The prison was quite famous in City S, called "Dabei Prison". It was originally located on the first ring road, in the fifth district of the city. Later, a large commercial residence was built in that area, and the prison was squeezed to the outskirts of the city.

Xiang Jiacheng set off early in the morning and drove for more than an hour before arriving at the place.He got out of the car and looked up at the steamy sky, with dark clouds and swallows flying low, seeing that it was going to rain.The iron-blue high walls around the prison look even colder and colder in the gloomy weather, and there are patrolling guards standing in the watchtower, fortified barriers.

Xiang Jiacheng glanced at the black barbed wire on the top of the high wall, and subconsciously looked away.He didn't like this place, and every time he came, the cold air would seep out from the cracks in his bones. For eight or nine years, he came once a month, but he was still not used to the atmosphere of the prison, and he couldn't get used to it either.

There were already a few people sitting in twos and threes in the small room waiting for the visit, all carrying things and fruits.No one spoke, and everyone was expressionless, showing a kind of numbness and helplessness that was not voluntary but had to come.

Xiang Jiacheng didn't wait long, and instructor Xu came out to greet him, and said with a smile: "Jiacheng is here. Your mother was nagging this morning, saying it's time to visit. I said you can definitely come." This year-old woman was quite surprised when Xiang Jiacheng saw her for the first time eight years ago.He thought that the prison guard must be vicious and full of flesh, and he would have to skin you even if you didn't die.But the trainers here are very nice, and they are very polite to Xiang Jiacheng and Xiang's mother, at least in front of Xiang Jiacheng.

Xiang Jiacheng didn't have to wait in line, and walked in with instructor Xu, saying politely, "It's too much trouble for you."

"Nothing, it's all work."

The two of them turned a corner, and further ahead was the visiting place.Xiang Jiacheng handed the things in his hand to instructor Xu, and said with a smile: "The clothes and fruits are brought for my mother, you can check them for me. This basket of Australian tangerines is from other places, and you can't buy them in S City." Give the trainers a taste." Along with the fruits, an envelope of money was handed over.

"How embarrassing." Teacher Xu smiled.This is a common practice, but the mouth is not polite, take the things over, "Your mother is in a good mood, and I have hope in my heart when she is about to be released from prison. Let's talk to her more. The things outside should also be prepared. Don’t let her go out and everything goes wrong, making her even more sad.” Instructor Xu has a good heart, and he talked to Xiang Jiacheng for a while, and nodded to Jiacheng: “Thank you, Instructor Xu.”

"Go." Instructor Xu sighed softly.

This is a small compartment, everything is neatly arranged, there is a simple sofa and a water dispenser, and flowers are placed on the table.If it weren't for the stainless steel railings installed on the windows, ignoring the prison guards standing in front of the door with batons, this place would be no different from an ordinary small reception room.

Xiang's mother is not an ordinary criminal, and she has always performed well in prison, which is why she is treated like this.

Xiang Jiacheng waited for a while, and Xiang Mu stepped in from another small door. He stood up quickly and called, "Mom." When Zhou came home from school, he greeted his mother the same way.

This time, Xiang's mother looked much better than before, with a smile on her face, she came over and took her son's hand, and the two sat side by side on the sofa.

Mother Xiang carefully looked Xiang Jiacheng up and down, stroked his hair, and then stroked his face: "How are you doing?"

"It's okay." Every time Xiang Jiacheng came here, he thought over and over what he wanted to say several times. You can never complain about suffering. You should choose good, interesting, and reassuring words.The business is getting smoother and smoother, the house loan is fully paid, and my friends take good care of me. The Yuan family is very good and has frequent contacts.

Xiang Jiacheng was calm and reported the life of this month in detail.He couldn't do this a few years ago, especially when his father had an accident and his mother was first imprisoned, his life was very tight, he bumped into walls everywhere, he was treated with cold eyes and ridicule, he gritted his teeth and never bowed his head. Come on.

At that time, when he came, seeing his mother's old face that was losing weight rapidly, the hot and hot air in his heart shot out at once, wishing he could throw himself into her arms and cry bitterly.But he couldn't, he endured it with all his strength, pinched his thigh to endure it, his face was always smiling, he spoke softly, calmly, just like Xiang Jiacheng in the past.

Even two years later, when his mother finally found out that Xiang's father had been executed and was no longer alive, Xiang Jiacheng still had to cooperate with the instructor, do his mother's ideological work, and go to the prison every now and then.Not for anything else, just for the mother to survive, to survive well, and not to have extreme thoughts.

At that time, Xiang Jiacheng had no other thoughts, he had already lost his father and could not lose his mother again, he only hoped that one day they could live together and be like before.

How many times, Xiang Jiacheng seemed to return to the old days, when his father came home early for dinner, the whole family sat together, the steam from the hot pot was bubbling out, making people feel hot and blurry.Father raised his glass and was smiling... Suddenly he was startled and woke up.The night was so dark that the stars and the moon could not be seen, her face was icy cold and full of tears.

Xiang Jiacheng can survive all these, isn't he able to survive?He doesn't care what others think of him, Xiang Jiacheng is Xiang Jiacheng, even if he falls from the clouds and falls into the mud, and his head is broken and his body is dirty, he still has to stand upright with his legs straightened and a smile on his face Look directly at the faces of those people who are eager to watch the excitement.

Now that everything is fine, mother Xiang continued what her son had said and talked about his recent performance in prison.Organize inmates to make newspapers together, teach them to practice calligraphy, preach some simple health knowledge, read books, read newspapers, and take notes.

