Chapter 1 The city is big, but we still meet

Next Chapter

Saturday night, a Thai restaurant in S City.

"Miss Jane, why did you decide to go to graduate school after working for a year?"

"Miss Jane, I heard that the children of public schools with teachers in S City can choose any kindergarten or elementary school to enroll, is there really such a benefit?"

"Miss Jane, I take the liberty of asking, what is your annual income?"

"Miss Jane, I am a decent person, and I basically live at home and the company on weekdays. My home is very close to the company, and I basically walk to and from work, which is very environmentally friendly. ”

"Miss Jane, teachers shouldn't have to work overtime, right? I don't have to work overtime. In my opinion, overtime is a manifestation of incompetence. The people in my company's marketing and sales department are working overtime 20 days a month and don't know what to do. ”

……

From the beginning of the question and answer to the other party's stand-up comedy, Jian Qu is really not interested in the other party's topic, but feels a little even rude, such as overtime, whether others work overtime or not is related to ability, regardless of whether it is related to the ability for the time being, criticize other people's work performance and significance without authorization, what position do you think you stand in to judge it?

Jane Qu didn't have too much impatience on her face, and responded with an "um" from time to time to show that she was listening, but the rhythmic tapping of her fingertips on the glass wall revealed that her patience was almost exhausted.

Alas, Aunt Lin, a relative of my mother's family, really introduced a "good" blind date.

The other party's mouth was still in one and the other, and the simple eyes began to drift, and this attention couldn't help but drift to the adjacent table.

At the next table, a man and a woman.

The man has a neat and neat hair, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips, and sharp facial lines, just looking at the face is quite attractive. Jian Qu couldn't help but glance at it twice.

After looking at the kung fu, I heard the cute girl opposite the man say softly: "Mr. Wu, I thought about it...... I think I'm still ...... Or ..... can't accept that you're with a child. ”

"Hmm" the man pursed his thin lips and answered.

"You're good in all respects, but with a child, I, I still can't accept it. You know, although I am also 32 years old and unmarried, I am financially independent, so I have to take care of him with a child, what others think is the same thing, but I have never been able to get over myself in my heart. ”

The cute girl is still babbling and explaining, but Jane's focus is obviously on "the cute girl is 32 years old" and can't extricate herself. 32-year-old cute girl,It's really not old at all.,Why do you think it's 23 at first glance.,It's good to maintain.。 Wait, Jian Qu feels that she has just scratched the wrong point in the corner of the wall, shouldn't the point be that the handsome guy was rejected?

The man opened his mouth lightly, interrupting the cute girl's chatter: "Miss Chen, I understand what you mean." Sorry for the delay. "Men are indeed the masters who do things neatly.

"Miss Jane, Miss Jane, Miss Jane!" The raised volume of the stand-up comedian man evokes the simplicity of fugue elsewhere. Jian Qu hurriedly replied: "What's wrong?"

"Lin Youjia will hold a concert in G City next Saturday, I have two tickets, I wonder if Miss Jian is interested?"

City G and City S are adjacent to each other, and since the same high-speed rail, half an hour back and forth, just like the same city.

"Ah.....h Jian Qu was thinking about how to reject the cross talk man on the grounds of politeness and grace, and in this moment, a man and a woman at the adjacent table left the table one after another.

The man walked behind, his posture was tall, and somehow, he couldn't help but think of the big poplar tree, the big poplar tree, which was also so upright. The dining room is warm-colored, and the orange spotlights hit the man's tall body, once again illuminating the man's resolute side face, but it can't hide the little loneliness oozing from the tall back.

I'm afraid it's not the first time I've been rejected for such reasons.

Jian Qu sighed in his heart.

In the end, Jian Qu found a polite and graceful reason to refuse the second invitation of the cross talk man.

This is a blind date, meeting and talking with a clear purpose. If you agree, you will continue, and if you don't, don't waste each other's time. After all, time is money. As for the combination, it can also be improvised, not that there is such a sentence "The days are improvised!"

It's improvised, and it has to be someone you and I are willing to accept from each other, isn't it?

If you don't like it, don't force it.

Twisted melons are not sweet. This truth is simple and interesting, and the simple and interesting mother also understands. But the age of her daughter is there, and mothers are always inevitably worried.

"You said that you are twenty-eight years old, why are you still so picky, your Aunt Lin said, this young man works in a state-owned enterprise, has a stable job, and has come back from studying abroad, what else do you say there is to pick about. Jian Qu thought, my mother is also in a hurry, after all, this is the third blind date failure this month.

In the face of my mother's impatience, in the past, Jian Qu would definitely use words to push back, and I would think that how could my parents only look at the external material conditions, without asking whether I liked each other or not; Now, Jane Fun understands parents, especially mothers, after all, children are the hearts and minds of parents, who wants their daughters to marry into their husband's family and suffer, these external conditions that they can see and touch are a barrier to stability. There is one-sidedness in the parents' thinking, but their intentions are good, so instead of arguing with both sides, Jian Qu chooses to remain silent.

