The closer the New Year gets, the more people can't help but stand in front of the score board hanging on the wall of the tube in a daze, or secretly frown and pinch their fingers, or whisper with their peers, calculating their future. Although the captains are criticizing the speculative idea of avoiding small prizes and saving big prizes, many people are still calculating their own small accounts. According to Li Jing's words, since the rules are like this, using the rules to strive for better results for oneself is a kind of wisdom, as long as wisdom does not violate the law and foul play, it is righteous and bright, and it is a reasonable use.

Li Jing's method of dodging the award is very simple, get up today and fold the quilt a little crookedly, and deduct three points; If you don't put your sleeping shoes in place tomorrow, you will be deducted two points; The day after tomorrow, he stopped talking with people in the tube road, and three points were deducted; If the captain ignores him, he will whisper to the people around him in the queue, so that the captain will have to be deducted if he does not deduct it. If you really can't say a few words of civilized prohibitions, such as: Shut up! For example: What are you looking for? and so on. Or call Liang Dong "four-eyed" behind his back, call Chen Youcheng "Luo Guoer", and then deliberately let people hear it. Anyway, Liang Dong does wear glasses, and Chen Youcheng is indeed a little hunchbacked, so calling them these is not a curse. Li Jing didn't say anything scolding, he didn't even say things like "stupid Boyi", if he said it, it would not only deduct points, but if he didn't make the captain, he would have to find a conversation to let him write and check, and if the movement was too big, it would be worth the loss.

Liu Chuan still didn't follow Li Jingjiao's method. First, I feel that if I am too hollow out of my mind to be a person and do things, I will inevitably live too tired, which is disgraceful, and the stretch and upright of my favorite bamboo, and the transparency and quietness of the glass, which is also very different. Second, he couldn't get used to Li Jing in his bones, and he always stayed away, neither making him an enemy nor getting close to him as a friend. And Li Jing likes to blow too much, in case Liu Chuan doesn't fold the corners of the quilt one day and deducts points, he will definitely be able to brag to people everywhere, saying that Liu Chuan listens to him for everything. Liu Chuan thought to himself, no wonder Li Jing lost money doing business outside, he is quite good at public relations on the surface, but unfortunately the grade of talking and doing things is too low. The more low-grade people rush to set porcelain, the more annoying it is, and Li Jing is. Li Jing is the most able to get along with people in the third-district prison area, who loves to communicate with whom, who likes to listen to who "has big things" to talk to, and who is released from prison to leave the address and telephone number of his home, except for those who are poor and jingling. In fact, the bystander Qing: Most of his "related households" do not answer him seriously, but the person concerned is confused: Li Jing himself does not have this eyesight!

At the end of the year, Liu Chuan's score still reached the score line of prison rehabilitation activists. It is said that the sub-wards have also submitted their submissions to the wards and prisons in accordance with this award. Everyone's achievements and mistakes this year have a final settlement. Later, the No. 1 Prison District reported to the prison a total of five candidates for prison reform activists, of which two were from the fourth class of the No. 3 Prison District, one was Liu Chuan, and the other, of course, was the squad leader Liang Dong.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and in prisons, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival seems to be more pronounced than in society, and all sub-prison districts are preparing New Year's bulletins, planning festival arrangements, and rehearsing theatrical programs. Liu Chuan did not participate in literary rehearsals, in fact, he has always wanted to pick up the rock and roll that he threw away after graduating from college, but unfortunately not only the third prison area, but also the entire first prison area, and the entire Tianhe Prison, he can't find one or two fans in this regard. And rock has too high requirements for the band, even if it is the kind of "unplugged", it is good to have a decent drum and guitar, rock and roll is to listen to the atmosphere, that is, fever, not just make a small band or find an accompaniment with that karaoke-style play. Therefore, Liu Chuan didn't even report his name when each class organized the program, and the sub-prison area now only knows that Liu Chuan is good at basketball, but he doesn't know that he actually has a number one in singing.

