"Don't drink yet, let's talk business, Xiao Xi! Your grandfather sold his reputation to get your job. You work in a steel factory. Although you are just an ordinary female worker, if you do your job well, it is a stable job. You must work hard!" Chen's father interrupted Chen Xi and explained the origin of Chen Xi's job.

In fact, the more important thing was that the director of the Youth League Office also understood that it was too tragic for their family to have all three children sent to the countryside without any of them around, so he agreed to let one of the girls return to the city.

Seeing that they did not favor boys over girls and chose to let their daughter return to the city, the director of the Youth League Office was very pleased and sincerely happy for Chen Xi, so he agreed to let Chen Xi return.

This is how Chen Xi was able to come back. Otherwise, if someone had disagreed, Chen Xi would not have been able to come back so smoothly.

"Okay, I see." After this meal, it can be seen that the scumbag father is trying very hard to repair the relationship, but he should also realize that he is on the same path as him, so he put away the arrogance and prejudice of his previous life and carefully maintained the relationship between father and daughter.

It was this scumbag mother that surprised Chen Xi a little.

The bad mother is a love-brained person, the kind of person who thinks everything her husband says is right.

Although she tried her best to control her emotions, it was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with herself.

Come to think of it, the people she loved the most were Chen Yao and Chen Wei. Now Chen Yao and Chen Wei were still suffering in the Northwest, but she had returned to the city. There was no way she could be happy.

Chen Xi was helpless about this kind of mother who favored boys over girls. How could she have happened to be like this?

She even felt that this mother didn't look like a member of the Liu family at all.

At the dinner table, she secretly reminded her father several times about his two sons, but she would keep quiet after being glared at by the father.

The bad mother thought she didn't see her actions, but she didn't know that she saw everything.

Not only myself, but my grandparents also saw it and were filled with disappointment towards my mother.

"Xixi, eat more, you are too thin." Grandma kept picking up food for herself.

Chen Xi also followed suit and ate, but he didn't do any work after returning to the city, so he didn't consume much physical energy. Therefore, he didn't have such a strong desire for food, and he had no taste for food.

"How is she thinner? Others go to the countryside to suffer hardships, but look at her, she goes there to enjoy herself." Hearing his mother's words, Liu Qinglan rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the sound of someone slamming the table, and everyone was startled.

"If you can continue eating, then eat. If you can't, then go back to your room!" Chen Dashan shouted, shocking Liu Qinglan so much that she shivered. Deep down in her heart, she still felt fear for her husband, so she immediately got up and left.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. Qinglan saw that we brought Xixi back to the city, and she always wanted to bring Ayao and Awei back as well. I didn't want to agree, and she kept saying it every day. I really couldn't control myself today." Chen Dashan spoke with mixed emotions, lowering his head, looking as if he couldn't speak.

"You didn't bring Xixi back by yourself. I sold my reputation to get her back! What does it have to do with you and your wife? If you have the ability, find a way to get them back! If you don't have the ability, just let them stay!" Liu Chengfeng snorted coldly, looked towards his daughter's room, and said loudly.

Soon, sobbing sounds were heard from inside the door, and everyone's interest in eating was completely ruined.

"What bad luck! I should have gone to the state-owned restaurant today." Liu Chengfeng heard the sobbing and got up and left.

Seeing this, Wen Qiong also hurriedly stood up.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'll take you there." Chen Xi naturally couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly got up and followed.

"It's my fault for not making good arrangements today. Let's do it another day! I'll treat you to a meal at a state-owned restaurant another day." Chen Dashan sighed and spoke.

"You can go to the restaurant to eat, but don't bring her with you." Liu Chengfeng was really disappointed with his daughter.

He and his wife had finally escaped death and returned home, but he didn't expect that his daughter didn't come to pick them up. Even when they came to find him, she said some half-hearted things to the neighbors, saying that she would not recognize them and that they were bad elements and shouldn't think that they would be rehabilitated.

They were truly disappointed with their daughter.

Liu Kang also felt that the sister who loved her parents and herself in the past had disappeared and become a complete stranger.

"Well, okay." Chen Dashan agreed immediately.

Chen Xi and Liu Kang each supported the other as they left the Chen family. On the way back to the Liu family, Liu Chengfeng felt sad when he thought of his former daughter.

"How can a person change so much? Your mother was not like this before she gave birth to you." Liu Chengfeng thought of his daughter who used to be intelligent and generous.

"Yeah! Why can a person change so much?" Liu Kang also felt lost.

"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny!" Wen Qiong had already let it go. "Hehe! You're in the countryside, nothing happened, right?"

Chen Xi, who was inexplicably singled out, felt guilty and scratched his hair. After a few months, his hair had grown a lot longer, from its original messy straw-like short hair to shoulder-length hair. It was now big enough to tie up in a single ponytail. Chen Xi wore it in a low ponytail that was very popular in later generations, making him look intellectual and generous.

She looked completely different from when she went to Dayang Village. Not only did the people in Dayang Village not recognize her now, but her own parents also didn't recognize her, right?

"Grandma, what you said is true. I work hard every day to earn enough work points. What can go wrong?" Chen Xi would not tell them those dirty things.

More importantly, I can’t tell you what happened with Sikong Ling!

"Xixi, it seems like your birthday has passed, right? Let's do this! When you officially start working, come to grandpa's house and we'll give you a formal 18th birthday to celebrate your coming of age." Life in the countryside was so busy that Chen Xi didn't even realize his birthday had passed.

To be more precise, Chen Xi never celebrated his birthday in his previous life, so naturally, he didn't have the habit of celebrating his birthday in this life.

"Oh! No need. We all just returned to the city and are short of money! There's no need to be so extravagant for me. Besides, the situation in the city is not good, so it's better not to be so ostentatious." Chen Xi shook his head and refused.

Everyone thought about it and decided to just let it go.

"Hehe! With your mother like that, you probably won't be happy living at home. Why don't you move to our house?" Liu Kang thought about it and was a little worried about his niece's situation at home.

"Your uncle is right. Your mother has a mental problem. Who knows what she might do. I heard from your father that she helped your uncle's family get sent down this time."
