Early the next morning, at dawn, Yan Bugui and the third aunt came to the police station with a letter of understanding.
Uncle Mengang told the two of them that the comrades at the police station did not have to go to work until eight o'clock.
The two of them could only squat at the door for two hours.
In the early morning, a small policeman came to the police station on his bicycle.
Before entering the gate, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.
"Little police officer, have you eaten?"
"Oh, it's the third uncle. I've eaten. Is there anything wrong with you so early?" The policeman looked at the third uncle and the third aunt in surprise.
Standing at the door so early was definitely not just to say hello to him.
"The thing is like this, Li Donglai has issued a letter of understanding. Do you think you can free my family?"
"A letter of understanding?" The police officer was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "We have found out that the main culprit in this matter is the deputy factory director. Yan Jiecheng was deceived. If there is really a letter of understanding, I hope he will plead guilty."
If you are sincere, we can give you a lighter punishment, but the specific punishment measures need to be decided by the institute."
"We still need to be punished." Yan Bugui couldn't help but swallow his saliva. In addition to squatting on the fence, the most common punishment in this era was fines.
He spent half the night transporting the truck of pig manure to Zuojiazhuang yesterday and earned 50 cents. Did he have to spend the 50 cents today?
Seeing Yan Bugui's hesitation, the third aunt quickly stretched out her elbow to slap him: "Old man, this is related to the rest of our Yan Jiecheng's life. You must not worry about money."
"You don't feel bad, can I be the kind of person who doesn't know what my priorities are?" Yan Bugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his expression became firm: "Little police officer, I'll help you."
"It doesn't matter, Yuyu and I are getting married soon. You are the uncle of the courtyard and Yuyu's elder, which means you are my elder."
The police officer smiled politely and pushed his bicycle into the police station.
He put Yan Bugui and Third Aunt into the rest room, and said with a smile: "You two wait here for a while, and I'll go ask the director for instructions."
There weren't many things going on inside the institute today, and the policeman came back soon.
He looked at Yan Bugui who looked anxious and said with a smile: "Third uncle, after a meeting in the institute to study and decide, since Yan Jiecheng has obtained Comrade Li Donglai's understanding and was able to proactively explain the problem during the interrogation, we have arrested the deputy factory
The director has made important contributions, and now the institute has decided to fine Yan Jiecheng 20 yuan. As long as you pay the fine, you can take Yan Jiecheng back."
"Twenty dollars?"
Yan Bugui felt a roar in his mind, his vision went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fainted on the ground.
He worked hard for most of the night and only earned 50 cents. Now he was fined 20 cents. Wouldn't this cost him his life?
The third aunt quickly supported Yan Bugui, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Old Yan, Jie Cheng is the eldest son of our Yan family. You must not be reluctant to give up money and ruin the rest of his life.
"
"Okay, I'll pay this money!" Yan Bugui almost broke his teeth.
He didn't have that much money with him, so he had to ask the third aunt to go back to the courtyard and get the money.
Seeing the money being put into the drawer by the comrade who collected the money, Yan Bugui felt chills all over.
That's his money.
Holding the payment slip, Yan Bugui and the third aunt met Yan Jiecheng.
At this time, Yan Jie was disheveled, with a foul smell all over his body. There were a few bloody cuts on his face, and the cotton-padded jacket on his body also had several big holes, exposing gray-white cotton wool.
In just a few days, Yan Jiecheng lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were chapped. When he saw Yan Bugui and his third aunt, he burst out crying with an 'ah' sound.
Think about what it would be like for a grown man to cry in front of so many people, but Yan Jiecheng really couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He had been living in so much pain these past few days.
"Snapped!"
As soon as Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth, he received a slap on the face.
He touched his face and looked at Yan Bugui in disbelief: "Dad, you, you hit me?"
Although Yan Bugui is stingy, he is also very calculating. Every child in the family has to pay for the flashlight when using it.
However, as an old teacher, he has never advocated corporal punishment. Yan Jiecheng has never been beaten since he was a child.
"It's you I'm beating!" Yan Bugui said angrily, his mouth twitching: "Look, what did you do this time! Framing Li Donglai, ah! Li Donglai has done a great kindness to our Yan family, you are repaying kindness with hatred."