But Liu Chuan was not idle, and together with Chen Youcheng, he was responsible for the production of the Spring Festival newspaper in the third prison area. The manuscript was organized by the sub-supervision area, Chen Youcheng knew art, and Liu Chuan wrote well. Chen Youcheng is responsible for the overall layout design and drawing, and Liu Chuan is responsible for writing the text. The sub-supervision area requires that this board newspaper must be of a high level and come up with new ideas, and strive to win the first place in the evaluation of the whole prison board newspaper.

In addition to dumplings, steamed buns, and pies, there are also stewed pork ribs, braised chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried hairtail, etc., just looking at the names of these dishes, it is mouth-watering. The content and schedule of the TV programs to be watched during the Spring Festival, the list of programs for the whole prison art show, and the amusement activities organized by each prison district are all posted in the tubeway. For Liu Chuan, these are not the programs that really attract him, this year's Spring Festival, what really makes him excited is that he is already qualified to win a place to go home for the holiday.

By mid-January, the quota for visiting relatives during the Spring Festival had finally been allocated, and the three places of supervision were divided into two. Three inmates in the third section have met the cut-off score for being a correctional activist, and several inmates are also eligible for competition because of various conditions. From the police officers in the sub-prison area, there are constant rumors that which two inmates can go home for the Chinese New Year this year, one looks at the scores, and the other must be selected. The score is like the qualification of an Formula 1 car race, the selection is like a qualifying race, and the approval of the prison district and the prison is the official final that determines the final winner.

Liu Chuan has been in prison for the past two years, and he has long been indifferent to fame and fortune, and his heart is as calm as water, otherwise why would he like glass fish so much. From the eyes of his heart, he began to advocate the attitude of life that is not as dynamic as quiet, and admired Jiang Taigong's philosophy of life that he only wants to go straight and does not want to seek in the bend. But this time, like several other prisoners in the top ranks, he was cautious everywhere in those days, and actively took the lead in all kinds of work, for fear that he would not happen to encounter a mistake the size of a sesame seed.

At this critical time, Liu Chuan handed over a confession of repentance to the sub-prison district. Liu Chuan has not written a confession of repentance since he was imprisoned, and now he has suddenly written it, in the eyes of his competitors, it is not utilitarian speculation, what is it?

A confession of guilt and repentance should be written by a prisoner during the period of serving a sentence and reforming his or her sentence.

But Liu Chuan never wrote.

Zhong Tianshui reminded him that Feng Ruilong had educated him, and Pang Jiandong had asked him, but no one forced him to write.

After Liu Chuan was imprisoned, he went from negative to positive, from despair to hope, from unsuitable to adaptable, in fact, this is the same curve that many prisoners have experienced in their careers. Now, he has walked out of the trough, climbed the flat ground, climbed the mountain, and has become a celebrity of the Heavenly Prison, but whenever he looks back on his missteps and crimes, he is still a little aggrieved and a little unlucky. Can a confession of repentance be written like this, no! If you really write it like this, you must still be a target for refusing to admit guilt and accept the sentence, and if you criticize it, it is better not to write it.

However, Liu Chuan, as a reform activist, has never written a confession of repentance, which is indeed a bit of a joke, and even Deng Tieshan asked Zhong Tianshui privately about this matter: Hasn't Liu Chuan written a confession yet? Zhong Tianshui shook his head and said no. Deng Tieshan's face was a little heavy, but he just nodded and didn't say a word. From Deng Tieshan to Zhong Tianshui, to Feng Ruilong and Pang Jiandong, they all adopted a blind and appeaseful attitude towards this matter, Pang Jiandong also talked to Liu Chuan at the beginning and made requests, and later learned from Zhong Tianshui that Liu Chuan and the mother and daughter of the single family had a bad relationship, all because they replaced an errand that should have been completed by him, so they woke up like a dream. Liu Chuan's words of "received on behalf of others" when he quarreled with him for Ji Wenzhu are still in his ears, and now he knows that what he said is true. Since knowing this inside story, Pang Jiandong has never mentioned Liu Chuan's confession of repentance.

