After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

There was no requirement for military training in universities during the Republic of China period. Generally, formal classes would begin directly after the orientation session.

Tong Jia is studying in the history department. Even if she doesn't work part-time as a librarian in the library, she will often go to the library for study needs.

Now that she has the identity of a librarian, as long as she does not leave the library with the books, she does not need to register with the library card to borrow books. She can just read them in the library and then return them.

Therefore, when Tong Jia has no classes, he basically stays in the library.

In addition to carefully studying books related to her major, she also did not forget the purpose of choosing to go to college.

Whenever she felt tired of reading and needed to rest her eyes, she would pay special attention to the students standing near the bookshelves of literature, history and philosophy, trying to find the kind of guide she wanted who could lead her into northern Shaanxi.

Unfortunately, she had been observing in the library for nearly two months, but she hadn't seen any students who made her feel particularly determined, so she didn't even have the interest to take the initiative to talk to them.

Just because she has no interest in this doesn't mean that others don't have any interest in talking to her.

Tong Jia, no, to be precise, it was Grandma Rong - Rong Xintong looked really good when she was young.

She has fair skin, beautiful eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth. In addition, the Rong family's years of education have made her dignified and graceful. When she stands in the library, she is a standard classical beauty.

As a girl who has received modern education, Tong Jia has a kind of unyielding tenacity in her bones.

Tong Jia's innate confidence and boldness, coupled with her beautiful face and dignified and quiet temperament, give her a beauty that is a fusion of the East and the West.

Many students who went to the library to borrow books couldn't help but take a second look at her.

The era she lives in now is the Republic of China!

College students in the Republic of China were truly extraordinary. Some of their concepts were so advanced and open that many college students a hundred years later might not be able to reach that level.

Look, only two months into school, Tong Jia has already received a whole drawer full of love letters.

Even when Tao Junle was getting his food in the cafeteria, he could hear people outside the window talking about Tong Jia.

At first he didn't understand what was going on. Whenever he heard someone praising Tong Jia, he would give the person who said it an extra half spoonful of vegetables. Whenever he heard someone insulting or slandering Tong Jia, he would give them more soup and less vegetables.

After figuring out what had happened, he treated everyone equally, regardless of whether they said good things or bad things about Tong Jia, and gave them all more soup and less vegetables.

Everyone went to Aunt Qi to complain, but Aunt Qi brushed them off by saying that Tao Junle was young and she liked to eat steamed buns dipped in vegetable soup, so she thought everyone liked it.

Although the incident in the cafeteria was not reported to the leadership, Aunt Qi still told Tong Jia about it.

It was also at this time that Tong Jia discovered that many people in the school were gossiping about her.

Ever since the beginning of the school year, when some classmates were jealous of her for not having to pay for meals in the cafeteria, she rarely went to the cafeteria to get her lunch box. Anyway, there was a microwave in the RV, so even if the food got cold, it was convenient to heat it up.

Normally in the classroom, people wouldn't gossip directly to her.

You have to keep quiet in the library, and even if you feel some strange looks, don't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, as time went on, the rumors became more and more unpleasant.

Not only did they spread gossip about her, but they also included Principal Qian and several other teachers in the school who were kind to her.

Tong Jia couldn't stand this.

After thanking Aunt Qi, she said to Tao Junle, "Le Le, go back to the dormitory first. I'll take care of something before you go back."

After saying that, he walked towards the girls' dormitory angrily.

Tao Junle was worried that she would be bullied if she was alone, so he jogged after her.

When they reached the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, Tong Jia suddenly stopped. When Tao Junle saw her, it was too late to stop and he bumped into her directly.

The soft touch instantly made the child's nose bleed.

Tong Jia thought he was hit by a car and didn't bother to find someone to settle the score. She quickly took Tao Junle to the infirmary for treatment.

After seeing Tao Junle's condition, the school doctor was still puzzled.

He said, "Where did this child hit? His nose is bleeding profusely, but there is no wound on his nose at all.

If he wasn't only seven years old, I would have thought it was just the beginning of puberty, the beginning of love, the beginning of spring..."

