Yan Shouyi did not set the alarm clock, but his subconscious mind and biological clock made him wake up on time.
After getting up, he washed and changed clothes as usual.
It's just that he was extra serious about everything today and spent twice as much time as usual.
His movement woke up Long Feicheng. Long Feicheng, who originally wanted to sleep in, suddenly remembered that he would accompany Yan Shouyi to visit the prison today, and he immediately became energetic.
Long Feicheng jumped out of bed, changed his pants and brushed his teeth, and said vaguely:
"Brother Yan, don't worry, I'm familiar with Pingshan Prison!"
Yan Shou put on his clothes and asked doubtfully: "Have you ever gone in?"
"Of course I don't. I'm a good citizen. The most I've been to is a detention center," Long Feicheng explained, "but I have many friends who are detained there."
"I never heard that people who buy prostitution will go to jail."
"Ahem, not all of my friends are like that."
Yan Shouyi, who had already changed his clothes, made himself a cup of hot tea.
This habit I learned from my grandfather in the past. Unfortunately, since arriving in Rongcheng, Yan Shouyi seems to have no time to be so leisurely.
He drank hot tea and waited for Long Feicheng to wash up.
Long Feicheng never stopped talking:
"I used to have a brother named Zhou. He had no other skills, but his skills in stealing battery cars were top-notch. He also said that all the brothers in the prison were talented and well-spoken. He really liked being in there, but he didn't know it.
How is he doing now?"
"I also have a friend whose only hobby is to drink Dali. He spends five hundred less a day. If he doesn't drink for a day, he feels uncomfortable. Then he runs out of money, so he goes to rob, and then goes in. I don't know if he drinks Dali or does any miracles.
."
"However, I heard that life in prison is not that difficult. I have to work every day, eat meat twice a week, and even have eggs and milk during holidays... Damn it, I suddenly feel that my life is not as good as theirs.
!”
Yan Shouyi said helplessly: "Can you move more quickly?"
"Yes, yes, isn't this great?"
Long Feicheng randomly found a piece of clothing from the bed, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
Well, it doesn’t stink!
That's clean!
He put on his clothes and was ready.
The two left the school, got on the bus, stopped at several stops, and got off outside Pingshan Prison.
Looking at the towering walls of the prison, Yan Shouyi felt quite emotional.
It was here that his father spent more than ten years and missed Yan Shouyi's childhood and growth.
Even when his grandfather passed away, he couldn't even take a look at him.
Yan Shouyi knew in his heart that it was not the wall that trapped his father.
The procedures for visiting a prisoner are relatively complicated.
But fortunately, this is not the first time Yan Shouyi has visited the prison, and he is very familiar with the procedures here.
Prison visits are open at nine o'clock. Visits are conducted in batches, and each person only has ten minutes of communication time each time.
While waiting for the prison to open, the two went to a nearby place and bought some steamed buns for breakfast.
It was exactly nine o'clock when we went back. After taking the number, the two of them sat in the waiting hall and waited.
Long Feicheng asked while chewing the buns:
"Brother Yan, when was the last time you came to visit me in prison?"
"Two years ago, I followed my grandfather to the northwest and had no chance to come back."
"Then what kind of person is our father? Can you tell me?"
"My dad... is tall, thin, and has dark skin. I haven't seen him for two years, so he must be a bit older."
"From your description, our dad seems very serious, right?"
Yan Shou thought for a while: "He is quite serious. I almost never saw him smile when I was a child."
Long Feicheng is a talkative guy. He has a social angst, but he can't get along with serious people.
He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it in and asked:
"You said yesterday how many people our father killed back then. What's going on? Ahem, Brother Yan, I don't mean anything else, I'm just out of curiosity..."
Yan Shouyi smiled faintly: "There's nothing I can't say. My father used to..."
"Where are the family members of No. 13? Come here as soon as you hear the number. We won't wait until the expiration date!"
Just when Yan Shouyi was about to mention what happened back then, a police officer suddenly called out Yan Shouyi's number.
It seems that things that happened back then need to be postponed for a while.
Yan Shou held the receipt, passed the security check, and followed the police officer inside.
Since Long Feicheng had nothing to do with Yan Qiu, he could not follow Yan Shouyi in.
He could only sit in a chair and worry, feeling extremely curious.
