Xing Tian received a phone call from a friend in the Hebei public security system. "Hey, Lao Xu, hello...... The matter you asked is over...... It's the disputes of those fellow villagers at night, the criticism and education that should be criticized and educated, and the fines that should be fined according to the regulations are also punished. The fellows promised not to do it again, and now they are all going home. ”

"Okay, thank you. Xing Tian hung up the phone. Some things can't be explained so clearly on the phone, and he understands that. The euphemistic implication in this friend's words was to pick out the implicit implication, that is, the villagers who participated in the casino group beating that night have been detained and fined, and now all of them have been released, including Chang Jinzhu.

Xing Tian didn't know that he got this letter a little late, and the day his ex-wife and children came to see him was the fourth day that Chang Jinzhu returned to Dayangtun Village.

The captured villagers returned suddenly, and their families were overjoyed when they came in groups from the nearest village bus stop and appeared at the entrance of the barricade. For 10 days, these women and elderly people were frightened day by day with their children in their arms, afraid that the men in their families would be locked up in the number room and squatting for three and five years, and even more afraid that as reported in the news, as reported in the news, they would be beaten and beaten with murderous punches and kicks, and some terrible problems would be made. Therefore, when the more than 80 people entered the village one after another, their respective women and old people hurriedly rushed up to see if their husbands or sons were injured, whether their faces were good, and whether they were hungry and thin.

To everyone's surprise, the villagers who were released said that they were not beaten or tortured at the police station, and that they were able to manage three meals a day very well. The family didn't believe it at first, but after a closer look, they were a little tired, and they were in a better state of mind than before they went in. A few women with good brains thought of coming to interview three reporters the day after the incident: "It can't be the news sent by that reporter, who has seen it?"

"What kind of reporter? We haven't heard of it!" The gentlemen who were still released gave the answer: when they were detained at the police station, some of them saw it, some of them heard it, and it was the old secretary Chang Jinzhu who told the police when he was questioned that the whole thing was due to a misunderstanding, and the villagers who were brought back are usually honest people, and this time it was a first offense, and they must recognize and be willing to correct their mistakes.

If asked carefully, few of these people would admit that they had heard the above words or seen Chang Jinzhu's trial with their own eyes, and they could not remember when they saw Chang Jinzhu at the police station. This story spread quietly in every detention cell where they were held, and once it spread, it slowly came true. There is only one thing that is definite about what Chang Jinzhu did and said at the police station, and this is what the villagers who returned home told them after being booed and greeted by their relatives for a while: At the end of the detention, the police will fine the villagers who participated in the brawl and gambling, and Chang Jinzhu told the police in charge that the villagers are working hard, and he will pay everyone's fines.

"Really......? "Yes, where is he?" The released men knew nothing about this, saying that they had not seen him when they left the police station. People also found that among the people who came back one after another, there was no shadow of him.

Chang Jinzhu really didn't go back to Dayangtun Village with these more than 80 people. When the sun had set and families had set up fragrant dinners and old wine for the men who had returned home, an Audi climbed over the shadowy hills of the trees in the twilight. The lighting on the road is still insufficient, and the unpruned trees that grow unexpectedly and unscrupulously in the headlights are flashing their teeth and claws, and they are speeding past in front of them, which is enough to make people feel that the grass and trees are all soldiers. Chang Jinzhu sat in the back seat of the Audi, crossed his legs, and thought about what was on his mind while smoking.

"Let Feihu pick me up in a car when it's dark, and I'll be home after seven o'clock. At noon, he watched the 80 villagers stagger out of the police station and explained to his family, and he also told his family to keep quiet and wait quietly for him to come back. In this way, it was not until Audi stopped in front of the small European-style building on the southern hillside that the wife, Feipeng, eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren pushed open the door and rushed out, and the cries of "Dad" and "Grandpa" were incessant.

Chang Jinzhu threw away the cigarette butts, put out a plastic bag full of snacks and other things, and then stroked his grandchildren's little brains and faces, and smiled at his wife, son, and daughter-in-law: "Let's go, go into the house, go into the house." Children, look what Grandpa buys you to eat. ”

Walking into the "palace" where he had been separated for many days, looking at the exquisite decoration and furniture inside, Chang Jinzhu felt extremely comfortable, yes, throughout the day, his mood was not as comfortable as at this moment. Walking to the staircase, he remembered that he hadn't seen his second daughter-in-law. "Feipeng," he called his second son, "what the hell is Bingbing?" "Oh, there's something going on in her mother's house, she'll go back and take a look." "Oh, when will she be back?" "In a moment, she should be back in a while." "I'll be back later?" "Yes, because you're back, Dad, I'll call her and ask her to hurry home." "What's going on with his mom and dad?" "It's not a big deal, she's already taken care of." ”

"Let's go, go upstairs!" Chang Jinzhu shook his head and strode up the stairs, which meant to teach Chang Feipeng to follow. Chang Feipeng followed suit, and when he saw his father go straight into the house where the three of them lived, he was shocked and had to follow in.

"Close the door. Chang Jinzhu commanded. Chang Feipeng did as his father said, Chang Jinzhu looked at his son and asked, "Feipeng, how did you learn to lie to me?" Tell me, what did your daughter-in-law do?" Chang Feipeng expected to fool his father, so he said: "Dad, let's talk about it first, don't be angry when I say it, I ...... I just want to get you out. Then, he told him about letting Jin Xing go to Chang Zhimin to plead with Chang Jiucheng. As for how he said that Jin Xing moved, of course he didn't dare to confess to his father.

