Chapter 79
According to Tong Rui's feelings for Han Ting in the novel, if Han Ting later went back to Tong Rui, Tong Rui would most likely still be willing to be with Han Ting.
Han Ting has never considered renewing his relationship with Tong Rui, probably because Tong Rui is much better in every aspect. She is only suitable to be his first love in his youthful memories, but not suitable to be with him in his life and into his family.
If she remains in the memories of youth, she will always be perfect, and that moment will always shine.
Once you enter a family, the enthusiasm and beauty of your youth will inevitably be wiped out by the dullness and triviality of life.
Moreover, Tong Rui is proud and strong-willed. It is impossible for her to become gentle, considerate and obedient after marriage. Naturally, she is not the best candidate to be a wife.
So later Han Ting returned to his normal life and chose Chu Xia as the supporting actress.
At that time, he already had a beautiful youth and a love that was heartbreaking. He just needed a family and an unknown woman to take care of everything in his life so that he could build his own career outside without any worries.
And this woman will not quarrel or make a fuss, she will just love and support him with all she has.
Now Chuxia will no longer be that person.
She didn't know how the relationship between Han Ting and Su Yun would develop in the future, nor did she know whether Han Ting would have anything to do with Tong Rui in the future, but she hoped Tong Rui could think it through.
Even if Tong Rui and Han Ting would never be together again like in the novel, she didn't want Tong Rui to be unable to forget Han Ting and keep him in her heart all her life.
She should love someone who deserves her love more and have her own true happiness.
Tong Rui was no longer in a hurry to find her father to ask for clarification.
She returned to the flower bed and sat down, looking at Chu Xia and said, "Actually... you like him too, right?"
As far as she could remember, Chu Xia always followed Han Ting silently and without any sense of presence.
Chuxia did not deny it.
She also sat down next to Tong Rui and responded, "Well, at that time you went to the army and he had to go to the countryside. Because I was an only child, I was lucky enough to get a job and stay in the city. But when I saw that you didn't want to go to the countryside with him, I took the initiative to sign up to go with him..."
Then Chuxia picked out what happened in the countryside and told Tong Rui in detail.
The main focus is naturally on the things between Han Ting and Su Yun - how Han Ting treats Su Yun differently, how much he has given to Su Yun, and to what extent their relationship has developed.
In the original novel, Tong Rui naturally didn't know about these things.
Chu Xia felt that the more she knew, the less fantasies she would have about Han Ting, and the more likely she would be to give up on him.
Tong Rui kept pinching her fingers while listening.
After listening, she looked at Chu Xia and asked, "So you don't like him now?"
Chu Xia looked at her and asked back: "After all this, can I still like him?"
Tong Rui took a deep breath, "He ignored me after he went to the countryside. I have been doubting and reflecting on myself. I think I am too boring and too reserved. I also control him too much, which makes him feel pressured when he is with me. That's why he treats me like that."
Chu Xia looked at her and said, "He feels pressured when he's with you. It's not because of your personality, it's simply because you're excellent. You have requirements, attitudes, and pursuits for life, while he's lazy and dissolute, not striving for progress, just for a good time. He can't compare to you and can't keep up with you."
Tong Rui smiled at Chu Xia, "Thank you for praising me so much."
Chu Xia said, "I'm not deliberately praising you to make you happy, I'm just telling the truth. Someone as outstanding as you shouldn't be hanging on his tree. I've invested as much love in him as you have, but I can see it so clearly. You're such a smart person, can't you see it clearly?"
Tong Rui laughed again, looking both bitter and relieved.
She took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for telling me so much. I understand everything I need to understand. I will think about it carefully."
She stood up and said, "I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time by running over here."
Chu Xia also stood up and said, "It's okay. I just told you so much because I don't want to see you continue to act stupidly. I know I'm a little nosy, but I still hope I can help you."
Tong Rui smiled and said, "Can I play with you again in the future?"
Chu Xia was happy to do so and nodded quickly, "Sure."
Chuxia had to go to work in the afternoon, so Tong Rui naturally didn't bother her any further.
Having said this, she left.
Chuxia walked her a few steps.
When I came back, I thought to myself - I hope she can listen to what she says.
The lunch break was not over yet, so Chuxia naturally went back to the dormitory.
I went back to the dormitory and went upstairs. Before I reached the door of the dormitory along the corridor, I heard excited and noisy sounds coming from her dormitory.
Chuxia walked into the dormitory with a puzzled look on her face, only to see four other girls surrounding Feng Jingzhi. She had no idea what they were looking at or talking about. All five of them were excited and even sounded envious.
