Two days after Huang Long and the others were released, production in the cell also stopped. The entire prison area fell silent, there was no roar of machines sealing betel nut bags in the corridor, and there were no blue vests turned on, only occasionally there were correctional cadres or militiamen on duty walking through the corridor. suddenly changed from noisy to silent, which made people very uncomfortable, Wu Jianguo sat at the door and came over to chat without a blue vest, lit a cigarette, and burned the cigarette butt without taking two puffs, which made Zhao Changping feel distressed.

Having nothing to do and nowhere to go is the hardest thing to pass the time. Listening to what they say, there are a lot of envy of the few who are about to start reforming, is this considered a second best thing? At the beginning, I envied the three people who were released and could be freed, but they couldn't, but now I take a step back and envy them to go to prison, no one will have an opinion, right?

"Hey, who's sending warmth to the house? Brother Chang, I'm afraid it's yours, it is estimated that Yi Jiugao really brought the letter to you. If he really helped you send it, I see that you are out, it is better to let him be your brother-in-law, forget it, this Yi Jiugao is much more reliable than the original Yi Jiugao! Wu Jianguo saw that there was a blue vest worker outside pushing a machine swiping a card in the corridor, so he started a live voice broadcast, "I took the exam, and I went to the fifth prison, and someone from the fifth prison sent money in...... Eh, the six prisons also have ......"

The cart stopped at the gate of the Seventh Prison, and the blue vest took the cigarette light handed over by Wu Jianguo and said, "Brother Jian, you can call it, you are all rich people!" ”

"Who sent the living expenses?" As soon as Wu Jianguo heard it, he knew that someone from the Seventh Prison must have sent money.

"Zhou Shaoqing." I heard my name, followed by the routine question, "Surname Li, what's your friend's name?" ”

Without thinking about it, it was definitely Li Yin, so after verification, he handed the card out, signed a form, and looked at the amount: 5,000 yuan.

"Brother Zhou, let's get a pack of cigarettes and smoke, I'm here to send you money on such a cold day, let's pass the time!" The blue vest recharged the card for me, and when he handed it in, he smiled and said to me. At Wu Jianguo's signal, I took a packet of red plums and handed it to him from between the iron gate fences.

"Isn't there any Zhao Changping?" Wu Jianguo asked again.

"No, there are Brother Jian's and Huang Yuxin."

After Wu Jianguo and Huang Yuxin finished swiping their cards and recharging, the blue vest pushed the cart and continued to walk to the cell below, leaving Zhao Changping standing at a distance of about one meter from the iron gate, with a frozen expression of expectation.

"That's not right, Brother Chang, it should be almost time? Didn't Yi Jiugao bring you a letter? How many packs of cigarettes have you borrowed? If you don't send the money, I'll see what you can pay? Wu Jianguo looked at Zhao Changping, who was from full of hope to disappointment, and asked him with a smile.

"College student, who is Li Yin? I saw that she was the one who sent you money last time, and you still remembered it for a long time, and you haven't contacted it for a long time, right? Boss Xu somehow ignited his gossip heart.

"Well, ex-girlfriend!" I thought about it and replied.

I guessed that Huang Long went out and got in touch with Li Yin, but I didn't expect that she really hadn't left yet, and I didn't know what Huang Long said to her to make her send so much money over. Seeing that I didn't seem to be interested in talking, Boss Xu didn't ask any more.

"Here's the paperwork." Wu Jianguo turned the door of the cell into an observation post.

"Wang Yongfei, the arrest has been approved, this is the notice." The blue vest handed in a notice of approval of arrest stamped with a bright red official seal, and then said, "Zhou Shaoqing, letter." ”

I came to the door and gave the blue vest a pack of red plums, and then got an open envelope with the words "Zhou Shaoqing, Southern Fourth Seventh Supervisor" written on the outside of the envelope. As soon as I looked at the handwriting, I knew that it was written by Li Yin, and it must have been sent in together when she sent the money in.

When I took it out and saw the appearance of the letter, I knew that the letter written by Li Yin must have also been reviewed by the correctional cadres.

"Qing'er, I don't know what to say to you. Xiao Zhang told me that you broke the law and that when you were locked up in the detention center, I asked Brother Deng for leave to come and see you. Xiao Zhang and Brother Deng said that they were very busy at the end of the year, so they couldn't come for the time being, and they would find time to see you next year. I came to the detention center several times, and after asking the person who received you, I found out that I can't see you now. I also told them about the situation here, and Brother Deng said that I should go home directly for the New Year or go back to work, I don't feel at ease. I took half a year off from Brother Deng, and I want to wait until you come out before going back to work. I rented a house from your school, and I paid the rent for half a year. I met up with your friend last night and he said something about you. You have to listen to the cadres well inside and don't fight. I sent you some living expenses, you buy more food and cigarettes for you, I will send it to you when the money is not enough, you must make yourself better, don't let people bully. ”

The letter is not long, and there is something written and crossed out in the middle, which should be written after the guard. At the end, another paragraph reads: "Qing'er, you have to work hard, just like you encouraged me at the beginning, you still have a bright future waiting for you." ”

Think about it, how long has it been since you and Li Yin met? Three years? Two years? I'm a little unsure.

