Having said that, let’s stop here.

Tong Lu didn’t continue talking.

There are many things that Jiang Ruyi needs to figure out by himself.

It is up to her to decide how she wants to live her life.

No one else, not even the closest pillow person, can dominate her heart.

Jiang Ruyi looked dazed, looking at the shadow of the mountains in the distance, like a huge monster dormant in the darkness.

But in the mountain col, there is a flourishing world.

Is her current life just like the seemingly prosperous and lively scene in the mountain col, but in fact it is surrounded by various unknown challenges and pressures?

It doesn't mean that if the darkness around you doesn't exist, then it really doesn't exist.

"Lulu, thank you, I will think about your question carefully."

Tong Lu nodded and said, "Then let's bring the topic back."

"The first question you asked me just now is, what would you do if you suddenly learned that the people you have called mom and dad for more than 20 years are not your biological parents?"

"Now, do you have an answer to this question yourself?"

Jiang Ruyi was momentarily stunned by the question and opened her mouth, unable to speak.

My mind became a mess again.

Tong Lu let out a long sigh and looked at the twinkling stars on the horizon. The scene of saying goodbye to her biological mother for the last time flashed through her mind.

It has been so long that the memories have begun to fade.

It's like being covered with a layer of yellowing gauze.

If she had known at that time, it would have been the last time that mother and daughter would see each other in their lives.

Then she will not leave so easily. Even if she will face more darkness in the future, she will never leave and stay with her mother.

Stay with her.

Tong Lu said calmly: "Ruyi, do you know?"

"Sometimes, I really envy you."

Jiang Ruyi didn't know why and turned to look at Tong Lu.

"Because your biological parents are at least still alive."

"Alive...do you know what this means?"

When Tong Lu said this, he finally couldn't help but shed a tear.

But she quickly wiped it away.

"I sometimes dream that as long as my mom and grandma can live, even if we can't see each other in this life, I will be happy."

"As long as they are still living well in a corner of this world, I will know that I am not alone and my home is still there."

"I still have my family, and I am always loved and missed by my family."

She is different from Jiang Ruyi.

Jiang Ruyi knew the truth only after she had been with her adoptive parents since she was born and lived peacefully until she was this old.

And she is almost ten years old, and her emotions, outlook, and cognition have all been finalized.

He was suddenly taken away from his biological mother.

She stayed with her current adoptive parents in an awkward position that could not be tolerated by outsiders, like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

The difference is huge.

Although Tong Lu knew that her current adoptive parents regarded her as her own, she truly regarded them as her reborn parents from the bottom of her heart.

But after all, there is a layer of separation in the middle, making it difficult to be completely heart-to-heart and dependent.

It can be said that her life has been torn into two different lives since she was ten years old.

In countless sleepless nights, she hid under the quilt like an abandoned little beast.

Silently missing my mother whose life and death are unknown in the distance.

You have to remind yourself from time to time not to show off your flaws.

"Lulu……"

Jiang Ruyi's lips trembled and she could no longer speak.

His mind was like a bolt of lightning.

There were many things that I couldn't understand or think through before, like a mess of emotions.

At this point, it suddenly became clear.

Yes.

What is she struggling with? What to complain about? What are you anxious about?

Compared with Tong Lu, she is already one of the few lucky people in this world.

All the people she loves and those who love her are alive and well.

All within her sight range.

This is a hundred times more important than anything else! A thousand times! Ten thousand times!

What else is she asking for?

After Jiang Ruyi figured it out, his mind became clearer than ever before.

"Lulu, thank you!"

Jiang Ruyi gave Tong Lu a loving hug.

"Whenever you feel homesick, I will accompany you to visit your mommy and grandma."

"……it is good!"

Tong Lu hugged her back, with a hint of choking in his tone that was hard to detect.

*

In the next two days, Jiang Ruyi came even though she didn't want to, so she decided to relax and spend two days at the hot spring resort with the three little ones and Tong Lu.

After a while, he took the children back to the countryside.

However, this time we went to Grandpa Jiang’s farm.

It was the winter vacation, and the internet celebrity village where Grandpa Jiang was located had significantly more people than usual.

During lunch time, the occupancy rate of several farmhouses in the village was almost 100%.

Grandpa Jiang single-handedly changed the prospects and future of this village.

Nowadays, more and more young people are returning to their villages to start businesses.

There is a sense of prosperity everywhere.

Today is Grandma Jiang's birthday, and all the Jiang family members are back.

We also invited some close relatives and friends to come over.

During lunch, when Jiang Ruyi saw Wang Tingting limping at the dinner table, she felt like she was in another world.

Jiang Rubao came up to her and gloated: "She is not allowed to come out of the ancestral temple except to eat and sleep recently. She has been kneeling inside to reflect."

"Tsk tsk! Look at her legs. If she kneels down again, she probably won't be able to take it."

"Grandpa is really cruel to deal with her this time."

Jiang Ruyi knocked on his forehead and said, "Be careful, be careful not to be seen by your aunt and uncle."

"Cut~~"

Jiang Rubao frowned, "You see it when you see it. It's not me who did the wrong thing. I am open-minded in my heart."

"Besides, don't think I can't tell. They secretly put on grandpa's thick kneepads behind her back."

"Otherwise, do you think she can still walk out to eat by herself today?"

"I have a kind heart and am too lazy to expose them."

Anyway, he has better ways to deal with her, so there is no rush.

"I can't beat you." Jiang Ruyi smiled angrily.

Her mood had changed a lot in the past two days. After knowing her life experience, when she saw Wang Tingting again, her hatred seemed to have faded a lot.

After all, being separated by a layer, my expectations for her have been lowered, and it seems that I don't feel so sad anymore.

As the saying goes, if there are no expectations, there will be no disappointments.

It's not that sad, I just feel it's unnecessary.

From now on, just stay far away.

Wouldn't it be nice to focus on those people who are good to her?

Aunt Jiang and his wife were uncharacteristically low-key today.

During the meal, Grandpa Jiang announced that a good thing for his eldest granddaughter Wang Tingting was coming soon. Once the specific time was decided, he would notify all relatives and friends to attend the wedding.

Facing the congratulations from many relatives and friends, Aunt Jiang and his wife looked a bit forced to smile throughout the whole process.

After dinner, Aunt Jiang and his wife helped Wang Tingting to leave on the grounds that she was unwell, but they never saw anyone again.
