Chapter 22: A Different Life (19) Sitting at Night
Within a few days, 'Hao Stick'er found Guo Kaixin, accompanied by a middle-aged man, who didn't speak much, looking at his sturdy body, like a "fierce man".
"Xinzi."
"Uncle Hao is here, is there anything to do with me?"
"Your sentence has been commuted for you, according to the rules in the number, you can't stay outside anymore, go back with me, stay for two or three months, and you can go out."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Hao, how can I thank you."
"They are all children of their own family, what is there to thank you for."
In order to commute Guo Kaixin's sentence, Lao Hao almost tried his best to get a commutation, and finally got a result of commutation for half a year, Guo Kaixin was very happy, that middle-aged man was the one who succeeded Guo Kaixin, and in the days to come, he would be a new accomplice of 'stuffy'.
The 'stuffy' couple didn't want Guo Kaixin to leave immediately, so they gave him a 'fed up' that night, and the 'stuffy' cried during the banquet.
"Xinzi, my brother is reluctant to let you go."
Guo Kaixin patted the shoulder of the 'stuffy head', "Brother stuffy, I can't bear you, but you should be happy for me today, I will stay for two more months, and I will become a free man, and when I am released, I will definitely come back to see you." ’
"Yes, yes, Xinzi is almost there, I should be happy for him." 'Stuffy daughter-in-law', obviously doesn't look down on the new middle-aged man, she has a good impression of Guo Kaixin, but there is no banquet that will not be dispersed, Guo Kaixin is going to go out, and she is also happy for him.
The middle-aged man didn't dine with Guo Kaixin, he was an 'alternative' person, and when Guo Kaixin returned to the Westinghouse, he said, "A woman came just now and asked you to go to the small shop at the entrance of the village to find her." She has something to say. ”
Guo Kaixin guessed that it was Miss Xu, when he ran quickly to the store, Miss Xue was still playing "414" with a group of people, as soon as she saw Guo Kaixin coming, she immediately handed over the poker to the people around her, and she went out.
The path next to the entrance of the village is now also paved with "street lights", Guo Kaixin and Miss Xue are chatting while walking, tonight. The moon was in the sky, and the warm breeze was gentle, as if they had endless words.
"Guo Kaixin, will you come to see me in the future?"
"Of course it will, it's just how far away. As soon as I came out, I came to see you. ”
"Then will you bring your wife and children to see me?"
Guo Kaixin thought about it for a long time. "No, it won't. How did you remember to mention them? ”
"I'm just talking about it casually, by the way, do you want to know who the woman you were looking at the other day was?"
"Who is it?"
"It's the electrician's sister."
'Oh', Guo Kaixin didn't understand even more, how could the two sisters and brothers. In his house, the door is still locked, it seems that he misunderstood people.
"The woman still inquired about you, and she took a fancy to you. I also asked me to bring you a message, I want to deal with you. ”
"Excuse me, I can't stand it with you as a woman, it seems that the women in your village are quite special, picking people like me."
"Don't you want to know what they're doing in your house?"
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it." Guo Kaixin didn't want to spoil today's harmonious atmosphere because of outsiders.
"It's okay, I'm home, Guo Kaixin, before parting, let's shake hands again, I wish you to come out as soon as possible and be a good person again."
This is the second time that Guo Kaixin and Miss Xue shook hands, when he touched her little hand today, he found that her hand was shaking very much, and then looked at her eyes, with affection, her cheeks were even crimson, and even her ears were red. Guo Kaixin's hand was like an electric shock, and after holding it for a while, he quickly let go, he was at a loss, and simply put his hand into his trouser pocket.
"Who's out there, is that a woman?" It was the old man who shouted in the courtyard, and he saw that his daughter hadn't come home so late, so he was not very relieved, so he waited for her in the courtyard.
"I'm leaving, see Guo Kaixin again, remember to come back and see me." Miss Xue was like a little girl, jumping into the yard, and she didn't look back.
Guo Kaixin nodded, and reluctantly watched Miss Xue enter the house.
Guo Kaixin, who was used to staying outside, was very uncomfortable when he returned to the number at this time, because the "green vest" let "Hao Bang'er" take it to change the sentence for commutation, he did not return to the "gang room", the prison guard took him to an eight-person number, the smell here was very strange, and the smell of urine was everywhere.
