Chapter 27 Chapter 25 Celebrating the Spring Festival in Prison

When Liu Chuan returned to the sub-district, Liang Dong and the other three nominated prisoners had already returned.Before the meal, Feng Ruilong called Liu Chuan to the office to talk. Liu Chuan understood that the number of votes for the review must have come out. Feng Ruilong got straight to the point, and told Liu Chuan the result of the review as soon as he came up.The dramatic results were unexpected. Among the five nominated prisoners, Sun Zhiyong from Class Seven actually came out on top.Although Sun Zhiyong only ranked sixth in the sub-district in terms of score last year, he won the second prize for his contribution "Great Project" in the "One Day of Love" essay competition held by well-known media such as China Youth Daily and Legal News. It caused an uproar among the prisoners throughout the prison.As long as any prisoner has outstanding achievements and is recognized by the society, it will bring strong psychological comfort to all prisoners. At least they will think that this is good for improving the social image of this special group of prisoners.In addition, Sun Zhiyong is usually very popular among prisoners, so this time the evaluation scored the highest.Qian Ming from Class 6 and Liang Dong from Class 4 had the same score and tied for second place. Liu Chuan was three votes behind them and ranked fourth. The last place was Fan Chao from Class 3. The disadvantage was obvious, and he was six points behind Liu Chuan. More than ten votes.

After talking about the situation, Feng Ruilong handed a blank evaluation form to Liu Chuan and said, "You are the only one in our sub-district who did not vote. Although you are also a candidate, you have the same right to participate in democratic evaluation as everyone else. This is a competitive selection. Among the five candidates, you can only choose two people, or you can choose only one person. You can choose others, you can choose yourself, or you can choose no one. If you don’t choose, you will abstain.” Liu Chuan took the selection form, which was only half a page in size, thought for three seconds, and voted for Sun Zhiyong first.After thinking about it again, he cast the second vote, which was also the last vote for the entire third division, to Liang Dong.

Feng Ruilong and another team leader in the room took his selection form and looked at it thoughtfully for a while, as if they couldn't understand it. "Why don't you vote for yourself?" Feng Ruilong asked.At that time, Liu Chuan's heart was so cold, he didn't understand why he ranked first in points in the entire prison area, but only ranked fourth in points.He said listlessly: "I'm three votes short, and I voted for nothing." Feng Ruilong pondered for a while, and then asked: "Didn't you suspect that Liang Dong from your class destroyed your blackboard newspaper? Why did you vote for him again?" Liu Chuan Dazed for a moment, he covered up and said, "No, who said I doubted Liang Dong?" Feng Ruilong said, "Didn't you tell Chen Youcheng?" Liu Chuan blushed with anger, and blurted out, "It was Chen Youcheng who told you about Liang Dong." I said it." Feng Ruilong didn't bother who told whom, and asked: "Do you believe what he said?" Liu Chuan lowered his head, Feng Ruilong asked again, and Liu Chuan said: "Believe it. Feng Ruilong asked: "What letter are you based on? Liu Chuan said: "He just wants to go home, he is so stupid, in fact, he is more expensive than me if he doesn't make such a fuss." Feng Ruilong asked: "Then why do you still vote for him?"Do you want to fulfill him, or is it because he is from your fourth class? "Liu Chuan said: "Didn't his mother have cancer?I think that if a person has filial piety, he is not considered bad at home. "

Liu Chuan's words silenced Feng Ruilong, and also silenced the other captain in the room. They put away the last selection form in silence, and asked Liu Chuan to reply.When Liu Chuan walked to the door of the captain's office, Feng Ruilong stopped him again. Feng Ruilong said: "Liu Chuan, remember, if you encounter anything in the future, as long as there is no sufficient evidence, don't believe in any suspicion, understand?" Liu Chuan said, "Yes." In the many conversations between the captains and Liu Chuan, Liu Chuan gradually knew where he scored and where he lost points in this review.

The reason for scoring is still the known things. In the discussion of the review, the people who voted for Liu Chuan believed that: during his tenure as a health worker, the prisoner was not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and devoted himself to his duties; The prisoner has won honors; the prisoner is good at labor, and the daily production record created by folding and pasting paper bags is still unmatched by anyone; Put forward rationalization suggestions to the government, and respond to the government’s call for prison affairs to be made public; the prisoner’s daily life language is better in execution, and other prisoners ask the barber to cut their hair, lift their buttocks and leave, but this prisoner says thank you every time. ...

The reason for losing points is nothing new. Prisoners who did not vote for Liu Chuan believed that the prisoner had not written a confession statement for more than two years in prison, but he wrote it suddenly on the eve of this selection, with impure purpose and suspicion of speculation; The prisoner was unable to "quickly, quietly, and neatly" when gathering several times; the fish and flowers raised by the prisoner died, which showed that the prisoner could not be serious and responsible, and lacked love... A week later, on Wednesday night, the prisoners in the third division watched TV. Feng Ruilong, the head of the division, went to the prisoners sitting in line and announced the list of prisoners who had been approved by the prison leadership to go home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival.Of these two happy prisoners, one is Sun Zhiyong from Class 7, and the other is Liang Dong from Class 4.

