Signal towers, towering steel poles, and the gray Tiexi work area will occasionally be interrupted by a piercing whistle, and the unchanging oppressive scenery is like a machine monster left behind in the post-industrial era.

Shuai Lang leaned against the window, looking out from the home where he had lived for more than ten years, his heart was full of worry, just finished eating, and his father didn't say anything when he was eating, but Shuai Lang would feel that warmth is a more advantageous weapon than anger, and if you want to be slapped a few times like before, then the decision is much easier, but this kind of parting is constantly warm, which makes him very embarrassed...... Is it difficult, but must it be done? There is a very famous saying among the older generation in the station, calling the train to stay for a generation, either osteoporosis or gastrointestinal sagging, and it is more unlucky if you are not on the train, and you can't tell whether the two are railroad tracks or human legs in the end.

That's what work? Shuai Lang asked himself, the long-awaited work should be a big office with a hundred square meters, the scenery is pleasant from afar, the sun is shining outside the window, and the secretary's smile is bright, it has to be a female secretary, right?

There is no female secretary, so she won't get into this corner? In the second half of his life, he really left this place, and Shuai Lang was a little unwilling to say anything, even if he didn't dare to disobey his father's intentions, he felt unwilling.

Knock knock knock...... Someone was beating his legs, Shuai Lang was shocked, turned around, stunned, his sister Shuai Ying held a piece of drawing paper, pouted, stared very unhappily, and was about to ask, but this little girl snatched the cigarette between Shuai Lang's fingers, and said in a command-like tone: "No smoking." ”

Well? came out more powerful than his father, Shuai Lang was amused, watching his sister Shuai Ying pinch the cigarette butt, stretched out his hand to stop him and squatted down and asked: "Yo, the little mouth is pouting, don't be angry, my brother won't smoke...... Hehe, what is the drawing, let my brother take a look. ”

"Family photo, our teacher let the ...... of the painting" The little black girl showed off in front of Shuai Lang, looking at the drawing paper, the thighs were long, and the four heads that looked like watermelons made Shuai Lang almost laugh, but he was stunned when he smiled, and faintly felt that something moved in his heart, pointing and asking: "Who is this painting?" ”

"This is Dad, this is Mom, this is Brother, this is my ......" Xiao Shuai Ying said in a milky voice, but unexpectedly, this sentence made Shuai Lang a little moved for no reason, and under excitement, he stretched out his hand: "Come on, brother hug, why is Yingzi so close?" So delicate!? …… Ha ha...... You're the smallest and smallest beauty my brother has ever held......"

Shuai Lang joked, his sister was amused and giggled, struggled a few times in Shuai Lang's arms, and then pestered Shuai Lang to play poker games, even poker games also pushed the train, and all the same numbers were recovered, and the dolls at the train station will, while playing, Shuai Lang looked at his sister from time to time, and quietly asked: "Hey Yingzi, do you care about your brother's smoking, do you care about your father?" ”

"What's the matter? It's all in my hands. "The little sister is very tugging.

"Awesome...... But Dad is also very powerful, Yingzi, has Dad beaten you? Shuai Lang asked gossipingly. My sister was stunned for a moment, but she didn't understand, and Shuai Lang learned what happened to her back then: "That's it, press you on the legs, and then chirp, chirp and beat your ass......"

"Nope." My sister shook her head, stared at her with big eyes, and said in confusion: "Dad never hits people." ”

"Did you curse?" Shuai Lang asked again.

"No, Dad never scolds." My sister shook her head again, and shook her head with a little untie, which was very cute.

This must be the truth, but the truth thundered Shuai Lang, and said bitterly: "Yingzi, you have been born to a good era, compared to you, my brother's childhood is too miserable......... Dad chirped, and when I went back to my hometown, my grandmother chirped again, and the teacher at school chirped and chirped......"

