Wedge
Bamboo horse, meaning a man and a woman who have been close since childhood.
When Jiang Zhi just started going through the dictionary, the first thing she saw was this word, but she had a little doubt, the adults said that she and Lin Zheng were childhood sweethearts, but their situation was a little bit, oh no, it was a big difference from the explanation in the dictionary ah! In terms of intimacy alone, they were far from it, she and Lin Zheng had practically grown up diabolizing each other and hated to die with each other. The two had an old grudge that went back a long time.
Lin Zheng's father and Jiang Zhi's father were in elementary school, middle school and university together, working in the same unit, and later was assigned to the same neighborhood, almost mutually involved in each other's half-life, so the two have also become life brothers. Because of this relationship, Lin Zheng's mom and Jiang Zhi's mom have also become bosom friends, and the two families have a very cordial relationship.
When Jiang Zhi was still in her mother's womb, Lin Zheng's mother pointed to Jiang Zhi's mother's bulging abdomen and said to Lin Zheng: "Zheng, when auntie gives birth to your sister, will she make you a daughter-in-law?" The two-year-old Lin Zheng didn't know the true meaning of the word "daughter-in-law" yet, but only vaguely knew that it was probably the way mom treats dad, and if that was the case, it was pretty good.
After Jiang Zhi was born, Lin Zheng followed his mother to the hospital to visit, he trotted to the cradle, eager to see his daughter-in-law's appearance, when he saw the wrinkled baby in the quilt like a little old man, Lin Zheng's pink face showed the most complex expression since he was two years old, he decided, do not want this daughter-in-law.

Jiang Zhi grew up a little bit, slowly shed the wrinkled mold when he was born, became white and tender, clear and elegant eyebrows began to show, Jiang parents Jiang mother is too precious to ask for the stars do not dare to give the moon.
Jiang Ma often carries her to various homes, the most frequent of course is still Lin Zheng's home.
Jiang Ma often carries her to all the houses, and the most frequent is of course Lin Zheng's house. Every time, Lin Ma is very happy, she has always wanted to have a daughter again, but unfortunately, when she gave birth to Lin Zheng, the doctor suggested that it would be best not to regenerate, which has become a regret in the heart of Lin Ma, in the aftermath of the birth of Jiang Zhi, she has put all the enthusiasm of loving daughters into Jiang Zhi, since she was a little girl, half of Jiang Zhi's clothes and shoes are from Lin Ma's hand.
When Jiang Zhi went to be a guest, Jiang Ma brought out all the good things in the house for her and greeted Lin Zheng:
"Zheng, take your sister to your room to play!"
Without the need for Lin Zheng to come out, Jiang Zhi herself lightly ran to Lin Zheng's room, while the two adults stayed in the living room and exchanged parenting tips.
Lin Zheng's venomous nature can be seen from his childhood, his impression of Jiang Zhi has always been stuck in infancy, even though Jiang Zhi had already grown into a cute and lovely appearance, and softly called him brother, Lin Zheng still could not get rid of the ugly appearance of her when she was born, and he disliked her more than anything else.
He took out toys and books and gave them to Jiang Zhi, and then continued to work on the jigsaw puzzle under his hands. Jiang Zhi was bored, so she jumped on the floor, and because she was too small to walk well, she accidentally fell on the floor, and pouted and watered, and did not want to see her pouting, but Lin Zheng did not even raise his head, and said calmly:
"Fat girl, don't make a pit for the floor. "
Jiang Zhi opened her mouth, blinked her eyes for a moment, and held back her tears in a raw manner, she felt strange, why did her brother care about the floor instead of her? She quieted down and obediently sat next to Lin Zheng, blinking her big eyes at this dedicated little brother, she felt that her brother Lin Zheng was so good looking, better looking than any other little boy in the neighborhood, so she smiled, caught off guard, baring a spit mark on Lin Zheng's little face, Lin Zheng froze, then jumped up as if he stepped on a landmine, vigorously wiping his face with his sleeve, his expression twisted.
"That's disgusting, little fat sister, don't ever get your halitosis on my face again!"
Jiang Zhi looked at Lin Zheng's disgusted expression and finally couldn't help herself, crying with a wow.

When asked which child in the neighborhood is the most carefree, the parents' answer was unanimous: "That kid from the Lin family!" That kid knows his stuff!
In the class is the class president, all the students around him; good grades, polite, the teacher treats him as a treasure; see people do not show timidity, good behavior shouting uncle and auntie, even in the supermarket pork seller's mom said: "Lin family that boy, good boy ah!"