The school doctor was interrupted by Tao Junle pulling his sleeve before he could finish his words.

Tao Junle pointed at his nose and then at the vinegar-simmered tofu that the school doctor had just brought back, indicating that although his nose didn't hurt, it was sour.

The school doctor also felt that the child was too young to have had that kind of problem, so he went to get ointment for Tao Junle to apply.

Tao Junle obediently let the school doctor apply ointment to him, and at the same time made a pitiful expression to Tong Jia, which made Tong Jia laugh.

It’s not that Tong Jia has no sympathy, it’s just that Tao Junle’s look of acting pitiful and funny is quite cute.

The school doctor's words reminded Tong Jia, and after returning home, she hung a curtain between the two beds.

She had been negligent before, always feeling that Tao Junle's real age was the same as his appearance, and ignored his actual age and development.

We still need to pay attention to it in the future. As the saying goes, "When a boy grows up, he should avoid his mother; when a girl grows up, she should avoid her father."

Not to mention that she and Tao Junle are only siblings in name only and have no real blood relationship.

That night, neither Tong Jia nor Tao Junle slept well.

Tong Jia was thinking about how to clarify the rumors during class tomorrow.

Tao Junle kept his eyes on the newly hung curtain, thinking about the accidental touch this afternoon, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The two tossed and turned until the second half of the night before they slowly fell asleep.

But Tao Junle's unshakable biological clock was extremely punctual. He woke up when it was time to unload the truck at the canteen.

He sat up from the bed, stared at the curtain for a long time, then reluctantly got up and went to the cafeteria.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, he almost got scalded twice when he was getting boiling water for everyone today.

Aunt Qi was worried that he might get hurt, so she wanted to send him back to rest.

She said: "It's not easy for you to get up so early every day for several months.

Go back today, and I'll ask your brother Da Kui to bring the lunch boxes back to you two sisters later."

Tao Junle shook his head, indicating that he could do it.

Aunt Qi had been with him for quite some time and knew that although the boy was young, he had a lot of ideas.

Aunt Qi no longer persuaded Tao Junle to go back to the dormitory to rest, but started to watch him, keeping her eyes on Tao Junle, fearing that he would not be able to hold the kettle steadily due to his poor mental state and thus scald himself.

Just when the boiling water was finally poured and the cafeteria was opened to the students to get their meals, Tong Jia, who had not been to the cafeteria for almost two months, showed up.

She was holding a loudspeaker in her hand. After entering the cafeteria, she did not go to find Tao Junle, but walked directly to the table in the middle of the cafeteria, stepped on a chair, and stood on the table.

It is lunch time now, and the cafeteria is arguably the most crowded place in the school at this moment.

Tong Jia stood on a high place and saw two classmates in her class who might be the initiators of the gossip. Then she picked up the loudspeaker and tried calling "Hello, hello, hello, hello..."

Tong Jia said: "Dear classmates and teachers, good morning! My name is Tong Jia, and I am a freshman in the History Department this year.

I think many of my classmates here have heard of my name.

No matter where you heard it or why you heard it, today I want to explain it here.

I, Tong Jia, was able to enter Beiyang University by taking the exam and entering the school openly.

In fact, those who spread rumors can check my admission scores to see if I am qualified.

Of course, if someone insists on thinking that I am just a pretty face, have no real talent or knowledge, got in through a backdoor, and that my entrance exam results are inflated.

Then let’s wait for another two months until the final exam. I will use the final exam results to slap the faces of those rumor-mongers.

Also, I do seldom come to the cafeteria, because I have a younger brother who works there. He brings the food back, so I can spend more time studying.

But does not coming to the cafeteria give you a reason to guess that I am being kept by someone?

Finally, I know that many of my classmates envy me for being able to live in a single dormitory for faculty and staff.

But this is entirely because my younger brother is an employee in the school. He is still young and can't speak, so he needs me, his older sister, to take care of him.

Of course, this is indeed the special care the school gives us because they understand that my sister and I are alone and helpless.

But we also put in the effort. Whether it was my brother or me, we both tried hard to do the work assigned to us by the school, striving to be worthy of the school's care.

If anyone is jealous, you can also apply to the school.