Feeling it, my sister was stunned when she heard it, and her big eyes gave her brother a sympathetic look, and she asked sympathetically: "Brother, does it hurt?" ”

"Why doesn't it hurt, it hurts so much that I can't get up from the bed." Shuai Lang said with an awe-inspiring expression, shook his head awe-inspiringly, his sister shouted Dad, Shuai Lang turned around, but he didn't know when his father was already standing at the door, pursed his mouth, the smile didn't spurt out, but his sister was asking for justice for his brother, he was picked up by his father, pulled his ears and asked in a milky voice, Dad, you beat your brother, you are not a good father...... Mom said that my brother is so pitiful when he is alone outside, is it that you beat my brother, and my brother doesn't dare to come back......... At that time, they had a hateful attitude towards this family and the mother and daughter, but unexpectedly, they also left a place for themselves in this family, a position that was insignificant, but enough to make their hearts faintly moved. The stepmother wiped her hands and coaxed her sister away, Shuai Shicai gently closed the door, put one hand on her son's shoulder wordlessly, pulled the chair for a moment, sat down diagonally opposite, and only waited for Shuai Lang's sigh to finish, and then asked softly a little unnaturally: "Are you still resentful of me?" ”

"No...... Anyway, I'm used to it, it's all in the past. Shuai Lang covered it up, but as soon as he said this, his father couldn't help it, and scolded: "You just resent, I don't think I'm wrong...... If you're as big as Yingzi, you'll smash someone's glass. I never regret that I was a little cruel to you, and what I regret most now is that I shouldn't have sent you to college, I should have let you join the army for a few years. ”

"I want to go too, it's not that the political trial is not passed." Shuai Lang said. As soon as he said this, Dad snorted and laughed angrily, and Shuai Lang also laughed.

The past is all over, don't mention it, what is going to be said today, Shuai Lang is thinking about how to speak, how to speak without embarrassing his father, for his father, who has worked hard in the police for decades, Shuai Lang knows that his father has been assimilated by the system around him, and he always wants to clone his own experience to the next generation, and never cares whether the cloned things are suitable or not.

"Dad...... That, I'm ......."

"Shut up, I'll talk about you first......"

"I mean the ......"

"I know you want to say that, you don't want to be an electrician, do you?"

"Hmmm......"

Shuai Lang suddenly found that there is no need to say it, his father already knew, and it was very suitable for his father to use his father, and every time he made a mistake, he could always be scheming by his father, which always made Shuai Lang secretly surprised, sometimes even the police in the world are as powerful as Dad, and Ya's pit is miserable to be abducted.

Shuai Shicai stared at his son, snorted a few times, smiled indifferently, and said something that surprised Shuai Lang: "Do you like to go." ”

"Really, then I'm not going." Shuai Lang went down the donkey road.

"Whatever, anyway, the indicators of taking care of the children are thrown away...... You went in during this time, I inquired carefully, and found that you did a good job in the scenic spot. Dad asked.

"So-so." Shuai Lang said.

"That business may not last long, what if you can snatch it back, and one day someone will rob it again?" Shuai Shicai cared.

As soon as he cared, Shuai Lang was stunned for a moment, knowing that there were some things that he might not be able to hide from his father, so he thought about it and replied: "It is precisely because I am afraid that others will snatch it away, so I stand firmer than others." ”

"Tell me, what's the prison law?" Shuai Shicai seems to be interested.

"When I went to see it, I found that the scenic spot was a plate of loose sand, each with its own piece, very messy, and then I thought about it and reorganized and distributed this interest...... Whether you stand firm or not does not depend on whether you do well, but whether you share the benefits well. For the first time, Shuai Lang spoke to his father with an equal attitude, and when he said this, he looked at his father's face and was not gloomy, and then said: "My distribution, part of the police station, part of the leadership of the management committee, part of the industrial and commercial office, part of the tax office, and part of the village cadres are also indispensable......... Although it seems to be less on the surface, but in that place to stand firmly, it is a bit out of the ordinary, they will also wrap for me, now the two main markets of beverages and handicrafts seem to be my monopoly on the surface, in fact, I have that ability, or in the hands of the management of the scenic spot monopoly, there are people who want to break this monopoly, then he first has to bear half of the profits of the diversion, or even higher, in this way, he can't get in, he can't afford to know the small company, and he can't do it in a large company, so, I don't think it's that easy to ...... In the next step, I will think of other scenic spots or places like scenic spots, and expand my business a little more......"

