bud

Jiang Yu became addicted to eating You Yezhi's cooking, and ran over for two days. Jiang Dezhi told him that he restrained himself a little, and ate some white rice and shredded pork with vegetables at home at noon, and ran again at night. The home of Shuci.

His homework hasn't been changed in the past two days. Zi Luo knows him very well, so he guessed it a long time ago. He didn't let him go anywhere this afternoon, and they sat together by the window to do their homework.

The leaves of the cherry trees turned yellow and withered, and the wind blew across the courtyard again. Jiang Yu looked up at the small branches outside the window, remembering that every summer when picking cherries, he would be stung by caterpillars.

"Don't be in a daze." Zi Luo was working on a math problem, substituting the formula on the scratch paper, "Go to the library tomorrow, and the school laboratory the day after tomorrow. If you don't write until the start of school, you may not be able to finish it."

There was indeed too much homework, so Jiang Yu picked up the pen again and spit out: "Your cherries are so sour."

Zi stopped, looked at him, and replied, "Your persimmons are very sweet."

childish.Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing a few times, seeing that Zi Luo's workbook had been completed on a whole page, and he had just finished the multiple choice questions.

"Wait for me..." Jiang Yu said, "Why don't I just copy yours, I know how to do it anyway."

Judging from his expression, Zi Luo was a little speechless: "Then you should copy mine for the college entrance examination, anyway, you will too."

Zi Luo sometimes doesn't speak, but when he really gets angry, it makes people speechless.

Jiang Yu honestly wrote his homework for a while, and when he was tired, he lay down on the table and closed his eyes, listening to the sound of Zi Luo's writing in his ears and couldn't stop.He secretly opened his eyes to look, Zi Luo solved the problem very seriously.

In Jiang Yu's impression, Zi Luo is the kind of person who is serious about everything he does and can do it well. In his heart, he is so perfect that he can hardly pick out any flaws.His grades are so good, which is actually the reason why Zi Luo stayed beside him to supervise him.

Feeling his gaze from the corner of his eye, Zi Luo stopped writing, stood up and looked through the bookcase, found a few older books and exercise books and put them in front of him.

Jiang Yu saw the words on it clearly, and his face sank again.

"If you don't want to do your homework, just read." Zi Luo said in a calm voice, "Take the exam when school starts, and strive for progress if you don't want to be nagged by Teacher Hu."

Jiang Yu sighed: "It's like this in the second year of high school, can people still live in the third year?"

Zi Luo finished one problem, but didn't immediately start the next one: "Jiang Yu."

"what?"

"Can you make it into the top [-] in this test?"

top twenty? !Jiang Yu thought for a while: "Do I have to work hard to improve so much in one go?"

Zi Luo asked: "Then do you want to enter the top twenty?"

"I definitely want to."

"Then read the previous exercise book." Zi Luo tapped on the book in front of him, "Take your time, I'm only a sophomore in high school now, so I have time."

What Zi Luo meant was not that you had to be in the top [-] in this test, but that you had to be in the top [-] in the third year of high school.Jiang Yu thought about it, and Zi Luo was in the top three of the next grade. He probably didn't run away from the best university in the country, but he didn't necessarily have to.

Lingering in the 30s may not be able to get into the same university as Zi Luo, so he really needs to work harder.

Not only that, he wants to be in the top ten in the grade, preferably in the top five, or in the fourth place, and his name can be next to Ziluo.

"Well, I have to work hard."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu was beating drums and drums in his heart. He had done homework for a long time, and the draft paper was filled with several sheets. When he calculated the answer, he checked with Zi Luo, recalculated the wrong place, and exchanged ideas if they had different ideas. At the end, he stayed for an hour. It is time to review the knowledge points of the previous semester.

Both of them were honest tonight and had dinner at home.It was rare for Xu Meiyin to come back early today. Seeing her entering the house, Jiang Dezhi went to the kitchen to cook. The fish steamed in the pot was already cooked and full of fragrance.

Jiang Yu read the physics exercise book at the desk, and heard Xu Meiyin and Jiang Dezhi talking in the kitchen for a while.After a few minutes, Xu Meiyin walked into the room and knocked on his door: "Xiao Yu, come out and wash your hands and eat. Your father cooked fish today."

Jiang Yu responded, "Got it, Mom."