However, in Jiang Zhi's eyes, these are all appearances, used to cover up his bad nature.
As he grew older, Lin Zheng's poisonous tongue power didn't half fade away, but instead showed signs of intensifying, favoring the fact that there was only one target of his attack, which was Jiang Zhi. As long as he saw Jiang Zhi, immediately changed in front of others polite image, Jiang Zhi from head to toe damage to nothing, and every time without repetition. And Jiang Zhi is no longer like a child as only wailed and cried, learned the articulate counterattack, even if the fight is not his opponent, the momentum can not lose.
Many years later, Jiang Zhi thought that she never lost a fight with others and should really thank Lin Zheng for sharpening her skills.
When she was a child, Jiang Zhi was a naughty little girl who couldn't stay idle for a moment. There is a loquat tree in the neighborhood, whenever the loquat season is ripe, Jiang Zhi is always the first to climb to the tree to pick fruit, slightly rounded body is extremely flexible, a few efforts to the top of the tree, joyfully picked yellow loquat, with the hem of the clothes pocket, was about to go down, it was just Lin Zheng came back from school and saw the little man on the tree, opened and said:
"The trunk will be crushed by you, but I'm not sure if I can do anything about it. The tree trunk will be crushed by you, meat pier!"
Jiang Zhi gave him a fierce blank look and said indignantly, "None of your business!"
Jiang Zhi is playful and active, every day's homework has to be under the strict supervision of Jiang Dad and Jiang Mom can barely complete, in order to let her be able to take the initiative, obediently complete the homework, Jiang Dad decided to send her to the Lin family with Lin Zheng, such a good role model in the vicinity of the belief that Jiang Zhi will certainly be able to develop good habits.
Lin's mother was naturally very willing to do so, and took out various colors of fruits, carefully cut them up and arranged them on a plate, and sent them to her room, and instructed Jiang Zhi:
"Zhi Zhi ah, eat as much as you want, play as much as you want, like your own home!"
Jiang Zhi sweetly replied, "Thank you auntie, auntie you are so nice!"
Mother Lin smiled like a flower and turned her head to her son who had been left out to dry for half a day and said, "Take care of your sister!"
Saying that, she walked out, Lin Zheng snorted at his mom's back, hmmm, who is the real one!
Lin Zheng was a dutiful and good teacher, treating Jiang Zhi very strictly. Jiang Zhi was not concentrating, she was writing and looking at the ceiling, Lin Zheng found out and gave her a hard chestnut, Jiang Zhi's forehead immediately turned red, she covered her sore forehead and screamed at Lin Zheng, "What are you doing? It hurts!"
Lin Zheng calmly pointed to her homework book, "Writing homework."
Jiang Zhi pouted and picked up her pen, she felt that Lin Zheng was really mean, even meaner than her old lady homeroom teacher. After writing obediently for a while, Jiang Zhi couldn't sit still again, she tugged on Lin Zheng's sleeve, "Lin Zheng ah, let's chat!"
Lin Zheng ignored, Jiang Zhi talked to herself, from her witch class teacher to her classmate who cut a dog's head today, she had a lot of words, and when she got to the funny part, she giggled out loud.
Lin Zheng looked at her, the setting sun shone on her little pink face, her thick eyelashes casting small shadows on her face, he didn't want to force her to do her homework anymore, her glowing and chattering appearance was really cute!

Time passed, and the loquat trees in the yard turned green and yellow, bearing several crops of fruit.
Jiang Zhi has stepped into middle school, her figure began to draw stripes, no longer the roundness of the young, become slender and slender, eyebrows and eyes clear, has emerged into a pavilion of young girls.
What about Lin Zheng, whose stature has grown wildly in the past few years, pulling up like a knuckle, bracing like a small poplar, with his face becoming more and more angular, and his grades excellent, he has become the one who blushes when the girls mention him.
Lin Zheng's changes Jiang Zhi also saw in her eyes, she knew he was good-looking. She didn't know when it started, but when she saw Lin Zheng she would become a little unnatural, a little nervous, and even her heart would beat faster, always wanting to let him see her at her best.
But Lin Zheng was still like a child, when she met him, he either called her a little fat girl or tugged on her pigtails, and whenever this happened, Jiang Zhi's little bit of teenage love also vanished. She wanted to break her head and could not understand, Lin Zheng in front of other people calm and generous, gentle and polite, how to treat her like a little boy who has not grown up.
