The day of reform has finally arrived.

The four people who had been notified early put the items they were going to take away into the snakeskin bags they bought, stood by the iron gate and waited for the call of the correctional cadres, watching them leave, knowing that they were going to a labor camp or prison where there was no freedom, but the people who stayed still showed unconcealed envy. Me too, or, let me see the sky is not bad.

Almost every cell had a person who had been reformed, leaning against the iron door, watching a long line of people carrying snakeskin bags of the same style, walking with uneven steps towards another unknown place looking forward to a new life.

There were eleven other people in the cell, Wu Jianguo, Boss Xu, Huang Yuxin, Chen Anping, Wang Yongfei, Poison Devil, Zhong Li, Zhao Changping, Liu Zhiqiang, Dongbei, and me.

"Will you rush down to prison today? Cadre Xia said that day that he couldn't squeeze in a prison, damn, how did thirty people sleep? When Qikai walked out, Wu Jianguo asked towards the blue vest walking at the back of the line outside the iron gate.

"It should be, the boss of the first prison told Wang Dongchang two days ago that he was going to rush to prison." The blue vest took the cigarette and put it in his ear and returned to the road.

"Tell Brother Song from the first prison, the seventh prison will have fewer people and a few people with better conditions." Wu Jianguo then said again.

I don't know what the reason is, I didn't rush to prison that day, and when it was time to go to bed at night, Wang Yongfei said loudly: "Yes, it's best not to have a prisoner come down, how comfortable it is to sleep like this, it's not crowded at all, and I'm not afraid to turn over and press on the college students at night, hahaha!" ”

Looking at his heartless jokes, I couldn't help but ask him: "You have all been arrested, it seems that you have not been able to withdraw the case, are you not in a hurry?" Still laughing? ”

Wang Yongfei took out the betel nut he had selected in the past few days and left in the cell, put it in his mouth and chewed it and said: "I don't know, my brother didn't give me a letter to come in, and I don't know if they helped me find a lawyer, if I find a lawyer, I can still know a little about the situation." It's useless to be anxious, there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, and I don't want to do so much. ”

"My heart is so big! And I still have the heart to think about when the New Year will come! Wu Jianguo was speechless when he heard it, "If you get to this kind of place, don't think about anything to celebrate the New Year, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"What words? Where can it not be a New Year? Who stipulates that you will not be able to live in such a place? I see, we have to have a good meal for the Chinese New Year this year, and the reunion dinner in this situation is even more rare, right? Later, when I went out to brag with others, I said that Lao Tzu had a New Year's dinner in the detention center, how bullish is it? Wang Yongfei smiled and said, "Yes, just do it, and order a few more dishes when the time comes." I wonder if there is a better meal on the day of the Chinese New Year? Brother Jian, you ask Cadre Xia in the past two days, is there a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner like the hotel outside? If there is, we'll have a table too! ”

"No need to ask, there is!" Boss Xu replied to him, "There was last year anyway, and this year shouldn't be anything special." ”

"That's okay, how much does it cost to get a table? It's definitely a bit expensive, we can pay for it with a few people! "In Wang Yongfei's view, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a very important thing.

"Whatever, Lao Wu and Huang Yuxin, you can do it, if you do it, count me as a share." Boss Xu casually transferred the matter to Wu Jianguo and them.

Wu Jianguo looked at Wang Yongfei, then at the other people in the cell who didn't speak, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, most of them are celebrating the New Year in the detention center for the first time!" It is fate that everyone is down, and having a reunion dinner together will also be a memory in the future. In this way, the four of us, Wang Yongfei, college students, do you participate? Wu Jianguo looked at me and asked, and after seeing me nodding, he continued: "The six of us came to pay this money, and the others had no money, and some of them rushed to the card with a little money when they came in, and there was no money outside, so there was no need." Since it's a reunion dinner, then the people of the seven prisons will eat together, and we will invite everyone. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Jianguo looked at me and Wang Yongfei, saw that we nodded and agreed, and then looked at the other people in the cell, and then said: "But let me say one thing, no one's money is blown by the wind, I have been here to chat with foreign workers every day these days, only to know that our cell is the most loosely managed in the whole building, and the task of making betel nuts every day is basically relatively average, and everyone can still play cards and the like when they are fine, which is basically impossible in other cells." I also asked Xia cadre to get you magazines and books to read, you can ask the foreign workers, do you have this in other cells? The laundry detergent, paper towels, toothpaste, envelopes, stamps, soap and other things you usually use are not as good as those in the cell, like the Seventh Prison, and you can use them whenever you want. Now there are only eleven people in the cell, but they are about to rush into prison, and they will definitely have to rush in in the future. So I think so, in the future, people like Wang Yongfei and college students will draw more provident funds, and they can have fewer tasks when they work, and the place can be wider when they sleep, after all, this is also bought with money, right? If you feel that it is unfair, you can report the situation to the cadres, and if you think it is acceptable, then you can do so in the future. ”

After saying that, Wu Jianguo's sitting body leaned forward, turned his head to look at the people who were lying down but basically leaned their heads against the wall and had not yet slept. At this time, I think he should say like Leung Jiahui in "Black Gold": "I'm done talking, who is in favor?" Who is against? ”

No one said anything for or against, and this is the end of the year's previous cell meeting, and everyone can find a more comfortable position to sleep, after all, the nine people on duty sleeping on that Chase bunk still don't look crowded at all, such an opportunity is rare!

