When we walked out of the prison, the dark clouds in the sky were like crabs crowded in a cage. There seemed to be more people than when Dong Qiangqiang entered the prison. It looked like a heavy rain would pour down as he spoke.
Dong Qiangqiang walked to his car while recalling what Lu Wei had just said.
Although Dong Qiangqiang had already seen clues from the book list Lu Wei asked him to buy, he was still a little surprised to hear Lu Wei say it himself. He raised his eyebrows: "The question is, does anyone here know how to learn Chinese? Didn't you think about it? Have you tried other aspects? For example, cooking Chinese food is more meaningful than teaching Chinese, right? They are all cultural exports."
"Of course I want to," Lu Wei said with a wry smile, "but there are very few jobs that can be applied for in the women's prison. Even manual jobs like cleaning, kitchen, laundry, nursing, and garden cleaning are all overcrowded, not to mention relatively easy. Some jobs were available. Because there were too many people applying, volunteer applicants for all jobs had to wait a long time, and the daily working hours of those who got jobs were also reduced. I was worried at first that no one would learn Chinese, but The warden was very interested. She said that no one has ever taught Chinese here. Besides Chinese, I can also teach English and economics. Many women here do not have a high level of education, so the courses I provide are still somewhat technical. of."
Hearing what she said, Dong Qiangqiang immediately thought of the banker who worked hard to impart knowledge to the inmates after being imprisoned. In any case, it is always a good thing for Lu Wei to be busy with something, so as not to worry more about it when he is empty. .
"In that case, keep working hard and strive for an early reduction of sentence." Dong Qiangqiang encouraged, "By the way, Lu Shan has already entered university. The school is not bad. Your father accompanied him to register, and your mother should also know about it."
As soon as Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, Lu Wei suddenly stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you. Thank you."
"It's an exaggeration," Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly stood up and replied, "We are all friends, and it's not easy to be away from home. Besides, you helped me a lot when I first came here. It's just a little effort for me."
"I would like to express my gratitude to you not only on behalf of myself, but also to my brother. Our whole family would like to thank you." Lu Wei said slowly, face down, "I don't know how to express my current feelings to you, but it is indeed you. and that book gave me the courage to live, especially in the days when I first came here, I even thought about committing suicide, but in the end I gave up because of timidity and cowardice. Although I cannot thank you enough for a big favor, and I am now We are still in jail, but we have met in the mountains and rivers, and I will definitely repay you when I get out."
Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly asked Lu Wei to sit down. At the same time, he was glad that he had not told her that he had sent money to her family on her behalf. If Lu Wei had known about it, it would have been possible for Lu Wei to kneel down and kowtow to him just now.
The two chatted casually for a while, and the time for the visit came. Dong Qiangqiang did not expect that time would pass so quickly, so he said a few more words before leaving.
When Lu Wei walked out of the door of the visiting room, Dong Qiangqiang felt a flash of silver light in front of his eyes, and a small silver cross flashed in front of him. He seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of Lu Wei's words just now.
In the past, encountering such gloomy days always made Dong Qiangqiang inexplicably irritable, but Lu Wei's three consecutive joys seemed to have infected him. He stepped on the accelerator happily, and the pickup truck roared towards the train station.
Dong Qiangqiang's guess was indeed correct. As soon as the car drove halfway, heavy rain came down.
As soon as the wipers cleared away a bunch of rainwater, an even denser one hit me again. When he turned on the wipers to the maximum, the front window was like a water curtain hole, and he couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
Dong Qiangqiang was not familiar with the road conditions and had never driven in such a heavy rainstorm before. He did not dare to take risks, so he simply parked the car in a safe place on the side of the road and waited for the rain to subside before getting back on the road.
After the clouds cleared and the rain subsided, a rainbow hung down from the clouds. The air in the forest was very fresh. Dong Qiangqiang was in a better mood. He drove happily and arrived outside the train station not long after.
When Jin Yuan called him that day, he was brief and said he would meet outside the train station at 12 o'clock, but he did not tell Dong Qiangqiang exactly where.
Dong Qiangqiang went to a Turkish barbecue restaurant and bought a barbecue set meal. He chose a seat by the window and sat down, paying attention to Jin Yuan's figure while eating.
Jin Yuan would be late every time he met Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang was already familiar with this pattern. He expected that Jin Yuan must have arrived early and was hiding somewhere like him to observe the situation on the street.
The time gradually came to 12:20, Dong Qiangqiang had a plate of barbecue, and he felt much calmer. He stared at the mobile phone on the table quietly, waiting patiently for Jin Yuan's call.
Sure enough, Jin Yuan's call came as promised.
"Didn't you say we'd meet at 12 o'clock? Where are you?" Jin Yuan asked in a haughty tone on the phone.
"I arrived early, but I didn't see you." Dong Qiangqiang stared at every passerby outside the window, "Where are you?"
"You tell me your location and I'll come find you." Jin Yuan sounded a little angry.
"I'm in the Turkish BBQ restaurant southeast of the statue." Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand why Jin Yuan was so sneaky every time he met him, as if he was hiding from others.
Jin Yuan hung up the phone with a bang. In less than five minutes, he saw a dark figure rushing into the barbecue restaurant.
His baseball cap was very worn, and the cloth at the edge of the hat brim was torn and puckered, exposing the plastic plate inside the cloth. The sunglasses under the baseball cap have also been scratched, and the cunning eyes behind it can even be seen through the lenses.
He walked to Dong Qiangqiang's desk in two steps, sat down opposite Dong Qiangqiang, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the box?"
It was Jin Yuan who spoke.
Dong Qiangqiang looked at Jin Yuan carefully. He hadn't seen him for several months. He had become so thin that he had completely lost his appearance. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that he might weigh less than 100 pounds. His hair was long and stuck together, and he didn't seem to have a beard. Scratched, it grows wantonly. The clothes on his body exuded a musty smell mixed with a sour odor, making him look like a homeless man on the street who hadn't changed clothes or taken a shower in a long time.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't say anything, but pushed the box beside his legs to Jin Yuan's feet: "Everything is in there."
Jin Yuan couldn't wait to pick up the box and open it. After flipping through it twice, he suddenly frowned and shouted, "Where's the money?"
"In the bank." Dong Qiangqiang said calmly, "Because just after you gave me the box, someone went to my house to rummage through the boxes to find something."
Jin Yuan didn't say anything, silently took off his sunglasses and put them on the table, staring eagerly into Dong Qiangqiang's eyes, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was telling the truth.