"Bastard, nonsense!" Chang Jinzhu's comfortable mood was swept away, he finally didn't roar, just glared at his second son, "Shameless, you're not ashamed!"

Jin Xing's bus encountered a traffic jam on the highway, looking at the scattered raindrops outside the car window, and thinking about the noon incident, what a ridiculous thing it was! She knew very well that her father-in-law could not have been released because of her own intercession, that is to say, as the daughter-in-law of Chang Jinzhu's family and Chang Feipeng's wife, she did this thing that was not so in line with her identity, which was completely a snake painting! Identity, identity, hum. Thinking of this word, Jin Xing felt even more ironic. Should I feel guilty about this? After marrying Chang Feipeng, under the influence of her family education and the persecution of reality, she set an identity for herself that she didn't like and persisted to this day. This time, even though her husband imposed an unsuitable task on her, she repeatedly reminded herself to pay attention to her current identity when she went to carry it out. However, the first time she saw Chang Zhimin again, she couldn't hold back the surging tide, but fortunately, the Winnie the Pooh umbrella covered the flush on her face. She couldn't fool herself, in the less than three hours she had been talking to Chang Zhimin, a beautiful emotion that was already a little strange seemed to flow out of a cell in her heart that had detained her for a long time, dissolving the dark clouds that had accumulated in her heart, and moistening her senses like rain and dew. The last time I had such a sweet feeling was when I had just given birth to a child and looked at the weak and delicate soldiers in swaddling clothes.

However, all this happened on a personal emotional level, and in the short process of getting along, Jin Xing thought that she was very decent. She did not plead with Chang Zhimin in a low voice or flattering manner according to her husband's instructions, but stated her interests through her own rational judgment, and this was also done to protect her family in a big way.

Unconsciously, the night engulfed the world, it was dark outside the window, Jin Xing swayed and stopped with the snail-like squirming bus, feeling exhausted, she ended her afternoon cranky thoughts with a conclusion, comforting her heart: I didn't do anything sorry for him, sorry for his family, even if I lost my identity in any way, it was him...... He caused.

When she reversed the train and was about to reach the nearest station to the village, she called Chang Feipeng and taught her to pick her up. When the bus arrived, she saw that Audi was already waiting. When she got out of the car, she noticed that it was not raining. "Why did you come back?" was the first thing her husband said to her as she pulled the car door. She noticed that her husband's face was dark, or rather, his face was darker than the paint of the Audi. "When it's raining, the car is moving slowly and it's jammed. "Traffic jam, really?" "Of course it's true, or I don't want to go." Jin Xing replied angrily. "The whole family is waiting for you to eat. After saying this sentence weakly, Chang Feipeng started the car and turned around and went home. Along the way, the husband and wife had no more words.

Outside, you can also see from the window, the atmosphere in the European-style building is very warm, the return of the head of the family makes the most prominent family in Dayangtun happy, the aroma of the food wafts out, it is the sister-in-law's cooking. When he opened the door and entered the house, the first to rush in front of Jin Xing was the soldiers. "Mommy, Mommy!" he cried excitedly. "Hey, soldiers, what are you eating?" Jin Xing found that her son was chewing something in his mouth and holding something in his little hands. "Almonds, American almonds, grandpa bought them on the way home. ”

At this time, it was half past seven in the evening, Jin Xing hugged the soldiers, and saw that the whole family was really waiting for her, and hurriedly apologized to everyone for coming back so late. "It's okay. The mother-in-law, who had been depressed for several days, was happy at this time, "The reunion dinner has to be eaten by the whole family, and no one can be missing." "Dad, you're back!" Jin Xing saw her father-in-law walking towards her, "I'm sorry, it's my mother's side that has some ...... today" "It's okay, Fei Pengquan told me." Chang Jinzhu smiled and motioned for her to take the seat.

At dinner that day, all the lights inside and outside the building were turned on, which is usually only done during the Chinese New Year. Faced with a large table of delicacies, everyone opened their stomachs and ate to their fullness. The three big men frequently raised their wine glasses and ping-pong sounded, and the restaurant was filled with everyone's laughter. Since Chang Feipeng threw it into the black gauze hat, it has been a long time since such a cheerful ensemble has sounded on the dining table of Chang Jinzhu's house. The father and son used dinner as a battle meeting, and let the shadow of intrigue and power envelop the restaurant in front of the children, and this night, the shadow seemed to be dispelled by the joy of family. This joyful reunion dinner will be unforgettable for every family member.

After the meal, Chang Jinzhu called his two sons to go outside to smoke. Listening to the unbridled laughter of the children in the house playing games with their mothers, Chang Jinzhu suddenly asked Chang Feipeng: "Feipeng, have you contacted the developers who built the health valley in the past two days?" "Where do I dare?" At the mention of this, the youngest son immediately swept away the joy on his face, "They said that I was cheating and shouted that they wanted to sue me!" "Contact them and say that I will invite them to have a meal together." Chang Jinzhu smiled slightly, "Trading, it's important to make money." Talk about it, why are you in a hurry to turn your face?"
