The four of them chatted in their own way, and they actually chatted to their heart's content. Zhou Shiying drank a little too much, put his arm on Lin Hongwen's shoulders and didn't let go, muttering in his ear, "Hongwen, you have to fix this person." ”

"What are you doing here?" Lin Hongwen looked at his drunken appearance and asked with a smile.

"Let's make the business bigger", Zhou Shiying said, leaning his head on Lin Hongwen's shoulder and playing tricks, "I think he also has the meaning of finding something to do, you see, this is the so-called Lang You's concubine who intends to ......"

"What's that?" Lin Hongwen looked at him with tears and laughter, "How much have you drunk?" ”

"Hongwen, don't interrupt him, let him continue", He Mule leaned forward and leaned back, "Who is Lang and who is the concubine?" ”

"Don't talk about that", Zhou Shiying pushed Lin Hongwen away, "You get him, I'll tell you when the time comes, the fire cooks oil, the flowers are blooming, **......"

"Okay, okay", the more Lin Hongwen listened, the more worried he became, "It's still **, He Mu, you can send him directly to Sister Hong in a while." ”

"I'm not going", Zhou Shiying muttered, "I'm not going!" ”

"Okay, okay", Lin Hongwen turned his head to look at Xu Qingzhi, obviously he had drunk a lot, but he was talking a lot, and he was looking down at the ground and walking in a straight line at this time.

"He Mu, you send Shi Ying back", Lin Hongwen instructed, "You must send him to the door." ”

"I know, don't worry," He Mu said, "it will be delivered." ”

He Mu walked away with Zhou Shiying, Lin Hongwen looked at Xu Qingzhi worriedly, and said in his heart that this time he let Dr. Xu see it, and he couldn't help but have to say a few words.

Lin Hongwen and Xu Qingzhi entered the hospital nervously, but fortunately, Dr. Xu just had a bad face and did not say anything to blame. Lin Hongwen saw Xu Qingzhi enter the house, turned around and went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Feng to cook some decanting soup. Aunt Feng was actually happy when she heard that Xu Qingzhi had drunk too much, "Young master is rarely drunk, the last time was before he went to England." ”

"I don't think he's making trouble when he drinks too much," Mr. Lin said.

"Yes, the young master, this kid is worry-free when he is young, he doesn't make trouble if he drinks too much, and he is quiet", Aunt Feng said and added, "It's just that the temper is stubborn, and no one will listen to what he recognizes." ”

Lin Hongwen chatted with Aunt Feng for a while, and when the decanting soup was ready, he brought it in. Xu Qingzhi was sitting on the edge of the bed silently, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes were straight.

Lin Hongwen handed the decanting soup to him, "Decanting soup, drink it quickly." ”

Xu Qingzhi looked up at him when he heard this, his eyes were rarely confused, he reached out and took the bowl in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.

Lin Hongwen took the empty bowl and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Xu Qingzhi call him. Lin Hongwen looked at him inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hongwen."

"Huh?"

"You said that if I go to study so far away, can I really apply what I have learned?"

Lin Hongwen sat down beside him and said slowly, "What you learn seems to us to be new and unheard of, but it is because it is fresh and unheard of that it will be of great use." Shi Ying is also full of praise for you, it can be seen that people like you are treasures everywhere. ”

"Really?" Xu Qingzhi said a little tiredly, "In the past few days since I came back, I have been thinking, if no one can accept these things I have learned, and there is no place to use them, then the words I have said before have become empty words?" Zhou Shiying was the first person who was willing to listen to me and agree with me. ”

"I'm not human, am I?" Lin Hongwen pointed at himself unhappily.

"It's different", Xu Qingzhi pressed his hand, "He is a businessman, his business is doing well, and his affirmation makes me feel very happy." ”

Lin Hongwen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said in his heart that his business was done by your grandfather and me, do you know? "And mine must have upset you?"

"It's different", Xu Qingzhi shook his head, "You are like my younger brother, whatever your family does is good." ”

Lin Hongwen said in his heart, he couldn't get angry, and he didn't know if he was drunk or not, so he couldn't afford to provoke or hide. So he took the empty bowl and slipped out.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were only a few old men left in the medical hall to keep the New Year, a few people ate and drank, played a few games of chess, and played the Western poker brought back by Xu Qingzhi for a while, and unknowingly passed the time.

