Chapter 18

Before school started, Papa Jiang and Xiaohua rented two houses near the No. [-] Middle School of the County, one for Xiaohua, one for Papa Jiang and Xiaohu.In order to keep Dad Jiang from being bored, Xiao Hua went with him to wholesale some small things such as book covers, paper, pens, notebooks, stationery, etc., and rented a small shop in front of the school. There were not many things, and Xiao Hua organized them very regularly. It also marks that Father Jiang only needs to watch at the door to collect the money.

If Xiaohua doesn't want to make money, she just wants to keep Papa Jiang busy.Xiaohu was also sent to an elementary school in the county town, bought furniture and kitchen utensils... and the family built a home for themselves in the county town.

Xiaohua started school in the third year of junior high school, and Jiang's father decided to change Xiaohua's name while changing schools.After getting along with several friends for such a long time, he felt that the name he gave his daughter was a bit inappropriate. He originally thought that Xiao Hua had changed his name to Li Luo because of his memory, so he planned to call her Jiang Luo, but Xiao Hua thought about it and refused. , Compared with the word Luo, she really likes the rustic name of Xiaohua.But I also knew that this name was inappropriate, so after discussing with my father, Jiang Xiaohua became Jiang Xiaohua, and the name Xiaohua would be her nickname from now on.

In the third year of junior high school, I have to study by myself in the evening, Xiaohua, no, Jiang Xiaohua, Jiang Xiaohua felt that he didn't have enough time, so he went through the transfer procedures and signed up, so he asked the head teacher to ask for a self-study exemption.Jiang Xiaohua's school for his children had always been among the best in the county because of the quality of teachers and other reasons, and Jiang Xiaohua had the No.1 report card, so the head teacher easily agreed...

The students in the third grade of junior high school, especially the children in such small counties, the students in the fast class study very hard, and there is no extra entertainment, all of them are immersed in studying hard.Jiang Xiaohua's independent walk did not attract any special attention. Jiang Xiaohua still went for morning jogging and Tai Chi with Xiaohu every day. When Xiaohu continued to train, Jiang Xiaohua went to make medicine for his father, and Jiang's father went to the morning market to buy vegetables and breakfast... at noon Sometimes Jiang Xiaohua goes home to make a meal, sends it to Papa Jiang, helps him look at the shop for a while, waits for Papa Jiang to finish eating, then goes home, packs up and goes to school, also at night, at eight or nine o'clock, Papa Jiang's small The store was closed, and the family gathered around the table in Jiang's father's big room, chatting about their daily lives. Jiang Xiaohua guided Xiaohu's study, and he hurriedly wrote the rest of his homework. After Xiaohu fell asleep at ten o'clock , Jiang Xiaohua gave Dad Jiang an injection, and after that, he went back to his room to practice calligraphy for a while, and read recipes or medical books.One day life just let it go.

Jiang Xiaohua was also very quiet at school, reading quietly, and now the two red faces have gradually faded with the help of Grandpa Zhao, leaving only two dough balls, Jiang Xiaohua insisted on going to the bathhouse every two days to take a bath, and Let Jiang's father also take Xiaohu and her to go the next day, the clothes were washed and dried quietly on the weekend, and the slightly long hair was tied into a ponytail behind his head.A quiet, beautiful girl who always looks fresh and clean is so different. In the first three years of junior high school, she left a deep mark on many people's hearts.

The first grade in each monthly exam is also very noticeable. Many students asked Jiang Xiaohua if he hired someone to take tutoring. She is a friend of mine, but the whole class gets along very well with her.

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Xiaohua got the first place in the senior high school entrance examination and was admitted to the high school of our school.

This year, Jiang's father seemed very peaceful. Jiang Xiaohua's daily diet therapy was never interrupted. Seeing the fruits of his daughter's hard work, Jiang's father always smiled and ate them all.Under Jiang Xiaohua's repeated questioning secretly, the doctor also confided the truth. The condition did develop a little bit, but so far it seems that it is not very serious. The family is taking good care of it, but the patient's desire to survive is not strong.

"The desire to survive is not strong! The desire to survive is not strong!..." Jiang Xiaohua came out of the hospital with only this sentence in his mind. Why doesn't Dad have the desire to survive? Is there anything he can't do well?

Jiang Xiaohua thought back to himself, he was very good, and Xiaohu was also very good...but why didn't his father want to stay with them?why
After Jiang Xiaohua suffered a lot outside, he went home and observed his father carefully. Finally, he found the answer at the door of the small stationery store.

One day, Jiang Xiaohua returned home after delivering the meal to his father, and suddenly remembered that the ink was almost out, and then went back to get a bottle from the store, when he suddenly heard his father chatting with the owner who bought food next door.

"Master Jiang, that was your daughter just now, right? You are so lucky, your daughter brings you delicious food every day." The boss who bought food said.

"Hehe! My daughter doesn't like me eating outside." Father Jiang replied.

"It's really capable! I heard that I did it myself! I heard that you are also very good at studying at a young age. How did you educate yourself?"

