twenty-one

Since then, Liu Chuan has been able to receive money from "Ji Wenzhu" every month, ranging from one hundred and two hundred. "Ji Wenzhu" also sent him underwear, underwear, sweaters, socks or something. The money and things, once a month, like a comet, like a ray of sunshine, always passed through his hungry heart warmly at a fixed hour.

Three months later, Liu Chuan's account had accumulated 500 yuan. But he is not like Li Jing and Chen Youcheng in their class, and they use up the quota every month for purchases. The soap they use and the underwear they wear are all good, and the snacks in their mouths are not interrupted for a day. Liu Chuan doesn't have the habit of eating snacks anyway, he is still the same as in the past, extremely economical, there is no special need, and the money in the account is not spent. One day, three months later, he put a note in the police interview box and asked for a conversation. Although the content of the discussion was extremely simple, it made Pang Jiandong, the policeman in charge, feel very surprised, and it was very difficult.

Liu Chuan asked to talk, just for one thing, that is, to beg Pang Jiandong for permission to let him take out all the five hundred yuan in his account and buy a handful of the best roses for him in the flower shop outside. Because next month is Ji Wenzhu's birthday, he wants to beg his captain to find a delivery company to deliver this bouquet of roses to Ji Wenzhu's house on Ji Wenzhu's birthday. He didn't know if Pang Jiandong agreed with this matter, whether he could decide, whether he wanted to ask the above, and how long it would take to ask the above, so he had to put forward this request in advance.

Pang Jiandong did not agree.

The reason for his disagreement was definitely not out of jealousy and revenge, because the routine of prisons has always been that prisoners' relatives and friends send money to prisoners, and there has never been a case of prisoners sending money to relatives and friends outside. Asking prison officers to buy gifts for relatives and friends has never had a precedent to follow, and it also violated the "nine prohibitions" of prison officers and police. Article 7 of the "Nine Prohibitions" is: It is forbidden to violate the regulations and deliver letters or articles to criminals without permission. He said to Liu Chuan, I will have the opportunity to tell her on your behalf in the future, but you still keep the money. Didn't you sign up for a correspondence course in law, and you should always buy some books in the future. Learn more knowledge, get a good score in the exam, save enough points to get a commutation, and go out early is not better than what?

Yes, stepping up the accumulation of points and commuting the sentence is a leisurely thing for a prisoner, and this is the only thing that is great. From the day Ji Wenzhu came to visit Liu Chuan in prison, he began to concentrate and go all out to redouble his efforts for the score. Points are the lifeblood of the "big wall people"! In the past, Liu Chuan always looked at "points", the most important key word among prisoners, with disdain. Now, earning points has become the goal and core of his daily life. In addition to actively working every day and not producing waste, he always strives to be the first in the class in the number of folded pages every day. In the production evaluation at the end of the month of the whole sub-supervision area, we should also strive to rank in the top three, and then sit on the second and look at one. Whether you are the first in the class or the first in the sub-prison area, there are extra points. Feng Ruilong, the head of the sub-prison district, once summed up Liu Chuan's changes in rhyme at a meeting of inmates, saying that Liu Chuan used to work out of helplessness, and now he always wants to compete when he works. The excellent ranking greatly increased Liu Chuan's self-confidence, making him feel that as long as he concentrates on what he wants to do well, he will be able to do it well.

In terms of earning points, in addition to working to get a place, he also applied for a correspondence course with a bachelor's degree in law. There are 25 courses in the law major, and 12 individual subjects must be examined, and according to the regulations of the scoring method for the evaluation of offenders, 300 points can be added for each single subject examined, and if you take two exams in a year, you can earn 600 points. If there is no accidental deduction of points, even if he can't get the title of prison reform activist every year, he can at least get a prison commendation, and he can't even think of prison praise now.

Liu Chuan was imprisoned in the autumn, and a year and a half later, in the spring of the third year, Liu Chuan found that he had become accustomed to living in this high-walled power grid compound, and he was accustomed to the living environment here and the daily morning and dusk routines. He got out of the fear and anxiety of the early days of his imprisonment, and the feeling of living like a year was gone.

The only thing he was not used to was those prisoners with the same name, and he never disdained to be with them after a year and a half of living together. If he has put himself in the right position in front of the captains and recognized his identity, then in front of the prisoners, he still maintains his original arrogance. He thought that he and them were not all the way, there were more than a dozen people in their four classes, and he barely liked any of them.

Including his squad leader Liang Dong, although Liang Dong has been a celebrity in the transformation of the Heavenly Prison in the past two years, and has won many awards including the bureau reform activist, as well as the supervisor and the supervisor, Liu Chuan for some reason, he always felt that this person was very yin, too heavy on fame and fortune, and too jealous. If someone is better than him in any way, he congratulates and praises on the surface, and privately cleans up the dismantling of the stage and makes trouble, this kind of dark psychology, no one can tell when it fell.

In addition to the squad leader, Chen Youcheng must not be guarded against. Chen Youcheng is a guy who likes to stir up trouble, just in Liu Chuan's ears, I don't know how many gossip has been spread, nothing more than who said bad things about Liu Chuan behind his back, and who threw notes into the report box to expose Liu Chuan. Although Liu Chuan was also very angry when he heard it, he always remembered the teachings that his grandmother had repeatedly instilled in the past: Those who say right and wrong must be right and wrong, and if you can say bad things about others in front of you today, you can say bad things about you in front of others tomorrow. This kind of person's friend and foe are constantly changing, and what remains unchanged is only the big mouth, and it is only his habit to speak ill of others. When he says bad things about you, he doesn't necessarily hate you, but he doesn't say it's uncomfortable, it's just a habit, so it's even more terrifying.