The mother on the other end of the phone sighed silently, and used the effort to cook herself a bowl of tomatoes and eggs and soba noodles, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onions, the combination of red, yellow and green looked really attractive.

Silence does not solve any problem, only hard work can find true knowledge. In order to be able to eat a bite of hot noodles quickly, Jian Qu was forced to agree to the next blind date. Of course, when I hung up the phone, I didn't forget to say, "Mom, don't keep reminding me of my age." Also, 28 is a virtual age, even if I will be a real 28 years old in a month to enter the New Year, but I am now 27 years old. ”

The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't want to listen to the strong words of Jian Qu anymore.

Jian Qu sighed lightly and put down his phone and took a big bite of noodles.

Sunday, 7 a.m. Jian Qu sat in the car of a graduate student classmate, a good friend, and a current colleague Yi Yan.

Yi Yan had just gotten his driver's license, and the driving posture was a bit like an old lady driving, holding the steering wheel with her hands and feeling a deep hatred. Jian Qu sat in the passenger seat and nibbled on the love sandwich made by Yi Yan, and drank a sip of warm milk from time to time.

There was music flowing through the carriage, and the song was called RightHereWaiting.

Today's weather is very good, sunny, cloudless, blue like a wash, in addition to the cold snap southward brought by the sudden drop in temperature and the bustling city morning rush hour, the well-fed Jane Qu feels that it is good to go out in the early morning on a cold day with a full body of righteousness.

The two met today to play at a club in the south of the city. After about a fifty-minute drive, a large club sign appeared in front of me.

It is a comprehensive club with rock climbing, shooting, boxing, go-kart and ball games.

Yi Yan, who left the driver's seat, seemed to be full of blood in an instant, dazzled and half-hearted in the face of various projects, and had long forgotten that the purpose of the trip with Jian Qu was to play go-kart in the first place. Jian Qu was accustomed to it, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and he fell into the misery of choice by Yi Yan for a long time.

At this time, a crisp children's voice shouted from far and near: "Teacher Xiao Jane, Teacher Xiao Yi." ”

Jian Qu and Yi Yan searched for it, and Jian Qu found that it was actually a student in his own class: Wu Jing.

Wu Jing, armed policeman, at that time, Yi Yan first heard the name of the little guy and sighed: The vision of this family must be looking forward to the child becoming a police uncle who serves the people. A good name, not to mention a lot of righteousness.

"Xiaojing, hello. Jane Leaned over and hurriedly ran to the child to say hello. The little face is red because of running, not to mention how cute it is.

"Hey, Xiaojing, why are you running here?" Yi Yan also leaned down and took the little guy's chubby hand and asked. After all, there are no items in this club that are suitable for first-grade children.

"Teacher, I'll do my homework!"

"Write homework, what kind of homework, is it Chinese homework? Are you going to do it, come to your little teacher Jane for tutoring?"

"It's not. I went upstairs to the office to do my homework. After saying that, he grinned, the two front teeth of the upper jaw had just been replaced, and they had not yet grown together, and he grinned and had a hole, which was very festive. "This club is owned by my godfather. Teacher, you can play as you like, I'll let my godfather give you free!"

Yi Yan chuckled, and couldn't help but tease the little guy again: "Is it free for me?" Teacher Xiao Yi is the Chinese teacher next door, I remember you said that there is a competitive relationship between our two classes. ”

The little guy puffed out his cheeks and said in a milky voice: "But there is no relationship between us and us. As the host, I want to do my best to be a good landlord. ”

The two teachers were amused when they heard this, this kid is really funny. Before Jian Qu could interject, at the gate, the man came against the light, and his figure was projected on the ground, stretched for a long time. For a while, Jian Qu didn't see the appearance of the person who came, but felt familiar.

"Godfather, godfather, this!" The little guy saw the visitor and waved his little fat hand excitedly.

The man strode closer, a pair of long legs slender and powerful, and every step taken by the black military boots was sonorous and powerful. Jian Qu felt that this was properly the same as the long legs of the soldier brother who was being reviewed in a close-up shot on TV.

The person who came approached and stood still, and when he looked at his face, he understood why there was a sense of déjà vu. After all, the other party is the man who was sensibly rejected by the cute girl at the next table last night. It's just one night, and Jane's memories haven't faded so quickly.

This, meet again. Jane Fun Thoughts.

Xiaojing was busy introducing the two parties.

"Teacher, teacher, this is my godfather, the owner of this club!" As he spoke, the little guy's chest straightened, and he could see that he was proud.

"Godfather, this is my Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher, Teacher Xiao Jian. This is the Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher of the next class, Teacher Xiaoyi. "The little guy's introduction is really laughable, isn't it okay to get over the stalk of the class next door?

