Li Ran asked, "Why are you not looking for a partner, why do you pay attention to my soul?"

The girl smiled and said, "That's better than people like me, I hate my current self, I have nothing, I'm tired, and I don't even dare to say the word future." ”

Li Ran lit a cigarette and was about to speak, when the phone rang, he glanced at the number, it was his wife, he didn't answer it immediately, but deliberately waited for a few seconds, pretending that he wasn't playing with his phone all the time.

"Hey, Mom, call me now?"

"Good son, how are you doing over there?" He Fang asked with a smile on the phone.

Li Lan leaned against the wall, holding a cigarette in one hand and a phone in the other, and said with a smile, "It's not hot at all, it's even a little cold at night, covered with blankets, but you, pay attention to the heat, don't let the heat spoil, what are you doing with your father? It's eleven o'clock, why don't you sleep?"

Over the years, the old couple have gone to bed early and got up early, and it is rare that they don't sleep so late, and it is impossible to return the phone to him at this point.

He Fang said, "I woke up from sleep, ran to the toilet, and suddenly remembered something, squeaked with you, don't forget it." ”

Li Lan smiled bitterly, "Is there anything you can't say tomorrow? ”

He Fang said, "Your Uncle Liu Hai will invite you to dinner next month, and you have to come back." ”

"You also know it's next month, what are you anxious about now?" Li Lan finally understood what his wife meant.

His wife has always liked Uncle Liu Hai's daughter, Liu Bai, and said that she wanted him to go to dinner, and secretly hoped that he and Liu Bai would develop.

Their wife is kind, Lao Tzu has a big heart, and there is no family opinion, but their family calls themselves scholarly people, in order to match this title, he Lao Tzu put a whole building next to the house full of books.

His wife is building the country's largest university library and the country's largest digital library at Unilever University, which is completely open to the society, but digital books are currently in an embarrassing situation because of large-scale copyright infringement, and his wife is worried about this.

In the future, the so-called digital library may be reduced to a simple retrieval system.

From the heart of his wife, he still wants to find an intellectual family to be his in-laws.

Although Liu Hai is an official career, his wife is a well-known medical expert in the country, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law are the founders of the aerospace field.

And Liu Bai, a little girl, is much more competitive than Li Lan, her age is not much different from her major, but she is already a master of law from Harvard, and in terms of academic qualifications, the two of them are not of the same grade.

He Fang said, "Liu Bai has come back, I invited her mother to dinner with her in the evening, to tell you the truth, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, your little calf will have a snack, let me worry less." ”

They can marry a daughter-in-law in a family like this, but it is very difficult to find a satisfactory one.

The two of them are classmates with bangs, and they haven't broken off their relationship after leaving the society, putting aside money, the two families know each other, and the little girl is beautiful and motivated, which is just suitable and can not be more suitable.

She was very satisfied with her arrangement.

Li Lan said, "I'll see what time it is, Mom, I'll tell you the truth, don't have such big hopes, people don't necessarily look down on me." ”

Their family is rich, it's not fake at all, but the conditions of Liu Bai's family are not bad, she is in charge of the party, and the family is already at that level, and money is at most the icing on the cake for them.

He Fang said, "Don't fix those useless, are you looking down on your Lao Tzu?" call me in advance when you come back, your Uncle Liu is out of town now, and he has very little time to go home, so he has to make arrangements in advance, understand no, you stupid boy, okay, I'll tell you so much, you just know it in your heart." ”

"Understood. Li Lan hung up the phone unhurriedly.

In fact, there is a spectrum in his heart, maybe it is the wishful thinking of the old lady, the Liu family agrees to it is unknown, the key is that he knows that his Lao Tzu is not very happy.

His opinion is the most important thing.

As far as he knows, he is very unhappy with bangs, and to this day, the two of them can still pinch each other.

As long as these two people are in the same room, it is difficult for outsiders to imagine that all swear words with genitals will come out of the mouths of provincial leaders and tycoons, and they simply can't get into their ears.

The girl stared at him on the phone all the time, saw him hang up the phone, and brought the brewed tea to him.