When I graduated, Li Yin still had two years to graduate, I stayed to find a job in weighing instrument sales, every winter and summer vacation Li Yin will come over, work in Deng Ge's factory to earn some tuition and living expenses, and returned to Deng Lei's factory after graduation to do quality inspection. A year later, Brother Deng decided to open the factory to Zhejiang, and Li Yin followed Brother Deng and them to Zhejiang at my suggestion.

We haven't seen each other since. Phone, QQ contact, similar to when she was studying.

After his factory moved to Zhejiang, Brother Deng came back and invited me to drink once, at the KTV outside our school. There was no such cabaret as there was in the same hall with a few tables, and he and I didn't sing much that day, but just drank.

Brother Deng said that he really admires me and Li Yin, he was not optimistic about it at the beginning, and now he has watched the two of us together for more than six years. asked me when I was going to start a family, and told me that if I didn't start a family, Li Yin's age would be old, and if she had a child in the future, she would be considered an advanced maternal age.

I told Brother Deng that day, I seemed to be a little scared, I felt that I couldn't guarantee that in another six years it would not be the same as now? Six years can be what about ten years? What about twenty years? I said that Li Yin and I have always been together less and more apart, and we have never been together for more than three months a year. I can't guarantee what we'll be like if we're really together, living together.

Deng Ge was silent, smoking vigorously and drinking non-stop.

"I thought that what I had told you before could not be an obstacle to you, but I also saw that you really have nothing to hinder you. Am I mistaken? Brother Deng seemed to be saying to himself.

"Li Yin is really a good girl, my brother persuaded you to regress at the beginning, but now that you are hesitating, brother, I want to persuade you to be brave. Hey, the world is impermanent. "Brother Deng doesn't seem to understand me anymore.

Brother Deng said that after Li Yin moved to Zhejiang, it was like a robot after the factory moved to Zhejiang, because when he moved there, there were only seven or eight people who went with Brother Deng, and Li Yin worked as a night shift supervisor, assistant to production manager, assistant sales manager, and production manager for more than a year because of the need for quality inspection. The longest time may be a few months without leaving the factory, and the most you can do is to go to the small grocery store opposite the factory to buy some physiological supplies.

She said that she wants to progress, can't let you down, wants to keep up with your footsteps, last year Xiao Zhang got married, and there were a few tables of wine over there, in the canteen of our factory, Li Yin was drunk that day, my wife sent her upstairs to the dormitory, and when she came back, she told me that Li Yin had been holding her breath, she had always felt that she was not worthy of you, but she felt like she was living in vain when she thought of separating from you, and she also said that she was waiting for you anyway, not asking you, not urging you, not asking you, just waiting for you to make a decision. Whatever she accepts. Deng Ge said these words to me as he blew on the bottle, "Do you know what I heard and thought at the time? I can't wait to drive back that night and tie you up to Zhejiang to work in my company, I know that you didn't agree to let you go to work in my company several times, I didn't understand why you didn't go at first, I thought about it that day, maybe you were afraid of getting along with Li Yin, right? Let me say, she's so much braver than you! You're just the impulsive bravery, not as long-lasting as hers. ”

Later, when Zhang Xueyou was making up the wedding wine in his hometown, I participated, and he said to me: "Brother, don't worry, I told you that I wanted to tell my second aunt that you found a young lady as a girlfriend, I will never say it, you can rest assured and boldly bring Li Yin back, you are two years younger than me, and you can almost start a family, and Li Yin is not young anymore!" ”

My parents always knew I had a girlfriend and asked me when I would bring her home. My answer is that I am not in a hurry, I am not ready to get married so early!

"Did you kid find another woman?" Brother Deng patted me on the shoulder and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If you really found another woman, brother, although I want to scold you, I can understand you, but you have to tell Li Yin." To be honest, after so many years, from knowing her at KTV, to her being with you, then studying, working in my factory here, and then going with me to Zhejiang, where I am not familiar with my life, I really regard her as a sister. Whether you can be together or not is your fate, you are Xiao Zhang's cousin, Xiao Zhang has followed me since school, I have drunk with you for so many years, and I also regard you as a younger brother, I am not partial to my side, but you can't deceive her. If you go to Zhejiang with me, you definitely have a suitable seat in the factory, if you marry Li Yin, I don't have anything else, just like Xiao Zhang, it's absolutely no problem to give you a suite, I can make a decision with you here today, brother, I'm not drunk. A suite is absolutely no problem, the area is not large, about 100 square meters. ”

"Let me think again!" I replied with a sigh, and then jokingly said to Brother Deng: "The housing prices over there are not low!" 100 square meters, I want to choose an expensive one for more than 2 million, is it worth it? ”

Brother Deng is really a man of temperament, and he replied nonchalantly: "It's worth it, I've lived for almost forty years, Li Yin's love is worth it, it's really worth it!" ”

Thinking of Wang Yongfei's unreasonable declaration of love, recalling the time when I was with Li Yin, I was asking myself: "Am I worthy of being so humble to you?" ”

Let's go find her when we go out! I said to myself.