"Hey~ I'm not educated, it's fine if I don't drag the child down. Seeing her so busy all day long, but I, a father, can't help, I really feel bad."

"You! You don't know the blessings in the blessings. With such a good daughter, the child should be happy if he has filial piety and adversity?"

"I just feel that I can't help, and I am ashamed of the child. If it weren't for a family like mine, maybe she would have a good future?"

……

Jiang Xiaohua didn't listen to the rest of the words, and ran away covering his mouth. It turned out that he was too capable, so his father didn't want to delay him, and felt that he was delaying himself... It turned out that everything was on him. , I have something to do with Xiaohu, I can't let him be so relieved, I must... must... must let my father live.

The graduating class had a holiday early, and when Xiaohu also had a holiday, Jiang Xiaohua didn't think of any good solution.You can't make Dad sad, but also make him worry... This speed is really difficult to control.

After the holiday, Father Jiang closed the small stationery store, and the three of them returned to their hometown.

Today's summer vacation, without the workers from the arsenal, Jiang Xiaohua's villages welcomed a large number of soldiers for training, because after the arsenal moved out, some depressed villages seemed to be full of life again.

Xiaohu and the children in the village followed the soldiers all day long, running up and down the mountains, Jiang Xiaohua thought it was safe, boys should be lively, and besides, every boy seemed to have a green military camp dream, so it was not too much. care.Until one day, Jiang Xiaohua was drying the washed bedspreads and sheets in the yard.

Suddenly someone asked at the door: "Is this Jiang Xiaohua's home?"

Jiang Xiaohua lifted the sheet that was blocking his view, and replied, "Yes! Who are you looking for?"

The person who came was a young soldier wearing camouflage, and there were a few dirt marks on his face that seemed to be wiped on purpose.As soon as the man saw Jiang Xiaohua.Dazed for a while, she smiled and showed her eight teeth, and asked, "Are you Jiang Xiaohua?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, and looked at him sprained and dirty again, so he pointed to the hot water for Xiaohu in the yard, and said, "Do you want to wash it?"

The man didn't refuse, he stepped forward to take the soap Jiang Xiaohua handed him, squatted on the ground and washed his face.

After he finished washing, Jiang Xiaohua looked at him, and a memory buried deep in his heart was dug out.

It was not long after she arrived at Li's house. Because of her shy nature and her poor Mandarin, she was even more ashamed to speak.

"I heard that you used to be called telling jokes. Are your parents especially good at telling jokes? That's why they gave you this name?"

"No, no! I heard that country people like sons. Did your mother give birth to you, and you thought you were a joke, so you called you Jiang's joke?"

"..."

Hearing the malicious ridicule of the children in the compound, Jiang Xiaohua was very angry at the time, but she was born cowardly, so she just retorted in a low voice: "It's a flower, the size is small..."

"What did you say? You can't talk, can you?"

"Haha! It turned out to be a mute!"

"Mingyu's house has a dumb lady..."

At this moment, a nice voice suddenly came: "What are you talking about? Bullying girls! Is this what you are capable of?"

The visitor scolded Jiang Xiaohua, and those who bullied Jiang Xiaohua left. The person took out a handkerchief and wiped Xiaohua's tears. Only then did Xiaohua see the first big brother who showed kindness to her after arriving at Li's house...

It's just that this big brother rarely appeared in Xiaohua's memory, until after she fell in love with Su Tianzhe, she accidentally learned that he was training with the army in the summer of her second year of junior high school. A drowning child was sacrificed.

"Jiang Xiaohua! Jiang Xiaohua?" Hearing someone calling him suddenly, Jiang Xiaohua came back to his senses, looked at his elder brother who had been cleaned up and was full of energy, and smiled at him.

"Jiang Xiaohua, my name is Lin Haoxuan. When I called home a few days ago, Grandpa Li was at our house. He heard that I was training here. Let me come and see you and see if there is anything else you need to help with?" Lin Haoxuan saw that she didn't have any special reaction, and then explained: "Grandpa Li is the father of your biological father Li Xiangyang, and also your grandfather."

Jiang Xiaohua took the towel from his hand and said, "I'm fine, I don't need any help." He thought to himself: Did something happen that day?have to think about it...

"That... that... Grandpa Li also cares about you..." Lin Haoxuan didn't know what to do when he saw Xiaohua's indifference. He had heard from his grandfather that Uncle Li had an ex-wife before, and he also had a daughter two days ago. At that time, I was taken aback and felt incredible!
What day is it?I remember that it was probably the landlord’s little Aaron’s birthday, and I and Su Tianzhe also participated. Later, when I went home, Su Tianzhe said: Ten years ago, my cousin Lin Haoxuan died, so I don’t like this day... It seems that that day is August... Ah... That's right... That's right... It's the day after the Army Day, which is August [-]rd... I finally remembered!The most famous place where you can drown here is near the place where Dad and the others used to fish. Go there on August [-]rd to see if you can help!I also need to call my dad, my dad is good at water...hehe...it's so good to remember...