But as the person in charge of the prison where Liu Chuan is serving his sentence, Zhong Tianshui has always been unsure about the confession. Because from a legal point of view, no matter how many objective reasons Liu Chuan has, he has committed a crime after all, and the court's judgment is fair and valid after all. It is the responsibility of correctional officers to help Liu Chuan unearth the subjective causes of his crimes. Therefore, Zhong Tianshui thought about it again and again, and on the day when Liu Chuan's score reached the score line of prison reform activists, he still called him to the psychological counseling room, and talked carefully about his views on Liu Chuan's original crime.

He said Liu Chuan, don't talk about you, no one can escape if they meet the mother and daughter of the single family, and if I run into them, I'm afraid I will be just as unlucky. But I'm definitely not going to let myself get here in the end, that's the difference between the two of us, do you admit it?

Liu Chuan said admitted. In fact, I also knew that it should be solved according to the law, but in the final analysis, I still have a weak sense of law and I haven't studied law well, or I would have chosen to study law now. After a pause, Liu Chuan said again: Zhong Da, didn't you just ask me to write a confession of repentance, you can rest assured, I will write it.

Zhong Tianshui smiled and said: Of course, it's good to be able to write, but don't write like that, don't just say that you have a weak legal concept. You are a student at OUHK, and your sense of law should not be weak. The reason for your sin, let me say, is caused by a defect in your character, and you have to look for the root cause in this area.

Liu Chuan said: There is a slogan posted in the tube road of our sub-prison area, and I have been reading it for more than two years: sow character, reap destiny. I know I have a bad character, but my crime depends on my character, and the captain should say that I avoid the important and take it lightly.

Zhong Tianshui said: No, if a person dares to say that his character is flawed, it is much more sincere than saying that his legal concept is weak and sincere. Let's talk about it today is also a psychological consultation, the personality in psychology, also called personality, refers to the sum of a person's relatively stable psychological characteristics with a certain tendency, including adaptability to the external environment and other people, the degree of friendliness or hostility, and so on. Of course, to put it mildly, personality depends on your outlook on life and values, so the quality of your personality is too important for a person. Like you, you can't stand the anger, you can't stand the stimulation, and your self-control is okay or even strong in normal times, but at a special moment, it becomes very weak. As soon as it is stimulated, it is easy to deviate from the perception of things, and the behavior is also deviated from it, which is a defect of character and will. When you were first imprisoned, I knew at a glance that your personality, this kind of personality, was too flawed. I can see that there are objective factors for those unfortunate things before and after you are imprisoned, but there are also very subjective factors, and you have to analyze and analyze them yourself. The purpose of confession and repentance is to find the root cause of one's sin and perfect oneself. Sin is a legal concept, confession and repentance, both are psychological concepts, ideological concepts, and you can't be so resistant.

Liu Chuan grinned slightly and said: I didn't resist.

Liu Chuan said that he didn't resist, and after listening to Zhong Da's psychological counseling conversation, he really didn't resist.

So, he wrote a confession of repentance, and after writing it, he handed it over to Pang Jiandong.

As a result, some of the prisoners believed that Liu Chuan was going home for the Chinese New Year.

But to be honest, Liu Chuan really wants to go home for the New Year.

Because his only relative, his grandmother, is in a nursing home, she can't do without a wheelchair and a nurse, and she can't come to the prison to see him now. Despite his hierarchy, he has long had the right to reunite with his loved ones.

Ji Wenzhu can't look at him either, she is not his relative, and she is not qualified to come to see him all the time except for the special approval last time.

But he misses them. He misses them every day. He dreamed that he walked out of this high-walled prison freely, celebrated the Spring Festival with them, made dumplings together, watched TV together, went shopping together, held Wenzhu in his left hand, pushed his grandmother with his right hand, and watched children running like kites in Tiananmen Square. This dream, every day, every night, every moment, tempted him to restless.

