Before Song Bin led a group of people into the sixth workshop, he heard a high-pitched voice shouting excitedly:
"Yes, we are people who have violated the law of the country, people who are serving sentences and being rehabilitated, and criminals of the country, but it does not mean that we have no conscience. So many people who have been severely damaged in their hearts and homes are waiting for our help. Hand. Do you dare to worry about the country despite your humble position?"
It¡¯s Lu Qiao. Song Bin smiled secretly again.
"I ask everyone, do you dare?" Lu Qiao repeated again, and the entire workshop burst into applause. It was the spontaneous applause of the female prisoners.
"For the people in the Wenchuan disaster area and for the people who died because of the disaster, I propose that everyone observe three minutes of silence."
There was silence in the workshop. Song Bin quietly whispered a few words to the instructor in the sixth workshop. Immediately, all the digital cameras in the sixth workshop came into use. The electronic lights flashed and recorded this touching scene.
The police officers gathered around the group of criminals who spontaneously observed a moment of silence. There was no sound at all, and there was no usual harsh reprimanding of criminals for violating prison regulations. They feel the same as the criminals, and they also send their condolences to the people who suffered in the Wenchuan disaster area.
Song Bin stood at the door of the workshop and could clearly see all Lu Qiao's movements. The possibility of group fights among prisoners has been lifted, replaced by a sense of urgency about the current national crisis. It is not the prison police who lead the criminals to unified thinking, but the criminal Lu Qiao.
After the moment of silence, Lu Qiao said: "I don't want to repeat the prison mistakes I made here. I just want to remind everyone to understand a truth: when my nation is in danger, when my compatriots are suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones, When the time comes, I must do my best to lend a helping hand and do my best for myself and my fellow criminals."
The scene that seemed to have reached unified thought was torn apart by a voice:
"You can do your best, but what about us? We have no husbands, no relatives, and no family help. All our income is converted into bonus points for commutation of sentences. Our monthly living expenses are only enough to buy sanitary napkins. We buy daily necessities and don¡¯t have any extra money to support the disaster area. What do you think we should do? Can you help us pay for it all by yourself?"
Another voice also came out: "Yes, let me ask you, where does your money come from? Did you earn it yourself?"
It was noisy.
This is the prison, and these are the prisoners. It can be said that this prison is a society, and it is more social than society. Everyone's thoughts are true, and they can say whatever they think of.
Lu Qiao¡¯s passion and impassioned speeches only poured a little dew into the withered hearts of these people, and real problems emerged again. Lu Qiao said sadly: "As long as the police officer allows me, all the money in my account can be donated!"
Song Bin still breathed a sigh of relief. He was pleased with his judgment. Whether this group of prisoners can donate money to the disaster area is the main conflict. However, based on my own analysis, I estimate that superiors may not necessarily agree with criminals donating to disaster areas, because they are people who have been deprived of their freedom, who have not created wealth for society, and who do not receive rewards from society. Since this is the case, they should not be included in the donation list.
When Song Bin was still thinking, he heard Lu Qiao become energetic again:
"Fellow criminals, I think the question someone just mentioned should be a realistic question. What I just want to add is: as long as those who have not been deprived of political rights in the criminal verdict can donate to the disaster area, On this basis, people with certain financial conditions can donate to the disaster area!"
Lu Qiao's cleverness lies in the fact that she identified the basic point of "political rights", and on this basis she excluded criminals who were deprived of political rights, and the voice of opposition was relatively weakened. In addition, on the basis of "political rights" It is clear that there are certain "economic conditions" and some people without economic conditions are excluded. In this way, Lu Qiao's supporters are all "pure".
Several deputy wardens exchanged glances with Song Bin. It seemed that no further discussion was needed. The prison team members had reached a consensus.
Standing at the door of the workshop, Song Bin gave the following instructions: first, whether to donate or not shall be subject to the notice issued by the Prison Bureau; second, all criminals who performed outstandingly during the Wenchuan earthquake or did not seriously violate prison rules and disciplines shall Each person received a written commendation, which was included in the prisoner's reward and punishment record; third, Lu Qiao and all the prisoners who agreed to initiate the discussion were mobilized to take the lead in resuming production in the workshop; fourth, Lu Qiao was transferred to the squadron directly under the Education Department as a cultural teacher.
Because of his "unconventional approach", Lu Qiao got himself a job as a cultural teacher in the squadron directly under the Education Department. No one can say exactly what the turning point will be during this transformation period, even Song Bin is uncertain. However?Song Bin was quite happy, because this motion was proposed by the Educational Reform Department, and he implemented the motion without showing off. Another reason is that since Lu Qiao has joined the squadron directly under the Education Department, he has more opportunities to meet Lu Qiao.
The next day, the notice from the Bureau of Prisons was issued. The content of the notice is basically consistent with Song Bin's idea: all prisoners serving their sentences will not donate to the disaster area. Criminals can express their stance on the Wenchuan earthquake disaster and their determination to reform through methods such as submissions and study discussions.
Two days later, the internal newspaper run by the Bureau of Prisons published a poem by Lu Qiao, a prisoner in the women's prison, in memory of the compatriots who died in the Wenchuan disaster. The poem was titled "Hope in the Wind."