Chu Xia walked over, stretched her head to take a look and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
The five girls looked at Chuxia together. The girl next to Chuxia said: "Jingzhi was admitted to the university and just received the admission letter."
Hearing this, Chu Xia couldn't help but get excited and asked excitedly: "Really?"
Feng Jingzhi nodded vigorously at her, "Yes, this is the admission letter!"
She handed the notice to Chuxia to read.
Then there was another burst of excited noise in the dormitory.

Assembly workshop of a watch factory.
All the workers were wearing white work clothes and working diligently at their workbenches.
It's time to get off work in the evening.
Everyone finished their work, cleaned up the table and went to the locker room to change clothes.
Lin Xiaohan had just changed into his own clothes when someone came to call him: "The factory director wants you to go to the office."
He responded, packed up his wardrobe, and went directly to the factory director's office.
He thought the factory director wanted to see him about something, but when he arrived at the office, he found Lin Bingwei inside.
It was natural to know at a glance that the person who was looking for him was Lin Bingwei, not the factory director.
Although he knew it in his heart, he did not say hello to Lin Bingwei.
He walked in, stood up to the factory manager, and asked him what he wanted.
The factory director and Lin Bingwei were sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
When he met Lin Xiaohan, he politely and enthusiastically asked Lin Xiaohan to sit down, then praised Lin Xiaohan in front of Lin Bingwei, and then gave his office to Lin Bingwei and Lin Xiaohan.
Lin Xiaohan didn't have anything to say to Lin Bingwei, so he didn't speak.
Lin Bingwei couldn't help but get angry when he saw his ugly face, but he didn't show it at this time. He just looked at Lin Xiaohan and said, "What's wrong? You don't even recognize your own father?"
Why are you talking such nonsense?
Lin Xiaohan didn't ignore him anymore and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Bingwei said, "I came to see my son. What do you want? I heard from people in your factory that you received an admission letter from Peking University yesterday, right?"
Lin Xiaohan looked at him and sneered.
Seeing him like this, Lin Bingwei suppressed his temper and said, "The New Year is coming in a few days, so you don't have to live in the factory anymore. Your mother has cleaned up your room, so go back to the dormitory and clean it up, and come home with me."
Lin Xiaohan sneered again: "Home? Where is my home? I don't have a home, and I don't have a mother."
This bastard is always unkind to people, and he never says anything pleasing to others.
Lin Bingwei's anger was rising, but he held back and said, "Okay, I'm here to apologize to you for the room. You smashed the ping-pong table and you were rude to me. Your stepmother came to see you before, and I'm here to apologize to you now. You should calm down now, right?"
Lin Xiaohan just found it funny.
He looked at Lin Bingwei and said, "Now that I'm no longer angry, what should I do next? Should I go back with you to get angry again?"
Lin Bingwei felt really speechless.
He suppressed his anger for a while and said, "Who is making whom angry? Who have you ever been nice to since you were a child? You act as if someone owes you eight million all day long, and you get mad when things don't go your way. Who can make you angry? Who dares to make you angry?"
Lin Xiaohan: "So you came to me to make me angry?"
Lin Bingwei: “…”
He slammed the table and said in a harsh voice: "I am your father, I came to take you home for the New Year!"
Lin Xiaohan: "You want me to go home for the New Year, right? Okay, ask Lin Haobo to let me live in his room. If I'm not mistaken, you should have bought him a new ping-pong table, and you can dismantle the table and throw it out. If you agree, I will go back with you."
Lin Bingwei's brows were furrowed into a small hill.
He looked at Lin Xiaohan for a while, "You have to live like this even though we have a good life, right? It's been so many years, and you just can't tolerate your stepmother and brother, right?!"
What a way to turn the tables.
Who can't tolerate whom?
There were plenty of rooms in the house, but after he left, they removed his bed, wardrobe, and desk, threw away all his things, and turned his room into Lin Haobo's table tennis room.
Just clean up a room and let him go back?
Send away the dog?
Lin Xiaohan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore.
He stood up from the sofa with a cold face and said, "If you can't do it, don't bother me."
After saying that, he turned and went to the office door.
Of course Lin Bingwei couldn't do it.
How could he bear to see his beloved son suffer such an injustice?
I usually hold it in my hands for fear of it falling, and put it in my mouth for fear of it melting. I can’t pamper it enough.
So he watched Lin Xiaohan walk out of the office.
I was so angry that I said to myself: "You don't know what's good for you!"
***
In early summer, I rode my bike to the entrance of the alley while ringing the bell.
Because it was already dark and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see people clearly in the alley, she got off the bike at the entrance of the alley and walked into the alley, pushing the bike.
