Lu Qiao was transferred to the squadron directly under the Criminal Education Section.
This squadron is composed of criminal teachers and criminal art teams, and is affiliated to the Ninth Ward.
The Ninth Prison District is a comprehensive prison district. More than a hundred criminals are responsible for three meals a day for thousands of criminals in the prison. Compared with other production workshops, it is a non-production logistics support area.
There are only six criminals in Lu Qiao¡¯s teaching group, which is responsible for teaching basic cultural courses for all prisoners who are illiterate and have primary school and middle school education. Teaching is directly under the responsibility of the Education Department. Every Monday to Friday at 8:00 a.m., the special police officer from the Education Section will pick up the six criminal teachers from the Ninth Ward and send them back at 12:00 noon; at 2:30, they will pick up the criminals again and take them to the Education Section for work; in the afternoon At 5:30, they were sent back to the 9th Ward. What goes around comes around.
In addition to teaching, Lu Qiao's teaching team also has to do the tasks of washing dishes and wiping tables in the restaurant. Every Saturday and Sunday, as long as the education department does not work overtime, they have to help the prison area with vegetable selection, cutting, and taking out garbage. Chores.
However, "DaDa" Lu Qiao suddenly became a "teacher" and seemed to have found some confidence. Especially when cleaning tables in the restaurant, you can meet prisoners from various prison areas. Although you can't talk to each other, whenever you have the opportunity, for example, if you need a spoon or a dinner plate, you will be recognized by people you know or don't know, or your own. The students respectfully call him "teacher". In this way, Lu Qiao's probability of being recognized by others is gradually increasing, and his own sense of honor and responsibility has also been enhanced.
Lu Qiao is responsible for the mathematics and Chinese teaching of a class in the upper grade of elementary school and serves as the class teacher; he also serves as the physics and chemistry teacher of the junior high school. There are a total of 9 classes three afternoons every week, and you have to do your own lesson preparation, correcting homework, etc. When you return to the 9th Ward, you have to wipe the dining table and wash the dishes. I already had back pain after three times.
Before Lu Qiao could get used to it, the head of the education department added another dimension to Lu Qiao¡¯s reform task: responsible for giving warning education lectures.
Most people know that warning education means that some agencies and groups in society, especially units with corresponding rights, get in touch with the Prison Bureau, take their cadres and employees to prisons to listen to warning education lectures, and use criminals¡¯ personal experiences to warn People who hold power in their hands.
For Lu Qiao, giving a warning and education speech is a harsh criticism of himself. It only took a week from drafting the written speech to reviewing it by the police officer and then going on stage without it.
Lu Qiao was taken out of the prison this morning and came to the speech base in the office building.
The lecture venue is on the top floor of the prison office building. When you get to the top floor, you will see a huge stainless steel nameplate: "XX Provincial Prison Administration Women's Prison Warning Education Base." One of the large rooms is the exhibition hall. The pictures, original positions and criminal facts of job-related criminals are clearly visible. The layout is comparable to the decoration of the International Convention and Exhibition Center. Each exhibition panel has direct lights, the colors are bright or dark, and the pictures and crime introductions are well-proportioned, which is very eye-catching. The most unforgettable thing is that the pictures of the criminals include photos of their previous lives and even art photos, as well as photos of them working or reading and writing in prison uniforms. This comparison alone made those visitors feel as if a cold breeze was chilling their hearts.
The other large room is actually a medium-sized conference room with a dedicated podium for criminals to give speeches. The conference room can seat about 150 people, and it is equipped with leather sofa-back chairs and a table for two. The podium is not high, only about the height of a step. There is a banner with subtitles randomly printed on it according to the names of the units that come to the prison to receive warning education.
Lu Qiao asked other criminals who have received warning education. The duration of a warning education ranges from 12 to 13 minutes, and each time the reward is 3 points; if it is done three times a month, it is 9 points. Add in the fixed monthly teaching points of 5 points, plus 3 points for renovation, and 1 point for washing dishes and wiping the table, which adds up to exactly 18 points! Lu Qiao suppressed his excitement and devoted himself to making full preparations.