Doctor Xu ate dumplings and went back to the room after a while, and Zheng Yun and Cheng Yu went back to sleep after a while. Xu Qingzhi looked at Lin Hongwen, whose cheeks were slightly red, and stretched out a finger to shake in front of him, "Hongwen, what is this?" ”

Lin Hongwen glanced at him, "I'm sober, but my face is red when I drink." ”

"Really? Why wasn't it red last time? ”

"Last time?" Lin Hongwen was happy, "Last time you were so drunk that you were delirious, can you still remember whether I blushed or not?" ”

"By the way, I said I was going to give you the scarf last time, but I haven't poured it out," Xu Qingzhi said, "It's just right, now they're all sleeping." ”

Lin Hongwen smiled and shook his head, "As long as I bring out your scarf, they will all know that you gave it, and it makes no difference whether it is there or not." ”

"Whatever, let's go", Xu Qingzhi dragged Lin Hongwen to the inner room, took out the scarf from the cabinet, and wrapped it around Lin Hongwen with his own hands. He took a few steps back, frowned and looked up and down, and then took out a coat from the wardrobe to put on Lin Hongwen, Lin Hongwen said, "This is not good." ”

"What's wrong with this", Xu Qingzhi said, "It was originally bought for my father, and you don't know that he is a person, and he sneers at these foreign things, do you want to watch this clothes attract insects?" ”

"Then you can also give it to Cheng Yu or Zheng Yun?"

Xu Qingzhi's face sank, "There is only your size left in this medical hall that can afford this dress, who do you want me to send?" ”

"I'm scared of you, can't I?" Lin Hongwen stretched out his arm and put it in his sleeve, "I told you that your temper was much better when you were drunk than now." ”

Xu Qingzhi helped him button it and nodded with satisfaction, "It's all good, it's better if you don't have braids, when you can cut your braids, I'll cut them for you myself." He raised his hand again and compared the size of the two, "You are taller than me...... That's got to be more than two inches, right? ”

Lin Hongwen smiled, "My father and my eldest brother are both tall. ”

"But you're too thin," Xu Qingzhi said, "eat more." ”

"You also said this to Dr. Xu", Lin Hongwen said, "I have tried my best to eat, in fact, I have grown meat, but it is not obvious for a while." ”

"That's good", Xu Qingzhi said, "Actually, I still have a pair of sheepskin gloves that I don't have much to wear......"

"Stop, stop", Lin Hongwen hurriedly waved his hand, "Those who know say that you are generous, and those who don't know think that I robbed you." ”

"Just what you say", Xu Qingzhi said, "I take you as my younger brother, what's wrong with being my brother buying a body for my younger brother?" ”

Lin Hongwen was stunned, and then lowered his eyes. Xu Qingzhi realized that he had said the wrong thing, and explained, "Dad told me something about your family......"

"I know you mean well", Lin Hongwen said with a smile at the corner of his eyes, "You and Dr. Xu are very good to me, and I am very grateful to you." It's just that although it's been three years, it's still sad to think about. ”

"I understand", Xu Qingzhi said, "You see that this is the New Year, but it reminds you of sad things." ”

Lin Hongwen shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's too late, you go to bed quickly, you get up late tomorrow, and you have to be scolded again." ”

53.

Other people's homes are lively during the New Year, but the medical hall is a little colder than usual. Lin Hongwen looked at the book drowsily, with his chin on his legs, and He Gui came in from outside. Lin Hongwen said in his heart that now he has to change his name to Boss He, and it is not good to stay at home during the New Year, what are you doing here?

He Gui is different from the past, his clothes are much more exquisite than before, and even the tea he sends is more expensive than before. Lin Hongwen thought that if Zhou Shiying was there, he would definitely be able to say something, but he didn't understand this, just looking at He Gui's outfit, the fur on the cuffs and neckline was slippery, it must also be a good thing.

Doctor Xu coughed, Lin Hongwen came back to his senses, Aunt Feng was not there, and the work of making tea naturally fell to him. Lin Hongwen went to the back to make tea, and poured it and laid it out in a proper manner.

He Gui was smiling and talking to Dr. Xu, Lin Hongwen sat silently in the corner and pretended to look down at a book, but his ears couldn't wait to be pricked up to listen.

He Gui said: "Not long after I went back from the last time I hit you here, I sold all the land over there in Hulan. Later, I started a small business, and now I have come back in circles. ”

"Looking at Boss He's appearance, it can be called a return to his hometown," Xu Shihuai said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be", He Gui shook his head, "Since I came back, I wanted to come over to see you, and today can be regarded as free." ”

"Boss He is busy and still thinking about me", Xu Shihuai said politely, "I don't know what business Boss He plans to do when he comes back?" ”

"I'm still thinking about it," He Gui said, "I heard that we didn't have a lot of peace here last year?" ”

"Yes, there was an epidemic in the summer," Xu Shihuai said, "and a lot of people died." ”

"Alas, the world is really impermanent," He Gui sighed, "I walked around the market after I came back, and found that it seemed to be not as lively as before. ”

"Yes, the shops were basically closed at that time," Xu Shihuai said, "and it was only after the winter that some of them recovered." ”

"I heard something and want to ask you for verification," He Gui said in a low voice.
