goodbye."
Close the door, start the car, back up, turn the steering wheel, and leave.
Standing in the wind, Lou Xiao thought, if her father hadn't arranged for her to call Xu Gan that day, or if she hadn't asked Xu Gan to hang out with him the next day, maybe... the two of them might have met at other times.In this matter, Xu Gan was not wrong, neither was wrong.No one else can interfere with this matter.
I played until twelve o'clock yesterday and slept late. It was already 09:30 when everyone woke up. Uncle Lou's family naturally went upstairs after washing up to have breakfast together.In addition to the factor of the Chinese New Year reunion, it is also because today is Lou Jun's birthday.
After eating a simple breakfast to rest their stomachs, Second Uncle Lou and his wife went to pick up the cake that was ordered yesterday. Lou's father and Lou's father prepared the lunch, and Lou Lang accompanied Lou Jun downstairs to eat.
As soon as he got out of the stairs, he saw a familiar Volkswagen model approaching and parked in the open space in front of the building. Lou Jun was taken aback for a moment. He had a premonition in his heart, which was soon confirmed by the people who got off the car.
"Xu Gan." Lou Lang beside him exclaimed, and then turned to look at Lou Jun.
Lou Jun shrugged and pretended to be innocent.
Xu Gan heard the sound, smiled and walked up quickly.Handed a beautifully packaged long box to Lou Jun and said, "Happy birthday!"
Lou Jun took it and smiled politely. "Thank you for letting you spend the money. If it's convenient, come to my house for lunch."
"Okay. I came to your house to pay New Year's greetings. What I gave you just now was a gift prepared by grandpa. I will give it to you later. Wait for me, I'll go get something." Then, he turned back to the car, Open the trunk to get the gift.There are four pieces in total, which should be prepared for each of the two families.
Xu Gan took it hard, Lou Jun squeezed Lou Lang's hand and motioned him to help.Lou Lang took a look, and reluctantly accepted two pieces.
In the elevator upstairs, Lou Juan said: "Go to my house directly, the second uncle and the others are out, and they will come directly to eat at noon."
"What about uncle and aunt? Are you at home?"
"My parents are here, preparing lunch." After getting out of the elevator, Lou Jun opened the door. "It's a coincidence for you to catch up. My dad is cooking very well today. You are lucky."
Let the two of them go in, he walked last, closed the door and raised his voice to the kitchen and said, "Dad, Mom, Xu Gan is here."
Lou's father and Lou's mother hurriedly washed their hands and came out, let Xu Gan sit down, and exchanged greetings: "Why are you here today?"
"Grandpa said today is Xiaojun's birthday, so I came here. I also came to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt, and this is a gift for my uncle and aunt. I wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year!"
When Lou's father saw the New Year gift brought by Xu Gan, he scolded: "Come here, what gift do you bring? You are too polite!" He took out a red envelope from his pocket, and saw that the words on the red envelope were written to Lou by convention. Juan's health, Lou's father's handwriting, handed it to Xu Gan and said: "Happy New Year! Come, take the red envelope."
Xu Gan declined, "I'm too old to ask for red envelopes."
"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of us. Come on, be obedient, and take it. This is the New Year's blessing from your uncle and aunt, and you must keep it."
"Well, I won't be polite. Thank you, uncle and aunt." Xu Gan put the red package into his pocket.
Father Lou instructed Lou Lang, "Go, pour Xu Gan a cup of hot tea. Wear such thin clothes, be careful not to catch cold. Drink a cup of hot tea to keep you warm."
Xu Gan unbuttoned the woolen windbreaker and smiled, "I was in the car when I came here, and it wasn't cold at all with the air conditioner turned on. It's even warmer when I sit inside, and it feels a little hot."
"Okay, okay, as long as it's not cold. Sit down first and let Xiaojun play with you. Your aunt and I will go prepare lunch, and Xiaoxiao's will be here soon."
"Don't worry about me, you are busy."
Lou's father and Lou's mother left, and the first thing they did was not to go back to the kitchen, but to enter the bedroom.Lou's father prepared red envelopes, and Lou's mother called Aunt Lou.
"Hey, Xu Gan is here, come back after you get the cake."
