Jiang Shengnan handed the phone to Chuxia, and she walked out of the study room.

"Zhengnian?"

Cen Zhengnian's gentle voice came from the other side: "Chuxia, today is the Lantern Festival. Did you eat glutinous rice balls at home?"

"Yes." For some reason, Chuxia became very relaxed when she heard Cen Zhengnian talking. She sat on the chair with the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.

"What about you? Are there glutinous rice balls in the base cafeteria?"

Cen Zhengnian: "Yes, the glutinous rice balls are very sweet."

The Lantern Festival should be spent with relatives. He felt a little regretful in his heart. He had never spent a Lantern Festival with Chuxia and An'an.

He looked up at the moon outside, and now he understood why the ancients used the moon to express their longing for their families.

Chuxia smiled: "The glutinous rice balls at home are also very sweet, An'an likes them very much." The father and son are exactly the same in their love of sweets.

Cen Zhengnian's eyebrows and eyes also softened. He told Chuxia about what he said he would discuss with her yesterday.

"My job may change. I don't know where I will go. It may be more remote than the northwest, or it may not be."

Cen Zhengnian is still hesitant about this matter.

The leader said that the higher-ups are preparing to study a new project, which is the most advanced research direction in current work. They will mobilize outstanding young talents from several bases to go to one place for research.

The specific place has not been determined yet, but the order has been issued, and the Tiangong Base will also select talents to go there.

Cen Zhengnian is the best young researcher at the Tiangong Base in recent years, and he is also following a key project at the Tiangong Base.

Therefore, when the order came down, the leader looked for him first. Of course, Tiangong Base didn't want to let Cen Zhengnian leave, but the country came first.

If Cen Zhengnian really didn't want to go to the new project, the leader would continue to look for other people. Everyone who could participate in the project at Tiangong Base was excellent.

Cen Zhengnian just said that he would think about it.

The leader gave him two days, and today was the last day. He had to give the leader an answer tomorrow.

New projects, the most advanced research directions, Cen Zhengnian couldn't control his yearning when he thought of what the leader said.

He wanted to go, but if it was in the northwest, Chuxia could still live with her parents. If he went to a more remote place, or even a place where communications could not be delivered, what would happen to his family?

Cen Zhengnian thought for a long time, and still felt that he should call Chuxia to ask for her opinion.

He was already sorry for his family by working in the northwest, and if he wanted to go to an uncertain new job location, he would definitely need Chuxia's consent.

After hearing this, Chuxia said without hesitation: "I don't know about your job transfer, just make your own decision."

Just like when she took the college entrance examination, most people would definitely not support her. A good job doesn't have to be wasted.

But Cen Zhengnian supported her unconditionally, and even talked to his parents and grandfather to help her find information. Therefore, she would not interfere with his choice of work.

Cen Zhengnian: "What if the place you go is very remote, and you may not be able to send letters often?"

Chuxia smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "It is impossible that you will not be able to contact for several years."

Cen Zhengnian thought seriously for a while and said: "That shouldn't be the case. It may be a few months without contact."

Chuxia restrained her smile and frowned. A few months is not a short time. She can support him, but what about Cen Huaian?

"No matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally." Chuxia thought for a while and said in a firm tone.

Cen Zhengnian felt as if his heart was suddenly hit, and the seedlings broke out of the soil in his heart and grew up uncontrollably, covering his entire heart with green.

He was speechless all of a sudden, not knowing how to respond to Chuxia's support.

"But I think you should ask An An's opinion." Chu Xia said again, and instantly pulled Cen Zhengnian's heart back down.

She is an adult, with mature thinking ability, and can empathize with her. But An An is still young, and Cen Zhengnian can't accompany her all the time. If he loses contact for a long time, he may not accept it.

Cen Zhengnian's brows knitted together. He was indeed worried about An An's idea. What if he chose a new project and An An couldn't accept it?

He rubbed his brows and said, "You're right."

This is a dilemma, one is family, the other is work. It has been the same since ancient times. The country and the small family, one must be sacrificed.

Just at this moment, An An's happy and satisfied voice came from outside: "Mom! I'm back?"

