Today was her monthly visit day. After the children had gone to school, she picked up the things she had packed the night before and rode her bicycle to the prison.
She sat on the other side of the visiting room, anxiously waiting for Tang Boyi. When she saw Tang Boyi come out, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
Although they meet every month, she is still as excited every time, and this impatience has never changed.
"Boyi, you've lost weight. Is it because your work has been harder lately?" She couldn't wait to speak before Boyi.
Boyidui laughed and said, "Really? I've been feeling pretty relaxed lately. Look, I even have a little belly. How can I be thinner? You're mistaken."
With Shumei's repeated encouragement, Boyi has come out of despair and is full of hope for the future.
He no longer sought death and began to behave actively in prison, striving to get out as soon as possible and reunite with Shumei and the others.
"That's good." Shumei said as she took out the things in her bag one by one.
"Is everything alright at home?"
"Well, everything is fine at home. Both children are very obedient. Youchen has grown a lot recently and is almost catching up with me. Here, these are Youchen's final mock exam results. He scored 99 in Chinese and 100 in math, making him first in the class again. This is Shuangning's. Shuangning is not bad either. He scored 93 in Chinese and 95 in math, making him fifth in the class."
To give Boyi hope, Shumei used the test papers of Xiao Shuangning and Xiao Youchen. She brought the papers to Boyi and showed them to him, explaining to him.
Boyi looked at the numbers written in red pen on the test paper and was so happy that he cried.
"Shumei, thank you, thank you for teaching the children so well. You have worked so hard while I am away."
"What can the family say thank you for? It's not because I taught them well, but because the children are very obedient and sensible. Not only do they study well, but they also help me with things when they have free time. I am really happy to have them accompany me. The children miss you too and are looking forward to seeing you soon. You must be well and come out soon so that our family can be reunited."
Every time Shumei came, Boyi was moved to tears. He was truly grateful that he had married Shumei, and of course, he was also grateful that God had given him a chance to start over. He vowed to be good and never let down those who cared about him.
Boyi usually doesn't talk much. He likes to listen to Shumei quietly. He likes to hear Shumei's voice and likes to look at her face full of vicissitudes of life.
Every time Shumei saw Boyi, she had endless things to say. From the moment she saw Boyi, she almost didn't want to stop.
Because the visiting time is limited, she wants to say more to Boyi in the limited time.
She took out the daily necessities she had brought for Boyi, as well as the fruits she had grown herself, and gave them to him one by one, saying, "Boyi, the oranges in the yard are ripe, so I picked some for you. Also, these are the cloth shoes I made for you, and these are the boiled peanuts I dried; they should be fine for storage. And, in case you're bored, I brought you a book of ghost stories. Ask the guard to bring them all in later."
Boyi just watched quietly. After Shumei finished introducing all the things she brought, he continued, "Shumei, you don't need to bring so many things every time you come. We have everything here. Leave these for the children and you!"
"There's still some at home, don't worry about it. By the way, I also brought you some money. If you need anything, you can use this money for emergencies." She said as if she had suddenly realized something, took out a stack of change from her pocket.
Although the money was not much, she had squeezed it out with great effort.
Boyi looked at this pile of things and felt mixed emotions.
From Shumei's hands covered with calluses and her skin, which was once as white as snow but had now turned dark, it was not difficult for him to guess that Shumei was not living well.
He was reluctant to expose all this, as he didn't want to make Shumei feel more uneasy. He knew that only if he accepted it with joy and was full of hope for the future would Shumei feel more at ease.
"Well! Take good care of yourself and don't get too tired. I won't do anything stupid again. I will definitely get out of here safely and spend the rest of my life with you and the children."
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
"I still owe you a wedding. When I get out, I will definitely make it up to you."
Boyi didn't make many promises to Shumei, but it seemed that this was the only relatively decent promise he had kept to this day.
The two looked at each other lovingly. Love is like lightning at high speed, which can penetrate the night sky, split any obstacles and go wherever it wants to go.
This is the story of their everlasting love. Although they are separated by high walls and iron barriers, the light of love remains undimmed, penetrating the walls and tightly tying the two together.