Once Chen Youcheng chatted with him and analyzed his situation for him. According to Chen Youcheng's analysis, Liu Chuan ranked first among the four prisoners who were most likely to be allowed to go home to visit relatives, followed by Liang Dong, the squad leader. Chen Youcheng said that Liang Dong should have taken the advantage, because Liang Dong has been a celebrity who has been reformed by Tianjian for many years, and he was approved to go home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival last year, but because his mother went to his sister in other places to see a doctor, he took the initiative to give up the quota, and it should be his turn this year. However, Liu Chuan put forward two opinions to the sub-prison district at the public review meeting on prison affairs a few days ago, one is that he hopes to increase the wattage of the fluorescent lamp in the prison number so that everyone can study on their own at night; The other is to organize the contents of the storeroom to be dried regularly to avoid moldy and smelly. This was the first time in many years that a prisoner had a prisoner publicly give his opinion to the prison authorities at a meeting, and the response among the prisoners was very great, and most of the prisoners privately believed that this practice would have an adverse impact on Liu Chuan's return home during the Spring Festival, and a small number of police officers did think that Liu Chuan had taken the lead and showed his thorns and spoke too loudly, and in the final analysis, the identity of the criminal was not correct. However, Zhong Tianshui corrected this statement at the cadres and police meeting of the prison district, holding that the openness of prison affairs means to sincerely listen to the opinions of prisoners and their relatives on supervision work, establish a supervision mechanism, and adopt prisoners' opinions if they are reasonable. Adopting correct opinions will not only not reduce the prestige of the people, but will also win the trust of the people and increase the prestige.

Soon, these two opinions were implemented, and everyone was happy, and many prisoners in each class were in the diaries that they were required to write every day, thanks to the care and love of **, Liu Chuan also became the most popular person in those days. This happened on the eve of the Spring Festival family visit selection, and it was of course very beneficial for Liu Chuan to defeat other opponents, especially Liang Dong, who had been a squad leader for many years but rarely spoke for prisoners. Because of Liang Dong and Liu Chuan, only one person could win in the end. There are a total of two places in the three-division prison area, and it is impossible for all four classes to be monopolized.

Although Chen Youcheng has always been a rotten mother-in-law, his analysis and argumentation still made Liu Chuan very happy. Maybe he was happy too early, he was so happy and sad when he was happy, he came back from work in Sunshine Supermarket that evening, and was told by Sun Peng as soon as he entered the prison that his glass fish that did not invite disaster or cause trouble, suddenly died inexplicably.

Liu Chuan was stunned by this bad news, and he saw that the prisoners who had just returned from work were gathered in front of the fish tank and looked into the tank. Some people also looked back and looked at Liu Chuan sympathetically. Liu Chuan squeezed up and looked into the fish tank, his beloved "glass" was really head down, crooked in the corner of the fish tank, Liu Chuan only trembled and said: "What's going on, this is ......" and couldn't say anything.

I don't know who called the captain of the patrol over, and the captain looked into the fish tank and said, "Yo, no." If it doesn't work, just fish it out. If you don't fish it out and kill other fish, who raises it? The captain asked, seeing that everyone was looking at Liu Chuan, the captain said, "Liu Chuan raised it?" Liu Chuan, how did you raise this? Look at the fish in other people's houses, aren't they all quite lively, this is a living thing, you have to be careful to raise it. ”

The words of the captain of the patrol were actually casual and casual, but these words caught some prisoners and linked the matter to Liu Chuan's state of reform, and even linked it to visiting relatives during this year's Spring Festival......

That night, Liu Chuan didn't eat dinner, he fished out the "glass", tore a blank piece of paper from the diary, carefully wrapped it, and placed it next to his pillow. He didn't sleep all night that day, he always opened the paper bag and looked at his dead "glass", and he shed a few tears for the "glass". When he talked about it later, I laughed at him. He said what to laugh at, at that time, the only people who lived by his side and could make him his own incarnation and relatives were "glass" and the pot of bamboo. He has a deep relationship with them, and if it weren't for the "glass", it would stink, and he would be reluctant to bury it.

The next day, he asked Pang Jiandong to take it with him and buried the glass at the base of the wall downstairs in their first prison area. Looking up from that place, there was a small window facing the fourth shift supervisor on the third floor.

In those days, the disaster was not a single line, and the bamboo began to turn yellow somehow, withering day by day, and Liu Chuan was also like being beaten by frost in those days, guarding the flower pot and leaving his soul. When making a board report with Chen Youcheng, Chen Youcheng mysteriously bit Liu Chuan's ear, and Chen Youcheng affirmed that "glass" was by no means a death or suicide, but a death from homicide, a deliberate murder. Behind the withering of the "glass" violent Wenzhu, there is obviously an ulterior conspiracy, and the murderer must be inside the fourth class, this murderer is none other than Liang Dong, the squad leader of the fourth class.

