Released

Lu Xiangyang hadn't seen Aunt Xu for a while.

Every time the store rent is paid on a monthly basis, it is only transferred to WeChat, and there is no need for Aunt Xu to collect it face to face.At first glance, he only felt that Aunt Xu was nestled in the quilt, as if she had lost a lot of weight.

The mattress and quilt were not brought by the hospital at first glance.Lu Xiangyang stretched out his hand to feel it, the thin silk material, no matter how you think it was brought over by Zhou Xi.

"I ate the hospital's healthy meal tonight, and it's okay." Aunt Xu talked to him with a bottle in one hand, "But you still make it delicious."

But it seems that the spirit of the old man is quite good, talking and laughing.

Lu Xiangyang scratched his head embarrassingly: "I can't help you with anything else, just ask Aunt Xu what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

He is very fluent in cursing and bickering, but he can't stand the praise, especially when he meets the elders, he always feels flattered by saying a few more words, and he doesn't know how to respond.

Mostly because of not getting used to it.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been blank in terms of "praise" or "encouragement".

Nobody paid attention to him, and he was never a good kid.

"Hey, good boy." Aunt Xu patted the back of his hand resting on the edge of the bed and said, "I can rest assured that Zhou Xi has made a friend like you."

Aunt Xu was talking about friends.

"Hey, let's talk about it. I didn't pay attention today and let Zhou Xi cut his hand." Lu Xiangyang smiled at her in embarrassment, "I was not careful. He and Dr. Gu went downstairs to change the medicine and came over... Aunt Xu, would you like some bread?"

"Sure, try it." Aunt Xu stretched out her other hand from under the quilt, "Our Xiaoyang made it, it must be delicious."

Lu Xiangyang opened the bag, and the European bags inside were carefully cut into pieces, so it was easy to take out.

"I just made this today." Lu Xiangyang said, "I thought I'd bring it to you while it's fresh..."

"You two came to see me suddenly." Aunt Xu looked at him with a smile, "Is there anything else besides bread?"

I can't hide it.

"Zhou Xi..." Lu Xiangyang stood up anxiously, "There is something, it would be better for him to tell you..."

"I'm here." Zhou Xi pushed open the door and walked in, pressed Lu Xiangyang's shoulder to let him sit down, "I said it myself."

When Lu Xiangyang sat down, he turned his head and saw that his hands had been bandaged again, which was much more professional and neat than that of a three-legged cat like himself.

Gu An didn't follow, but he could smell a faint smell of smoke from Zhou Xi's body.

Co-author is still smoking downstairs.

"Teacher Xu." Zhou Xi sat down from the bed, "Xu Qin came to see me."

Aunt Xu blinked hard.

"I...leave for a while." Lu Xiangyang stood up from the stool, he said vaguely, "Go to the toilet."

When he left, he closed the door, and the room was clean again.

"I'm sorry, child." Aunt Xu put her hand back under the quilt, leaving only the side with the hanging needle on the bed frame.Zhou Xi saw her pinch the bar of the railing secretly.

The speed of the infusion was very slow, and the liquid in the dripping pot was slightly yellow, slowly squeezed out drop by drop like an hourglass for timing.

It was like a lengthy countdown before the verdict.

"It's not the first time she came back." Aunt Xu said, "I didn't tell you then."

It's cold outside the hospital building.

Miancheng belongs to the south, and there is no snow in winter.But Lu Xiangyang felt that the rain was much worse than the heavy snow in his hometown.In their place, it is only dry and cold, and when the heating is turned on in the house, it is a comfortable 24 to [-] degrees.

Cotton City is different, wet and cold.

It seems a very appropriate metaphor on the Internet, the coldness in cotton city is a magical attack.The chill pierced through the bones, no matter how much you wear it, you can't stop it, and when the wind blows, your defenses will be broken.

Lu Xiangyang let out a breath of white air, and he stomped his feet.

"Come down?" Gu An came out from nowhere, he wiped the lighter next to Lu Xiangyang, and lit the one next to his mouth, "Would you like a cigarette?"

Lu Xiangyang watched the cigarette burn red under the other party's breath, and suddenly there was an illusion of being burned in his eyes. He inappropriately remembered what his father had mentioned at some point, that smoking a cigarette would warm his lungs.

real or fake.

"Go ahead." Lu Xiangyang said, "It's too cold."

Gu An laughed, took out the cigarette case and lighter and put them in Lu Xiangyang's hands.