In the living room, Lou Jun and Xu Gan were sitting on the couch, Xu Gan looked at Lou Jun and smiled and said, "Grandpa's gift, don't you want to open it and have a look?"
"Let's see it in the afternoon, I put it back in the room."
"You said you usually like to read, where do you keep the books? Can you let me have a look?"
"It's in my room, I'll take you to see it."
The goal is achieved.Xu Gan was overjoyed and was about to get up.Lou Lang came over, put the teacups down, sat between the two of them, and said to Xu Gan, "The tea is ready, the tea is made for you, which is my father's favorite Pu'er, you can try it."
The action was interrupted, Xu Gan lowered his head, pretended to drink tea and thanked him, and secretly rolled his eyes.
After drinking tea, Xu Gan looked at Lou Jun again and continued the topic just now.
Lou Lang was very winking, and before Xu Gan made a move, he stopped talking. "I heard from my brother that you plan to take us to the hot spring resort in Linshan?"
"Correct."
"The hot springs in Linshan are said to be pure natural. Xiaoxiao and I have been thinking about it for a long time."
"I've been there a few times with my grandpa and it's pretty good."
"I haven't been there yet, can you tell me what it's like inside?"
"Well, there are relatively private hot spring villas suitable for families, indoor hot spring suites suitable for couples and individuals, and relatively crowded public hot springs and hot spring swimming pools. The types of hot springs are also very rich."
"Based on your experience, do you think that kind of pool is more comfortable?"
"When my grandfather and I went, we all stayed in the indoor hot spring suite, which is convenient for taking medicinal baths in the bathroom. What about Lou Jun? Which one do you prefer?" Seizing this opportunity, talk to Lou Jun.
"I..." As soon as Lou Jun opened his mouth, Lou Lang's voice overwhelmed him. "Of course my brother is more suitable for indoor medicinal baths. Besides the hot springs, are there any special activities? What do you do when you're there?"
"Special event..." Xu Gan could tell that Lou Lang didn't give him a chance to talk to Lou Jun at all.Did he know something?
Sitting on the side, Lou Jun always felt that the current situation of Lou Lang and Xu Gan was very familiar.Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, he shook his head with a smile, and went to read a magazine on the coffee table.
This state of Lou Lang monopolizing Xu Gan lasted until Lou Xiao's family came back.
When Second Uncle Lou saw Xu Gan, he greeted Xu Gan for a while, gave out red envelopes, gave fruits, and gave Lou Xiao and Xu Gan time to talk, occasionally interjecting a sentence.
Lou Lang finally freed himself, took Lou Jun's hand, and motioned him to follow him into the bedroom.
Close the door to cut off the bustle in the living room.
Lou Lang sat on his bed and asked Lou Jun: "Just now, Xu Gan and I, did you notice anything?"
"The déjà vu of Xu Gan and I calling. Don't you dislike Xu Gan?"
"I don't like it. Any other discoveries?"
"You are getting to know Xu Gan, and you are interested in him."
"I'm not interested in him at all." Lou Lang rolled his eyes at Lou Jun. "It's him who's interested in you. That's why it's weird that he always calls you."
"On the sixth day, we are going to visit his house, and he wants to entertain us. This is another valid reason for him to call me."
"He can call Xiaoxiao. He and Xiaoxiao have known each other longer." Lou Lang retorted.
Lou Jun smiled, "As I said just now, that was his legitimate reason." He patted Lou Lang on the shoulder, "I am not a child, and Xu Gan is not a bad person, so don't worry."
"Anyway, I think what he wants to do is definitely not a good thing. I will be careful for you. You are not allowed to go out alone in the future."
Lou Jun patted Lou Lang's head and laughed at him. "Silly, I didn't go out alone, okay?"
Outside the door, Xu Gan, who managed to escape his parents and followed Lou Xiao to Lou Jun's gate as he wished, was unhappy.
Hearing what was said in the room, Lou Xiao gloated in a low voice. "Now, my second brother has also found out, it will be even more difficult for you to get close to my elder brother."
"I have a solution." Xu Gan looked determined, as if he was determined to win. .
