Ye Qing took the note and found that it was left by Cheng Yao.

Why is she looking for me so urgently?

Ye Qing borrowed the phone from the sentry booth and called her.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'll look for Cheng Yao."

This should be the phone number from their school. After calling it, you have to ask Cheng Yao to come and answer it.

Ye Qing waited for a while, and Cheng Yao came.

"I'm Ye Qing, what do you want from me?"

"It's a long story. Where are you now? I'll come find you."

Ye Qing told her the address of the store.

Cheng Yao hung up the phone and hurried out. When she was almost at the address Ye Qing mentioned, she found that she had been to this place before and bought something there.

I didn't expect Ye Qing to work here.

She pushed the door open and went in, "Ye Qing."

Ye Qing asked her to sit down, "What do you want to see me about?"

Cheng Yao looked at the red glow below.

Ye Qing took her to the back room.

Her previous room was still kept, but the wing connected to the Wang family's was rented out.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Can you save Yang Xu?"

Ye Qing, "Yang Xu? What happened to him?"

"He went dancing at a dance hall near the school on Saturday and was arrested by the Public Security Bureau. They said he had committed hooliganism."

When they were in Huaishu Village, Cheng Yao, Xu Wen and Yang Xu often studied together because they all wanted to go to university. They got along well and had a good relationship.

In addition, several of them were admitted to the same university, and Xu Wen and Yang Xu were studying the same major, so their interactions became even closer.

When Cheng Yao and Xu Wen heard about this, they immediately went to the Public Security Bureau, hoping to get Yang Xu released on bail. They paid a deposit to get him released.

But now the crime of hooliganism is investigated and punished very seriously, and bail is not allowed.

They also found out that the sentences for hooliganism are very severe nowadays, and people like Yang Xu will have to serve at least ten years in prison.

This is because it was his first time there and the situation was relatively minor.

One of those who was arrested with him was sentenced to death by firing squad because he had been there too many times and had been with four or five people.

"His family doesn't know about it yet. If they knew, who knows what would happen. You know his family's situation."

Both of Yang Xu's parents were in poor health, and it was not easy for them to raise Yang Xu and send him to university.

If I knew he was arrested and going to jail, I would definitely not be able to bear it.

Ye Qing also felt sorry for Yang Xu's situation.

But she remembered that Yang Xu had always been an honest and decent person, so why did he suddenly have the idea of going to the dance hall?

Cheng Yao, "He was also brought there by a classmate, and he was fine before. Who knew that something would suddenly happen?"

But how could she help him? She was neither from the Public Security Bureau nor the court.

Cheng Yao said, "Chen Lie is the leader now, so he must know a lot of people. Can you ask him to ask for a favor or something?"

We are from the same village after all, and we can’t just stand by and watch Yang Xu get ruined like this.”

Ten years is indeed too long, and it is also the best ten years of life.

Ye Qing was silent for a moment, "I'll tell Chen Lie."

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Xu has always been nice to the original owner.

She should help him both morally and logically.

At noon, Ye Qing went back half an hour early and cooked a few dishes that Shen Lie liked.

Last time, Chen Lie was very jealous of Yang Xu, and she was afraid that Chen Lie would not be willing to help him.

It should be easier to come up with some sugar-coated bullets to please him and make him happy.

After finishing cooking, she saw that Chen Lie had not returned yet, so she went to the bedroom to take out the quilt and put it in the yard to dry.

These two days she always felt that the quilt had a musty smell. It must have been left in the room for too long. It would be better if she took it out to dry in the sun.

When Chen Lie drove back, he saw Ye Qing sticking out her little butt and hitting the quilt with a clothes hanger in her hand.

He took a deep breath and called out to her.

When Ye Qing saw Chen Lie coming back, he stopped patting the quilt and welcomed him in with a smile. He also considerately hung his military cap and uniform on the hanger.

"Are you hungry? I've prepared the food. Go wash your hands and eat. These are all your favorite dishes."

Before, Political Commissar Li always told him how good it was to get married and advised him to get married as soon as possible.

He didn't take it seriously at that time.

Today, seeing Ye Qing welcoming him at home in her pretty face and circling around him like a little bee, he felt warm in his heart.

This should be the benefit of having a family that Political Commissar Li mentioned.

At the dinner table, Ye Qing saw that Chen Lie's mouth was always curled up and he seemed to be in a good mood, so he mentioned Yang Xu to him.

"Chen Lie, do you still remember Yang Xu?"

Chen Lie raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your childhood sweetheart?"

"What childhood sweetheart?" he asked vaguely. "Just a friend who grew up together."

She really didn't understand Chen Lie's character. He clearly cared about those four words, but he still had to say them out loud.

Hearing Ye Qing say this, Shen Lie felt a little relieved, "What happened to him?"

Ye Qing briefly explained how Yang Xu was captured.

"Can you help him? If he really has to go in there for ten years, his life will be ruined."

Chen Lie frowned, "Comrade Ye Qing, your thinking is too improper. The country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. He has committed a crime and should be punished."

"I know, but isn't that a bit too serious? He just went there to dance."

"A crime is a crime, no matter how big or small it is."

Seeing that Chen Lie couldn't make sense, Ye Qing also became a little angry, "How can you not have any sympathy at all? We are from the same village after all, can you bear to watch his good life ruined like this?"

Chen Lie frowned. "What does this have to do with sympathy? Remember those robbers on the fire? They have been arrested now.

Do you want to see the police and judges go easy on them out of sympathy?"

"Yang Xu is different from them. He didn't rob or hurt anyone. He just went there to dance."

"Dongdong, Chenlie."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Shen Lie glanced at Ye Qing and stood up to open the door.

It was Political Commissar Li. "Chen Lie, I caught some fish today. They're all snakehead fish, and they're pretty big. We can't finish them at home, so I'll give you two."

Shen Lie remembered that Ye Qing liked to eat pickled fish made from black fish, so he accepted it without refusing.

Putting the fish in the kitchen basin, Shen Lie returned to the dining room.

The moment Chen Lie came over, Ye Qing smelled the fishy smell and felt a sudden wave of nausea in his stomach. He retched with a "ouch".

Covering my nose, I said, "Don't come over here, it smells so fishy."

Shen Lie quickly took two steps back and smelled his hand that had just held the fish. There was no smell. He had just washed his hands.

After a few seconds of pausing, he looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Has your period not come yet this month?"
