Chapter 224 Exquisite
Xiao Yangzhi calculated the time, and the two of them had originally planned to visit together on the last day of the holiday before the Chinese New Year.

It is not necessary now. Xu Mingyuan looked through the release certificate several times, confirmed that the official seal on it was correct, and then frowned.

What he never expected was that this cheap father was actually released on parole early. What confused him even more was how Xu Jun got out?
What Xu Jun did was really stupid. When he saw a pickup truck in the power supply bureau's compound loaded with electrical wires, he pried the truck open and sold it in the neighboring province without saying a word.

At that time, the scrap collection stations were not strictly managed. No matter whether it was stolen goods or not, whether it was a manhole cover or an electrical wire, as long as they could make money, they would collect anything.

The scrap collection station doesn't care, but the theft is strictly controlled. In the past few years, those who were caught were given heavy sentences.

Moreover, the people at the local power supply bureau were slow to react. They didn't find any problems until the truck was sent back. They thought the cables had been delivered to the construction site. Finally, when they were reconciling the accounts, they discovered that a batch of cables were missing.

Such audacious behavior naturally caused displeasure among the leaders of the power supply bureau, and they would inevitably ask the court to impose a more severe crime.

Xu Mingyuan also tried many ways and asked the lawyer to pay a lot of money before Xu Jun's sentence was reluctantly set at less than three years.

With some lobbying, Xu Jun was given a one-year reduction in sentence, allowing him to stay in prison for two years before being released.

Xu Mingyuan could use the method of giving money to get him medical parole and let him out a few months earlier.

But Xu Mingyuan did not have the ability to obtain parole. Xu Jun did not make any significant contributions, and if he wanted to reduce his sentence by half a year, it would be difficult to do so without asking for help from others.

Moreover, Xu Mingyuan did not want to trouble Tao Changming's connections because of such a matter. It would not look good to spend so much effort just to get his cheap father out. It would be better to apply for medical parole.

Besides, Xu Jun has less than four months left to serve in his sentence. We can pick him up in early May, and it would be nice to let him continue to study in prison for a while.

"Dad, who granted you parole?"

Xu Mingyuan couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask him.

"Not you?" Xu Jun asked.

"I don't have that ability."

"You are too modest. How can my son be incompetent? Don't cry, my daughter. I am out now, right?"

Xu Jun smiled and continued to comfort the crying Xiao Yangzhi.

It was useless to ask him, so Xu Mingyuan had to say, "Dad, why didn't you call and tell me that you were leaving early?"

"I wanted to give you a surprise, hahaha..."

Xu Jun laughed loudly towards the sky, but noticing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, he gave a dry laugh and stopped.

"..."

Xu Mingyuan was speechless. He didn't feel surprised or anything, but he was still a little frightened.

Looking at Xiao Yangzhi beside her, she was already crying and gasping for breath.

It was the first time that Xu Mingyuan saw her crying so miserably. One pack of tissues was not enough, so he opened a new pack of tissues and continued crying.

But no matter what, she was crying with joy. In the upcoming New Year, Xu Jun gave Xiao Yangzhi a big surprise.

"Stop howling a bit. Have I wronged you? Why are you still crying so much? Is it endless?"

Half an hour passed, and little Yangzhi choked up from time to time, which made Xu Mingyuan feel dizzy.

"No, no. Brother, I am happy, I am glad..."

Yang Zhi cried so hard that she could hardly finish a sentence.

"Xiaoyuan, your sister is very pitiful, be nice to her."

Xu Jun couldn't bear it anymore and advised gently.

"Brother, I won't cry anymore..." Yang Zhi

"If you love to cry, then go ahead and cry."

You unlucky child, why are you trying to win favor here? Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to bother with Xiao Yangzhi, so he went to the study to play on the computer.

He was in a very confused mood at the moment and couldn't make sense of what was going on for a while.

No one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. Xu Mingyuan likes to face an unknown tomorrow, but does not like situations that are out of control.

According to Xu Mingyuan's original idea, when his father came out, he would have already started a new round of asset integration and would put him in any position for training.

The idea of ​​training his father has not even been implemented yet, but he has to start keeping an idle person. During the New Year, where can we find a place for his father to train?

If this unreliable father of his has some free time, won’t he become the same person he used to be?

Xu Mingyuan simply stopped thinking about it. The old man had raised a rich second-generation back then, and now as a son, he was raising a father of a rich second-generation as well. It was actually no big deal.

dong dong dong...

There was a gentle knock on the door, and then Xiao Yangzhi poked his head in.

"Brother, I won't cry anymore..."

Yang Zhi's eyes were red and swollen, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Ah."

Xu Mingyuan was feeling upset, so he just nodded perfunctorily.

"elder brother……"

"What's wrong again?" Xu Mingyuan raised his head.

"Don't stay in the room anymore, come out and join us, okay?"

Yang Zhi's tone was filled with pleading, and she looked at Xu Mingyuan cautiously, as if she had returned to the day they first met. Seeing that she had cried until her tears dried up, Xu Mingyuan walked out of the room, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and chatted with his father for a while.

The topic is nothing more than what life is like inside and how it differs from outside.

