Chapter 24

Ma Xudong, Chen Li and Yang Yang watched the surveillance video while eating.Chen Li suddenly pushed the lunch box, paused the surveillance video, and stared at the screen.

Both Ma Xudong and Yang Yang came over.

Chen Li pointed to the screen and said, "Yang Yang, come and stare at this pack of cigarettes, stare at it."

Chen Li rewinds for a few seconds and starts playing again.

Yang Yang called out: "Huh, huh?"

Ma Xudong rubbed his eyes, looked hard, but found nothing unusual, and asked, "What did you find?"

"Put it in again. Look, this pack of cigarettes is the third one. Lu Benchuan refilled it three times, and put it in the same position the last two times. He put it in at the end." Yang Yang pointed. .

Chen Li said: "Yes, there is something wrong with this pack of cigarettes. Look..."

On the surveillance screen, Lu Benchuan put the third pack of cigarettes in his pocket, got out of bed, took out the pack of cigarettes, and slowly opened it.

Chen Li paused.

Chen Li asked: "Did you tear the package from the right or the left?"

Yang Yang said: "The right side, ah, this guy was dismantled from the left side."

Ma Xudong still has some doubts: "What if it is his habit? Send someone to observe. If it is usually torn from the right side, it means that there is something wrong with the third pack of cigarettes. Yang Yang, go and check Lu Benchuan's purchase records, see Look at what he bought in the supermarket this month."

Chen Li suggested: "I think there should be restrictions on the purchase of certain commodities, such as cigarettes, and you can only buy cigarettes that are less than a few yuan."

"This is indeed a problem. You see, those big team leaders and duty prisoners all smoke Zhonghua, which has a bad influence on the criminal group. Erpi asked Lu Benchuan for Zhonghua cigarettes." Yang Yang said.

Ma Xudong was a little embarrassed: "This needs to be regulated at the prison level... Okay, I will write down what you said."

After checking the sanitation, the policeman on duty came to Lu Benchuan and Ji Niu Maer, looked at Lu Benchuan and asked, "Lu Benchuan, have you finished cleaning?"

Lu Benchuan didn't seem to hear it, and Ji Niu Maer hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then he came back to his senses, stood up mechanically, and stood at attention: "Report the police...the criminal Lu Benchuan is...is..."

He really couldn't find a word, so he just stood there in a daze.

The policeman on duty said with a sullen face, "What are you doing? Resting your mind? Taking a nap? In a daze? Go and see for yourself. What's in the innermost urinal?"

Lu Benchuan hurriedly ran into the toilet.

The policeman on duty asked loudly, "What is there?"

Lu Benchuan trotted out, stood at the door of the toilet, and said in a low voice, "Report to the police officer, I, I... finished cleaning, finished... After I finished, I went to the toilet and forgot... forgot to flush... flushed... "

"Re-clean." After the policeman on duty finished speaking, he strode towards the duty room.

Ji Niu Ma Er also walked into the toilet, knelt on the ground and brushed carefully.

Lu Benchuan was a little moved: "Brother..."

Ji Niu Ma Er turned his head to look at him, did not speak, and continued to brush.

Lu Benchuan squatted beside him: "I scrubbed this one, really, it's already very clean..."

"The officer's order is to clean again."

Lu Benchuan stood up, as if thinking of something again, then squatted down and asked, "Did I talk in my sleep last night?"

Ji Niuma didn't even raise his head: "Say it."

Lu Benchuan's heart skipped a beat: "Say...what's the matter?"

"What Huangshi Gong, and what kind of plane."

Lu Benchuan groaned secretly, thinking about how to answer this, but when Ji Niu Maer asked him if he was a Taoist, he secretly delighted, and took the opportunity to say, "What? How do you know that I am a Taoist?"

Ji Niu Maer stopped and smiled: "Huang Shigong. The master of Zhang Liang in the Western Han Dynasty. Huang Shigong tested Zhang Liang three times and awarded the "Sushu". That's me."

"Yeah, Huang Shigong became a fairy...I really want to be a hermit like Huang Shigong." Lu Benchuan was a little emotional, but he didn't expect that Ji Niu Ma Er was so knowledgeable.

Ji Niu Ma Er vigorously scrubbed the urinal again: "Small hermit, the capable; great hermit, the wise; hermit in prison, the benevolent."

Lu Benchuan stared at him, silent.

At this time, Ma Xudong asked Ji Niu Ma Er to play chess with him outside. Ji Niu Ma Er threw down the brush, answered loudly, and ran out.The two lined up on the ground of the playground, and the police on duty also came to watch the battle. After a few rounds, the two sides started a tug-of-war.

Ma Xudong said, "I will jump the horse."

The policeman on duty hurriedly said: "Oh, you can't jump horses. Look, if he moves a car here, your bishop will be finished."

Ma Xudong turned to look at him: "Is it me playing chess or you playing chess?"

"You get off, you get off." The policeman on duty said quickly.

Ma Xudong pointed to the door: "Go, watch over the inspector team for me."

"Okay." The policeman on duty walked towards the door.

Ji Niu Ma Er picked up the car, stared at the chessboard, and said in a low voice, "He was talking in his sleep, he didn't take the Huangshi public plane."

Ma Xudong shouted: "Hey! What are you muttering about? You play chess."

Ji Niu Ma Er played with the chess pieces, lowered his head and stared at the board, and said in a low voice, "Just now, he said he wanted to be a hermit."

Ma Xudong's walkie-talkie rang. He stood up and called Lu Benchuan.Lu Benchuan ran out of the toilet and stood neatly by the door.

Ma Xudong waved to him: "Come here."

