The next day, a deputy director came to the Provincial Transportation Department. He was the brother of the Planning Bureau Chief, Lin Xiaoan. Du Bin had originally promised Lin Ming, who was in charge of transportation, that he would accompany the deputy director for lunch at noon. However, because he was in a bad mood, he had no interest in drinking. He called Jiang Zhencai in and said,"At noon, you will accompany the leader of the Provincial Transportation Department on behalf of me. I promised Lin Ming yesterday, and now I am in a hurry to go to Tailing City. Oh, go find his younger brother, Lin Xiaoan, and bring him to the address we have chosen in the Wood City in the afternoon. Ask him to help solve some funds and build the road to the Wood City.”
Du Bin went to Tailing City Prison. This was his second time visiting his middle school math teacher, the former Changhai City Deputy Chief, Yu Siqing.
The first time he came to visit Yu Siqing was half a month after he was imprisoned.
Yu Siqing was shocked that Du Bin could come to visit her in prison. He never dreamed that Du Bin, whom he usually attacked and framed, would be the first city leader to visit him in Changhai City. According to Yu Siqing's logic, Du Bin did not come to visit him with good intentions. He came to laugh at her and humiliate her. So, Yu Siqing threw the things that Du Bin sent in front of him and scolded him out of the meeting room.
When her daughter, Yu Min, came to visit, she heard about this and lost her temper at her father. She said,"You're really old and muddle-headed. In the past, you couldn't differentiate between good and bad people. Now that you're in prison, you still can't differentiate between good and bad people.”
"How do I deserve it?" Yu Siqing glared at her daughter and asked.
" I think you just can't differentiate between good and bad." Yu Min was probably confused by her father's anger, so she spoke without any seriousness. She said," What is Du Bin now?" He was the chief of the city, the chief of Changhai City, which had a population of more than one million. He drove hundreds of kilometers just to visit you. Was he an idiot? Are you so free that you have nothing to do?" The more Yu Min spoke, the more agitated she became. She felt that her father was really old and muddle-headed. She said," You said that he came to make a fool of you and humiliate you. Why do you think so? How dirty! You're really a dog biting Lu Dongbin. You don't know the heart of a good person!”
After being scolded by her daughter, Yu Siqing also felt that what she said made sense, so she did not get angry. Instead, she opened her confused old eyes and looked at her daughter's face that was red from excitement.
"Do you know that ever since you went to prison, my mother's old illness has acted up? As the mayor of a city, Du Bin is a very busy person. He even visits my mother every two or three days to chat with her and have a heart-to-heart talk with her. He's even more filial than her son!”Yu Min's eyes reddened when she got to the emotional part. She thought of her younger brother in Shanghai. He couldn't even remember to call her mother once a year. He was simply an ingrate. How could he compare to Du Bin? "You even maligned him, threw away the things he brought you, and scolded him away. How capable are you?”
Hearing Yu Min's words, Yu Siqing realized that she had wronged Du Bin. After his daughter left, Yu Siqing thought about it for many nights. He felt that Yu Min was right. He had wronged Du Bin! Sigh, he had been in prison for more than half a year, but not a single city leader had come to visit him. They were all afraid of being stained with blood! Therefore, he looked forward to Du Bin visiting him again every day. He simply regarded this expectation as the spiritual sustenance of his prison life. He had been thinking about it day and night until he could not sleep. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He felt that Du Bin would not come to visit him again. He had scolded him, thrown away his things, and embarrassed him in public. Who would lick his face and ask for a snub again? Moreover, the person he humiliated in public was not an ordinary commoner, but the county magistrate who was in charge of more than a million people!
Yu Siqing was in complete despair. He knew that Du Bin would never visit him in prison again. He was in so much pain that he couldn't eat or drink, and couldn't sleep at night. His pain stemmed from the fact that he had wronged Du Bin, but he would never have the chance to apologize to him in person again. This kind of pain was much more unbearable than the physical pain!
However, Du Bin actually came by himself? He couldn't believe it. He thought he was dreaming.
Du Bin placed the things he had brought on the table. Seeing that Yu Siqing had obviously lost a lot of weight, he asked with concern,"Teacher Yu, are you feeling unwell? How did you lose so much weight?"
