Lawyer's character

At noon on Friday, after having lunch in the restaurant downstairs, Cao Xiaohui was about to lie on the sofa in the office and relax for a while when she suddenly received a call from Fang Yi. Fang Yi discussed with her about taking Fang Anzhi out to relax on the weekends. Junior high school studies are quite stressful, and the bowstring is easy to break if it is too tight.

When she thought about working overtime on weekends, Cao Xiaohui agreed to Fang Yi's request.

Apart from eating and drinking, the city is all about consumption and there is nothing interesting. After discussing with his son, Fang Yi finally decided to go back to the village to stay for two days and relax.

Back then, the Fang family was poor and could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year. A pot of big white radish was stewed with more than a dozen fat meat slices on it. It smelled like meat, but when you put your chopsticks into the pot, you would always pick out white radish slices.

Later, life got better and he could eat meat every month, but for Fang Youcai, stewing a pot of braised pork was always the best way to love his grandson.

But for Fang Anzhi, what he craves at this time of year is not his grandpa’s braised pork, but the frozen persimmons that his grandpa picked from the mountains in late autumn and placed them at the base of the south wall of his yard, where they were naturally frozen.

The persimmons grown in the mountains in the village are lantern persimmons, not the flat, large-capped persimmons that are common in the north. It is said that Jin Province uses this kind of lantern persimmon to make persimmon cakes. It is sweet and delicious.

In order to save time on the road, Fang Yi borrowed a car from Li Shuming. When the father and son returned to the village, Fang Youcai was wrapped in a down jacket and sitting on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, basking in the sun and smoking a cigarette. He glanced towards the entrance of the village.

It wasn't until the car stopped in front of his house that Fang Youcai realized that his son and grandson were back.

After lunch, Fang Anzhi couldn't wait to run out of the house, went to the south wall of the yard and lifted up the plastic sheet, put four red persimmons that were as frozen as rocks into a pot, then covered them with the plastic sheet and shrank. Neck, holding the basin, turned around and ran into the house.

"How come this kid doesn't hear about it? I just finished eating, and if I eat frozen persimmons later, my teeth won't be able to bear it!" Fang Youcai looked at Fang Anzhi who ran into the house and blamed him with distress.

"It's okay, Grandpa, I'll eat it later. I'll get some cold water first." Fang Anzhi said with a smile.

Fang Yi glanced at the persimmons in the basin and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry about him. This persimmon is as frozen as a brick and he can't eat it."

Half an hour later, Fang Yi and Fang Anzhi, each with a small spoon, scooped out the frozen persimmons one by one around the basin. They ate for a while and stopped for a while, complaining that it was too cold. But even so, the two No one wants to stop.

Seeing the father and son eating happily, Fang Youcai also wanted to join in the fun, but his teeth were not good, so he thought about it and let it go.

The time spent wandering around in the village was the best time for Fang Anzhi. There was no supervision from his mother, no constant reminders from teachers, and no pressure to study. It was simply heaven.

Fang Yi looked at his persimmon-mouthed son and suddenly remembered his childhood. He turned to look at his father beside him: "Dad, is there still a primary school in our village?"

When Fang Yi was young, every village had a primary school. Fang Yi spent six wonderful years in the village primary school. At that time, the sky was always blue, the air was fresh, and small fish and turtles could be seen at the bottom of the river. Now...

"In recent years, all the young people in our village have gone out. Most of the villagers are elderly. There are more teachers than students in the school. As early as five years ago, the Education Committee issued a policy to merge schools. Primary schools in several nearby villages have been merged into I went to the countryside, and now the school in the village has been rented out to individuals and turned into a pig farm." Fang Youcai took the cigarette holder from his mouth and said.

Fang Yi stood up, came to the window, and looked in the direction of the school. The classrooms made of stones and slates, the blackboards plastered with cement, the pitted classroom floors, the briquettes stove that is lit in the classroom every winter, and the wood and briquettes piled in the corners are all beautiful things that will never be forgotten in his memory. time.

At some point, the song that was popular all over the country rang in his ears: on the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas were singing about summer; on the swing by the playground, only butterflies were resting on it; the teacher's chalk on the blackboard , still chattering and writing non-stop; waiting for the end of class, waiting for school to be over, waiting for the childhood of games...

The second trial of Ding Dashan's intentional injury case finally opened. In the fifth trial court of the Provincial High Court, Fang Yi glanced at Prosecutor Zhang on the opposite side of the prosecutor's seat.

The second-instance collegial panel is composed of three judges, one male and two female. The female judge sitting in the middle is in her forties, with a round face, shoulder-length hair, and a pair of glasses. She looks very professional.

After the previous procedures were completed, the presiding judge announced the start of court investigation, followed by the male judge who read out the first-instance verdict.

"Now the appellant Ding Dashan will read out the appeal or state the reasons for the appeal." said the presiding judge.

"Zhou Long was stabbed by me and died after falling to the ground. However, he climbed the wall and entered my house without my permission. I stabbed him down during self-defense. I think the sentence imposed by the court of first instance was too harsh. , request the court to change the sentence in accordance with the law." Ding Dashan said.

Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of self-defense, Ding Dashan knew that this word might save him from spending a few years in jail.

"Appellant Ding Dashan's defense lawyer issued his reasons for appeal." the presiding judge said.

"The defender believes that the appellant Ding Dashan's act of stabbing the victim Zhou Long was excessive defense and should bear criminal responsibility, but the punishment should be reduced or exempted. The specific reasons are as follows:..." Fang Yi moved the content of his previous communication with the procuratorate. come out.

"Appellant Ding Dashan, do you have any objection to the facts and charges found in the first-instance judgment?" the presiding judge asked.

"I have no objection to the charge, but I have objections to the facts and sentencing. I was in excessive defense. The court of first instance sentenced me to fifteen years in prison, which is an excessive punishment." Before the trial, Ding Dashan and Fang Yi met, and Fang Yi will The defense plan was told to him.

"The prosecutor asked the appellant questions about the facts found in the first-instance judgment," the presiding judge said.

"Okay, presiding judge. Appellant Ding Dashan, when you saw the victim Zhou Long climbing up his wall, did he have a knife in his hand?" Prosecutor Zhang asked.

"I didn't take the knife. It was around nine o'clock in the evening. I had already locked the door. I didn't think he could get into the yard. I didn't expect him to climb the wall and get close to the yard." Ding Dashan recalled.

"For what purpose did you go back to the house to get the sharp knife? The victim Zhou Long is your son-in-law. Why did you use the knife against him?" Prosecutor Zhang asked.

"My daughter is divorcing Zhou Long. Zhou Long came to my house several times to cause trouble, smashing several pieces of glass on the windows and doors and almost injuring people.

That night, he refused to listen and climbed over the wall into the hospital, then hit me with a stone. I only had my wife and my daughter's two children at home, so I was afraid that he would do something bad to us. So I went back to the house and got a sharp knife to scare him away. "Ding Dashan said.
