There was a wake-up call from the armed police unit next door, and dawn finally came. At eight o'clock in the morning, according to the rules of the detention center, everyone had to get up, and the police in the corridor were shouting: "Get up, get up, get up and tidy up the internal guards!" The detention room was lively, everyone got up and washed, and most of them were in a good mood, joking with each other: Congratulations, congratulations on the new day, another day! Yes, finally the day has passed.

He Sicheng had gotten up early, and after washing up, he walked in the detention room for nearly an hour, and was now sitting in his bunk, counting the dates with his fingers, "27, 28, 29, 30, 1...... 5 "He still has to meet the dawn here nine times, the day of his freedom, and he feels terrible suffering!

After everyone finished washing, they began to fold the bed, and He Sicheng followed their example and sorted out the quilt. Seeing that everyone was holding their own plastic bowls, he knew that it was time for breakfast, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten anything for nearly twenty hours. He Sicheng got up and washed his bowl with water a few more times, but he always felt that the bowl was still not clean, but there was no way to wait for breakfast with everyone. Ma Cheng didn't seem to have slept all night, his expression was very haggard, he didn't affect his enthusiasm, he said to He Sicheng: "Brother He, I've been hungry all night, and the magical golden fried rice will come soon!", He Sicheng hasn't eaten the food in the detention center yet, but he imagines that the food must be very poor, after all, the people who come here are here to undergo transformation and not travel!

After a while, the sound of a cart sounded in the aisle, and a woman's voice called, "Cooking, cooking." The cart was pushed to the door of Detention Room 8 and stopped, and the cook opened a small window in the iron door and began to eat. The roommates stood in a row and walked forward in turn, it was He Sicheng's turn, he stretched out the plastic bowl to accept the "Golden Fried Rice", and accepted the first prison meal in his life, the "Golden Fried Rice" was about to soothe He Sicheng's hungry stomach and would also trample on his self-esteem!

After taking the fried rice, He Sicheng had no appetite, only to see that the so-called "golden fried rice" was cold rice fried with very little sesame oil and chili noodles, and the roommates turned out two packs of mustard and divided them into their respective bowls, lined up on the particleboard bedboard, and began to eat, and the roommates seemed to be eating happily. He Sicheng forced himself to eat more, thinking that his body could not collapse, there were still many troubles waiting to be dealt with by himself, and he had to be strong no matter what. Fortunately, there was a little pickled vegetables, which made He Sicheng's eating smoother, and he insisted on eating half a bowl of rice and got up to wash the dishes. People's desires are always the same, and when they are not hungry, they start to smoke again. He Sicheng has been smoking for more than ten years, and the first cigarette after breakfast in the day is the most enjoyable, but now smoking can only be a luxury.

After getting up, you are not allowed to lie in bed anymore, and the police officer will curse after seeing it in the surveillance. After eating, everyone began to sit together and chat, there was always something to do to pass the time, He Sicheng was still depressed and didn't want to speak, so he just sat aside and listened quietly. Zhou Jianxin said to a small man: "Sleep God, don't sleep, just get up, let's chat!" He Sicheng looked at the "God of Sleep", he is at most one meter six tall, and he is about forty years old, this person has basically not spoken since last night, and at this time he is leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, looking like he is about to fall asleep.

"Sleeping God" didn't care about Zhou Jianxin, Zhou Jianxin introduced to He Sicheng: "This is Brother Liao, he was arrested for skating at home and will be detained for five days, he has slept for three days after he came in, and he works in the bank." Hearing that the other party was a bank clerk, He Sicheng could understand why he chose to fall asleep, and the pressure in his heart might not be understood by others. Except for He Sicheng and the bank clerk surnamed Liao, who have legitimate jobs and need to work 9 to 5, the others in this detention room do not have a formal work unit, and they are their own bosses, so they do not have to think about how to face pressure from colleagues and employers. He Sicheng knew that what awaited him and this bank clerk if he was not careful was the catastrophe of his career! If a man loses his career at the age of 40, how can he be qualified to give his family a good life? What is the meaning of a man's life if he cannot give his family a good life?