What excited Lu Qiao the most was that he only calculated 9 points for Warning Education, but it was actually more than that. That is to say, not only can you get one praise every month, but you can also transfer the remaining points to the next month to make up for the difference. The surprise didn't end there. A poem I wrote was published in the prison system's newspaper, and the reward points I received were 5 points! And he was also appointed as a special writer by the Bureau of Prisons newspaper! This accident greatly stimulated Lu Qiao's motivation to stop fighting.
Ah, knowledge! Knowledge is property rights. What are property rights? In Lu Qiao's current mind, property rights are points!
The fog suddenly cleared before Lu Qiao¡¯s eyes and the sun rose. She thought that as long as she worked hard, she could hope to leave this place and reunite with her mother and children as soon as possible.
The first units that Lu Qiao greeted to listen to the speech were officers at the battalion level and above from the Reserve Division of the People's Liberation Army.
When the subtitles came up, Lu Qiao's heart suddenly dimmed.
Parameters??There were four criminals giving this warning and education speech, two of them she knew. The so-called acquaintance is just a companion who is in the solitary room for reflection and is next to his own cell. Before, he only heard his voice but never saw his person. I only got to know him again when I joined the teaching group. That is, the "everywhere" and "inspection" introduced in the previous chapters of this article.
¡°Chu Chu¡± caused a lot of trouble because he refused to obey the discipline in the original workshop, and he became a ¡°old fritter¡± in the solitary room. Considering that she had a high level of education and was a member of the Democratic Party, she was transferred to the teaching team as a teacher. Because "Jianqian" was suspected of being homosexual with other female prisoners, she failed to educate her several times, so she had to change the environment. The prison considered that she had been an English teacher before working in the Procuratorate, so she was also transferred to the teaching team as a teacher.
Lu Qiao was arranged to be the last one to take the stage to give a speech. In other words, Lu Qiao was given a dominant role and opportunity. This is because the head of the Education Section was very satisfied with the audition speech stage, so he made this arrangement.
But Lu Qiao had no thoughts. She sat in the last row, her eyes searching the officers who were entering the conference room one after another. Finally, she spotted a familiar figure, He Moumou, who is now the commander of the reserve division.
He Moumou is one of his father's guards. Since he was a child, he has been hugged by guard He and carried all over the world on his back. But now, as a criminal, he has to give a warning speech to He Moumou and his reserve officers. No matter how good Lu Qiao was, he could only pretend to be nonchalant in front of his father's bodyguard!
¡°I once heard my mother talk about He Moumou, and I also knew that He Moumou was in the reserve division, but I didn¡¯t know that He Moumou was already the division commander.
Lu Qiao's mind was spinning, and she wanted to make a request to the head of the education section and the police officer in charge, saying that she didn't want to earn points or participate in the speech. However, this scene was so serious that Lu Qiao, a criminal, did not dare to make any request. what to do? Lu Qiao had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Since the commander of the reserve division personally took action, and the officers who came were all officers at battalion level or above, almost all the prison leaders were accompanied to listen to the warning and education speeches.
Of course Song Bin wants to accompany him. This was also the first time he listened to a criminal's warning speech in full. He walked onto the stage and gave a brief welcome speech, and then reserve division commander He Moumou came on stage and said a few words.
Only then did Lu Qiao see the front of He Moumou: his hair had turned gray and his body had gained weight. Lu Qiao prayed: I am no longer what I was when I was a girl, I hope He Moumou will not recognize me!
The army is the army. After the two leaders finished speaking, the director of the political department of the reserve division came out as the moderator and asked all officers to take notes and discuss it when they get back!
It¡¯s so formal! Lu Qiao thought again, it was the first time he came on stage and he risked his life. If He Moumou recognized him, he would recognize him. He was already like this. It should be said that he was not afraid of anyone. So she exhaled and desperately held the speech in her mind. She knew that the most important thing at the moment was not to slip up during her speech, otherwise she would lose those award points.
After the first three criminals finished their speeches, it was Lu Qiao's turn to take the stage.
