The son's girlfriend

  In the community clinic, Liu Ziguang's father was half-reclining on a simple hospital bed. Next to him was a thermos bottle with porridge sent by his wife, and a plastic bag containing steamed buns and pickled vegetables. His son had been put in prison, and as his father, he couldn't eat either, constantly sighing.

  It's time for the injection again, and the nurse brought in a drip bottle to help the old man with the injection. However, due to the poor condition of the old man's blood vessels, this young female nurse from the medical school was sweating profusely, having failed to succeed even after several attempts at injecting the needle.

  Suddenly, the door of the clinic was pushed open and a girl wearing sneakers, jeans and a white shirt walked in, her ponytail swishing back and forth, exuding a youthful aura.

  The horse's tail saw the nurse anxious and red-faced, stepped forward and took over the needle: "Let me."

  The nurse was in such a hurry that she actually handed the syringe over to the horse's tail.

  Ma Wei untied the rubber band tied to Lao Ye's arm, gently patting it, and soon the blood vessels appeared. She quickly tied up the bandage, gave an injection, and it was done.

  The nurse next to her was stunned, staring at the beautiful face of Ma Wei Ba, and suddenly exclaimed: "I know you, you are our school's skills competition champion, Fang Fei sister."

  The horse's tail sweetly smiled: "Mm-hmm, it's me, which generation are you from?"

  The nurse excitedly grabbed her hand: "Wow, senior sister, I'm two years younger than you, I really admire you, I didn't expect to meet you here, by the way, what brings you here?"

  Fang Fei smiled: "Come and see."

  Turning around and facing Liu's father on the bed, "Old man, do you still recognize me?"

  Although Dad is older, his memory isn't bad. He pointed at Fang Fei and said: "Aren't you a nurse in the emergency department of the municipal hospital?"

  Fang Wei picked up the plastic bag, put a bunch of bananas and a bag of red Fuji apples on the bedside table, and smiled: "Grandpa, you have a good memory, my name is Fang Wei."

  Liu's father was a bit bewildered and suspiciously asked: "What is this..."

  Fang Fei's face turned red as she said, "Sir, I'm a friend of Liu Ziguang. I heard you're ill and came to see how you're doing. Is there anything I can help with?"

  "Oh dear, thank you so much, I'm afraid I've put you to trouble, it's really embarrassing." Dad hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

  "Old Liu, who is this?" A voice came from outside, it was Liu's mother.

  "She's Xiaoguang's girlfriend, a nurse at the municipal hospital." There was an inexplicable delight in Father's voice, and he arbitrarily added a crucial "girl" to the front of Fang Xi's "friend", which completely changed the nature of things.

  Old mother heard this and quickly put down things to run over, her memory was not bad either, at a glance she recognized Fang Fei: "Isn't this little Fang from the emergency department?"

  Fang Fei stood up straight and said: "Hello, Auntie."

  "Alright, alright, sit down quickly, you old man, not even knowing to pour tea for others." Mother scolded Father while picking up the thermos to pour water for Fang Fei, but on the table there was only one tin bottle that Father used to drink water from. Was she supposed to let their guest use this?

  Luckily Fang Fei came to her rescue in time, she took out a bottle of Wahaha mineral water from her backpack and said: "Auntie, don't bother, I brought my own water."

  Mom finally put down the water bottle and saw the steamed buns and salted vegetables on the table, quickly swept them into the drawer, picked up an apple and said: "Xiao Fang, eat an apple."

  "Ah, thank you, Auntie." Fang Fei took the apple and pulled out a small, sleek surgical knife from her bag. She quickly began to peel the apple with swift movements, the skin coming off in one continuous strip, evenly thick and without any breaks in the middle.

  Soon after peeling an apple, Fang Wei handed it over to Liu's father: "Grandpa, have an apple."

  "Girl, you eat, I don't have a good mouth of teeth." Old dad smiled and declined.

  His mother nudged him from behind, and his father hastily changed his tone: "Oh, thank you, thank you," as he took the apple.

  Fang Fei picked up an apple and peeled it: "Auntie, this apple is for you."

  Mom smiled and asked: "Xiao Fang, when did you and our Xiao Guang start?"

  Fang Fei's face turned red again, her skin was very fair, and two red flushes flew up, especially obvious.

  "Uh, actually......that......"

  It's embarrassing to see other people's daughters, this time it's Dad's turn to pinch Mom hard from behind.