"I, I was wrong, Dad, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again." Yan Jiecheng's attitude towards admitting his mistakes was very good.
This made Yan Bugui calm down a little, and the third aunt persuaded him: "Lao Yan, the child knows that he is wrong. No one has ever made a mistake. As the saying goes, a prodigal son can't be replaced with gold, as long as he corrects it later,
That is still our good son."
She looked at the people watching beside her and whispered: "Lao Yan, it's so embarrassing to have so many people watching here. Let's go back quickly."
Yan Bugui is also a person who cares about face, otherwise in the original work, when he was picking up scraps, he would not have carefully disguised himself, for fear that other people in the courtyard would know.
Seeing everyone around him looking at this side with curious eyes, he nodded: "Okay, let's go back first."
After walking out of the police station, Yan Jiecheng looked up at the sun in the sky and felt relieved.
He never thought that he would see the outside world again in this life.
The third aunt saw his excited look and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Back in the courtyard, the third aunt did not let Yan Jiecheng enter the yard. Instead, she borrowed a brazier from the neighbor next door, put some dry firewood in the brazier, and lit it.
When the bright red flames burst out from inside, the third aunt hurriedly shouted: "Jie Cheng, jump over quickly. As long as you jump over, all the bad luck on your body will be gone, and you will be safe in the future."
Yan Jiecheng looked a little timid when he looked at the red flames. The third aunt could only urge him from the side. In the end, there was really no other way. Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and jumped over the flames.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He originally thought that would be the end of it, but he did not expect that the third aunt actually prepared mugwort water in the house.
Looking at the white steaming enamel basin, Yan Jiecheng fell into silence. If he used this thing to wash his face, his face would probably be stained by the soup.
The third aunt urged from the side: "Jie Cheng, wash your face quickly. As long as you wash your face, you will no longer have any bad luck."
Yan Jiecheng:
Although Yan Jiecheng was reluctant, he still had to go through the entire procedure in accordance with the third aunt's wishes.
When he appeared in the main room with a red face, thinking that the whole thing was done and was about to go back to sleep, Yan Bugui stopped him.
"Jie Cheng, wait a minute. This is a self-criticism. When it's time to get off work, take the self-criticism to the gate and make a self-criticism in front of everyone."
Looking at the thick self-examination letter, Yan Jiecheng couldn't bear it any longer: "Dad, I have already admitted my crime, and our family has paid a fine, why do I still have to do a self-examination!"
Yan Jiecheng felt unbearably ashamed at the thought of doing self-criticism in front of so many people.
He is a young man and will get married in the future. If this matter becomes known to everyone, which girl will marry him.
Yan Bugui said with a cold face: "It's not just a review. Starting from today, you have to plan to clean the compound for a month to ensure that the ground is spotless. You also have to help a few people in our compound who are short of labor.
The old man does odd jobs."
After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Dad, these conditions are really too much!"
Yan Bugui looked Yan Jiecheng up and down with a cold face: "Is it too much? When you framed Li Donglai, didn't you think that you had gone too far?"
"I" Yan Jiecheng was speechless.
Yan Bugui said loudly: "This is the condition for Li Donglai to issue a letter of understanding. If you feel that you can't do it, I can send you back to Baolizi now."
Thinking of the hellish life inside, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but shudder, and quickly raised his hands and said: "No, no, dad, why don't I promise!"
Yan Jiecheng said yes, but a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. Of course, this could not be hidden from Yan Bugui's eyes.
However, Yan Bugui didn't think much about it. In his opinion, Yan Jie was not bad in nature, but he was confused for a while and did something wrong. As long as he was educated well, he could still turn around.
"Okay, let's leave it at that, I still have to go to work." Yan Bugui picked up his bag and hurried out of the house.
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was not in good spirits, the third aunt made him a glass of boiling water, brought it to him, and said with a smile: "Jiecheng, don't blame your father. The main thing is that what you did is really too big.
What kind of person is Li Donglai? He has been abroad, appeared on TV, and is said to have been registered in a police agency. He is also in charge of such a large laboratory. How dare you frame him? If it weren't for the good relationship between our two families, you
Dad lost face and almost knelt down in front of Li Donglai, can I forgive you?"
