Chapter III
I have three sworn friends.
Mosquito, 35 years old, drifts north, and is currently working as a secretary in a pharmaceutical company. At the age of twenty-six, he entered the palace of marriage, a year later his son fell to the ground, and three years later he succeeded in adding a daughter.
Kidney Bean, 35 years old, Nanpiao, is now the accountant of a beauty chain store with 13 branches. Two-thirds of the time each month is spent on business trips to various branches for accounting and collection, and the remaining one-third is spent preparing for business trips. After three years of marriage, due to too frequent business trips, the child was awarded by the judge to a father with a rich and stable life.
Garfield, 35 years old, lives in an upscale neighborhood three stops away from my home. Five years ago, she resigned from the public service to enter the children's training market, and with her extraordinary courage and ability, two years later, her Garfield International Children's Piano Training Institute became famous in the city and made a lot of money. Marital status is a bit complicated, in simple terms, it is separated without children.
I'm a fox.
The four of us represent the four most common marital conditions in today's society. No one feels pitiful, but everyone firmly believes that he is the one who has the most satisfactory life among the four.
I forgot who said that between women, once there is a dispute, either they will not get along with each other, or there will be you and no me.
Since none of us could convince anyone, and we really didn't want this friendship to be encroached upon by the world, we high-fived and swore an oath.
For the rest of his life, he didn't talk about marriage, he only talked about emergency relief and personal eating, drinking, and wearing.
After I lied to Nanako, the first thing I did was to issue a red alert in the WeChat group of the four of us: Sisters, life and death are at stake, please put down everything you should do or shouldn't do, and quickly recruit young men around us who are willing to marry for this fox. The operation was carried out at any cost, at no cost, and within two weeks, a man must appear next to Ben Fox.
Kidney Bean was the first to ask: Fox, do you have any taboos against young people?
Naturally, there are taboos, but now, it seems that I can't take care of it, so I knocked a sentence back: Well, it's okay if you're not so young, but please be kind and don't get too old.
The mosquito added a smile on his face, with a sentence: Fox, dead wife, child, bald, you can come and not refuse?
Although I am a temporary worker, I also enjoy the treatment of state-owned enterprises, and I am physically and mentally healthy, dignified in appearance, and I have a house and I don't hate to marry, how can I not refuse to come to crooked melons and cracked dates?
If I hadn't been forced to go to Liangshan and there would be no way out, I would have fallen into the grass and frantically searched for a husband?
I gritted my teeth and replied painfully: Yes.
Garfield immediately presented three dog heads: the fox, who choked to death when he was hungry.
This concern is likely.
I hesitated and looked up at the chandelier, Chen Zheng was like a ghost, smashed down from the white swaying ceiling, I trembled, suddenly woke up and trembled and replied: Choking to death is stronger than the ghost's upper body, sisters, the time for selfless dedication has come, action.
Three days later, I finally understood a truth: around a woman who is not in a satisfactory marriage, in addition to crooked melons are full of cracked dates, don't be delusional, thinking that you can find an apple from it.
I collapsed on the one-meter-eight bed in my 70-square-meter apartment, looking at the photos sent by Kidney Bean and Garfield, and my heart was completely dead.
As the only woman among us who is married well, the mosquito water is a lot more accurate, but I really don't have the mind of sister and brother love, not to mention the wave she introduced, either nine years old or eight years less, this distance, I am confident that I can't hold it.
Nanako just called me in the morning and said that Aunt Chen Zheng hinted through her aunt that she wanted to go to the house to sit.
Nanako was 200% satisfied with this hint: "Daughter, one more choice, one more guarantee for happiness." It's also good to sit. ”
Chen Zheng, a poisonous snake, deserves to be the leader of the singles world, and he can strangle my marriage by the throat as soon as he makes a move.
I knew that Nanako was emotionally moved and reasoned: "The Ruyi Langjun we are waiting for is a beautiful man with a solid family, high-end taste, and young and promising." He doesn't do anything that he wants, is it appropriate for me to do that?"
Nanako was skeptical of my words: "Your father and I have endured the white eyes and ridicule of relatives and friends for your personal problems. You don't have to bring people back next weekend, just this weekend. Otherwise, I will inform your aunt and let Aunt Chen Zheng come to the house to sit. ”
Garfield made a pitiful cry: Fox, will you die if you don't do it? There is not even a decent man around, you are still a beautiful man with a solid family, high-end taste, and young and promising. Eldest sister, please be sober, if there is such a man, I will only keep it to myself without hesitation.
Kidney Beans jumped out: Garfield, are you separated or divorced, you leave it to yourself, that's a crime. You give it to me, I'm divorced, I'm legal.
The mosquitoes can't stand it: don't make any noise, you don't see the fox at a loss.
I was grateful, and replied with a smile: it's still mosquitoes that are interesting enough.
The mosquito spat out a bubble: You're welcome, I just want to sit quietly and wait for Nanako to tear the fox.
These are my best friends, and they choose to gloat when I am about to be devoured by misfortune. At that moment, I had the heart to destroy them, and it was also at that moment that the other half of my story was about to appear.
But no one has the ability to predict the future, and neither do I.
After being ridiculed by the three of them, I was only depressed, and as soon as I was depressed, I wanted to sleep. When you wake up, the hour hand overlaps with the minute at six o'clock. I got up and changed into clean clothes, and was about to go out and turn left to go to the alley wonton shop to finish dinner.
The phone rang.
Looking down, a string of unfamiliar Arabic numerals jumped happily on the screen of the phone. I have a habit of not answering strange calls, and I press the phone directly with a thumbs up. But in a second, the number came in again.
I hesitated, and the ghost sent me to answer.
"Are you Wu Xiaoqi?"
A strange man with a deep, mellow voice.
I mumbled, "Yes." ”
"I'm in the downtown cinema waiting area, on the left. I was wearing a black tweed coat with a black hooded sweatshirt underneath, black sweatpants underneath, and black shoes. I bought the ticket, 8:15. You don't want to be late. I don't like unpunctual women. ”
I was a little confused, this phone call sounded like a hot-tempered boyfriend who was not patient enough to give orders to his girlfriend, and it was also like an extremely unfriendly blind date code.
But these two have a relationship with the current me that can't be beaten. Come to think of it, there is only one explanation, the woman this man wants to meet has the same name and surname as me.
In the world, although it is not uncommon to have the same name and surname, it is also a kind of fate.
He kindly replied: "Sir, this Wu Xiaoqi is not Wu Xiaoqi, you made the wrong call." ”
"Wu Xiaoqi, 35 years old, single, temporary worker ...... state-owned enterprises"
As soon as I finished speaking, the man on the other end of the phone, like an emotionless announcer, crackled and accurately reported my personal information.
I was dumbfounded, and cursed in my heart: Find me such a ...... Not gentle and inconsiderate...... Goods, who wants to harm this fox?
Mosquito or kidney bean? Or Garfield?
