Chapter 2: Liao Shan

As soon as she entered the house, her grandmother, who was in her seventies, stumbled and rushed up to hug Chen Qian, and she cried, wiping her snot and tears on her body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before eating, Lin Xikun also closed the shop at home and came over to eat together.

Lin Quan was happy, he had to drive half an hour from his grandmother's house to his home, and the big night was full of mountain roads, and he didn't dare to take this risk no matter how bold he was.

So when eating, Lin Quan sat directly next to Lin Xikun, and when he saw someone pouring wine over, he blocked the mouth of the cup with his hand, and after a few times, several big men were happy.

"I thought your mother was in charge."

She just doesn't let go of her hand, "I'm in charge of drinking and smoking"

looked at Chen Lan next to her, her face was red and hot after half a cup of rice wine, and she saw that she sandwiched a piece of beef into Chen Qian's bowl.

"Qianzi, it's not the same as before, the meals are all meat, don't worry about not eating."

Qianzi didn't speak, blushing and nodded.

Lin Quanyi knew his mother's temperament very well, and he only said what he wanted to say, completely ignoring other embarrassments.

In order to gagged her, she put a piece of beef in her bowl, looked at her with a smile and said, "Mom, eat"

Chen Lan's heart was hot, thinking about how her daughter had suddenly grown up, knowing that it hurt people, she stuffed it in her mouth when she picked it up, and bit it into a thief.

The phone in the house rang at this time, Chen Kang went to answer it, and after a while, he came out again and said to Chen Gan, "Xiaoli called, looking for you"

Everyone present was silent, and then tacitly did not speak.

Xiaoli is Chen Qian's former wife, Lin Quan has seen it once, and she is very beautiful.

The two had just been married for a year, and Chen Qian had an accident.

When she started to go in, she would come to Chen Lan's house twice in three days to ask if the verdict had come down, and then she didn't come again after hearing the verdict for eleven years, and I heard that she was with someone else.

After talking for more than half an hour, Chen Qian finished, and as soon as he came out, Chen Lan asked,

"Hung up?"

"Hung up"

"I said I didn't hang up, I'll say a few words"

"What do you say about someone else's wife?"

The atmosphere was even more awkward, and whoever shouted a sentence to come to dinner and eat only then did the atmosphere heat up.

After eating, as soon as Lin Quan moved to the side to bake the fire, before his buttocks were hot, Chen Lan's voice sounded, "Xiaoquan come and take the bowl, take it to the faucet and wash it, and this place, take a broom to sweep it." ”

"Don't want her, I'll come, I'll come," Grandma walked slowly over with her back bowed.

"Mom doesn't want you to come, why do you want to keep her." Chen Lan said

At this time, she couldn't say anything more, got up and said, "Grandma, sit down, I'll come."

She put away all the dishes on the table and washed them, then swept the floor again before sitting back to continue the fire.

There are ridges all around Maling, which is equivalent to being directly at the foot of the mountain, and the wind at night is cool.

Several people had already opened the table to play cards, and as soon as Lin Quan sat down by the fire, Chen Qian was alone.

"Little uncle, why don't you fight?"

He rubbed his hand close to the fire, grinning and saying "no hit"

She noticed that the middle joints of each of his thin fingers were misaligned, causing the upper and lower sections to not be in a straight line, as if they were too stiff to bend.

While in the car, he heard him jokingly talk about his time in prison, helping the neighborhood to chop sugar cane, fry brown sugar, and pick pig manure every day, and then count by the hour, and reduce his sentence if he behaved well.

She didn't know how long he had been working for the five-year commutation and the two thousand and four yuan he received when he came out.

Chen Qian suddenly said, "Xiaoquan, inside, I saw with my own eyes that more than 20 inmates around me died, some died of illness, and some couldn't stand it. One day, I'll be able to get those two thousand four dollars, really"

Her voice choked up, and her hands trembled all the time, and she slowly stroked his hand.

"Koizumi, I read the letter you wrote to me for a long time, and I thought about it a lot, and I really felt that you had grown up at that time, and I read it for a long time before I came out today."

It was this last sentence that completely crushed her, her eyes moistened all of a sudden, her head slightly pillowed on his shoulder, covered her eyes, and clasped his hand tightly without saying a word.

