Chapter 42: The Uninvited Guest
My cousin introduced me to a man, surnamed Mou, thirty-nine years old, divorced, and a ten-year-old boy who followed his ex-wife, according to my cousin, this man is a local, works in a light administrative unit, has a very stable income, has a car and a house, and in short, the comprehensive conditions are very good.
I don't judge people by their appearance, I am also an ordinary person, and I am so old, it is impossible to be so naΓ―ve, so since I want to find someone to marry and live in a down-to-earth manner, I didn't ask him too much about his appearance characteristics, but I just asked my cousin how her temper is, whether she has any bad habits and the like, and my cousin said no.
Mr. Mou's mother and my cousin live in the same community, and the two old ladies often dance together when they are fine, so familiar, Mrs. Mu often asks my cousin to help her divorced son find a suitable partner recently, so my cousin thinks of me.
In this way, I met Mr. Mou.
Although I don't judge people by their appearance, before we met, I routinely asked my cousin, surnamed Mu, how she looked?
My cousin said that this person is not ugly, but because his life has always been relatively leisurely, he is a little wide and fat, and he looks white and fat.
I was a little prepared at the time, and I thought that this man must have been a little blessed, but when we actually met, I was still a little surprised.
At that time, we met at about 3 p.m. on a Saturday on the second floor of one of the more famous teahouses in the area.
On that day, I dressed up and arrived at the teahouse in advance, and sat on the second floor while drinking tea while waiting for Mr. Mou's arrival.
On the second floor of this teahouse, when people come up from the stairs, they have to pass through a screen, and I just stare at the screen when I have nothing to do, because I see that the time is almost up, and I guess that this Mr. Mou should come.
Sure enough, as soon as three o'clock arrived, this Mr. Mou really floated in, as soon as he came in, I recognized him, the reason is obviously also funny, because he has a huge beer belly, at that time, it can be said that others have not completely stepped out of the screen, the belly has already shown the first mountain dew from the side of the screen to show the clues, if he is a woman, just by the shape of his belly, he looks like he is about to give birth.
This Mr. Mu is not only white and fat, but his head is also slightly bowed, and his height looks a little more than one meter seven, but this weight definitely looks like it is more than the height number, not to mention one hundred and ten pounds.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but smack my tongue secretly, this person was not a little fat, as my cousin said, but really fat.
But since I'm here, I have to talk to people about it, so I put on a professional smile and took the initiative to wave to him.
Mr. Mu recognized me at a glance, because he had talked to me on the phone before he came, and I told him what color of clothes I was wearing today, and even what color bag I was carrying, so at this moment he walked up to me with a smile and sat down, and said a few polite words to me, and then cut to the topic.
The first question he asked was, "Miss Wei, how old are you this year?"
Hearing him ask like this, I felt a little unhappy, wouldn't he ask my age before the blind date?
But I politely replied to him: "Oh, I'm thirty-five years old this Chinese New Year's Eve."
Mr. Mu nodded slightly, squinted his eyes and muttered with a smile: "This age is not too young for a woman!"
When I heard this, I felt even more uncomfortable, saying that I am not young, isn't he almost forty?
I glanced at the surname Mu and didn't speak.
Perhaps seeing that I looked a little displeased, he smiled again and changed the subject at the right time: "Oops, it's so hot today!" As he spoke, he moved his belt.
I knew that a fat man like him would be very uncomfortable if he didn't loosen his belt when he sat down, so I couldn't see it at all.
Next, Mr. Mu asked me again: "I heard that the reason why you divorced your husband was because he cheated?"
Hearing this, I was a little surprised, and looked up at the surname Mou, I thought to myself that my cousin aunt is really true, she really knows everything about the other party, and even told the other party the details of my divorce.
But since the other party asked here, I couldn't pretend not to hear it, so I nodded at him lightly and said, "Yes, I was caught red-handed, I can't stand this kind of behavior, emotionally, I have a little cleanliness, so I filed for divorce." β
Hearing me say this, this Mr. Mu immediately seemed to have found a bosom friend, and said to me with wide eyes: "Me too! I can't stand this kind of behavior either! I also have a habit of cleanliness emotionally, and the experiences of the two of us are really very similar!"
When I heard this, I was a little surprised, looked at Mr. Mu, and asked him softly, "You are also because of the other party...... cheated and divorced her?"