One morning, Jiang Zhi was reading early in her class, when there was a sudden noise in her class, she looked up and saw Lin Zheng standing at the entrance of their class, the girls in her class were both excited and shy, exclaiming in whispers, "It's Lin Zheng yeah!"
She was wondering why he was here when she heard Lin Zheng shouting in her direction at a volume that was not too loud but could be heard by everyone, "Fatty, Auntie asked me to bring you milk!"
The class burst into laughter, and Jiang Zhi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground, now the whole class knew her nickname, and her reputation would be ruined on the word "Fatty".
She walked out of her seat in full view of everyone, took the milk from Lin Zheng's hand, and glared at him as she went back to her seat, but Lin Zheng didn't care, and walked back to the class with a leisurely square step. Jiang Zhi thought, she's going to kill this guy!
After school, Jiang Zhi chased after Lin Zheng and beat him up, saying as she did so: "I told you to call me a fat sister! Make a fool out of me! Don't ever call me that again!"
Lin Zheng used his schoolbag to fend off her attacks and said with a smile, "Then what do I call you? Name one and I'll call you what you say."
Jiang Zhi stopped her hand, "Whatever, anyway, you can't call me fat sister again or I won't spare you!"
Lin Zheng said with amusement, "I've been calling you that since I was a kid, I'm used to it, I can't change it even if you're skinny as a monkey."
"You!" Jiang Zhi jumped to her feet.
Lin Zheng was busy waving his hand and said in a peaceful manner, "Okay, okay, I won't call you fat sister."
Touching his chin, as if pondering, he slowly said after a while, "Then ...... call you Meat Tun! Hahaha!" Said even ran forward.
The tricked Jiang Zhi chased after him, so angry that he shouted, "Lin Zheng you big man!"
The whole way back home in a fight.

Jiang Zhi's math test was very bad in the final exams, she was extremely depressed, and her appointment with her classmates to go to summer camp during the holidays was also put on hold, but she just stayed at home and kept on doing the problems, but unfortunately the math was just like a pair of problems with her, and how hard she tried to think, but also had no idea, and Jiang Zhi became even more depressed.
It so happened that one night Lin Zheng was entrusted by his mother to send a baked cake to Jiang Zhi's family, and when he was chatting with Jiang's parents, he learned that Jiang Zhi had lost the exam, and that she did not think about it, did not want to eat, and was unable to sleep at night, vowing that she would try to regain her strength in the next exam. He thought it was funny, this girl's whim really can't be persuaded by anyone.
Knocking on the door of Jiang Zhi's room, Lin Zheng walked to the desk, picked up the problem set on the table, flipped through it for a while and said casually, "You're using this problem set for arithmetic, right!"
Knowing that there was nothing good coming out of this guy's mouth, Jiang Zhi put up with it, after all, she was still begging him.
Lin Zheng ordered, "Bring me your exam papers!"
Jiang Zhi obediently took it out and handed it to him.
Lin Zheng looked at the several papers back and forth for half a day, and continued to unleash his mouth cannon skills, "Yo, those who don't know would think you answered the questions with your toes!"
Jiang Zhi finally couldn't help herself and shouted in exasperation, "Lin Zheng!"
Lin Zheng waved his hand and gestured for her to sit down, "Alright, alright, for the sake of my uncles and aunts, I'll condescend to you, starting tomorrow, I'll give you remedial lessons!"
Jiang Zhi froze and said skeptically, "You would be so kind?" .
Lin Zheng busily said, "Of course not! I said it's for the sake of my uncle and aunt, you've been moping around all day, causing them to worry as well, I can't stand to see it, you say you, why are you so unintelligent!"
After Lin Zheng mentioned it, Jiang Zhi also felt embarrassed, so, just believe him for once.
Lin Zheng did what he said he would do, and came to Jiang Zhi's tuition on time every day, without fail. Jiang Zhi found that Lin Zheng has his own way of learning, and she never knew that he was so serious when he lectured, showing Jiang Zhi a patience and care that she had never seen before. For the first time, Jiang Zhi felt that this guy was quite reliable!
Lunch Lin Zheng naturally ate at Jiang Zhi's house, Jiang Zhi's mom was so happy because Lin Zheng was giving her daughter tuition, that she changed her style of cooking every day, fearing that Lin Zheng wouldn't be accustomed to eating.