Lu Benchuan answered yes loudly, trotted over, faced Ma Xudong and stood at attention.

Ma Xudong pointed to the chessboard: "Help me continue playing, you must win."

Ma Xudong strode out, and said to the walkie-talkie while walking, "I'm Ma Xudong, please speak."

It turned out that the warden Li Changxiong told him to go to the office immediately. Ma Xudong came to Li Changxiong's office, and Li Changxiong made an exception today and poured him a glass of water.

Ma Xudong stared at him: "What do you mean?"

"What's the point of a glass of water?" Li Changxiong said.

"Oh, don't go around in circles, just say it."

Then Li Changxiong said: "I want to transfer you to the Sixth Ward..."

Ma Xudong interrupted him immediately: "You can't adjust me for the time being."

Li Changxiong looked at him, surprised and displeased: "What? Say it again."

"Boss, what I'm talking about is temporarily. I request to stay in the first prison area for one month."

Li Changxiong pulled his face: "No, I will talk to you because of our friendship for many years. Otherwise, I will directly download the document."

"No room for negotiation?"

"No."

"Then tell me, why?"

"I need it for work." Li Changxiong said bluntly.

Ma Xudong thought for a while, and said seriously: "Director Li, I hope you don't adjust me for the time being."

Li Changxiong was stunned: "Oh, you never call me Warden Li, it seems that you are serious? Okay, give me a reason."

"Can I make a phone call?"

Li Changxiong was even more surprised: "Hit, hit."

Ma Xudong got up and closed the door, locked it, and dialed the phone number of Hong Wenling, Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Bureau: "Secretary Hong, I am in Warden Li's office. Warden Li will immediately transfer me to work in another prison area. Yes, good." He handed the phone to To Li Changxiong, "Secretary Hong wants you to answer the phone."

Li Changxiong looked at him and answered the phone hesitantly: "Secretary Hong, I am Li Changxiong."

Hong Wenling said in an orderly tone: "Director Li, you can't adjust Ma Xudong."

Li Changxiong frowned: "Secretary Hong, it's not my personal decision..."

"I understand what you mean. It is the decision of the Party Committee of Qingshuihe Prison, right? Well, I will not interfere with your decision, but the implementation of this decision must be postponed. Otherwise, I will ask the Party Committee of the Bureau to revoke the Party Committee at your level. decision!"

Li Changxiong stammered, "This, this..."

"Listen, today's matter must be kept secret! I'll ask Ma Xudong to tell you the reason." Hong Wenling asked Ma Xudong to answer the phone.

After Ma Xudong put down the phone, Li Changxiong asked, "What's going on?"

"I received the task from Secretary Hong himself, and put my eyes and ears close to Lu Benchuan to closely monitor his every move. As for why Secretary Hong made such an explanation, I don't know."

Only then did Li Changxiong confess, "To be honest, it was He Ju who insisted on me adjusting you."

"I know, you've told me that before."

Li Changxiong pondered: "Could it be related to your surveillance of Lu Benchuan?"

"Maybe."

"So is there any change in Lu Benchuan?"

Ma Xudong said: "Secretary Hong only asked to report to him alone."

Li Changxiong looked at him dissatisfied: "I can't say either."

Ma Xudong said seriously: "Yes, you are the secretary of the party committee. If you want me to report, I will report the same."

Li Changxiong laughed: "Okay, okay, you follow Secretary Hong's instructions. It's just that the funds for the supervision and upgrading project of our prison have been wasted."

"What? He used this to blackmail you?"

"He is the leader, there are a lot of reasons." Li Changxiong sighed.

Ma Xudong smiled and said, "You are not the same. If you say that you need to work, you will kill everyone."

Li Changxiong also smiled.

There is only one class in the afternoon, Xie Xiaowan's eyelids are always twitching today, which disturbs her mind. As long as she calms down, her mind will be full of grandma for a while, and the shadow of her father for a while. She suddenly had a whim and went to the prison to find Yang Yang. Go see dad.After finally getting out of class, I hurried out of the school gate.

Wen Ziping saw her from a distance, and ran over screaming.Xie Xiaowan turned around and ran away as if seeing a plague god.Wen Ziping followed closely and grabbed her.

Xie Xiaowan frowned, and persuaded very unhappy: "Ziping, I want to study with peace of mind, I told you not to come, don't bother me, okay?"

"I'll just say a few words." Wen Ziping said sincerely, "Xiaowan, I like you, I love you, you know that, my mother..."

Xie Xiaowan interrupted him: "I'm not angry with Auntie. When I saw you just now, I was delusional. But, calm down and think about it, Auntie is right. You are a doctoral student, your father is the director, and I What is the situation now? And who is my father? You know it."

Wen Ziping said excitedly and loudly: "I don't care, I don't care!"

Xie Xiaowan looked at him unusually calmly, and said word by word: "But, I care!"

"Don't be too paranoid and independent, okay?"

Xie Xiaowan smiled wryly: "In the past few years, do you know how I got here? As a woman, why don't I want to live the rest of my life like a bird? But, can I?"

Xie Xiaowan turned around and left.

Wen Ziping squatted on the ground, holding his head.

When work was about to end, Yang Yang called Erpi outside the workshop and looked him up and down.Erpi was embarrassed by him, and smiled apologetically.

"Epi, how does it feel to be a leader?"

Erpi said embarrassedly: "Oh, you don't want to make me happy anymore, what kind of leader."

Yang Yang's face darkened: "Your son has just become a leader, so he has become more courageous."

Er Pi waved his hands in panic: "Ah? No."

Yang Yang shouted in a low voice: "Say!"

Erpi lowered his head and stammered, "I, I... I'll bring some cigarettes and snacks for Lu Benchuan, and get some benefits..."