Jian Qu and Yi Yan nodded to the man and said in unison, "Hello." ”

The man's voice was cold and low: "Hello two teachers, I am Xiaojing's godfather, Wu Fan." ”

Wu Fan, Wu Fan, Wu Fan? Jian Qu remembered that it was exactly this name written in the father column of Wu Jing's school file! So, Wu Jing is Wu Fan's own son? So, what is the matter with the godfather? If you don't like to call your father, you have to call your godfather? Also, who is the man who greeted Xiao Jing gently and gently at the parent-teacher meeting? Could it be that Wen Run's man is the gunman? But Xiao Jing is doing very well in school, and there is no need to do this. And Xiaojing's frank appearance now doesn't look like he has done something wrong. It's just that the simple fun of this time and a half really can't find a reason to explain the above things.

As the head teacher, Jian Qu felt that it was necessary to talk to Wu Fan, but it was difficult to speak in front of the child, and the information in the mother's column on the school file, Jian Qu remembered, was blank.

"Teacher, have you decided to have any fun projects? My godfather is very good at shooting, let him take you to play, he is the king of guns!" Xiaojing looks like your little fan brother has gone online.

"Really, Gun King, let's shoot, let's shoot. Yi Yan was excited when he heard it.

Shooting?This club is all about live shooting, Jian Qu thinks about his first and last live fire shooting or in high school military training, in a certain mountain, Jian Qu actually doesn't know where the target position he wants to aim at, but it's really not good to let the next group of team members wait too long to bang three shots and waste the bullets. So it's better not to play shooting or anything, wouldn't it be a shame to miss the target the whole time.

Jian Qu's heroic eyebrows furrowed, but not expressing any objections can be regarded as acquiescence.

However, Wu Fan still sensed Jian Qu's unhappiness.

Wu Fan's generous big hand touched Xiaojing's small board and said, "The gun king is all nonsense from children." If Mr. Yi is interested in shooting, he can go directly to the field to find the staff, and the staff inside are all trained and their skills are not bad. My right hand has been sprained in the past few days, so I can't accompany me. ”

Jian Qu let out a long sigh of relief in his heart after listening to this.

Yi Yan doesn't care, just have fun anyway.

Xiao Jing tugged at Wu Fan's clothes, looking at Wu Fan with big grape-like eyes, and stopped talking.

"The two teachers are casual, and all the projects are free to play. I'll take Xiaojing to do my homework first. Excuse me. After saying that, he walked away with long legs.

"Teacher Xiao Jane, Teacher Xiao Yi, Godfather said that all the projects are free to play, you have fun. I went to do my homework. After speaking, he pulled the strap of his schoolbag, and chased after his godfather with a cigarette, shouting: "Godfather, wait for me! Godfather, you wait for me~"

Wu Jing's child has a round body, like a national treasure, and suddenly ran up, Jian Qu felt that the earth was trembling slightly. It's just that who is the little guy's jubilant temperament, looking at his father, it's a little cold.

Jian Qu and Yi Yan didn't play shooting in the end, because these two girls played drag racing and drifting on the go-kart track, and drove the go-kart into a four-wheel drive car, which was really addicted to speed and passion. You say, it's all a quiet girl's house, why is it like this. This contrast is not ordinary, so the quiet girl has a restless heart, which is really true. On the windowsill on the second floor not far away, Wu Fan put his hands in his pockets, chewed gum in his mouth, and looked at the two people who were playing crazy and smiled lightly.

The go-kart had fun, and the two of them switched to rock climbing. From the beginning of the emotional flag to the top, to each other to encourage each other to climb the peak, to the end of the physical strength is really unable to give up. Sure enough, the flag was slapped in the face.

Although Wu Fan explained that the two of them played free projects, the two girls adhered to the principle that the people's teachers are for the people, and they can't take the people's stitches at will, and they ran to the counter to pay the money. However, the staff admitted to death, pushed and shoved, and shouted to call the boss. In the end, it was Yi Yan, the tiger girl, who roared out a Northeast dialect that could be regarded as handing over the money, oh no, it was shoehorned in.

This sentence is like this: "What the whole thing, do you say you can't accept it? If you don't accept it, you won't come, and if you go out of this door, you will publicize it, this is a black shop, do you believe it!" The staff is an honest and honest guy, who was choked by Yi Yan's words and blushed, and it is estimated that he has never seen such a person beating a rake.

The money was handed over "smoothly", and the two teachers left behind this polite goodbye. By the time Jian Qu remembered it, it was already a big night.

Jian Qu in the big evening has just gone through the courseware content of tomorrow's class again, and is soaking his feet comfortably at the moment. While feeling sorry for his behavior, he felt amazing for meeting Wu Fan, a stranger, in two days to knowing Wu Fan's father, who was his own student. Of course, in terms of the simplicity of this time, the latter is purely the feeling that a person has nothing to do.

The city is huge, home to more than 20 million people, and the city is growing so fast that people rush to all corners of the city every day, passing each other. Some people are just passing by each other even if they are in the same city, and some people's encounter is the beginning of another story.

It's just that at that time, neither of them was aware of it.
