On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, there were still thirteen people waiting for the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The bunks in the cell were adjusted again, the top four did not move, I went to the fifth bunk, and the bottom were Wang Yongfei, Zhang Li, and Long Botao, the bunk of the four of us was a little wider than the original, and it was no problem to barely be able to turn over at night. Then came the poisonous devils, Zhao Changping, Liu Zhiqiang, Northeast and Niu Feng.

Niu Feng was arranged to take over Zhao Changping's dishwashing. It should be the hardest job in the prison - the rice basin eaten by the whole prison room is a little better, the most difficult thing to wash is the vegetable bowl with vegetables, there is a lot of oil on it, plus this thief cold day, hot water is impossible, the water in the pool is full every afternoon when cleaning, people with common sense should know that in winter when the well water has just come out of the ground, it is okay, and after putting it in the pool made of concrete for a period of time, it is cold to the bone!

One of the reasons why Zhao Changping was replaced was that he was now also a rich man in the prison cell and had paid the provident fund. Another reason is that Niu Feng committed something that everyone despised, according to Wang Yongfei, this kind of person should be shot.

In the afternoon, the foreign worker came over and asked if he wanted to order drinks, and ordered eight bottles of beer and two bottles of Coke, and the price was about the same as that sold in the bar outside.

After dinner, when the head and tail were finished, and when the dry time passed, Cadre Xia came to the cell and told us that he was the person on duty in the second and fourth buildings of the junior high school on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and Wang Yongfei invited Cadre Xia to come to the Seventh Prison to have a reunion dinner together, and Cadre Xia replied that he would talk about it tomorrow. After chatting with everyone in the prison room for a while, I told you that there was no paperwork to send over before the seventh day of the new year, so that everyone could take a good rest these days, and also warned me to be honest and not to make trouble, after all, it is a big New Year, so be safe.

No one fell asleep on the first shift of the night, lying on the Chase bunk staring at the incandescent lights that never went out all night, I was homesick, imagining the family sitting around a pit full of firewood with a roaring flame, and the kang rack on top was full of cortten bacon, which was roasted and fated and fell on the firewood with a sizzling sound. The atmosphere at home during this year's Spring Festival should be a lot less joyful, but who is to blame? I was thinking, maybe my relatives will ask me why I didn't go home for the New Year when they come to visit the New Year. I wonder what the mother will say to them?

The thirtieth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve. The atmosphere in the cell is no longer gloomy under the drive of Wang Yongfei, and in the past few days, he has dragged everyone to follow him to do push-ups, high leg lifts, jumping jacks and other exercises, and Boss Xu has also joined in.

"New Year's Day, everyone is happy, although it is in the detention center, it is also the New Year!" Wang Yongfei yelled at a depressed person in a cell.

The New Year's dinner was delivered at noon, and because there were also cells that did not order meals, there were normal heads and tails. The foreign worker saw that two tables of food were sent in and asked Wu Jianguo if he needed some noodles, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he brought in a small pot of vegetables - stewed old pumpkin, full of golden, but not peeled.

In the envious eyes of the foreign workers, the reunion dinner of the Seventh Prison began.

Beer and drinks were poured into a small plastic basin, and all glass was prohibited in the cell. What is rarer than usual is that today's order is still hot when it is delivered in, apparently it has just been made from the kitchen and some insulation measures have been carried out.

The instant noodle carton on the ground is barely made into a low table, and you can maintain a relatively comfortable posture by sitting on a small stool, and you can use your own mouthwash cup for drinking. When Wang Yongfei poured the wine, he didn't say anything, but only poured it for the eight of us funders, and everyone poured a glass.

"Cheers!" The plastic mouthwash cups touched each other, and no matter what, everyone was still happy at this moment, even with a little excitement.

The conversation during the meal slowly pulled to the customs of the New Year in various places, and they talked about the New Year's customs, rules, and scenery of their hometown with a trace of happiness with a trace of memory. You talk about the specialties of your hometown, discuss the dishes you order, and recommend the specialties of your hometown to each other. Let whoever goes out have the opportunity to go to our place to play, eat somewhere, do something, and so on, and so on, which has become the theme of this reunion dinner.

"Damn, it's only comfortable to get some liquor!" Boss Xu took a sip of the beer in the cup and said, "It turned out that I was afraid of liquor when I saw it, and I was scared of wine when I had a meal, but now I want to drink it a little." ”

This was deeply agreed by everyone, and Wang Yongfei encouraged Wu Jianguo to say: "Brother Jian, aren't you classmates with Cadre Xia?" He's on duty again today, you ask him to help get some liquor to drink, not too much, just take a sip! ”

Of course, this can only be said, everyone knows it, but they still look at Wu Jianguo with some hope.

"Forget it, be content! Two sips of beer would be good, but still want liquor? Do you want me to talk to Cadre Xia and ask him to help you send your girl over? Wu Jianguo tilted his head and asked.

There was a burst of laughter, and then continued to chatter left and right.

"I made big news before I came in, you don't know!" Long Botao suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation and said, "It's very exciting!" ”

"What's the news? What we can watch every day is the news broadcast and Hunan TV, let's talk about it! Wu Jianguo asked with great interest.

"Hehe, do you know Brother Guanxi of HK? He repaired the computer, and the photos in the computer were uploaded to the Internet,, all the photos with the female star! Damn,That's a lot.,I've got a few G pictures on my computer! Long Botao had an evocative expression, and his words calmed everyone down.

The wine had already been drunk, and the meal was almost finished, so everyone gathered around him to listen to his description, accompanied by a cry of "it", "And her?" "O man of God!" "Bullnose, it's worth it to die!" sighed, the reunion dinner entered a link of excitement for everyone.

After a meal, when the head and tail came in in the afternoon, everyone was still sitting around the simple table made of instant noodle boxes, smoking cigarettes, chatting about each other's past, talking about each other's hometowns, relatives, and of course, yearning for the freedom that they once had outside the high walls and iron windows.

After the meal, Niu Feng used hot water when washing the dishes, which was a preferential treatment for the New Year.

When the Spring Festival Gala counts down to the arrival of the New Year, the people in the cell are shouting loudly, looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, and perhaps also looking forward to the arrival of new students! During the countdown, they roared one by one, and it seemed that the countdown sound from the cell next door could still be heard.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers in the distance has nothing to do with this group of people, and when you fall asleep and close your eyes, you can see the mountain and the water at the door of your house! And the smiling face of the mother.
