Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"I suddenly understand why you went back to your hometown to be a grassroots Civil Servant."

Wang Xiaoqian's comprehension was still very strong; she said:

"Actually, life lies in the experience of the process, not in what kind of result you get, right, Brother Xiao Hua?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled and nodded:

"Right, so whether it's pain or joy, enjoying the process will always be far better than hesitating, shrinking back, and sinking into internal consumption!"

Niu Lin Xin, however, didn't understand Wang Xiaoqian's worries; she couldn't help but say:

"Xiaoqian, you've already tested into University, what else is there to worry about? Not like me, still struggling for the College Entrance Exam, that's real worry, because my foundation is bad, no matter what I study, I learn it with great difficulty!"

Ordinary people who haven't experienced what others have experienced find it hard to feel the same about others' worries; just like the older generation facing the yellow earth with their backs to the sky day in and day out, they find it hard to understand what young people have to be depressed about when they sit in an Office blowing Air Conditioner and get the work done.

Because Niu Lin Xin's various blind foldings led her to go to a repeat School to study, she would take the College Entrance Exam a year later than Wang Xiaoqian, meaning she hasn't entered University yet, so naturally she wouldn't know what Wang Xiaoqian has to worry about even after testing into such a good University.

Actually, never mind Niu Lin Xin not being able to feel the same because she hasn't entered University; even if she had entered University, as long as she wasn't studying medicine, she probably still wouldn't be able to feel the same about Wang Xiaoqian's ordeal.

In that era, aside from those studying medicine, the ordinary majors at most other ordinary institutions were really watered down, especially some liberal arts majors; whether it was academic requirements or Undergraduate Thesis requirements, it was almost all just going through the motions.

So many people in University really just enjoyed their youth; they traveled if they wanted to travel, dated if they wanted to date, even had time to form bands, do Entrepreneurship, write novels, etc., and only in the one or two weeks near Final Exams would they suddenly work hard, then get through the exams.

Niu Lin Xin's current worry is that she wants to study seriously, but discovers she has fallen behind too much; even repeating a Grade, she still can't catch up to others' pace.

"Brother Xiao Hua, do you have any methods to improve study efficiency? Please teach me, I want to get good Grades/Scores on the College Entrance Exam this year, I don't want to disappoint my dad again!"

Niu Lin Xin sincerely begged Wang Xiaohua with her eyes.

Ever since she learned her dad had Cancer, she seemed to have grown up overnight.

Because she knew her dad's time was not much left.

For nothing else, just so her dad could see her test into a good University before he left, so he wouldn't have to worry about this unfilial daughter even at the moment of his passing.

Wang Xiaohua looked at Niu Lin Xin, couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

She only has a few months left until the College Entrance Exam now; in such a short time, wanting to make huge progress is probably unrealistic.

Because studying isn't something where you suddenly work hard once and get results, unless you're a one-in-ten-thousand aptitude freak in this world.

But obviously, Niu Lin Xin is not only not an aptitude freak, she doesn't even reach the level of a normal person.

Wang Xiaohua could only comfort her:

"Don't panic, you need to build a solid foundation first; at this stage don't go drilling into difficult problems, memorize the basic stuff well, learn it well, use it well; at the College Entrance Exam, scoring around Five Hundred points should still be doable."

Niu Lin Xin was still at a loss:

"But how exactly should I study? I don't know; do I just grind through problems over and over?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"You go buy some supplementary materials specifically targeting basic knowledge, go through the basic knowledge once first; what you don't understand, ask the teacher; what you get wrong, write it down, compile an Error Notebook; every day when you Have Time, flip through the Error Notebook to review; every subject is pretty much studied this way; in One or Two Months there should be slight improvement."

Niu Lin Xin nodded:

"Okay Brother Xiao Hua, then when I go back to School, I'll use your method to study!"

Wang Dashan said at this time:

"There's a Haidilao up ahead, how about we go eat Haidilao together!"

Niu Lin Xin said instead:

"Brother Dashan, thank you, but I have no Appetite right now, and Haidilao takes a long queue, I don't want to waste too much time; I'll go back to the Hospital in a bit."

Wang Xiaoqian said:

"How about we just find a random noodle shop or Wonton Shop to eat our fill, then pack some to take back for Lin Xin's dad and your mom after eating."

Niu Lin Xin said:

"Let's go eat Congee, on the way back bring a lean Meat Congee for my dad; he can only eat light liquid food now."

Wang Dashan looked slightly disappointed:

"You two little girls really, take you to eat good food, but you refuse to go!"

But since both Niu Lin Xin and Wang Xiaoqian said so, he didn't say anything more.

So the five of them found a Congee shop nearby, each ordered a portion to eat, and incidentally ordered takeout for Niu Chunsheng and Li Xiulan to take away.

After eating, they took the two lunch boxes the Boss had long since packed and went back to the Hospital.

And at this time, inside the Hospital, Niu Chunsheng and Li Xiulan had already said a lot, but Niu Chunsheng still hadn't managed to say the words in his heart.

Niu Chunsheng received a WeChat from Niu Lin Xin on his Mobile Phone, saying they were on their way back and had packed lean Meat Congee for him; he knew that if some words weren't said now, there might never be a chance in this Lifetime.

So he knew the outcome, had originally planned not to say it, but after a round of hesitation and struggle, wanted to say it again.

This fits Niu Chunsheng's character very well; after learning he had Cancer before, he also chose not to treat it first, then chose treatment later.

This person had it smooth all his Life, and precisely because it was too smooth, he had actually never faced a truly painful choice.

And now that he faces this kind of painful choice, he's actually no different from an Ordinary Person; he would also hesitate and struggle, also repeatedly internally consume, even be full of gains and losses.

"Xiulan, actually, I've already Decided to Divorce Xiao Fang."

Niu Chunsheng mustered his courage and told Li Xiulan the truth.

Li Xiulan was Stunned:

"What?"

She thought she had misheard.

Niu Chunsheng smiled bitterly:

"I say I've already decided to divorce Xiao Fang."

Li Xiulan's face was full of surprise:

"Things are already like this, you should stop making a fuss, focus on treating your illness, don't go thinking about those random things, isn't it just that Xiao Fang has to take care of the child and can't get away to take care of you at the hospital, what's the big deal, you're a grown man, don't quibble with her over so much, just hire a caregiver."

Li Xiulan thought Niu Chunsheng decided to divorce Lin Xiaofang because he was sick, yet Lin Xiaofang didn't come to take care of him.

Little did she know this was one of the reasons, but not the root cause.

The root cause was that regret hidden deep in Niu Chunsheng's inner heart for many years, always making trouble.

Niu Chunsheng gave a bitter laugh:

"Actually, it's not this reason……"

Li Xiulan hurriedly chased to ask:

"Then what's the reason?"

Niu Chunsheng looked at Li Xiulan, took a deep breath, preparing to come clean.