  "Cough, cough, eat an apple." Mom called out.

  Three apples, one person each, silently eating without speaking, each with their own thoughts.

  "Xiao Fang, do you know about Xiao Guang's situation? Actually... he is a kind-hearted child and would never do anything that goes against heaven and reason." Mom finally stuttered out.

  She was delighted because her son had found such a beautiful, quiet and polite girlfriend, who was also an official worker at the Municipal Hospital.

  She is worried because her son was caught and the case is complicated, don't know how many years will be sentenced, in this way, girlfriend must blow out the lights.

  But this is also a fact, you can't let someone's daughter wait foolishly for a labor reform prisoner, such a good girl, wherever she goes, people are scrambling to want her, would it ruin the happiness of others for the sake of one's own son?

  Fang Fei pursed her lips and said, "I came here just for this matter. Now the online public opinion is all in favor of Liu Ziguang. He didn't kill anyone at all! He's a hero! An unadulterated hero! You two elders can rest assured, believe in the power of public opinion, the power of justice, and the power of 500 million netizens. It won't take long before Liu Ziguang will come out."

  As she said this, Fang Fei raised her fist and waved it in the air, as if demonstrating the mighty power of 500 million netizens. Her pale face had slightly dark circles under her eyes, a result of staying up all night to post online...

  Upon hearing this, Dad and Mom exchanged a glance, tears streaming down their faces.

  ……

  In fact, the power of netizens will only have a backlash effect. The Jiangbei Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and the entire political and legal department are furious and determined to make this case ironclad. The public security organs also locked in on several people who were shouting slogans for Liu Ziguang online with extremely violent language, ready to be arrested across provinces at any time.

  Just as the procuratorate was about to file a lawsuit, a call came from the municipal party committee's secretariat, and everything calmed down.

  Due to insufficient evidence, the procuratorate did not prosecute Liu Ziguang, and the public security department also had no objection. The suspect Liu Ziguang can be released immediately.

  ……

  Taolin Detention Center, violent cell, everyone is happy as if they are marrying a daughter-in-law, or rather, the sister-in-law type, because the big evil spirit, the prison tyrant Liu Ziguang is finally leaving.

  Liu Ziguang wore a genuine Adidas tracksuit, Nike shoes on his feet, and a pack of soft-packaged Zhonghua cigarettes in his mouth as he carried his luggage out of the Taolin Detention Center.

  I thought there would be a fleet of younger brothers coming to pick me up, just like in the 80s Hong Kong movies, no Rolls-Royce, Bentley or BMW, at least those three cars should have come.

  But at the entrance of the detention center, it was desolate and quiet, let alone cars, there wasn't even a stray dog.

  Feeling extremely disheartened, Liu Ziguang shouldered his bedding roll and muttered to himself: "Do I have to walk back the dozens of kilometers?"

  I was in a daze, when suddenly a car horn sounded, and a black fifth-generation Honda Accord came speeding over, drifting to a stop right in front of Liu Ziguang with a beautiful tail slide, the movement clean and smooth, without any hesitation.

  The car door opened and Ma Chao, a young worker from the auto repair shop, jumped out: "Boss, I'm here to pick you up."

  "How come it's just you alone, where are the others?" Liu Ziguo asked in surprise.

  "It's a long story, but you've had quite an eventful time since you came up the mountain."

  Liu Ziguang threw the quilt roll into the back seat and sat in the front passenger seat: "Drive, talk while walking."

  Ma Chao's driving skills are very good, so good that even Liu Ziguang has to hold the armrest on the window tightly with his hand. Liu Ziguang just treats Ma Liu as a Porsche, but this kid Ma Chao is treating the Honda Accord like an F1!

  It's still a '97 fifth-generation Accord, an old and worn-out piece of junk!

  "The whole place was smashed, eight brothers were hospitalized, with Xiaobei being the most seriously injured and still not out of danger; several security guards were fired, some returned to their hometowns, while others found new jobs. I heard that after you got into trouble, **brought people over and took away Ma Liu, there's been no news from Zhang Biao's side, it's said he ran away."

  Ma Chao drove while briefly introducing the recent events, Liu Ziguo's face turned gloomy, and the cigarette in his hand was crushed into fragments.

  "Who ruined my event?"