It was written by Lin Quan as soon as he received a call from prison, and he can only call once every half a month in prison, and it depends on whether you perform well or not.

Once Chen Qian called back, Chen Lan was not at home, and she answered the phone. Chen Qian asked her, is the family in the next room still bullying them? Let her tell Chen Lan that there are people outside her, and she has to fight and talk about it.

At that time, Chen Qian had not yet entered, because of the problem of building a house and land, the two families fought twice, and both sides called people, and Chen Lan called Chen Qian and a group of young people at that time.

She only said no, and didn't tell him that the house next door moved out half a year ago.

That night, she secretly went to Chen Lan to find the address, wrote a letter and sent it, but she didn't know if she could receive it.

But it was all a few years ago, and she wasn't even sure if she received it, and she couldn't remember what she wrote, but I didn't expect him to keep the letter.

On the way back, Lao Lin drove, and Lin Quan was so sleepy that he almost collapsed.

A phone call that Chen Lan answered immediately woke her up again.

"I don't know, I forgot, I don't remember where many people were. Well, I haven't gone back yet, I'll help you take a look when I go back, what are you anxious about, this person has come out. Tomorrow first, Qianzi said that he would get a calling card tomorrow and he would call you, and now he is asleep. You go, well, you don't have to hurry. Well, that's all. ”

Chen Lan hung up the phone with a black face.

"Who," Lin Xikun asked

"Xiao Liao, who was in prison with Qianzi before, Qianzi didn't allow me to tell him, let me ignore him, what do I say."

Lin Quanyi also knew that this person, whose real name was Liao Shan, used to be in prison with Chen Qian, but he came out three years ago.

After coming out, he immediately found Chen Lan and told him about the situation of Qianzi inside, and he told him what he usually ordered inside, and even when he was released from prison this time, he told Chen Lan that the family only knew.

She felt puzzled in her heart, it stands to reason that the two should have a good relationship, how could the little uncle not even tell the number.

Chen Lan said to Lin Xikun next to her, "I guess this person has something to talk about with Qianzi."

Lin Xikun nodded, "Don't dare to say"

"It may be that Qianzi owes him money, and he called me before to ask for money, but I ignored him"

"If it's Qian Mi, it's impossible to be in such a hurry, just come out and chase after it."

Lin Quan thought that what they said was not unreasonable, how could anyone who had just been released from prison ask for debts, and he didn't mean to find bad luck.

The next day, as soon as she got up, she saw Liao Shan.

He sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and talked to Chen Lan, which was completely different from when he was first released from prison three years ago.

A gray shirt and a pair of shiny leather shoes were rarely worn by rural people, but the white socks that had just been exposed betrayed him.

She glanced at the Moutai and the gift bag on the table, how could there be a debt collector and bring something, so she smiled politely at him as a greeting, and turned around to change clothes.

"Didi, Didi......" She heard the horn downstairs, it was estimated that someone was coming to wash the car, and she immediately sped up the action of changing clothes in her hands.

Usually she can't be busy, and she will also help with washing, but she is not very skilled.

Hearing the voice, Chen Lan immediately got up and leaned down to the window to look at the license plate, and when she saw that she hadn't washed it, she shouted to her,

"Don't brush your teeth yet, go down quickly, take him 40."

Usually, the price is Chen Lan's final say, and it depends on the person. Old customers will charge 25, occasionally come to charge 30, and those who have not come to wash directly charge 40.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, she directly shouted 60, and people still washed it, no way, who called the whole street to wash her family's car.

After the Lantern Festival, this year is really over, so the people who came to wash the car in the morning have not stopped, she is so busy that she is sweating profusely, and she can't help but look at the staircase, but she doesn't see Chen Lan coming down.

It wasn't until noon that I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I went upstairs to see Chen Lan busy in the kitchen, and then saw that the people in the living room hadn't left yet, I guessed that I was going to stay and eat.

Didn't you wait to see people yesterday, why did you still leave food.

Wiping his wet hands on his body, he walked over to see him watching TV, glanced at him and sat down, "What about watching "Fortune Classroom"?" ”

His eyes turned to her face, and he smiled and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, "Learn to learn"

Then she didn't know how to answer, she was not very good at chatting with strangers, and felt that it was difficult to find something to say, so she simply knocked on the melon seeds and glanced at the TV from time to time.