Yu Siqing looked ashamed. She looked at Du Bin and her eyes turned red. She choked and said,"Du Bin, don't call me teacher, I'm not worthy!”
" Don't think too much, Teacher Yu." Du Bin did not know why he was so excited, so he comforted him." A teacher for a day is a father for life." No matter what you do, you will always be my teacher. This is a fact that can never be changed.”
Yu Siqing was speechless. Tears flowed down silently. He wiped his tears, and his nose twitched a few times. His lips trembled, but he could not speak.
Du Bin saw how excited he was and felt his heart heat up. He handed him a tissue and said," Don't think too much. You're not in good health. Don't get too excited. It's more important to take care of yourself…"
Yu Siqing suddenly grabbed Du Bin's hand, snot and tears streaming down her face as she cried,""Du Bin, I'm sorry! I know that it's meaningless for Teacher to say this now. It's too late to say anything. Teacher is muddle-headed. Teacher is a bastard. Why am I greedy for so much money? To eat or to drink? Teacher is regretting it, Du Bin. I'm regretting it so much that my intestines are turning green. Tell me, why didn't I listen to your advice back then? Why didn't I listen? Sigh, I even bit Lu Dongbin like a dog. I, I even pushed you aside and framed you. I, I couldn't differentiate between good and bad. I, I've been a teacher for so many years in vain…However, I beg you to take into account the fact that your master's wife served you in the past and visit her more often. I'll be satisfied. Your master's wife's rheumatism is very serious, and it will attack every autumn, winter, and spring, tormenting her for most of her life. Sigh, it's all because of the illness she got when she was squatting in the cowshed with me…"
"You don't have to worry about Master's wife. I often go to see her. Her rheumatism didn't attack last winter and this spring. Yu Min took good care of her.”Du Bin patted his hand lightly.
Coming out of Tai Ling Prison, Du Bin looked back at the big black iron gate of the prison and let out a long breath. Suddenly, he felt much more relaxed. The invisible mountain-like feeling that had been pressing on his body for the past few days suddenly collapsed.
"Where are we eating?" Wang Chao walked over and asked.
"To the provincial capital." Du Bin twisted his neck and said," There's a gas station restaurant outside of Tailing City that's pretty good. They serve stewed frog. I haven't had it for a long time and I'm craving it."”
At 4:30 p. m., Wang Chao's car drove into Provincial City. Du Bin called Yafen and told her that he was back. Yafen was very happy. She said that she would go home now and cook delicious food for you. Du Bin said," There's no need to be busy. I have something urgent. I'll go to the Jinyu Hotel to find Li Jinbiao. I won't be home for dinner."”The fire in Yafen's heart suddenly burned, and as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, she put down the phone resentfully.
"What's the matter, my sh * t lord? You've come to our rundown place. Don't you mind polluting your feet?”Li Jinbiao was still angry. When he saw Du Bin come in by himself, he did not even give him a seat and mocked him in a sarcastic manner.
" Don't show off in front of me." Du Bin sat down on the sofa and picked up the mineral water bottle on the coffee table. He opened it and took a few sips before saying," Hurry up and arrange something delicious for me. I'm starving."”
"What should I do to you? Tsk!" Li Jinbiao said this, but he picked up the phone and called the food and beverage department, asking them to arrange a table of hard food and wine.
Du Bin and Li Jinbiao were both drunk. At the wine table, the two of them were still insisting on their own reasons. The two drunkards with big tongues could not convince each other. Wang Chao found it funny, but he did not dare to make a sound. He only lowered his head and stuffed his mouth with delicacies.
"Li Jinbiao, are you still a good brother?”Du Bin pressed his hands together to cover the wine glass and asked with his eyes wide open.
"Who's your buddy? Tsk!" Li Jinbiao's alcohol tolerance was not as high as Du Bin's. His disobedient right hand drew in the air and knocked over the wine glass. The wine spilled along the table onto his pants. Wang Chao hurried over and wiped his pants with a tissue.
" Don't worry about him, don't worry about him." Du Bin tugged at Wang Chao and said," If he's not a good brother, then don't worry about him." Let the wine drown him!" Wang Chao was still wiping Li Jinbiao's pants when Du Bin became angry and shouted at him,""I told you to ignore him, didn't you hear me? Who do you listen to? Come back!"
