Niu Xiaoqiang stopped in Qingjiang for a while, had lunch with Zhou Hongbao, got the passport entrusted to Zhou Hongbao, and left another 5,000 US dollars in Zhou Hongbao's hands, and then he boarded a passenger ferry to the provincial capital.

The $5,000 was prepared for Liu Xue, and Zhang Guangmao called Niu Xiaoqiang for help two days ago. Niu Xiaoqiang discussed with Zhang Guangmao, and finally agreed to store the money here with Zhou Hongbao first, and then let Liu Hui come over to get it.

As for the repayment of the money, Zhang Guangmao said that it would be as soon as possible. Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said that he was not in a hurry, he would pay it back if he had money, and forget it if he didn't have money.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't say this casually, but said it sincerely. Although 5,000 US dollars is a lot, as long as Zhang Guangmao casually adds some orders to the Asian Machinery Factory, Niu Xiaoqiang can earn dozens of times more money than this. Niu Xiaoqiang is not stupid, so he will naturally not be stingy with a mere five thousand dollars.

Because the transportation is not very convenient, Niu Xiaoqiang arrived in the provincial capital in the evening. He stayed overnight in the provincial capital, during which time he met with Fan Demin and had a dinner.

Fan Demin can be regarded as Niu Xiaoqiang's friend, and it is impossible for Niu Xiaoqiang not to say hello to him before studying abroad.

While having dinner with Fan Demin, Niu Xiaoqiang made a request. He asked Fan Demin to help arrange it so that he could visit Niu Xiaogang in prison before leaving the country.

This was just a small matter for Fan Demin, and he agreed on the spot.

The next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang met Niu Xiaogang in the provincial prison. Because of Fan der Min's care, the two did not meet in the interview room, but in the prison office.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Niu Xiaogang looks a little thinner, but his spirit is very good, Niu Xiaoqiang sees a momentum from him.

The relationship between the two brothers was very bad before, and with Niu Xiaogang's imprisonment, the situation between the two has undergone a fundamental reversal, and the relationship is much closer than before.

Now that they meet again, Niu Xiaogang's face is no longer embarrassed, he smiled and asked softly: "Little brother, why do you have time to visit me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang handed over the two Ashima he bought, and took out five hundred yuan and stuffed them to Niu Xiaogang.

Seeing this, Niu Xiaogang hurriedly excused himself: "It's enough to send two cigarettes, why do you give so much money? The money my parents gave me hasn't been used up yet." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's expression seemed very calm: "Brother, I'm going abroad." ”

Niu Xiaogang froze instantly when he heard this, and looked at Niu Xiaoqiang like a clay sculpture.

Niu Xiaoqiang continued: "I went to study abroad. ”

Niu Xiaogang continued to be stunned for a while, and then spoke: "Congratulations, you have all studied abroad......

Niu Xiaogang was a little lost, he was not jealous of Niu Xiaoqiang, but a little emotional.

I think how high-spirited I was back then, I was the object of everyone's praise at that time, and now I look at it, but I am in prison and has become a prisoner, compared with my younger brother, I am really far behind.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Don't think about it, accept the transformation well, when you come out, I will also finish my studies, and the two of us brothers will definitely be able to create a great career by working together." ”

Niu Xiaogang nodded vigorously: "Well, I must transform it well, little brother, everything is arranged at home, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was very relieved to hear this, Niu Xiaogang is changing in a good direction, which is a great thing for the entire old Niu family.

"It's all arranged, you don't have to worry, in addition, I have also made arrangements on Chen Fang's side, you can rest assured. ”

Since the great changes in her family, Chen Fang has changed from a not very sensible girl to a strong woman. Her relatives no longer have contact with her, and she now works while helping her sister-in-law with the children, waiting for her family members to be released from prison.

Chen Fang is still very persistent about Niu Xiaogang, and clearly expressed her willingness to wait for Niu Xiaogang to be released from prison and then marry him. Therefore, Niu Xiaoqiang's family did not treat her as an outsider at all, and Sun Mei would take time to visit her in the city every month.

"That's good, thank you. ”

"We're a family, thank you, brother, if you want to reduce your sentence, I have an idea. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang originally didn't want to say anything about the commutation, but when he saw Niu Xiaogang's performance, he felt that it was not so appropriate to let Niu Xiaogang serve all his sentences. Niu Xiaogang's change is very obvious, and there is no need for him to waste his youth excessively in prison.

Niu Xiaogang asked expectantly, "What's the idea?"

"You can try to do technical research, and I'll say hello to you here at the prison, and as long as you can develop a technology that has practical value, the prison will reduce your sentence. ”

"Well, this is indeed a good idea, and I will definitely work it. ”

Several children of the old Niu family have very smart heads, and Niu Xiaogang still has a great hope of success if he studies it carefully.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Then I wish you early success!"

Niu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his right hand and clasped it with Niu Xiaoqiang: "Little brother, I also wish you a smooth journey!"

The two brothers had never been so close as they were now, and both of them felt so happy that they looked at each other and let out a hearty laugh at the same time.

Niu Xiaoqiang still has to catch a plane, so he doesn't have much time to chat with Niu Xiaogang. The two chatted for about ten minutes, and Niu Xiaoqiang stood up with a regretful face: "Brother, I still have to catch a plane, so I won't talk much, I will return to China for the Spring Festival at the end of the year, and then our brothers will have a good chat." ”

Niu Xiaogang nodded very understandingly: "Well, hurry up, don't delay the big thing." ”

The two brothers waved goodbye, Niu Xiaoqiang got into Fan Demin's car after coming out, and went straight to the provincial airport.

Fan Demin arranged a total of two cars, one for him and Niu Xiaoqiang and Watson, and one for two staff members of the Ministry of Education.

After sending Niu Xiaoqiang to the airport, Fan Demin patted Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulder with some emotion: "Xiaoqiang, since I met you, my uncle really realized what it means to be powerful, if you say more, my uncle won't say it, my uncle wishes you a smooth journey." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded: "Thank you Uncle Fan for your blessings, if your child also wants to study abroad in the future, you can ask me for help, I promise to help you arrange it." ”

This is the third favor that Niu Xiaoqiang sold with the study abroad index, and the first two were all sold to Zhang Guangmao. Compared with money and goods, the index of studying abroad is undoubtedly more special in this era.

Fan Demin is equivalent to one of Niu Xiaoqiang's backers, and it is also equivalent to Niu Xiaoqiang's New Year's friend, Niu Xiaoqiang feels that it is completely appropriate to give him this expensive gift.

Fan Demin didn't expect to receive such a big gift, he naturally wouldn't doubt Niu Xiaoqiang's words, and couldn't help laughing when he was excited: "This feeling is good! Uncle thank you! When you return to China, we must have two drinks!"