Of course, the two prisoners who were allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year were very excited. Feng Ruilong, the head of the sub-prison, and the responsible police of the two prisoners also asked them to talk and educate them about leaving the prison to visit their relatives, and asked them to serve as voluntary publicists during the visit. The responsibility of the three members, the image displayer and the social investigator.One is to publicize the "new century, be a newcomer" activity among prison inmates and the competition upsurge of "preparing for the Olympics and promoting reform"; To be able to help; to ask for help in the road, to be able to extend a helping hand; to be able to stand up in the face of injustice; the third is to conduct a survey of the new changes and new styles of Beijing before the Olympics, and bring back the experience and feelings, so that the whole sub-district of inmate learning commons.In addition, the most important thing is to abide by the law and discipline, and return to prison on time.

Although Sun Zhiyong and Liang Dong were both intellectuals, they couldn't hold back their expressions of joy at the moment. They had both served their sentences inside the big wall for many years. This would be the first time they had walked out of this deep prison in so many years See the scenery outside the wall, see your relatives and friends.They have repeatedly expressed their determination to live up to the hopes and entrustments of the leaders of the sub-district. They must turn this journey of visiting relatives into a journey of reforming thoughts and reshaping souls, turning opportunities into motivation, and further laying a solid foundation for future reforms.

After the conversation, Feng Ruilong asked Sun Zhiyong to go back to the cell first, and asked Liang Dong to stay. Feng Ruilong asked Liang Dong: "Liu Chuan from your class was unable to leave the prison to visit relatives this time, is there any emotion?" Liang Dong thought for a while, and said, "Emotions are always there, but this time it's not a list made by government cadres alone, this time it's everyone's evaluation, and he can't be dissatisfied if they didn't judge him. Flowers also raise fish to death He is also raised to death, and it is time for him to reflect on it."

Feng Ruilong said: "Hey, the death of the flower and the death of the fish are two different things from not approving him to visit relatives. He actually got a lot of votes this time, not too far behind you and Qian Ming. Except for Fan Chao's low votes this time, how many of you Everyone is about the same. Sun Zhiyong has five votes more than you and Qian Ming, you and Qian Ming are tied for second place, and Liu Chuan has three votes less than you..." Liang Dong cautiously tried to correct Feng Ruilong's ranking: "It seems that Qian Ming and I are also one vote behind, but it is indeed very close. My vote can be regarded as a narrow victory."

"Ah, yes," Feng Ruilong seemed to remember now, "That's right, you and Qian Ming had an equal vote, and then Liu Chuan voted for you." As if Liang Dong didn't understand, the eyeballs in his glasses suddenly stopped moving.Or, he understood it, but couldn't figure it out.Or, he figured it out too—he had a super-smart mind—but, very unexpectedly. This is Liu Chuan's third Spring Festival after he was imprisoned.The Spring Festival inside the big wall is another taste. Compared with previous years, the New Year's Eve dinner on the 30th night included four cold dishes and two bottles of drinks, and the staple food was dumplings.This year's dumplings are stuffed with three delicacies, which is enough.After eating a lot, I watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV. After seeing the clock ringing at midnight, I went back to the number to rest.There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and only this day can sleep so late.When the bell struck at midnight, the captain on duty and all the prisoners counted down together following the shouts on the TV: "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." When Liu Chuan counted aloud, only he could hear it. He choked up, because he thought of grandma and Ji Wenzhu, he thought that they must be watching TV tonight.Grandma is in a nursing home, and Ji Wenzhu is at her parents' home in Jiangsu. They must all be sitting by the TV, but I don't know if they are counting in unison, just like him, thinking about them while counting, Bless them. "five four three two one!" The bell on the TV rang and everyone cheered.Liu Chuan didn't shout along with him: "Ah—" He just sat on the small bench and applauded along with the cheering prisoners in the queue.He thought, if Ji Wenzhu really went back to his hometown in Jiangsu, he would not be able to see her even if he was approved to go home for the New Year. On the first day of the new year, the sub-district allowed everyone to sleep until nine o'clock in the morning.The whole morning was free activities. In the afternoon, we organized to the playground to participate in the theatrical performance meeting of the whole prison. In the evening, each sub-district performed their own performances.The theatrical performances of Quanjian mainly depend on the level. Many actors are professional outside, and their basic skills have not been neglected.The party in the sub-district is mainly for fun, with familiar faces performing familiar things around them. Because the emphasis is on entertaining and entertaining, many programs inevitably have too much preaching.Liu Chuan participated in the small chorus "Shout One Two One" by all the seven classes. This song is a queue song that every prisoner sings almost every day. He also boldly changed the key. He did not expect such a