Xu Er took Xu San and Cai Hua to Jiangnan to find Li Si, expressing his willingness to associate and cooperate with Li Si in the grain business. Li Si's elder brother was the director of the largest state-owned granary in Jiangnan. Not only could he increase his strength, but he could also obtain tangible benefits. Li Si was naturally more than happy to do so. The two sides made peace with each other. They reached an agreement on the spot. The two strongest gangs in Jiang City soon formed a loose cooperation model.
The unexpected imprisonment completely shattered Zhao Jun's dream of going to college. Not to mention the rumors that filled the sky, just the strange gazes of others were enough to crush the immature mind of a youth. Ever since he was imprisoned, Yan Hua had not written a single letter to him. Zhao Jun became more and more silent, unwilling to communicate with others. She always liked to sit by herself and think. His gaze became colder and colder. He had completely lost the childishness and playfulness that a youth should have.
A year later, with her father's help, Yan Hua was admitted to the police academy. After Zhao Jun learned of this news from his sister's letter, he smiled bitterly and felt even more sad.
It was already very late at night. Yan Hua sat alone in front of her small desk. The police academy's admission notice was placed in front of her. Yan Hua held a pen in her hand and looked at the draft paper in front of her. There were two lines of elegant small words written on the draft paper:
Little brother:
How are you? I got into the police academy and will be going to school in a few days…
Yan Hua lowered her head and carefully looked at the draft paper in front of her. She tore it off with all her might and crumpled it into a ball before throwing it on the ground. Then, she wrote again. After she was done, she tore it up. She repeated it a few times. Tears slowly rolled down from her long eyelashes. Yan Hua wiped her eyes hard and leaned on the small table, sobbing softly.
The mother probably heard her daughter's cries as she pushed open the door and walked in. She looked down at the unfinished letter on the small table and then looked at her crying daughter. She sat down next to her daughter and gently stroked her daughter's short black hair."Old lady, I know that you and Xiao Jun grew up together and have always been close. Mom also knows that you like Xiaojun, but liking and getting married are two different things. If nothing had happened to Xiaojun, Mom and Dad would have no objections even if you were to get engaged to Xiaojun now. But it's different now, do you know? Think about it, once you graduate, you'll be a police officer. Can a police officer marry someone who's been in prison? Not to mention whether your future unit will agree or not, can you stand the comments of outsiders? Good child, listen to your mother. Don't think about this anymore and go to school!”" Mom…" Yan Hua hugged her mother and cried.
Yan Ling, who was lying on the small brick bed, sat up and said angrily,"What are you crying for? What's there to cry about? Not to mention that you're not engaged yet, even if you're engaged, it'll still be over! Could a person who had been sentenced find a job in the future? Even if he found a job, what good job could he have? Let me tell you, Yan Hua, people have to face reality. Liking can be eaten! What's there to cry about!”Yan Hua wiped away her tears and replied loudly,"You don't have to worry about my matters!" "I can't be bothered with you!" Yan Ling angrily lay down on the brick bed again. She turned around and stopped looking at Yan Hua. Her mother held Yan Hua in her arms and gently wiped her tears."Old lady, listen to your mother. Don't think about Xiao Jun. Go to school properly, do you hear me?”Yan Hua leaned against her mother and did not say anything. She only nodded gently.
Zhao Fan stood outside the juvenile detention center's gate and stared at the black gate. The small door opened and Zhao Jun walked out. Behind him was a disciplinary officer who sent him off. The sky was gloomy, and large black clouds squeezed each other and piled up in the sky. Zhao Fan looked at his little brother carefully and realized that his little brother had changed a lot. He was taller and stronger than before. There was already a line of furry mustache on his lips. However, there was no longer any mischievousness in his eyes. What replaced it was an unfamiliar coldness. Zhao Fan's nose felt sour, and tears flowed down his face. He quickly walked over and waved at his brother."Little brother!" Zhao Jun waved at his sister and smiled faintly. "Captain Wang, I'm leaving!" he said to the warden who sent him off.”Officer Wang patted Zhao Jun's shoulder and said loudly,""Let's go. Your sister is waiting for you.”" I know. Thank you, Captain Wang." Zhao Jun agreed and walked to his sister. Zhao Fan looked at his younger brother, who was half a head taller than him, and tears flowed down again. He grabbed his younger brother's hand." Little brother…" Zhao Jun held his sister's hand and shook it gently."Sister, don't cry. I'm already out, why are you crying?”Zhao Fan rubbed his eyes and pulled his brother's hand.""It's good that you're out. Hurry up and go home. Dad, Mom, and Big Brother are waiting for you at home!”
His father, mother, elder sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and his older brother, Zhao Lin, who had graduated from university and became a teacher, sat around a large round table for a reunion dinner. Celebrating Zhao Jun's release from prison. Her mother's hair had turned white and she had lost a lot of weight. He looked a little old. Looking at his mother's expression, Zhao Jun felt a lump in his throat, and tears almost flowed down his face.