Chu Xia said directly: "You go and talk to him."

She walked out of the study and called An An in, and handed him the phone: "Your father wants to ask your opinion on something."

"Dad, what's the matter?" Cen Huaian picked up the phone and asked, his voice still carrying the excitement that had not disappeared after playing.

Chu Xia did not walk far, but stood by and listened to the two of them talking.

Slowly, the smile on Cen Huaian's mouth disappeared, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing.

Chu Xia did not speak either, and the study suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

After a long while, she heard Cen Huaian speak.

"Dad, do you want to go?" His voice was very calm, and he really wanted to ask later.

"Dad, don't lie to me." He said again, his tone was very serious.

I don't know what was said on the other side, Cen Huaian asked again: "Dad, do you love me and mom?"

Chu Xia listened to his words, she could imagine what Cen Zhengnian on the other side would say, but she had never expected An An now.

He had just celebrated his sixth birthday. What was he like when he first met An An?

Fierce and domineering, like a stray wolf cub, wanting to bite anyone he saw, only considering himself, and being more wary of her as a mother than trusting her.

An An was distressing at that time, but he is even more distressing to Chu Xia now.

He didn't have to be so sensible, he could directly ask Cen Zhengnian not to go, this is his privilege as his son, and still a child.

But he didn't. He thought about it for a long time. He was obviously reluctant to leave his father, but he still bit his lip and said in a muffled voice: "Dad, you go."

Chu Xia walked over and gently touched his head. He leaned his head on Chu Xia and was still talking to Cen Zhengnian: "I like playing chess. If my mother doesn't let me play Go, I will be very sad. Dad, I don't want you to be sad."

Chu Xia's nose was sore, and she quickly raised her head and blinked hard. She patted Cen Huaian's back gently, and she felt indescribable in her heart.

She felt that Cen Zhengnian should feel the same as her.

Indeed, when Cen Zhengnian heard Cen Huaian's words, his heart was tingling. At that moment, he especially wanted to see An An and hug him.

"An'an..." Cen Zhengnian suppressed his emotions and said, "Thank you. Dad will always love you and Mom."

Cen Huaian hugged Chuxia and hesitated for a while before saying shyly, "Dad, I love you too."

Chuxia took the phone from Cen Huaian. She took a deep breath and said, "Zhengnian, don't think so much. You know the answer to An'an and me. Just be firm in your path."

The path that Cen Zhengnian wanted to take was great.

Chuxia actually felt that she was selfish because she didn't want Cen Zhengnian to regret not going in the future because of her and An'an.

After hanging up the phone, Cen Zhengnian sat in the chair for a long time before he wiped his face hard and stood up, walking towards the leader's office with firm steps.

The day after Chu Xia and Cen Huaian spent the Lantern Festival in the northwest, they were going back to Liangzhou.

Cen Huaian said goodbye to the new friends he had met one by one. Hu Pandeng, who had the lowest tear point, hugged Cen Huaian and cried.

"An'an! When will you come back to the army? I don't want you to leave! If you leave, Xiaohe will definitely ask me to play chess, but I don't know how to play chess!"

Cen Huaian pushed him out in disgust, but Hu Pandeng was too strong and bigger than him, so he couldn't push him at all.

Xiaohe pulled Hu Pandeng's cotton shirt from behind, and Cen Huaian pushed hard again, and finally pushed Hu Pandeng away, and Cen Huaian breathed a sigh of relief.

"My mother said that I would bring me again when I let me go." Xiao He was a bit low in his mood