well-known song to be so old-fashioned, and it won a lot of applause.Liu Chuan sang very hard, singing as fully as he used to when he sang rock in the "Scream" band.They have practiced this program for a long time, just like monks will become devout after chanting scriptures for a long time. After singing those lyrics that were not distracted before, every single word made him feel very excited. —— Shout out one, two, one, don't lower your head, take the first step of a new life, and walk the road of life again.Shout out one, two, one, don't hesitate anymore, work hard to transform and re-behave toward the light, we will be reborn from winter to spring, and the expectations of our loved ones will be kept in mind.Shout one two one, don't hesitate, one two three four! On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Chuan started to go to work.The Sunshine Supermarket opened as usual on the second day of junior high school, and each sub-district organized inmates to come to buy things. Although only eight people could enter at a time, the arrangement was very dense.On this day, Liu Chuan was in charge of bookkeeping as usual, and he was dizzy from morning to night. When closing time at four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ke came unexpectedly.The policeman on duty in the supermarket asked her why she didn't spend the holidays at home. She said that she was afraid that the prisoner would shop a lot these days, so she came to look at the goods and check the account, and she could help with the cooking if she made a mistake during the busy schedule.The policeman on duty said that it is no wonder that your Life and Sanitation Division reported that you were advanced this year. It seems that it really lives up to the name.Xiao Ke smiled, with a serious look on her face. When helping Liu Chuan to reconcile the accounts, Xiao Ke saw that there was no one around, and suddenly said to Liu Chuan: "I went to see your grandma today. Many elderly people in that nursing home were taken home by their families for the New Year. Yesterday your grandma's house She was left alone, and she lived alone on New Year's Eve. I saw the situation and picked her up today, and let her stay at our house for a few days, so my parents can chat with her , Push her to the street and walk in the park, cook her something delicious, so that the old lady won’t be too bored in the nursing home alone.” Liu Chuan nodded while listening, with tears in his eyes, but forced a smile on his face.He smiled and said thank you to Xiao Ke, he said: "Thank you Zheng Zheng, I will work hard and repay Zheng Zheng..." Before he finished speaking, Liu Chuan's smile was still distorted by crying, he couldn't help but look like a child He seemed to cry with his voice suppressed: "...I, I kowtow to you for my grandma, Zheng Guan, you are so kind to my grandma, I don't know how to repay you in my life..." Xiao Ke originally said it in a calm and business-like tone, and she just wanted to reassure Liu Chuan, but she didn't expect that Liu Chuan would suddenly sob and cry while talking.The circles of her eyes also turned red. I don't know if it's because of Liu Chuan's crying face, or because of the title Liu Chuan used to call her. The words "Zheng discipline" made Xiao Ke feel sad. compassion. Xiao Ke didn't shed tears, looked at the captain and the prisoner in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Why are you crying, you don't want your grandma to be with us!" Liu Chuan lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said, "Yes." "I want you to cry," Xiao Ke said, "Stupid!" That night, Liu Chuan dialed the phone number of Xiao Ke's home with the consent of the sub-district, and got on the phone with grandma.After grandma moved into the nursing home, it was very inconvenient to talk on the phone. He and grandma only had one family phone call, and it was when Zhong Da went to visit grandma in the nursing home, he called with his mobile phone.Xiao Ke also went to the nursing home several times, but she didn't want people in the prison to know that she was going, so she didn't make a call for her grandma.Of course, she is not as convenient as Zhong Da in this regard. Zhong Da is the leader of the first prison district. It is reasonable and legal to call Liu Chuan to talk to his grandma because of the needs of the reform work, and it is also a matter within the scope of authority.What is she? She is from the Department of Life and Hygiene, so no matter how you talk about it, you can't control this paragraph.If everyone knew that she always went to see Liu Chuan's grandma, there would be no guarantee that gossip would not spread. On the third day of junior high school, Xiao Ke didn't come.I didn't come on the fourth day.For some reason, Liu Chuan sat at the checkout counter of the Sunshine Supermarket. Although his hands were very busy, there was always a thin string in his heart, thinking about her constantly. