At Gao Yuan's suggestion, Su Yi'an changed his outfit and took the sports route, no longer worrying about the clothes not fitting after becoming stronger.

After fifteen, Xiao Sun and the others returned to work one after another, and Su Yi'an also returned to the days of resting during the day and working at night. Xiao Sun brought Su Yi'an a hometown of Ash-artichoke and ham, Su Yi'an stared at more than 100 catties of potatoes and ham in front of him, not knowing how to get it. He didn't have a kitchen, he didn't have any tools, Xiao Sun didn't care about these at all, and after putting it down to Su Yi'an, he said that he would send some souvenirs to Mr. Li and drove the Mitsubishi Pajero away.

"Gao Yuan, can you help with the potatoes and ham?" In the end, Su Yi'an could only ask Gao Yuan for help.

"What's going on?"

"My foreman Brother Sun came back from his hometown for the New Year and brought me more than 100 catties of Ashie potatoes and a ham, I can't get it, help take it to your house to deal with it. ”

Gao Yuan couldn't turn around for a while and asked, "I don't have a factory for processing potatoes and ham!"

"There's always a stomach, right? ”

"This kid gave the gift so justifiably, let him bring it to me and deal with it. A voice came from Gao Yuan's mobile phone.

It took Su Yi'an for a while to react to the voice of Gao Yuan's father, and immediately said, "Hello uncle!"

"I'll just come over and hang up. After speaking, Gao Yuan rolled his eyes at his father and said, "Dad, so you are more powerful and domineering in receiving gifts." ”

"Have you ever seen Dad receive gifts?"

"Now I see it, and it's gone. ”

“......”

watched Gao Yuan go out, leaving his father behind and shaking his head.

After a while, Gao Yuan arrived.

"Your dad was next to you just now?"

"yes, I'm washing the dishes and I'm on the hands-free. ”

Su Yi'an said a little sneeringly: "It seems that you will have to talk well when you call you in the future." ”

"Hah...... Whatever you want. Takato was amused.

Let Gao Yuan's father know, Su Yi'an didn't leave any potatoes, just carried the bus, and the two of them walked to Gao Yuan's house. Gao Yuan's home is in a residential area not far from the gymnasium, and after six stops, he got off at Baita Road, and it didn't take long to walk into the alley to Gao Yuan's house.

When he entered the door and saw Gao Yuan's father, Su Yi'an greeted, "Hello uncle." ”

"Sure enough, he is still a young man, more than 100 catties of potatoes and ham, and he can carry it to the sixth floor without panting. Gao Yuan's father looked at Su Yi'an in front of him and sincerely admired that he didn't have this physical fitness when he was young.

"Get used to it. Su Yi'an smiled and said, Su Yi'an said as he followed Gao Yuan and put things into the kitchen.

"Exercise regularly, right?"

"Well, at least 5 km every morning. ”

Gao Yuan's father was a little surprised and said, "Who gave you a fitness plan?"

"I ran on my own, and as long as it didn't rain, I ran like this from high school to now. ”

Gao Yuan's father frowned and said: "It's a good thing to exercise, but you have to pay attention to methods and scientific fitness, otherwise you will suffer from excessive exercise at my age." ”

"Scientific fitness?"

"Yes, ask your teacher during physical education class, it's not good to exercise too much. ”

"Okay. ”

Gao Yuan poured Su Yi'an a glass of water, and Gao Yuan's father motioned for Su Yi'an to sit and talk.

"Yuanyuan said that you were celebrating the New Year in Spring City, where did you get it?"

"My foreman Brother Sun went back to Liangshan, Sichuan for the New Year. ”

"What's going on?" Gao Yuan's father didn't believe that a foreman would give a gift to a temporary worker, and if he had a good relationship, he could use other effortless ways to bring it from Liangshan to Spring City.

"A few years ago, my foreman told me that the income on duty during the Chinese New Year was high, and I went to the manager to say that I wanted to keep the store, and the manager agreed. Then I casually mentioned that Brother Sun wanted to borrow the manager's car to go back, but he didn't dare to say, his hometown is similar to my hometown, there is no direct car, it is more convenient to drive, and the manager promised to let him drive his car back. The foreman also confessed and asked me what I wanted, and I wanted to politely say that I wanted to eat potatoes from my hometown, but that's it. ”

"Why do you think your manager will lend him a car? The car is not borrowed casually, it is risky, it is better to pay more money. ”

"From the time I came to work in the store, my foreman Xiao Sun was in charge of the private room to become the sixth-floor foreman in less than three months, and the manager was still very optimistic about him. I heard me say that Brother Sun's biggest wish is to drive a good car home for the New Year, and the manager has fulfilled him. ”

"Repay the favor, the observation is good, success or not has no effect on you, a few months of part-time work is good. Yuanyuan, you also learn a little, many times if you want to do something, it is not how high IQ you need, emotional intelligence is very important. ”

"Got it, Dad. ”

"I haven't eaten Ashie potatoes for many years, and I will roast a few to satisfy my cravings, but you don't know, when I was young, I was as happy as eating meat. Gao Yuan's father missed.