"Is it brought in by the factory technician?"

"Yes. I won't dare in the future. I won't bring anything."

"No, take what they tell you to take."

"Ah? You test me, don't worry, what Er Pi said..." Er Pi opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Yang Yang interrupted him: "Okay, okay, if you tell you to take them, you can take them. Also, hit them hard, and you can enjoy the benefits."

Erpi stared at him suspiciously: "This..."

Yang Yang warned: "However, it is limited to cigarettes and snacks. Also, you have to strictly check everything, pay attention..."

Er Pi made a gesture of listening.

Yang Yang said in a low voice: "Especially the third pack of each cigarette. If you find any clues or contraband, report it to me or the head of the horse supervision department immediately. If we are not there, in an emergency, we will deliberately show our flaws and let others on duty The police found it and confiscated it. Do you understand?"

Erpi smiled openly and nodded again and again: "Understood, I understand."

Yang Yang laughed and said, "Go."

Er Pi walked a few steps, then turned around and turned back.

Yang Yang asked: "What else?"

Erpi asked: "Is this the underground work in the movie?"

Yang Yang raised his hand and hit him, but Erpi dodged and ran away smiling.

Ma Xudong packed his things and was about to leave work. The policeman on duty at the gate called and said that Yang Yang's girlfriend had come to look for him. Ma Xudong was shocked: "Ah? Okay, I see."

Chen Li just walked in, and seeing Ma Xudong's face change, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Ma Xudong quickly said, "It's all right."

Chen Li looked at him suspiciously: "Then you'ah'what'ah'?"

"Where is the 'ah'? There is no 'ah'. By the way, you wait here for Yang Yang, and I will go at the gate." Ma Xudong pretended to look around.

Ma Xudong ran out in a hurry, and Chen Li looked at his back suspiciously.

Ma Xudong hurried to a gate, and the policeman on duty pointed to Xie Xiaowan who was standing not far away.He walked over and asked, "I'm Yang Yang's colleague, are you?"

Xie Xiaowan looked at him and said, "I'm looking for Yang Yang."

Ma Xudong also looked at her: "Then what's your name?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"

Ma Xudong said: "He is on duty tonight, all night, you go back."

"I'm waiting for him here."

Ma Xudong said again: "Girl, really, he told me to inform you, he didn't dare to leave, the inspectors caught him..." Xie Xiaowan waved inside and shouted: "Yang Yang, Yang Yang..."

Ma Xudong looked in, and Yang Yang and Chen Li walked over.

Ma Xudong groaned in frustration,
Yang Yang and Chen Li were surprised when they saw that it was Xie Xiaowan, and they ran over together.Xie Xiaowan went up to meet him: "Yang Yang."

Chen Li asked enthusiastically, "Xiao Wan? Why are you here?"

"Sister Chen Li is here?" Xie Xiaowan was startled.

Yang Yang asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Xiaowan lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid something will happen to my father..." Ma Xudong came over and asked, "What's going on? Who is she?"

Yang Yang said: "She is Xie Xiaowan."

Ma Xudong looked at her again.

Chen Li introduced: "Xiaowan, this is the head of the prison where your father is located, the head of the horse prison."

Xie Xiaowan looked at Ma Xudong, hesitated for a moment, and bowed to him: "Hello, Superintendent Ma."

Ma Xudong said: "Okay. You talk, I'm leaving."

Xie Xiaowan looked at the second door sadly: "Yang Yang, Sister Chen Li, can I go and see my father?"

Chen Li and Yang Yang looked at each other.

Chen Li said: "Xiao Wan, we will arrange it, but tonight..."

Xie Xiaowan turned around and left. Chen Li chased after her and grabbed her: "It's so remote here, and there are no buses anymore. Let's go, I'll take you back."

Xie Xiaowan broke free from her hand and ran forward.

Chen Li looked back at Yang Yang: "You don't want to stop her!"

Yang Yang looked at Chen Li and said incoherently: "I, I..."

Chen Li pushed him and said anxiously, "Go!"

Yang Yang caught up with Xie Xiaowan and grabbed him. She struggled hard, but Yang Yang pulled her hard and walked towards Chen Li's car.Xie Xiaowan stopped struggling and sat in the back row with Yang Yang.

Chen Li drove the car with a sullen face and said nothing.Xie Xiaowan turned her head to the window and said nothing.

Yang Yang pretended to cough: "Say something?"

Chen Li said, "Just tell me."

Yang Yang hesitated for a moment: "I, what are you talking about? Let me tell a joke. A drunk man fell from the third floor, attracting passers-by to watch. A policeman came over and asked: What happened? The drunk man said: I don't know, I just arrived too."

After Yang Yang finished speaking, he laughed loudly. After laughing, he realized that the two of them were not smiling. He looked at them strangely: "Why don't you laugh?"

Chen Li said, "Is it funny?"

The three stopped talking, and the interior of the car was extremely dull.

When they arrived at the place where Yang Yang and Xie Xiaowan rented a house, Chen Li stopped the car, Xie Xiaowan got out of the car, walked a few steps, saw that Yang Yang hadn't got out of the car, and stood there looking this way.

Chen Li urged, "Get out of the car."

Yang Yang said: "I don't want to go back to live, I will move out tomorrow."

Chen Li was silent for a moment, then said rationally: "Go, now that Xie Xiaowan's mood has just stabilized, don't provoke her."

"Then I'll go down."

Chen Li smiled: "Go, go."

Yang Yang got off the car and walked towards Xie Xiaowan.Chen Li looked at their backs, leaned on the steering wheel, let out a long breath, and drove away.