"Thank you. Li He took a sip of tea, his throat that was steamed dry by the steam room finally became a little more comfortable, and asked with a smile, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you have read a book, how to speak is still a set." ”

The girl smiled, "If I had read a book, where would I have had the opportunity to appear here and tell you this." ”

She picked up the cigarette case in Li Lan's hand without any scruples, lit a cigarette in front of him, and said with a smile, "But occasionally I also turn through some books, and I will write down good sentences. ”

Li Lan was stunned, he didn't expect her to tell the truth, since he said it so sincerely, it meant that there was no hope for him, and asked with a smile, "How do you know that I don't pity Xiangxiang and cherish jade?"

The girl said, "You said that the first time you came here, I started to pretend to be you, but now I think it's true." The old fritters came to the bathhouse and spent money, whether it was on the lips or on the hands, they always refused to be honest.

If you don't understand the Tao inside, how can you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

She smiled, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.

"If you don't understand the doorway inside, you won't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Li He kind of broke the casserole and asked the end.

The two of them asked and answered, but it was like guessing a riddle.

The girl shook her head and said, "You don't understand what I mean, naturally you won't pity the jade, for example, now, do you understand what my needs are?"

Li Lan finally understood, it was nothing more than wanting money, which made him willing to be a Kaizi, but knowing the answer, he didn't want to say it clearly, which seemed too unkind.

If you really say it, the girl will reprimand him hypocritically, am I the one who values money so much in your eyes?

He took out the cigarette butt and said with a smile, "Interlacing is like a mountain, I don't understand, or you can get busy, I won't delay your efforts." ”

The girl asked, "Are you so ruthless, do you want to be rejected by you if you chat with you for free?"

Li Lan took out a few tickets from his wallet, handed them over, and said with a smile, "If you want to chat, then accompany me to talk about so much money." ”

The girl didn't answer, but said, "Why are you like this, I just want to chat with you." ”

Li Lan didn't insist, just stuffed the money back into his wallet, threw it on the bed, and then asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

The girl moved closer to him, "Why didn't you ask my name?"

"Then what's your name?" asked Li Lan.

"I hate it, if people don't say it, you won't ask?" the girl said angrily.

Li Lan shrugged, "Then it's not too late to ask, may I ask Miss Fang's name?"

"Na, seeing that you are so sincere, I will tell you," the girl did not continue to entangle, and said with her head held high, "Miss Ben's surname is Gao, Gao Siqi, have you remembered?"

"Gao Siqi, remember. Li Lan nodded.

Gao Siqi looked at Li Lanyi's appearance and asked, "Will you look down on me for doing this business?"

"How so?" Li Lan shook his head.

Gao Siqi continued, "Don't lie to me, I just think you look down on me. I'll be honest with you, if I hadn't forced it, I wouldn't have done this. In the past, this was a gold mining mecca, there were many gold mines, people from all over the world, and my family moved from the south, and I went to high school here.

It's just that later, the gold mine slowly dried up, my father's business was not doing well, and he made mistakes in investment, and he owed a lot of foreign debts.

It's not easy to find a job in a small place, not to mention that I don't have any education, so I can barely do this job. ”

She suddenly complained heartily, and Li Lan was skeptical, but he knew about the local gold mine, and he was no stranger to it, because this was the capital of his uncle to brag about when he went out.

Whenever people want to ask him where his uncle is from, his uncle says Huma, but not everyone knows where Huma is, and even the location of the Great Xing'an Mountains is not clear.

Huma gold mining has a history of 100 years, since ancient times there is "black water inlay, gold paving" said, the earliest gold mining site is mainly in today's Mohe, and then slowly expanded to Huma.

He smiled, "Yes, none of them are easy, why don't you go out to see, after all, there are more opportunities than at home." ”

Gao Siqi slowly approached Li Lan, put her hands on his shoulders, and when she saw that he didn't move, she leaned her head up, and said in a low voice, "We are originally outsiders, there are no relatives here, and there are no relatives outside, I go out alone, my mother will definitely not worry." Besides, my dad drinks like that every day, and I don't feel at ease, I still have to work hard and earn money to support my family. ”

Li Lan said, "Well, then come on." ”

When he was watching "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", his wife was next to him, and she deliberately repeated the lines in front of him: Women's words, don't be gullible, especially beautiful girls, who are especially good at deceiving people.

