Chapter I
Hey, this half of my life
Wang Ziqing Ding Ding
One
Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng came to Chengguanbao Prison early on. The two of them made a special trip to pick them up, because their son Wei Wei was released from prison today.
Facing the closed gates, high walls, power grids, and sons in the majestic prison one by one, Sang Zixin stared and was silent without a word...... Although her son's words and deeds sometimes make her unacceptable, she still serves her son without complaint and takes care of his daily life.
However, Yu Houcheng, who saw it in her eyes and suffered "crime and punishment" in person, skillfully expressed her doting and "conniving" with her son. After hearing this, Sang Zixin defended her actions. Still, she had to reflect, but only on her own. Over the years, she has still adhered to the same principles: after all, she is a son who has not started a family and still needs to be cared for; I still need her help to move forward. Sometimes, she knows that she is self-deceiving and self-comforting, but she does not realize the success or failure of this kind of continuation. She thought: Life is supposed to be like this. Therefore, she and her best friend Yu Houcheng have a hard time looking back on the past...... Stand here. When he walked out of this door, he was given a new lease of life. Sang Zixin thought.
In prison. Wei Xinsheng was talking with two prison guards and came to the prison gate. So, the first door inside opened, and Wei Xinsheng changed into a decent suit in the two gates with clear internal and external guards. He handed over the clothes he had been wearing when he came in to the window. After everything was cleaned up, the two prison guards looked at Wei Xinsheng, who was full of heaven, and smiled knowingly.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the seemingly heavy prison gate slowly opened. After the door opened, two prison guards came out of it, and the man who followed him, carrying a bag in his hand, walked out. When he saw his mother in the sun, he quickened his pace. In order to come and greet my weathered mother. Still, he resisted his impulses. When the prison guard saw the relatives waiting, he hurriedly said, "Hello! The mother can regain her confidence in her son. The prison guards came to Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng, "After more than a year of labor reform, Wei Xinsheng has become a self-reliant laborer. He is a person who has ideals, pursuits, and looks forward to a future life. Prison guard Wu Yifan said firmly.
It was the first time Sang Zixin had heard someone praise her son. At the same time, what she and Yu Houcheng heard from the prison guards was Wei Xinsheng one by one.
"Oh, I'm sorry, your son's name is Wei Xinsheng." Wu Yifan immediately dispelled the doubts of the two old men. As soon as he arrived, he said to us: I'm sorry Mother...... He wants to change his past mistakes, find out his 'viciousness' and filthiness from the depths of his heart, thoroughly cleanse his mind and heart, clean up, and be a filial son. ”
"A person, if his life is rigid and his mind is stubborn." Another prison guard added, "It's hard to change without setbacks." Therefore, he studied and actively transformed, from clumsiness to all-round growth later; to later activists. He has said many times that the first thing is to be a good son, so that his mother can worry, feel at ease, and rest assured. ”
"Old man, we give you a perfect son."
The prison guards reported to the two elderly people about Wei Xinsheng's study, life, and labor reform in prison, and then they handed over their time to the mother and son.
When Wei Xinsheng stood in front of Sang Zixin, she instinctively reached out to pick up the bag in her son's hand, Wei Xinsheng did not let go of the bag in her hand, and put the bag on her arm, and then, he knelt down. When Sang Zixin saw her son's actions, she hurriedly leaned down and supported him. At the same time, Yu Houcheng also subconsciously lowered his waist. However, he did not get up, but looked affectionately at his mother, who was in her sixties. She did not become old because of her son's mistakes, although fine wrinkles climbed up her cheeks, her face was still delicate and ruddy, and her melon-seed-shaped face and tall and well-proportioned figure still highlighted the temperament of a charming woman.
"It's good to be back." Sang Zixin said calmly. Then she asked, "How are you?" ”。
"Mom, how are you doing?"
Wei Xinsheng thought that he should ask his mother first.
Hearing his son's greetings, a warm current flowed through my heart unconsciously.
"Mom, you've worked hard. You have suffered a lot for me. He said to Houcheng again, "Thank you, uncle, for taking care of my mother for my unfilial son." ”
When Yu Houcheng heard Wei Xinsheng's words, he was deeply moved...... But, he said, "Son, let's go home." ”
At this time, Wei Xinsheng turned around and bowed deeply to the two prison guards. "Thank you to the government for giving me a chance to be born again, and thank you for patiently educating me so that I can realize my sins. Transformation is my only way, and only transformation can make me reborn; so that I can learn the truth of life and life; in order to enable me to reintegrate into society. Thank you, thank you! ”
The two prison guards were also very moved, and they said goodbye to Wei Xinsheng and his party.
They got into the car, and Yu Houcheng drove away from the prison and headed for the highway.