Without Chen Li, Xie Xiaowan seemed to be a different person, chatting and laughing, the two had just reached the stairs when Wen Ziping suddenly flashed out and punched Yang Yang unexpectedly.

Yang Yang was caught off guard and took a few steps back.Wen Ziping screamed strangely and rushed up again, Xie Xiaowan rushed up like crazy, hit Wen Ziping hard with her body, and knocked him to the ground.

Xie Xiaowan yelled at him nervously: "What are you doing?"

Wen Ziping got up and pointed at Yang Yang and her: "Why do you ask me? You live with him!"

Xie Xiaowan yelled angrily: "I just like him, and I'll live with him, what's your business? Go, go away!"

Wen Ziping was so angry that his face changed shape, he turned his head and left.Yang Yang wanted to catch up, but Xie Xiaowan stopped him: "Go, go home."

Yang Yang's nose was bleeding, and he said, "You go back first, I'll go talk to him."

Xie Xiaowan grabbed him firmly: "Look, you're bleeding..."

Yang Yang broke free from her hand, turned around and ran out of the community.Xie Xiaowan also chased him to the gate of the community, saw Yang Yang standing on the side of the street looking around, came over and grabbed Yang Yang: "Go back, let him calm down, I will talk to him another day."

When the two returned to their residence, Xie Xiaowan took out a small first aid kit and poured a basin of warm water to treat the wound on Yang Yang's face. Yang Yang had to do it himself, but Xie Xiaowan pushed him to sit on the sofa.After Xie Xiaowan wiped off the blood, she used a cotton swab dipped in purple lotion to wipe the red and swollen areas on her face.

Xie Xiaowan complained: "Why did Wen Ziping hit so hard?"

"Is it heavy? Little CASE, if I make a move, he might lie down for a few days." Yang Yang laughed.

Xie Xiaowan said, "Then why didn't you fight back?"

"It's all a misunderstanding. By the way, you can get used to it in college."

"good."

Yang Yang asked: "What does it mean? It means not getting used to it." "No."

Yang Yang asked tentatively: "Then... how long will you move back to school?"

Xie Xiaowan asked back: "Why should I move back to live in the school?"

Yang Yang said: "Don't get me wrong, you are a college student now, you should communicate more with your classmates."

"I am not of the same era as them." Xie Xiaowan stopped and stared at him vigilantly, "Aren't you going to drive me away?"

Yang Yang smiled: "This house is not mine, am I qualified to drive you away?"

Xie Xiaowan packed up the potion and cotton swabs, and said in a muffled voice, "It's good to know."

Yang Yang said sincerely and earnestly: "Xiaowan, to be honest, it's not suitable for us to rent together now..."

Xie Xiaowan stopped her movements and remained silent.

Yang Yang observed her expression: "How about I move out?"

Xie Xiaowan's complexion changed, she dropped the cotton swab on the coffee table, stood up, "Whatever you want!"

She walked quickly back to her room and closed the door hard.

After dinner, the criminals walked around the playground either alone or in twos and threes.Lu Benchuan frowned, and walked around the basketball court line alone.

Li Haojian wore the yellow sleeves of "Criminal Supervision Post" and looked around in the middle of the playground flauntingly.He saw Erpi coming down the stairs, and hurried up to meet him: "Brother Erpi, now, on behalf of the committee, I will randomly check your mood. Are you happy or depressed?"

Erpi said casually: "Depressed." But he immediately came back to his senses, took two steps back, and looked at him warily: "Huh? Does your kid have some conspiracy?"

Li Haojian smiled charmingly: "Brother Erpi, I, Li Haojian, have always stood firmly on the same front as you. Okay, let me ask you, are you very depressed?"

Erpi couldn't help laughing, and exaggeratedly said: "It's not the usual depression."

Li Haojian giggled: "Then, which one is not pleasing to your eyes, brother will open up for you."

Lu Benchuan walked over with a heavy heart.

Erpi pointed at Lu Benchuan: "That's him!"

Li Haojian came over and said in a low voice, "Is it possible? He did you a favor."

Er Pi whispered with his ear: "He is a corrupt official, he has money, if he gets it, he will pay more, and we brothers will add two to one and make five, and share it equally."

After Erpi finished speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity to sit on Li Haojian's supervisory chair, ready to watch the fun.Li Haojian stood in front of Lu Benchuan all of a sudden, pointing Lu Benchuan.

Li Haojian scolded: "You son of a bitch, the bitch is walking around here! Walking around, I'm blinded."

Lu Benchuan was depressed, and retorted: "I'll go alone, so what's your business?"

Li Haojian said arrogantly: "It's about our supervision post."

Ji Niu Ma Er came over, Lala Lu Benchuan.

Li Haojian pointed to Ji Niu Ma Er: "Old Niu, it's none of your business."

Ji Niu Ma Er retreated to the side, looked around, looking for Xie Tianming, but the prison uniforms of the criminals were similar, and he had poor eyesight, so he had to run to the old criminals and identify them one by one.

Lu Benchuan said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

"You provoke me, bend your waist and apologize."

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I bend over?"

Li Haojian shouted: "You fucking embezzle so much money from the people, the people will bend your back."

Lu Benchuan snorted: "If you scumbags are the people, then I am the country."

Li Haojian smiled sinisterly: "Fuck your mother! I am the country. You see, the suit I am wearing represents the country!"

Lu Benchuan asked: "The country still curses people?"

Li Haojian raised his fist and pretended to hit people: "The country is going to beat people!" He shouted at the criminals who surrounded him one after another, "You see, he hit me first. Now, I You're welcome too!"

