Chen Xi's parents didn't expect that Chen Xi would go home two years early, and they were naturally overjoyed to see him come back.

Now that Chen Xi is tall and sturdy, people who don't know will go home as a soldier in the future, where can they see that they are going home in prison? The parents were a little relieved to see that their son was indeed exercising, not being abused. Of course, Chen Xi didn't dare to tell them about the sins he had suffered in prison before, otherwise they would die of distress.

Because he was afraid of extraneous complications, he did not resentence Chen Xi to the public, but only gave Chen Xi a new trial result. Chen Xi now took it out to show his parents, and then explained to them the situation back then.

His mother burst into tears, for she had always believed in her son's innocence, and now it had been confirmed! Chen Qiao was so excited that he scolded his son. Although he knew that Chen Xi did this for fear that the bandits would hurt their family, he made such a thing by himself and kept hiding it from his parents, which couldn't help but make him angry.

After all, the matter is over, and Chen Xi's parents have regained their joy and self-confidence. In the past few years, in front of others, they have felt inferior, familiar people are willing to listen to you tell you the ins and outs, know that it is a mistake to be sentenced, strangers who are also crowded, will only say "There is a murderer in their family!" ”。 Now they can't wait to let everyone know the news of Chen Xi's innocence right away.

Chen Xi knew that he had already spread the reputation of being imprisoned outside, and although his parents had kept stating to the outside world in the past few days, the neighbors still looked at him with strange eyes. Because even if Chen Xi is innocent, after all, he has been in prison for several years now!

As a result, Chen Xi also went out less often, locking himself at home, reading the news, reading books, newspapers and magazines, and supplementing current affairs information. At the request of his parents, he called his former homeroom teacher and the principal of the school to tell them about his situation. They were also relieved and encouraged him.

The parents' intention is to hope that Chen Xi will be able to return to school after the New Year. Chen Xi had no intention of going back to school, and the words of the teacher and the principal made him feel unfamiliar, so they just politely said that they didn't mention looking for him to go back to study. Thinking about it, the school will not tolerate a person who has been in prison to go back to school, and he will definitely be afraid that he will affect other people.

Chen Xi's heart for studying was already very light, and his parents immediately said that they would go to the principal to intercede, saying that they would let him go back to school again. But Chen Xi refused, not allowing them to do so.

It wasn't until his parents understood that they wanted to help him contact schools elsewhere that Chen Xi told them that Yang Zheng had always helped him to study on his own, that he had already completed the basic courses of junior high school and high school in prison, and that it was no longer interesting to go back to study now.

Of course, their parents thought that Chen Xi was comforting them, but the family was finally reunited, and everything would wait until the end of the New Year.

After three years, he celebrated the New Year at home again, although Chen Xi was emotional and excited, but the feeling was completely different, he no longer longed for the New Year and winter vacation as he did when he was studying before, all this is far away, and he has grown up. After the New Year, he will have to face society.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, his parents went to a neighbor's house to visit the New Year, and Chen Xi said that he didn't want to go out and watched TV at home alone. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and he looked over and couldn't help but be stunned.

Several beautiful girls stood outside the door, looking at him in a daze.

Chen Xi asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

At this time, a short man squeezed in from behind and said loudly, "Who are you looking for?" Chen Xi! You don't even recognize us? ”

Chen Xi took a closer look, this "short man" is not short, because he is taller, so he looks a little short, although this person's appearance has changed a lot, but Chen Xi still recognized him as his best friend Zhang Xueyou.

"Zhang Xueyou?"

"Wow, you're patriarchal! I can recognize Zhang Xueyou, but I can't recognize us! The other girls said it.

Chen Xi was already a little impressed, knowing that they were all former classmates, so he hurriedly invited them in, and then said with a smile: "It's not that I don't recognize you, but I didn't expect that a few little girls would all grow up and become beautiful!" ”

Everyone also replied: "You have become tall and handsome!" ”

Zhang Xueyou said with a smile: "I thought I would become an African when I came back, but I didn't expect to become a Russian!" ”

After everyone took a seat, Chen Xi recognized it for a long time, and then said the names of those female classmates one by one in everyone's laughter, and he suddenly found that these people were the ones who went to Tongtian Rock to play together last time, but Li Xiaotong was missing. Could it be that they came to visit them because of something that happened when they went out together? His heart suddenly lightened a lot.

"By the way, I haven't contacted anyone when I came back, you're all juniors in high school, and I don't want to bother you. How did you know I was back? ”

"Because I care about you very much! I was the first to know about your return, and I didn't have a holiday until these two days, and I didn't come to you until you had a few days off. Zhang Xueyou said exaggeratedly. After three years of not seeing each other, everyone was a little estranged at first, but it seemed that it was quickly overcome.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xi felt a little unable to interject, they didn't want to ask Chen Xi about his situation in prison, they were all talking about the college entrance examination, about pressure, about school, about future volunteers, etc. Later, when it came to Li Xiaotong, Chen Xi asked why Li Xiaotong didn't come? I thought to myself that anyway, you all think that you will go together and want to do your duty once, then she will also go together, and she should also go together.

Speaking of Li Xiaotong, Zhang Xueyou's expression was not so happy immediately, and he said coldly: "Leave her alone, let's come to see you, okay?" ”

Chen Xi was inexplicable and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you?" Do you have a conflict with Li Xiaotong? ”

"When people fall in love, they naturally have less contact with our old classmates." Zhang Xueyou snorted and said.

