Make a wish in Jinzhong fireworks
The "Old Flavor Restaurant" on Shunchengguan Street in Jiexiu always smells of the aroma of braised noodles, and it also hides Xu Jiangzhi's secret - when clearing the table, there will be old scars on the corners of the table, which were caused by being locked in the toilet in junior high school; the light brown marks on the wrists were left by being pushed and hit on the cutting board. He is like a grass wrapped in morning dew, sensitive and fragile, even the gaze of strangers can make his back tighten.
Until one early autumn evening, Jiang Yan, wearing a dark gray coat, pushed open the glass door and said in a warm voice: "I want a bowl of cold noodles with a braised egg."
This person has become a regular customer of the restaurant. He will come to help him plug the leaky roof on heavy rain days. When the scar on his wrist is exposed, he will only ask softly, "Are you suffering from hand injuries?"
Xu Jiangzhi's shadow is slowly dissipating - when his high school classmates laughed at him for being a "mixed restaurant", Jiang Yan would stand in front of him; when his neighbors commented that he was "abnormal", Jiang Yan would hold his hand tightly; when even he felt "useless", Jiang Yan would say, "The braised noodles you make are better than anyone else's".
But when the restaurant was smashed, his parents locked him in his room, and the whole world was saying, "How can men and men do this?", The sunset on the top of Mianshan Mountain was as red as melted sugar. Jiang Yan wiped away his tears with his thumb, his eyes firmer than Xiaguang:
"Jiang Zhi, let's go together to a place where no one can find you."
There was no grand confession, only the long stream of water in the smoke - it was the bowl of cold noodles left for him, the small glazed gourd hidden in his pocket, the person who boiled all his grievances into tenderness.
Purpose: A two-way journey of trauma and redemption: Based on Xu Jiangzhi's long-term bullying trauma from Jiexiu No. 7 To No. 10 Middle school, Jiang Yan's appearance is not a one-way "rescue", but uses patience, respect and companionship to help him break the shackles of "self-denial" - from shrinking and hiding to daring to face up to feelings and face rumors, and finally let the label of "the bullied" no longer define him, showing the power of love to heal psychological trauma.