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, when it was still closing time, Xiao Ke came again, talked with the prisoner in charge of loading the goods, and came to see Liu Chuan's account.When checking the accounts, I told Liu Chuan that his grandma had a good life these days. She went to Tiananmen Square to watch the lanterns, and then went to the Ditan temple fair. She pushed Liu Chuan's grandma, and her mother pushed her father. I went alone.However, the temple fair was very windy that day, so I didn't go around for too long. Liu Chuan listened, and compared with the day of the second day of junior high school, his expression was much calmer, with a shy smile on his face all the time.That kind of shyness represents the heartfelt gratitude, and in Xiao Ke's view, it surpasses all words of gratitude. After Xiao Ke finished speaking, Liu Chuan suddenly said: "You haven't come these two days, I feel very empty, and I always wonder if you can still come." Xiao Ke heard these words, almost expressing a kind of love, her ears were red and her heart was beating, and she was very excited, but fortunately she didn't show it.She tentatively asked: "You miss your grandma, are you afraid that you won't eat well in our house?" Still shy, Liu Chuan said, "No." Then he said, "I thought, you're coming, and I have something to ask you." Xiao Ke said: "Don't tell me what you want, just tell me what you want to ask me?" Liu Chuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "Can you contact Ji Wenzhu? Has her phone changed again? I want to say Happy Chinese New Year to her." Xiao Ke looked at Liu Chuan and didn't say a word for a long time.Liu Chuan was a little embarrassed by her silence and didn't dare to meet her eyes.As if he had done something wrong, he cautiously continued in a tentative tone with obvious fluke: "Can you help me...call her? She...she sends me money every month, I think Thank her. I want to wish her, and her family, a happy Chinese New Year." Xiao Ke spoke slowly, with a calm voice and a gentle tone. If only by the voice and tone, it is almost impossible to tell that it is a kind of categorical rejection. "I can't find her. Her phone number has been changed long ago. Even if I can find her, I can't make this call for you. I can't break the prison police's 'nine don'ts' rule. I can't give you any money without permission. No one can bring any messages. Yesterday your grandma asked me to bring you something you like to eat, and I told her the same way. I told her that you already have money in your account, and your grandma let you see If there is anything you like to eat in the supermarket, just buy something to eat. Don’t care about how much money you have, as Chinese New Year should look like Chinese New Year.” After a pause, Xiao Ke said again: "If you really want to find Ji Wenzhu and give her a message, you can ask your captain in charge. Now your captain is Pang Jiandong. If he agrees, he will go to the superior for you. Please, this matter must be approved by your prison area." Knowing the rules, Liu Chuan bowed his head and was speechless for a moment. Xiao Ke saw that his mood dropped instantly, so she added more gently: "What I mean, do you understand?" This question was meant to be comforting, but Liu Chuan heard it as a criticism of education. He immediately replied in a normal voice, "Yes!" The word "yes" in a straight voice made Xiao Ke stunned for a moment, it was really boring.The captain on duty came over with several other prisoners working in the supermarket, and asked Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke, have you finished reconciling the accounts?" Xiao Ke said, "It's over." Then he said to Liu Chuan: " You go back." Liu Chuan replied more formally: "Yes." On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the prisoners are still on holiday, and groups of prisoners still come to buy things.During the Spring Festival, the most sold items in supermarkets are all kinds of snacks. Eating is the first priority of Chinese people during festivals. Liu Chuan didn't buy anything.He wanted to save money, and in case he could go home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival next year, he could take out all the money and bring it with him, and buy something for grandma and Ji Wenzhu outside.He spends the festival in prison alone, and eats some snacks alone. Even though he tastes sweet in his mouth, he has no taste in his heart.It's better not to eat if it doesn't taste good. The Spring Festival is coming to an end, he weighed for a long time and finally proposed to Pang Jiandong that he would like to call Ji Wenzhu to greet him.According to regulations, family calls can only be made to immediate family members, not to boyfriends and girlfriends, but will the restrictions be relaxed during the Spring Festival?So Liu Chuan deliberated and decided to tentatively make this request when the captain of the account was happy, and also had the mentality of making a big deal. Sure enough, Pang Jiandong did not immediately refuse, but instead asked him: "Isn't she going back to her hometown for the holidays? Do you have her home phone number?" Liu Chuan was happy, and mustered up his courage to push forward: "Captain, didn't you look for her last time? If you can still find her, please help me find out her mobile phone. I can call her mobile phone." Pang Jiandong remained silent for a long time, and Liu Chuan felt that he was a little unhappy from his silence.Sure enough, Pang Jiandong put on a serious face: "Liu Chuan, what do you think of me as an errand runner between you? If I do it, I will violate the 'Nine Prohibitions', you know that!" Pang Jiandong turned away and left. Liu Chuan stood behind him blankly, and it took him a long time to remember and say: "Yes." This day Liu Chuan felt extremely uncomfortable. He went to work in the supermarket as usual, and his face was also stern all day, although he knew that he was ignoring it. On this day, the supermarket closed at four o'clock as usual.But around 4:30, Liu Chuan was not escorted back to the prison area with several other prisoners serving in the supermarket. Instead, he was escorted by another policeman and came to the meeting building in front. Of course, it wasn't grandma, let alone Ji Wenzhu, who came to meet him in the prison on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but two criminal policemen from the Qinshui Public Security Bureau.This time it is not the two comrades who came last time, but what they are talking about is still the case mentioned last time. From the mouths of the two