Mr. Mou nodded affirmatively at me, and said indignantly, "Yes!"
I smiled helplessly, and then asked him, "You said that the two of us had similar experiences, could it be that you also ...... them on the spot." Caught?"
Mr. Mu glared at me and replied, "But no? I always suspect that she has a bad relationship with a man in their unit, and she always chats with those people on the phone after work, and when I ask her what she is talking about, she says it's about work, and then I go out to party with them, and I follow her several times......
This time, my interest was piqued, and I quickly asked, "Then what did you see?"
Mr. Mu rolled his eyes and said, "I saw her and her group of fox friends and colleagues partying!"
"Is it a group, not a single one?" I was a little puzzled.
"The man was there, too, but there were other colleagues around. Mr. Mou replied to me in frustration.
I was a little disappointed to hear this, and I muttered to him, "If there were other people around, it wouldn't be a problem, would you?
Mr. Mou shook his head decadently, "No," and then said to me unconvinced, "If they really want to do that, how can I catch them?"
After talking for a long time, this Mr. Mou suspected that his ex-wife's cheating was completely chasing after the wind, and at this time I had completely lost interest in continuing with him, because I had already faintly smelled the extreme taste in this Mr. Mou.
But in order not to make it too difficult for the introducer's cousin and aunt to be there, I still had a few words of greeting with this Mr. Mou, and I asked him casually: "You are divorced for this reason?"
"yes," he told me with wide eyes, "she has such a wide social circle, I think she's not decent!"
I smiled helplessly and muttered, "But you don't have proof!"
"My instincts don't lie to my ......," Mou insisted.
I shook my head with a wry smile helplessly, and was wondering what kind of excuse to find to get up and say goodbye, at this time Mr. Mou said to me again: "So I decided to look for it again this time, if the other party is unmarried, it must be a virgin!
Hearing this, the tea in my mouth almost squirted out, I looked at Mr. Mou and asked him directly: "Then you still come to meet me? Don't you know my status as a divorce? My children are more than ten years old!"
Mr. Mu hurriedly smiled and said to me: "Look, aren't you introduced by my mother's friend Aunt Xu?
Damn! I cursed in my heart! It turned out that such a small-bellied chicken intestine, suspected of cheating on his wife, but couldn't even catch the evidence, and looked like he was about to give birth, and the dead fat man who looked like he was about to give birth actually agreed to meet me in order to sell my aunt a favor?
At that moment, the anger in my chest soared to the top of the day, I stood up with a "whew", picked up my bag, and said coldly to the surnamed Mou: "Okay, then let's do it today, I still don't want to delay your lifelong plan to find a virgin, let's do what we should do with each other!"
Hearing me say this, the surnamed Mu hurriedly played a round, and he kept a voice: "Hey, Xiaowei, don't go, I have a good impression of you, although you are a little older, but your age will hurt people!"
As he spoke, he wanted to come up and take my hand.
I shook off his hand and said to him coldly, "I'm sorry, you don't have a particularly good impression of you," I said, I raised an eyebrow at him, "You think I'm old?
The man surnamed Mu who was angry at me rolled his eyes, I smiled at him proudly, and then strode downstairs to "kick and kick", no longer paying attention to the dead fat man's appearance in the back.
After this surname Mou, I met a few more blind dates, some of whom were introduced by my cousins, and some of whom were introduced by my eldest sisters and aunts who lived in the same community.
There was a man who was an auditor, 40 years old, also divorced, and he and I had an appointment to meet on the basement floor of a large shopping center.
In fact, there are a lot of places for couples to sit on a date, such as the Island Cafe, Starbucks, etc., but he didn't go, but he asked me to meet in the open space on the basement floor of the shopping center, and made a code.
I thought to myself that this person is engaged in auditing, and he must be very meticulous, so he may have formulated such a dating plan in order to save costs and reduce waste, and I am not a person who likes to be cheaper, so I agreed.
As a result, that day, we sat on the stools for tourists to sit on in the underground shopping center for half a day, and bought two bottles of mineral water, because the auditor did not pay for it for a long time, and I paid for it.
The auditor talked to me for a while and then went straight to the point, talking about his ideal remarriage life, that is, it must be AA system.
His AA system is as fine as the hair, that is, after getting married, all the personal belongings and personal expenses of the two people are all responsible for themselves, and the two of them are put together with the money for eating, but if there is a person who has more opportunities to eat at home, he also has to pay more living expenses.