"Gao Yuan, why don't you see Auntie?"

"My mom has gone back to the mountain town, and her job transfer hasn't been done yet. ”

"Oh, it's not easy for that auntie to come and see you. ”

"Why didn't you come to the house for the Lantern Festival?"

"I also wanted to come over and have a meal, but that day our manager was going to invite a friend to dinner, so I went to have dinner with the manager when I asked me to accompany me. ”

"In the future, when you have time to come to the house for dinner, you can also deal with the Ah Shi potatoes and ham you brought, I am a little busy, not often at home, your aunt estimates that she can go to Spring City next month, and let her make it for you when the time comes." ”

"My mom's cooking was delicious. Gao Yuan also said happily.

"Okay, I'll come when I'm free. Uncle, Gao Yuan, I'll go first, and I'll have to go to work later. Saying that, Su Yi'an got up and prepared to go back.

"Let Yuanyuan send you. ”

"No need to send it, it's just early in the spring and it's dark, I remember the road. ”

"Then I'll take you downstairs. ”

"No, how can I mix in the mountains after learning Lin Xue's sense of direction, I'll leave Gaoyuan. After saying goodbye at the door, Su Yi'an walked downstairs quickly.

"This kid can do things, and he doesn't drag his feet. Gao Yuan's father said.

"Of course, otherwise how can I provide for my own schooling. ”

"Eat people with soft mouths and short hands. In the future, when he needs help, say it, and if he is not bad-hearted, he can help. ”

"Probably not, if he wants someone to help, he doesn't have to go to work. ”

"His own business may not be, but it is difficult to talk about other people's affairs, otherwise his foreman will not bring him souvenirs. ”

"Won't cause trouble to Dad?"

"No, your dad is still a little confident in looking at people, people like him generally don't cause trouble, but it's a big deal to cause trouble, children with low self-esteem are easy to go to extremes, you are classmates, you have time to persuade him to read more philosophical books, it is good for his personality formation. ”

"We used to talk about some of the seniors in our school who discussed the works of Nietzsche and Hegel, and he said that he couldn't understand Western philosophy, so he liked to watch Miyazaki's anime. ”

"Healing childhood?"

"Perhaps, he doesn't know much either. Gao Yuan won't tell his father everything Su Yi'an told him, there are some things she still helps Su Yi'an keep secrets, unless Su Yi'an says it herself, otherwise she won't say it, which can be regarded as respect for Su Yi'an.

"There are only two kinds of anime that people like this big, one is love, like Miyazaki, and the other is to heal childhood. He's not like he loves anime, maybe it's the latter. Why should we look at philosophy in the West, and we have not done philosophical research, our ancestors have enough to read for him, and the books of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are not more profound than those of Western philosophy? Reading Western philosophy is only to understand them, and taking its essence for one's own use has always been the strong point of our nation. ”

"Well, there's a chance to recommend a few books to him. ”

"You don't just want to go to graduate school, it's only good for you to dabble in the strengths of various families. ”

"Okay, I'm going to read, Dad, you can rest early. ”

"Next month, your mother will come over and ask her to accompany you, Dad is busy with work, and I don't know how many years I will stay in Yunnan? In addition to the high altitude of Spring City, it is actually good to live here. ”

"Whatever you are, my home is where you are. ”

"Dad loves to hear this, my round circle has grown up. ”

After Su Yi'an came back, he changed into work clothes and waited in front of the bar, and after a while, everyone came, Xiao Sun greeted everyone, everyone took two lines and continued the usual cheering and mobilization, and returned to their posts after the end.

"Xiao An, accompany me tomorrow. ”

"Where?"

"Second Prison. ”

"Good. ”

Su Yi'an didn't ask anything, just follow along when the time comes. Just after the New Year, the business of Mansion No. 1 has not yet risen, although there are no guests, everyone is standing at their posts chatting in twos and threes.

Early the next morning, Xiao Sun came to call Su Yi'an and asked for a taxi to drive to the second prison. The two of them didn't talk much in the car, and the occasional word was a New Year's affair. At eight o'clock, when he arrived at the door, Xiao Sun walked to the prison guard registration office with his new clothes.

