After eating, many people went to the long pool at the entrance of the cafeteria to wash their dishes and chopsticks, and then each took their own dishes and chopsticks back.

This gave me an initial impression: this place is freer than in the detention center!

Xiao Pingtou came to us and said, "You newcomers, go to the sink to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then take your own dishes and chopsticks." ”

The twelve of us quickly washed our dishes and chopsticks in the sink.

Xiao Pingtou said: "I am the custodian here, your family or relatives and friends come to worship the mountain, and the cash and items sent will be registered with me, how to use it for you, I have the final say." Every time you meet, you can ask your family or friends and relatives to send more money or goods, so that you can have a better time here. I'm reminding, but I'm not imposing, what to do, you weigh it yourself. ”

I asked him, "What is Baishan?" ”

Xiao Pingtou said with a dark face: "You will naturally understand in the future." ”

I asked again, "Is it possible to meet outsiders here?" ”

Xiao Pingtou said: "It seems that you are the first time, then I will tell you, you can, once a week, and the meeting day is Friday." Now, you take the quilt you just folded and follow me, and assign you a room. ”

We took our own dishes, chopsticks and quilts, and followed Xiao Pingtou into an iron gate and went up to the second floor.

At the top of the stairs, Xiao Pingtou said, "You guys are really lucky, you just came here today and you came across meat to eat." ”

Number 11 asked, "Do you usually have meat to eat here?" ”

"Once a week, on Friday at dinner," said the little flathead. What's wrong? Do you like meat? ”

Number 11 said, "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to eat meat." ”

Xiao Pingtou deliberately glanced at No. 11 and said: "It's not a bad thing to like meat, as long as your family often comes to see you and sends more money or other things, I guarantee that you will have meat to eat every day." ”

Number 11 lowered his head and stopped talking.

Xiao Pingtou said, "Now I will assign you a room." As for what to do, I won't be verbose, there is a room manager in each room who will teach you. ”

Then the twelve of us were divided into rooms.

Number 37 was in the same room as me, and the two of us were in the lower bunk next to the window.

After the room was allocated, Xiao Pingtou left, and he didn't see him smile from beginning to end. I conclude that this custodian must be a man who does not smile.

From time to time, people walked back and forth in the hallway, and people from other rooms came to hang out and chat with people they knew.

This once again deepened my impression: this place is really much freer than the detention center!

The head of the room I was in was a skinny young man, who looked to be in his twenties, and when he opened his mouth, he was full of Northeast accents.

He said: "My name is Dongzi, a native of the Northeast, and I am the head of this room, and in this room in the future, everything has to listen to me, and it is not easy for anyone else to say it!" However, your performance before dinner is enough for me, let me look up to you. In the future, I won't deliberately embarrass you, you just need to cooperate with me well to ensure that you don't suffer. ”

I asked, "And what are the rules in this room?" ”

He said: "The rules are written on the wall, you just have to take the time to look at it." But that's the big rule of the house, as long as you don't break it. As for the small rules in this room, if you want to say that there is none, there are too many, in short, it is up to me, the head of the room, to decide. ”

Inside, there were a few people talking loudly by the window inside.

Dongzi glanced inside and said, "What the fuck are you yelling? Be quiet, you'll die! Didn't you see Lao Tzu welcoming new recruits! People in the other rooms go back to their rooms! ”

Two people immediately walked out.

Dongzi said, "Okay, everyone in this room is done by their own bedside." Suddenly, he walked towards the window, kicked a little fat man, and said, "Didn't you hear me?" Go back to your room! Don't let Lao Tzu see you again! ”

The little fat man didn't dare to reply, and walked away with his butt covered.

Dongzi said: "These are the two new recruits in our room, everyone is welcome!" ”

The room burst into crackling applause.

Dongzi said: "These two new brothers are my people, you all have long eyes!" ”

"Listen to Brother Dong!"

The people in the room shouted in unison.