Leng Bingbing hurriedly said: "Listen to his nonsense! Xiaotong is not in the same class as us now, so we don't play together so often, and I haven't found him today. ”

Zhang Xueyou seemed to have something to say, but in the end he held back. He is not going well with Li Xiaotong now, in fact, it is mainly because of Chen Xi. Because in his eyes, Chen Xi and Li Xiaotong are like a couple, and Li Xiaotong should be Chen Xi's girlfriend. But later after going to high school, Li Xiaotong began to get very close to other boys, which made him very uncomfortable, and later it was rumored that she was dating and falling in love with a boy who studied well, which made him very upset for Chen Xi.

There are many old classmates who know Zhang Xueyou's thoughts, and many people misunderstand him and think that he is interesting to Li Xiaotong. Only Leng Bingbing knew his mind and knew that he was angry for Chen Xi, and she herself had a little bit of such thoughts, so Li Xiaotong, who was a few original friends, was gradually alienated.

Today, they are still looking for Li Xiaotong, but they can't find her when they call in the morning, so everyone didn't wait for her.

"Don't talk about Li Xiaotong, with you being so handsome now, hehe......" Zhang Xueyou diverted the topic, "I used to always be subordinate to you, but I have worked hard in the past few years, and you can't refute me as casually as before!" ”

Chen Xi immediately said: "Work hard? Then your family will be miserable! As for the first sentence, he only later figured out what Zhang Xueyou meant.

"Why is it that his family will be miserable if he works hard? Will he get into a very expensive university? One of the girls asked innocently.

Chen Xi smiled maliciously: "Of course it's not good to paint the wall with dung, he always makes dung to paint the wall, and it's strange that his father doesn't beat him!" ”

Everyone laughed.

The classmates thought that Chen Xi would repeat the third year of junior high school, but when Chen Xi said that he didn't want to study anymore, everyone felt very sorry.

Chen Xi felt that it was difficult for everyone to talk together, and everyone else also felt it, so he said goodbye and left. Chen Xi thanked them for coming to see her and wished them success in the college entrance examination.

The first day of the new year passed like this, Chen Xi has been thinking about his own way out in the future, he has been in prison, it is difficult to find a job nearby, even if the employer does not mind, it will not last long, so he will simply go to the coastal area in a few days. It is said that in Shenzhen, Dongguan and other places in Guangdong, factories are like forests, and ordinary workers go in very casually, where do you care what you have done before? As long as you can do something in the future.

In the evening, when Chen Qiao came back from outside, he seemed very excited, and as soon as he came back, he said: "I met an acquaintance outside today, and he brought me a letter for the Fang family." It turned out that Mr. Fang wrote it to us, and your grandfather asked him to tell us the phone number! It was the Taiwanese elder Fang who had come to our house before. ”

"American? Can we make a phone call at home? Chen Xi heard that it was his grandfather who had never met in the United States, and he was also excited, "I have to hurry up on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, they should still be thirty in the United States!" ”

"Can you fight, I went and asked. Your grandfather had already calculated that you were in prison last time, and maybe he would be okay with you now. Chen Qiao excitedly looked at the letter and dialed the number, and the phone was really connected, because he had never met this uncle and had never heard the voice, so he didn't know that he had found the right person after talking for a long time.

Chen Xi also talked to this grandfather who has always cared about him on the phone for the first time, and he had only read the letter before.

Grandpa knew that Chen Xi was fine, he was very happy and relieved, but for Chen Xi's future path, he suggested that Chen Xi come to the United States to follow his development.

Chen Xi discussed with his father, although his parents were reluctant, but this is indeed a good opportunity for children, many people are thinking of ways to go abroad, there is such an opportunity, of course, it cannot be missed.

So Chen Xi's family decided to follow what his grandfather said, first get a tourist visa, and then find a way to get a residence permit.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xi didn't have time to go to his uncle's house with his parents, and another guest came to the door, this time it was Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng took Yang Ting to see Chen Xi and thanked him. Chen Xi's parents already knew what had happened, so they were not very enthusiastic about Yang Zheng, so Chen Xi simply asked the two of them to go to his uncle's house and entertain Yang Zheng at home.

Yang Zheng's father and daughter carefully looked at Chen Xi's current appearance, and they all felt incredible, but they didn't expect that he had changed so much because they hadn't seen him for more than a year. Yang Ting graduated from high school last semester and is now a freshman.

After greeting politely, Yang Zheng took out a bundle of money from his briefcase, which made Chen Xi stunned.

"Don't get me wrong, this is not what I gave you, it is the government compensation that I brought you over." Seeing that Chen Xi didn't understand, Yang Zheng explained again: "Because after your case was overturned, it was a misjudgment, and this is the government's compensation for you to be imprisoned for three years, a total of more than 30,000 yuan." Not a lot, but you deserve it. ”

Chen Xihu looked at Yang Zheng suspiciously: "Officer Yang, I really suspect that this is your own money." You can't rely on your position to get here, right? ”

Yang Ting said with a smile: "Chen Xi, don't worry, this is really given to you by the government, and I can testify." My dad just took advantage of his position and connections to try to fight for you, and then brought it to you himself. Because I'm afraid that I will drag it off for a long time. ”

Chen Xi accepted it with emotion.

Speaking of Chen Xi's future plans, Yang Zheng can be regarded as a caring person, afraid that the local school will no longer accept him, and is ready to contact a school in the provincial capital for him to resume studying.

Of course, Chen Xi politely declined, thanked them for their strong help in studying in prison, and said that he had decided to go to the United States.

Now that Chen Xi has decided, Yang Zheng can't say anything. But he can do Chen Xi another favor, because applying for a visa abroad is an unfamiliar thing for Chen Xi, and he has great convenience. He promised to apply for Chen Xi's passport and visa to go abroad as soon as possible.