I remember that in our school, as long as you work full-time at the school, you can apply for a dormitory.

I will only explain those rumors once today.

If similar rumors come out again next time, I will go to the police station to seek justice.

Okay, I won’t disturb the students while they are getting their meals.

You guys continue, I'm leaving first."

Then he jumped down from the table, touched Tao Junle's head, and said, "Work hard. I'm going to class first."

She knew who spread the rumor.

Yesterday, when she was about to reach the door of the girls' dormitory, she suddenly stopped. This was because the dormitory was an enclosed space. Even if the sound insulation was not good, it would be one-on-many if she went over there.

When the time comes and three people become a tiger, she will be the one to rush in and demand the punishment.

The final result can only be: the rumors slandering her have not been clarified, and she will be charged with another crime of school bullying.

Instead of being unable to defend yourself later, it is better to make a big deal out of it and respond positively.

In this kind of situation, the more humble and modest you are, the easier it is to handle.

The final result was exactly as Tong Jia expected.

Those bad rumors about Tong Jia in terms of boys and girls have indeed disappeared, and the issue of her academic performance can be verified by time.

But the gossip about Tong Jia did not stop.

But Tong Jia didn't want to refute the rumor this time.

Because of what she shouted with a loud speaker at the cafeteria table, she became a celebrity in the school.

Those who like her admire her courage in facing the rumors and like to go to the library more and more. There are even little fans who put small notes of encouragement in the books when returning them.

Those who disliked her loathed her even more. But they didn't want to alert the police. They could only say she was shameless, bringing up matters between men and women and lacking in upbringing.

A little fan girl tried to defend her, but because she was not good at speaking, she ran to the library crying. Tong Jia had to turn into a caring sister to comfort her.

The little fangirl, who had cried enough, asked: "Tong Jia, you are obviously not what those people say you are. Why didn't you clarify it this time?"

Tong Jia said: "Because last time it was just a rumor, all the information spread was fake. Even if I don't care, I can't let those who have helped me be discredited, and I can't let those who are worried about me feel uneasy.

But this time things are different. Regardless of whether they think I did the right thing or the wrong thing, everyone is just discussing the matter objectively.

It is normal to have two sides in evaluating a matter.

One man's poison may be another man's honey.

Those who think that what I did was right means that we have the same values and we can communicate more in our future life and study.

I’m not sure if those who think I’m wrong are really old-fashioned, but I’m sure they really can’t stand others living better than them.

Their disapproval is actually another way of praising my courage.

So why should I bother with those cowards who only dare to judge others' behavior behind their backs?"

"Good! Well said!" As soon as Tong Jia finished speaking, there was a burst of applause and cheers behind her.

Tong Jia and her little fangirl were both startled by the sound. The two people who were sitting on the stools immediately stood up and looked back.

There were three students in school uniforms, two boys and one girl, with books tucked under their arms and their hands clapping, standing about five steps away from Tong Jia.

Seeing that the three people's expressions were very sincere, without any hint of ridicule or sarcasm, Tong Jia smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Are you three here to return books?

Put the book down, register it in this notebook, and give me your library card so I can check it for you."

The three of them smiled and followed Tong Jia's instructions.

The girl came first. Tong Jia saw that her handwriting was elegant and beautiful, and she must have practiced writing well.

The girl's name is Gao Chong. Chong means to worship the ancestral temple and the state, and it also means high, respected, and admired.

Tong Jia felt that this girl must be very favored at home, otherwise her family would not have given her this name.

It was not until they got to know each other later that Tong Jia realized that the name Gao Chong was chosen by herself. Her original name was Gao Mengdi, which was also nice, but it meant that her parents dreamed of having a younger brother.

So she changed her name as soon as she started school, and her parents, who already had two sons, did not try to stop her.

It was also Tong Jia's speech that introduced her to Gao Chong, He Zhishu and He Zhicheng, brothers from the Department of Philosophy, as well as Pei Yingxue from the Department of Literature, the little fan who always encouraged her.

It was from this day on that Tong Jiacai, under the guidance of Gao Chong and the He brothers, began to touch the line she had always dreamed of climbing.