Xiang Jiacheng said: "Mom, you are busy, maybe you can't spend the Dragon Boat Festival here."

"Ah." Xiangmu was reminded by him, and she calculated in her heart, "Yes, it seems to be true." A smile bloomed on her lips, and she raised her little finger to wrap her hair behind her ears, calm and elegant, Just like the noble and beautiful mother in Xiang Jiacheng's memory.

"It's time to visit." Instructor Xu walked out.

Mother Xiang froze for a moment, suppressed her smile, and glanced at her son in a panic, why is the time so short?How come so soon?Xiang Jiacheng comforted her: "It's been an hour, Mom, it's okay, I'll be back next month."

"Really? So soon..." Mother Xiang looked at her son reluctantly, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Seeing his mother walking farther and farther away, he stood up to Jiacheng and called out: "Mom—"

Instructor Xu saw that they were so attached to each other, so he smiled deliberately and said relaxedly: "Your son will come again next month, besides, you are going out soon, and there will be plenty of days to talk together in the future."

Xiang's mother smiled suddenly, and said: "Yes." Looking at his son's handsome face, he said softly: "Jiacheng, you have to be good."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." Xiang Jiacheng clenched his fists tightly to hold back the tears that almost flowed from his eyes.He kept smiling, watching his mother being led in by prison guards and disappearing behind the cold iron bars.

Yuan Yinuo was busy carrying things down from the car one by one: "Bacon, royal jelly, snacks, rice, noodles... By the way, there are also coarse sheets. Mom, didn't you say that the last time you used them was good? Jiacheng specially bought it for you, saying that you can use it interchangeably, these are three sets."

"Oh, oh, you are just wasting money." Yuan's mother was happy in her heart, but she still wanted to scold her, "It's enough to use one more set instead, so how can I use so much."

"There are also clothes made for your elder brother, which are absolutely pure cotton and of good quality." Yuan Yinuo carried a big bulging bag in one hand, and carried rice and noodles high on the other shoulder, striding towards the yard.What a man can only move several times, he can do it in one trip.

"Slow down, slow down, watch your feet." Yuan's mother followed behind, "Every time I come here, I take so many things, I can eat them all."

"Keep it and eat it slowly, and you're not afraid of spoiling it." Yuan Yinuo put the things on the ground in the yard, picked up the enamel jar, took a big jar of cold water, poured it down, and wiped his mouth, "Where's Dad?"

"Take the walnuts out to play."

Just as she was talking, the little girl's weeping sound came from outside, Yuan's mother hurried out and asked repeatedly: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Yuan's father came in holding the little walnut: "I want to catch dragonflies, if I can't catch them, I will cry."

"Oh, don't cry." Mother Yuan took the little girl, "Look who's here?"

The little girl opened her tearful eyes, opened her little hands and yelled, "Daddy hug!"

Yuan Yinuo gently hugged the little walnut, and wiped her tears with her big palm clumsily: "Don't cry, Dad will buy you a lot of delicious food. The floral dress that Dad made for you is so beautiful. "

Little Walnut stopped crying and blinked her eyes: "I don't want a floral skirt, I want a dragonfly."

"Isn't it just a dragonfly, dad will catch it for you." Yuan Yinuo greeted his parents and walked out with the child in his arms.The courtyard of the community is full of dragonflies, flying around petitely and exquisitely.A little boy, about six or seven years old, secretly poked his head out from the corner of the wall to look around Yuan's house. When he saw Little Walnut, he ran out joltingly, gesticulating the gauze net in his hand arrogantly.A blue-purple dragonfly flapped its wings in the gauze net, but couldn't fly out.

The little boy turned his head to look at Little Walnut, and Little Walnut turned his head away from looking at him, lying on his father's broad shoulders.

Yuan Yinuo asked the little boy, "Where did you come from?"

"I caught it." The little boy puffed up his chest and said proudly, "Little walnut, if you want it, hee hee, I won't give it to you."

Little Walnut flattened her mouth and was about to cry again.

Yuan Yinuo hugged her daughter's arms and wobbled twice, saying, "Dad, I'll catch you a big one." He raised his head and observed for a while.It happened that a dragonfly was flying over, and Yuan Yinuo's hand was like lightning. He clamped two fingers and was caught on the translucent and light wings of the dragonfly. He grabbed it and handed it to Little Walnut: "Here, hold it carefully."

Little Walnut cheered, stretched out her chubby little hand, and took it carefully.Yuan Yinuo stretched out her hand, caught another one, and handed it to her daughter.The little boy below was stunned, and the dragonfly in the gauze flew away without seeing it. He said sincerely for a long time, "Uncle, you are so powerful, teach me."

Yuan Yinuo ignored him, put her daughter in the place, and kissed the little face: "Go, ask grandma for gauze." Little Walnut smiled with his eyes crescent like crescents, and went home to find grandma on his short legs.

The little boy was so envious that he wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Yuan Yinuo.The little boy blinked and fawned, "Uncle, you are too good."

Yuan Yinuo didn't like this, bowed down, leaned in front of the little boy, narrowed his eyes, showing a bit of a fierce look: "Don't bully my daughter, do you hear me?!"

"Listen... I heard..." the little boy stammered and rolled his eyes again, "Then teach me how to catch dragonflies?"

"You have fun with my daughter, and I'll teach you." Yuan Yinuo crossed his arms.

"It's a deal." The little boy opened his palm and raised it high.

"It's a deal." Yuan Yinuo clapped his hands high-five with him, and the little boy cheered and chased after Little Walnut, "Walnut Walnut, I'll play with you in the sand!"