Qinshui criminal policemen, Liu Chuan knew that Fan Bencai had been arrested according to law a few months ago, and that more than 20 masters and subordinates of Fan Bencai's underworld gang were also arrested in the same case.After several months of trial, it was basically determined that the Fanbencai gang was formed eight years ago and was involved in multiple crimes of kidnapping, extortion, injury, illegal detention, gambling and prostitution, and bribery of government officials in the Qinshui area.The purpose of the Qinshui police coming to Liu Chuan this time was to ask him to further confirm some specific incidents and details of the process. They talked for several hours, so that Liu Chuan didn't have dinner that night. On the menu for Chinese New Year, mutton pie was served that night.For Liu Chuan, mutton pies are more worth looking forward to than Sanxian dumplings. On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, although everyone was still allowed to move freely in the morning, playing chess and cards, bragging and chatting, but in the afternoon the team leader asked the class to discuss the experience of the festival in the past few days.In addition to thanking the government for its concern for the prisoners, and talking about the feelings of relatives meeting and making family calls in the past few days, the important purpose of the discussion is actually to calm down and transform the relaxed and happy days into the motivation for reform.Before eating at noon, Sun Zhiyong, who went home to visit his relatives, returned to the team early.An hour later, Liang Dong also returned to prison early.After all, Liang Dong was the monitor of the class. When he returned to the class, everyone came forward to ask questions and exchange friendly greetings.Liu Chuan also greeted him politely, and went out to fetch water.When he returned to the cell after fetching water, Liang Dong came forward unexpectedly. He picked up a cardboard box from the ground next to his bed, which he had brought from home. His gaze cast a smile on Liu Chuan, and his tone was full of kindness and sincerity that had never been seen before. "Liu Chuan, I brought this specially for you, I hope you like it." Liu Chuan was a little at a loss, with a corresponding smile on his face, but he didn't know whether to take it with his hands.Both of them were embarrassed for a moment. Liang Dong put the box on the table, opened the lid, stretched out his hands, and tremblingly brought out a clay basin from the inside, with a tall and straight green asparagus bamboo in the basin.That asparagus bamboo was obviously carefully selected, with a vigorous posture, rich layers, beautiful stems and straight leaves, towering branches, and full color and luster. It is definitely the top grade of asparagus bamboo, and it must be rare to see it in ordinary flower shops. Liu Chuan was amazed and didn't know what to say. When he was too late to speak, Liang Dong's hands magically took out another plastic water cup with a lid from the treasure chest-like cardboard box.In that transparent water glass, an equally transparent glass fish hangs calmly in mid-air. Those old-fashioned eyes look at Liu Chuan affectionately, as if they were predestined in a previous life. At least at that moment, Liu Chuan felt, The glass fish staring at him is his "glass", the "glass" that has been away for many days, and it is back. And the asparagus tree, which grew lushly, has returned. The glass swam back to the sea-like fish tank by the wall, and into the tuft of floating seaweed.That was its territory, its home, and it went back as if everything was back to normal, as if it had never happened.Only the pot of asparagus bamboo was placed on the row of small tables and in the middle of the row of flower pots. It looked green and a bit eye-catching. Liu Chuan fed the "glass" and watered the asparagus as before.When he watered the asparagus, he often couldn’t help but panic—is his asparagus still the same asparagus in the past, or the one who came to see him, comfort him, and send him money every month for him to spend? ?She is so tall and beautiful, so extraordinary, can she still belong to him and depend on him like before? Liu Chuan has already deposited more than 1,200 yuan in his account, and in the past year, he has received a total of 1,500 yuan in remittances.Including the 345 yuan he bought for Ji Wenzhu's flowers, he spent a total of more than 700 yuan, plus the wages he earned from working in the workshop and the supermarket, and the remaining 1,000 yuan was in his During the sentence, I am afraid that it will not be spent.He thought that Ji Wenzhu probably estimated this situation, and after his deposit exceeded one thousand, he didn't send him any more money.The deposit of 1,200 yuan is in the third sub-district, which can be regarded as a veritable rich man. Inside the big wall, there are countless prisoners serving their sentence, whether it is ten years, twenty years, or indefinitely, all of them will have a woman in their hearts.This woman, maybe his lover, maybe his mother, maybe his daughter... The warmth in his heart, his conscience, his yearning for the world, and his inner comfort are often all because of this. woman.Just like Liu Chuan because of Ji Wenzhu, because of his grandma, just like Sun Peng because of his wife, because of his daughter.Sun Peng, what a ruthless person, what a ruthless heart, but he really cares about his wife and children.After the Spring Festival, Sun Peng's treatment level was upgraded from second-level lenient management to first-level lenient management, and he finally got the qualification and opportunity to reunite with his wife.Since the sub-district had set a date for him two weeks in advance, Sun Peng seemed to