. When he heard this, he immediately raised his head and said, "I will definitely learn to go to Go in the summer vacation. At that time, I will play with you. " Forget me " " An An, we will miss you! "" An An, you must come to the army again in the summer vacation! Mom and grandma did not dare to protect him . He felt wronged and hated Cen Huaian very much. Now that he was leaving, he was about to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Unfortunately, Cen Huaian had long forgotten who he was, and his emotions had nothing to do with An An. Cen Huaian exchanged addresses with his friends and said they would write to each other. Then he waved to Hu Pandeng and the others and got into the car with his mother. Xiao Liu and Jiang Shengnan went to see them off. When the car drove out of the army gate, Jiang Shengnan pointed to the west where there was no human presence except for the poplar trees and said, "An An, your father works over there." Cen Huaian leaned on the car window and looked out. He really wanted to see his father suddenly appear and smile at him and say, "An An, Dad is here to see you off." But it was obviously impossible. Cen Zheng had a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and now was a busy time. The base would not give him another holiday. Therefore, Cen Huaian leaned on the car window and watched all the way until he arrived at the train station, but he did not see Cen Zhengnian. There was disappointment in his eyes, and Chuxia felt sad. She also hoped that Cen Zhengnian would show up. She and Anan were about to leave the northwest. Except for the day when Cen Zhengnian came to pick them up, they only stayed with Cen Zhengnian for two days during the Chinese New Year. They hadn't seen him for more than ten days. It was not that Chuxia and Anan didn't miss him. Jiang Shengnan and Xiao Liu helped to carry Chuxia and Anan's luggage. When they were about to send them to the station, they suddenly heard a familiar male voice: "Chuxia! Anan!" There was some anxiety in the voice. Chuxia and Anan widened their eyes in disbelief and turned around immediately. They saw Cen Zhengnian getting out of a car and running towards them quickly. He was covered in dust and even his hair was messed up by the wind. "Zhengnian, how come you made it here?" Chuxia's eyes were filled with surprise and joy, and she couldn't help but smile. Cen Huaian rushed directly to Cen Zhengnian: "Dad!" His tone was excited and happy. Cen Zhengnian picked him up. Jiang Shengnan pulled Xiao Liu to the side and made room for the family of three. Cen Zhengnian rubbed Cen Huaian's hair, smiled at Chuxia and said softly: "Fortunately you made it here. I told my leader that if I was transferred to another job, I wouldn't know how long it would take for me to see you again, and we might not see each other for several years. So he asked me to come." After he sent the two of them to the station, he had to rush back immediately. He couldn't stay with them all the time, and he couldn't wait until the two of them got on the train. But it didn't matter. As long as they could see Cen Zhengnian once before leaving, Cen Huaian and Chuxia would be happy. Cen Zhengnian hugged Cen Huaian with one hand and stretched out the other hand to hug Chuxia: "Chuxia, An'an, I'm sorry..." Before Cen Zhengnian finished speaking, Chuxia interrupted him: "We are all leaving, do you still want to say this? Say something else." Don't say that she and An'an didn't blame him. Even if they really blamed him, his job couldn't be changed. Chuxia mentioned what she and Cen Huaian did with the little orange lantern yesterday, and Cen Huaian also excitedly shared with Cen Zhengnian the scene of him and his friends holding the little orange lantern and playing last night. "The little orange lamp is very beautiful." Cen Huaian ran to Jiang Shengnan, took out the box of the little orange lamp from the luggage bag, and ran back quickly with his short legs, looking up and handing the iron box to Cen Zhengnian. "Dad, this is the little orange lamp that Mom and I made, for you." Cen Zhengnian took it cherishingly, touched the outside of the iron box with his fingers, and opened it carefully. There were two small and exquisite orange lamps side by side inside. He couldn't help showing a warm look in his eyes, looking at the little orange lamp, the arc of his mouth never faded.

"I like it very much. I will keep it well." Cen Zhengnian closed the iron box again and held it in his hand.

The three of them talked for a while, and Jiang Shengnan and Xiao Liu came over: "It's almost time, Chuxia and Anan have to go in."

Cen Zhengnian frowned, thinking how time passed so quickly, he felt that he had not talked much with Chuxia and Anan.

But he had to send the two of them in, so as not to miss the time for ticket checking and boarding the train.

Cen Zhengnian sent Chuxia and Anan to the station, and after settling them down, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But when he looked at the two of them, he couldn't help but stretched out his hands to hug them in his arms, and said with a strong tone of reluctance: "I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Chuxia and Anan nodded.

Cen Zhengnian let go of the two, said a few words to Jiang Shengnan, and turned around and walked out.