When the three of them sat down, they were all quiet. Jiang Dezhi took out his wine bottle and poured a whole glass of wine into the glass. Xu Meiyin handed the chopsticks to Jiang Yu, and was not very happy when she saw it: "Why are you drinking so much at home?"

Jiang Dezhi stared and looked at her: "Look at you, why can't you drink at home?"

"You can drink it." Xu Meiyin said, "Drink less, it will make people unable to sleep if you get drunk and babble."

"Why am I nagging again, what does it matter to me if you sleep?"

It didn't make sense at all, Xu Meiyin frowned and waved her hands: "That's enough, let's eat."

Tonight's meal is not noodles, boiled back rice, Jiang Yu ate it dully, and saw Xu Meiyin picked up a large piece of fish for him: "Eat slowly, I think there are quite a lot of thorns."

"it is good."

There was news on the TV, and the volume was not low.Jiang Dezhi took a sip of his wine and said, "Your father can also cook, why go to other people's houses to eat all day? No one in that family is normal."

Jiang Yu frowned immediately after the last sentence came out.

Xu Meiyin continued: "Mu Dexiang, you two?"

"That's not true." Jiang Dezhi still had food in his mouth, "The old gay raised a little gay, so it's not ashamed to lose it."

Xu Meiyin didn't have a good impression of Shuci at the beginning, and she could still be so noisy without parents. She blurted out the word "wild child" to Shuci several times, but she didn't expect Shuci to smile and didn't care.Later, when Shuci helped Jiang Yu fight against injustice, Xu Meiyin changed his mind about him.

"The child is a good child." Xu Meiyin thought for a while, "Why is there such a problem?"

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Jiang Dezhi's eyes froze, he looked at Jiang Yu, and frowned with wide and thick brows, "Am I wrong? You should play less with him in the future."

The meat in his mouth was no longer fragrant. Jiang Yu chewed it a few times but didn't swallow it. He said dissatisfied: "Brother Ci is very good to me, and it's not a disease. Don't say that about him."

Jiang Dezhi didn't bother with the dishes anymore. He had a serious face and looked particularly fierce. He raised his voice a bit: "I want to say what I want to say! My son still cares about me? Who is your father? Are you talking to outsiders?"

Jiang Yu didn't eat anymore: "He is not an outsider."

In Jiang Yu's heart, calligraphy is like a big brother, he is very optimistic and cheerful, as if he can maintain a positive and good attitude to face whatever happens.For example, when he grew up in an orphanage, he was said to be a "wild child" for ten years, "born with a mother but not raised by a mother", "no tutor" and a series of words that would make him sad when he heard them. Ci never.

Although it was true that he stomped his feet when he was bullied when he was a child, Shuci treated him very well later on.It's a pity that Shuci University has left City S, and we can only see him a few times a year.

"Is he not an outsider? Then who is he! Is it your brother?!" Jiang Dezhi exploded immediately after saying the last three words, and slammed his hands on the table, "Your brother only has Jiang Lai! Only Jiang Lai! No one else ! Not disgustingly gay!"

Jiang Yu said feebly: "I didn't say he was my brother, he was very kind to me..."

"What's so good! You are only good for me and your mother, and for... and your brother Jiang Lai!" Jiang Dezhi's eyes turned red with anger, and he put down his chopsticks, "I have been running to other people at noon and night these days Eat at home, the dishes I cook are poisonous, right? Are you homeless? I’ll tell you not to play with him in the future!”

"Why?" Jiang Yu felt sullen and went straight to the top of his head. He usually avoids quarrels and would not contradict Jiang Dezhi, but tonight Jiang Dezhi's words made him unacceptable, "He is very good to me. He has been very good to me since I was a child. Okay. You and Mom are not bad to me, but when people scold me for not being close to me, it’s Brother Ci and Zi Luo who help me out. What would you do? Get drunk at home and act like those people outside Do you scold me the same?"

Jiang Dezhi stared at him for ten seconds without saying a word.

Xu Meiyin didn't expect Jiang Yu to say such a thing. She knew that Jiang Yu was unwilling to communicate with them, but she didn't expect Jiang Yu to be so alienated from the two of them in his heart.She persuaded, "Okay, don't..."