Why did Brother Yan's father kill people back then? Who did he kill?
…
"What is your name, and who is the person visiting?"
The police officer leading Yan Shouyi asked absently.
Yan Shouyi replied: "Yan Qiu."
"Yan Chou? Brother Chou?"
The police officer was obviously stunned, and then his demeanor changed, and he happily poured Yan Shouyi a cup of tea:
"Looking at your age, you should be Brother Qiu's son, right? Not bad, not bad, you are young and you have a lot of talent!"
Yan Shouyi was a little confused by this sudden change.
How can a prison guard call a prisoner brother?
I remember two years ago, when Yan Shouyi and his grandfather came to visit the prison, the police officers shouted at them, but they didn't look good.
Yan Shouyi was still a little angry at that time. Grandpa was an old man after all, and it was very disrespectful to be shouted at.
But when you think about your father being a prisoner, it's normal for people to not look at you well.
At that time, my father was extremely thin. Even when he met Yan Shou, he spoke very little.
After all, father and son hardly get along, so it is even harder for them to have a common topic.
Yan Shouyi took the water handed over by the prison guard and was a little at a loss:
"Officer, did my dad make any mistake here?"
"Why do you ask that? What mistake can Brother Qiu make?" The police officer laughed, patted Yan Shouyi on the shoulder and said, "Sit here and wait for a few minutes. I will call your dad over now!"
"oh……"
Yan Shouyi started waiting again, but his mood was different from before.
What did dad do in prison?
Why are the police officers’ attitudes so different?
This made Yan Shouyi feel uneasy.
There were other family members visiting the prison around him, and without exception, they all had red eyes and tears.
But the time left for them was very short. The police officer on the side squeezed the time and urged them to end the conversation quickly.
So during the few minutes of waiting, a lot of people had come and gone.
After a while, Yan Shou saw behind the glass a middle-aged fat man in prison uniform walking out, talking and laughing with two police officers.
Yan Shouyi just glanced at it and didn't take it too seriously.
He didn't know this fat man. He was probably a prisoner visited by other family members.
However, the fat man sat at the window closest to him. The police officer who led Yan Shouyi in also shouted to Yan Shouyi:
"Yan Shouyi, your father is here, come here quickly!"
Yan Shou looked up and saw that the police officer was pointing at a fat man he didn't recognize.
He was stunned, shook his head and said, "Officer, are you mistaken? This is not my dad!"
Although the fat man in front of me is also dark, he has a beer belly. After just a few years of eating and drinking, he can't develop such a wanton belly.
When Yan Shouyi saw his father two years ago, he was as skinny as a stick.
No matter what, you can't get involved with this fat man!
Unexpectedly, the police officer said with great certainty: "He is your father, he can't be wrong!"
Yan Shouyi: "..."
The fat middle-aged man on the other side kept pointing at the phone in front of Yan Shouyi, gesturing for him to answer it quickly.
Moreover, Yan Shouyi actually saw a look of expectation in this fat man's eyes.
This fat man must be sick!
He really regards me as his son??
Yan Shouyi reluctantly answered the phone and was about to explain the situation when he heard the fat man laugh and say:
"You brat, you are so cruel. You haven't even seen your dad for two years!"
Yan Shouyi was completely stunned.
Although the fat man in front of him is completely different from the father in his memory, the voice is undoubtedly his!
Yan Shouyi said in disbelief: "You...are you really my dad?"
The fat man laughed like a pig: "Have I changed a lot? I'm just a little fatter, so I can't recognize it!"
Yan Shouyi was shocked and said: "You are not just a little fatter! Two years ago, you were only 90 pounds, but now you must be 180 pounds! It has doubled!"
"Ahem, it's all because the food here is so good."
Yan Shou doubted his life for a moment.
In the morning, Long Feicheng said that the prison food was good, but he didn't take it seriously.
But now it seems that he believes it.
Shouldn't the prison eat pig's trotters every day?
Otherwise, how could he raise his father to be so fat???
Looking at his father in front of him, Yan Shou still couldn't accept the reality for a while.
Yan Qiu, on the other hand, was very tolerant: "Aren't you happy if dad eats better? Do you have to see dad so hungry that he is as skinny as a stick?"
Yan Shouyi quickly shook his head: "That's not the case, it's just... you have changed so much that I couldn't turn around for a while."
