After Xiao's father was found to be corrupt and bribery, he was sentenced to 15 years in the first instance and was detained in this prison. Xiao's mother came to visit several times, but later because she fell ill, she was taken back by her family to recuperate, and she rarely returned to Jiangcheng since then. As for Xiao's father's previous protégés in the officialdom, as well as his relatives, he drew a line with the Xiao family for the first time and never came to visit.

Over the years, Su Su is the only one who regularly visits the prison.

Today happened to be the day of the prison visit, and Su Shu came with Xiao Shu.

"Although Dad has not had personal freedom in recent years, the prison conditions seem to be good, he is not much older, and his complexion has always been okay. It's that every time we meet, you have to ask me if you're back..."

Sitting in the car, Su Su slowly narrated.

Xiao Shu felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and did not speak.

"At that time, I heard that you became an officer, and my father was very happy, and he said a lot of things to me that day, hoping that you can do a good job in the army..."

Xiao Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Then I am discharged from the army now, and I will disappoint my father again." ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the gate of the prison.

Because there were not many people who came to visit the prison in the morning, I quickly met myself in the interview room after walking through the process.

"Xiao Xiangrong, you have family members to visit. ”

Under the escort of the prison guards, a middle-aged man wearing a prison uniform and his hair was faintly gray, appeared in front of Xiao Shu.

"Dad!" Xiao Shu couldn't help but cry.

"Xiaoshu, you're back. Xiao Xiangrong smiled, his eyes moist. He sat down across from him and asked, "Is there any smoke?"

Xiao Shu touched his body, took out a cigarette, lit it and handed it over.

"It's a good mix, it's all good smoke. Xiao Xiangrong joked with a smile.

"Dad, I remember you didn't smoke before. Xiao Shu said with red eyes.

"That was before, there were many people in the unit, and I was the leader, so smoking had a bad impact. Xiao Xiangrong spit out two white smokes with a pleasant expression, "This smoke is good, or leave it to me." ”

Although he was in prison, wearing handcuffs and prison uniforms, he sat there with his back straight, and he still had a bit of the aura of the past.

Xiao Shu was silent for a while and asked, "Dad, have you really been corrupt and bribed?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiangrong was obviously stunned, nodded and said, "At that time, I also wanted to make your life better, but I accidentally made a mistake." ”

Probably not wanting to discuss this topic, Xiao Xiangrong asked rhetorically: "Xiao Shu, how long can you stay when you come back from vacation this time?"

"I'm out of the military. Xiao Shu replied.

"What?" Xiao Xiangrong was shocked, "Why do you want to retire from the army, aren't you all an officer?"

"I made a mistake and I was kicked back. Xiao Shu touched his nose and said.

"You kid!" Xiao Xiangrong's eyes widened angrily, obviously about to fight people, and finally sighed with a smile, "It's really the same urine sex as me, forget it, you don't only have one way out to be a soldier, my son is so good, he can get ahead in other things." ”

Next, the father and son chatted a lot around the world, talking about being a soldier, talking about making money in business, and Su Su, and by the way, Xiao's mother.

But as long as Xiao Shu introduced the topic of corruption and bribery, Xiao Xiangrong changed the topic vigilantly, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

"By the way, your mother hasn't been back for a long time since she was picked up by her mother's family..."Xiao Xiangrong muttered for a long time, "It's been almost a year." ”

"Dad, it's been two years. Su Su couldn't help but remind.

"Oh, it's been two years... My memory has deteriorated, too. Xiao Xiangrong laughed twice, looked at Xiao Shu and said solemnly:

"Xiaoshu, if you have time to see your mother, she suffers no less than me. Don't look at me as a prisoner now, but I'm lucky, the warden used to be a friend of mine, and he took good care of me, and he was doing well..."

During the small talk, half an hour passed quickly, and at the urging of the prison guards, the father and son had to end the meeting.

Looking at his father's stumbling back, Xiao Shu was silent.

