Chapter Twenty-Four: My Father Gets Out of Prison
The epidemic situation gradually improved, the company's business gradually recovered, Yi Wei made up all the arrears owed to the supplier, wages and girlfriends, although the debt has not been paid off, but there are still fifty or sixty thousand, it is only a matter of time. When people are going well, there is always unexpected joy.
Although Yi Wei is already a well-known singer, in order to save money, he still lives in a single apartment building of more than ten square meters not far from the company, fortunately, he no longer has to sleep on the floor and squeeze the sofa every day, Yi Wei has also thought about whether to move in with his girlfriend, but it is better to think about making trouble for the other party.
Buzz----- Buzz--- phone rings
Yi Wei looked at the phone and was stunned for a moment, normally her mother rarely called her, in order to avoid the family's property disputes, and in order not to disturb the children, Yi Wei's mother has been boarding in the field, staying for 7 years, and these 7 years coincided with the day when his father was released from prison.
Mother Yihao: Ming, have you had breakfast?
Yi Wei: Well, Mom, why did you call me so early?
Yi's mother: The prison has sent a notice saying that your father is behaving well and is active in labor reform, and that he can be released two months early.
Yi Wei: Really? It's good, so what are we going to pick him up?
Yihao's mother: The day after tomorrow, I'll go buy a dress tomorrow, by the way, you have enough money to live, my mother saved some money to be a nanny for you to remit it, and you can pay it back to your friends, you can't always owe people and don't give it.
Yi Wei pursed her mouth, her mother knew that he owed a debt, but she didn't know that she owed so much, she only heard her son mention that he borrowed some money from a friend and the business failed, and the friend was very good and didn't rush to ask for money. But if you want to say what he has experienced over the years, why not her mother, now I heard that she is a nanny for others, Yi Wei's psychology is very unpleasant, to say that Yi Wei was once a relatively wealthy family in his hometown, since his grandfather's generation the family opened a hospital, after his grandfather's death his father took over the hospital and founded a rice factory, even if the family property was lost, at least when his father was there, three meals a day, the family's daily expenses, are still guaranteed.
After the end of the call, Yi Wei's mood is both a little happy and a little complicated, the reason is that it is good that his mother is accompanied by someone, but for this father, Yi Wei is actually a little resistant, since he was a child, he has lived together for a few years, when he was a child, his grandfather led him to grow up, he has been busy with his career, boarding school when he was older, and then going out to college when he was older, there are few intersections, plus his mother has suffered a lot because of him over the years, so the word father is just a title for Yi Wei.
On the day of pick-up, Yi Wei came to the residence of the mother city, Yi Wei's mother tried on clothes repeatedly in the mirror, and always felt that it didn't fit there, Yi Wei looked at the rough garage with only one bed and a sink, a simple wardrobe and a cabinet with serious wear and tear and couldn't help asking?
Yi Wei: I remember that there was a bathroom, a washing machine, a water heater, an air conditioner, and a normal small garage, how could it change?
Mother Yihuan: You don't know that those household appliances consume a lot of electricity, and the landlord has to increase the price, so I simply moved.
Yi Wei: Then why didn't you tell me, didn't you say that there is an air conditioner and a range hood or something?
Yihuan's mother: Yes, I am at my employer's house during the day, blowing air conditioning, washing and cooking, eating and drinking, which is very good, and I will only sleep when I come back at night.
Izu: What about you going to the toilet?
Yihao's mother: There is a park behind the community with a public toilet, so it's good to go out for a walk.
Yi Wei looked at her old mother, who was getting older and older, and her own old man deliberately dyed black in order to hide more and more gray hair, but she still couldn't cover the white hair roots that were still showing near her scalp.
Yi Wei in his heart: I really want to slap myself twice, I still have the face to take sleeping pills back then, it's just a hopeless waste.