Lou Xiao suddenly felt that it was dangerous, so she put away the smile on her face, and rarely looked at Xu Gan seriously. "Although I don't reject comrades, I even stand in the position of support; although I told you before that it is impossible for you and big brother, you have to try if you don't listen, I know you won't give up if you don't try, so Turn a blind eye and close it for you. However, today I want to warn you: Big brother is the treasure of our Lou family, no matter who it is, it will pay a price for touching a hair."
"I also said that I am serious, and I have no intention of hurting anyone."
"I don't care if you have it or not, even if it's unintentional, I won't allow it." Lou Xiao stared at Xu Gan's eyes, slowly approached, and said in a deep voice, "Although we are friends, I shouldn't say that. But, never From now on, my second brother and I are on the same front."
"Hey, hello. You're not serious, are you? You've changed too fast." Xu Gan was caught off guard by the change in Lou Xiao's position.Although Lou Jun was approached by the medium of medicine and wine, the trust in this relationship could not hold back the instigation of his siblings!
"I remember that I also reminded you that enough is enough, you still didn't listen." Lou Xiao stood up straight. "We are still friends at other times. There is no room for this matter."
"Okay, I'm going in to find Lou Jun now." Xu Gan said, knocking on the door.
Lou Jun and Lou Lang in the room looked at each other, and Lou Lang said, "Come in."
Xu Gan entered the door unceremoniously before Lou Xiao said, "Lou Xiao told me that you are here." Lou Xiao heard this and pinched Xu Gan from behind, Xu Gan was unprepared, and his expression changed instantly.
Lou Lang and Lou Jun were puzzled and stared at him.
Xu Gan was embarrassed, and explained: "I didn't pay attention to what I said, and I bit my tongue."
Lou Jun nodded, Lou Lang frowned, and Lou Xiao smiled.For a while, everyone had different expressions, and no one spoke.
With the help of Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou who came back, the lunch was ready very quickly.
The four of them washed their hands and went to the table. Xu Gan picked up the gap and finally grabbed the seat next to Lou Jun.Lou Xiao was dissatisfied, so she raised his collar and asked him to get out of the way.
Uncle Lou saw it, scolded him a few words, and had to give up.
Lou's father made nine dishes and one soup, which filled the whole table.
After they were all on the table, Lou's father set out wine for everyone to fill up. "Today is the first day of the new year. Xu Gan came to our house to visit relatives. For the first drink, we welcome Xu Gan." Everyone toasted.The others took a sip at will, and Lou Jun had boiled water instead.
Lou's father was very satisfied, and had a good time with Lou's second uncle Xu. "Today also happens to be Xiaojun's birthday. For the second cup, I wish Xiaojun a happy birthday and good health."
20 years of unchanging congratulatory speeches, but everyone's actions were very powerful, and everyone drank the white wine in front of them.
"That's it. Okay, move your chopsticks. Xu Gan is here to taste Uncle's cooking. This plate of steamed fish can be regarded as my signature dish." Father Lou greeted Xu Gan to pick up the dishes and introduced the dishes to him. "I personally picked this plate of crab from the market. You can try it. And this plate of glutinous rice chicken is your uncle's specialty. It's hard to find. You can try it."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Xu Gan ate very slowly, busy observing Lou Jun's preferences quietly, and was caught by Lou Xiao glaring at him during the period, very busy.
Uncle Lou looked over and asked Xu Gan, "Who will accompany your grandpa at home when you come here?"
"My dad and my sister are at home with my grandpa."
"Your sister? Speaking of which, when you moved away, your mother was pregnant, right?"
Lou's father also had an impression of this matter, "It's twenty this year, right? What's it called?"
"Almost twenty, born in September, named Xu Ling."
"Are you still in school?"
"I just went to school at the Provincial University, and I studied Chinese, a sophomore."
"At the Provincial University, Xiaojun, have you met?" Lou's mother asked.
"No." Lou Jun shook his head.Haven't seen it, but heard of it.There is a school belle named Xu Ling in the Department of Chinese, who is both talented and good looking.Lou Jun and Lou Lang and Lou Xiao looked at each other.
