Chapter XVII: Prison Visits

Coming out of Luo Dahai's office, Zhang Yunqi was a little surprised when he saw Li Yufei and Zhao Yingying in the corridor, saying that you haven't gone back yet?

Li Yufei smiled and said, "Wait for you, we plan to go to No. 6 Middle School to eat, will you go?"

Liu Zicheng's face became a little ugly, Zhang Yunqi thought that the eldest brother was still waiting for him at the eldest sister's house, and said apologetically: "I still have something, next time." ”

This is probably the first time Li Yufei has been rejected by a boy, Zhao Yingying next to her opened her mouth in surprise, Li Yufei's face did not change much, she nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

On the way out of the office building, Zhang Yunqi felt that Li Yufei had become a lot colder, but he didn't care, broke up with them at the school gate, and went back to the eldest sister's house directly.

Zhang Yunfeng has been staying at the eldest sister's house for a long time, and he has not stopped, he stuffed 600 yuan for the eldest sister, and the eldest sister pushed back vigorously, Zhang Yunfeng put the money on the table, saying that the money was for my nephew, and then left with Zhang Yunqi.

When he went downstairs, he smiled and said to his brother, "Let's go, let's go to the clothing market first and buy you a few clothes before we go home." ”

The Zhang family did not have a tradition of buying clothes before, most of the time, Zhang Yunqi wore Zhang Yunfeng's leftover old clothes, but the rough man was thick and fine, Zhang Yunfeng thought that his younger brother was about to go to the city to study, and if he wore shabby clothes, he would be looked down upon by his classmates.

The brothers came to the clothing market in the city, Zhang Yunqi bought himself two white shirts, two black pants, two pairs of white rubber shoes, he didn't pay much attention to it, there was a change of washing, and then he bought two sets of clothes and shoes for the fourth and fifth children in the family, he and the eldest brother didn't know what size the two younger sisters were wearing, so they roughly estimated according to their height, and bought the big one, anyway, the child grew up fast.

After buying clothes, Zhang Yunqi found a barber shop to cut his hair.

In the early 90s, boys were either bare and flat-headed, or pot lids, and the fashionable ones had big long hair, and made them into middle or three-seven open, which was the kind of hairstyle that Aaron Kwok had when he was young, which did not enter Zhang Yunqi's eyes, he asked the barber to shave the hair on both sides as short as a board inch, and the top of the middle was slightly longer, and finally blew it into a fluffy shape with a hair dryer, and the whole person immediately looked clean and energetic.

After cutting his hair, Zhang Yunqi went to Xinhua Bookstore again.

He wants to buy some business books and reform and other materials, in such a big era, if you want to make a fortune, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of this content, after all, in the 40 years of China's reform and opening up, there are too many detours, and there are too many opportunities in it.

To give a simple example, what were the reasons for the inefficiency of state-owned enterprises in the 90s?

Thirty years later, almost all people who have studied economics can easily recite the words written by Nobel laureate economist Coase in 1959: "Clearly defined property rights are the prerequisite for market transactions." ”

Therefore, the core of the reform of state-owned enterprises is the reform of the property rights system.

However, from the reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that began in 1978 to the present, policymakers, academics, businesses, and the general public throughout China have mistakenly believed that the inefficiency of SOEs can be solved by "internal transformation."

It is precisely because of this wrong thinking that most of the state-owned enterprises struggled in a difficult situation, or even died, and then were taken over by the capitalists, which eventually promoted the vigorous development of China's real estate industry, and housing prices have become an eternal pain in the hearts of the people.

You know, from the mid-to-late nineties, the nationwide real estate development and urbanization spread to the whole country, and the huge business opportunities allowed the capitalists to discover the huge land grade difference opportunities, and they controlled the declining state-owned enterprises through reorganization, mergers and acquisitions and even contract operations, but the vast majority of capitalists are not determined to run state-owned enterprises well, and carry out land development, like bloodsucking worms into the heart of the country to absorb huge wealth!

Zhang Yunqi knew all these very well in his heart.

That's his strength.

As a prophet, he knows that he has to accumulate and make use of these advantages, because with the passage of time, these advantages will disappear little by little, so he wants to learn as much as possible about business knowledge and reform, and he also thinks of some important things, he writes them down in a unique way, such as songs, novels, national events, and some important nodes and measures in the process of reform and opening up, which are all capital for him to win a good future in the future.

