I suspect you are not a good student

The land Xie Hecheng stayed in is considered remote in the suburbs. To drive here, one has to go through a long tunnel, and then come out. The desolation and desolation are like two worlds. The streets are so clean that no one can be found, and there are only coffee shops for a few miles. An entertainment venue didn't even have a single extra streetlight, and the office plaque directly opposite read "Fang Zheng" in large characters, "The Third Ward of Gang City Prison".

Because there were few people, Yan Ruoruo's taxi had attracted their attention from the very beginning when they turned into the tunnel with them.

The woman didn't wear a dress today, she got out of the car, wearing a pair of pure white high-waisted wide-leg pants with a thin trench coat, and walked straight to the table at the outermost corner when she entered the store.

There were no other customers, Yan Ruoruo immediately received the warmest hospitality from the waiter as soon as she entered. Xie Chuhong's first reaction was that the store's decoration was exquisite and out of place.

"Is it really not going to lose money until it goes bankrupt?"

"The boss is not short of money, and the rent here is not too expensive." Zhou Changde parked the car under a series of trees across the road, the tires crackling on the dead leaves, "It's been five years since you drove it. This store was there when Dad came in, and it may have to be opened for six to eight years in the future, and the owner's wife is inside."

That is, it is specially opened for waiting.

Xie Chuhong: "This is... 13 years in prison?"

What crime can be sentenced to 13 years...

"Excessive defense resulted in the death of the other party, and he was convicted of intentional homicide." Zhou Changde turned off the lights outside, leaving only a small lamp on top of the two of them. His wife killed him by accident in order to save him back then."

Xie Chuhong was stunned: "Then this will be sentenced to 13 years?"

"Justifiable self-defense has only been slowly adjusted in the past two years. In the past, the conditions for certifying justifiable self-defense were very strict, and they had no money at that time." Zhou Changde looked at the opposite side with him, and the cafe was as bright as Bright lights, lighting up the empty street day after day at night, "opening a store here can only do business for relatives to visit prisons, saying that they are psychologically prepared to lose money, and they just keep people in mind, but the boss Once the store here was opened, the company's business suddenly improved, and it went public within a year."

The first thing the boss does when he has money is to renovate the whole store, and pretend it is in the style and style that his wife likes. All the employees working in the store have relatives who cannot be let go in prison.

"His wife loves sirloin and pasta, so he asked a Michelin-starred chef to make sirloin and pasta. He doesn't like coffee, but he likes the atmosphere of the coffee shop, so the coffee in the shop is learned by the staff. Yes, no one was invited."

Everything is based on the wife's preferences.

Xie Chuhong was a little bit sad when he heard that: "But I thought economic prisoners and murderers would be held separately."

"It's divided, but didn't the boss get rich later?" Zhou Changde didn't say anything.

The cafe is fast.

After only a few words from them, Yan Ruoruo had already drank the hand-made coffee from the clerk, and did nothing special, just stared at the empty scene outside in a daze, her gaze was probably pointing to the third prison, erratically.

Xie Chuhong: "Does my mother come here often?"

"Maybe similar to me, occasionally. I met her once or twice at night before, but she was in front and didn't notice me." Zhou Changde also parked his car on the side of the road as inconspicuously as he is now.

Xie Chuhong couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. On the one hand, he was happy that maybe his mother still had his father in his heart, but on the other hand, he felt amused by his unrealistic illusion that the two might get back together.

Zhou Changde obviously knew what he was thinking: "Hecheng himself knows that it is impossible."

If you took the wrong first step back then, you knew it was impossible.

"But my mother visits him often..."

The relationship between husband and wife has been real for more than ten years, so it should be seen, but like Yan Ruoruo, who has been remarried to other men for a long time, and sometimes chooses non-visiting time, watching alone, Xie Chuhong always feels a bit excessive.

"I've had this problem before." Zhou Changde glanced at the time, "We'll find out later, maybe your Uncle Wang is working overtime today."

Before Xie Chuhong could say "what do you mean?", another private car drove up from behind with low beams on.

He parked in the parking space at the entrance of the coffee shop, and it was his stepdad who got down. He rushed all the way to sit opposite Yan Ruoruo.

Xie Chuhong was a little dumbfounded: "My mother is here, so does Uncle Wang know?"

He subconsciously defined Yan Ruoruo's behavior as "in private" and "secretly".

No wonder it's impossible...

"You also know that Ruoruo and your Uncle Wang met when they were traveling and relaxing. Both of them had just divorced, and they both happened to be from Hong Kong." Zhou Changde remembered that Yan Ruoruo didn't know what to do. Mention it to the children and discuss it with them, "After confirming again and again that you have no objection, she will go further."

Maybe it's because they both got divorced once, the two of them know how to take care of each other better, and they cherish it more, so everything went smoothly.

During that year, Xie Hecheng observed while preparing for the prison disaster he might face at any time.

"Your Uncle Wang is also a very nice person, honest and responsible, with a stable career and enough room for improvement. If you are with him, Hecheng has no objections."

But Xie Chuhong was very uncomfortable with his father being so self-righteous and pushing people away: "Why should he make decisions for others."

at least……

"At least tell the truth." Zhou Changde's voice calmed down in the car, "Seven years is too long, he doesn't want Ruo Ruo to guard him."