Shuai Lang talked eloquently, this secret is rarely mentioned, although everyone understands, but there are very few people who really do it, in fact, Shuai Lang is also distressed about the profits that are shunted out every month, but what to say, there is no way, you don't let people put it in your pocket, you can't earn it yourself, you have been fighting in society for so long, you haven't learned badly, you have basically learned to be good, Shuai Lang belongs to both.

After finishing speaking, looking at his father's expression, Shuai Lang was actually trying to convince his father with this beautiful prospect, but he was worried that his father was very unimpressed with his own actions, so he looked at it silently, his father's dark face, when he didn't smile, he always looked so serious, and when he saw that his father was still serious, Shuai Lang secretly said in his heart, I'm afraid it's not so easy to talk about.

Unexpectedly, the father sighed as if relieved, as if he had put down a heavy burden, and his seriousness gradually became kind, and then he smiled and said, "Live out...... You are happy to understand, better than your dad, dad only knows how to pout your ass and work hard when you are so old. ”

Well? Unexpectedly, I've never seen my dad say such decadent things, right...... Could it be that people's old mentality has changed? That's right, it must have changed, seeing that my sister can pull my father's ears and snatch the cigarette in his hand, it must have changed, Shuai Lang pondered, and slowly a smile appeared on his face, and the knot in his heart suddenly couldn't be unsolved.

"Yes, I really didn't expect the little finch to fly so high in the blink of an eye...... But Shuai Lang, have you thought about it, just your broken business, in our system, it is not big, this is not an era of free competition, I will simply give you a problem, what do you think? You are a business that relies on connections, and I will also give you problems from your connections, for example, if the immediate family of the director of the management committee wants to do your business, you will have to get out of the game; For another example, if a relative of a police station or an industrial and commercial tax office wants to do this business, you also have to scratch your head and be embarrassed; For another example, someone directly pressed down with a very iron network from top to bottom, and you still got out of the game, how about it, is what Dad said right? It is possible to fight for financial resources, connections, and dad in today's business, but you don't have the ability. Shuai Shicai said to his son with a smile.

Shuai Lang was moved for a while, gave a thumbs up, and gave his father a direct answer, he always knew that his father's vision was very accurate, but he didn't expect it to be accurate to this extent in this regard, awe-inspiring, and sighed: "Drag!" Dad, you really have a good eye, that's right, that's it. The reason for grabbing Feipeng's beverage business was because they were careless, thinking that their brand was awesome and didn't take other people's places seriously, so I took advantage of the loophole. ”

"Therefore, people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, and they must leave a way back for themselves in everything." Shuai Shicai said earnestly.

"When the trouble comes, I'll almost be able to make enough money, so let's just make some calculations. I didn't think much of it either. "Shuai Lang said, I heard what my father meant, let me stay behind, what is the back road, electrician!? Seeing his father's mysterious expression, Shuai Lang persuaded back: "Dad, I know what you mean, you won't force me to be an electrician, right?" Do you know what your son's last name is? ”

"Huh...... Of course I know, so I don't have to force it, and I don't have to force it now. Shuai Shicai smiled, supported his elbow with his hand, approached his son a few inches, and said to his son in a very mysterious tone: "Boy, you are still a little bit of a life to fully understand, Dad will pull out your stubborn stone today, the choice is in you, I will never interfere, and I agree with both hands on your choice." ”

"Wow, Dad, you're so handsome, how did I find out?" Shuai Lang was also happy, supporting his elbows, in the same posture as his father, the father and son got together, and they heard Shuai Shicai pull his fingers and say: "Do you know the meaning of work?" Dad has decades of work experience, there are three kinds, you listen to ......"