In fact, Chen Youcheng's destruction was ruined on his mouth, he was sentenced to prison the year before last, sentenced to defamation and false accusation, sentenced to seven years for several crimes, and has already served four years in prison. is also because of this rotten mouth, and the sentence has not been reduced once.

There is also Sun Peng, although he and Liu Chuan didn't fight anymore, Liu Chuan still didn't mention how annoying he was. His image in Liu Chuan's heart that is difficult to change is that he is a Beijing gangster who thinks he is Niu Boyi, who is uneducated and always acts as the boss, and he wants to save face and suffer crimes. A while ago, he violated the anti-smoking regulations and picked up a cigarette butt thrown on the ground by a person who was delivering goods outside when he was helping in the canteen, but he was found to have almost been sent to the strict management team for training. In fact, this cigarette could have been smoked so that people didn't know it, but Sun Peng had a flamboyant personality, and he was afraid that anyone would dare to shout if others didn't know him. I smoked cigarette butts, and I had to be reckless when I returned to work, bragging to others that I "played well and wouldn't show up", and now there are ways to "shovel things", and "comfortable for a while". As a result, people reported it. Except for Sun Peng himself, everyone in the class knows that the whistleblower is the squad leader Liang Dong. And the one who chewed the root of his tongue in Liang Dong's ear was Chen Youcheng, a buddy who usually ate and drank with Sun Peng.

So not only Liu Chuan, but many people think that Sun Peng is not Niu Boyi, but a stupid Boyi.

There is also Li Jing, who committed fraud and came in, because he had been trading in society for a few days in the past, so he was richer with the people in his class all day long, and the food he had eaten was more expensive than whom. He said that when he got married, he rented a Cadillek, and also rented a Mercedes-Benz 300, using Mercedes-Benz to open the road in front, and he and his daughter-in-law sat in the back of the Caddy, which is called a prestige! That's called a big deal! Most of the prisoners in Class 4 are very poor, but for some reason, they always like to surround Li Jing and listen to him. Now Liu Chuan understands why so many ordinary people love to watch emperor dramas, business war dramas, and idol dramas when watching TV, everyone lives at the bottom of the market, looks at the pomp and circumstance of the upper class, and the luxury of the rich can somewhat satisfy some fantasies and provoke some desires. Liu Chuan never surrounded Li Jing anyway, and whenever he bragged, he couldn't hide, and he always closed his eyes and listened. Only once, Li Jingli counted which place in Beijing had the most expensive food, and in that series of restaurant names, he suddenly mentioned Wanhe City. The three words Wanhecheng made Liu Chuan reflexively open his eyes, and his heart fluttered for a moment. I didn't even remember what place it was for a while, but I felt very familiar, as if it was a chance encounter in my childhood, a fantasy in the game. Li Jing said that the bird's nest in Wanhecheng is the most expensive, and it is not delicious at all, it is purely to sell its brand, and it is the style of Wanhecheng. The people who go to Wanhe City want to save face, so they are willing to be slaughtered by it. He also went with him once because a big boss invited his wife. Li Jing summed up that buying clothes in the underground shopping mall of the Wangfu Hotel, eating seafood in Wanhe City, and taking a sauna on the spot after eating are all things that only a stupid Bo Yi can do with more money.

Liu Chuan didn't get together with them to chat, and the prisoners all thought he had a different temper. Moreover, everyone knows that Liu Chuan's family is the poorest, he is a bitter child, and he has never seen much of the world. After being imprisoned for more than a year, his family didn't send money, and Liu Chuan almost never spent a penny on it for more than a year, which was really miserable. The money Liu Chuan is spending now is also sent by his girlfriend. Because Liu Chuan looks okay. Chen Youcheng muttered in Liu Chuan's ear, he said Liu Chuan, you know what they say about you, they all said that you used to eat soft rice, that you originally let the family pick up the "official clothes" for a woman, and that you later fought and folded in for a woman. Liu Chuan obviously knew that Chen Youcheng was chewing his tongue again, but when he heard it, he was still so angry that he was uncomfortable for several days.

But compared with other classes, the people in the fourth class are still fuel-efficient lamps in the third prison area. Other classes make trouble, supervise each other, and even scold and beat each other, which occurs from time to time. In the past six months, there have been a total of five incidents in which prisoners were found to have illegally possessed contraband, and none of them were in the fourth shift. A while ago, there was an underworld gang named Miao Shen in the first class who also took the lead in making trouble, and when he was cooking in the tube road, he said that the steamed buns were rancid, and a group of people from the first and third classes resolutely refused to eat them, so that the captain brought the dietitian of the canteen and the cadres of the life and health department to test it, proving that there was no problem with the steamed buns. As a result, they didn't listen, but still blocked the lunch box and shouted, and they had to come and deal with it in person, so that they couldn't eat normally in the fourth and fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth classes. Miao Shen, a prisoner who wants to jump into the oil pan and roll the nail board at every turn, is annoying, but fortunately, Class 4 has not encountered this type of guy. Sun Peng, the wildest in the fourth class, is also a person who doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone, and he also fights alone, at least he doesn't have the problem of ganging up.