Lou Xiao said: "I heard that there is a campus belle named Xu Ling in the Chinese Department. I have seen photos, and she looks very pretty."
Xu Gan took out his mobile phone, found the family portrait that Lou Xiao and the others had shown, and pointed to a girl with a ponytail inside. "It's her."
I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I look carefully, it's really the same person I saw in the photo. "That's right, it's her. Speaking of which, this year, it should be said that it was the National Day last year, and she also collaborated with the elder brother on a painting." Lou Xiao said it to Xu Gan, and only Xu Gan could see the smile on his face schadenfreude.
"Why didn't I hear you guys say it? It's cooperation, so I should have seen it?" Second Aunt Lou asked Lou Xiao.
Unintentionally, it fit Lou Xiao's thoughts, and intentionally made things difficult for Xu Gan. "Brother is famous for his good calligraphy in school. Just in time for the National Day, the school held a painting and calligraphy exhibition. Xu Ling sent a picture of mountains and rivers. The school leaders thought that adding a poem to the picture would be more perfect. After the author agreed, I added a sentence to my eldest brother. Later, the painting became very famous, and it is still hanging on the newspaper column of the administrative building. I have a photo here, and I will show you.”
Lou Xiao dug out the photo and handed it to Xu Gan first.Xu Gan took it silently, looking at the painting is Xu Ling's handwriting, the distant mountains are like Daisy, and the green water flows long.Look at the characters, the brushwork is smart, the handwriting is thin and strong, and the strokes are hidden, it is a good character.
Xu Gan returned it to Lou Xiao, and Lou Xiao was handing it to the four parents.It was Father Lou's last turn, looked at it, handed the phone back, and talked to Xu Gan. "I remember that you also learned Chinese painting when you were a child. The old masters who taught you at that time said that you are talented. Do you still paint now?"
"Painting. I was the one who taught Xu Ling's painting. But after entering university, he didn't draw much. Occasionally, when he thought about it, he still practiced painting herbs, which was a bit useless." Xu Gan turned the topic to Lou Jun. "Looking at Lou Jun's handwriting, he has a solid foundation. He has practiced for many years, right?"
"His grandfather likes to write with a calligraphy brush. Xiaojun has spent more time with his grandfather since he was a child, so he has developed this habit." Lou's father changed the topic again. "I remember that you are one year older than Xiaojun, so you are 28 now?"
"Yes, I will be 28 soon."
"Is it booked yet?"
When the question got to the point, Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou were very concerned.Lou Xiao was very nervous, taking advantage of the time when she lowered her head to eat, she glanced at Xu Gan.
Xu Gan didn't look at her, but smiled at the four parents. "Not yet, but I have someone I like. If everything goes well, I hope to bring him home to meet Grandpa this year."
Lou's father and Lou's second uncle looked at each other, Lou's second uncle asked: "I haven't heard you mention it, which girl is it from?"
"Well, speaking of it, it's a small thing. I'll tell everyone when I catch up with you. Now it's a secret."
Fat? !
Uncle Lou and Father Lou looked at each other, knowing that it wasn't Lou Xiao, a little disappointed.Seeing that there was no strange color on Lou Xiao's face, she sighed secretly and let it go.
Lou Xiao glanced at Xu Gan, bowed her head and ate without saying a word.I don't know whether to thank Xu Gan for his clarification, or to tell Xu Gan's plot.
Xu Gan didn't pay attention to her, nor was he affected by Lou's father and Uncle Lou's sudden depression, so he started a new topic. "I told Lou Jun before that grandpa asked me to arrange for everyone to hang out together. I suggest going to Linshan Hot Spring Villa."
"We heard from Xiaojun. In fact, when we go this time, we have not seen your grandfather for a long time. We will visit his old man and talk about his life in these years. You don't need to spend money to do that, as long as you have a room and a place to sit." Father Lou explain.
Uncle Lou also answered, "We just want to talk to your grandpa. Traveling is an activity for you young people. You can discuss it. It just so happens that Xiaojun and the others haven't gone out to play much. This time it's a It’s a good opportunity, if you follow, we can rest assured.”
