Chapter 278 "Do you regret it?"
The word "let down" is originally a double-edged sword, which harms others and does not benefit yourself.
When he said the word "let down", he must have felt very, very guilty.
"Do you regret it?"
Regret?
This sentence seemed to be asking herself, and she had asked herself more than once whether she regretted it or not, but the answer was no.
"No regrets."
Tong Xin's answer was the same as hers. In fact, people are the same and different. It has nothing to do with age or identity.
He has no regrets, and of course he would not regret it if he were to do it all over again.
What he regretted was that he did not give them an explanation, and he also regretted that he did not take responsibility.
The childlike innocence at that time was really like an extremely insecure child, longing to be loved but not understanding love.
The old lady replied calmly:
“Everyone has regrets. Without regrets, life is meaningless. The most important thing is to let go of the past and face the new life bravely.”
Yes, like her, escape is never a solution.
No one has ever said this to him, and no one has ever told him that letting go is the true responsibility.
To face it is to take responsibility, to bear it is to take responsibility.
There are many turning points in life, and the next intersection may not be the best, but it will definitely be better than the current one.
Tong Xin seemed to understand. He nodded and continued eating.
That was the first and only time the old lady asked about his past.
He didn't know any stories about her, but he must have known that there were stories here.
She doesn't look like someone from this mountain, but she looks very much like someone here.
After dinner, Tongxin sat on a bamboo chair at the door, looking up at the night sky, which was quiet and distant.

This went on for about a year, working from sunrise to sunset.
When I have nothing to do, I go to the mountains to pick some mountain products, take care of the vegetable garden, and occasionally go fishing and catch wild rabbits to bring back for my grandma to eat.
With him around, ordinary days become extraordinary.
In addition to chopping firewood and cooking, I also go to the village entrance to fetch water. In the past, the water tank at home was always empty, but now it is full every day.
He was getting more and more adept at this kind of rural life, as if he had always been here.
Now he is wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants, which is completely different from the big boss who was dressed in a suit before.
Tongxin's hair has grown longer and is no longer the neat short flat style it used to be.
His hair is longer than his ears and is lightly tied up, showing his unruly and free nature, exuding a unique artistic atmosphere.
He is still very handsome now, although he looks nothing like before.
The feeling of elegance and casualness blended together is a natural handsomeness, completely unpretentious.
This well at the entrance of the village is really very historical. How many generations of people has it nurtured?
This place has not been destroyed by industry and still retains hundreds of years of customs.
In fact, this is also good. Don't forget your original intention and stay calm and far-sighted.
There are hardly any young people in this town, and not many old people left.
This place will be forgotten sooner or later, maybe one day sooner or later, but sooner or later it will no longer be remembered and no one will care about it.
After Tong Xin finished fetching water, he found a metal bracelet on the ground.
It is not obvious in the gap of the stone steps, which obviously does not belong to this place, because it is a design with a youthful atmosphere.
A leaf and half a petal, a little niche and a little abstract.
He looked up and saw no one around.
Why do we say that this bracelet does not belong here? Because this place is remote, most of the elderly people will wear some old silver, that is, some Thai silver.
Thai silver is generally handicrafts, and it is rare to see such exquisite ones.
But now I couldn’t find its owner, so I could only put it in my pocket and carry the bucket back home.
The owner of this bracelet is Xia Qian, a jewelry designer.
She works in a jewelry company in Jingzhou, which is not far from here and is also a southern city.
That city is more developed, and of course it's a mixed crowd, and people there live a life of luxury.
She was originally from this small town, but she had been determined to leave the mountains since she was a child.
Xia Qian is very smart and very beautiful.
Her beauty is a little cold and calm.
She is very strong, probably because she grew up in this mountain.
Her hair is shoulder-length, soft and thick. She always has a hint of "coldness" and is mostly described as "arrogant".
In fact, she is not "arrogant", she is just not good at socializing with others.
She came from a poor family, but had a strong character.
People often describe her as a "strong woman", but in fact she is not that strong.
It has been said that everyone has a story. Her story is not tragic, but it is definitely not perfect.
In fact, there is no such thing as "perfection" in life. Just like what my grandmother said, "Regrets are life."
Since the day she walked out of the mountains, she made up her mind not to come back.
The world outside is so exciting and the pace is so fast that it leaves you no time to breathe.
In school, she was a hard-working and ambitious student, and she was admitted to university with excellent grades.
Being a jewelry designer has always been her dream. She likes to integrate what she sees and thinks, and she also wants to deliver the jewelry she designs to every corner of the world.
She doesn't have big ambitions, but she has her own small goals.
Later, she was specially recruited by HBQ Company. In her first month at the company, she designed the most popular jewelry for the company. That was her first time to show her talents.
Later she became the most promising designer in the company. Of course, people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.
She had just arrived and had no idea about the internal disputes and intrigues within the company.
So even though she is great at her job, her interpersonal relationships are really bad.
In the company, she is the odd one out who doesn't get along well with others; in life, she is the lonely traveler.
She has a hard time, so hard that she is like an ordinary worker.
In fact, her salary was very high, and she would receive a bonus from the company every time she designed a hit product, so it didn’t take her long to buy her own house.
In Jingzhou, she owns a small house of her own. Although it is only 90 square meters, it is really warm and full of hope.
It was really tiring for a little girl like her to struggle in a city without any connections or background.
She doesn't have a boyfriend, and of course she has always been alone and has no chance to meet one.
She works very hard and doesn't socialize. After get off work she takes some small orders and does some online designs. Although it's tiring, she feels fulfilled.
She spends most of her time at work, so she has nothing but extra money.
Of course, she came back this time because she was suspected of plagiarism and was suspended by the company.
The reason the company gave her was that it needed to be investigated and she had to wait for a month.
In the city of Jingzhou, no one had a say. She was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and could only wait for her fate.
At that time, Xia Qian was going through the most painful moment in her life, which was also the lowest point in her life.
It's like a stain that can't be erased or explained.
All her ideals and ambitions were shattered in that instant. For the first time, she felt powerless. That was a fact that could not be changed no matter what.