"Take it yourself." The man held a cigarette between his hands, exhaled into the air, and said flatly, "Zhou Xi will kill me if he knows."

Not warm either.

It's hard for Lu Xiangyang to describe this feeling, after all, it's not his favorite taste.

But when the smoke came out of his mouth, there was indeed white smoke that seemed to be lingering with heat, rising slowly, an illusion of warmth brought about by the imagination of the brain.

But that turned out not to be true.

Gu An glanced at him calmly, as if he was looking at a high school student who just learned bad things: "It's good like this, don't learn too much."

Lu Xiangyang took a few puffs and gave up.

But out of politeness, he still insisted on holding it in his hand, and every time he burned a bit, he knocked a piece of ash into the smoke extinguisher on the top of the trash can.

The two stood side by side at the door of the building.

"Why do you smoke?" Lu Xiangyang suddenly felt a little regretful when he asked this sentence, if that opportunity was not a good topic...it would be embarrassing.

"No reason." Gu An squinted at him, "What reason do you need?"

"Oh." Lu Xiangyang thought for a while, most of the reason why he doesn't smoke is because he hates his father, there are still reasons.

But there was no need to say it, he still chose to keep silent.

Gu An's chat topics are always at a higher level than others, and when he talks seriously, no one else can catch up with him except Zhou Xi.

The two stood silently for a while.

"Zhou Xi told me that he might go back and have a look." After Gu An took his last puff, he pressed the end of the cigarette on the smoke extinguishing stone. Lu Xiangyang looked at the cigarette in his hand, there was still some left, and he followed closely. snuffed out.

"...En." Lu Xiangyang always felt that he still had something to say, so he swallowed and did not continue.

"I don't think it's necessary." Gu An said, "What can I do if I go back and take a look? It really seems like it can be written off. Zhou Xi's thoughts are all on Teacher Xu, and it is absolutely impossible to stay with Xu Qin."

"I'm in a hurry to spend so much effort to go abroad, tossing around." Gu An paused and sighed, "He just wanted to make his mind feel at ease."

Sure enough, Zhou Xi didn't mention his father's matching.

It seems that I won't say anything to Aunt Xu.

Lu Xiangyang gritted his teeth and endured it. Gu An's words seemed to remind him of something, so he sighed heavily.

"If he wants to leave, I'll go with him." Lu Xiangyang felt a little depressed when he thought of Zhou Xi's leaving. "If Xu Qin's family really dares to detain him, I can tie him back."

Gu An shook his head.

"No, you should be sober." Gu An said, "If he really leaves for a few days, you have to stay and watch Mr. Xu. This kind of bloody trouble comes to him... He has such strong self-esteem, he won't let you followed."

Lu Xiangyang looked at the sky, it was gray and there were no stars.

"Yeah." Lu Xiangyang threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, put his hands back into his pockets, and behind him was the inpatient department building with bright aisles, "I won't go up, wait for him to come down."

Gu An returned to the office after smoking, leaving Lu Xiangyang kicking small stones downstairs.Fortunately, Zhou Xi didn't chat for a long time, and he came down earlier than Lu Xiangyang thought.

It's just that before he walked into Lu Xiangyang's side, his brows were furrowed.

"Are you still smoking?" Zhou Xi grabbed him and sniffed him, then narrowed his eyes, "Gu An took you?"

"Not as an example." Lu Xiangyang raised his hands in surrender, "Aunt Xu...how should I say it?"

The author says:

Roasted sea cucumber with scallion eaten today.

ah!It is the shallots left over from beef fried with scallions yesterday!Use it to make sea cucumber with green onion!

Super delicious, the crispy sea cucumber is wrapped in a rich sauce, the taste is invincible~ it will bounce when cut x

This is really simple (when the sea cucumbers are soaked in advance), this dish is extremely fast, and it tastes like a big hotel.

First take the scallion and fry it out of the scallion oil ~ the color of the scallion is white and fry it on a low heat until it turns black, then remove it and discard it.

Leave the scallion oil in the pot, soak the hair and wash the hollowed sea cucumbers, fry the back side down until the crispy skin is browned, then add a bowl of sauce (half a bowl of water + very fresh taste + oil consumption + cooking wine + chicken essence + pepper flour + a little sugar), cover and simmer for 4 minutes.

Next, take it out and put it on a plate~ Thicken the remaining sauce with starch water, pour the juice on the sea cucumbers that have been placed on the plate, and that’s it!

PS: President Xiao Lu was caught smoking XD