have lost his soul, all he wanted was to wait for his wife to come to meet him at Magpie Bridge.In those two weeks, Sun Peng treated everyone around him with kindness and kindness, and was extremely polite.This is the first time that Sun Peng has been allowed to reunite with his relatives after being imprisoned, and it is the first time that he can spend three days with his wife and children in the reunion building.Three days is not short, he is very content.Liu Chuan can feel that feeling, although Liu Chuan has never had the experience of being reunited with his relatives. Liu Chuan has long been a first-level lenient management, and has long been eligible to live in the reunion building for a few days, but who will he live with.and grandma?Grandma can't come.And Ji Wenzhu?Ji Wenzhu has no legal relationship with him.Taking a step back, the government allowed him to live together with Ji Wenzhu, and Ji Wenzhu was filming outside all year round, so where could he find her? Liu Chuan couldn't be reunited with his family, so he focused on Sun Peng's upcoming happiness with almost the same excitement and anticipation as Sun Peng.How many intimate imaginations can be conjured up in these happy seventy-two hours, especially when they are about to arrive, they are even sweeter.Liu Chuan chatted with Sun Peng when he had nothing to do in the past few days. Their common topic, the most frequent keywords in the topic, were women, children, and reunion. Sun Peng also comforted Liu Chuan: You are better than me. If there is no accident during the Spring Festival next year, you will be allowed to go home to visit relatives. What is it like to live outside for six or seven days? Besides, your sentence is shorter than mine. In two years, you can go out completely.If your sentence is reduced this year and next year, you will go to the release education class in less than two years. When they said this, no one thought that before the scheduled reunion date, Sun Peng's wife suddenly said that she would not be able to come, but Liu Chuan unexpectedly walked out of the house a few days later in the early morning. Deep prison. Sun Peng’s wife told Sun Peng in a family phone call that the leader of their unit gave her a chance to study in Shenzhen technical school for half a year, and she would be qualified for promotion after half a year, so she had entrusted her child to The parents of her and Sun Peng let their children live in the homes of the two elderly people in turn.This opportunity is once in a lifetime for her, and she will leave with the team next Monday.Next Monday was originally the day when Sun Peng's wife came to the prison for a reunion, but now it seems that he can only give up. Of course Sun Peng was happy for his wife, but also depressed for himself. The family reunion he had been looking forward to for a long time almost became his spiritual support for a while. These three complete days and nights were also once in a thousand years for him.But his wife is going to study in Shenzhen, which is related to her future, which cannot be delayed. Sun Peng has nothing to say, and it is difficult to express what he feels at the moment. And Liu Chuan's sudden release from prison was because of the case of Qin Shui Laofan.The Qinshui People's Court will open its first court session in two weeks to hear the case of Fan Bencai's underworld gang.The case has a huge impact in Qinshui, and the concerns of the masses and the aspects involved are relatively complicated, so it has become a major event in the local area and has attracted the attention of the media.Therefore, the Qinshui Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate have contacted relevant parties in Beijing many times, requesting to detain Shan Juan, a prisoner serving a sentence in Beijing Women's Prison, Liu Chuan, a prisoner serving a sentence in Beijing Tianhe Prison, and Fan Fan, a prisoner serving a sentence in Beijing No. 2 Prison. Xiaokang went to Qinshui to testify in court.At the same time, Fan Xiaokang, as a key member of Fan Bencai's underworld organization, will be tried together with Fan Bencai.According to Qinshui's request, the Beijing Municipal Prison Management Bureau decided that the Tianjian Deportation Section, the only repatriation agency in the overall situation, would be responsible for escorting Shan Juan, Liu Chuan, and Fan Xiaokang to Qinshui. The time is also set for Monday next week. Beijing departure. The Bureau of Prisons formally issued an order Friday to carry out the operation, code-named "Forward."On Saturday and Sunday, Tianjian made two days of preparations.Because there are too few prisoners and the time is too tight, it is not realistic to contact the train to Qinshui.So the Tianjian decided to use a car to escort them.Coincidentally, on Saturday, almost all the members of the Tianjian Deportation Section were mobilized to escort 263 prisoners along the Beijing-Guangzhou line to Henan, Hunan, Hubei, and Guangdong provinces, and it took them about six days to return.Therefore, Deng Tieshan, the warden of the prison, instructed the first prison district to send people to take on the task of "forward" escort.Anyway, Zhong Tianshui, Feng Ruilong and other cadres in the first prison district used to be old people in the deportation department, and they are very expert in long-distance escorting prisoners. After research, the first prison area decided to let Feng Ruilong and Pang Jiandong participate in this mission. Feng Ruilong had seven years of experience in repatriation work, and Pang Jiandong was Liu Chuan's captain, and he was young and strong.Because there was also a female prisoner among the prisoners escorted this time, Zheng Xiaoke, a cadre from the Life and Sanitation Department, was seconded.Among the