Except for Sun Peng, even if the rest of the people in the fourth class have nothing to do, most of them are wilted. The squad leader Liang Dong has been in prison for many years and has never made trouble, while Chen Youcheng only picks up trouble, and he will never make trouble. Li Jing is blowing so badly that if he really wants to encounter something, the gentleman will not move. In the past, Liu Chuan had an accident, but now he has also changed his ways and gradually settled down, and the only one who is still likely to have trouble is Sun Peng.

Moreover, Sun Peng did have a reason for the trouble. The reason for that is still his wife and children. Except for his wife and children, Sun Peng has no one outside who can make him care a little.

When Sun Peng was first imprisoned, his wife wanted to divorce him. But for some reason, I didn't leave. Divorce may just be an angry word during the visit, and you may also be afraid that you will divorce and remarry and wronged your children. After a year of absence, his wife suddenly wrote back to him. He thought it was angry again, and his heart was blocked for a while, but he didn't take it too seriously. It wasn't until his wife had written a letter two weeks earlier, and had taken it quite seriously during subsequent visits, that he was really anxious.

His wife is also very practical, in the past, the family's source of livelihood mainly relied on Sun Peng to earn money as a cook outside, and he could also bring the chicken head and duck rack in the restaurant to the house every once in a while. After Sun Peng was imprisoned, his wife had a salary of 800 yuan a month, and she had to support herself and have to raise a child, although Sun Peng's parents could also send 2300 yuan to the child every month, but the child was sick several times a while ago and couldn't make ends meet. In this year, many men have approached Sun Peng's wife, saying that as long as she divorces and remarries, she can eat and wear without worry. Sun Peng's wife hesitated again and again, discussed with her parents again and again, and finally wrote the letter to Sun Peng, and when she came to the prison to meet, she officially filed for divorce from Sun Peng.

This time it's true.

Sun Peng's wife said: You are in charge of eating and living, cotton jackets and cotton pants are all haired, and our mother and mother are also looking for ** to eat and drink cotton jackets and cotton pants ** tube, so now we can only care who cares about us and who we follow. We have no other way, if you can come out in half a month, we can still tighten our belts and wait for you, your sentence of ten years is less than two years, and by the time you come out, I will already be boiled into white bones.

On the second day of the meeting with the relatives, Sun Peng threw three notes in the interview box of the prison warden, first to see the prison chief Zhong Tianshui, and then to see the prison director Deng Tieshan, and on the third day, he found the policeman Pang Jiandong, and impatiently urged the prison director to meet him, but Pang Jiandong was reprimanded with a straight face: The prison director is not in charge of you alone, you can see you whenever you want, you can wait slowly! On the morning of the fourth day, the prison office sent a message asking Feng Ruilong, the head of the sub-prison district, to talk to Sun Peng first and find out what he wanted to talk about. At noon, before Feng Ruilong could talk, Sun Peng couldn't help but make a fuss.

On this day, the prisoners in the third prison area were all working in the pressing workshop, and before lunch, Feng Ruilong ordered to gather and comment, and when everyone put down the tools in their hands and gathered at the door of the workshop, Sun Peng suddenly occupied the thinner warehouse, and refused to come out with a table against the door. He got a disposable lighter out of nowhere, and threatened to set the storeroom on fire until he saw the warden immediately. Feng Ruilong ordered the police to immediately bring all the prisoners back to the prison cell, and at the same time rushed to the warehouse and persuaded them to surrender through the door. When Deng Tieshan, the prison warden, and Zhong Tianshui, the head of the first prison district, rushed over after receiving the report, Sun Peng's requirements had been further raised, and the prison director did not plan to meet him, but changed his mind to see the prison director. The police officers opened the crack in the door to see Sun Peng dumping buckets of thinner on the ground and turning the flame of the lighter high. The choking smell of the thinner can be smelled within 100 meters, and once it sees fire, it may detonate the entire warehouse. Prison warden Deng Tieshan risked being blown up and stood outside the door of the warehouse with Feng Ruilong, Feng Ruilong understood, Sun Peng said that it was still about his wife and children, he asked the prison to approve him to go home on parole, he said that if his wife remarried, he didn't want to live anymore, so it was better to light a fire now and have a good time. While Deng Tieshan patiently softened Sun Peng's attitude, Deputy Prison Director Qiang Binglin and Prison District Chief Zhong Tianshui quickly mobilized police forces and prepared for a strong attack without hesitation. After a short discussion of the plan for the assault, it was decided that fire prevention and explosion prevention should be given priority. They ordered the police to pull out all the fire hoses in the workshop, and then brought in a fire truck to quietly drive out of the window of the thinner warehouse, and the high-pressure hose on the car was also connected to the nearby water source. When everything was ready, Sun Peng's attitude had softened, and desperate cries replaced wild shouts, and then began to lower his demands. He no longer asks for parole, but asks ** to make decisions for him and persuade his wife. Soon his requirements were further lowered, and that request almost became a kind of begging, begging ** to promise that once he surrendered, he would promise that he would not be guilty of the past, not sent to training, and would not be punished, as if this had not happened at all. Before Deng Tieshan could express his position, Zhong Tianshui hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear, Deng Tieshan immediately turned around and left the door of the warehouse, and at the same time ordered a strong attack on the policemen behind him. The three strong policemen worked hard together to open the door of the warehouse, and three high-pressure water hoses sprayed water jets together, shooting vigorously at Sun Peng, and almost at the same time the back window of the warehouse was also knocked open, and another high-pressure water hose joined the attack from behind. Four high-pressure water dragons that shot rapidly knocked Sun Peng to the ground, rushing him so that he rolled all over the ground and had no power to parry, and the lighter in his hand didn't know where to fly. The waves of water that exploded on him engulfed his body, and the policemen rushed into the door with electric batons and steel cuffs in hand, and it was easier than expected to catch Sun Peng.