Liang Dong? How can it be!

How could it be! Chen Youcheng's words are conclusive. Although Liu Chuan also knew that he was playing right and wrong again, "right and wrong" is not necessarily not "facts", and Chen Youcheng's suspicions have been confirmed by Liu Chuan from others. At noon that day, when Liu Chuan returned to the prison for lunch, he fed "glass", and "glass" was still healthy and intact at that time, and he swam out of the aquatic plants to find him. In the afternoon, everyone went to the big classroom to listen to the situation education class, and when the class was about to end, the squad leader Liang Dong was called back to the sub-prison area by a team leader to move things to the storage room, so he was the only one who had time to go back to the prison to commit crimes. As for the motive for committing the crime, do you need to talk about it, according to Chen Youcheng's analysis, Liang Dong is going crazy now if he wants to go home for the holidays, because his mother has cancer and may not survive this winter. Liang Dong is in his forties and has not yet married, although he is insidious, he is a filial son, he is too good to his mother, and his mother is too good to be good to him. Li Jing also said that he saw Liang Dong talking to Pang Jiandong and Feng Ruilong about going home for the Spring Festival, and they cried bitterly. Liang Dong must know that among the two places in the third-division prison area, the fourth class can only occupy one seat, and the only opponent on his way home is "General Liu"!

A few days later, Wenzhu also died. As with the glass, the cause of death is unknown.

In the past few days, the things that happened around Liu Chuan were more and more strange and suspicious, and the socks he hung at the head of the bed were thrown on the ground by someone for a while, and they were so dirty that they had to be washed again; After a while, he obviously folded the quilt and didn't know who had deflated the edges and corners, so that the captain of the patrol could teach him a lesson; After a while, on the bookshelf that Liu Chuan was responsible for cleaning, the books that had been placed were suddenly crooked...... These things are always the first to be discovered and criticized by the squad leader Liang Dong, and the captain will definitely know it immediately, and it will inevitably deduct points. Therefore, Liu Chuan gradually became convinced of Chen Youcheng, Li Jing, and Sun Peng's analysis. He became more and more convinced that the death of Glass and Wenzhu was unexpected, and nine times out of ten it was Liang Dong's poisonous hand. He also saw that Liang Dong had made so many small moves, and the purpose he pursued was not to deduct Liu Chuan a few points, these endless conspiracies and tricks were trying to provoke Liu Chuan, make him unable to control himself, let him find someone to quarrel, contradict the captain, and cause conflicts.

But Liu Chuan has been enduring and has been enduring it.

The day before the democratic evaluation of the Spring Festival visit candidates, Liu Chuan finally couldn't help it, because the afternoon of this day was the day when the whole prison uniformly selected the board newspapers. On the basis of repeated design and experimentation, he and Chen Youcheng used four nights to produce an official board report for the preparation of the competition according to the plan approved by the sub-prison area. Liu Chuan writes in three tones, black, red, and blue, and three different pen styles, two-thirds in Chinese and one-third in English. For four whole nights, every word was drawn stroke by stroke, extremely serious. As long as there is a slight defect in one word, change the paper and rewrite it all. Their hard work has been appreciated by many prisoners and police officers in the sub-prison area, especially Liu Chuan, who wrote the reform aphorisms created by each class in the sub-prison district in Chinese and English, such as: With a book in hand, the evil is far away; Such as: speak quietly, be a man with an atmosphere; Another example: the heart of the world should be wide, and the transformation of the body should be strict; Another example: only find the direction for the new students, not make excuses for evil...... Wait a minute. There is also the phoenix nirvana pattern painted by Chen Youcheng, which is like a miniature of the sculpture on Tianjian Square.