"Let's get acquainted, this is Guo Kaixin, and he will be out in two months."
The other prisoners in the number all stared at Guo Kaixin, no one spoke, and the prisoner, who was the last boss, opened his mouth to the prison guard, "Government, what's the situation with him?" ”
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he is Lao Hao's relative, so let's arrange for him to 'sit at night'."
The eight-person number, which is considered to be in the prison of City A, has the best conditions, and generally does not arrange people to "sit at night", because one is that there are few personnel, and the other is that they are still counting on it during the day, they are "increasing efficiency" for the squadron in the number, one less person, naturally one less income is not, and now it is the same everywhere, "If you don't reduce staff and increase efficiency, where will the bonus at the end of the month be done, this is the fact." ”
According to the militarized management of the troops, if these eight people are arranged into a class, the one who "sits at night" belongs to the deputy squad leader, he is responsible for the supervision of the prisoners in the night number, and he has to find him if there is anything, and when everyone goes to work during the day, he sleeps in the number, and there is a saying that is very appropriate for him, that is, "black and white are not distinguished, and black and white are reversed".
Since the first day, Guo Kaixin took out his own good cigarettes, handed one to the brothers, and then walked to the boss's side and said, "My name is Guo Kaixin, please take care of the brothers in the future." ”
"Good smoke, how much does the box of 'Da Chongjiu' cost?" It's been a long time since a prisoner has smoked such a good cigarette.
"It's just for you, and it's not your own." These prisoners were very unfriendly to Guo Kaixin, and no one rushed to talk to him.
"Who are you Lao Hao?" The 'boss' asked about Guo Kaixin.
"I'm his nephew's brother."
"Liu Sheng?"
"Yes, that's him, you know him."
"On the road of City A, there are a few people who don't know him, and now he is ruthless, I heard that Lei Zi is at his beckon, and he will do whoever he wants."
"Oh, I don't know about this, I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, and that's when I came in this time that I got in touch with him."
"How many years have you been fighting?"
"Three years."
"Has the sentence been commuted?"
"It's done, it's reduced by half a year." As soon as I heard Guo Kaixin say, 'minus half a year', the boss in the number, looked Guo Kaixin up and down, he snuggled his mouth, meaning to let Guo Kaixin go to the side and sit down, Guo Kaixin only found out at this time that everyone was meditating and exercising, only the boss sat in the middle, and everyone else surrounded him, forming a 'semicircle', Guo Kaixin had no choice but to sit at the end of the day, his posture was very standard, and while sitting cross-legged, he was still 'spitting out the old and accepting the new'.
At nine o'clock in the night, everyone in this number went to bed, only Guo Kaixin was still sitting cross-legged, this is his job, he is a "sitting night".
After more than an hour, a prisoner on the upper bunk got out of bed, Guo Kaixin could judge that he was going to Xiaojie, and when he passed by Guo Kaixin's side, he gave Guo Kaixin a bow, which means "making a report".
Guo Kaixin also responded, and he also nodded.
One night, it was convenient to go to the toilet, drink water, talk in sleep, fart all of them, and finally at six o'clock in the morning, outside the high skylight, the sun was lit up, Guo Kaixin felt tired, and he closed his eyes.
"Wake up, Xinzi, sleepy, go to bed." The boss in the number greeted Guo Kaixin with his feet.
"Oh." Guo Kaixin stood up and stretched his waist, which had not moved all night.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep, our brothers here are fine, nothing will happen."
"Boss, I'm fine, I can still stand it." Guo Kaixin thought about it, even if he was tired, he had to persevere, there were still more than 20 days to go, and he could count with his fingers.
After breakfast, except for Guo Kaixin's "make-up sleep" in the number, the rest of the people went to participate in labor, today is to help in the brickyard, this is a tiring work, many other people in the number, are shouting that they don't like to go, fortunately, Guo Kaixin's people here, there is no 'sick leave', Guo Kaixin's sleep, he slept until the afternoon, when he saw someone to help him prepare a meal, he wanted to thank people, but the people in the number, went out again.
