29 A pair of hands that turn waste into treasure
At the beginning of the morning, on the dense pine trees in the green belt of the community, the birds kept singing, and the people were full of excitement.
Tina rubbed her eyes and looked at the new bicycle parked on the gravel path. In a dream, she asked in disbelief, "Aren't it tattered yesterday? You enchanted."
It's just after six o'clock. In the community, there are only uncles and aunts who get up for morning exercise, and several students sitting at stone tables and stone benches reciting English. Office workers like her don't have it at all. She is used to getting up at eight o'clock in the morning, but she set the alarm clock to 7:30, and then adjusts the alarm clock back every ten minutes while lying on the bed, as if she had taken advantage of herself, rubbing her sleepy eyes and giggle.
She walked over and pressed the bright car bell, squeaking, and the car bell sounded crisply, which was particularly loud in the quiet and beautiful morning. She turned her head, and her bright eyes were full of curiosity. She asked, "How did you do it?"
Pan Lang rode on his bicycle. His snow-white shirt, which was cleaner and clearer than a shirt, could also be regarded as a scene of the community. He turned around and said to her, "Come up and have a try."
Tina nodded, sat in the back seat, put her arms around Pan Lang's waist, and her heart was sweet.
Pan Lang took her to ride in the garden of the community and said, "In fact, it's also very simple. The bell has been replaced with a new one. At least we are also a means of transportation. Although it is human, we can't do without a horn."
Tina smiled, and Pan Lang continued, "I came back yesterday and prepared the things to be modified. I got up an hour earlier than you. I wiped the whole car, oiled the chain, tighten the stir-on, sanded the unlit place on the car body with sandpaper, and patch the place where the paint fell off with a similar color of oil paint. That's what you see now.
It's simple to say, but it's not so easy to do. Tina was secretly surprised. Does she know Pan Lang? Because of the distance between time and space, they are close and dependent on each other, but she doesn't seem to know Pan Lang. Obviously, Pan Lang is better and more vivid than she thought.
She was in a twirling. Pan Lang had already shouted in front of her, "Come on, go down quickly."
Tina was shocked and jumped off the car quickly. She didn't sit for such a while, and something went wrong.
But she saw Pan Lang pedaling the car and had been riding far away. She shouted, "Hey, the car is not broken. Why do you ask me to come down?"
Pan Lang turned around, with a smile in his eyes and said, "When can't you sit in the car? It's rare to get up early in the morning. Just run a few steps."
Tina was stunned, and then chased after her with a smile.
——————————————————————
The two ran for a while. Tina and Pan Lang both leaned against the flower bed. Tina took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and asked, "I'm so tired. Do you think I can live for another ten years if I insist on running every morning?"
Pan Lang stopped the car, handed Tina a bottle of water, and then said, "No."
Tina looked up at him, but saw him smiling and saying, "I can live for another 20 years."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Pan Lang leaned against the edge of the flower bed and asked, "Has your brother left? I'm ready to vacate the small study. In such a big room, I can't worry about him."
It seems that the people around her are very concerned about Xin Kang. Can you understand that they love Wu and Wu? In fact, they really care about her.
She shook her head and was too lazy to hide her heart in front of Pan Lang. She told Xinkang's story from beginning to end. Finally, she held her cheek and said, "I don't know how to help him. He is not only facing the problem of gambling debt. If it's a gambling debt, I can help him pay it back when my commission comes down. But if he can't restrain himself, he will only get deeper and deeper, and those casino people will keep seducing him when they see that we pay off our gambling debts so easily.
Pan Lang raised his eyebrows. Since he knew Tina, he thought about how to perform better every day and make Tina happy. He never thought that anyone would live like that. He was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that in such a situation, he has to use external forces to forcibly discipline her for a period of time. Otherwise, let him live here, and we will take turns watching him.
After saying that, he was silent again. He also felt that it was unrealistic. Xin Kang was already an adult. Did he really tie him up with a rope? It was illegal detention. And they can't do anything, just look at him all day long. The key is that Xinkang seems to be sane and quiet. He has not become the kind of gambler who has completely lost his mind, and it is not appropriate to treat him like that.
Tina nodded, and a wisp of sadness flashed in her eyes. She said, "Have you heard of the drug rehabilitation center? It seems that you haven't heard of quitting gambling addiction. Moreover, those private torture centers have always been reported in the news about abuse. People are really locked in, and I'm afraid they can't help it. It's a prison. Although there are hide-and-seek, after all, it is managed by the government, but now it is becoming more and more strict.
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her words, smiled and said, "Where did I say?"
Pan Lang paused for a moment, and his handsome face was a little hesitant. His glazed eyes were a little solemn. He said seriously, "Prison? It's nothing. If I'm addicted to gambling and can't pull it over, I've been causing trouble to my family all the time. Maybe I will try to get myself in prison. I can't control myself, so I let it be disciplined for a year or two, and I will correct my problems. I will fight in prison, exercise, and learn some cultural knowledge. After I come out, I will be a hero again. It's a good deal to lose your freedom in a year or two for a decent life and go back to the right path.
Tina looked at Pan Lang talking more and more seriously, his eyes became bigger and bigger. She said with a dumb smile and said, "Come on, prison is such an easy place for you to think, and you still want to put yourself in. You want to be sentenced to one or two years. What if the judge sentenced you to ten or eight years? When you come out, your youth is gone. What's the future?
Pan Lang turned his head to look at Tina, and a ray of positive light flashed in his eyes. He said, "I don't know if the prodigal son will turn back and change the gold. There are many people who come out of the prison and live in the business world. Do you want me to give you an example?
In fact, Tina hasn't thought about letting Xin Kang enter the world's greatest reform school prison to stay for two years. First, she can no longer be harassed by usury and casino personnel in the outside world. She is not free in it. The purpose of the so-called forced strangulation has been achieved. Second, I heard from Xin Tian's mother that Xin Kang was originally a very smart and filial child. He was very good at school, because Xin Tian's father absconded overseas. That case was very noisy at that time. Xin Kang was discriminated against and bullied by teachers and classmates everywhere in the school, so his temperament has changed greatly. Today, it is the stage. If he studies hard in it, he can also make up for it.
She remembered Xin Kang's beautiful and handsome appearance, slightly shy and embarrassed eyes when she was awake, and the beautiful regular script. She secretly said that it was a pity that what Pan Lang said was not true. She smiled and said, "I don't see that you can be so cruel to yourself."
Pan Lang raised his neck and drank all the water in the mineral water bottle and said calmly, "If a man doesn't treat himself, is he waiting for others to be cruel to him?"
Tina was stunned. Pan Lang's expression was not joking at all. Unexpectedly, he looked handsome and gentle, and he hid such a patient heart.