"First, work can be interpreted as: sitting idlely, meritorious, meaning sitting idle, meritorious." Shuai Shicai gave a layer of meaning, and his son's eyes lit up, and he faintly understood what he meant.

"The second type." Shuai Shicai said with a smile: "Work is the work of work, and work is the work of wages, which means exchanging work for wages." ”

No matter how bright the handsome eyes are, this is another level.

"The third. Work is the opposite, work, this is the highest form of dedication, selfless dedication. Shuai Shicai smiled.

Shuai Lang sighed, understood, for the first time, he found that his father would speak so narrowly, and he said it much more incisively than he knew, smiled, the father and son had a heart, Shuai Lang whispered: "Dad, I understand, you mean to let me be a mao, just receive a salary and not work, right?" Then of course I don't mind, hey, by the way, how did I forget this stubble, there is such a big hole in our father-in-law's rice bowl, don't you drill for nothing? ”

"Then it's up to you...... Then, make up your own mind, report to the human resources department in the afternoon, and assign you an internship unit, this time there are more than 20 internship units, no matter how you prepare, Dad will support you. Shuai Shicai took a piece of information, handed it to his son, it was ready, Shuai Lang flipped through it, more than ten units of machine repair factory, wheel factory, substation, and signal station are all small units under the Railway Bureau, and when he saw the name and location of the unit, he quickly touched his mobile phone, found the corresponding place, and looked at it, and pointed to a place name called Eleven Bay Substation and said: "Here, Dad, I went here for an internship, which is 37 kilometers away from Zhongzhou City, not far from Huayuankou Scenic Area, just go to that place to do some business...... I'll go back and ask who is the stationmaster, so I don't know if it's okay to take a long-term sick leave first? ”

Oh, Shuai Shicai didn't expect his son's attitude to change so quickly, and the high level of comprehension is indeed rare, and immediately said that the wind is the rain, and said in embarrassment: "Son, the railway bureau is not opened by our family, you can go wherever you want?" You have to learn to adapt to this situation, and besides, in the unit, it doesn't matter if you steal and play tricks, but you can't be too disobedient, you don't want to go in for a few days and then let you get fired, if you want to do that, you don't go at all...... By the way, that classmate of yours is in the human resources department, why don't you ask your father? ”

"Who?"

"Xue Xiaoyi."

"Oh, I remember, the invigilator of our exam. If it were her, things would be better, and I would go wherever I wanted. ”

"If you blow it, other girls won't want to see you, and they will disturb people when you go to high school...... It's good not to retaliate against you. ”

"Dad, you want to bet with me, make sure you lose, then I'll ...... go"

"Hi, wait......"

Shuai Lang hurriedly said a few words, but unexpectedly, his father's face became serious again, and he stopped his son who was not in a hurry to leave, and when he stopped, he became more serious, and went straight to another topic, and asked with a tiger face: "What is the matter about you being isolated by the project this time, you tell your father clearly...... It's okay, let's pay attention next time, if there's something, let's find a way together......"

Shuai Lang was stunned for a long time, looking at his father who was so informed today, then he sat down and explained it carefully......................................................................................................... Coming out of the house, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, smoking more than half a box of cigarettes, making tea two or three times, and finally explained this huge experience, Dad's surprise, and his son compared what he knew, so that Shuai Lang's understanding was deeper, and in the end, except for the money he was carrying and the suspect who covered it up, he told his dad everything, and Dad carefully taught him what needs to be paid attention to.

Dad said: A person who takes crime as a profession, surnamed Gerry is somewhat paranoid, if it is something that he is determined to obtain, he will still find you, and he will do whatever it takes.

After all, it was involved in the gun case, Shuai Lang said that he was indeed a little afraid, his father said: If you want to be afraid, you will lose a chip, there is no solution to be afraid of solving, if you want to come, you are afraid or not, he will come.

