no longer ordinary friends

There are many such teenagers and girls in the juvenile (not) prison.

They are not extremely vicious, nor do they do many evils, but they are not good children in the traditional sense. Anyway, they did commit crimes, and most ordinary people do not commit crimes.

The prison guard said: "These children's original families have some problems. Although we can't attribute the crime to their parents, the parents are somewhat responsible. Our side attaches great importance to the education and rescue of young people. Lawyers like Zhou, She comes to our side every month to give return visits and help teach juvenile delinquents, and the children like her very much."

He continued to introduce: "We have two labor reform places here. They don't do physical work, but manual work. They basically make clothes. The rest of the time is arranged for them to study basic courses. The prison area also We have organized many activities, such as professional skills competitions and handicraft competitions, and if you perform well, you will have the opportunity to reduce your sentence."

Zhou Zhicheng and the others chatted while eating in the cafeteria. After they finished eating, the chefs came out to say hello.

The boy stood at the end of the line, and after being taught a lesson, he didn't dare to move around, and just grinned at Zhou Zhicheng.

The assistant teaching place is where juvenile offenders usually study in class. There is a long podium where everyone sits first. After listening to the prison guards' lectures, it is time for one-on-one conversations.

For the time being, there are only five people that Zhou Zhicheng helps, and three of them have already been released after serving their sentences.

One of them is the brat who wanted to set fire to himself. He was sentenced at the beginning of this year. He is 16 years old and a native of Nanri County. When he was arrested by the public security organ, he still yelled, "It is illegal to burn my house." ah?"

Zhou Zhicheng represented him in this case in the form of legal aid.

He didn't cooperate at first, and yelled that he was innocent, saying that his parents wanted him to go to jail, and rejected the lawyer's defense that his parents had hired, and he was a minor, so he had to have a lawyer to defend him, so , the Legal Aid Center assigned the case to Zhou Zhicheng.

This case is not complicated at all, and there is not much room for defense. It is impossible to plead not guilty, so we can only find ways to reduce the sentence, but he must be made to plead guilty, at least correct his attitude during the trial.

The brat didn't cooperate, and Zhou Zhicheng met with him several times, but there was no progress.

Seeing her rushing around like this, He Yanming felt distressed and speechless: "A legal aid case is only so much money, and people are not willing to cooperate, so you just go through the case according to legal procedures. You have fulfilled your responsibility as a lawyer. It's okay, sister, lawyers have to eat, and the time you waste on this is enough for you to do many more cases."

What He Yanming said was not unreasonable. Last time, that brat questioned her whether she had cheated a lot of money from the government, so she kept trying to defend him. He told her not to pretend to be a kind barrister in front of him.

Except for some lawyers who lack sources of cases and are happy to do legal aid cases with little money, most lawyers are actually not willing to do it. Lawyers are only a profession, and they cannot impose too much halo on this profession. For a case with little money but a lot of work and little room for defense, many lawyers usually meet with each other and defend once, and the case is over.

And Zhou Zhicheng has already run back and forth like this several times.

He Yanming sighed: "Your grandpa and grandma gave you enough money and a garage, so you don't have to worry about food and drink."

When He Kailun heard this, he chased his son and said, "You don't have any legal ideals, it's unjust, so why blame me for not buying you a house or a car?"

Zhou Zhicheng was not so obsessed with it, it was just because Zheng Xuyang's grandma found Cai Mei, Cai Mei asked her to help Zheng Xuyang, saying that he was only a 16-year-old child, although he set fire, he quickly called the fire alarm to put it out , without serious consequences.

The last time she went to the meeting, she could only tell him: "The establishment of the crime of arson does not depend on the result. If you burn things in your house, you also pose a threat to the personal safety of the neighbors. You have committed a crime, even if you do not cause serious damage. As a result, you will still be sentenced to three to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment. This is your life, and whoever you get angry with regrets only you and your grandma. How old will she be in ten years? You are 16 years old, which is also considered It's quite big, and it's good that you are willing to go to jail to atone for your sins. Also, do you think I took the money from legal aid to bother?"

Her tone was harsh: "The fact is, no matter what the final judgment is, whether I take the trouble or not, I will get the money for every penny."

On the day of the court session, she focused on mentioning that he called the police in time, that he had surrendered himself, was a minor, and made some moderately provocative statements. Regardless of the bear, she had fulfilled her responsibility as a lawyer.Fortunately, Xiongzi finally figured it out, pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. The court finally considered all factors and only sentenced him to two years in prison.

After several months of re-education in the juvenile prison, Zheng Xuyang became more sensible. He sat opposite Zhou Zhicheng, his eyes sparkled: "Sister Zhou, I started learning how to cook last month. I can also go out when I go out in the future. As a chef, my master said that he used to work in a big hotel, and his salary was very high.”

He noticed Jiang Xianghuai and asked, "Is this the new lawyer or the new brother-in-law? He doesn't look like a new lawyer at his age. Sister Zhou, do you want Dr. He?"

Jiang Xianghuai's heart was pricked with a needle, no matter where he was, He Jinyu's shadow was everywhere.

Zheng Xuyang: "Sister Zhou, did my grandma ask you to bring me a message? I wrote a letter to my family some time ago. I wonder if they received it?"

His thinking jumped quickly: "When I finish my studies and go out, I will do it for you to get married and hold a banquet!"

Jiang Xianghuai smiled. Is the ultimate dream of a man in Nanri County to be a chef? Grandpa Zhou also wants to train him to be a second chef.

Zhou Bingcheng took a three-day break this time. When Zhou Zhicheng sent him a message, he was in the coffee shop downstairs of Jiang Li's law firm.