In the car, Wei Xinsheng was never excited and excited. He couldn't wait to report on his transformation, and then he said his plans for the future. "Mom, uncle, what do you think I'm going to do?" Although he already had a career to do, he still had to ask the opinions of the two old men.
After listening to her son's words, Sang Zixin didn't answer immediately, but she said in her heart: Her son has changed.
Although Wei Xinsheng is forty years old, there are no wrinkles on his face, as if he is more than before to see that he has lost more than 200 pounds of fatness, his swollen stomach is flattened, and he is tall and tall, showing his tall body.
"Have you thought about what to do?" Facing her son, Sang Zixin still asked rhetorically. At the same time, she then asked, "What are you doing in there?" ”
"Mom, the work inside doesn't match the outside. Inside is an assembly line operation, only one process, which is useless. He said like a treasure.
When Sang Zixin heard this, she seemed to feel something, what was it? For so many years, Wei Xinsheng has never done anything at all, nor has he said a single sentence, let alone his own ideas and opinions, he just blindly asks for it from his father and mother, and relies on his mother infinitely. Therefore, in the face of her son, Sang Zixin is still worried.
Hearing this, Yu Houcheng, who was concentrating and looking ahead, was about to interject.
"Mom, uncle, how about opening a restaurant?" He said in an accentuated tone, "I've been thinking about this over and over again. Let my uncle teach me for half a year, you help me for half a year, and I will give you a satisfactory result. ”
"I'll see it." Yu Houcheng took over the conversation and said hurriedly. He has a second-level chef certificate and has been a chef for half his life. "Just open a restaurant." He said happily.
With Uncle Yu's support, Wei Xinsheng was like taking a reassuring pill. But when he saw that his mother did not speak, he did not say any more.
Sang Zixin knew her son too well, but the son in front of her made her feel strange. Therefore, she did not want to take a position lightly.
"Redeem a restaurant, use your own business license. Mom, you and your uncle only helped me for half a year, and I will run and manage the hotel in the future. It's time for you and your uncle to enjoy a happy old age. He said confidently, "Half a year later, I will be the main cook, hire a knife worker and waiter, and gradually develop and expand the scale in the future." He said confidently. All the procedures to be done in advance are exchanged for the hotel one by one, the business license is changed, and the walls are painted...... I'll do it. ”
Silently listened to his son's thoughts.
"Can you do it? There is a big difference between saying and doing, and it's not as simple as you say. ”
Although the words were serious, she still had some concerns.
"Mom, please trust me once." Wei Xinsheng said decisively to his mother, "I have been in contact with the canteen inside, and when I choose it, I connect it with my uncle's craftsmanship......" Facing her son's words and his careful arrangements, Sang Zixin should be happy. But no matter how she regulates her emotions, she just can't be happy.
After more than a year of training, did you really change a person who can't pick up his shoulders and can't carry his hands into a person who can "be able to write and martial arts"? She thought: Change your temper and temperament for half a lifetime? Perhaps this is Sang Zixin's concern; Maybe that's why she doesn't dare to have any more ideas and extravagant hopes? However, Sang Zixin still looked at her son. He is tall, graceful, dignified, healthy, and laughs loudly and easily. The positive and sunny son is still a good impression in the hearts of the mother and son? Over the years, Sang Zixin has long been accustomed to her son's unreasonable demands and groundless accusations. Later, she thought: maybe this is the relationship between mother and child? Hey, if you put it up, you have to accept your fate...... Since it's a good thing, she can't slow down for a while. If your son has become better and can do well, why don't you support him?
Wei Xinsheng looked at his calm mother; Looking at his mother, who has experienced vicissitudes of life, no matter what he says or does, he can't make up for his previous mistakes. He thought that only from now on, with a sincere heart, to honor his mother. This is the only thing he has to do and spend the rest of his life trying to do well.
However, what made Sang Zixin wonder was that his son, who had always been withdrawn, faced his mother and Yu Houcheng, almost his words for half his life. She looked at her son, and at the same time thought about his words, and her cold body and heart had a warm breath.
When she was serving her sentence in prison, her son spent time every time he talked to her, and his clumsy mouth and speechless state made it impossible for Sang Zixin to communicate with him. For so many years, she has become accustomed to her son's consistent words and deeds, no matter what, she obeys her words, and over time, she is physically and mentally exhausted, haggard, and numb. In the later call, Wei Xinsheng called "Mom" and couldn't cry. Later there was a word; And then ...... This reminded her of the old saying, "Three years old sees old". Can the temper, temperament, character, and conduct that have been formed for half a lifetime really change? From the moment her son stepped out of the prison gate, to standing in front of her...... Anyway, Sang Zixin still had palpitations.
Despite this, Wei Xinsheng is in front of Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng, and he has never had sunshine and vitality. Besides, he didn't look like someone who had just been released from prison. Can he really do a good job? Sang Zixin thought.