This coincides with Shuai Lang's thoughts, and he knows a little bit about the telecom fraud case here from his father, and Shuai Lang found out that his father knows more about Jiang Xiangpai than he does, and even analyzes Duanmu Jieping's surname, first of all, he is a poor person, and secondly, because of pity and predicament, he has become a paranoid person, and secondly, this paranoia will induce a way of behavior that must be repaid in his bones, that is to say, Dad judged that Duanmu would return to Zhongzhou, but it was just for solving old grievances or solving new hatreds, To come back, at least the auction will be cheated, as a successful and paranoid liar, he can't tolerate his professional level being trampled on in this way...... So my dad said: Be careful, what's the matter with the family, dad is just a bastard like you, you won't kill your relatives in righteousness, right!?

Shuai Lang was very moved, came out of the house, his father sent him down the stairs, and looked at his father's somewhat rickety figure for no reason, and the feeling did not disappear for a long time, yes, my father took his work as a job, and did it for decades, and now he has an epiphany, and he is no longer obsessed with forcing his son to study hard, make progress every day, serve the motherland, and serve the people.

When I thought of this, the bus stopped not far from the Fourth Iron Bureau, and I just saw the slogan on the fence of the bureau, with red letters on a white background: dedication, hard work, efficiency, and integrity......... A few very impactful words made Shuai Lang, who got out of the car, stop, and sneered: Why is there nothing to do with me? When I was a child, there was a well-known slogan around the railway, which was called: If you want to get rich, steal the railway.

Shuai Lang remembered this inexplicably, smiled to himself and walked to the gate, entered the door, said hello to the conveyance, took the completed registration form and followed the confession of the gatehouse, and went straight to the sixth floor of the office building of the White Building.

On the sixth floor, six zero two, marked the office of the Human Resources Department, Shuai Lang looked at the report again, remembering that he saw the former dream lover during the invigilation, I don't know if I can meet it, if she wants to take care of this matter, maybe she can really make her wish come true. Do you want to give a gift? That's not necessary, for Shuai Lang, some things are positive, negative, crooked and evil, and almost everything can be done. After thinking clearly, he knocked lightly on the door, and entered in response, Shuai Lang glanced at it, happy, it was really a coincidence, Xue Xiaoyi was alone, and immediately made Shuai Lang smile.

The girl didn't smile, as if she saw Shuai Lang, as if she didn't see it at all, and said unceremoniously: "What time is it?" ”

"September 30th." Shuai Lang said.

"I know that tomorrow is the National Day, so I only came this afternoon? How many days did the list come out? Xue Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, Shuai Lang hurriedly handed over the form, with a smiling face, but unexpectedly, Xue Xiaoyi took Shuai Lang's crooked words, grinned, stimulated, and scratched his sentence: "I won't fill in the form well, who knows it." ”

"Just be able to use an electric pen, and there are requirements for fountain pen words?" Shuai Lang rolled his eyes and was disdainful, Xue Xiaoyi checked the form, Shuai Lang came up, changed his smile and said, "Hey Xiaoyi, will you open a back door?" ”

"Want to pick a good place to intern?" Xue Xiaoyi didn't raise his head and said.

"Yo, we're really heart-to-heart, I have an idea, you can guess it at once, for the sake of our old relationship, you have to help with this little favor, right?!" Shuai Lang said unashamedly.

"Heart-to-heart? Old? What's the situation? Xue Xiaoyi was stimulated all of a sudden, and raised her eyes to look at Shuai Lang.