The changes in Yan Qiu are not just changes in appearance and body shape.
What's even bigger is his character.
Yan Shouyi said this morning that he had rarely seen his father smile since he was a child.
Later, when his father was imprisoned, it took a long time for Yan Shou to see his father again, and he never saw his father smile.
But when I came here today, the fat man in front of me was smiling from beginning to end.
Never stopped at all!
Until now, Yan Shouyi was a little doubtful whether the person in front of him was his father.
Yan Qiu looked back at the police officer beside him.
The two police officers nodded in agreement and said, "You two, father and son, have a good time reminiscing about old times. Let's go out for a smoke and come back in twenty minutes."
"Thank you."
Yan Qiu clasped his fists, and it seemed that he really became brothers with these two men.
Yan Shouyi's eyes were full of doubts.
Yan Qiu didn't give in and immediately solved Yan Shouyi's doubts.
I saw him with his legs crossed. He didn't look like he was in a prison, but more like he was meeting guests in his living room, as leisurely as he did.
"Dad has suffered a lot here over the years, not so much physically, but mainly mentally - you know, with dad's ability, I can't be trapped here."
"It's relatively quiet here, without the hustle and bustle outside. Everyone who comes in has a story to tell. I like getting along with them. When I'm alone, I can think about many issues."
"It wasn't until two years ago, not long after you and grandpa left, that I finally figured out some issues and became much more open-minded."
"As for why I call these people brothers, I just use some small techniques in Lu Ban's book to tell their fortunes and improve their fortunes. If they benefit from it, they will naturally treat me well."
"So my life here is better than others, and I eat better than others. In addition, my thoughts have become clearer, and my appetite has improved, so I am as fat as I am now."
Yan Shouyi nodded while listening.
It turned out that my father had already figured it out.
Those events of that year indeed dealt a huge blow to my father, so much so that his will became increasingly depressed.
Now seeing such a father, Yan Shouyi felt happy.
It's a pity that grandpa didn't get to see his father after he figured it out.
Yan Shouyi smiled and said, "You are doing well as you are now."
"Yes, all the brothers here are talented and well-spoken. I like it here very much." Yan Qiu replied with a smile.
Yan Shouyi was stunned.
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Yan Qiu explained: "Last year, a kid who stole a battery car came in, and he often said this. I think it's quite interesting."
"Yes...it's quite interesting." Yan Shouyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Yan Qiu suddenly stopped smiling and asked in a deep voice:
"Your grandfather..."
My father knew about the news of my grandfather's death because Yan Shouyi sent him a letter immediately.
Speaking of his grandfather, Yan Shouyi also felt a little disappointed.
On the contrary, Yan Qiu turned around and comforted Yan Shouyi: "Everyone has his own destiny, so there is no need to dwell on the past."
"In accordance with my grandfather's will, I buried his ashes on Beishan in Chenjiacun."
"Well, Chenjiacun is a place worth remembering. Your grandfather has been traveling all his life, and he stayed in Chenjiacun the longest. Maybe he has long regarded Chenjiacun as his hometown."
Yan Chou smiled reluctantly, but Yan Shouyi could still feel the sadness in his heart.
Yan Shouyi continued:
"After burying grandpa, I came to Rongcheng. I remember that grandpa arranged a marriage for me..."
Yan Qiu suddenly became interested, the sadness in his eyes was swept away, and he said with a smile:
"I said, why did you come to see me at this time? It seems like good things are about to happen! How is the girl from the Li family? Have you two gotten along? When can I have a grandson?"
Yan Shou coughed twice: "The Li family looks down on me, so I broke off the engagement on the spot."
Bang!
Yan Qiu slapped the table arrogantly: "Who the hell is the Li family? They dare to look down on you? Son, this is a good marriage to break off! But...have you become a bachelor without a wife?"
"..."
Yan Shouyi still needs some time to adapt to such a father.
He said awkwardly: "I am not single. I have a girl I like. We are in love and plan to go to her house to propose marriage soon."
Yan Qiu immediately laughed again: "Hahahaha! He is indeed my son. Our Yan family lacks everything but luck! Tell me quickly, where is this girl from? Is she pretty? When can I hold her in my arms?
grandson???"
Yan Shouyi said resentfully:
"Dad, you only care about the last question, right?"