The police officers didn't expect that the power of the high-pressure water dragon was so great, the four water dragons were concentrated and the distance was close, and they actually shot Sun Peng unconscious in an instant. There were bleeding from both the eyes and nose, and the doctor examined it as a traumatic injury. It's just that the prison warden Deng Tieshan almost had a heart attack for this matter, Feng Ruilong was suspended for this matter, and Zhong Tianshui wrote three tests for this matter before he was passed. At that time, the cadres and police officers held daily meetings to reflect on the lessons, and the prisoners held daily meetings to rectify their thinking, and all corners of the prison carried out a thorough investigation of contraband, and although the amount of contraband such as cigarettes, liquor, iron nails, and ropes that were revealed was not large, it was shocking enough. The Prison Service organized a roving exhibition on the collection of contraband and punished five prisoners for their involvement in the ban.

After investigation, Sun Peng's disposable lighter was asked for by the person who came in to deliver the goods when he picked up cigarette butts in the cafeteria last time. He didn't return the cigarette after lighting it, and the man didn't want it anymore.

Of course, Sun Peng had to send the training team, but fortunately he didn't really ignite the fire, otherwise he would have to report to the court to increase the sentence. Before sending the training team, Sun Peng came to the trick again, he also learned the trick of Liu Chuan in the previous battle, and when the third prison area was about to announce that he would be sent to the training team, he suddenly fell ill. The purpose of his illness was not just to avoid training, but like Liu Chuan, he was also trying to seek medical parole.

Compared with Liu Chuan's method of pretending to be sick, Sun Peng's medical method is much more ruthless. He's playing with feces and urine incontinence! When Feng Ruilong called him to the office to inform him to go back to fetch his luggage and report to the training team, he spilled a large bubble of urine in his pants on the spot, and then collapsed on the ground, claiming that his lower limbs were paralyzed and he couldn't help him. On the way to the hospital, he pulled a piece of crotch feces, so that several of the prisoners who carried him could not eat at noon. After several inspections by the Tianjian Hospital and the Binhe Hospital of the Prison Bureau, no problems were found in the organs, but he just went on the road without dividing the car, and pulled and urinated on the ground when he had feces, so that no one could live with him in a ward. The inmates of the Tianjian Hospital had to vacate a hut for him to live in, and asked the third district to send someone to serve him in cleaning and living.

Unexpectedly, not long after being elected in the sub-prison area, the hygienist who had just been elected to the prison area was exposed in this thorough inspection of contraband because he used a Sprite bottle to bring liquor to the prison area after returning from a family reunion. But this time, when the sub-prison district selected the hygienist again, no one took the initiative to ask for help, because everyone knew that if anyone got this position at this time, there was a chance that they would have to be sent to the hospital to accompany Sun Peng, and they would have to wipe his and urine countless times a day.

Feng Ruilong didn't realize what this matter had to do with Sun Peng at first, and directly talked to Liu Chuan, expressing his trust in him and hoping that he could run for the post again. The last time Liu Chuan, a hygienist, failed, Lao Feng was always concerned, but he didn't expect the opportunity to compensate so quickly. He asked Liu Chuan strangely why he didn't sign up this time, whether he was a little discouraged by the setback last time. Liu Chuan said no. Feng Ruilong asked why? Liu Chuan said: Whoever is asked by the team to do it will do it, and it is easy to judge a lot of right and wrong when the old critics come and go. Feng Ruilong said: Prisons are different from outside units, if everything can be done openly and transparently, it can make the majority of inmates feel fair, you have to understand this truth. Liu Chuan said: Yes.

Because no one signed up, Feng Ruilong took the matter of selecting a hygienist directly to the sub-prison district correctional work meeting for everyone to discuss. Regarding the proposal to let Liu Chuan be a hygienist, most of the cadres and policemen seconded it, and a few cadres and policemen objected, and Pang Jiandong, the policeman in charge of the fourth class, remained silent. Feng Ruilong asked Pang Jiandong what his opinion was, seconded or disagreed, Pang Jiandong did not put forward the proposal of democratic selection of prisoners this time, but thoughtfully asked: Is Liu Chuan willing to be this hygienist now? Feng Ruilong said: I talked to him, and he was willing. Pang Jiandong asked again: Is he actively willing or passively willing? Feng Ruilong didn't understand what Pang Jiandong meant for a while, and said: I asked him, and he said that as long as the sub-prison area is decided, he will definitely do a good job. Pang Jiandong said: That is passive willingness.

After Liu Chuan was announced as the hygienist of the sub-prison district, on the same day, Feng Ruilong understood Pang Jiandong's subtle words, understood why no one signed up this time, and understood what it means to be active and passively willing. On the day Liu Chuan became a hygienist, he was sent to the prison hospital to accompany Sun Peng. On the night Liu Chuan went to the hospital, Pang Jiandong also went to the hospital, ostensibly to see Sun Peng, but in fact mainly to see Liu Chuan's emotions. Because he suddenly remembered that he had heard a long time ago that Liu Chuan and Sun Peng had fought over a bowl of egg soup in the sub-prison area of the prison education sub-cell, and the two sides had a bloody fight.