Lu Benchuan was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and made a Taijiquan "hands up gesture" to prepare to receive the move.

Li Haojian laughed and teased: "If you want to put on a pose, brother will accompany you."

He resorted to the Taijiquan "White Crane Spreading Wings" move to resolve it.

The criminals booed aside.

The police on duty ran over, and the criminals dispersed.

The police reprimanded: "What are you doing? Are you trying to coax the prison into making trouble?" Er Pi stood at attention: "Report to the police officer, Lu Benchuan is scolding the head of the supervisory reform team, and Li Haojian is teaching him to abide by the code of conduct."

The policeman asked, "Why did you scold him?"

Li Haojian immediately understood Erpi's intention, and said loudly: "He called me you are so cheap."

The policeman didn't understand: "What? Aren't you Li Haojian?"

"He always calls me by my name. I can only call my name once or twice. If he calls me too many times, he will scold me."

Erpi reported from the side: "Report to the police officer, Lu Benchuan called his name continuously, we sounded like - you - good - cheap, he called Li Haojian a bitch."

The criminals laughed.

The policeman couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a misunderstanding? Lu Benchuan, please apologize."

Lu Benchuan retorted: "I didn't scold him."

The policeman got angry: "You, face the wall and think about your mistakes, three to ten minutes."

Li Haojian carried Lu Benchuan to the wall: "Stand up straight, hold your head high!"

After Li Haojian walked away, Ji Niu Maer walked slowly to Lu Benchuan's side, intentionally or unintentionally reprimanded: "You, didn't I warn you? Refutation is ability, not rebuttal, but wisdom. This For one thing, you have to learn from Xie Tianming."

Lu Benchuan looked up to the sky and sighed.

In fact, Wen Ziping did not go far, squatting on the grass in the community garden, drooping his head and sulking.Qin Huan stood not far away and watched. After Xie Xiaowan and Yang Yang went upstairs, she came over, squatted in front of Wenziping, and looked at him silently.

Wen Ziping raised his head, his eyes clouded with tears.Qin Huan took out a tissue and handed it to him, Wen Ziping stood up, turned around and left.

Qin Huan followed: "Do you want to drink?"

"Go, drink!"

When the two came to the karaoke hall of Jindi Hotel, Qin Huan kept clinking wine glasses with Wen Ziping. Wen Ziping had a drink, and Qin Huan immediately filled him up.Wen Ziping hugged Qin Huan, singing and dancing frantically.

Xie Xiaowan originally didn't plan to come to work tonight, but after a few words with Yang Yang, she felt bored and thought it was better to be realistic and count how much she could earn, so she also came to Jindi Hotel and accidentally saw Wen Ziping and Qin Huan , stood in a corner of the dark place, watching them silently.

Wen Ziping was already drunk, the phone rang, Qin Huan picked up his phone, looked at the number, and said loudly: "Auntie, I'm Qin Huan, Ziping is with me, um, okay, don't worry."

Xie Xiaowan looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock, she turned around and came to the bar, said hello to the manager, and went home.Xie Xiaowan took a few steps out of the gate, Qin Huan also walked out with Wen Ziping supported, Qin Huan hailed a taxi and helped Wen Ziping get into the car.Qin Huan seemed to have spotted Xie Xiaowan, and the moment he got into the car, he purposely looked in Xie Xiaowan's direction.

Qin Huan found a hotel, helped Wen Ziping in, put him on the bed, and walked into the bathroom by himself. After taking a shower, he walked out of the bathroom wearing a towel.Wen Ziping was already sound asleep, Qin Huan smiled sweetly, took off Wen Ziping's clothes, threw away his bath towel, turned to look at the sleeping Wen Ziping, smiled, and hugged him.

At dawn, Qin Huan sat naked on the bed and made a phone call: "Prisoner Ma, I'm asking for leave. Oh, it's like this, Ziping is sick, and I'm staying with him...Wen Ziping is Director Wen's. Son, umm...okay, that's it."

Wen Ziping rubbed his eyes, woke up, turned his head and saw Qin Huan, sat up in fright, found himself naked, and screamed.

Qin Huan yelled in dissatisfaction: "Hey! Hey! What's your name? Are you mistaken? It's me who should be screaming..." She pointed to her nose, "It should be me!"

Wen Ziping stared at him blankly.

Qin Huan hugged Wen Ziping and said coquettishly: "Look at you, you tormented me last night... But, I like it..."

Qin Huan's hand touched Wen Ziping's sensitive area, Wen Ziping pushed her away and was about to get up.Qin Huan dragged him over and pressed him roughly.Wen Ziping was stunned for a moment, turned over and pressed Qin Huan under him...

The first rain of this summer came last night with thunder and lightning, but at dawn, the sky cleared up, and the whole city was bathed all night, washing away the dust around it, making it look clean and fresh.As soon as the sun came out, Qingshui Prison was shrouded in morning light.A group of birds are not very afraid of people, jumping up and down on the row of yellow horned trees at the gate of the prison, chirping non-stop...

Today is Friday, and yesterday evening, Xie Tianming was told that the prison would bring his mother and daughter to meet him tomorrow.It's been six years and Xie Tianming hadn't seen them, and Xie Tianming's heart suddenly became turbulent. Unexpectedly, the thunderstorm raged all night. He was worried that the weather would affect the itinerary to pick up his mother from the prison. He was worried and restless until late at night He quickly closed his eyes, but early in the morning, he woke up.

Originally, Ma Xudong wanted to surprise Xie Tianming, but Chen Li thought that Xie Tianming's psychological problems had not been completely resolved, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the more intense stimulation, so she suggested to inform him in advance so that he could be fully psychologically prepared.