Xie Yaqi called and said to Song Bin: "Lu Qiao is very good. You can use her boldly and fully tap her potential. For example, you can let her be a teacher. Your prison has prison reform teacher positions."
Song Bin, who had already transferred Lu Qiao to a teaching position, said to Xie Yaqi on the phone: "Director Xie, don't worry, I will follow your instructions and transfer Lu Qiao to a teaching position as soon as possible."
It is said that after Zhang Junyi held a symposium with the municipal government, he made a phone call to the headquarters in Canada to express the seriousness of the current earthquake disaster in China. He received full support from the headquarters board of directors to promptly mobilize a field hospital to the disaster area. Invest in the rescue and treatment of people in disaster areas. At the same time, in the name of the Canadian Headquarters Board of Directors, a donation of xxx million US dollars was donated for the reconstruction of the disaster area.
According to the deployment of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, Shen Fei's group company mobilized some technical personnel to rush to the disaster area to conduct dilapidated house appraisals; at the same time, it donated xxxx million yuan in the name of the group company as relief funds for the victims.
Amidst the very busy affairs, Shen Fei's mind became brighter and brighter the more he used it. A flash formed in his mind, perhaps triggered by watching CCTV reporting on village-level organizations in the disaster area rescuing people at the scene.
On this day, he took a break from his busy schedule and went back to his parents' house. It happened that Su Suli went to work and Xiaolu went to school. He asked his parents:
"Auntie, do we have any relatives in our hometown?"
Mother replied: "Of course. The Shen family is a big family, and there are many relatives in Ningbo, both young and old."
"Do you have any relatives who are cadres in rural village committees?" Shen Fei asked his parents tentatively.
The old father said: "Nongmu's brother is uncle Nong's sister-in-law, and the daughter's husband is a village cadre. I don't know if he has stepped down now."
"Those who step down do not count. Is there anyone on the stage now?" Shen Fei became anxious when he heard "step down" and asked quickly.
"What do you want to do?" the old mother asked doubtfully.
Shen Fei thought that he must make it clear to his parents. Only by making it clear can he achieve his goal. So Shen Fei said, "Mom, I want to issue a marriage certificate to Lu Qiao in my hometown, so that I can meet Lu Qiao alone in prison."
¡°Old parents must also hope that their sons can see Lu Qiao. So he immediately said: "Ala and Nong Mu's mother will go to their hometown and look through all the relatives in their hometown. We will definitely find a few who are village cadres."
As soon as they left, the old couple packed their things and hurriedly got into Shen Fei's car.
With great hope, Shen Fei drove his old parents to the long-distance station. On the way, Shen Fei said, "Only the three of us know about this matter. We can't say a word about the big one and the small one." The "big one and the small one" mentioned by Shen Fei refers to Su Suli and Zheng Xiaolu. Especially this "eating in and out" Lu Lu, but it gave Shen Fei a lot of knowledge: "You also have to find a reason to hide it from them after you come back, do you understand?"
The old lady nodded desperately, her whole body tense and eager to try like clockwork.
The old father also said: "I know, I know. No need to explain, Ala also wants to issue a certificate to prove that Lu Qiao is Ala's daughter-in-law. It's better to go to the prison to see her."
"Oh, by the way," Shen Fei remembered something important and quickly parked the car on the side of the road: "Mom, Mom, do you know how to write the word Lu Qiao?"
"I know, Shuangkou Lu, the bridge of the bridge." The father rushed to say.
"Don't listen to me. You are a double-mouthed man, Qiao Qiao's Qiao." My mother scolded her old father and quickly corrected her.
Neither of the two old men got it right. Shen Fei wanted to laugh, so he said, "This way, I will write it on paper and also write down the content of the certificate. If you find the village cadre who is a relative, ask him to follow what I wrote. Just copy it once." After saying that, he quickly said: "It must be stamped, it is useless without a stamp."
The old parents were even more anxious than Shen Fei: "I know, please write it down quickly."
Fortunately, the bus to the countryside of Ningbo leaves every hour. Soon, the old couple got on the bus, and Shen Fei kept looking at it.The old parents sat in the car and drove away, then returned to the group company in high spirits.
The next afternoon, Shen Fei received a call from his old father and said: Everything goes well, come and get the certificate quickly!
Shen Fei looked at his watch and saw that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Knowing that Su Suli and Zheng Xiaolu must be at home, he said, "Dad, please make up any excuse and take Mom out. I'm on the roadside." I'll pick you up and go out to eat."
Shen Fei finally saw the proof that his parents brought him. People were coming and going in the hotel, and Shen Fei was very cautious. He took the certificate and ran into the bathroom of the hotel. He sat on the toilet and read the certificate more than ten times.
Then Shen Fei walked out of the bathroom and ordered a plate of Western food for each of his parents. He also taught on the spot how to use knives and forks. After finally seeing the old parents frowning and finishing the half-ripe steak with traces of blood on it, they happily sent their parents back to the roadside where they lived. After getting out of the car, Shen Fei told him to keep it a secret, which made the old couple even hook up with Shen Fei before it was over.