When he reached the door, Cen Zhengnian stopped and turned around, meeting the eyes of Chuxia and Anan who had been looking at his back.

He smiled at the two gently, waved his hand, and looked at them deeply, as if imprinting their figures in his mind, and then turned around and walked out again until he disappeared at the door.

Watching Cen Zhengnian walk away, Chuxia suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, and Cen Huaian's mood also fell.

Jiang Shengnan and Xiao Liu were still with the two, but they didn't know what words to use to comfort them. At this time, any language they said was very pale.

But Chuxia soon sorted out her mood, hugged Cen Huaian, sat on the chair and talked to Jiang Shengnan.

She and An'an lived so comfortably in the Ganzhou Army, which was inseparable from Jiang Shengnan's caring care. She was really an ideal mother-in-law. The two lived together for so many days, and Chuxia liked her very much.

Jiang Shengnan was not only good at work, but also a very upright person in dealing with people, and so was Cen's father.

Perhaps it was because of the two of them that they raised a son like Cen Huaian who had a good character.

The train ticket was at 11 o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Shengnan also bought sleeper berths for Chuxia and An'an. She and Xiao Liu sent the two of them to the train and left only after they found their seats.

Before leaving, Jiang Shengnan said to Chuxia: "I have said hello to the people at the train station. If you have any questions, go to the train attendants and they will help you."

Chuxia: "Okay, thank you, Mom."

"Goodbye, Grandma."

An'an looked at Jiang Shengnan's figure leaving the window and felt even more depressed: "Mom, I can't bear to leave Grandpa and Grandma."

These days, Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father have been very good to Cen Huaian. Although they are very busy, they have given An'an everything they can, so that he has received a lot of love.

Now that they are leaving, not to mention Cen Huaian, Chuxia is still reluctant to leave.

She touched Cen Huaian's head and said, "It's okay, we will come to see Grandpa and Grandma again during the summer vacation."

Cen Huaian was still looking out the window and said "hmm".

In the berth where they lived, Chuxia also put on the sheets and quilts she brought with her before taking An'an to sit on it.

Because both of them were in a bad mood and couldn't concentrate on reading, they took the Go board and laid a layer of paper on the bed.

Of course, they were playing the Go game of the Early Summer Club.

At this time, Cen Zhengnian had already returned to the Tiangong base. He returned the car and walked to the laboratory with the small iron box in his hand. As

soon as he entered the laboratory, Yu Tian was stuck on a calculation, and no matter how he calculated it, it was not right. He saw Cen Zhengnian's eyes light up and called him immediately.

"Zhengnian, can you see where I went wrong? Why is the result wrong?"

Cen Zhengnian walked over and looked down at the densely packed calculation formulas on the paper. In less than a minute, he pointed to one of the numbers and said, "You forgot a decimal point here."

Yu Tian quickly looked over and added the decimal point. Sure enough, the result was right. He showed a happy smile on his face: "You are still careful. I have been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. By the way, have you seen your sister-in-law and An An?"

Yu Tian continued to calculate the next step on the paper while asking.

"Yes."

Cen Zhengnian put the small iron box on the table, went to get a pen and paper, and prepared to start working.

Yutian saw the small iron box and reached out to take it: "Zhengnian, what is this?"

Cen Zhengnian immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist: "My son gave it to me. Don't touch it, the things inside are very fragile."

Yutian withdrew his hand instantly and kept it away from the small iron box, but he couldn't help but be curious: "What is it?"

Cen Zhengnian smiled slightly: "It's a small orange lantern made by him and Chuxia."

Yutian's eyes widened , a sour jealousy suddenly surged in his heart: "Zhengnian, you are just showing off because my wife and daughter are not here, right?"

Cen Zhengnian had already started working, and he said "hmm", "You can also let your daughter and wife do it for you."

Yu Tian stared at Cen Zhengnian and cursed him angrily: "Cen Zhengnian, you are really a bad person!"

Then he decided in his heart that he would never be curious about Cen Zhengnian's things again, so as not to get hurt. But he always forgets, and what will happen in the future will still happen.

It was also a two-day drive. Chu Xia and Cen Huaian arrived at Liangzhou Station at noon on the 18th day of the first lunar month.