  "Not clear, I wasn't there at the time, maybe Xiao Bei will know when he wakes up." Ma Chao kept shifting gears, stepping on the brakes, and pulling the handbrake, this old car was flying down the road like a bullet, whoever got in its way would be eliminated, no matter if it was a BMW or a Mercedes, all would be annihilated.

  It opened so quickly, perhaps Ma Chao's heart also had a ball of anger.

  "Malley's wall, a thousand threads." Liu Ziguang couldn't help but sigh, just as he was about to let it out, there were too many people who needed to be chopped, and he had no choice but to pull out a list and deliberate carefully.

  ……

  It's already happened, and rushing won't help. Let's go home and see the old couple first, then talk about it later. Ma Chao put Liu Ziguo down at the entrance of the alley and drove away.

  Carrying his bedding roll, Liu Ziguang walked in the direction of home. From a distance, he saw his parents standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking out for him with their white hair fluttering in the wind. Liu Ziguang's nose turned sour as he hurriedly ran over: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

  "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." The two old men surrounded Liu Ziguang, sizing him up from head to toe. Prison isn't a fun place, the food is bad, sleep is bad and you get beaten by people, but looking left and right, their son seemed to have even gained some weight compared to before.

  The two elders, of course, did not know about Liu Ziguang's glorious deeds in the detention center and thought that the current situation had improved. The old mother said: "Old man, you still don't believe me, I said we should trust the government, this time Xiaoguang was rehabilitated, we must thank the government."

  Liu Ziguang hummed: "Yes, getting me in for free food and lodging for over a dozen days is something to be grateful for."

  "Dad frowned: 'What does a housewife know? Go home and eat!'"

  Back home, there were already four dishes on the dinner table, along with a bottle of wine. Liu Ziguang also noticed that the Eight Immortals' table was piled high with nutritional supplements and gifts.

  "Xiao Guang, these were all sent by your girlfriend. Look, ginseng, deer antler, bird's nest and Cordyceps sinensis, as well as top-grade Longjing tea leaves. She spent a lot of money." His mother picked up the gifts to introduce them to Liu Ziguang.

  "Girlfriend? Which girlfriend?" Liu Ziguang was full of question marks.

  "What? You don't know, it's just Nurse Fang from the emergency department of the municipal hospital. Fang Fei, when you were locked up, I had to sweep the streets and take care of your father's business, Fang Fei took care of everything. This child is really well-behaved, coming every day to deliver food, sometimes chicken noodle soup, sometimes fish ball congee, and she's so gentle and generous. Let me tell you, Xiaoguang, if you dare to mistreat her, your mother will disown you as a son."

  His mother's words left Liu Ziguang even more bewildered: "Fang Fei, when did she become my girlfriend?"

  Mom suddenly panicked and asked Dad: "Old man, did you hear clearly? Did Xiaofang say that she is our little Guang's girlfriend?"

  "Dad fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until half a day later that he said, 'It seems like they were talking about the two words "friends".'"

  The old mother sat down on the chair: "It's all over, such a good daughter-in-law has run away."

  After sitting for a while, he suddenly became excited again: "No, if it's not interesting to our Xiaoguang, why is he so enthusiastic about taking care of you? You say, isn't that the reason?"

  "Dad nodded: 'Makes sense, but can't be certain yet, still need to ask their kid.'"

  Seeing how much his parents cared, Liu Ziguang said, "Alright, alright, since you like her so much, I'll invite her to dinner and ask her clearly later."

  The parents were finally at ease, and the whole family sat down to eat. After a while, Old Mom thought of something important again, put down her chopsticks and asked: "Xiao Guang, do you know what Fang Ni's family does?"

  "It seems like her father is the director of the municipal hospital."

  "It's all over, it's definitely not going to work out." Mom pushed the rice bowl away, losing her appetite: "Our family is in such a bad situation, your dad and I were both laid off, just working as security guards or street sweepers. Your job isn't good either, how can they look up to you? Alas, it's fate... what a great daughter..." As she spoke, Mom's eyes actually turned red.

  Dad didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and drank heavily.

  Liu Ziguang let out a sigh and put down his bowl, saying: "Mom, don't worry, as long as you approve of her, even if she's the daughter of the King of Heaven, I'll still marry her!"

  Regarding the update issue, please forgive me. Currently, I'm in training at Luoyang Institute, getting up at 7 am every day and discussing until 10 pm, feeling extremely exhausted to the point of collapse, really can't keep going on, but definitely won't stop updating.