The sound of opening the iron door came from the aisle, and Ma Cheng stood up excitedly and said, "Ready, ready, it's time to let the wind out." Everyone stood up and walked to the end of the detention cell, stood in two rows, waited for the early roll call, and immediately went outside to enjoy more than 30 square meters of freedom, and everyone was a little excited. The sound came from afar, and the nine men stood solemnly.

After the order, the iron door finally opened again, several people lined up in a row and shouted "report" in turn to walk out of the detention room, there was a row of iron cabinets against the wall, Ma Cheng trotted to the No. 8 cabinet and took out a cigarette and put it in his pocket and quickly returned to the team. An iron railing gate beside the walkway has been opened, outside the gate is a large courtyard dam, there are two basketball hoops standing in the courtyard dam, the courtyard dam is surrounded by a high wall, the barbed wire fence is pulled above the wall, outside the wall is a high sentry box, two armed policemen stand in the sentry box with guns on their backs, and the wind and grass in the courtyard dam are in full view.

He Sicheng walked out of the iron gate and walked down a few steps, and the people who went out in front of him were already standing in two queues, men and women, about twenty women, thirty or forty men, either wearing blue vests or yellow vests. He couldn't see the faces and expressions of those people clearly, only that there were people of all ages, both men and women. He Sicheng suddenly felt ashamed and bowed his head and walked forward, he didn't know if anyone would know him, but he always felt that someone was laughing at him. "Ten people stand in a row!" the policeman ordered from the platform in front of the yard. He Sicheng walked to the queue to find a place to stand, his mood was very gloomy, he knew that there were people standing here, and he didn't dare to say that he was a social elite, but his work was decent, the economy was free, his family was happy, his life was of high quality, and many people were envious of him. And at this moment, the vest on his body has made him exactly like the people around him. Born in response to the occasion, He Sicheng suddenly remembered an impressive movie "Nothing to Steal Fun" that he had watched before, the male protagonist Zhang Damin who lives at the bottom of the society leads two younger brothers, two younger sisters, and an old mother to live a hard and methodical life, financial constraints often make the family in trouble, but the family is still optimistic and happy life. The elderly and sick mother in the movie has a line that He Sicheng remembers vividly, when a family gathering discusses how to live a good life, the old mother said, "What is happiness? Happiness is that there are no relatives in prison, and there are no patients in the hospital, this is happiness!" More than ten years ago, this line made He Sicheng very emotional, and at this moment, He Sicheng really understood the meaning of this line! He Sicheng has been working extremely hard to make his family happier, so he has always thought that he is a responsible son, husband, and father, and now it seems that he is wrong, hard work will not necessarily make the family happy, and occasional indulgence will ruin the existing happiness!

"Align, stand, don't talk again!" the officer's order on the stage interrupted He Sicheng's train of thought, and he adjusted his standing posture, and the crowd quieted down. The officer shouted, "Stand up, look to the right, tell you to keep up with the right, not look at me." The officer shouted loudly, after all, most of the people have not experienced professional queue training, and the condition of the whole team is not as good as that of military training students, the blue and yellow team still looks crooked, and the officer may not expect the team to stand in order, he is no longer entangled. Commanded: "Look ahead! Count!" "One, two, three...... Sixty-four" reported in turn, a total of sixty-four people, sixty-four illegal facts, sixty-four stories that should not have happened, and sixty-four heartbroken families!

The police officer began to lecture: "Take a break! You people, let me tell you what is good? You can't stand in a queue well, some people still have hippie smiles, do you still have self-esteem? What are you doing here? Don't you know? If you don't actively reflect on yourself, you are here to receive reform and education, and if you don't dig up your own residual poison from the depths of your mind, you will be very dangerous!" He pointed to the detention center across the wall and continued: "If you don't reform yourself, the other side is waiting for you!" You each came in for different reasons, but what is the same is that you have both done something wrong, and the same thing is that your family must be very sad. I hope that when you do anything in the future, you will not only think about yourself, but also think about your family, and I don't want to see you again in this place in the future, and I will be more courageous, not to mention contributing to society, at least don't cause trouble for the government! What a simple and profound truth! Indeed, when I was indulging myself, if I could think about my mother at home, my wife who loved me deeply, and my daughter who was well-behaved and sensible, how could things come to this? Self-blame and regret filled He Sicheng's chest.