Time passed day by day, Zhang Yunqi lived a quiet and comfortable life at home, he exercised and read books every day, and sometimes he would think of Ji Ling, the girl with a bright atmosphere.

On August 23, Ji Ling's father, Ji Chong, called the village committee to find Zhang Yunqi.

The son of Zhang Jingui, the director of the village committee, ran to Zhang Yunqi's house to inform him, and he knew that what he said to Ji Zhong a few days ago had come to fruition.

He wanted to go to see his father who was in prison before school started, but his father was in the Guiping County Prison next door, limited to age, and some prison visit procedures were very troublesome for him, so it would be much easier for Ji Zhong to find someone to say hello.

On the phone, Ji Zhong told him that the matter of visiting the prison had been completed, and on the 25th, he just took the household registration book to Guiping County Prison to register.

Zhang Yunqi immediately decided to leave on the 25th.

Although the school started on September 1, after visiting his father in prison, he still wanted to go to the city to find a way to make money. He didn't just go to Jiangchuan City to study.

After Zhang's mother knew that Zhang Yunqi was going to leave home early, she dismantled and washed the futon for him on the same day, and Yunfeng took 500 yuan and stuffed it into his brother's hand: "It is estimated that it will be rare for you to come back once when you go to study in the city, take more living expenses, eat better and dress better, don't make people look down on you, call the village committee when you have no money, and I will send you money." If you have a long vacation, come back and see more. ”

Zhang Yunqi didn't answer, saying that he had saved some money.

The night before leaving, he packed his bags. An old mat, the futon was left after my sister got married in the early years, and there are many patches on it. He tied three broken hemp ropes together, and tied all the bags that went out. Of course, these things can be bought in the city, but in the past, the family was afraid of poverty, and they were used to saving.

At night, Zhang Yunqi and his clothes were lying on the bed, half-asleep and half-awake, and he was going to visit his father in prison tomorrow.

I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, he suddenly felt someone gently rubbing his hair, and he knew that it was his mother's hand, so he opened his eyes.

Zhang's mother stood beside the bed, holding the yellow bag that her eldest brother used when he was in school, and said, "In a blink of an eye, you are also going to go out to study, eh, didn't school start on the 1st, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Zhang Yunqi was silent for a moment before he said: "Mom, some time ago, I told Ji Ling and her father that I wanted to go to the prison to see my father, and he arranged the visit for me, and the visit time is tomorrow, and then I will go to school, but the visit needs to be registered in the household registration book." ”

Zhang's mother stood by the bed and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "It's okay to go and have a look, it's been more than half a year, and it's hard for him to be in it, I'll get you the household registration book." ”

Zhang's mother turned around and went out, and when she walked to the door, she said again: "Don't let your brothers and sisters know about this." ”

Zhang Yunqi nodded.

The next morning, after the first car from Longwan Town to Fengyang County came, the whole family who were crowded on the side of the dirt road to see off Zhang Yunqi raised their arms to stop the car.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Yunqi immediately picked up the roll of luggage and squeezed it up, and he smiled and waved goodbye to his relatives.

More than an hour later, the car arrived in Fengyang County, and Zhang Yunqi changed to a bus bound for Guiping County at the station, and when he arrived at the Guiping County Prison, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Now that it was autumn, it would be winter in a few months, and he thought that his father would be cold in prison, so he bought a thick quilt for the winter, two large cotton jackets, two cigarettes, and a commissary in the prison, and some necessary daily necessities could be bought in the commissary, so he charged 600 yuan to his father's account.

When the time for the visit was approaching, he took the household registration book, received the visit card, and then sat in front of his visit window according to the visitation number and waited, the waiting time seemed to be particularly long, the sound of the wall clock ticking on the wall was clearly audible, and his mind was floating with fragments of the past from time to time, and his heart was full of torment.

I don't know how long it has been, Zhang Yunqi suddenly heard the screams of the prison guards, through the glass window, he saw a team of prisoners brought up by the prison guards, all squatting under the corner, holding the back of the head with ten fingers of their hands, the prison guards called the numbers one by one, and the prisoners waiting to be visited stood up in turn, opened the handcuffs, and entered the visiting cell.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Yunqi's heart slowly tightened, but soon, a man appeared in his eye sockets, very thin, his hair was half white, there was a little piggyback, and his face was full of folds.

Zhang Yunqi wanted to laugh, wanting to make himself look more energetic in front of this thin man, but he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't laugh, but a sad emotion welled up in his heart, like an extremely sharp knife, slammed into the depths of his memory, stabbing him bloody.