When she went to Ganzhou, she only brought a luggage bag. When she came back, in addition to the luggage bag, she also brought a suitcase of things, all of which were stuffed into it by Jiang Shengnan for her to bring back.

The suitcase was still very heavy, and Chuxia firmly said no, as it was too inconvenient to carry it on and off the bus.

However, Jiang Shengnan could not persuade her, so she and Xiao Liu carried all the things on board for her.

Chuxia and Anan carried the things together, walking for a while and resting for a while, and finally moved all the things onto the bus. She was so tired that she sat down on the seat and didn't want to move anymore.

Anan was also very tired, but he was better than Chuxia. He recovered in a while, looking at the trees passing by quickly outside the window, and she couldn't wait to go home. Chuxia also

wanted to go home. She was just tired and wanted to rest quickly. It was too long to take a train to travel far away, even sitting on a sleeper was not comfortable.

Fortunately, Liangzhou Railway Station is not too far from the No. 3 Textile Factory. The bus stopped and started and arrived in half an hour.

Chuxia and Anan took the luggage down with great difficulty and began to move slowly towards home.

"Auntie! Anan! You are back!"

Just after moving a few meters, the surprised voices of Bangzi and the others came from behind.

Chuxia and An'an put down their luggage and looked over. They saw a few people pushing tricycles parked on the side of the road. The tricycles were still filled with the things they sold today.

Chuxia looked at the smiles on their faces, nodded at them and said, "Yes, we just got off the train."

Seeing his good friends, Cen Huaian couldn't help showing a happy look in his eyes and greeted them one by one.

"Auntie, you put your things on the tricycle, we can just deliver them to your family compound."

Bangzi saw how hard Chuxia and An'an were moving their luggage. There was still space on the tricycle, so he and Maozai helped to move the luggage onto the tricycle and pushed it towards their family's home.

"Thank you." Chuxia thanked them and was really relieved.

There is actually still some distance from the bus station to the family compound. Normally, it only takes a few minutes to walk there, but it is difficult to carry such heavy luggage.

Bangzi and Maozai were very curious about An An's life in the northwest. Maozai and Kuaizi asked questions one after another.

An An answered one by one and told them about his life in the northwest.

Bangzi, Maozai and others were amazed, especially when they heard Cen Huaian talking about the delicacies he ate at the market. They had never heard of them. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and even Bangzi couldn't help licking his lips.

Chuxia followed beside him and listened to Cen Huaian with a smile. She liked him very much now. He looked like a real six-year-old child, very cute.

Soon, several people walked into the family yard. Chuxia and several children carried the luggage into the house together. When the luggage was placed on the ground, the dust on the ground was shaken up.

After walking for so many days, the house was full of dust. If she wanted to rest, she had to clean it up. Chuxia felt even more tired.

However, Chuxia had not forgotten these children. She grabbed Bangzi who wanted to run away and asked Cen Huaian to quickly open the suitcase to pack food for them.

Most of the things in the suitcase were Ganzhou specialties, various dried fruits, dried meats, and furs.

Cen Huaian was very obedient. He opened the suitcase very quickly and grabbed a lot of things.

Chuxia helped to stuff money into the pockets of Bangzi and his friends: "Don't run, if you run I'll let An'an take it home for you!"

With this threat, Bangzi and his friends stopped running and obediently let Chuxia fill each of them with a bag full of delicious food, and also gave each of them a red envelope as New Year's money.

Bangzi refused: "Auntie, don't give it to me, I have money."

Maozai, Kuaizi and the other two also nodded: "Yes, Auntie, the New Year is over, we don't want New Year's money." Chuxia

didn't listen and told them to take it: "The New Year is not over until the first month of the year, come on, take it! Otherwise, do you want me to accompany you to take it home?"

Bangzi and Maozai had no choice but to accept it, but the four of them were very happy in their hearts, because no one gave them red envelopes during the New Year, including Bangzi's grandmother.

Adults don’t have money, so they don’t take the money seriously. They think it’s a waste to give it to children because they can just spend it on candy and firecrackers.