After saying that, the auditor also emphasized to me: "The amount of food I eat at home is very small, the amount of food I eat is small, I usually solve breakfast outside, lunch is provided by the unit, only dinner is eaten at home, and dinner is just a little porridge or something, so if the dinner is made very rich, I don't pay for that money, because I can't eat much, and I can't digest it if I eat too much." β
The audit man is from Jianghu and Shanghai, wearing a pair of glasses, and when he said this, his tone naturally carried the unique calculating tone of some men in Jianghu, which made me want to laugh.
I held back this smile and replied solemnly to the auditor: "It stands to reason that in modern society, new models of family relations are also emerging, and I think the AA system is actually good, but I think we should pay attention to ways and means, and stop in moderation." If the focus is only on the fact that everything must be evenly apportioned, and everything is afraid that the other party will take advantage, such a calculation will only hurt the feelings of both parties in the end. What's the point of living like this? So, you'd better find the woman who is willing to share the AA system with you, and then come and tell her your plan!"
With that, I stood up and picked up my bag and said to him, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!"
The auditor got up behind me with his glasses and muttered, "Don't you want to try it with me?"
I sneered and shook my head, ignoring him and striding away from the shopper.
The blind date life is so boring, the blind date process, I feel like a sold and returned goods, being placed on the shelves for people to pick and pick, this kind of life I really have enough!
But if I don't go to the same place, there will be a group of people around me to talk nonsense, my parents are every night to call, Hai Jing also advised me to take advantage of the current state to quickly find a suitable one, and I live in this community, I just moved back when no one said nonsense, but later I came in and out of here every day, there are some warm-hearted aunts and aunts to ask long and short questions.
The house I live in now, although I haven't lived with Xu Minghui before, is mainly used for renting, but I will come back regularly every month to check it, or the tenant will break something in the house, you don't know, plus I love to greet the character, so I am quite familiar with the neighbors around.
Now seeing that I am going in and out of this house every day, Aunt Zhang, who lives on the other side of the door, asked me curiously: "Xiao Wei, why did you move back to live? You and Xiao Xu don't live in the plain?"
I smiled helplessly at Aunt Zhang, and awkwardly added her: "Me and ...... Xu Minghui was divorced, and the house was given to me. β
Hearing the news, Aunt Zhang was taken aback, and then she sighed and said again and again: "Ouch, what a pity, what a pair of wonderful people?
In short, I was embarrassed to ask long and short questions.
However, after the initial inquiry, as the days went by, Aunt Zhang began to care about my personal affairs, and every time she saw me in the corridor, she whispered to me: "If there is a suitable one, you should find one, it is not safe for a woman to live alone in such a big house!"
As he spoke, he also gave me an example of a single woman who was killed by a gangster who broke into the house because she lived alone, and it took a long time for the neighbors to find out and call the police.
I felt helpless in my heart, so I had to say yes with "mmmmmmmm
Other than that, I was actually quite happy with my work at the time.
Our department manager is a young man in his early thirties, his wife is a fellow villager in my neighboring county, the two of them are very good, they take care of me in all aspects, and after coming to Oulin, he successfully planned several cases, which won me honor and respect within the company, and the department even helped me with a deputy, so that I have more worries about my work.
But I have frequent successes in the workplace, but I have failed again and again on the issue of marriage and love, and the more blind dates I meet, the more afraid I am of going on blind dates.
This kind of blind date of mature men and mature women is not like the blind date of young boys and girls in their early twenties, because most of these people have already experienced a marriage, and even experienced a very heavy trauma, to be honest, everyone has lost their longing and desire for love, and more people are reporting the idea of living together, so all kinds of realistic cold and helpless faces are undoubtedly exposed.
In addition, many people in this age group have formed their own fixed habits and behavior styles, and it is difficult to change these characteristics as I live with others, so my road to remarriage can be said to be even more difficult.
I feel that there are a lot of men who are suitable for me, but there are almost no men who are really willing to sit down and communicate with you or even imagine the future, and more blind dates are blind dates with the mentality of coping with them, plus I am not an unforgettable stunning beauty, so more blind dates will not contact after a single date.
I felt a bit of a headache, but at this moment, an unknown guest I hadn't met for a long time suddenly broke through my door.
