Chapter 161: Back to square one
At this time, we only need to say "time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle", and we can drag the time back to three months later.
Then we don't need to describe anything directly, just add some storyboards, and then bring some voiceovers, and the rest needs to be used by everyone's imagination.
The clock on the wall now points to seven o'clock.
The quaint bell rang, but it wasn't the bell of the morning class.
The doors on the edge of the dimly lit corridor opened one by one, and the people in prison uniforms stepped out one by one and walked out to the patio outside.
On all sides there are high concrete walls, surrounded by a circle of classic haired wires, and in the middle is a fairly large square, with bare dirt and green lawns alternating with it.
On a column in the corner of the square, a next-generation horn emits a string of music after a short pause, which is the music of radio gymnastics.
The prisoners outside began to swing their bodies to the music of the radio drill.
Then the camera slowly zoomed away, through the barbed wire fence outside, through some blurred glass, and gradually, a somewhat old guy sat on his desk, turning his head to look at the prisoners in the distance.
He turned his head and looked at the document in his hand, "These three months have passed so quickly. ”
In the past three months, the prison has undergone a reform in its constitution, from the initial incarceration to compulsory labor, and the standardized time planning has made some prisoners who were only restricted in their personal freedom deeply feel the sense of accomplishment of labor, and also made the prison profitable.
The warden lifted his glasses, "It's the first time I've felt a little reluctant to go through the formalities for getting out of prison, if I can, how about we get a job here later?" Although the treatment is not as good as before, but at least. ”
The soldiers outside had already walked in, "Warden, the time has come." ”
The warden nodded, then turned to look at the man in front of him, "It seems that you have no intention of working here with me, okay, young man, go out and practice more." As he spoke, he signed his name on the permission to be released from prison.
"Come with me." The cell boss on the side said.
"Eh, you said that you are a dignified ruling government, you committed such a big thing, you were not sentenced to prison and you didn't live for a long time, but you were fined three months in prison, stay honestly for three months, what kind of reforms are you going to do here, now it's okay, you see what you have made this prison look like in these three months?" The cell boss said, turning the baton in his hand.
A cigarette was handed over.
"Ah, thank you." The cell boss took the cigarette with his mouth, raised one hand to drag the flame for the other party to light it, and the two men stood in the elevator surrounded by an iron fence, slowly ascending, and spit out a smoke ring.
The old man also looked at the prisoners who were doing exercises outside, tall, short, fat and thin figures were doing some simple and clumsy movements at different levels, "Eh, what do you say the title of this reform is called... Oh, by the way, does 'labor reform' make sense for him? ”
The man smoking a cigarette looked at the prisoners on the playground and shook his head.
"I don't think there's any point in it, but at least let them have something to do, and we can make some extra money for the outside here." The cell boss said.
At this time, the elevator was also approaching, and the cell boss quickly snuffed out the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, and patted the people around him as a reminder by the way.
The two of them straightened their attitudes and stepped out of the elevator to a long hallway.
In front of a small window, a somewhat fat old woman glanced up and asked, "Name?" ”
"Zhou Ruocheng." The cell boss replied.
The fat woman didn't dwell too much, turned around, and came out with a bag of things, "This is what you brought with you when you came in, and the official uniform was taken away, because you are not an official now, and the gun can't be returned to you, and the rest of these, as well as the money you earned from helping to work in the past three months, are all put here." ”
Inside the plastic bag were two mobile phones and some loose items, as well as a side
He took out two strings of copper coins.
"This is also for you, this is the recommended form for the targeted work of the inmates you formulated, do you see if the above work is suitable for you?" The fat woman pulled out another form.
The man picked up the form and glanced at it, but only nodded.
The fat woman knocked a chapter on the document handed over by the cell boss, and then looked at the person in front of her, "Congratulations Zhou Ruocheng, you are now out of prison." ”
The heavy cell door in front of him slowly opened, and a shiny line slowly thickened through the crack in the door.
The man stood there stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until the cell boss in the back pushed him that he slowly walked out.
As the man left, the cell head behind him, the fat woman in the small window, and the jailers standing guard all saluted his back, and seemed to respect the young man in front of him unusually.
The light finally became a picture, this is in the suburbs, so there is only a large field outside except for a road, the climate is gradually warming, the rape flowers have finished blooming, the rapeseed is now used to extract oil, only bundles of stalks are placed on the side of the road, and the fields are now planted with some recognizable and unrecognizable plants.
The camera finally gave the man a straight face, now the boy's face is slightly thin, some beards have grown on his face, his hair doesn't seem to have been combed for a long time, it looks messy, and the clothes on his body have become overalls that can be bought in those grocery stores.
Three months have passed, and Zhou Ruocheng finally came out.
Three months ago, he bombarded the Tongshan Society, shot Yang Suzhen, and committed a vigorous atrocity, and the result of this atrocity was that the overall economic level of Jiangzhou dropped by nearly 60 percent, a large part of the merchants were affected, and a large number of people lost their jobs, causing the overall level of Jiangzhou to directly regress for nearly 20 years.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Ruocheng's official position in Jiangzhou's ruling government was directly dismissed, and all his family property in Jiangzhou was directly confiscated and confiscated.