"In fact, choosing the hot spring resort is also my selfishness. I feel that the medicine bath will be good for Grandpa and Xiaojun's health in the cold weather, and it will also allow everyone to get together. It's because I didn't think carefully." Xu Gan decided to retreat. .
To Lou Xiao's ears, these words sounded like a disguised confession!While he couldn't help praising Xu Gan's courage, he raised his head and waited to see Xu Gan's joke.
Lou's father was very grateful for Xu Gan's hard work, and praised: "You have been a caring child since you were a child, and this time you have a good idea and took care of everyone. We don't want you to spend too much money."
"Uncle is too polite. We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's rare to have a good get-together. It's something to be happy about. It's also a little thought from me, a junior. How can it be a waste of money?"
"I know you are a good and filial boy, your grandpa is blessed." Father Lou raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with Xu Gan. "Anyway, for your heart, I thank you in advance."
"Uncle is serious, this glass should be my toast to you. I have not made a toast yet, so this glass is my New Year's wine. I wish my uncles and aunts a happy New Year and all the best! I wish everyone good health and success in everything." He looked up and emptied his wine glass.
Father Lou and Uncle Lou were obviously in a good mood, and they also emptied their wine glasses.
Lou Xiao, who accompanied her for a sip, watched the whole scene in surprise, and sighed secretly: Good trick!
After drinking and eating, Lou Xiao helped Mother Lou and Aunt Lou clean up a space in the middle of the table and served cakes.
Birthdays are the highlight of the meal.
A ten-inch fruit cake with no special patterns.There is a lit candle on the cake.Lou Xiao urged Lou Jun to make a wish and blow out the candles, and took over the job of dividing the cake later.
After blowing out the candles, Lou Jun sat aside and accepted everyone's blessings.Lou’s father and Lou’s mother’s gift and Lou’s second uncle’s gift have not changed for thousands of years. They are both red envelopes made by themselves with red paper, with "healthy" written on the front. At the earliest, they contained 99 yuan, and later they contained 99 yuan. [-] bucks.I hope Lou Jun is in good health and lives longer.
Xu Gan looked at the red envelope very familiarly, touched the one in his pocket, and understood.He didn't make a sound, and didn't hand over the gift.
After receiving the presents and sharing the cake, and watching Lou Jun eat longevity noodles, the lunch was not over.
The longevity noodles were made by Lou's mother, and it really was a whole noodle in a small bowl.You can't bite it off when you eat it, Lou Jun eats it very hard.
It was already 02:30 in the afternoon when the closing of the tables was really over.
Lou Juan was tired and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.Xu Gan decisively occupied Lou Lang's bed, lying on the bed pretending to be drunk and sleeping.
Lou Lang and Lou Xiao were going to pull him out, but before they could act, they were interrupted by Father Lou and Uncle Lou and called him away.
He and Lou Jun were the only ones in the room.Hearing the sound of closing the door, the sound of footsteps going away, and hearing the silence of Xu Gan in the room, he realized the situation at hand, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.Pretending to be asleep and pretending to be drunk has been forgotten, and he opened his eyes and stared blankly at Lou Jun.
Lou Jun's face was a little red, maybe it was because of the last bowl of noodles, he still remembered how hard he ate.
Lou Jun's breathing was very steady. He was too tired after eating this meal for too long.
Lou Jun's eyes were very dark...Xu Gan was frightened, but he remained calm and asked nonchalantly, "Are you awake?"
"Yes." Being stared at all the time, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
"I see that you are asleep, and you are hesitating when to give you a gift. Sorry, I woke you up."
Lou Jun shook his head: "I didn't sleep, so you didn't disturb me."
Xu Gan got out of bed and approached Lou Jun.
Lou Jun got up, leaned against the head of the bed in a padded jacket, and asked Xu Gan who was in front of him for some unknown reason. "What's wrong?"
"Here's my gift for you." Xu Gan took out a rectangular piece of jade from his pocket, about ten in length, six in width and six in height, and handed it to Lou Jun.
The jade is large, green in color, transparent in texture, delicate and moist in the hand.Lou Jun didn't understand jade, and he could sense its value, so he hesitated.