Pang Jiandong entered the ward prison area, and the policeman on duty opened the iron door of the tube and walked into the ward area. Sun Peng lived in the innermost room of the ward, and he could smell a foul smell ten meters away, Pang Jiandong endured it without covering his nose, and pushed open the door of the room towards the source of the smell. He saw Sun Peng sitting on the ground next to the bed, with two dirty legs, looking at Liu Chuan pouting his ass and changing the mattress sheets, which were covered with disgusting feces and urine everywhere.

Liu Chuan saw Pang Jiandong come in, holding the mattress with and urine in both hands, stood upright, and shouted: "Captain Pang." Pang Jiandong nodded in response, and after Sun Peng also sat on the ground and greeted him, he said to Liu Chuan: "You hurry up and take it out." Liu Chuan replied: "Yes." So he took the mattress and went out of the house.

Pang Jiandong said to Sun Peng: "I said what is wrong with you, the doctor said that you have no disease, if you pretend to be sick, you will lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot." You are willing to suffer yourself, aren't you harming Liu Chuan, washing your mattress and bed sheets every day, who can stand this smell. ”

Sun Peng said: "Captain Pang, I'm really sick, and I want to hold it back, but I just can't hold it." Maybe I was stirred up by the water gun. Otherwise, you still let me be released on medical parole, let my wife serve me, don't trouble Liu Chuan, don't bother **, I don't want to ......"

Pang Jiandong interrupted Sun Peng, his tone was cold and firm, and he didn't leave Sun Peng with a trace of illusion: "It's impossible for you, if you want to be released on medical parole, the doctor will prove that you are indeed sick and can't take care of yourself, and now the doctor proves that you are not sick, you can take care of whatever you want." You think about it yourself, think about it early and turn back early, it's still too late to turn back, don't you hear it? ”

Sun Peng lowered his head and remained silent. Pang Jiandong didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out. He went to the water room and went to look at Liu Chuan again, and saw that Liu Chuan was washing the mattress, and when he came in, Liu Chuan turned off the water and stood up. Pang Jian** felt that Liu Chuan was really unlucky, and finally got a position as a hygienist, but it turned out to be such a drudgery of and urine.

According to what I have always known, Pang Jiandong is a bit arrogant, although he has no money, he especially looks down on the arrogance of rich people; Although he is thin, he is especially unconvinced of the strength of the strong; Although he has a college degree, he does not take those peers with a college degree in his eyes, and he never refuses to submit to others and admit defeat. But for the kind of poor and unlucky weak people who memorize words, they are especially willing to speak up and help each other.

When Liu Chuan had just been assigned to the Heavenly Prison from Gongda, he and Liu Chuan had a good mix, because although Liu Chuan took a big book, he didn't have a big book at all. Liu Chuan's low-key, kind-hearted, and non-limelight personality is very much to Pang Jiandong's appetite. also because he didn't know that Liu Chuan's father was a big money at that time, and because Liu Chuan had not yet won love from him at that time. After Ji Wenzhu empathized and said goodbye, Pang Jiandong hated Liu Chuan so much, and he was a little incompatible.

Pang Jiandong's attitude towards Liu Chuan makes me often feel emotional, feeling that time is like electricity, feeling the right way in the world, and the vicissitudes of life. The power of time is unmatched, and time can drown out hatred and repair emotions...... Time made Pang Jiandong no longer angry and complained. When Liu Chuan became a prisoner of the subordinates, when he was separated from Liu Chuan, he even warned himself that he should be sympathetic to the people at the end of the road, and he should be patient when he needs to be patient. After he became the responsible policeman of the fourth shift, he warned himself even more that he must be responsible for Liu Chuan.

Pang Jiandong's mentality was discussed with me during the chat. I can understand and believe that he is genuine.

Pang Jiandong walked into the water room and saw Liu Chuan washing the mattress alone, the mattress was very large and it was difficult to scrub. Pang Jiandong's face was serious, and he said, "I'll help you." Then he walked over to Liu Chuan. Liu Chuan first said habitually: "Yes." Later, he hurriedly stopped Pang Jiandong's outstretched hand: "No, no, Captain Pang, I can wash it myself." Pang Jiandong still insisted on putting his hand into the water and said: "This mattress is too big, it is easier for two people to wash, you can't wring it out alone." Liu Chuan said: "Wring it out, wring it out." But at this time, Pang Jiandong had already made a move, and beckoned Liu Chuan, who was stunned and at a loss, and said:

"Come on, you hold on to that head, hard!"

For a week, Sun Peng pulled on the bed every day and urinated on the bed. Liu Chuan helped him wipe it every day, wiped it on the bed and wiped it on his body, and later Liu Chuan begged the hospital police to find him a plastic cloth pad under Sun Peng, and the daily cleaning work was a little simpler. He also knew that it was a pseudo-disease for such a long time, but he didn't persuade Sun Peng. He knew that persuasion was useless. Since Sun Peng can endure this living crime, he must be determined to achieve his goal, so it is useless to persuade him.

There is another reason why he did not persuade Sun Peng, that is, he hated Sun Peng. If you pretend to be sick, you will pretend to be sick, if you don't pretend to be sick, you are playing ruthlessly, and let Lao Tzu suffer with it! Not only Liu Chuan, but there are more than 20 sick prisoners living in the ward, and there is no one who does not scold Sun Peng for his lack of morality.