But things should also be thought in a good place, the current Jiangzhou is not dominated by the two major forces, all kinds of waste are waiting for the new, any rules must be reshuffled, the imperial court by the queen mother directly came forward, appointed Jiang Shao prefect Wang Min as the responsibility of the Jiangzhou government, Longzi Chaofeng is Jiang Hao, was asked to stay in Jiangzhou for three years, used to stabilize the people's hearts.
The strange thing is that Jiang Hao, who has always been more resistant to governance construction, accepted the request very cooperatively this time, and Jiang Zhou is also recovering the original situation at a rapid speed, or rather, it will get better and better.
Zhou Ruocheng stood on the ridge of the field, watching the moment when everything recovered, a smile hung on his indifferent face.
It was at this time that the whistle of a car behind him pulled him back from his emotion to reality.
Zhou Ruocheng recognized that this was Zhao Yuanwai's car, and from the cab of the car, a familiar face poked his head out, "Zhou Ruocheng, what are you doing standing there?" Experience life? ”
The other doors were opened, and all the girls who got out of the car were the focal point of the street.
Zhao Qingyuan was wearing an antique long skirt, and rushed to Zhou Ruocheng at a trot all the way, and threw herself directly into Zhou Ruocheng's arms.
Zhou Ruocheng, who had been waiting for her with open arms for a long time, also picked her up directly with strength after saving her, and spun around in a circle.
"Sir, you've gotten stronger and stronger, and I thought you'd get thinner inside." Zhao Qingyuan said.
Zhan Xiaoyan is still dressed as a chivalrous woman, crossed her waist, and looked at Zhou Ruocheng, "It's just that this face has become sloppy." ”
Zhang Qing stood aside, and after seeing Zhou Ruocheng, he also gave him a smile.
"What about Tang Yunlin?" Zhou Ruocheng took a look, but he didn't find Tang Yunlin.
"Now
In Tang Yunlin, she is the baby of your Zhou family, her belly is big, and your mother revolves around her every day, eh, your mother is really... Zhan Xiaoyan said with emotion.
"What's wrong with my mom?" Zhou Ruocheng asked with a smile.
"It's nothing.,It's just that I think I'm a character carved out of a mill with you.。。 No, you should have carved it out of her! Zhan Xiaoyan said.
"Is that good or bad?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"This..." Zhan Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed: "I really can't say this." ”
A piece of flesh in Zhou Ruocheng's arm was pinched, and Zhao Qingyuan in his arms looked at him, and his eyes seemed to say, "You owe me an explanation." ”
"Ahh Zhou Ruocheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that he hadn't explained some things well before, and it seemed that the next things were also a little difficult.
"I said, are you done talking about the old days?" Hua Jijin leaned against the car window and asked, "But it's a highway, but it doesn't say that you can park for a long time." ”
A few people walked into the car around Zhou Ruocheng.
Zhou Ruocheng was arranged in the middle of the back seat, Zhan Xiaoyan was on the left, Zhao Qingyuan was on the right, and after everyone was seated, the car drove out.
"Where do you live now?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"We are all living in Zhao Yuanwai's house now, and now that Jiangzhou Mansion is still being rebuilt, it is impossible for us to move back." Zhan Xiaoyan replied.
"I'm a little sorry for Zhao Yuanwai." Zhou Ruocheng turned his head to look at Zhao Qingyuan and said.
"It's okay sir, it's a family, and my father won't suggest it." Zhao Qingyuan replied.
"Where is my mom now?" Zhou Ruocheng asked again.
"I was also in Zhao Mansion, I didn't go back, I said that I would make plans after you came out." Zhao Qingyuan replied again.
"Uh... My mom. Didn't cause trouble for your family, did you? Zhou Ruocheng asked again.
"How can this be, it's just that there were some forks when I was cooking a few days ago, but my father said that the Zhao Mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time." Zhao Qingyuan said with a smile.
"It seems that I have to accompany my father-in-law when I go back... Zhou Ruocheng muttered: "Then how is the current industry in our family?" ”
"Fengle Lou is still there, but there are not many girls now, and the external ones are all gone now, and the rest are a few that were bought back from Jiangyang before, but because of the previous injury, there will be some scars on the body, I am afraid that I will not be able to pick up customers in the future, and it is okay to perform a talent." Hua Xijin, who was driving the car, replied.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Ruocheng looked at this flower and asked.
"I'm fine, thank you for digging me out of the rubble, I just got a scar on my head, but the hair still grows so it doesn't matter." Hua Jijin replied, but she always felt as if she was gambling.
"Sister Hua, because you didn't go to see her once when she was unconscious, you're still angry." Zhao Qingyuan whispered in Zhou Ruocheng's ear.
"Zhao Qingyuan! Didn't you say don't talk to this guy about this? Hua Xijin still heard it, and said loudly with a red face.
Several people in the car laughed, and they were immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Now Jiangzhou has regressed, everyone wants to make money, although the court has issued subsidies, but it is still impossible to return to the previous way for a while, so the previous business of Fengle Building cannot be opened, and no one will come to consume, Sister Tang means to sell this restaurant directly and cheaply, leave some money for the family, and survive this time." Zhao Qingyuan said.
"That's good, these girls better not let them go, just arrange it at home, I owe it to them anyway." Zhou Ruocheng said.
Zhao Qingyuan nodded.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, why is it that today is also the day you are released from prison, what do you want to eat, or where do you want to go? Satisfy you? Zhan Xiaoyan said.
"Where do you want to go?" Zhou Ruocheng raised his eyes, "Then can you take me there? . . ”