Listening to the third aunt talking, Yan Jiecheng nodded frequently, but he didn't think so.
What a big shot, he was just lucky, otherwise he would definitely be able to catch Li Donglai this time.
Also, Yu Li has now become the director of the seasoning factory. This matter is closely related to Li Donglai. There must be an affair between the two.
He was put in a colored hat by Li Donglai. If this revenge was not avenged, he would look down on himself for the rest of his life.
Of course, it is never too late for a man to take revenge in ten years.
Now that Li Donglai is so powerful, he is far from his opponent. He still has to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's good attitude, the third aunt really thought that Yan Jiecheng had sincerely repented. She said with a smile: "There is still some time before get off work is over. You take a rest first. When the time is up, I will call you."
At noon, those workers who did not eat in the canteen of the steel rolling mill in order to save meal tickets returned to the courtyard in twos and threes.
Before they even reached the door, they heard loud reading.
"I, Yan Jiecheng, framed Li Donglai, the first master of the Siheyuan, a while ago. Now I deeply realize my mistake. I sincerely repent and promise not to make the same mistake again from now on."
The residents of the courtyard and surrounding compounds had all heard about Yan Jiecheng's frame-up of Li Donglai. Seeing this situation, they immediately understood.
So they gathered around and pointed at Yan Jiecheng.
"This person is Yan Jiecheng. I heard that this guy used his ex-wife to frame Li Donglai and was arrested. Why is he being released now?"
"It's not that Li Donglai has good intentions. If you ask me, this kind of person should be locked up behind a fence to let him lose his memory."
"Ahem, don't do anything wrong. I think Yan Jiecheng has realized his mistakes and should give him a chance to change his ways."
"Yes, it's not easy for Yan Bugui. If Yan Jiecheng gets into the fence, the Yan family will be in big trouble."
There weren't many entertainment programs in this era, so Yan Jiecheng's public desire to criticize quickly spread throughout the neighborhood.
In the following days, whenever Yan Jiecheng stood at the gate and began to recite self-examination, the crowd would crowd the gate.
Ding Qiunan couldn't bear to see the blushing Yan Jiecheng in the crowd. After returning home, he persuaded Li Donglai: "Brother Donglai, since Yan Jiecheng has realized his mistake, can't you let him go? Let him stand in so many places
Isn’t it a bit too much to make a self-criticism in front of others?”
"Too much? If I had been framed by Yan Jiecheng, I might not have even had the chance to self-examine." Li Donglai stood up, took Ding Qiunan's hand, asked her to sit down, and explained in detail: "Although Yan Jiecheng admitted his mistake, what was going on in his heart?
No one knows what he was thinking. If he is truly repentant, self-reflection in public is a way for him to change his ways."
As he said that, Li Donglai's face became serious: "If he feels that he has been wronged and harbors resentment, he will definitely take action again if he loses face in front of so many people." An emotional person
A human being is much easier to deal with than a poisonous snake hiding in the grass."
Ding Qiunan originally thought that Li Donglai had forgiven Yan Jiecheng, but he did not expect that Li Donglai had prepared a back-up plan.
This operation is definitely a one-step, three-step operation. Just thinking about it, Ding Qiunan felt that this operation was very superb.
However, these have nothing to do with her, she just needs to listen to Li Donglai.
The two chatted for a while and saw that it was almost time for school to be over and it was time for Li Xiaomei to come back, so they prepared to make lunch.
Lunch was stewed salty rice. As soon as I sat the black iron pot on the coal stove, a sound came from outside.
"Brother Donglai, are you at home?"
Li Donglai wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen. He saw that the people coming were Sha Zhu and He Yuyu, and he quickly invited them into the house.
After the two of them sat down, they poured tea for them.
"Brother Donglai, stop working so hard. I came here today to tell you that Yu Yu is getting married next week."
This kind of thing could have been explained to Li Donglai when they met in the factory or the compound, but Yu Juhua felt that doing so was too disrespectful to Li Donglai, so the two of them came to visit in person.
"This is a good thing. The young policeman is a nice guy. Are you ready for the rain and everything?" Li Donglai asked with a smile.