He didn't take it as truth, but he occasionally tried to confirm it.

Gao Siqi's phone rang, and after connecting it, he said a few words on the phone, hung up the phone, and then said to Li Lan, "I'm sorry, the leader urged me, I have to go, continue to go to the clock." ”

Li Lan put on slippers, sent her to the door, and after watching her carry a small bag into a room at the end of the corridor, he closed the door, lay on the bed and didn't think about anything, did nothing, and fell asleep with a stuffy head.

The next morning, the first thing he did when he got up was to look at his phone, and it was only seven o'clock.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, my stomach was empty, and I was really hungry.

I put on my clothes and went downstairs to pay at the counter, but was rejected by the cashier.

The cashier smiled and said, "Mr. Li, if you have something to do, just go out, Brother Fang has already arranged everything." ”

"Thank you then. Li Lan was not polite, walked out of the bathhouse, and looked up to see that there was a sheep soup restaurant on the other side of the road.

The sheep soup restaurant is not big, except that there are six tables inside, and there are also four tables outside, and he didn't go in, just sat outside.

Golden daylight shone from the leaves onto his desk.

At the door was a big cauldron, full of soup, and the boss was busy with his work, beckoning, "What are you eating?"

Li Lan said, "Three baked cakes, a bowl of noodle soup." ”

When the lamb soup noodles came up, he took chopsticks and stirred them twice in the bowl, and before it was cold, he first drank a big mouthful of soup, ate a bite of noodles, took a bite of cake, and chewed while looking at the bustling road.

"Hey, are you having breakfast here?" Gao Siqi suddenly stood in front of him.

"Huh?" Li Lan was very surprised, he didn't expect to meet again, "You work so late, don't sleep for a while now?"

Gao Siqi shook her head, "My aunt is going to the hospital for a follow-up examination this morning, go home to pick her up first, and then send her to the hospital." Just stop the car at the door, just saw you, came to say hello to you, nothing to do, you are busy first, I will go first. ”

Li Lan couldn't understand her changes, judging from last night's conversation, she was clearly a cheerful and straight person, but she didn't expect that she had become a twist and pinch now.

He politely asked, "Do you want me to drive you?"

Gao Siqi waved his hand and said, "No need, thank you." ”

Li Lan said, "I'm serious. ”

Gao Siqi pursed her lips, hesitated, tightened the single bag on her shoulders, twisted her hands together, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really possible?"

"Boss, another bowl of mutton soup and two cakes. Li Lan drank the mutton soup in the bowl, took the last cake in the basket in his hand, stood up, and said to her, "You eat something first, I'll pick up the car, wait." ”

"Thank you then. She watched Li Lan leave.

Li Lan re-entered the bath, leaned on the counter with both hands, and asked, "Who parked the car last night?"

The waiter smiled and asked, "Boss Li, do you need a key?"

Li Lan nodded, "Yes." ”

The waiter dialed a phone call, and within two minutes, a security guard walked in and brought the keys.

Li Lan took He Anwen's car keys, thanked him, and walked out of the bath.

He An's car is inconspicuous and looks like a Passat.

Li Lan drove the car to the door of the sheep soup restaurant, and without waiting for Gao Siqi to greet him, he got out of the car first.

smiled, "Don't worry, we'll leave after eating." ”

"Will you eat another cake?" Gao Siqi said, "I can't eat so much." ”

"Okay. Li Lan picked up another piece of cake. The cake looked big, but it was actually thin, he smeared the chili pepper, rolled it back and forth, and got down in a few bites, and saw that she had drunk half a bowl of soup, so he went to settle the bill with the boss first.

After she had eaten well and the two of them got into the car, Li Lan drove the car out of the city according to her instructions, traveled another ten miles, turned a small road, and entered the tunzi in the countryside.

The buildings in Tunzi are scattered, and along the way, I only see three or five households.

He parked his car at the door of a tiled house, which had three large rooms, and at the door was a vegetable shed, and on both sides were cowsheds and chicken coops.