Ma Xudong noticed that his eyes were a little red during roll call, so he asked, "Did you sleep well?"

He nodded respectfully.

Ma Xudong said with concern: "You don't have to go to labor today, just wait in the prison cell. It is estimated that you will arrive at noon. There are still a few hours. Go and sleep for a while. I will call you when they come."

After Xie Tianming had breakfast, he returned to the cell and lay down on the bed for a while. Although he still wanted to sleep, he couldn't fall asleep. His mind was full of images of mother and daughter.

That day Xu Changli took several people with him to find her at Li Wenjun's work unit, and told her straightforwardly that he had to fulfill his support obligations, Qingshui Prison for five years and three months, and give Xie Tianming's mother 3 yuan a month, a total of It is 300 yuan; or divorce, Xie Tianming divides 18900% of the property.Otherwise, Qingshui Prison will sue Tianming to the court tomorrow.

Originally, the unit had already criticized her quite a bit, if she continued to make such a fuss, she would be really notorious, wouldn't it only cost more than 1 yuan?Just give it.So he immediately signed the support agreement, took out the money from the bank, and handed it over to Xu Changli and the others.

Xu Changli immediately reported to Wen Shouwei. Wen Shouwei was very happy and instructed him to arrange for Xie Tianming's mother and daughter to meet him as soon as possible.Originally, the prison planned to arrange this meeting immediately, but Li Wenjun came to the prison again to force Xie Tianming to divorce. Xie Tianming's mental and physical conditions were worrying, so he had to postpone the meeting.

This Thursday afternoon, the Education Department sent two policemen, a man and a woman, to pick up Xie Tianming's mother. Ma Xudong had already

Coordinating with the director of the judicial department in Xie Tianming's hometown, I asked him to help take Xie Tianming's mother to the village that afternoon, and rush back early on Friday morning.Chen Li is in charge of taking Xie Xiaowan to the prison.

When Ma Xudong was talking to Xie Tianming, Pan Jiajie had already been waiting not far away, looking embarrassed.After Ma Xudong instructed Xie Tianming, he asked him, "What's the matter?"

Pan Jiajie said arbitrarily, "Chief Ma, I...I want to see my son too..."

"I made a note of it, but your son's current guardian is Wu Shuangshuang, and her consent is required, so it's not enough for us to work hard, you have to work hard." Ma Xudong said.

"What can I do?" Pan Jiajie was a little puzzled.

"Hey, what should I say? You haven't figured it out yet? There are still 11 years left. In theory, you can go out in five and a half years, right? If you behave well and your sentence is commuted, Wu Shuangshuang sees hope." Ma Xudong blamed Tone said.

Pan Jiajie was pleasantly surprised, but still seemed to doubt Ma Xudong's judgment: "Really?"

Ma Xudong continued to enlighten him and said: "Officers Chen and Officer Yang told me about your family's situation, and I was there when you were interviewed that day. According to my observation and judgment, I don't think Wu Shuangshuang is like the kind of woman who can't stand loneliness. , not the kind of woman who is well-clothed and well-fed. You still don’t understand? If she is really the kind of woman who can’t stand loneliness, how can she wait until now to propose marriage to you? Besides, what does it matter to you if she gets married? The first thing a woman considers is the growth of the child, so as long as it is for the child, she can endure any hardship."

Pan Jiajie struggled to turn his head, and murmured: "It makes sense, it makes sense..."

"Man, I'm not afraid of suffering, but I'm afraid of no hope. You have been in here for six years, and you haven't reduced your sentence by one year. Can she not be desperate? Finding such a woman is a blessing from your previous life, Pan Jiajie. Cherish it , ah!" Ma Xudong patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said earnestly.

Pan Jiajie stood there in a daze, and after a while, he rubbed his hands excitedly as if waking up from a nightmare.

At this time, several other criminals came over and asked Ma Xudong in a hurry, why is only Xie Tianming able to enjoy such treatment?We performed better than him and got more test scores than him. We also wanted the prison to arrange family interviews.

What the prisoners raised was not unreasonable, but Ma Xudong couldn't make any promises to them, so he said, "I will report the problems you reported to the superior."

A prisoner seemed very dissatisfied with his answer, and said insinuatingly, "Do you want our relatives to be brought here for an interview? Just dream. Can we compare with Xie Tianming?"

"Why can't it be compared? Isn't he just the secretary of the county party committee, and I'm one level older than him."

"That's not right, oh, the official university has privileges? This is a prison!"

"Is the prison not part of the government? Just allow other departments to talk about privileges, but not in prisons? What logic? Then Xie Tianming is enjoying privileges now."

……

Ma Xudong's heart skipped a beat. Originally, they had assessed that the prison's arrangement to meet Xie Tianming would affect the mood of the prisoners, but they didn't expect it to be so serious, and they brought it up directly in a public place. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause hidden dangers. But at the moment, they must suppress their aggrieved mood, otherwise something might happen today.Thinking of this, it seems that the only way to suppress it first is to use high-pressure means, so he shouted: "What's wrong? You guys, do you want to rebel? If you have any questions or opinions, you can express them in writing. You are making noise here, do you want to rebel?" Trouble? Huh?!"

The large group of people who were originally surrounded broke up with a huff.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Tianming finally saw his mother and daughter whom he had not seen for six years.

Although in the past few months, Xie Tianming's mood is much better than before, and his physical condition is much better than during the Spring Festival, but compared with when he was "shuanggui", he is still a different person.In the impression of Xie Tianming's mother and daughter, he is still the dignified, calm and wise appearance before, but the mother and daughter left in Xie Tianming's mind are hale and hearty, with quick hands and feet, and the other is innocent and full of love. Vitality; while the mother in front of her was haggard and looked like she was about to die; as for the daughter, the years had already engraved ruthless marks on her face, and she looked much older than his actual age.

