After going through the same routine every day, the inmates who came to the prison factory today entered their respective workrooms and waited to start work.
After the prison guard told Xiang Huan various precautions, he led her into one of the rooms.
Because this time we were making paper handicrafts, several rows of tables and chairs were set up in the workroom. Each prisoner sat at a separate table, which looked very similar to the classroom furnishings.
When the prison guard came in, a prisoner shouted, and everyone stood up, all focusing on Xiang Huan.
Xiang Huan forced himself not to look at them, clutching the strap of his backpack with both hands, and followed closely beside the prison guard.
Without looking directly, but he could still see roughly everything from the corner of his eye, Xiang Huan estimated that there should be more than a dozen prisoners in this room.
I wonder if he will be there too.
After the prison guard said a few words as usual, he began to call the names. Before the roll call, he took a chair for Xiang Huan to sit down first.
When the roll call started, Xiang Huan also looked at the male prisoners carefully.
She was so nervous that sweat was running down her temples. She was not afraid of having close contact with these prisoners.
What Xiang Huan is afraid of is that her extravagant hopes will soon come true. What she is afraid of is that she cannot bear the result.
The prison guard read out the numbers one by one, and loud responses appeared, from the first to the seventeenth, and soon to the last.
No, there was not the one Xiang Huan was looking forward to from beginning to end.
She really lost the bet.
The prison guard uncle began to explain the work tasks that started today. After that, he called Xiang Huan and introduced her. At the same time, he warned not to violate the rules with words and deeds.
Next, Xiang Huan comes on stage,
She took out the samples and prototypes she brought with her in her backpack and walked to the table prepared for her.
The prison guard directed the male prisoners to come around. They wanted to watch Xiang Huan demonstrate the processing steps of these handicrafts up close this morning.
After the arrangements were made, the prison guard sat next to Xiang Huan, separated her from the male prisoners, and asked if she was ready to start.
Xiang Huan took a deep breath, adjusted his very depressed mood, and then went to work.
It was also the first time for her to do this. She was nervous and unfamiliar, so she spent the entire morning repeating the entire demonstration step, and she had not finished the demonstration by lunch time.
Occasionally, Xiang Huan would make eye contact with a certain male prisoner, and he would be immediately startled by some indescribable meaning in his eyes.
Only now did Xiang Huan understand why Brother Qin would repeatedly ask her to refuse to come in if she was afraid. It was true that close contact with these special people was not as simple as she thought.
But you have already entered and cannot go back.
For lunch, Xiang Huan went to the cafeteria with the prison guard uncle. She was the focus of the entire No. 1 Prison today, and she was stared at by everyone when she entered the cafeteria.
While waiting in line for food, the prison guard uncle did some ideological work for Xiang Huan.
"Don't worry, girl, you don't see many women here all the year round. If you come in unexpectedly, you won't be able to get a second look. I will keep an eye on you from beginning to end, don't be afraid."
Xiang Huan couldn't say that he wasn't that scared, he was just very disappointed. After hearing this, he smiled and said thank you, and planned to ask for some news during dinner.
After sitting down to eat, Xiang Huan asked around and then pretended to casually ask the prison guard whether the prisoners who were processing the foreign trade handicrafts this time would be replaced.
person.
The prison guard uncle lowered his head and was busy eating, and replied that he usually wouldn't change it, especially this time. He also watched Xiang Huan's demonstration in the morning. It was quite complicated, and he probably wouldn't be able to do it if he didn't learn from the beginning.
After Xiang Huan heard this, the little spark of hope in his heart was completely extinguished.
Work would not resume until 1:30 in the afternoon. Xiang Huan followed the prison guard uncle to the office to rest. The two drank water and chatted.
The heavy rain outside was still falling, and for a while it felt like a hole had been opened in the sky. Thunder and lightning continued, and the window glass was banged by raindrops.
Xiang Huan looked at the window glass in a daze. The prison guard felt that she was not in a high mood.
I asked how many days it would take to complete the work this time.
"About twenty days." Xiang Huan heard his boss, Brother Qin, say so.
"That's not a short time. I've been in contact with them a lot. Remember to open your mouth less than what you have to say. Although I'm keeping an eye on those people, but..." the prison guard stopped as he spoke.
Xiang Huan looked at him, wondering what the unspoken content behind it would be.
The prison guard hesitated for a moment, "What I mean is, after all, they are all serious prisoners sentenced to ten years or more. When they see you, a little girl, they may say something unpleasant, so don't give them a chance to talk to you." "
"Yes, I understand, don't worry."
On the afternoon of the second day after arriving at the prison factory, the prisoners began to enter formal processing. Xiang Huan needed to watch their production processes one by one and correct any problems in a timely manner.
So there is time for closer contact.
The prison guard followed Xiang Huan the whole time. When he was about to finish work in the afternoon, he had a stomachache and had to go to the toilet. Before leaving, he called another prison guard to come and take his place.
Two people take shifts for less than half a minute
Within a few minutes, Xiang Huan encountered the situation that the prison guard uncle said.
As soon as the prison guard walked out of the door, a short male prisoner whom Xiang Huan was instructing suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Xiang Huan, grinning and asked something.
When Xiang Huan heard what he was saying, he looked subconsciously and saw the short male prisoner's eyes staring at his chest.
He was asking Xiang Huan, "Little sister, do you have a partner? Are you college students all in love with each other?"
This sentence was spoken in a low voice, but in a quiet workplace, it was still enough for most people to hear.
Xiang Huan immediately felt several eyes looking towards him.
She felt nervous and walked towards the door of the workroom. As soon as she arrived, she saw the prison guard who had come to replace the prison guard running towards her.
"Are you okay?" the prison guard asked Xiang Huan when he stopped.
Xiang Huan broke out in sweat, shook his head and said it was okay, but did not tell what happened just now.
However, before leaving get off work this evening. Xiang Huan still told the prison guard uncle about this matter.
At work the next day, the prison guard told Xiang Huan that the short prisoner would not show up today and that a new prisoner would come to replace him.
Xiang Huan's heart jumped inexplicably, and the extinguished flame of hope began to spark again.
The prison guard also said that because the newcomer had not learned from the beginning, Xiang Huan had to be taught alone today.
Before entering the workroom, he also explained to Xiang Huan in detail, "This prisoner is different from that one. He has been doing very well since he came in. You don't have to worry about something like that happening again. I will never leave you this time." Seconds, don’t worry.”
After the routine roll call began, Xiang Huan heard a new number appear.