Early in the morning, Zhao Jun had just walked out of the house when he saw Yan Hua standing by the roadside with her head lowered. It had been two years since they last met, and Yan Hua had become a lot more voluptuous. She already had the charm of a mature girl. Suddenly seeing Yan Hua, Zhao Jun felt like he was in a dilemma. He stood there blankly, not knowing what to do. Yan Hua lowered her head and took a few steps forward. When she came in front of Zhao Jun, she bit her lips hard and said softly,"Little brother, are you alright?" Zhao Jun nodded blankly. Yan Hua looked around and quickly glanced at Zhao Jun." Little brother, I'll wait for you in the forest tonight. I have something to tell you." Before Zhao Jun could reply, he turned around and left in a hurry. Zhao Jun looked at Yan Hua's back and stood there for a long time without moving.
The night was very quiet, and the sky was gloomy. The dark clouds were like a huge black pot on the ground. The air seemed to have solidified, and it was so heavy that it made people feel suffocated.
Yan Hua and Zhao Jun had been standing face to face for a long time. Neither of them spoke. The intimacy of the past had long disappeared. What replaced it was an indescribable sense of strangeness and awkwardness. Zhao Jun closed his eyes and rubbed his hands hard. He forced a smile and said loudly,""Yan Hua, you don't have to say anything. I understand your current thoughts. I've let you down in the past! We're different now. How can a police officer marry someone who's been in prison? The past is in the past. No matter what, as long as you're well, I'm relieved! Don't worry, I won't look for you again. I'm leaving!”After saying that, Zhao Jun turned around and left. Yan Hua's sobbing voice came from behind," Little brother…" Zhao Jun did not turn around. He did not know when, but tears had already blurred his eyes.
Zhao Jun lay on the brick bed and stared at the roof in a daze. His father and mother sat at the side, looking at their son speechlessly. Zhao Jun's former form teacher, Teacher Zhang, pushed open the door and walked in. Zhao Jun quickly sat up and jumped onto the ground. He greeted Teacher Zhang,"Teacher Zhang, why are you here?" Zhang laoshi gently stroked his already white hair and grabbed Zhao Jun's hands. He pulled him in front of him and carefully sized up his beloved disciple."I haven't grown up in two years. I'm like a man now!”Zhao Jun smiled from the bottom of his heart. His father hurriedly stood up and greeted Teacher Zhang."Come, come, Teacher Zhang, quickly take a seat!" His mother brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Teacher Zhang.
Zhang laoshi carefully sized up his beloved disciple before turning to Zhao Jun's father and saying,""Brother Zhao, I've already informed the school that Zhao Jun will go back to school as soon as the next semester starts. You're still in Year One and in my class." "That's great! Thank you, Teacher Zhang!”Her mother was so happy that her eyes were wet. Teacher Zhang laughed proudly and said loudly,"What are you thanking me for? Zhao Jun is my student. I've always liked this child. He was still promising. I believe that this kid will definitely be able to get into a good university!”Zhao Jun silently looked at Teacher Zhang's loving face. He lowered his head and said softly,"Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry. I don't want to go back to school!”When Teacher Zhang heard Zhao Jun's words, he stood up.""Zhao Jun, what are you talking about? Why don't you go back to school? What are you doing if you don't go to school?”Zhao Jun lowered his head and said softly," Teacher Zhang, I really don't have the face to go back to school anymore. I don't want to see others look at me like that." "What's there to be ashamed of? So what if we've been sentenced? As long as we continue to go to school well, we'll still be good children and have future prospects!”Teacher Zhang was a little excited, and his face turned red. His voice was also much louder. Zhao Jun lowered his head and did not speak. His mother walked up to Zhao Jun and gently stroked her forehead.""Old son, listen to me. Go back to school, okay?”Zhao Jun bowed respectfully to Teacher Zhang."Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to go back to school. Thank you, Teacher Zhang!”With that, he turned around and walked out of the house.
His father slammed the table hard, his face turning green with anger."This child is getting more and more outrageous!”Teacher Zhang looked at Zhao Jun's back in disappointment and shook his head helplessly.""Nothing is more sorrowful than a dead heart. This child's heart is hurt. This child is ruined! Brother Zhao, you and sister-in-law have time to persuade him. I'll leave first!”After saying that, he left Zhao Jun's house with a disappointed expression.
His parents, brothers, sisters, and all his relatives and friends took turns to persuade Zhao Jun to go back to school, but they were all flatly rejected by Zhao Jun. She refused to go back to school no matter what. The family was all racking their brains over this matter. Zhao Jun became even more silent. He didn't like to talk and rarely went out. Most of the time, she was lying alone at home, staring at the roof in a daze.
After hearing the news that Zhao Jun refused to go back to school, Yan Hua took advantage of the night to walk to Zhao Jun's house several times and stopped in front of it. After a few moments of hesitation, he still did not enter.