three prisoners, the two men and one woman, Liu Chuan is still an activist in prison reform, and with only two years left in his sentence, he should be relatively stable and easy to manage.The one who needs a little attention on the way is actually Fan Xiaokang alone.But three escort officers, two armed police soldiers, plus two drivers, seven police officers are of course enough strength to deal with a dangerous person. On Saturday and Sunday, Feng Ruilong and Pang Jiandong were busy preparing for this mission - researching the route, preparing things to bring, contacting the place where the police rested and the prison where the prisoners were temporarily held, etc.On the other hand, Liu Chuan spent his Saturdays and Sundays in a normal state. Apart from helping the kitchen for half a day, he spent most of his time endorsing books.The time for the international law exam is very close, and he hasn't read many must-read books.Like Shan Juan and Fan Xiaokang, he was completely unaware of the "Forward" operation that was about to depart on Monday. Saturday was a sunny day with no clouds and no wind.On Sunday morning, it rained unexpectedly.On Sunday afternoon, another unexpected thing happened. Feng Ruilong didn't know whether he didn't eat well for lunch or was caught in the rain before the meal. He vomited and diarrhea all afternoon, and even developed a high fever.After the doctor's examination, it was said that the acute gastroenteritis was caused by the wind and cold.The preparations for Qin Shui's escort were not yet finished, but Feng Ruilong had to lie down and hang up the bottle.That day, Zhong Tianshui went to the city on business, and he didn't come back until evening. In the same car, Sun Peng's wife and three-year-old daughter came back with him.Lao Zhong had been in contact with Sun Peng's wife's work unit for a few days, and went there in person during his Sunday vacation, until he was so moved by the leadership of the unit that he finally agreed that Sun Peng's wife could go three or five days later. Let's talk about it after the reunion with my husband, anyway, I can't delay my study for a day or two, so it's not a big deal.Lao Zhong simply used his own car to brave the heavy rain to pick up Sun Peng's wife and children, and placed them directly in a reunion room in the reunion building.At that time, Sun Peng was watching the news broadcast in the sub-district. When he saw half of them being called out of the queue, the captain on duty asked him to go back to the prison cell to pick up his toiletries. Sun Peng was so frightened that he thought he had committed something and was going to join the intensive training team. Even the posture of walking is a bit abnormal.The prisoners watching TV couldn't guess what happened to him and he was going to be taken away alone on this stormy night.But they all noticed that Sun Peng was not wearing handcuffs when he was taken away, and the captain even helped him find an umbrella, so it shouldn't be a random disaster.It wasn't until he walked out of the gate of the first prison area and on the way to the reunion building that the escorting police told him the good news that fell from the sky, which made Sun Peng almost out of his mind with excitement, and couldn't tell whether his feet were in a dream , still wandering on the ground of reality. At five o'clock on Monday morning, judging from the time, Sun Peng should still be asleep in the reunion building with his wife and children in his arms, when Liu Chuan was woken up by the police on duty.Since the Bureau of Prisons uniformly ordered all prisons to cancel chores among prisoners half a year ago, the management of the details of daily life of prisoners, including getting up and going to bed, has been changed to the police.Liu Chuan got up from the bed in a daze, washed his face and left the bed alone under the supervision of the night shift leader, and was ordered to tie up his bedding, together with the washing utensils and plastic cups for drinking water, pack them all into one luggage, and then followed Behind Pang Jiandong, he walked out of the tunnel with his luggage in his arms, out of the prison area, and walked in the direction of the deportation department. It had been raining heavily for half the night, and the thick clouds slowly moved northwestward in the early morning. Before the sun showed its light, the morning light had already appeared in the sky.The morning light after the rain was extremely gorgeous, but Liu Chuan's heart was gloomy, and the luggage he was holding in his hands seemed doubly heavy because of this.Under the escort of Pang Jiandong, he walked staggeringly through the empty central playground of Tianjian. The rain that accumulated last night splashed his shoes, and the coolness on the soles of his feet made his heart beat like a drum.From the analysis of the luggage in his hand and the direction he went straight to the deportation department, he seemed to realize that he would be escorted to a different place before the sun came out.He tried several times to ask Pang Jiandong where he was going, but Pang Jiandong's face was serious and selfless.Liu Chuan finally didn't dare to speak, because asking about his whereabouts without authorization was absolutely against the rules of a criminal's status. Pang Jiandong took him to the Datong Road of the Deportation Section, where he saw Zhong Tianshui, the superintendent of the First Ward, and Zheng Xiaoke, a policeman from the Sanitation Section.As soon as he saw Zhong Da and Xiao Ke, his heartbeat that was hanging in his throat suddenly fell back to his chest. Their presence immediately calmed him down for no reason. The large tunnel in the deportation section can hold 200 prisoners ready to go at the same time. At this