Children who receive money from relatives will be asked by adults to take it away, saying that they are keeping it for a favor. But they never see it again.

The situation of some children in Bangzi is special. They don’t have many relatives, so they can earn money on their own. Bangzi’s grandmother said that he has more money than her, so there is no need to give him the money.

Some children took the money and pushed the cart home. When they opened the red envelopes, they saw that each of them had a dollar in it. Bangzi and his friends looked at each other and smiled even more.

One yuan was what Chuxia had in mind. It was more than the few cents or ten cents given by other adults, but it was within the acceptable range for Bangzi and the others. If they were given two yuan, they would definitely think it was too much and would not want it.

The house was full of dust, but Chuxia had covered the quilt and put it in the cupboard before leaving. Now they just had to put it out to dry.

She first wiped out two chairs with a rag, pulled Cen Huaian to sit down and said, "Let's take a break before cleaning the house."

Cen Huaian was stronger than Chuxia, and he couldn't sit still. After sitting for a while, he stood up and said, "Mom, I'll sweep the floor first." Chuxia

waved her hand, sat for a few more minutes, and then stood up to clean up with Cen Huaian.

At noon, most people in the family compound were at home. Seeing Chuxia and An'an coming back, they greeted them one after another.

Now they all know that Chuxia handed over her job to someone else, and now many people are saying that she is stupid.

"How can you give up such a stable job?"

"Chuxia, you are really stupid. Working in the Propaganda Department is so easy. What are you thinking?"

"That's right, if you give up such a good job, can you find a better job in the future?"

Chuxia nodded in unison without explaining too much. No matter what she said, the neighbors would think she was stupid for giving up such a good job.

They also had good intentions. Chuxia couldn't say bad things to them, so she let them say whatever they wanted. They said that they would leave after seeing her attitude.

Sure enough, seeing that Chuxia was not interested, several people sighed and went home with their rice bowls. They still had to go to work in the afternoon.

Sister Li didn't leave. She was more sincere to Chu Xia than those neighbors. She really felt sorry for her job.

"Chu Xia, I think you made a hasty decision about the job. Now you have lost your job. What will you and An An do in the future?"

"It's okay. I have my own plans. You don't have to worry about me."

Sister Li sighed, "I know you have your own plans. Forget it, I won't say more. You and An An haven't eaten yet. I happened to make a lot of noodles. I'll bring some to you." Before

Chu Xia finished saying "no", Sister Li had already taken the bowl from Chu Xia's house to serve the noodles.

Two bowls full of potato and egg hand-rolled noodles. She was really willing to give Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian.

"Big sister, An'an and I have eaten on the train, so we can't finish this much."

Big sister Li didn't allow them to refuse: "This is not much, noodles won't fill your stomach, eat them while they're hot, and clean up after you finish. I'll give you a coal ball to help you light a fire!"

Chuxia ate the noodles and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, big sister."

Big sister Li waved her hands nonchalantly, holding the coal ball and said: "What are you thanking me for? We're neighbors."

Chuxia and An'an had food at eleven o'clock, and after all the trouble, they were indeed a little hungry again.

The bowls at home were not large bowls, and the ones Chuxia bought were smaller, just right for her and An'an. Big sister Li's cooking skills were good, and the hand-rolled noodles she made were delicious. The two of them actually ate up two bowls of noodles.

After washing the dishes and continuing to scrub and clean, Sister Li took back the flaming coal balls before going to work and put them in an aluminum kettle to boil water.

By the time the house was cleaned up inside and out, most of the afternoon had passed. The main reason was that Chuxia didn't clean continuously. She would take a break when she was tired, and then continue.

It took a lot of time to clean and wash intermittently.

In the evening, Chuxia really didn't want to cook by herself, so she took Anan out to eat.

When the two finished their meal, the sun had already set, but it was not completely dark yet. The sky in the west was orange.

People on the road were rushing home, and many people who were getting off work were riding bicycles on the road.

Chuxia held Anan's hand and walked home slowly while digesting the food. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

But when she saw Wang Yulan standing at the door of her house, Chuxia's good mood was immediately discounted.