On the road, Yi Wei drove a second-hand car to buy Yunqin, that is the only asset he feels, although the value may not be worth a few high-end mobile phones, but he is very satisfied with this car, on the way Yi Wei found that his mother smiled after a long time, laughing so happily, but it made Yi Wei so sad, the car drove all the way, crossed one bridge after another, crossed one mountain after another, the old mother who was motion sick did not want to be a little bit this time, maybe she couldn't wait to see her lover, as a mother, as a wife, she far exceeded the definition of qualified。
When you arrive at the prison, whether you are coming to visit the prison or pick up people, you need to wait in line for the number, and then go in one by one, if there are no relatives to pick up, the people who have just been released from prison will go by themselves, of course, they will also be given some basic living expenses as the starting living funds, in fact, it is also the salary of their own labor in it, my father was selected as the team leader because of his good writing, responsible for the production and reporting of electronic products in the group, because it is an economic crime, so the inmates together, fortunately, most of them are relatively honest.
Looking at this prison, Yi Wei remembered that he came to visit once when he was in college, only once, and quarreled once, he was not sensible in his sophomore year, his father wanted Yi Wei to do clinical work, but Yi Wei opposed and insisted on going his own way. Originally, I talked for 15 minutes through the glass, and half of the quarrel was wasted, and my mother tried her best to dissuade it, but it was useless. Later, Yi Huan's school actually received a letter from his father from prison, hoping that Yi Wei would take good care of his mother and insist on studying medicine, but his father's debtor had forced the school to pull the banner, and the angry Yi Wei did not reply to the letter, and his father thought that he had not received it and did not write again, and the Yi Wei who would be considered diligent and studious at school, although he did not want to engage in this business, but Yi Wei still tried his best to do a good job, participated in the student union and was elected as the head of the men's department, founded the dance club, and got the scholarship won by the first boys of that class, and the head teacher also praised it, speaking of which, Yi Wei has always wanted to go back and thank the class teacher, it is worth mentioning that He Xi is also her classmate。
Mother Yiyu: It's out, your dad is out, your dad he's out,,,
Sitting in a daze, Yi Wei looked at his mother's fingers trembling slightly and pointed into the distance, a dark gray hair, middle-aged physique can hardly hide his emaciated cheeks, he is walking and difficult to hide his smile, he is a person who wants to save face, Yi Huan's mother said: That time you quarreled, you left angrily through the glass, and your father hung up the phone and kept wiping tears when he turned around.
People came, Yi Huan's mother took out the newly bought clothes for his father to change, Yi Huan didn't say hello simply, just walked in front and led the car, his father went out of the gate, sighed, looked up at the blue sky and the prison gate, at this time Yi Wei probably could already slightly understand his father's feelings, so he sat in the car and watched quietly through the rearview mirror. He was not too tall and slightly blessed, and his father, who used to talk a lot, looked at his weather-beaten face and melancholy eyes, and could feel endless worries and contemplations!
On the way back, as expected, they started to make a routine, but they didn't mention their own affairs, there were several sets of pledged real estate to be processed by the court, not to mention the pawn shop, the debtor or something, thinking about it, Yi Wei couldn't cry or laugh, he tried not to be a debtor like his father, but he still owed so many debts, and sometimes it was really interesting.
After 7 years, the family finally reunited once, in order to get along with his parents more time, Yi Wei arranged them to a community separated from him by only one wall, his father's physician license must have been revoked, and he could only go to the hospital to fight groceries, and his mother arranged the main family over there A month later, he also came, and he started working as a nurse in the hospital, and on weekdays, Yi Wei always came to his mother's house for dinner, and occasionally took Zhao Qian, Yi Wei and his father didn't talk much, but how much they understood each other, how many things looked ordinary and how precious they were, don't wait to lose them and think about it again, fortunately, Yi Wei has experienced these and understood this。
The years baptize not the clothes, but the grateful soul, put on the education of others, dripping the germination of the self, to understand others, in order to learn to observe the self, in each time period there are others chasing, there are more people waiting, but if it does not rain, then no one can understand the self.