After he woke up yesterday, he went downstairs to wait for her. The messages he sent to her were all exclamation marks because he was blocked.

He waited for a day, and in the evening, he finally saw her come downstairs to get takeaway.

He hurriedly followed.

There was someone Jiang Li knew in this building, and she didn't like arguing in front of outsiders, so she let him in.

After entering the room, she turned coldly: "Zhou Bingcheng, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Bingcheng's voice was muffled: "That man is divorced."

"Is there any difference? You have never been married, and you are not much younger than him. After flying the plane, you have a weak body and a big belly, and you will be greasy and bald in a few years."

Zhou Bingcheng clattered and lifted his clothes, revealing his abdominal muscles: "I don't have any!"

Jiang Li ignored him, opened a takeaway for dinner, and was going to continue working later.

Zhou Bingcheng looked at her takeaway: "Do you just eat McDonald's?"

In the past few years, in fact, the two have not had much communication in private life, even he has only been to Jiang Li's apartment a few times, and they met in the hotel most of the time.

Jiang Li still ignored him.

Zhou Bingcheng: "I haven't eaten yet."

"You can go back and order takeaway."

Jiang Li has a little paranoia about McDonald's. When she can't think of what to eat, she will order McDonald's. When she is very sad or very happy, she will also order McDonald's.

But a long time ago, not only did she never eat McDonald's, she didn't even deserve to eat that Wallace in the county.

Once in junior high school, her mother bought Wallace's big meal for her brother, and she was afraid that she and her sister would not eat it, regardless of whether it was her birthday that day.

That evening, Zhou Zhicheng and Zhou's family had just returned from playing in the city, and they called her out to play at her door.

Zhou Zhicheng brought Zhou Bingcheng over to celebrate her birthday.

Chengcheng explained sullenly: "Grandma heard that I was going to the beach, so she didn't feel at ease. If you insist on letting Zhou Bingcheng follow me, just pretend he doesn't exist."

Zhou Bingcheng also suppressed his anger: "You think I'm here to take care of you?"

"It's not here to take care of me, it's here to set off fireworks, okay?"

When the three of them arrived at the beach, orange rays of light covered the sea surface, sparkling and eerily beautiful, like an illusory dream, she would feel that that day was not real when she thought about it now.

There are many fishermen who have just returned from the sea on the beach, and there are also some people who take a walk after dinner.

Zhou Zhicheng took out a piece of beach cloth and asked Zhou Bingcheng to pour out all the snacks he brought: "Li Li, this year's birthday is the same as in previous years, and we can only treat you to snacks from Grandma's shop, but today we It was fun with small fireworks and bombs.”

"There's one more!" She suddenly remembered, proudly claiming credit, "I went to the city today and bought it for you with my pocket money!"

"Your pocket money? I paid for it." Zhou Bingcheng sneered, "Besides, just a hamburger is your treasure? I told you, it will be cold when you bring it back, how can Jiang Li eat it?"

Zhou Zhicheng was furious and furious: "What are there only hamburgers and french fries with ketchup!"

"Oh, French fries that are as hard as chopsticks." Zhou Bingcheng said lightly.

Zhou Zhicheng ignored him, held a hamburger and fries, and looked at her good friend sincerely: "Because we don't have any in the county, I want to bring it back for you to eat. Although it is cold, if you don't like it, we will bring you some food." Go back and reheat it, it will definitely be edible... Why are you crying, if you don't want to eat, we won't eat it, I'm sorry, I didn't force you to eat it, Li Li, don't cry..."

She was so flustered that she didn't know why Jiang Li was crying.

Jiang Li's tears were unbearable, and the tears fell uncontrollably. When she opened her mouth, she was choked up, so she simply hugged Zhou Zhicheng and kept crying, crying loudly.

Why is it McDonald's?Why, when she didn't even deserve to eat Wallace, someone brought her McDonald's.

Attorney Jiang in her twenties would say that she ate junk food and was unhealthy when she ate McDonald's. Jiang Li had never seen McDonald's when she was a child. In Nanri County at that time, it was very luxurious to take a child to the city to eat a meal at McDonald's. .

Jiang Li remembered that at that moment, Zhou Bingcheng looked like he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. He couldn't bear the ugly appearance of them hugging and crying, and he couldn't bear the strange eyes from the people around him, but the reality was that not only could he not jump into the sea, but After dark, squat on the beach and set off small fireworks for them.

Jiang Li didn't really remember what the fireworks looked like, but she remembered that the fireworks illuminated his deep and handsome face, his gentle smile, and the sea breeze blew up the hem of the boy's school uniform.

The men's school uniform of No. [-] Middle School is a gray and steady Chinese tunic suit. How did he manage to wear it with a loose and ruffian air?

After Zhou Bingcheng finished setting off the fireworks, he walked towards them.

Zhou Zhicheng stood up, slapped her brother's school trousers pockets with pride, and said, "There's still a cannon in here."

Zhou Bingcheng had no time to stop it, and then they heard a "cracking" sound, and his trouser pocket was blown up by the falling cannon, making holes one after another.

That birthday was really special, Jiang Li couldn't believe how lucky she was to meet Chengcheng, um, two Chengchengs.

She cherished the extra packet of tomato sauce and took it home.

But her younger brother saw it the next day, and first reported to her mother that the second sister stole his ketchup, and then found out that it wasn't Wallace's ketchup, and her mother scolded her for eating alone, being selfish and greedy, eating delicious food, I don't know Bring it back and share it with your sister and brother.