It was a very cold day and there were not many people in the alley, so she didn't walk very fast.
But when he walked out of the gate of Yard No. 2, he was suddenly hit from behind by someone on a bicycle.
Fortunately, she let go quickly, and only the bicycle was knocked over, but no one was hit.
She was so scared that her heart almost jumped out.
When I turned around, I saw Jiang Jianping riding his bike back from get off work.
Jiang Jianping's bike didn't fall over. He quickly got off and parked his bike, then lifted Chuxia's bike off the ground and asked nervously, "Chuxia, are you okay?"
Chuxia shook her head and went over to look at her car.
Then he told Jiang Jianping: "The car is fine."
Jiang Jianping breathed a sigh of relief, "It was a little too dark, I didn't see you just now."
In fact, he was worried about something and was distracted after riding his bike into the alley.
Fortunately, nothing happened, and the two of them pushed the cart home together, chatting with each other.
When I pushed the cart to Yard No. 5, I happened to meet a neighbor coming out.
When the neighbor saw Chuxia, he smiled and greeted her, "The college student is back."
Then he asked Jiang Jianping, "Your Guanjie's admission letter hasn't arrived yet?"
Jiang Jianping's face suddenly showed embarrassment.
He laughed dryly and said, "Not yet... not yet..."
Hearing this, the neighbor naturally said, "He must still be walking on the road."
Jiang Jianping smiled and exchanged a few words with him, then got into the car and left with Chuxia.
I went back to my yard and parked my bike.
Jiang Jianping and Chuxia entered the second gate together, then went their separate ways and returned home.

Xu Lihua didn't have to go to work during the winter vacation and didn't go out today.
When Jiang Jianping lifted the door curtain and entered the house, she had already cooked dinner, so she went straight into the house and called Jiang Guanjie and Jiang Shan, asking them to come out for dinner.
The hot meal was served on the table.
The four of them sat down at the table one after another and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Xu Lihua suddenly remembered what she and Jiang Jianping had talked about yesterday, so she looked at Jiang Jianping and asked, "By the way, have you asked anyone? Is our Guanjie studying at Tsinghua or Nankai?"
When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Jianping suddenly looked as if he couldn't even eat.
He looked at Jiang Guanjie, then at Xu Lihua, took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk after dinner."
Xu Lihua couldn't wait until the meal was over, so she just said, "Let's talk now."
Jiang Jianping couldn't help but take a breath again, and before he could say anything, Jiang Shan suddenly said, "Looks like no one passed the exam."
Hearing this, Xu Lihua frowned instantly.
She looked at Jiang Shan with displeasure, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you can't speak, shut up!"
Jiang Shan curled her lips and said nothing more.
Jiang Jianping was silent for a while, then said, "Shanshan is right."
When Xu Lihua heard this, she didn't frown but was stunned.
Of course, Jiang Guanjie, who had always been confident in himself, was just as stunned as her.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Lihua put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "How is it possible?!"
Jiang Jianping suddenly became a little irritable and annoyed, "The district has announced the admission list, and Guanjie's name is not on the list!"
Xu Lihua looked at Jiang Jianping and felt like her brain was exploding.
After a long moment she insisted, "That's absolutely impossible. It must be a mistake!"
At this time, Jiang Shan suddenly whispered, "Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Nankai University are all top-notch schools. It's normal that my brother couldn't get in. You should have signed him up for a backup."
Xu Lihua suddenly exploded with anger and said, "What do you know! Your brother is only qualified to attend these schools! Even Tang Chuxia from the north room was able to get into Peking University, how could our Guanjie not be able to get in?"
After being scolded twice, Jiang Shan also lost her temper. She pursed her lips and yelled at Xu Lihua: "That's what you think! The school hasn't compared grades in the past ten years. What makes you sure that my brother can pass the exam?"
Xu Lihua: "I'm a teacher. How could I not know what the past ten years have been like? I just know that the school doesn't encourage learning. Few people study at all. Moreover, most of the candidates have not touched books for many years since they entered society. They have very limited time to review. However, your brother never lags behind in reading and doing exercises. He also reviews a month in advance. How could he fail the exam?!"
Jiang Shan: "Because he is just an ordinary person with an ordinary brain! Because he doesn't like studying as much as you think, and he doesn't study as seriously as you think! He usually just pretends to be good to you! When he did well on a simple test paper, I gave it to you to look at twice, and you really thought he was a genius! You said he was a genius every day, and he really thought he was a genius! Now it's good, his true colors are revealed!"
Xu Lihua was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She suddenly lost control of her emotions, slammed the table, and yelled in a tearing voice: "Jiang Shan!!"