The sound of "哗啦" was extremely ear-piercing, the bowl fell apart on the ground, and the rice collapsed everywhere, sticking to the ground.Jiang Dezhi stood up and pointed at Jiang Yu and yelled: "What shit! You're blaming me now, you would have died without me and your mother, what's wrong with scolding you, I raised you so much, you are my son and scolding you a few words Can't do it?!"

Jiang Yu's lips were tight, and he didn't take a few mouthfuls of food. The fish that Xu Meiyin gave him was still in the bowl, but now he has no appetite at all.He pushed the bowl away and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he got up and went back to the room. Behind him was Jiang Dezhi's yelling louder and louder: "If you want to be beaten, just say a word! If you don't beat you up, you won't even know who your surname is. Damn/you Mom, what are you..."

"Okay!" Xu Meiyin couldn't eat anymore, "Why are you losing your temper! Don't tell me to just shut up, and just come up when you get angry. What did you do to a good meal?!"

Jiang Dezhi looked at her: "It's my problem again? Do you see how your son respects me a little bit? Is that the attitude you should tell me?!"

Xu Meiyin was so angry that she also raised her voice: "You can't even say a few words to lose your temper suddenly, that's how you are, when you say your temper comes up..."

"Get out!" Jiang Dezhi didn't forget to drink even after the meal fell, "You just face him, and you don't care if he eats every meal at someone else's house these two days? It's just this son who doesn't serve snacks. If Jiang Lai still exist……"

The word Jiang Lai was like a scar in each of their hearts. Xu Meiyin felt sad when she heard it, and Jiang Dezhi's roar didn't stop in her ears, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.

"Aren't I facing him toward you? You can see for yourself what kind of dishes you cook every day. Why don't you ask Jiang Yuyu what he likes to eat? It's like eating some meat and not being willing to serve it. There are only a few pieces on the plate. You drink and finish eating, how do you let him eat, you don’t know anything when I’m not at home, right?!”

"I think it's good!" Jiang Dezhi asked again, "Is this what Jiang Yuxue told you?"

"He didn't tell me anything! I know your bad manners!"

……

Jiang Yu tucked his head into the quilt and blocked his ears with his hands, trying to isolate the continuous quarrel, preferably not at all.

He sometimes finds it strange that every time their family quarrels, it's because of a trivial matter. He can't accept what Jiang Dezhi said, and it's not like he hasn't belittled other people, but Jiang Yu always goes in one ear and out the other.What made him uncomfortable tonight was Jiang Dezhi's phrases 'an old gay raised a young gay' and 'disgusting gay'.

Mu Dexiang and Shuci treated him and Zi Luo as well as they did to their own family members.

Gay, he was gay himself.

Jiang Dezhi's personality is irritable and irritable, and he often loses his temper when he says something wrong, so Jiang Yu seldom talks to him too much. Can't live.

He thought that Mu Dexiang adopted Shuci when he was ten years old, and every time he got along with him, he joked in harmony and lived a very interesting life.Zi Luo's home is very warm, everyone at the dinner table is chatting about family affairs, and they don't judge others.

Why is it so simple, but not at home?

It was still noisy outside, and it seemed to be getting louder and louder. Jiang Yu took out his mobile phone and plugged it into the earphones, and turned the volume to the maximum.

Zi's ​​family had dinner late, and Zi Chengmin had just returned from working overtime for a while before Xie Xiaoan finished the meal.When Jiang Dezhi lost his temper, they vaguely heard something, but they couldn't stop. Xie Xiaoan asked: "Old/Jiang drank too much again? What are you arguing about?"

"Hey——" Zi Chengmin washed his hands, "Isn't it like this every day, he has a bad temper...was he scolding Xiaoyu just now?"

Xie Xiaoan heard a few words clearly: "Yes. Zi Luo! Take the food to the house, and eat."

Zi Luo, who was standing in the yard, turned his gaze away from the next door, picked up the dishes and walked into the living room.

Zi Chengmin sat down, Xie Xiaoan put the rice in front of Ziluo, shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's lucky to grow up in such a family environment without any psychological problems."

"I think Jiang Yu is pretty good." Zi Chengmin said, "The grades are good and he is obedient, this is old/Jiang—"

When Zi Luo heard "there's nothing wrong with his mind", he paused slightly with the hands holding the chopsticks, and put them on the bowl without even reaching out to pick up the dishes.He thought for a while, and went back to the house to get his cell phone.