The whole family seemed unable to recover for a while, and just looked at each other like this, as if they were trying to search for some memories.Xie Xiaowan was the first to speak, she stepped forward to support Xie Tianming: "Dad, sit down..."

Xie Tianming couldn't stand stably, he swayed a few times, and then sat down with his body steady, holding on to his daughter's hand tightly.

Xie Xiaowan felt some pain in her hands, she couldn't bear to look at her father who was thinking about it day and night, tears welled up in her eyes, she turned around and wiped away the tears quietly.

Xie Tianming's mother stretched out her hand tremblingly, and the three of them held each other tightly, speechless.

"Where's Dad? He..." Xie Tianming asked.

"Grandpa left us a long time ago..."

"..." Xie Tianming's body trembled a few times like a convulsion, his teeth were clenched, his lips moved violently a few times, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead tightly against the three hands.

The old man withdrew his hand, stroked his head, and finally spoke: "I lost weight, I lost weight..."

After a long time, Xie Tianming suddenly raised his head: "Xiao Wan, when did grandpa pass away? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't let Wan'er tell you." The old man said.

"On the day your judgment came down, grandpa..." Xie Xiaowan said in tears, "what can I do if I tell you? Grandpa and grandma sold everything and paid you back...we don't even have the money to bury grandpa , I went to find Li Wenjun, she... woo..."

Xie Tianming's eyes were red, spurting out a burst of anger, but then, the anger was instantly extinguished as if a basin of ice water had been poured on it, and he lowered his eyelids powerlessly, turning into helplessness and grief, and then all emotions were extinguished by sadness Instead, he looked sideways out of the window, his eyes empty and lifeless.

"Child, cry, cry..." The old man caressed Xie Xiaowan lovingly, and then said to Xie Tianming, "At that time, it was really called Tiantian Responsibility. If one of your colleagues didn't send 1000 yuan, I really don't know Can your father rest in peace..."

Xie Tianming suddenly knocked on the table to scold Xie Xiaowan: "Why don't you go to school?"

All Xie Xiaowan's grievances came to her heart at once, and her sobbing turned into a heart-piercing cry.

"Tianming, you can't blame her, because of you, Wan'er almost went crazy." The old man fiddled with Xie Xiaowan's hair, "Look, her hair is much grayer."

Although Xie Xiaowan dyed her hair, there are still strands of white hair at the root.

"Isn't it just a few gray hairs? Don't go to school anymore? When did our Xie family get knocked down by difficulties?" Xie Tianming still lost his temper relentlessly.

Xie Xiaowan suddenly stopped crying, and raised her head high: "Don't I want to go to school? Just a few days after you were arrested, I got a full score on the TOEFL test, and several universities in the United States sent me emails, expressing their invitation to go to them." The intention to study, is it because I don’t want to go to school? If it weren’t for you, I would have graduated with a master’s degree and a doctor’s degree long ago, but what about now? My second dad went out to work and was injured and was paralyzed in bed. My grandma got sick and had no money for treatment. My cousin went out to work before graduating from high school, what do you think I should do? Tell me!"

Xie Tianming lowered his head and remained silent.

"Wan'er, it's hard to come to see your father, so let's not say a few words, ah!" the old man comforted.

Xie Xiaowan said: "Grandma, there are some things we don't want to say. Dad doesn't understand. I have to say it today." She continued to say to Xie Tianming, "Dad, ask yourself, who caused all this? I It seems that you have not seriously thought about it in the past few years, nor have you reflected on it..."

"Father doesn't need you to teach me a lesson." Xie Tianming interrupted her.

"It's not that I'm teaching you, I'm just talking about the facts. It's been six years, and you haven't commuted a day of punishment. It was you who made our family ruined and let us fall into the abyss; it was you who made us see no hope. When grandpa was dying , do you know the last words he gave me? "Don't be like your father, just pick up garbage and go back to your hometown to farm, you will be happier than him!" Grandpa and grandma just pick up garbage to make ends meet, and save money from picking up garbage and selling it. 53.3 yuan to help you pay back the money; Grandpa fell down amidst the sound of firecrackers from the people of the county to celebrate your sentencing; Grandpa..."

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Xie Tianming roared suddenly, and then he slid off the chair, squatting on the ground, holding his head in his hands, his voice became extremely fragile, begging, "Stop it, don't it It's..."

"Father..." Xie Xiaowan also knelt down, hugged him, and cried softly.

Xie Tianming's mother also burst into tears and kept wiping her face with a handkerchief.

Xie Tianming also hugged her, wanting to cry but without tears.

Xie Xiaowan cried for a while, then helped him up and sat on the chair, suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, grandma is right, maybe I shouldn't say these things... Dad, my daughter has returned to school now, and the school has exempted me. I also subsidize my 150 yuan of living expenses every month. My studies are going well. Last week, my teacher mobilized me to take the TOEFL test again. Don’t worry, I will cherish this opportunity.”

Chen Li watched closely in the monitoring room, thinking that their meeting was almost over, so she walked in and suggested, "Grandma, Xiaowan, let's go and see where your father lives and studies, how about?"

The old man said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Xie Tianming and Xie Xiaowan supported the old man one by one, while Chen Li and Ma Xudong led the way and introduced the situation of the prison while walking.

The old man looked at the place where Xie Tianming lived and said, "Tianming, your conditions are much better than our hometown."

"It's also cleaner and tidier than our school apartment." Xie Xiaowan also said.

A trace of guilt flashed across Xie Tianming's heart.