If Yan Ruoruo knew the truth, it would be impossible for her to get divorced and remarry, and all her assets would be frozen. How would she support Xie Chuhong?

"Ruo Ruo has been helping Crane City repair the hole at that time, and I feel very guilty for you."

"……why?"

"Because Crane City left so much for you, I hope she can take good care of you, at least not have financial difficulties."

Maybe it's out of friendship, morality, or something else, but in the final analysis, Yan Ruoruo is also a very thoughtful person.

"Whether it's taking so much money out at once, or throwing your child into someone else's home, it's not a decision that anyone can make casually."

Xie Chuhong was silent in the co-pilot, living together for so many years, it was like the first time he really knew his mother.

Zhou Changde asked him if he wanted to go down and meet him.

He didn't even think about it: "No, I'll just take a look..."

Zhou Changde smiled: "Sometimes you really look like Crane City, so do you still want to eat?"

"I want to, but how can I eat if I can't go there?"

"Just order delivery."

As Zhou Changde said, he skillfully dialed the phone number at the front desk of the coffee shop.

There is no need for a menu, just a long list, and finally let the package be delivered to the car across the street. The clerk who answered the phone was not surprised, and even asked him in turn, did he also request that he not let the two customers in the store know this time? .

Zhou Changde smiled and said yes.

The clerk responded as usual.

Obviously this is not the first time this kind of situation happened, it happened naturally, until Xie Chuhong actually ate creamy pasta with a fork in the car under the warm yellow light on his head, it felt a little real.

This store packs very carefully, using special lunch boxes with their "three" logo, not only the meals are placed on the plate, they are delivered together, and there is even an incubator.

"It's not bad to eat Western food in the car once in a while." Zhou Changde said while cutting a steak on his lap.

It was the first time Xie Chuhong had such a novel experience: "My dad has never brought me out like this before."

"Let me do his job, and I can't."

"It feels like you have a really good relationship."

"Your aunt also suspected that there was something wrong with us before."

"?"

Xie Chuhong laughed out loud.

Until the end of that day, Xie Chuhong didn't understand why his mother and Uncle Wang chose to eat here.

But Zhou Changde felt that there was no need to think about this question, just like Qiu Yun and Zhou Shiyi didn't need to understand why they came here in the middle of the night to eat Western food in the car when they got home later.

——Xie Chuhong just opened the door with the key and "revealed".

Qiuyun smelled him from all the way, and was very angry: "You guys went to eat in that coffee shop and didn't take me!"

Zhou Changde followed behind Xie Chuhong, just stepping on the falling voice and took out the packed lunch box: "I brought it for you."

Qiu Yun's eyes lit up: "Durian pizza and purple potato egg tart!"

Zhou Changde asked Xie Chuhong to call Zhou Shiyi out for extra meals.

When Xie Chuhong entered the room, Zhou Shiyi was still leaning on the desk, and when he saw him coming in, he reached out to hug him.

Xie Chuhong was wrapped around his waist by him: "I'm still reviewing math, in fact, as long as I promise to do everything correctly, the score will not be low."

"If I can guarantee it, you should bet six hundred with me." Zhou Shiyi was also obviously tired, closing his eyes and leaning against his waist, "Why did you go out with my dad to eat so delicious?"

"Is it so obvious?" Xie Chuhong couldn't help laughing, they even opened the car windows, "But your dad is really nice."

With endless emotion, Zhou Shiyi had no reason to agree.

"of course."

I don't know if it was because Zhou Changde took him out for a meal the night before, but Xie Chuhong was in a good mood for the exam the next day, so he happily went to the infirmary to take the Chinese test with a pen.

The infirmary happens to be a suite, and there is a separate lounge for patients to rest.

In order to set up the "examination room" for him, the school doctor specially went to work half an hour earlier, added a set of desks and chairs, and hung the clock. When the time comes, just throw the person in and close the door, a single room, and the invigilator will be exempted.

Xie Chuhong has never been under much pressure in the Chinese language test. Usually, in the 150-minute test, he can leave 10 minutes for the composition.

But this time he was limping, so the Chinese teacher pinched his fingers and decided to collect his test papers five or ten minutes in advance, and asked him to read the general idea of ​​the composition to the school doctor and write it down, without writing the details.

But writing directly by yourself is very different from letting others write about the experience with your mouth. It always makes Xie Chuhong feel that it takes more time to refine it in his head. brain.

As early as when the receipt was issued, Xie Chuhong knew that the school doctor's handwriting was beautiful, and said that when the test paper was handed in, he would have to cheat a lot of points because of the extra paper.

The school doctor was uncharacteristically serious and wrote without raising his head: "What's the next sentence? Don't you know that you can't gossip with each other during the exam?"

After filling out everything that could be filled, Xie Chuhong even handed in the paper 10 minutes earlier.

Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard the school doctor who had accepted his test paper call out, asking him to go out and do a favor.

It seems that someone is coming.

Xie Chuhong opened the door, blood was dripping sporadically on the ground.

The person who came was Xu Heshen who was supposed to be in the examination room.