Xie Xiaoan guessed what he was going to do, and yelled at him: "Luoluo! Ask Xiaoyu if he has eaten, let him come to our house!"

Zi Luo found Jiang Yu's chat box, edited, "How are you?", thought about it and deleted it.He re-edited "Have you eaten yet?" After thinking about it, he deleted it. He was hesitating what to say when the other party directly sent a sentence - I'm fine.

Zi Luo adjusted his breathing and let out a breath of relief.

With earphones plugged into Jiang Yu's ears, she was playing rock music, covering up the noise of the quarrel outside.He lay on the bed and flipped back and forth aimlessly with his mobile phone, and finally got used to opening Ziluo's chat box.

As soon as I clicked on it, I saw "The other party is typing" displayed on it, and it disappeared after a while. After repeating this, Jiang Yu knew what Zi Luo meant, and sent a message directly.

Luo: Well, have you eaten yet?

Jiang Yu thought about it. He ate a few mouthfuls of rice just now and smelled the smell of fish, so he ate it anyway. Besides, he has no appetite to eat now.

Encounter: eat.

Luo: Really eat?

Jiang Yu's sullen mood finally dissipated a little, thinking that Zi Luo really deserves to be the one who knows him best.

Encounter: After eating a little, I am not hungry anymore.

Luo: come to my house

Encounter: No, I will fall asleep after reading a book.

Zi Luo looked at the chat records, and finally typed: OK.

Jiang Yu put the phone on the pillow, closed his eyes to calm his mind for a while, and took off his earphones after ten o'clock, and the two people outside had already ceased fighting.

He opens the door, looks to the right, and finds that the light in Jiang Rae’s room is on.

Xu Meiyin was tired all day and managed to go home early, and Jiang Dezhi was so angry that he didn't eat a few mouthfuls. He didn't even let him in the door when he went to bed at night, so Jiang Dezhi went directly to Jianglai's room.

Jiang Yu returned to the house after washing, locked the door, and turned on the night light to read the exercise book from last semester.

After watching for about half an hour, his stomach growled. Jiang Yu took a sip of milk and turned over. A few minutes later, his stomach growled again, this time longer than last time.

He gave an irritable "tsk", and suddenly remembered the fried chicken at the street corner.

Unable to stop thinking about it, Jiang Yu swallowed, and it was useless to drink the whole carton of milk.Holding the mobile phone next to the pillow in his hand, he sent a text message to Zi Luo.

Encounter: are you asleep?

fall: no

Jiang Yu sent a voice chat directly.

Zi Luo was still working on the test paper, so she put down the pen in her hand and pressed answer.

"Luoluo—"

The sound of Luoluo was made with a breathy voice, probably Jiang Yu was afraid of being heard by Xu Meiyin, Zi Luo was slightly relieved when he heard that his voice was the same as usual: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu asked in a breathy voice, "Are you hungry—"

Zi Luo stared blankly at the branches outside the window, then laughed: "Did you not eat tonight?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yu finally admitted that he was so hungry that his chest was on his back, "I'm so hungry, do you want to eat Brother Zhang's fried chicken?"

Zi Luo rubbed his eyebrows: "Is there no food at home?"

Jiang Yu was so hungry that he was so hungry that he said in a breathless voice, "That noodles with soy sauce, octopus balls, oh, and sister Xia's potato flour, fried chicken tenders by the roadside, sweet and sour pork, pancakes with sliced ​​tenderloin , the very expensive freshly ground soy milk—"

Zi Luo listened to him talking about more than a dozen kinds of snacks, and put down the pen in his hand.

Ten minutes later, two sneaky figures appeared in Baihua Hutong.

A figure didn't straighten its back, and shouted in a breathy voice: "Luoluo—"

"Here it is." Zi Luo gently closed the door and walked towards him.

Jiang Yu probed his head to listen to the movement, for fear that Jiang Dezhi would scold him if he found out: "Be quiet! Didn't you find out?"

"No." Zi Luo tugged at his arm and walked forward, "I can't hear you anymore, stand up straight."

Jiang Yu slowly put his heart back into his stomach, and instead grabbed Zi Luo's arm, he said in pain, "I'm starving to death, I can't walk anymore."

Zi Luo said, "Next time, be smarter, eat your fill before talking back."

"You heard everything?"

