Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when Song Yiting's uncle He Yingwei was released from prison. The couple went to Jiangnan City in advance and drove to the prison gate early the next morning.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the prison gate slowly opened, and He Yingwei, with a bald head, walked out of the deep prison behind him with his luggage.
While serving his sentence in prison, He Yingwei felt quite depressed. Except for his niece who visited him once, no one else had ever seen him. His former friends also stayed away from him, fearing that they would have anything to do with him.
This is even more so for his ex-wife. Since he was arrested by the procuratorate, they have divorced. Now he really doesn't know where his ex-wife and the children have gone.
After being in prison for a year and a half, part of his personality has changed, but the character at heart cannot be changed.
The moment He Yingwei walked out of the prison gate, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of the air outside the high walls. This air was many times fresher than the turbid air inside the prison.
"Uncle." Seeing that He Yingwei was no longer as fat as before, Song Yiting walked over quickly.
He Yingwei looked straight at Yuan Fangguo's face. His niece had told him before that she had a boyfriend who loved her very much. After seeing this today, he could guess He Yingwei's whereabouts.
"Tingting, you're here." He Yingwei forced a smile, but his eyes were still on Yuan Fangguo's face while he spoke.
His meaning is obvious.
Song Yiting nodded and pointed to her husband behind her and said, "Uncle, this is my husband, his name is Yuan Fangguo."
"Hello, uncle." Yuan Fangguo extended his hand.
He Yingwei smiled slightly and then extended his hand.
The three of them exchanged a few words outside the gate and then drove straight to Chengdu.
On the way back, Song Yiting told him about her grandmother's situation over the past year.
After seeing that they had done a good job of "comforting" the old man, He Yingwei tacitly agreed with Song Yiting's statement. He and his sister both went to work in the border areas.
"How long will your sentence last, sister?" He Yingwei suddenly asked.
He Yingjie's performance in prison was indeed good. She had her sentence reduced again not long ago. The total amount of time she was reduced is almost eight months. She was formally arrested by the procuratorate in April 1998. According to the reduced sentence, she will be released in the first half of next year.
Song Yiting told him about her mother's experience in prison. After listening to her, He Yingwei was silent for a long time.
After a while, he finally uttered a word, "I hurt my elder sister."
When Song Yiting and Yuan Fangguo heard this, they felt very complicated.
There was silence in the car for a long time before Song Yiting spoke, "Uncle, let the past be the past. Living in the present is the most important thing."
He Yingwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, after this time, I must turn over a new leaf and become a new person."
Yuan Fangguo sped all the way. After the three of them had a brief rest for an hour in a small town at noon, they hurried to Chengdu.
Finally, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Chengdu.
Song Yiting had already told this news to her father Song Nianyou. Of course, she also told her father about He Yingwei's aid to Xinjiang, for fear that he might say something wrong.
Song Nianyou doesn't talk much on weekdays, so the probability of him making such a mistake is very small.
Besides, Song Nianyou is still being annoyed by Niu Pengcheng.
Previously, Niu Pengcheng vowed that it would be completed before July 1st. However, at the end of June, Song Nianyou went to check and found that Niu Pengcheng had not made any rectifications at all. He was so angry that he called Niu Pengcheng on the spot. After Niu Pengcheng answered the call, he suddenly realized something and said that he had been too busy recently and would go to the park to make rectifications tomorrow.
As a result, Song Nianyou went there early the next day. It was past ten o'clock in the morning when two workers carrying work tools and cement buckets came over.
Song Nianyou went forward and asked, and found out that these two workers were the ones Niu Pengcheng and his team had called in for rectification.
"Just the two of you?" He looked surprised.
The two workers also looked confused and nodded subconsciously, "Yes, let's come over and fix those cracked embankments."
"Not only those cracked embankments, but also the artificial lake and the pavilion on the mountain..." Song Nianyou listed all the shoddy projects of Niu Pengcheng and his team in one breath.
"What? So many?" The two workers were stunned.
Song Nianyou nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"Our boss only told us those tasks. We can't do the rest. If you want to do them, you have to tell our boss." The two workers quickly shook their heads.
Song Nianyou knew that even if he explained it to them, he would not be able to get anything out of it. As a last resort, he took out his cell phone and called Niu Pengcheng.
Who knew that Niu Pengcheng didn't answer.
Song Nianyou was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he called a few more times, but Niu Pengcheng still didn't take it. He was so angry that he kicked his feet.
The two workers ignored him and started working on their own things.
This time, Song Nianyou couldn't contain his anger anymore and directly called the two workers away.
The two workers were even more confused about Aki, but since he looked clean and innocent, he looked like an official, so they had no choice but to leave with the cement bucket.
It was not until the afternoon that Niu Pengcheng called him back.
Of course, Song Nianyou couldn't outsmart the old fox Niu Pengcheng.
"Mr. Song, we can't find any workers these days. Please give me some time."
"Your company is so big, how come you can't recruit people?" Song Nianyou asked back.
"Isn't this peak labor season everywhere? Our company has taken on several projects within the province, and National Day is coming up soon. This year is a big celebration, and all our frontline workers have gone to those construction sites. The province has issued a statement: this is a glorious and huge political task, requiring us to go all out to complete it."
Niu Pengcheng's words left Song Nianyou speechless, and he could only accept it.
"So when do you think it will be finished?"
"I definitely don't have time recently, maybe around National Day." Niu Pengcheng rolled his eyes.
"I dare not promise you for the time being. I am just a supervisor in this matter. Our leader will have to make the final decision." Song Nianyou said helplessly.
"Hey, everyone in the bureau is my buddy, we know each other very well." Niu Pengcheng said nonchalantly.
…
Song Nianyou finally reported the situation to the director. He originally thought that the director would be furious and criticize him again, but this time the director's reaction was quite calm. He just said softly, "I know," and there was no further news.
