Chapter 139 The Price of Growth

That night, Xiong Wei showed Cheng Xiaoyu a different kind of 'Feast for the Wind'.

The pony was gathered together, and a wooden board procured from somewhere was placed on the pony. There was an aluminum basin of clear seaweed soup with a few extra drops of sesame oil that shouldn't be in it; the ham sold in the store was cut into pieces.

A small pot is filled with slices; peanuts, chicken feet, country bumpkin eggs; a large piece of fatty pork head and a small pot of pork belly are the main dishes on this table. Things that can be bought for tens of dollars outside can't be explained here.

How much effort does it take to get it done?

Liquor in plastic barrels is even more rare. Three or five people are sitting around drinking and eating. You can hear the swallowing and spitting sounds of some prisoners who can only watch from a distance. Although the food in the prison has increased, it is still a big fat meal.

The impact of the movie and the pork head meat still made them tasteless for dinner. Just smelling the smell made them salivate.

The changes in specific senses in a specific environment were unusually large. After seeing this scene, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have much energy to save up to eat. He simply filled his stomach and drank a glass of wine, then excused himself from discomfort and ended the 'wind feast'.

Lying on the bed, feeling the cold hard bed board under me, watching a table of 'lavish' dishes being shared by everyone, everyone eating deliciously, in this cage of freedom and lack of entertainment, it seems that eating and sleeping are two separate things.

Everyone's only definition of life is that in order to enjoy a good meal, most people will work hard so that their families can spend enough money to ensure their "poor" material life.

What a resemblance!

The scene in front of me is so similar to my own choice. In the eyes of a small number of people who have absolute resources, the people who work hard to climb to the top in the city are very similar to the people in front of them who are "rewarded" with food and drink. No matter how

In any environment, no matter how it is expressed, real resources are always only in the hands of a few people. They are gods in a broad sense, and can easily control the living conditions of many people, and even control the life and death of many people.

Are you also working hard to become one of these few people?

Things that I never thought of have been done now, killing, what a distant and unfamiliar word?

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at his left hand. The origin of everything lies here. Having superpowers has changed his life, and also changed his trajectory to varying degrees. He has the capital to climb up, and he also has the ability to change the fate of others.

Capital, but now he is still unable to adapt to a certain change that has come too fast.

However, Shangguanjie's incident also made Cheng Xiaoyu full of confidence in his future. In a true sense, for the first time, he did a big and vigorous event based on his own will. Even if the incident was not what he wanted at the beginning, he might be able to change it with his own hands.

Destiny has preserved a rare dignity and pride. Cheng Xiaoyu is very satisfied. He does not regret everything he has done. Even looking back now, he still feels a faint sense of satisfaction.

Your own destiny should be in your own hands.

The primitive accumulation process of waiting for the future was over, and all worries were lifted. Cheng Xiaoyu found that he had a rare and peaceful sleep in the cell. He did not need to guess people's hearts or worry that Shangguanjie would take the initiative to attack him one day, because now all this has been done

No longer exists.

"Go, Su Qin in the corner carries his sword."

"You, chick with bright wings!"

Cheng Xiaoyu opened his eyes drowsily and was woken up by peeing. According to his biological clock, it was four or five o'clock now. He shook his head and sat up. He first saw Xiong Wei sitting on the bed, and then he saw

At the door, a few young people were instructing two people to pose and hold in the corner.

I have never eaten pork or seen pork, but I have heard about the taste of pork. Cheng Xiaoyu also has a slight understanding of some of the so-called rules in the prison through movies, TV novels and people's words. He knows that these two people are newcomers and veteran prisoners.

Cheng Xiaoyu was giving them a command, and he didn't have the sympathy of a good person. He walked into the washing area with the smiley face of the people on the side, and approached the shower heads on both sides of the back wall. There was a row of wash basins on the side of the cell door, on the inside.

There are five squatting positions, and a group of big men live in a cell. It is conceivable that it will not be as clean as your own home, but fortunately, the prison's supervision system is pretty good, and the overall feeling is cleaner than the public restrooms in ordinary hotels and hospitals.

Cheng Xiaoyu's three-month prison life officially began. With Xiong Wei's care, he was not assigned to do manual labor in the scorching sun. At most, he was responsible for supervising the work. Everything in his imagination did not happen. Xiong Wei lived here.

It's very nourishing, and I already have the air of being a big brother.

Cheng Xiaoyu disagrees with Xiong Wei's path, but will not actively interfere with the path chosen by others. Just like when he chose to stand on the opposite side of Shangguanjie, Zhang Sen helped without hesitation but did not speak. Everyone has his own

This path needs to be chosen by himself, and no one can make decisions and choices for him.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Sen and others came to visit the prison, brought a lot of delicious food, and deposited money into their accounts. During this period, the college student named Meng Tian came twice.