Although there is no production task, I also opened the air door at seven o'clock in the morning, and I don't know what to do after getting up, Wu Jianguo continued to sit at the door of the iron gate as if he was determined to look through the iron door, I looked out the letter from my father and Li Yin and read it over and over again, Wang Yongfei was pulled by Boss Xu to be a fitness coach, and successfully attracted a large number of apprentices, Chen Anping was also among them. There are also people who are gnawing on books, very serious kinds.

In the afternoon, Wu Jianguo and Huang Yuxin were let out to breathe fresh air in the duty room, and Boss Xu had the opportunity, but he refused. I also wanted to go and bask in the sun, but after thinking about it for a while, I still didn't get up to report.

After returning to the prison cell, Wu Jianguo brought back the news of the prison: "Today is the Xia cadre on duty, this time the prison was arranged by him, I just told the learner of the first prison, our seventh prison rushed down three times this time, fortunately, fourteen people, not very crowded." ”

Huang Yuxin was very depressed after returning to the cell, and Wu Jianguo said that his wife came to give him living expenses yesterday and was going back to his hometown for the New Year.

New Year, reunion, this is rooted in the hearts of the Chinese. So no one can comfort anyone, most of the people in the cell did not return home for the first time for the New Year, let alone live the Chinese New Year's Eve that should have been with their families in such an environment. Therefore, Huang Yuxin's depressed mood quickly spread, and the cell was surprisingly quiet throughout the afternoon, no one chatted, no one organized entertainment activities, or squatting or lying down began to brew a mood called homesickness.

Standing in the wind room, looking up is a net welded from thumb-thick steel bars, and there are a few glass tiles on the roof that can send a few rays of sunlight, and it is impossible to see the color of the sky outside against the light, and it is impossible to guess whether the sky in my hometown is the same as the sky here, blue or gloomy. Sighing, he continued to sit against the wall, silently calculating how many days it had been in? How long will it take to get out in half a year? Perhaps at this moment, many people are doing the same calculation in their hearts.

The time has come to rush to prison, three. Liu Zhiqiang and Zhong Li, under Wu Jianguo's arrangement, took the quilt brought by Xinkouzi and put it down in the cell where they slept, and then arranged the first class in the cell - taking a bath. No one watered them, and the three of them helped each other in the small fence in the corner of the ventilator to complete a cold shower with non-stop banging of teeth.

The next step is to fill out the detention center's roster of detainees.

Long Botao, 22 years old, theft, is currently in the public security investigation stage.

Niu Feng, 19 years old, attempted rape, is currently in the public security investigation stage.

Zhang Li, 35 years old, gathered a crowd to gamble, and is currently in the stage of public security investigation.

After the registration, they told them the rules in the cell, and they all understood it, and the learner who said that he had been in the first prison for a few days explained all the rules. And relatively speaking, the rules of the first prison are much stricter than those of the seventh prison, as if the students of the first prison also told them what to do after rushing down from prison, and after the registration was completed, several of them consciously squatted on the wall of the air room to see the code of conduct of the detainees hanging on the wall.

I wonder why I rushed down after only half a day in prison. It seems that the people who rushed to prison behind me were all rushed down after a few days of "training" in the first prison. With this question, I asked Boss Xu, who had been in detention for the longest time, what was going on?

"I've been in for so long, it seems that I really only saw you rush into prison on the first day you entered the detention center, and you usually rush into prison after being locked up for more than three days in the first prison, and the first prison is actually a transitional cell, and there are only a few people who stay in it until the court session or release, and they are all waterways or a little more prickly. You should have all been beaten up, usually when you first go in, those few will replace the quilts you bought when you first came in, don't you also bring the quilts they used when you rush down to the prison? Although the quilt in the detention center is new, the quality is not very good, and it is not so warm after sleeping for a while. And then there are clothes, they will also change the good quality that can be worn for you, of course, they will not directly snatch it away, it is to change it, and it is not allowed to take it directly. ”

"You were either about to rush to prison that day, you said that when Wang Dongchang talked to you, you said that you didn't call home, and they probably rushed you down because they saw that you didn't have any oil and water to fish, or your case-handling staff said something to the people in the detention center, after all, the life of the first prison is still not as good as the life of the cell below, don't believe you ask them who has not suffered in the first prison? I was the same at the time, and they knocked a lot of stuff into the ground. I guess, it's very likely that you rushed you down so early because of your intercession with the case-handling staff, you see, how could you be so lucky to rush to the most loosely managed cell in the whole building just after you came in? Boss Xu said to me slowly and analytically.

His words were unanimously agreed, and Wu Jianguo and Wang Yongfei both said that they had been beaten in a prison and had suffered a lot.

"Didn't you tell them that Cadre Xia was your classmate? Are you no exception? I asked Wu Jianguo a little disbelievingly.

"Didn't you see the quilt I brought when I came down? They also grabbed two beds for me when they rushed to prison, as well as my leather coat, and now they are still on the fat man in the second bunk in the first prison. The first prison was in charge of Wang Dongchang, and I didn't bother to say that the iron zippers and buttons of the leather coat were cut off when I came in. Wu Jianguo replied.

"Then I'm pretty lucky!" I said with a smile.

Although a few of them agreed with Boss Xu's speculation, none of them really had to know the truth about such a trivial matter, so they didn't discuss it anymore.