"What are you here for?"

"My brother is out of prison today, and I'm here to pick him up. ”

"Please show your ID card to register and take your things out for inspection. ”

Xiao Sun took out his ID card to register, and then took the newly bought clothes and bags to the police officer for inspection.

"Only one person can go in. ”

"Okay. Xiao Sun asked Su Yi'an to wait at the gate and went in to pick up people by himself.

Su Yi'an was waiting at the intersection of the parking lot and the prison gate, and half an hour later, two people came out of the door, and the person behind Xiao Sun was wearing a new dress and red sneakers, he came to Su Yi'an, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Su Yi'an. said: "I wish my brother good luck and great fortune every year." ”

Su Yi'an looked blankly at the man in red sneakers.

"Xiao An, take it, this is the red envelope my brother gave you. ”

"No, Brother Sun, what's the situation? You didn't say it just now, how can I take the big brother's red envelope?"

"Our custom, to give a red envelope to pick up people, to be auspicious, although not much, don't dislike it, take it. ”

Su Yi'an didn't understand, so he could only take the red envelope, and the three of them went down to the gate of the driving school to have breakfast.

"This is my brother Shama Ancient and this is Su Yi'an, the brother who is with me in our shop, a student of Yunlin. ”

"Shama's ancient brother is good. Su Yi'an greeted warmly, and on the way down from the second prison, the two brothers communicated in the national language, and he didn't know what they were saying.

"My brother's brother is my brother, don't be so polite. ”

After getting to know each other, the two brothers continued to communicate, still in the national language, Su Yi'an looked at the small shop on the side, and the coach buses came and went. After waiting for the three of them to eat breakfast, they waited for a while before waiting for the taxi to go back to the students, and Su Yi'an went to the house rented by Xiao Sun for the first time.

"I heard that I was going to prepare to come out, and I couldn't sleep well in the past few days, so I would rest for a while. After saying that, Shama was lying on the bed of the little grandson and sleeping.

Perhaps it was because of the night's sleep in this prison, and Shama fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

"I came to Spring City to work because I wanted to be closer to my brother so that it would be easier to visit. I didn't prepare anything when I just came yesterday, and after a while, Xiao An helped me go to the fruit stall in the downstairs community to buy some fruit, not too many two or three catties of apples and oranges. I cook a pot of local chicken at home, and I will eat an authentic local chicken at home for a while, and the broiler chicken in the outer restaurant tastes bad. Xiao Sun said.

"Okay, I'll go buy it first, and then I'll come back and help. Saying that, Su Yi'an went out to buy fruit, Su Yi'an didn't feel much about the identity of the former prisoner, and he himself squatted in the detention center.

Xiao Sun's rented place was a little far from the fruit stand, and Su Yi'an spent about half an hour back and forth, and when he returned to Xiao Sun's residence, the chicken was already stewed. Xiao Sun has been tired enough to drive in the past few days, so he asked Su Yi'an to look at some chicken, rest for a while, and lie down on the sofa after speaking.

Xiao Sun rented a single room, eating and living in it, slightly crowded, the fire on the induction cooker Su Yi'an controlled the minimum, low heat and slow cooking. When I have nothing to do, I read the magazines and newspapers that Xiao Sun bought, and when I was bored, I was bored with a pot of rice, and Xiao Sun woke up at about twelve o'clock at noon, and when he smelled the fragrance, he woke up his brother directly to eat, and Shama also slept in drooling in ancient times.

"Is this the chicken at home?" asked Shama Ancient after eating a bowl.

"Well, it was pulled yesterday. ”

"It tastes so good, it's exactly the same as when I was a kid. ”

Su Yi'an didn't speak and ate with his head bored, it was indeed the taste of local chicken, and he hadn't eaten local chicken for half a year. After finishing up the dishes and chopsticks, Su Yi'an leaned on the sofa with his little grandson.

"My brother is a college student, why do you want to work part-time?" Shama looked at Su Yi'an incredulously, he remembered that college students were the pride of the sky, and they didn't have to do hard work.

"My family conditions are not good, so I can only work to earn money for my own education. ”

"Isn't it for you from the state?"

"How many years has the eldest brother been in?"

"It's been eight years, it was supposed to be ten years, but the performance is good, and it came out in eight years. ”

"No wonder, eight years ago, tuition fees were not expensive, in all aspects, no matter how poor you are, as long as you are admitted to university, you can graduate without working. Not now, the tuition fee is almost 5,000 a year, not counting the expenses of housing and food, and it is difficult to live without working. ”

"Well, when I was in prison, the teachers didn't say anything in class, and I thought it was the same as before. ”

"There is still a school in the second prison?"