Liu Chuan could see that the head of the sub-prison area attached extraordinary importance to the production level of the board newspaper, and Feng Ruilong also went to other sub-prison areas to explore the truth and reality. It is said that the newspapers of the other sub-districts are at least as refined as they are in the third sub-districts. Liu Chuan and Chen Youcheng were very happy, just waiting for the golden doll to win the jackpot, but just before the noon meal, Liu Chuan blinked an eye, and the board newspaper that had been produced did not know who made a cut. Liu Chuan really couldn't help it this time, and shouted loudly in the tube: "Who got this, you have the ability to stand up, what is it to always stab a knife in the back!" Pang Jiandong, the captain of the barrel on duty, immediately stopped Liu Chuan: "Liu Chuan, what are you yelling!" Who are you yelling at? Pang Jiandong walked to the board newspaper, saw the opening, and saw Liu Chuan's face red and trembling, he didn't reprimand again, but ordered Liu Chuan: "You go back first!" Liu Chuan endured it for a long time before he said, "Yes." ”

Liu Chuan sat on the small bench of the prison number, watching Liang Dong go in and out of the prison number, looking nonchalant. Liu Chuan hated it so much that he really wanted to go up and give him a slap in the face, and then talk about it first, even if he couldn't go back to the Spring Festival, even if he didn't sit on the top spot in the score, even if he entered the training team, even if all the previous achievements of this year's performance were wasted, he had to take this breath first! Chen Youcheng was also so angry that his face was crooked, he couldn't provoke Liang Dong, so he came to pick up Liu Chuan's fire, rubbed against Liu Chuan's side and said: "It's hard work now, I'll be evaluated after a while, can this still be carried out, let's abstain." Liu Chuan, I'm eating your hanging, and I don't compete with him for the Spring Festival to visit relatives, who will I provoke. ”

Pang Jiandong appeared at the door of the prison at this time and asked Liu Chuan to go out. He led Liu Chuan to the end of the cylinder and walked towards the broken board. Liu Chuan saw that Zhong Tianshui, the head of the first prison district, was here, standing in front of the board newspaper, not knowing whether he was admiring the design and production of the board newspaper, or examining the hard wound that was cut. Seeing Liu Chuan coming, he turned his head and smiled at Liu Chuan.

He said, "Liu Chuan. ”

Liu Chuan said, "Here." ”

Lao Zhong said: "You made this newspaper? ”

Liu Chuan said: "The masthead was drawn by Chen Youcheng, and the words were written by me. ”

Lao Zhong said: "How did it break, it will be evaluated after a while, and you will just carry it out." ”

Lao Zhong's language was critical, his tone was negotiable, and his expression was ridiculous, Liu Chuan was angry at the time, and he couldn't tell what Zhong Da meant, so he couldn't help but use a loud voice that could be heard by the whole prison tube, and shouted excitedly: "I suggest that the sub-prison area should take a good look at who is making trouble!" I think this is sabotage, a ...... of collective honor."

Lao Zhong interrupted Liu Chuan: "If you can't find out, I think this matter is likely to be undetectable, ask who doesn't admit it, then what should I do?" ”

Liu Chuan's anger was stuck, and he couldn't answer.

The old bell's voice remained calm, and he continued, "Can you hurry up and redo it again?" Seeing Liu Chuan's reluctant look with a straight face, he turned him again: "Otherwise, how can I say that your sex is not good, when you are wronged, when you are offended, can you not be angry?" Can you think about it first and use what method to solve the problem first! ”

Liu Chuan lowered his head and still did not answer.

Lao Zhong smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it's still too late, hurry up and redo it again, what can be done, what can be done, how about it?" ”

Lao Zhong said this incident so ordinarily, and did not regard it as a serious incident, and did not let people investigate it severely. Moreover, he spoke again about Liu Chuan's personality. Liu Chuan had no choice but to calm down. After he calmed down, he thought that this matter was indeed difficult to investigate, so what could he do if he found out? Even if it was found out that it was Liang Dong who cut it, he would not admit that he deliberately made it. Accidentally scratched a board, how much fault is there? So Zhong Da just used this matter to talk about Liu Chuan's personality, and didn't say anything else. Liu Chuan thought, maybe Zhong Da still wants him to understand that many disputes that people encounter in life, even if they are small disputes, disputes that are very clear about right and wrong, often cannot be resolved, and in the end they can only digest it by themselves, and can only endure it by themselves. Only by enduring it can we turn the situation in a good direction. Liu Chuan also asked himself: Can you bear it? Can you let the stone that was pressed on your chest fall to the ground? Can you let this thing hold your breath, let it pass as soon as your heart is wide?

