Ginger Flower

"Jiang Hua, how did you do in the exam?" Jiang Xu asked.

Jiang Hua checked the score and said, "More than 600."

"What kind of school can I go to?"

"I... want to stay in this school and go straight to high school?"

Jiang Xu thought for a while and said, "You can decide for yourself."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Hua let out a sigh of relief when he left the room, worried that he would disagree.

"Hey, Cong Shen, how are you doing?"

Cong Shen was silent for a while and said, "Little Jiang Hua, I almost got into this school."

"..."

Life will not always be difficult, this is the truth that Jiang Hua believes in.

No matter how difficult the time is, as long as you persevere, you will see a bright future.

Or a tougher future.

"What are you going to do?"

Cong Shen was silent for a while and said: "Go to the vocational high school next door, it's fine if it's closer to you. Anyway, my parents don't have any hope for me to be admitted to this school."

Jiang Hua frowned and said, "There will be a turning point, it's just one point away, trust me."

"Ah."

Jiang Xu came back very late that day, wearing a crumpled shirt and smelling of alcohol.

Jiang Hua took off Jiang Xu's clothes, let him lie on the bed, poured a cup of sober tea and put it on the table.

After confirming that Jiang Xu was gradually waking up, Jiang Hua asked softly: "Dad, do you have any acquaintances in the school I study in?"

Jiang Xu opened his eyes and said, "Why, didn't you pass the exam?"

Jiang Hua pursed her lips and said, "I have a friend who is one point short."

"You found a relationship and found me here?"

"No... I just..."

"I will pay attention." Jiang Xu said and walked to the room.

Jiang Hua slumped on the sofa, sometimes feeling like a stranger to his father, not a father and son.Living in the same house, but it seems to have nothing to do with him.

Waking up in the morning, Jiang Hua saw more than a dozen cigarette butts accumulated in the ashtray on the coffee table, as well as hundreds of dollars suppressed by the cup.

Cong Shen didn't contact Jiang Hua again throughout the summer vacation, as if deliberately downplaying his connection in Jiang Hua's life.

Jiang Hua called Cong Shen and either refused to answer or turned off the phone, and even attached to his home, he couldn't find anyone.

"Mother Cong, I'm here to find Cong Shen." Jiang Hua's complexion was not very good. Cong Shen didn't contact him, and he didn't have the guts to go to Cong Shen's house for dinner. Ten catties.

Cong's mother was taken aback, then sighed and said, "Little Jiang Hua, did Cong Shen quarrel with you?"

Jiang Hua shook his head.

Cong's mother said: "That kid Cong Shen... Hey... Cong Shen is helping Uncle Zhang upstairs walk his dog."

Jiang Hua nodded, and ran downstairs. There was a small garden downstairs. It was almost winter, and the plants and trees were all withered.

After walking around the garden for a while, I saw Cong Shen's figure.

Cong squatted on the ground, and Husky squatted with him stupidly.

From a distance, it looks like two huskies.

Cong Shen was muttering something, stretched out his hand to pat the husky's head for a while, and continued to poke the grass roots for a while.

Jiang Hua approached cautiously, listening carefully to what he was saying.

"Fuck... I've been studying for so long... It's like my mother didn't learn... Ah no, it's better not to learn, mother... Why is it only one point away. Xiao Jianghua, Xiao Jiang Hua, since your father is gone, you will only have me to see you, come on, Erdanzi, come and nourish little Jianghua."

The husky stood up, went to the grass and smelled it, and then raised his legs to release its nature.

Jiang Hua rushed towards Cong Shen and grabbed his neck with his hands.

Cong Shen was just about to have a happy forward roll, crushing this short-sighted little bastard to death, but smelled the familiar scent of Jiang Hua, and silently hugged his leg and stood up.

"You call that a little ginger flower from a weed?"

"...What kind of weed, can it talk? My mother said that clump is ginger flower."

"So you fucking let Erdanzi go pee on it?!"

"... What pee, is that fertilizer?"

"..."

Jiang Hua put her arms around Cong Shen's neck, shook her legs and said, "Why are you hiding from me?"

Cong Shen was silent, and jumped forward with Jiang Hua on his back, calling Erdanzi to come forward.

"After studying for so long, it's as if I haven't learned. I feel so aggrieved in my heart."

"There will be a turning point, Cong Shen..." Jiang Hua said softly, "Because you have been hiding from me for the past few days, brother is in a bad mood, and I will punish you to carry me home."

Cong Shen kept complaining: "Oh my brother, your house is on the sixth floor!"

Jiang Hua tightened Cong Shen's neck and said, "Hurry up, don't babble."

"Okay, Erdanzi, who are we faster! Get ready... Fuck, Erdanzi hasn't started yet!"

The husky didn't listen to Cong Shen's words, and ran forward happily, his mouth full of tears.

I might like him.

Jiang Hua thought so, and hugged Cong Shen even tighter.

like a man.

Ginger painting, oh ginger painting.

Jiang Hua buried her head in Cong Shen's shoulder socket and wiped her tears on it.

The road ahead is difficult.