"Classmate love." Shuai Lang smiled and blocked it, and the reaction came out, this girl glanced at Shuai Lang, I don't know if it was an old grudge against being dragged on a bicycle, pulling a schoolbag, pulling a skirt, anyway, it was very unkind to Shuai Lang, but Shuai Lang was afraid that this girl didn't understand his own thoughts, as if he confessed: "Just a little favor, it's okay there, don't put me in the Elevenbay substation, that place is too far away from the city, dozens of kilometers, it's not easy to go back, besides, I heard that the conditions there are very difficult, we don't work secondary, we can't suffer that crime...... ”

"That's not something you can pick and choose, it's all in the city, who will go to the suburbs? Cut..."Xue Xiaoyi has another hygienic eye, and he can't be accommodating if he dares to be affectionate. Shuai Lang was only afraid that this girl's heart was not so firm, and he added weights: "Help, Xiaoyi, I was your admirer before, and I wrote several love letters." ”

"You're embarrassed to say that you can't even make up one after removing typos, so you haven't grown at all now." Xue Xiaoyi said with the form filled out by Shuai Lang.

"Although the level is not high, it can't stop my passion to express my admiration for you...... By the way, Xiaoyi, do you have a partner? Shuai Lang gossiped.

"Does it have anything to do with you? Is this something you can inquire about? Xue Xiaoyi was overwhelmed.

"The relationship is big, you bring me closer, we may start all over again, renew the old relationship, and make up for the previous shortcomings...... Although you are not as innocent and beautiful as you used to be, I think it's okay to charm me. Shuai Lang leaned sideways, teasing and flirting without missing a word, Xue Xiaoyi didn't look at the form, stared at Shuai Lang, and was surprised for a long time before he spit out a few words: "Why are you more shameless than when you were in school?" ”

This Wen Jingniu can say this, Shuai Lang knows that he is on the verge of anger, and deliberately teases: "No, I'm a little more handsome than before, you don't have to praise me like this, right?" By the way, I've always wondered, what kind of attitude do you have towards me? ”

The attitude is clear, Xue Xiaoyi stared, stared at the ruffian, and Shuai Lang, who was talking indiscriminately, took the form, put it in the printer and typed a few lines, stamped a big stamp, slapped it on the table, and gloated: "Go, Eleven Bay Substation, it could have been closer, but for the sake of my personal reputation, you should go farther, and I promise to do my best to make you not come back." ”

Well!? Shuai Lang was happy, if his wish came true, he would really go there if he wanted to, but there was a frustrated expression on his face, obviously begging for a bargain, and it was Shuai Lang's usual style to sell a good man, this expression made Xue Xiaoyi have a sense of satisfaction when he was overwhelmed, leaning on the back of the chair proudly, and pointing at Shuai Lang: "You have to apologize sincerely, and promise to see the rules and regulations in the future, I can consider letting you go...... Although I am still a deputy section member, I can transfer you as a worker, and I have just taken care of the unit, so there is no big problem. ”

Threats, showing off, pride, proud, all a little bit, Shuai Lang looked at this girl, round face, plump and tight, but not to the point where people lost their souls at first sight, at this time the goal was achieved, no nonsense, rubbed the sound of the form and put it up, very gentlemanly said: "Isn't it just Eleven Bay?" I'm still going, don't scare me with this, do you think I look like a guy who sold himself for a broken job? My admiration for you is pure, and you have the right to refuse, but you have no right to despise you...... Hum! ”

said, got up, turned his head and left, squinted and smiled, this girl has not changed much, but her breasts are a little bigger, but her heart and eyes are a little smaller.

Behind, Xue Xiaoyi watched Shuai Lang Yang walk away in a daze, there was really no trace of pretentiousness, the feeling of being so oppressive disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by surprise, surprise, and stunned, this person who looked complicated for her more than ten years ago is still at this time, so she thought complicatedly: Wow, when did this idiot become a love saint!? What you won't say is true, right?

Women always have an attitude of enjoyment for admiration from different surnames, being so admired by Shuai Lang, and it has been ten years, true and false Xue Xiaoyi actually even hated this person, and after thinking about it for a long time, the whole thought revolved around this person, the scoundrel when he was in school, the faint embarrassment when he met ten years later, and the awesome brushing away just now, Xue Xiaoyi thought for a while and gave a definition:

It's quite backbone, like a man, but you admire it in vain, who made you a worker!?