time, the lights are on, but it is empty.After Liu Chuan calmed down, he stretched his eyes. He saw a prisoner squatting on the corners on the east and west sides of the Datong Road, and there was also a packed luggage next to the two prisoners.Liu Chuan was also ordered to squat down against the wall. When he walked towards the wall with his luggage in his arms, he subconsciously glanced left and right, and saw that the prisoner on the left was Fan Xiaokang, who was escorted by the second prison.Although the one on the right can't see the eyebrows clearly, it can be concluded from the body shape that it is a female prisoner. There is no doubt that the female prisoner should be Shan Juan. The unexpected encounter with Shan Juan and Xiaokang is enough to make Liu Chuan roughly believe that they are about to embark on a common journey, and the final destination of this journey can only be Qinshui, a coal city thousands of miles away. The captain from the second prison and the female prison hadn't left yet, they were talking with Zhong Tianshui in a low voice, and handed over some items.Together with Xiao Ke, the policemen from the women's prison called Shan Juan, escorted her into a room next to her, and the male policemen who stayed in Tongdao began to conduct routine searches on Liu Chuan and Xiaokang before leaving prison.First, they were ordered to unpack the luggage and shake off all the bedding and sheets. The policemen touched them inch by inch with their hands, and then asked them to tie them up again.After the luggage was searched, it was the turn of the body search. Liu Chuan and Xiaokang stood side by side, two meters apart, and took off their clothes one by one until they were completely naked.Xiaokang has been in prison for the past two years, and his stomach has begun to gain weight, but Liu Chuan's figure is still the same, his limbs are still strong, his shoulders are still broad, but his body is a little thin.Since he was imprisoned, although he has undergone many body searches, Liu Chuan still shyly covers his genitals with one hand, unlike Xiaokang who is unobtrusive, shameless and shameless.Each piece of clothing was inspected and thrown back to them, and they put on one by one.While Liu Chuan was getting dressed, he listened to Pang Jiandong checking the money accounts and temporary storage items with Fan Xiaokang - mobile phones, rings and so on.From this, it is not difficult to see that Fan Xiaokang is probably gone forever.But Liu Chuan took nothing with him except for a bedding and toiletries, which meant that he would be back soon. At this time, Liu Chuan had already guessed the purpose of the trip out of ten, and it must be Lao Fan's case. They were either asked to cooperate with the police investigation, or asked them to testify in court.He couldn't see Shan Juan in the next room, wondering if she also took all the money and belongings and never came back. After the body search, dinner was served immediately. A policeman brought steamed buns and pickles, and each of them also gave a bowl of cold boiled water.Liu Chuan's mood was very depressed by this sudden morning and this departure without any warning beforehand.He didn't want steamed buns or pickles, he just wanted the bowl of cold boiled water.Pang Jiandong, who was serving meals, asked him: What's the matter, it's early for lunch.Liu Chuan said: Not hungry. Zhong Tianshui stood aside, asked Pang Jiandong to whisper a few words, and asked Pang Jiandong to take Liu Chuan to an office in the deportation department, and Old Zhong followed him in. There was no one else in the room, only Lao Zhong and Liu Chuan.Lao Zhong handed the steamed buns to Liu Chuan again, and said, "Let's eat some, so as not to be hungry on the way." Liu Chuan took the steamed buns and ate them tastelessly.Old Zhong said: "I'll go with you this time. Let's go to Qinshui. It's Fan Xiaokang's triad case. You need to go to court to testify. On the way, you help us keep an eye on Fan Xiaokang. This kid probably knows He will not be able to come back once he goes. This time, the Qinshui court may sentence him together. Maybe the sentence of death with a reprieve will be heavier than now. Anyway, he knows it well. You have to cooperate with this kid on the way. We pinned him down." Liu Chuan stopped chewing and said, "Yes." Old Zhong said, "You eat what you eat." He added, "The prison reform activist we reported to you last year has already been approved. This award can usually reduce your sentence by eight months. We have also reported the sentence reduction to the court. It is estimated that When you come back from Qinshui, you should be approved. When you go to Qinshui this time, you may be detained in the detention center of the Public Security Bureau. We have already introduced you to others, saying that you are a reform activist here, so you are here. You must perform well there, and don’t let people think that you are not worthy of your name.” Liu Chuan said, "Yes." As Lao Zhong said, Liu Chuan quickly ate the steamed bun as he ate it.每次，只要是老钟跟他说点什么，他的心就会舒畅许多，透亮许多。有很久了，他特别留意到，老钟在他面前对自己的称谓，总是用“我”或“我们”，很少使用“政府”这个其他管教最常用的词汇。He understood that this was undoubtedly a kind of special psychological care given to him by Lao Zhong. 吃完了早饭，再次放茅，单鹃、小康、刘川，一个一个在民警监视下替换着走进厕所。他们离开遣送科筒道的最后一道程序是戴铐。单鹃没戴，刘川和小康合戴一只手铐，刘川左手小康右手，铐子使两人不得不近在咫尺，但两人谁也不看谁，左手和右手，谁也不碰谁。根据十五年有期徒刑以上的犯人须戴脚镣押解的规定，民警又给小康带上了脚镣。After all the shackles were put on, the three prisoners were brought together in front of Zhong Tianshui. Pang Jiandong ordered them to squat down side by side, surrounded by a dozen policemen from the Heavenly Prison, the Second Prison and the Women's Prison.Zhong Tianshui announced the order to set off on the road in a calm tone full of majesty. “根据北京市监狱局命令，今天将你们押往秦水，我宣布，从现在起，进入非常时期……”