One afternoon a week later, Zhong Tianshui suddenly appeared in the prison area, took a look at Sun Peng first, didn't say anything, but called Liu Chuan out. He called Liu Chuan to the office of the police officer and had a conversation with him.

Zhong Tianshui came here for the same purpose as Pang Jiandong a week ago, not to see Sun Peng coming, but to see Liu Chuan coming.

He asked Liu Chuan: "Have you been here to accompany Sun Peng for a week, are you annoyed?" ”

Liu Chuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Annoying." ”

Zhong Tianshui said: "Sun Peng must be a pseudo-disease, you are with him every day now, you should persuade him." ”

Liu Chuan said: "I don't talk to him. ”

Zhong Tianshui was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Ah, there are many prisoners in the third prison area who report that you are very big, very unsociable, and rarely communicate with others, why?" ”

Liu Chuan said: "No, why. After a pause, he added, "Although I am a prisoner like them, I just look at them and hate them." ”

Zhong Tianshui said: "Is there anything you don't hate when you look at it?" ”

Liu Chuan was dull for a while and said, "There are also, less." ”

Zhong Tianshui said: "People also hate you, you know? ”

Liu Chuan didn't speak.

Zhong Tianshui said: "Liu Chuan, I told you a long time ago that you should turn the five-year sentence into a semester, you can actually learn a lot when you are in prison." It's been almost two years, what have you learned? ”

Liu Chuan said: "I am studying law correspondence. ”

Zhong Tianshui said: "I'm not talking about this. I mean, you have to learn and practice your personality and things, and your character qualities. Don't think that going to prison is all bad, bad things can be turned into good things. Imprisonment is actually a rare life experience, which allows you to see many rare human landscapes, see many rare human feelings, and force you to learn to be content and cherish in the shortest possible time. Contentment and cherishing are also an indispensable survival ability and an indispensable life cultivation for human beings. With this ability and cultivation, the adaptability to the environment will be enhanced. Even in the worst of environments, you can have the desire to survive on your own. That's why I say that suffering is also a great gift that life gives you, it makes you mature, it gives you peace of mind, it makes you have a fearless and peaceful personality, and it allows you to discover true friends. ”

Liu Chuan said: "I have no friends now. ”

Lao Zhong nodded: "Yes, of course you don't." Friends are all from everywhere, you don't blend in with the environment, you don't get along with people, where do you get friends. ”

Liu Chuan said: "I originally thought that I had a very good temper, but now I know that I have a very bad temper and don't know how to get along with people." ”

Lao Zhong said: "Getting along with people is the simplest. If you respect people, people will respect you, and on the contrary, you are unkind, and people are not righteous. We Chinese deal with people and things, they are all like this, you give me a bag of rice, I give you a bunch of meat, pay attention to courtesy exchanges, exchange with each other. Liu Chuan, if you want to learn how to be a good person in the prison school, you must remember three sentences: treat people sincerely, behave in a disciplined manner, and have a humble attitude. If you have these three, you can do it. ”

Liu Chuan listened silently, Zhong Da's words, whether plausible or not, have some deep meaning and are also very real. Just like those wrinkles on the door of the clock's brain, they are profound and at the same time not artificially carved. Although Liu Chuan's heart was still a little confused, he nodded and said, "I know, I will." ”

Zhong Tianshui smiled: "You will be a fart!" I don't know you yet, you are a person, from your habit, you just look at the shortcomings of others and see the advantages of others less, you are particularly sensitive to the faults of others, and you are indifferent to the advantages of others. Unless it's someone you like, such as your girlfriend, the shortcomings can be seen as advantages. I can't be too nice to her. If all the people in the world became your virtue, who would want to live in such a world! ”

Liu Chuan didn't speak, as if he had been told that he had hit the sore spot.

Zhong Tianshui said: "You don't want to think about it, don't you have any shortcomings yourself, your sub-prison district reflects that you rarely care about the collective, rarely help others, and rarely take the initiative to clean up public health, isn't it?" Zhong Tianshui smiled and said in an active tone: "Probably you believe in Hinayana Buddhism, and only talk about being good to yourself, but I think it's better to talk about Mahayana Buddhism, which talks about universal sentient beings." You, you have to do something good for everyone, accumulate some public morality, and in the future, you can become a popular person and a loved person in society, can you do it? ”

Liu Chuan said: "It can be done." And he said, "But sometimes I don't know what to do." ”

Zhong Tianshui said: "Okay, you just remember the three sentences I told you today, these are also the three magic weapons for getting along with people, do you remember the three sentences I just said?" ”

Liu Chuan looked up at Zhong Da and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhong Tianshui said: "Sincerity, rules, humility. Let me tell you, as long as you do these three sentences, any environment can tolerate you. ”

Zhong Tianshui's teachings are nothing new on the surface, and most of them are traditional principles, but in Liu Chuan's heart, there is obviously a positive response. Although he still did not persuade Sun Peng to give up his pseudo-disease, his attitude towards Sun Peng was obviously much better. Emotionally, he still hates Sun Peng, but intellectually and conceptually, he knows that he is now a hygienist and is here to accompany Sun Peng, and he should be sincere about this work, should be decent, and should treat others with a humble attitude.

His attitude touched the responsible policemen of the sick prison area, and he praised Pang Jiandong when he ate in the cafeteria, saying that Pang Jiandong should really evaluate you as a "good policeman with whom the people are satisfied", and that Liu Chuan, who you managed, was not a fuel-efficient lamp in the past, but now it is a bit human. This time we are doing well, *** There is no complaint about this kind of dirty work, and you will not introduce it at the general meeting of the prison in the future, how did you subdue the prisoners.