Chen Li took them to visit the library, cultural and sports room and restaurant, and then took them to see the scene of labor reform.

The old man said, "Just sewing clothes? It's not a heavy job, I can do it."

Chen Li said: "Grandma, considering your son's poor health, the prison has arranged for him to raise pigs. He works for more than four hours in the morning and evening every day, feeding feed, cooking water in the kitchen and so on. People sent it to the pig farm."

"Son, your mother is an expert at raising pigs. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." The old man laughed happily.

Xie Xiaowan and Chen Li also laughed.

Xie Tianming forced a smile.

"This is like a family." Chen Li said, "Everyone should be happy and smile. This world will become better. Without family affection, even if we can live for 3000 years, so what? "

"Xiao Chen is extraordinary, every word he speaks is from my heart." Xie Tianming's mother said sincerely.

"Grandma laughed." Chen Li was a little embarrassed.

"Father, Chen Li is the same age as me." Xie Xiaowan said.

"I'm two months older than you, and I'm called sister." Chen Li slapped her lightly and complained, "Grandma, I want to sue, Xiaowan never calls me sister."

"It's not that I don't call you sister, but that I don't think I'm worthy..." Xie Xiaowan said in a low voice.

Xie Tianming felt a pain in his heart when he heard this.

"That's good, I feel relieved that Xiaowan has this sister." The old man said lovingly.

"Call, call me sister." Chen Li glared at Xie Xiaowan.

Xie Xiaowan hesitated for a while, then timidly called "sister".

"That's right."

When Xie Tianming heard the words, a huge wave immediately set off in his heart, he lowered his head even lower, and remained silent.

"Huh?!" Xie Tianming's mother exclaimed.

Following her gaze, Wen Shouwei was walking towards this side with a group of people.

Chen Li and Ma Xudong suddenly became nervous, and Chen Li said to her, "Grandma, what can you tell us?"

The old man ignored her and kept looking at Wen guards and them.

Wen Shouwei also spotted them, walked over quickly, and said hello from afar: "Mother, do you still know me? I am Wen Shouwei."

The old man glanced at him: "I recognize you, aren't you Tianming's classmate?" Then, the old man went straight to a person and looked at him. Suddenly, she grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "That's right. , It’s you, it’s you, I finally found you.”

A group of people looked at Gu Hongcheng strangely.

"Tianming, come here." She waved to Xie Tianming.

Xie Tianming had no choice but to walk over.

"He is your colleague I told you about."

Xie Tianming looked at him, as if he was unwilling to believe it: "Him?"

"Really, I'm not mistaken, we have to thank him!" said the old man.

Xie Tianming couldn't believe that the person who pushed himself to prison actually helped his mother to bury his father, putting filial piety first. Xie Tianming's heart of resistance, which he thought was still strong, suddenly collapsed at this moment.Xie Tianming was at a loss, the past resentment towards him disappeared in an instant, yes, he had no reason to harbor resentment, he was also fulfilling his duties...

The old man called Xie Xiaowan over and bowed deeply to Gu Hongcheng.

Gu Hongcheng quickly helped her up: "Old man, you can't do it..."

Xie Tianming had a puzzled expression, hesitated for a moment, and still bowed slightly to him, but actually it was not like bowing, he just lowered his head slightly.

Gu Hongcheng patted him on the shoulder and said emotionally: "Old Xie, you don't need to thank me, I just reported your father's death to the superior, and the superior instructed that Xie Tianming committed a crime and should not implicate his family. Instruct us to return 1000 yuan from the confiscated cash as your father's funeral expenses. Before his death, the old man sold all his things to pay you back, and sent all the money he collected and sold to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He said, pay an extra penny. It can alleviate your crime a little. What a good old man! The court gave a light sentence, which contains your father's kind and dear father's love, and it is your parents' actions that infected every one of us who handle the case."

Xie Tianming seemed to be whimpering a little, and wanted to say something, but he seemed to be holding back his words.

Gu Hongcheng went on to say: "Actually, you are not alone. We are all concerned about you and everyone here. Your old classmate Wen Guard is also your old subordinate. It can be said that you are always thinking about you. Prison leaders, policemen You guys, which one doesn't care about you anymore? Lao Xie, if you say something unpleasant, it's time to wake up. Fifteen years is not a long time, but how many 15 years are there in life?"

Xie Tianming's expression that was still very touched just now suddenly became a little indifferent. He cast his eyes on the blue sky, looking aloof, and after a long time, he lowered his head and gave a long sigh, bowed to his mother, and said vaguely: "Mom... I was wrong... I was wrong..."

The old man took his hand: "How can there be a son who doesn't make mistakes? Change it, you are still a good son of mother."

"Daughter, Dad hurt you, I'm sorry..." Xie Tianming said to Xie Xiaowan again.

All the grievances, resentment, bitterness and humiliation of the past disappeared in the air of her father's apology. Xie Xiaowan couldn't hold back anymore, she threw herself into her father's arms, and burst into tears.

Although Xie Tianming had a crying expression, he hugged his mother and daughter for a long time without tears.

At this time, Ma Xudong's walkie-talkie rang: "Call Supervisor Ma, please answer."

Ma Xudong walked aside and said, "Got it, please tell me."

"Dozens of criminals refused to work at the labor site and asked to see the warden. Please hurry to the workshop."

Ma Xudong was taken aback and was about to report to Li Changxiong. Li Changxiong also received a report from the walkie-talkie. Inmates in several other prison districts also refused to work and asked to see the warden.

Guard Wen frowned and looked at them dissatisfied. The meaning couldn't be more clear. What happened to Qingshui Prison?