"Mom, you are well-informed." Chuxia said with a smile, her voice sounded gentle, but there was sarcasm in her words.

Wang Yulan's face was not good. She looked at Chuxia, her eyes full of anger: "I am not well-informed, I come here every day."

She followed Chuxia into the house, not pretending to be weak.

"Why didn't you tell your family that you didn't want to work anymore? Don't you know that your brother doesn't have a job yet?"

Wang Yulan remembered that when she heard the news that her second daughter gave her job to someone else, it was like a bolt from the blue. She was stunned for a moment and grabbed someone to ask if it was true?

When she was sure it was true, Wang Yulan's heart ached so much that it was about to bleed. Her heart felt like it was burning on fire. She was anxious, angry and painful, and hurried to find Chuxia.

She found that she had already gone to the northwest, and the door of her house was locked. Wang Yulan became even angrier.

"And you didn't even tell your family that you were going to the northwest to celebrate the New Year, Chuxia, are you really not going to recognize me as your mother or your father?"

She sighed, and the fragile expression that Chuxia was familiar with appeared on her face, pretending to be weak again.

Chuxia was not soft-hearted at all, she poured herself a glass of water, and poured it back and forth between two cups to wait for it to cool down, and said, "It will be the same result whether I tell you or not, why should I bother. If I tell you, you and dad will be angry and stop me, you see how filial I am, I want to prevent you from getting angry during the New Year."

Hearing Chuxia's words, Wang Yulan's expression became even uglier, and she almost breathed a sigh of relief.

Her chest heaved violently and she took several deep breaths. She said in a very sad tone, "Chuxia, you don't consider me and your father at all now, and you don't think about your brothers and sisters. You really disappoint me."

Chuxia smiled, saw that the water was almost finished, took a sip and said, "Really? Then don't worry, I will disappoint you many more times in the future."

Wang Yulan looked at Chuxia in disbelief, not believing that she would say such a thing: "Chuxia, why have you become so strange to me? Are you still my daughter? How can you say such a thing?"

Chuxia looked at her and said in a cold voice, "Your dear daughter has been starved to death by you."

Her tone was extremely serious because she was telling the truth.

Wang Yulan obviously didn't understand what she meant, and frowned: "I raised you since you were a child, and I have never been hungry. When you were sick as a child, I took you to the hospital in the middle of the night. Have you forgotten all this? Who provoked you to say these words?"

Chuxia didn't say anything more, just said: "I have handed over the work to someone else. Luo Chuming has a job in the transport team. He can continue to do it when he gets better."

Wang Yulan's face was very sad: "Your brother almost died because of that job. You actually said such a thing. You are too cruel now."

Chuxia continued to drink water slowly: "Then what do you want?"

Wang Yulan finally Yu told her the purpose of coming here: "The job of Textile Factory No. 3 is yours, listen to mom, you can't give it to others. If you really don't want to do it, let your brother do it for you first. Go and tell the factory manager not to let that little girl take over."

Chu Xia laughed out loud, and she looked at her with an expression that Wang Yulan was joking: "Mom, don't joke. It's impossible to take back the job if someone else takes over. The little girl's family is capable of taking over my job. What do you think will happen if I go back on my word? It turns out that you only have your son in your heart forever, and I, your daughter, am nothing. You don't need to say more, I won't agree."

"Chuxia..." Wang Yulan frowned and called her: "I'm not..."

Chuxia interrupted her: "Mom, don't force me anymore. If you don't want me to be well, then I won't want you to be well either. It just so happens that I'm barefoot now and I'm not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you don't want me to go to the factory with you and my eldest brother every day to talk about what you did, just continue."

Wang Yulan glared at her, and the anger in her heart surged up. She tried hard to calm down. She was really afraid that Chuxia would go to the factory and make trouble like this. Their family still had some shame.

She could only say bitterly: "Chu Xia, what good will it do to offend your family? Do you really not want a little help from your family? What will you do if you are bullied by your husband's family in the future? Won't you let your brothers help you out?"

Chu Xia: "Thank you, I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that you will ask for my money. And I forgot to say, I'm very happy in the northwest, my parents-in-law treat me very well."