Seeing that he accepted it, Xu Gan was very happy. "It is said that this is an old piece of jade, which has been passed down in my grandfather's family for many generations. It was given to me by my mother. I have been using it as a paperweight since I learned to paint. Now I give it to you. I hope you can use it frequently. "
It was indeed very valuable, Lou Jun handed it to Xu Gan. "Your mother gave it to you. It's too precious to be given to me."
Xu Gan refused. "It's what I want to give you. If I'm willing, it's suitable." After that, he took it and put it on the table. It was a gift from Grandpa Xu that he gave Lou Jun in the morning. "Open it and have a look."
Lou Jun opened it as he said, and in the middle of the box was a dried ginseng tree.Ginseng is not big, as long as a middle finger, with fine whiskers.
"I chose this ginseng from my grandfather's collection. I heard from my grandfather that it is a century-old wild ginseng. Please put it away carefully."
Lou Jun had seen this kind of ginseng before, and he had one at home, which was left to him by his grandfather. It was bigger than this one, and was kept by Lou's mother.It is said that in the market, this is tens of thousands per gram.Sure enough, it was another valuable item.
Lou Jun had no choice but to joke: "Since it's Grandpa Xu's treasure, shouldn't it be you who secretly took it out?"
"Of course not. When I suggested it, my grandfather let me wrap it without hesitation." Xu Gan signaled Lou Jun to close the lid, and then ordered. "Remember to keep it safe and keep it by your side, it can save lives when necessary."
"Okay, I'll remember." Lou Jun responded, thinking of the wild ginseng tree at home.In fact, he had eaten this thing before, and it was very bitter in his mouth.
"I'll give you this too." Xu Gan took out the red envelope given by Lou's father and handed it to Lou Jun.
"My dad gave you this." Lou Juan refused.
"This was originally your father's blessing to you. I came here so suddenly that I took the liberty to take it away." Xu Gan took Lou Jun's hand and put the red envelope in Lou Jun's hand. "This is also the blessing I want to give you. Now that the property is returned to its original owner, my prayers will be doubled. I hope you will be healthy."
Talking too much...Xu Gan's face became hot, he concealed and put away the red envelope, and asked, "When I called yesterday, why didn't you say you would come today?"
I want to give you a surprise!Xu Gan thought.But he wasn't drunk enough to say so. "On a temporary basis, I want to see how you are doing." Xu Gan pulled the chair beside him and sat down. "Counting it all together, you have been taking the medicine I prescribed and drinking the medicinal wine I prepared for ten days. Let me see how it works! Hold out your hand."
Lou Jun stretched out his left hand.
Hands are cold.Xu Gan held his left hand with his left hand to warm him, and put his right hand on his wrist to diagnose the pulse with a focused expression.After a while, he asked Lou Jun to change his hand, and quickly, consciously stuffed Lou Jun's hand back into the quilt.He said with a dejected look: "Your physique is really special, and my medical skills are not as good as I imagined."
Lou Jun had seen this kind of expression on the faces of Grandpa Lou and Uncle Lou before, and he was quite used to it.He comforted Xu Gan: "Speaking of which, Grandpa Xu also said that I have a special physique."
Xu Gan was overjoyed, and his fighting spirit immediately filled his face. "This situation is a good opportunity for me. I like this challenge. Xiaojun, I promise, I can definitely improve your physique."
To be made such a promise suddenly, no matter it was empty talk or not, Lou Jun was still very moved after being shocked.Regardless of whether he believed in Xu Gan intellectually or not, he encouraged him: "I believe you can do it."
Nice atmosphere.Xu Gan grabbed Lou Jun's hand violently, as if moved. "Xiaojun, you are so kind. Drug testing is a long and arduous process. I will do my best to prevent you from suffering. We will stay together often in the future. If I do not do well, I will trouble you You were so tolerant and corrected."
"Huh?" You probably didn't agree to some strange thing about being a guinea pig voluntarily, right?
Reluctantly.Xu Gan immediately changed his face into a pitiful one. "You don't believe I'll be nice to you?"
"No." What's the situation again.Lou Jun was confused.
"Then you don't believe that I can find a prescription to improve your physique?"
"nor."
"That's why you don't believe in my medical skills?"