"No." He only heard Jiang Dezhi's voice, and he could hear Jiang Yu talking back, "Why?"

Jiang Yu said: "My dad said Brother Ci was not good, I couldn't help but talk back to him, you know his temper, he just got angry."

At this time, every house is closed and the lights are turned off. There are almost no people on the street, only Wang's convenience store is still open.Zi Luo looked at the streetlight in front of him and didn't ask any further questions. He could almost guess what Jiang Dezhi said.

The fried chicken shop closed late. Jiang Yu got his wish and ate delicious fried chicken and drank a cup of freshly ground soy milk. There were not many other shops that were open that he wanted to eat. In the end, the two ordered some barbecue.

Jiang Yu stuffed the chicken nuggets into his mouth, and held a piece of meat in front of Zi Luo: "Eat one."

Zi Luo had just ordered and handed the menu to the waiter, when he turned around and saw a golden chicken nugget in front of him, he didn't reach out to pick it up, he just bit into his mouth.

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and the movement of retracting the chopsticks was half a beat too late.

"I'm full—" Jiang Yu rubbed his belly half an hour later, "I'm willing to be fat."

There is still some food left for the barbecue, such as grilled eggplant and mushrooms, and Zi Luo drank the unfinished soy milk: "Let's take a walk to digest food."

There are only a few people in Baihua Street at night, except for the snack street where there are more people, and even fewer people walking towards the park.The two of them walked towards the lake in the park without saying where they were going.

Jiang Yu felt comfortable all over after eating, and the wind was strong at night, but he didn't feel cold.

Zi Luo watched him stretch, and called out, "Jiang Yu."

"Huh?" Jiang Yu responded, and under the moonlight, he found a small stone at his feet, aimed it and threw it at the lake.

There was a soft sound of "dong", and the stone fell into the bottom of the lake.

Zi Luo didn't have anything to say.

Jiang Yu threw another stone and glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Zi Luo looked at the ripples on the lake, and the reflection on the lake shook, "Next time, don't be stubborn, just bear it if you can."

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, and the smile on his mouth faded a little: "I could bear it when I was young, because I was afraid of him when I was young, but now I am not afraid, and I can't bear it gradually."

Zi Luo turned to look at him.

"Sometimes I really don't understand how my dad became like this." Jiang Yu's voice was very soft, "Even if I was hit by my brother Jiang Lai, I am still his son. It's not right for so many years, but I can’t say that he doesn’t hurt me or care about me, but I always feel like I’ve done something wrong.”

Zi Luo kicked the pebbles under his feet, bent down to pick up a few, and threw them to the lake with him.

"Luoluo." Jiang Yu asked, "Do you remember what happened before I was five years old, did my dad treat me like this in those years?"

Zi Luo was silent for a while before saying, "It's very good for you."

It was really good. At that time, Jiang Dezhi was capable, motivated, and smiling at everyone.Whoever is in trouble will run over to help. In those years, he was called a "good old man" by others, and he would lose his temper occasionally, but he would be fine after a while.He was very kind to Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai loved Jiang Yu very much. Jiang Dezhi also cared about Jiang Yu very much. When he got home from work, he went to the supermarket to buy the jelly that Jiang Yu especially liked.

So the reason why Jiang Dezhi's temper changed drastically was because of Jiang Lai's death.

After staying by the lake for a while, the two of them walked home slowly.There is a row of neatly trimmed green leaves on the side of the road. Zi Luo turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to take a picture and said, "It's blooming."

"What flower?"

"Little Daisy."

Jiang Yu looked at the lawn with his light, and he saw a bunch of small and beautiful flowers: "Really, I didn't pay attention to it before, I just focused on the big bright petals at the door."

Zi Luo laughed, bent down and touched the petals of the daisy.

As soon as he entered Baihua Hutong, Jiang Yu became quiet, opened the door furtively, turned his head and said to Zi Luo in a breathy voice, "Good night—"

Zi Luo looked at him: "Rest early."

Jiang Yu didn't go to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, went back to his room and locked the door, opened the drawer and took out the inside, took out the cigarette case and took out one to light in the dark, sitting on the chair and looking at the night scene outside the window.

The moon is quite round and there are many stars. It is estimated that tomorrow will be another sunny day.

A cigarette was extinguished, and the room smelled of smoke. Jiang Yu got up and opened the window.