Su Su comforted: "Brother, what Dad said is true, although this prison is very chaotic, Dad has always been very cared for, and no one bullied him." And Dad didn't make any more mistakes, the sentence has been reduced, at most seven or eight years, and he will be able to come out. ”

"Alas. ”

Xiao Shu sighed and said, "Let's go." ”

......

"Xiao Xiangrong, let me remind you, don't talk about your relationship with our prison director in the future, if you let him know, you have to pick your skin!"

Leaving the interview room and walking down the dark corridor, the prison guard's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and his voice was very stern.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want my children to worry about me. Xiao Xiangrong was resigned, "Big brother, this cigarette is a filial piety to you." ”

I saw him shrinking back, not even daring to smoke anymore, where is the slightest bit of demeanor and courage from before?

The prison guard took away most of the pack of cigarettes, looked at Xiao Xiangrong twice, shook his head and said, "Xiao Xiangrong, I really don't understand, what kind of life are you living here, to put it bluntly, it's not even as good as a pig." But you don't tell your children that you are going to hide it all the time?"

Even this prison guard can't stand it anymore.

He has been a prison guard for more than ten years, and he is relatively familiar with Xiao Zhengrong, and he has seen with his own eyes the glory of his previous years, and how he later fell off the altar and became a prisoner.

Just now, Xiao Xiangrong said that he has been taken care of because he is friends with the prison warden, which sounds true, but in fact it is completely nonsense.

Because Xiao Xiangrong was investigated that year, he almost caused the prison warden to fall with him, so the prison warden hated Xiao Xiangrong to the core, and he had always taken a good picture, but this care was not what he said.

Cleaning toilets, confining, beating and scolding are commonplace. There was even a time when Xiao Xiangrong was forced to be locked in the same cell with a social brother, because of a little friction, he was beaten and lay down for more than a month before he could get off the ground, and then the matter was exposed and reported, the social brother was fine, but Xiao Xiangrong was charged with fighting and was locked up for more than half a month.

"I know what I'm doing. Big brother, you say, I'm a lot old, it's not a big deal to die in this prison, my children are still young, I don't want to be a burden to them. Xiao Xiangrong said with a smile.

"Okay, I don't have much to do. The prison guard lifted the belt of his trousers and said, "As long as you behave well in front of me, I promise to cooperate with you in acting." ”

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Xiao Xiangrong hurriedly bowed his head and agreed.

......

Wuling Hongguang drove on the wide road.

Xiao Shu also thought a lot while driving.

When he came back from the army this time, finding someone was only one aspect, and more importantly, he hadn't gone home for three years, and he also wanted to fulfill the responsibilities he didn't fulfill back then and take care of his parents and relatives.

The person who worries the most is his father who is in prison. Now that I have visited and seen that my father is looking good, the stone has fallen.

Originally, Xiao Shu wanted to ask whether his father had taken bribes or had any grievances, but his father obviously didn't want to say more, so he had to give up.

"Although the chief told me to find that old-timer as soon as possible, there are so many people in Jiangcheng, and the vast sea of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and this is not a matter of a day and a half. ”

"The most important thing now is that I have to find a job and repay the loan shark borrowed by Su Su first. ”

Xiao Shu finally cleared his mind.

Now that you have an idea, the next step is to find a job.

Now the information is very developed, and there is no need to run around at all, you can see it directly on the major recruitment websites.

"Brother, there is a shortage of people in the factory assembly line here, with a monthly salary of 3,000, do you want to go and have a look?"

"No, it's too low. ”

"There is a real estate company in Xincheng District that recruits salesmen, and the commission is very high, what do you think?"

"No, I can't do it. ”

"How's the taxi driver?"

"Don't do it, it's not pleasing to be tired. ”

...

The brother and sister sat in the car and searched for a long time with their mobile phones but did not find a suitable job.

Just when he was about to give up, Su Su's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Brother, look at this! This is absolutely satisfying!"

Xiao Shu took the phone and looked at it, and immediately widened his eyes.

I saw a row of eye-catching words on a recruitment website.

Luye Group recruits private drivers, requiring skilled drivers, retired soldiers are preferred, and the monthly salary is 50,000 yuan.