"of course not."
With a bitter face, he lowered his head and distanced himself, pretending to be sad solemnly. "I see, you don't want to see me."
What a shame!Lou Jun took the initiative to hold Xu Gan. "No, not at all. I didn't react for a moment just now. I am very grateful for your troubles for me. Thank you."
Satisfied, Xu Gan approached Lou Jun with a smile on his face. "I did it voluntarily, so don't be polite to me. If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me, always online."
Satisfied, seeing the tiredness in Lou Jun's brows, he got up knowingly. "It's already 03:30, I should go back too. You rest for a while, and I will call you at night."
He helped Lou Jun to lie down, tucked the quilt tightly, said goodbye, and walked outside.
In the living room, Lou Xiao watched TV with Mother Lou and Aunt Lou, while Father Lou and Uncle Lou were playing chess and Lou Lang watched the battle.Seeing Xu Gan come out, he put down what he was doing, and Lou's father asked him, "Why don't you take a rest?"
"It's much better now, it's getting late, I should go back." Xu Gan said goodbye.
Lou's father didn't keep him, but sent him to the door and told him to come and play more often in the future.
Lou Xiao volunteered to send him downstairs.
When she got to Xu Gan's car, Lou Xiao looked around and asked, "What did you do in my elder brother's bedroom?"
Xu Gan smiled. "Rest."
Frowning, Lou Xiao stood up straight and said seriously: "You are willing to devote yourself to helping my elder brother improve his physique and get healthy. I am very happy and grateful. However, I will not give you a chance to pester him." Without embarrassment Showed his eavesdropping.
Xu Gan also stopped laughing and corrected her remarks. "It's not entanglement, it's pursuit."
"For me, being harmful to him means that entanglement is trouble."
"I know that you care about him very much and protect him very much. But you didn't stop him from choosing a partner, nor did you stop others from pursuing him."
"You're right, I don't. But, you also understand that you are not a suitor at all, let alone the other half. I will accept your gender; my uncle's family, my parents , even my elder brother himself, but he won’t accept it. Your pursuit has no future, and it will affect my elder brother’s life and his health.”
"Yes, I'm a man, but there's nothing wrong with it. Because I'm a man, I can understand him and his needs better than a woman, can take care of him more comprehensively, and can resist more than him. With me At the same time, he doesn't have to be responsible for other people's lives, he doesn't have to worry that he will let someone down, and he doesn't have to worry that he will die unfortunately one day, leaving orphans and widows with no one to take care of him. He can live easily when he is alive, and when he dies You can also die in peace."
Lou Xiao felt frightened. "Don't you just like him? When did you get so serious? You've only known each other for ten days, right?"
Xu Gan was a little irritable, he took out the unopened cigarettes in his pocket, took out one, but couldn't find the lighter, so he simply pulled out a shredded tobacco and put it in his mouth to chew. "I don't know. It's natural to think of these." Putting the cigarette case in his pocket, he relaxed and half leaned on the car. "To tell the truth. I think Xiaojun already knew what I was thinking. He didn't like me, and he didn't want to show the embarrassment, so he didn't say anything. I just pretended to be stupid and pestered him. I talked to a few men Friends, there has never been one like this. I can't control the rhythm, I can't control people, and I can't keep my own heart. I have a hunch that this time it won't be like before. It's really bad, I I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again."
"You've only known my brother for ten days, so it's still too late to jump out."
"Rationally it should be done, but emotionally it can't be done."
Lou Xiao felt helpless.
The atmosphere seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Xu Gan took a deep breath, opened the car door and stepped into the car, turned his back to Lou Xiao and said, "Now, I can assure you and myself, but in the future, no matter what direction I go, I will not let Lou Jun Embarrassing. I'm leaving, it's cold, you should hurry up too. Goodbye."
Close the door, start the car, back up, turn the steering wheel, and leave.
Standing in the wind, Lou Xiao thought, if her father hadn't arranged for her to call Xu Gan that day, or if she hadn't asked Xu Gan to hang out with him the next day, maybe... the two of them might have met at other times.In this matter, Xu Gan was not wrong, neither was wrong.No one else can interfere with this matter.