Before Liu Chuan could come to a conclusion, Zhong Da had already turned around and left, walked a few steps and turned back, and asked Liu Chuan again:

"Liu Chuan, I told you before that there are three magic weapons for getting along with people, do you still remember?"

Liu Chuan said: "Yes. ”

The old bell said, "You tell me about it." ”

Liu Chuan said: "Yes." The three magic weapons for getting along with others are sincerity, rules, and humility. ”

Lao Zhong still said calmly: "Yes, you remember." He smiled: "It means that you can do it!" ”

Liu Chuan didn't have lunch that day, and he rewrote all the words that had taken him four nights to write on the newly framed cardboard in less than half an hour faster than he usually usually wrote in his diary. Chen Youcheng grumbled, and hurriedly cut out the patterns he had drawn for the matrophies and tails and pasted them on the new board newspapers. They barely had time to proofread it, and the undried board was carried to a sub-cell. This year's board newspaper competition was carried out in the form of a roving exhibition, and the first location of the touring exhibition was the tube road of a sub-prison area.

Not counting the inmates sub-prison area and the introspection squadron training squadron, etc., there are a total of nine sub-prison areas in the whole prison, and each sub-prison area publishes a board report, and the top three are the champions, runners-up and third runners-up, and the fourth to sixth are awarded excellence awards. This board newspaper in the third district of the prison district did not win the ranking, nor did it win the award. However, the Third Prison District later added 10 points to Liu Chuan and Chen Youcheng, commending them for their will to "fight with all their might" and the spirit of "never say die".

If the board is sent out, it cannot be changed, which is the established rule of fair competition. The board report of the third prison area ended up empty-handed, and the main problem was that the production was not refined, and the original advantage became a disadvantage, although the captains also said that the emphasis was on participation and other steps, Liu Chuan was still a little annoyed in his heart. When he went to the Sunshine Supermarket to collect money the next day, he almost found the wrong silver taels for several prisoners as before, but fortunately, Xiaoke happened to be in the supermarket to reconcile the accounts and reminded him in time, so that Liu Chuan avoided mistakes that should not have happened.

Xiaoke criticized Liu Chuan: "Do you have any ideological problems again, why are you uncertain?" ”

Liu Chuan said: "No, no. ”

Xiao Ke said: "Isn't there anything absent-minded? ”

Liu Chuan bowed his head and did not speak.

Xiao Ke didn't force him, but said, "Be careful." ”

Liu Chuan said: "Yes." ”

When the supermarket was closed that day, Xiao Ke listened to the police who escorted Liu Chuan back to the sub-prison area, and knew that this day was very important to Liu Chuan. This day is the day when the third district of the prison district conducts democratic evaluation of the prisoners who return home during the Spring Festival. This year's review adopted a back-to-back approach, and all the candidates nominated by the sub-prison district were all avoided, except for Liu Chuan, who went to work in the Sunshine Supermarket, and the other candidates were also arranged by the sub-prison district to participate in the labor in the flower room.

Xiao Ke pretended to be casual and asked the policeman: "What is the result of the evaluation, does Liu Chuan score high?" ”

The captain of the third district replied, "When I came out, the classes had just finished their meeting, and the situation was being summed up. After a pause, the captain suddenly said such a sentence for some reason, which startled Xiao Ke.

"You definitely don't want Liu Chuan to go home for the Spring Festival."

Xiao Ke was stunned for a long time, and didn't figure out the taste: "Why?" ”

"Liu Chuan is familiar with collecting accounts here, and as soon as he leaves during the Spring Festival, he still has to change people here, isn't it troublesome."

Xiao Ke breathed a sigh of relief, smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said: "I want him to go home, he has a grandmother, I miss him a lot, if he can go back to see it during the Spring Festival, it's good." Besides, I also go home to rest during the Spring Festival, if something goes wrong in the supermarket, whoever is on duty is responsible, it's my business, stupid! ”