"Do you want to watch the Legal Channel?" Liao Shan asked

It's as if she's the one who is the guest

"Whatever you want"

He changed the rule of law channel and is playing a popular law column, using the method of recreating scenes and telling stories to popularize legal knowledge.

In their freshman year, in order to make it easier for them to accept and not get bored with a large number of legal provisions so quickly, they often put a law popularization column in class.

At first, everyone watched it very energetically, "quoting scriptures" to discuss how many years this person should be sentenced and which crime he committed. But after watching too much, I realized that people didn't let them study law at all.

This episode of the show is about Internet traps, and the same legal advice at the end is watched by Liao Shan with relish.

She thought that people who had been in prison would more or less dislike watching this show, after all, people outside the TV used a top-down posture to ring the alarm bell for themselves with the lesson of blood pain.

"Lawyer's fees in Beijing are expensive, right?" He suddenly turned his head to her and asked.

She was stunned for a few seconds, and then said something that can be used at any time, "Beijing is expensive for everything"

He nodded, and said in a voice that could only be heard by himself, "If the lawyer's fees weren't expensive, would your mother have asked for it?" ”

Although the voice was small, she could still hear it clearly, and it was densely rooted in the tip of her heart.

Chen Qian did not hire a lawyer after committing the crime, and after the first trial, he was sentenced to 11 years, which made Lin Quan, who knew nothing about the law at that time, tremble.

At that time, she thought that it must have been written wrong, so she hurriedly ran to the street Internet café to check, and saw that it was written: If you rob once, the starting sentence can be determined within the range of three to five years in prison. In any of the following circumstances, the starting sentence may be determined within the range of 10 to 12 years imprisonment, such as robbing a home or other financial institution, robbing a bank or other financial institution on public transportation, robbing three times, or the amount of the robbery reaching a huge starting point......

She didn't know which or which ones her uncle had committed, but she had heard that he hadn't hurt anyone.

It's too long, eleven years, and when it comes out, it's almost forty, but the man has to spend it in prison when he is most proud.

After coming out of the Internet café, she sneaked into her parents' room and read the verdict several times, not missing a word, except remembering that the last sentence read: "You can appeal within 10 days from tomorrow."

At that time, what she remembered was the big wig in TVB, they were omnipotent and could always turn things around at the last moment.

She rushed to find Chen Lan with the verdict, and excitedly pointed to the last line and said, "Mom, you can appeal!" Can be appealed! ”

Chen Lan took the verdict, looked at it and said, "The family has just built a house, and you two sisters and brothers want to study again, how can you have money?" ”

"Xiaoquan, there is no salt, go buy a bag of salt and come back," Chen Lan shouted in the kitchen.

"Oh, good," she replied, as if she had seen a savior, and got up in a slight hurry.

During the meal, she buried her head in silence. Chen Lan knocked her bowl with chopsticks,

"Pick up the bowl and look like it."

There is a rule for their family to eat, that is, the rice bowl must be held upright and eaten, and cannot be placed on the table.

At school, a big plate of meals is served together, so sometimes she forgets when she gets home, and Chen Lan reminds her every time.

Her mind kept empty, so much so that Liao Shan called her a second time before she reacted, "Ah, what? ”

"How's the fruit market in Beijing?"

"Your little Uncle Liao has contracted more than ten acres of land to grow navel oranges, and has earned hundreds of thousands, and I want to call your little uncle together."

Chen Lan was afraid that she wouldn't know that he was making a fortune now, so she deliberately said more.

"I don't know much, but Guilin is too far away from Beijing, and it's not cost-effective to go there and open a market."

This is true, even if it is not bumpy, the shipping cost is a lot of money.

"Your brother-in-law and I are good brothers who have suffered together, and now that he is out, we will definitely help each other. I want to go to Beijing with him to conduct research and meet the market. He said

She couldn't bear to point out the use of the word in his research, if it was really a brother in distress as he said, her brother-in-law would not even tell him the phone number, he was not that kind of person.

I heard that several people went to rob together, and the brother-in-law was arrested, and the reason why he was sentenced for so long was because he refused to confess to his accomplices who committed a crime, and took the main responsibility on himself.

When Chen Lan heard it, she only said two words: she deserved it.

She nodded politely, not expecting the depth of what he said.