In this way, Jiang Zhi's vacation tuition officially began, calculated that she still earned, this tuition teacher is very two brushes, Jiang Zhi a lot of previous half-understanding of the things in his explanation to solve, and he does not charge, as long as a lunch every day will be enough, the sale of this business is not a loss.
Every evening, Lin Zheng would also take Jiang Zhi out for a walk, sometimes to watch the activity center's big mothers dancing and comment on who danced the best; sometimes to go to the nearby snack street to eat, and for who to pay for the argument of the ear; sometimes Lin Zheng would ride a bicycle carrying Jiang Zhi to run all over the street.
All in all, it was a carefree time, and even after many years, both Lin Zheng and Jiang Zhi fondly remember that time.

Holidays always fly by, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhi started school.
Because of the "recharging" during the vacation, Jiang Zhi was able to cope with the heavy homework. Moreover, she realized that she had unconsciously applied Lin Zheng's way of thinking when solving problems.
It turned out that some things had long been ingrained.
Jiang Zhi's heart was elated, the simple and ignorant sentiments of youth, as if this, would create a thousand connections with that person.
One weekend morning, Jiang Dad and Jiang Mom both went to work, leaving Jiang Zhi alone in the house, she had to go out to buy breakfast.
At the breakfast stall, she happened to meet Lin Zheng, and the two of them walked back together.
Jiang Zhi took the doughnuts and ate them as she walked, Lin Zheng swept her a glance, "Can you go home and eat them, get your hands full of oil, it's dirty."
"I'm hungry!"
Jiang Zhi continued to eat. Lin Zheng no longer cared about her.
Jiang Zhi bit into the doughnut and casually asked, "You're going to take the college entrance exam soon, right?"
Lin Zheng nodded and replied, "There will be no vacation after this semester."
Jiang Zhi let out an oh and asked, "Have you figured out which school to apply for?"
Lin Zheng replied, "I've thought about it long ago, it's not University Q!"
"Yo, so confident!"
Lin Zheng's voice carried the recklessness and spontaneity of a teenager: "Strength is the support of confidence!"
Jiang Zhi gave a cut and said in a low voice: "When you go to University Q, you'll be far from home, and it won't be so easy to see you again in the future."
Lin Zheng smiled wistfully, "What, can't bear to part with me?"
Jiang Zhi gave him a blank look and said disdainfully, "Who can't bear to see you go, I can't wait for you to be far away from me, I'm just worried about who I'm going to ask in the future when I don't understand what I'm studying!"
Lin Zheng didn't bother with her and patted her head, comforting her, "What are you worried about, I'll be back on weekends as usual, besides, we can chat online during the week, just like now!"
Jiang Zhi did not say anything, to the door of the house, the two said goodbye, Jiang Zhi rubbed her hand on Lin Zheng's front lapel, and then patted him on the shoulder: "See you later!" Then she bounced back home.
Lin Zheng was wondering, looking down, his snow-white T-shirt suddenly had a few more oily fingerprints on it, and he gritted his teeth towards Jiang Zhi's back, "Fat sister, you wait for me!"

Lin Zheng was in his third year of high school, he became very busy, every day evening self-study until 11:00 p.m., Jiang Zhi had not been home with him for a long time.
Even on weekends, Lin Zheng no longer came to find Jiang Zhi to gossip, and Jiang Zhi didn't dare to bother him.
Sometimes when they bumped into each other at school, Lin Zheng would smile and say to her, "Fatty, I'll treat you to lunch today!"
The so-called treat was just a meal in the cafeteria, the two of them played a good meal and found a place to sit down and eat, perhaps because the schoolwork was too heavy, Lin Zheng lost a lot of weight, and the angles on his face were more obvious, Jiang Zhi gave him a large piece of meat on his plate, "Eat more, Auntie was still chanting that you've lost weight a few days ago."
Lin Zheng grinned, "When did little fat sister become so understanding."
Jiang Zhi sighed, "I told you not to call me that."
One Friday, school was over, Jiang Zhi waited for Lin Zheng at the school gate, there were no evening classes for senior three today, at noon Lin Zheng specially told Jiang Zhi to go home together after school.
Students were bustling out of their classes, Jiang Zhi waited for a while, and saw Lin Zheng, not only Lin Zheng, walking beside him, there was a girl, pretty, looking very eloquent.
The two were talking and laughing, the girl raised her head from time to time, with a restrained shyness and delight. (Novel name:《青梅不待竹马来》,Author:plutohT. from:Read some stories every day to see more wonderful content)