Xiong Weidu refused to meet. He told Cheng Xiaoyu privately that she was a good girl but not suitable for him, and he was afraid that he would delay others.

Cheng Xiaoyu went to meet Meng Tian on behalf of Xiong Wei: "If you just think that you have such a powerful boyfriend, I will not object to your association, and will help you get together; if you are really attracted to him, then I will

I would like to advise you to stay away from him. Such a man cannot bring you happiness, but will only bring you disaster."

"You don't need to take care of our affairs." The arrogance of a college student and the coquettishness of a beautiful woman merged together. Meng Tian left with her bag on her back, with a face that didn't care. As for what she was thinking, maybe only she herself knew.

Coupled with Cheng Xiaoyu, she is really a good girl, and the boss is blessed.

Within a month, Cheng Xiaoyu's talent for maintenance was also discovered, and he became a special technical prisoner that the guards were willing to give a smile to.

If there is a problem with the air conditioner in the office, the refrigerator and freezer in the cafeteria, the cold storage in the warehouse, or some of the guards' personal electronic products, Cheng Xiaoyu will be contacted if there is a problem. He has lived up to his expectations, saving a lot of money for the prison and for some individual guards.

Even his meals and daily policies were relatively relaxed, and all the prisoners in the cell followed suit. The more things Cheng Xiaoyu experienced, the richer his experience became, and the more experienced he became in dealing with people. Don't underestimate anyone in the prison.

Prisoners, forget about petty theft, but criminals who commit economic crimes and high-IQ crimes are not ordinary people. Everyone is the best among men. It's just that they were greedy or took the wrong path and ended up today.

There is an old horse head in the cells of Cheng Xiaoyu and Xiong Wei. It is said that he was also prosperous in the 1970s and 1980s. He was a senior researcher in the economic department who was not taken seriously in that era. In the tide of reform and opening up, his hands were stretched too long and too much.

Quick, there are too many things that I want to seize. It is said that a lot of national property was sold in a flash. Because of the good performance and the major historical events and the change of leadership, Wuqi changed the policy to twenty years, and accumulated more

After receiving a lot of reduced sentence points, in less than a year, he was transferred to the prison for light-duty prisoners in his hometown. After arriving, he kept a low profile. He was an old man who was nearly sixty years old. The senior prisoner here was crooked.

Yao Tai knows a lot about it, he doesn’t offend people, he doesn’t mind other people’s business, he doesn’t have eyes or ears, and he usually works as a library assistant in the prison, and he can always get a book or two to take back to read, most of which are about economics.

Books, people around him regard him as an old monster, and few people pay attention to him.

"Brother Yu, you are so arrogant. I am just a bad old man. I am not a big shot. You have big things to do, so why don't you let me go?" The old man held his fists in his hands and looked like he was begging. Cheng Xiaoyu was

After pestering him several times to learn financial economics from him, Lao Ma Tou did not dare to offend him again and again, so he could only plead with a grimace.

"Old Ma, have you introduced me to some books?" Cheng Xiaoyu always felt that this old Ma Tou was an expert. Anyway, he had a lot of free time in the prison. It would be interesting to tease him if he had nothing to do. If he could really learn something

This special experience of three months is not worth it.

""Western Economics", "The Wealth of Nations", "Currency War"." The old horse head quickly named the three names, and then left quickly.

"Then please help Lao Ma get it for me. Come to my bedside at night and I'll get a lamp." The first words made Lao Ma turn away with a grimace, and the next words made him turn around and walk away. This sweetness

The temptation of dates is not small. People who love reading will always feel that there is not enough time. The restrictions in the prison make long nights a waste of time. Everyone knows that Cheng Xiaoyu has a good relationship with the guards and is "powerful" in the cell. The opportunity to read is rare.

Old Ma Tou knew that it was not a good thing to be instigated like this, but he was still willing to jump into this little trap.

"Hehehe..."

This relaxed smile disappeared that night.

The central air-conditioning system of the correctional office building was damaged. The weather turned cold in November. It is located in a remote mountainous area. The prisoners can tolerate the cold. The correctional officers do not want their working environment to be too harsh. Even though it is dark, it is still cold.

Find Cheng Xiaoyu.

He found the fault with his left hand, and when he was about to repair it, a prison guard who had been taken care of by Brother Zhan a long time ago, and who had been taken care of by Xiong Wei when he came in, quietly walked to Cheng Xiaoyu and whispered: "Trouble is coming, Wang Zhan's former enemy

His son, a guy with a notorious reputation in neighboring provinces, is said to have come in specifically to trouble Xiong Wei and told him to be careful."

Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then simply repaired the fault point with his left hand. He fiddled with the central air conditioner a few times and restored it to normal. He stood up and left quickly. The guard just put a cigarette in his ear.

Back in the cell, Cheng Xiaoyu got more accurate information from Xiong Wei. This guy didn't come for Xiong Wei, but for himself.