Listening to him telling the interesting stories, Xu Mingyuan found it interesting and smiled knowingly.

But little Yangzhi didn't want to laugh at all. Even though Xu Jun came out, her eyes were still filled with endless worry.

Xu Mingyuan smacked his lips and sighed.

It’s no wonder that Xu Jun likes this girl who came here halfway. The gap was revealed unconsciously.

"Uncle, give me the clothes, I'll go wash them."

"Throw them all away to get rid of the bad luck." Xu Mingyuan said.

The bag was filled with clothes that Xiaoyuan Yangzhi brought when she visited her. She was quite thrifty and had never bought expensive clothes. They were all unknown branded items that cost a hundred or so yuan.

"You're right. It's unlucky. Throw it away." Xu Jun said with a smile.

Compared with two years ago, Xu Jun's hair has become slightly grayer and there are more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

But he seems to be in much better spirits and not as depressed as before.

Xiao Yangzhi packed all of Xu Jun's belongings neatly into a cardboard box and placed it at the bottom of the cabinet.

Now she turned it out and pushed it into the living room with great effort.

The cartons were mostly filled with clothes, all brand names.

Xu Mingyuan took a look at the brands. His father was quite respectable, and there were many light luxury clothes from Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton in the suitcase.

If you don’t manage a household, you won’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

Xu Mingyuan no longer needs to wear famous brands to show off, he just buys some comfortable clothes that his father will not enjoy.

There was nothing in the box except some clothes. Xu Jun should have had some things like watches in the past, but he probably sold them when he was in financial difficulty. There was no market for second-hand brand-name clothing in Nanxi, so he probably put them away because he couldn't sell them.

Seeing a worn-out mobile phone under the box, Xu Mingyuan picked up the packaging bag and put it on the table, saying, "I just happened to buy a mobile phone today. I can use it after getting a card."

"Hey, good."

Xu Jun took it and took out the mobile phone box.

From being arrested to being detained, Xu Jun has not seen the outside world for nearly two years. The times have developed rapidly in the past two years. The black and white screens used to be used, but now they are all color screens.

When I returned to society again, I had the illusion that I was in another world.

"Xiaoyuan, come and teach dad how to use it."

"Let Xiao Yangzhi teach you. She can do it."

How could Xu Mingyuan have the patience to teach this cheap father? He had never even taught little Yangzhi.

"Okay, girl, come here."

Xu Jun waved and greeted Xiao Yangzhi.

Xu Mingyuan had been estranged from his father since childhood. In addition, he had lost his freedom in the past two years. Not only could he not help him, but he also had to entrust his biological son to take care of his adopted daughter.

When facing Xu Mingyuan again, Xu Jun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Knowing that he was losing face, he didn't say much.

Xiao Yangzhi, who is usually silent, became talkative at this moment. She had been away for such a long time and she had a lot to say.

While teaching Xu Jun how to use a mobile phone, Xiao Yangzhi recounted what had happened during this period and then said that Xu Mingyuan was very good to her.

Xu Mingyuan was bored, so he gave up the sofa, sat on the cushion and turned on the TV.

"Xiaoyuan, did you buy the tea bricks? They're top-grade Pu'er tea, at least 20 years old."

When Xiao Yangzhi was rummaging through the tea box, Xu Jun saw the tea bricks in the box and took them out to smell them.

"I didn't buy it. My girlfriend brought it from her home." Xu Mingyuan turned his head and took a look. Seeing him holding the tea brick and smelling it, he said, "Dad, drink it if you want. I won't drink this either."

"Okay, let's make a cup." Xu Jun tore open the package and said with a tea needle in hand, "It's hard to pry the tea bricks with the year on them. Carefully insert the needle along the edge and it will come off."

Xu Jun can make tea. Although he cannot be called an expert in tea art, he is definitely an expert compared to the two younger generations in the family.

There is a set of tea sets at home. Xiao Yangzhi would clean them when he had nothing to do. It would be very clean even though it had not been used for a long time. He then took a basin as a waste water bucket and boiled a pot of boiling water.

Put the large pieces of tea leaves at the bottom of the bowl and press the scattered fragments on top. As Xu Jun spoke, he rinsed the tea and poured it out.

"This tea is good, with a mellow flavor and pure soup color. It tastes smooth and fragrant, and it lingers on your lips and teeth. Mm, it can be brewed ten times." Xu Jun nodded with satisfaction and continued, "If it is thirty years old, it will have a golden edge. Twenty years old tea bricks taste good, but the taste is a little bit worse. Girl, you can try it too, the fourth brew is the best."

"Oh."

Yang Zhi nodded, took it with both hands, and drank it in small sips.

Listening to his cheap father explaining how to make tea, including how long the first round of water should be simmered, Xu Mingyuan was stunned.

I go!

You are worthy of being a rich second generation. Your family is living in such a miserable state, and you are still enjoying a refined life here?

As his useless knowledge increased, Xu Mingyuan never paid attention to trivial matters like making tea. Thinking of his experience of being beaten since childhood, he felt inexplicably sad.

The old man definitely chose to retire early because he had spoiled his children, and this is when his generation started using corporal punishment.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xu Mingyuan no longer thought about training this cheap father. He simply took some dividends from the company and let him live happily...
