Liu Jiaxin suddenly gossiped: "Do you know? Daniel Zhang is out of prison! Chen Xu was taken aback, "What did you say?" Liu Jiaxin hurriedly said: "When I came to see my grandmother today, I happened to see a car to send him back." After Daniel Zhang got out of the car, he looked around, and I immediately recognized him, but he didn't know me. I went back to my grandmother's house, and when I heard that she was back, she came to see you. ”

When Chen Xu heard that Daniel Zhang had returned, he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and he couldn't tell whether he was shocked or afraid. All she could do was feel her heart pounding and her head buzzing. Liu Jiaxin said anything she said, and she couldn't hear it. Liu Jiaxin saw that Chen Xu was in a bad state, so she left quickly under the pretext that she wanted to go back to help her grandmother do some work.

Grandma Chen heard that Daniel Zhang was back, and she was a little at a loss for a while, after all, she went to the police station to report Daniel Zhang for stealing cables, which caused Daniel Zhang to be arrested and sentenced to prison, and I don't know if Daniel Zhang knows this matter in his heart and will take revenge on her. She pushed Chen Xu and said, "You hurry back to the unit, the bad people in your unit can't get in, go back quickly, don't live at home." Chen Xu didn't leave immediately, but sat there silent for a long time. What happened to her was told to Liu Jingsheng, and she simply mentioned it to Han Yidao, and she said it calmly as a long-term story. But today, once she heard that Daniel Zhang was back, she suddenly became not calm, and those old days were like movies, and frame by frame appeared one scene after another. Due to their own confidants, grandma and Chen Xu were silent for a long time for a while.

"Dangdangdang" There was a knock on the door outside. Grandma suddenly shivered, and the two guessed that it must be Daniel Zhang knocking on the door outside, because Grandma Liu would not knock when she came in. So Chen Xu comforted the old man and said, "Grandma, you stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look." Grandma hurriedly stopped: "Don't go out." Chen Xu shook his head, "Grandma, you don't have to be afraid. Besides, it's useless for us to hide in the house, the door is not locked at all. If it was really Daniel Zhang, he would open as soon as he pushed it, and besides, the wall between the two of us could not stop him. With that, Chen Xu tidied up his coat, raised his legs and walked out and soon came to the door. She steadied, breathed steadily, and opened the door with both hands.

Seeing Chen Xu standing in front of him, Daniel Zhang was taken aback, he looked at Chen Xu, Chen Xu was more beautiful than ten years ago, people looked a little indifferent, not as young and uneasy as before. Chen Xu just looked at Daniel Zhang without saying a word, Daniel Zhang's hair was very short, the person was slightly fatter than before, completely a middle-aged person, completely without the arrogant and uninhibited appearance of the ruffian who fought with others at every turn. The two looked at each other for a full minute, and finally Daniel Zhang lowered his head. At this time, grandma was not at ease after all, and chased it out. Grandma came over and broke the silence, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Yong?" Are you back? Daniel Zhang coughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, I'm back." My yard is full of grass, I pulled it all down, I want to use it to make a fire, there are no matches, can you lend me a box? Grandma Chen hurriedly said, "Xu, go and get it for your brother Zhang." Chen Xu returned to the house and took a box of matches out and handed it to Daniel Zhang. Daniel Zhang took it and said "thank you" in a faint voice. Then he turned around and went back.

Grandma Chen Xu hurriedly closed the door, bolted it inside, pulled Chen Xu into the house, and whispered to Chen Xu: "Xu, this person has come out of prison, and he has been locked up in it for more than ten years, and he is not free there, he may hate me, and I don't know what he can do, you hurry back to the unit, don't live here." Chen Xu thought for a while and said, "No, grandma, I can't leave you alone at home!" Besides, he may not dare to do anything, and I don't do anything to him. Grandma still didn't feel at ease, "No, I'm not sure, you should leave quickly!" Chen Xu took his grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, you don't have to be afraid, we are not bad people, why should we be afraid of him?" There is no law to protect us! Grandma said anxiously: "We have been bullied for so many years, when will the law protect us?" Chen Xu patted his grandmother's hand, "Grandma, don't worry about it so much, let's cook and eat!" Grandma was so worried that she sat there without saying a word.

Chen Xu cooked the meal, and brought it to grandma without eating two bites.

Daniel Zhang next door sat next to the stove, originally wanted to use the grass in the yard to burn the kang to make it hot, but because it was useless for ten years, the chimney did not smoke after lighting it, but made the house full of smoke, choking him coughing and tears, he had to extinguish the fire. There was dust everywhere in the house, and he gave up the idea of burning the grass, so he carried it and threw it in the garbage heap. Daniel Zhang wanted to simply clean up the house, he pulled the switch of the light, fortunately there was still electricity, the house was very cold, the doors and windows were broken, it looked like the thief had visited many times, and there was no more valuable anything at home.

Daniel Zhang sat there a little dazed, for more than ten years, he has been seriously out of touch with this society. When she was released from prison, the community corrections department went to pick her up, and her mother, who she hadn't seen for many years, finally showed up this time. She said in tears, "Come out this time and be a good person and live a good life." As he spoke, he wiped his tears and gave him 500 yuan. He calmly let his mother stuff the money into his pocket, and watched his mother leave with a blank face. Since Daniel Zhang was a teenager and his mother remarried, Daniel Zhang has rarely seen her. Daniel Zhang did not expect that now that the prisoners have been released from prison, they have such good treatment, and there are actually community corrections people who came to pick him up from prison, sent him home, and gave him a new mobile phone as a positioning tool. The mobile phone is still similar to the mobile phone style ten years ago, but you must know that the mobile phone was still a luxury item when he was imprisoned. He had recently seen smartphones used by prison police officers and was amazed at how quickly they were developing.

Daniel Zhang saw the earth-shaking changes in Beicheng, and he was a little incredulous. It wasn't until the car drove to his own area that he felt a little familiar. He thought of Chen Xu more than once in prison, thinking that this little girl has grown up now, maybe she is married and has children, I don't know what kind of life she lives, will her husband beat her? What kind of work will she do? Go to work as a waiter, or to sell clothes? She is good-looking, she is a good clothes rack, and it should be more suitable to sell clothes in the mall. This is all he imagines about Chen Xu's life.

Today, Daniel Zhang was surprised when he saw Chen Xu, Chen Xu was even more beautiful and looked noble. Although he didn't understand women's clothes, as soon as he saw that Chen Xu's clothes were well-made, he knew that they were worth a lot of money. Chen Xu is no longer the poor girl who let him take what he wants and comes at the moment, and now he has become a person he can't climb. In prison, he often thinks of Chen Xu, and always thinks that she is his woman, but he never thought that Chen Xu would wait for him, he knew that Chen Xu was forced by his obscenity at that time, and he didn't dare to disobey, maybe Chen Xu was happy that he was sentenced to prison!

Daniel Zhang never thought that he met Chen Xu on the first day he was released from prison, and it was false to say that he was not excited, but the gap between the two people after ten years was too great and it was no longer possible.

Chen Xu still slept on the bed in the hut at night, and those dusty past events suddenly broke the seal with Daniel Zhang's return, and suddenly came alive.