Dongzi said: "Okay, let's hurry up and move freely, and we will start work in a few minutes." ”

I don't understand what Dongzi means by what he said, how did the two of us newcomers become his people? What does it mean to start work? What are the rules in this room? What exactly do you mean by a small rule?

I said, "Chief, could you please tell us what the rules are?" Lest we accidentally break the rules? ”

Dongzi said: "This little rule, that's a lot, but you don't have to be afraid, as long as I say it's okay, then it's okay." I'm really good to you, no one in the other rooms, the newcomers have such a good treatment, and you'll understand it later. You're new today, so you don't have to go to work at night, just take a good look at the rules and regulations on the wall in your room. ”

A few minutes later, the assembly bell rang in the compound.

Dongzi said: "Start work!" ”

The people in the room went out quickly.

Dongzi said to me and No. 37, "Let's go to work, you two stay in the room." If you want to take a shower, you can also take a shower, the shower room is at the top of the corridor, but there is no hot water at this time, and the hot water will not be available until the end of work at ten o'clock. ”

After saying that, Dongzi also quickly went out.

I pointed to the ordinances on the wall and said, "Let's take a look at these ordinances first." ”

No. 37 said, "Let's go take a shower first, it's too dirty and uncomfortable." ”

When I was in the prison, there was only one hour to take a shower and supply water, and it often happened that the people in front of me had finished showering and the people behind had no hot water. Most people are still afraid of cold, mainly because they are afraid of cold, so they would rather not take a shower. Because of my special situation, I can take a shower first every day, and the warehouse doesn't dare to preempt me. As for the others, most simply don't shower. Number 37 is one of these people, and it seems that he hasn't showered in a few days.

I understood his mood and wanted to take a shower, so I agreed to go with him.

I thought that Dongzi was taking special care of me and No. 37 and did not let us go to work, but when I arrived at the shower room, I found that several people who came in with us who were not afraid of the cold were taking a shower.

Later, I learned that there was a rule in the labor camp that no one who was sent in on the first day did not have to go to work.

I saw that the 11th was also taking a shower.

Number 11 saw me come in and said with a shiver, "Fuck, it's worse than the detention center lock, and there's not even a little hot water." ”

I said, "No. 11, be content, this is no longer a detention center, and there is no warehouse to take care of you!" "I took off my clothes, bravely stood under a tap, unscrewed the tap, and after a cold fight, began to challenge the invasion of cold water.

Number 37 also followed my example and bravely began to take a shower.

No. 11 approached me and said, "Reporter, you're like this, what else do I dare to say?" Follow you in the future! As he spoke, he turned on the faucet fiercely.

I said, "Don't call me a reporter in the future, this is not a prison in a detention center." My surname is Da, just call me Dalong. ”

No. 11 said: "Yes, our head also said, it turns out that the number in the detention center is not counted here, my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Xueming." ”

Number 37 followed and said, "My name is Gou Shunzi." ”

I asked Wang Xueming, "What crime did you commit?" How many years to sentence? ”

Wang Xueming said: "Pickpocketing, on the bus, 506 yuan, sentenced me to two years of labor reeducation. ”

Gou Shunzi said: "I was arrested because I did not have a temporary residence permit, and I was sentenced to one year of re-education through labor because I was fined three thousand yuan and had no money. ”

I said, "I'm just like you, it's a year, and we can go out together." ”

Wang Xueming asked me: "You are a journalist, what did you do and you were sentenced to one year?" ”

I said, "Don't call me a reporter anymore, my name is Dalon." I didn't do anything, maybe I offended someone. ”

Gou Shunzi said: "Then call you Brother Long." Brother Long is just as wronged as me, but what can be done? Caught in, they have the final say. ”

"Don't complain!" The little flat-headed custodian suddenly appeared at the door of the shower room, "You will come across meat on the first day you come in, and you can take a shower casually." What's the matter, I'm not satisfied! Shut the! ”

After saying that, he left.

I said to Wang Xueming and Gou Shunzi: "Okay, don't talk, it's much freer here than in the prison in the detention center, hurry up and go back after showering, be careful of catching a cold." ”