Lu Qiao stood on the podium, facing the microphone. She glanced at the officers sitting at attention, and also took a clear look at the division commander He Moumou. She did not immediately enter the speech, but reverberated the sound of the microphone a little, and looked at He Moumou sitting next to Warden Song, with a little smile in her eyes. Because she had already seen the surprise in He Moumou's eyes. She averted her eyes and began her speech:
"Dear leaders and distinguished guests, hello everyone. My name is Lu Qiao. I used to be a government cadre. In the process of operating an investment promotion project, I was convicted of embezzling public funds and was sentenced to five years in prison. "
Although Lu Qiao was looking at the last row, he saw from the corner of his eye that He whispered something to Song Bin. Song Bin nodded and whispered something to He.
"Five years are just a short moment in time and space, but they have left an indelible mark on my personal experience. Facing the high wall and electric grid of the prison, I regret it. Looking back on my past, I have had many honors. I have been rated as an outstanding provincial civil servant, an outstanding female cadre and an outstanding party worker many times, but now I am a prisoner, a criminal despised by the society and the people. The reason why I have been severely punished by the law is because of my long-term ideological They have been eroded by the decadent ideas of the bourgeoisie, have deviated from the purpose of "serving the people" deep in their souls, and have not withstood the fierce bombardment of sugar-coated bullets in the wave of market economy"
Lu Qiao really didn¡¯t want to talk about it anymore, but he had to talk about it. In addition to seeing He Moumou's heartbroken eyes, she also saw a pair of scorching eyes. She realized that the scorching eyes were staring at her, and she seemed to be exposed in broad daylight, with nowhere to hide.
?Although the speech that followed was still very expressive, still full of passion for criticizing herself, and still full of sonorous examples and refutations, her speech even moved most of the officers, but Lu Qiao knew very well. Her soul has drifted away, leaving behind a shell.
After finally getting through these ten minutes, Lu Qiao finally finished her speech with tears in her eyes. Prison regulations prohibited applause for prisoners' speeches, but the officers gave them warm applause anyway.
Lu Qiao left the podium, walked to He Moumou's seat, bowed to everyone, and walked down the stage calmly.
After the host of the Political Department of the Reserve Division finished his summary, he took the officers to visit the duty crime exhibition.
The head of the education section came over and said to the four prisoners: "Lu Qiao stays, and the other three go back to the prison."
More than 100 officers walked to the exhibition hall one after another. Teacher He Moumou came to Lu Qiao's side accompanied by Song Bin.
¡°Qiao Qiao¡ª¡ª¡± The teacher looked at Lu Qiao and already shed tears.
"Hello, Uncle He!" Lu Qiao couldn't stop crying.
Song Bin said to the education section chief: "Go and contact the guest house to arrange a room. I will accompany Teacher He to have dinner at noon, and Lu Qiao will be handed over to the office police officer."
The education section chief replied: "Understood." He left the conference room and made arrangements according to Song Bin's instructions.
Lu Qiao, led by the office police officer, took the first step and waited in a room in the guest house.
When Song Bin accompanied Mr. He to leave the office building and walk towards the guest house, he saw a car parked next to him. While Song Bin was wondering, Shen Fei, who got off the car, took the initiative to hold Song Bin's hand.
"Hello! Warden Song." Shen Fei's eyes were firm and calm. He had a marriage certificate in his arms and was looking for the prison leader.
Song Bin was surprised. Although he had already been mentally prepared, and he once said in front of Mr. Zhang Junyi: "There will be someone who comes to prison with a marriage certificate." However, when Shen Fei really appeared in front of him, he was still shocked.
When Shen Fei and Mr. He looked at each other, surprise appeared on their faces at the same time. They know each other. This also stems from the fact that 20 years ago when Mr. He was still working as a guard beside Lu Qiao's father, he knew Shen Fei, who was pursuing Lu Qiao!
"Is it Uncle He?" Shen Fei held Master He tightly with both hands in surprise.
"Are you here to see Qiao Qiao?" Mr. He asked.
"Yes. I just got off the plane and came right over." Shen Fei replied. "Uncle He, what are you doing here?"
Teacher He did not answer Shen Fei's question, but said to Song Bin: "Just in time, we met, let's get together."
Song Bin nodded and made a "please" gesture to Shen Fei, but he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Song Bin was thinking: Sure enough, here he is, another fake husband!