"It's not a school, it's a cultural class. ”

"Where did the teacher come from?" Su Yi'an was curious.

"It's all those who are officials who commit crimes, they don't have to work, they just teach us to read. ”

"Can Brother Sha talk about it?"

"What's this, I'm engaged in parts processing and car repair in it, and I plan to open my own auto repair shop in the future. You can't sleep in it with the lights off or your head covered, and the only difference from going to school is that you can't move freely, and everything else is done on time. My sentence is long, different from the short sentence, the most afraid of it is confinement, not a small dark room in a movie, the light is on 24 hours a day, I can only stand in the middle of the confinement room, the camera is always on, I must not leave the range of the camera, I am called once an hour, I don't answer to the camera and add confinement time, it's no different from interrogation, the worst thing is that the camera position is only up to the waist, and it is impossible to squat down and rest. When I first entered, I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and I had conflicts with others, and after being locked up three times, I was honest. I didn't learn anything in the cultural class inside, and those who were officials and criminals didn't teach them well at all, and the patrol police deliberately read two sentences when they passed by, and when they left, he let us see for ourselves. There are a few people who are relatively good, and it is estimated that they used to be quite big, and they directly ignored the ordinary prison guards, and I don't think those prison guards have any intention of offending them. Slightly better is the elderly, don't have to work to be sick and have to be sent out for treatment, no different from a nursing home, except for one hand with handcuffs during the infusion, every day is to watch TV and read books to rest. ”

"The second eunuch is so humane in management? Doesn't it mean that those people who have taken the lead are having a better life?"

"Who dares to take the lead? The famous one is that there will be people who are polite, but it is all supported by money, and there are a few people who can afford to eat apples for 20 yuan a catty. ”

"Brother Sun asked me to buy a few catties, Brother Sha can eat hard, and I will buy it again after eating, cheap, three yuan a catty. ”

"See, now my stomach is propped up, and I'll eat enough later. ”

"What are Brother Sha's plans?"

"Let your brother ask your manager if you still want people, if you want to go to work with you to maintain your life first, if not, I'll go to the repair shop and ask, don't dare to say anything else, I can get car repair from beginning to end." ”

"Brother Sun called Mr. Li to ask. ”

"It's better to say this in person, and I said on the phone that I was a little disrespectful to Mr. Li. Xiao Sun said.

"Brother Xiao Su, thank you for coming with my brother to pick me up, eldest brother, I didn't come out until I was twenty years old, I have nothing to tell you, just remember one sentence, if you don't reach the critical moment, don't do anything illegal and criminal, you are different from us, you have a good future." In the past few years, I have dealt with a lot of officials and criminals, they all suffer in money, sex, some are active, some are passive, in the future, when you participate in the work, brother, remember a truth, don't envy how much money your colleagues and classmates make, how many women, you only think of one thing, that is, how to spend your thousands of salaries, with a daughter-in-law, live a good life, don't be like those people, ruining yourself and ruining the family is not worth it. ”

"Thank you, Brother Sha, although my goal is to return to my hometown after graduation and have a stable job, the possibility of what Big Brother said will happen to me is very low, but Brother Sha is the only one I have taught me how to be a person in the future, and I must take Brother Sha's words to heart. ”

"Although those who are officials and criminals look down on ordinary prison guards, they are not like me, they can't turn off the lights when they sleep, and they have to report to the toilet. It can be seen that none of them do not regret it, but what is the use of regret, it is too late. It's nothing more than that they have connections after they get out of prison, and it's easier to find a job than me, but they can still have a few years to fight hard after they come out? No matter how hard they fight, they can't take off the hat of crime, my brother is a little person from a low background and doesn't mind, they are different, they used to be very powerful, and the gap in their hearts is much bigger than that of us, I am happy to be released from prison, and I can do things with peace of mind every day in the future, I have paid the price for my mistakes, they will be happy when they are released from prison, but they may not be like me. ”

Su Yi'an nodded and thought about Shama's ancient words, the first lesson of his life was actually given by a former criminal, he didn't feel any irony, sometimes those evil people in the eyes of others say more sincere words than some so-called good people, straight to the heart. Indeed, he doesn't have to envy his classmates for having money now, he only thinks about one thing, how to spend the money he earns is enough, others have thousands, tens of thousands, millions of things to worry about him, and the thousands of dollars in hand are what he has to consider. After thinking about this, the kid who used to pretend to be indifferent really doesn't care anymore. He was thinking that if one day he could be successfully admitted to the unit, it would be his bottom line not to break the law with women because of money, and there was a living example of what Brother Sha said in front of him.