Liu Chuan's attitude also touched the patients in the prison area, when they saw Liu Chuan in the water room, they would always whisper:, don't wash the girl so clean, you will be honest if you get bedsores for the girl, what a thing! Sometimes they would sigh and say, "Alas, if only you were the hygienist in our prison, have you served people outside before, how can you be so patient?"

Liu Chuan thought to himself: Damn, who has Lao Tzu served? In the past, if you cultivated like you do now, and then you went to serve your grandmother or Ji Wenzhu, how good it would be.

Liu Chuan's attitude also touched Sun Peng himself, he didn't talk much to Liu Chuan before, but Liu Chuan can clearly see now that Sun Peng began to deliberately please himself, often took the initiative to smile at him, and begged him to do things in an unprecedentedly soft tone. He even started one day, and suddenly only wetted the bed and didn't pull the kang. When Liu Chuan cleaned up the wet plastic sheet, he said to Liu Chuan: Brother, it's not easy for you, big brother won't pull it in the future, it's better to wash a little urine just a little urine. Seeing that Liu Chuan didn't answer or thank him, he was a little embarrassed, and continued to say: Brother, I will remember your great kindness to me for a lifetime, and one day you will be able to use your brother, and my brother will go to the soup for you. If you don't believe it, you will get sick with him once next time, and your brother will take care of you, and your brother will make you feel as comfortable as you want.

Liu Chuan said: If you really want me to be comfortable, you can't even pee.

Sun Peng was stunned for a moment and said: Cough, I can't hold it back.

Liu Chuan went out with a plastic sheet, and said without looking back: I'm not the captain, what are you doing with me.

Sun Peng's voice chased Liu Chuan, chasing his back and explaining: You still don't believe it, really, I don't get you ...... But from the tone of the voice, I can already hear that the confidence is not good.

Pang Jiandong's views on Liu Chuan, at the emotional level, have also entered a stage that is difficult for even him to figure out.

Rationally, Pang Jiandong has long known that he is his captain and he is his prisoner. He should be strict with Liu Chuan, concerned about his thoughts, enforce the law fairly, and not treat him with selfishness or emotion. Pang Jiandong is confident that he can do these principles, but emotionally...... You say that feelings shouldn't exist at work, and it's not realistic. I believe that people like Lao Zhong do everything according to principles. Lao Zhong is a few years old, he has been educated by the party for many years, and from the age when his character was formed, he has been instilled with various organizational principles, and those principles have been deeply rooted in Lao Zhong's instincts. But Pang Jiandong is young, and young people are easy to be arrogant, and they are far from reaching Lao Zhong's Taoism.

Therefore, I think that the emotional likes and dislikes of a new policeman like Pang Jiandong often affect emotional fluctuations, and even affect the judgment of thoughts. For example, his current attitude towards Liu Chuan is that he loves and hates, and he can't tell who is in charge, and he can't tell who is right or wrong.

Since he became the captain of the fourth class, Liu Chuan's performance has been really good. Especially this time as a hygienist to accompany Sun Peng, Pang Jiandong was a little moved. But Liu Chuan actually asked him to give Ji Wenzhu a birthday gift, and it was a rose that symbolized love, he really didn't know how to raise his eyebrows and low his eyes. What was the relationship between Pang Jiandong and Ji Wenzhu in the past, Liu Chuan didn't understand, although time has passed, but there is always a hidden pain in each other's hearts, Liu Chuan actually took the initiative to touch this scar, it was really stupid. Pang Jiandong refused on the spot, neither showing favoritism nor venting personal anger, in line with the regulations, and beyond reproach.

Two weeks later—Pang Jiandong was really angry for two weeks—but after seeing Liu Chuan's performance in the sick prison ward, he went to his boss Feng Ruilong and told him that Liu Chuan wanted to send flowers to his girlfriend for her birthday. Feng Ruilong told Zhong Tianshui again. Zhong Tianshui's attitude was that there was no explicit permission to do this for Liu Chuan, but there was no explicit prohibition either, so he simply did it for him, just this once, not as an example. Zhong Tianshui also went to ask the opinions of the Prison Administration Section and the Life and Health Department for this matter, and finally consulted Deputy Prison Director Qiang and Prison Director Deng for their opinions together, in fact, Pang Jiandong had long expected that this matter would be approved as long as he asked Dafan for instructions, and things that were conducive to the reform of prisoners could be approved by the above.

After this matter was approved, the specific operation still fell on Pang Jiandong, he felt awkward, and had nowhere to tell, only complaining that he was self-inflicted. Because it involves cash in and out, and it also involves the female relatives and friends of the prisoners, the opinion of the prison leaders is that it is best to send two people to send flowers to Liu Chuan's girlfriend, and it is best to find another female comrade to walk with him in addition to Pang Jiandong.

It just so happened that Pang Jiandong called Xiao Ke, who was in charge of the prisoner's money accounts in the life and health department.

Regarding the price and quality of roses, Pang Jiandong and Xiaoke don't understand it very well, and their family conditions and living habits are not romantic to this extent. This time I bought flowers for Liu Chuan, only to know that roses can be kept fresh for two days at most, but they cost fifteen yuan a branch. On Ji Wenzhu's twenty-third birthday, he wanted to buy twenty-three roses, which cost three hundred and forty-five yuan. The bouquets of roses are really beautiful, each branch is exactly the same length, the petals of the branches and leaves are fresh and undamaged, and the color is also red and purple, which looks very exciting.

Xiao Ke talked to Ji Wenzhu on the phone beforehand, Ji Wenzhu was filming in Mutianyu at that time, she was deeply surprised and very grateful to Liu Chuan for remembering her birthday. But at the same time, she said to Xiao Ke, Mutianyu is too far away, don't come, really don't come, you tell Liu Chuan, I have received his heart, and I wish him all the best. But Xiao Ke said: Liu Chuan must send us this blessing to you, you also know him, if we don't send it, he will be very disappointed, which is not very conducive to his transformation mood. Ji Wenzhu said, then you guys come, we will finish filming here tomorrow, and we will go directly to Beidaihe from here, we are filming an idol drama, so we have to go to the beach to shoot. Xiao Ke said, what time are you leaving tomorrow? We'll go early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Xiao Ke and Pang Jiandong took a long-distance bus to Huairou together. The two of them didn't talk much along the way, they took turns holding the handful of roses, bathed in countless envious glances—the passengers in the same car, apparently regarded them as a happy couple—and no one could see that they were frowning, their faces solemn, and each thinking about their own thoughts.

Pang Jiandong was depressed, and Xiao Ke was not. The three hundred and forty-five yuan was all saved by her and her parents little by little, and it was for Liu Chuan, who would have thought that it would fall into the hands of Ji Wenzhu. Compared with Liu Chuan, Ji Wenzhu must be much richer than Xiaoke, but they still have to send such valuable flowers to her after a long journey. Not to mention this cost, just talking about the round-trip fare, it will cost dozens of yuan, and I don't know if I will pay back to the prison.

When Xiaoke was still in the police academy, he participated in the patriotic education activities organized by the general branch of the Youth League and came to Mutianyu once. The impression of Mutianyu is not connected with today's blue sky and white clouds. They found the red, green and green idol crew in a dilapidated section of the ancient Great Wall a little far away from the main tourist area, and found the charming protagonist Ji Wenzhu among a large group of red men and green women.

Ji Wenzhu, who has already filmed a lot of scenes, seems to be quite experienced in acting, and is chatting and laughing with the group of fashionably dressed boys and girls in front of the camera. Xiao Ke and Pang Jiandong explained their identities to the crew members, and were allowed to stand on the side of the clothing box and wait patiently. In Xiao Ke's opinion, the filming of that scene was quite cumbersome, and the director shouted after several times of filming, "Pass!" Ji Wenzhu had already seen the bouquet of flowers, and ran over with a smile as soon as he finished playing, and was full of thanks while taking the flowers, and I don't know if it was Xie Liuchuan or the pair of male and female policemen who came to send flowers. But Xiao Ke could see that Ji Wenzhu was somewhat embarrassed when facing Pang Jiandong, his eyes were dodgy, and his smile was not smooth. Pang Jiandong grimaced his face and didn't say a word, silently listening to Xiao Ke convey Liu Chuan's birthday wishes to Ji Wenzhu. Ji Wenzhu also asked Xiaoke to convey her greetings to Liu Chuan, wishing him good health and a happy mood, and don't worry about her all the time. These wishes sound like ordinary greetings, like text messages sent to N acquaintances at the same time. Only the last sentence "You tell him, you don't have to worry about me in the future", I can't tell whether it is polite, whether I am afraid that Liu Chuan will be too distracted, or I really don't want him to think about her so much.

After Ji Wenzhu finished talking about Liu Chuan, his gaze finally had to move to Pang Jiandong. She smiled and said, "Jiandong, you're fine, thank you." ”

Pang Jiandong was still serious, as if he could bear anything, and said very manly: "You're welcome." ”

Several other girls in the crew also came around, making jokes about Ji Wenzhu while praising the quality of this handful of roses - Ji Wenzhu, you have a birthday, is it today? But why did people give you this on your birthday? Did you send it from your fans? Do your fans also have cops?

Xiao Ke watched the bouquet of roses being dismantled by the actors, from this hand to that hand, sniffing from this nose to that nose, until the assistant director shouted over there: "Actor! Actor! It's time to shoot the hug......" The actors put down the flowers and ran towards the camera. Ji Wenzhu said apologetically to Xiaoke Pang Jiandong: "I'm going to film, do you want to watch the filming, if you want to watch it, just stand here and watch it, and see how we film." ”

Ji Wenzhu also ran towards the camera, and Pang Jiandong said to Xiao Ke in a calm voice: "Let's go." Then he turned around and walked to the intersection of the lower hills. The wind on the mountain was very strong, blowing the clothes on Pang Jiandong's back to swell, making him look majestic at that moment. Xiao Ke turned around, followed him for two steps, and involuntarily looked back - on a battlement of the Great Wall, a good scene had already started, Ji Wenzhu passionately kissed a graceful man, and the camera on the lift car slowly shook in front of them and slowly rose......

Xiao Ke's gaze suddenly looked back, not with the rising camera, to the pair of "affectionate" men and women at the battlement, but to the scattered roses on the clothing box that no one cared about, a hurried glance. The roses seemed to have failed under the sun, and the flowers withered. The mountain wind blows, the leaf petals are scattered, a few remnants of red and green, silently towards the mottled city walls of broken bricks and stones, flying away with the wind, flying to the endless mountains, and gradually dissolving into nothing......
