52. Puppets
Mother He pushed open the door, looked at the messy room, frowned dissatisfied, she walked to the side of the bed and pushed her sleeping son, "Jiejie, you said that you are such a big person, and you don't know how to clean up your room." β
"Mom, don't make any noise, I still want to go back to sleep." He Jie smashed his mouth, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Alas," Mother He sighed helplessly, rolled up her sleeves to help him clean up the room, and said, "Jiejie, my mother asked someone to help you arrange a girl's blind date, just tonight, don't forget to go." β
"Blind date again?" When He Jie heard her say this, he felt sleepy and sat up from the bed, "It's so troublesome!" I've recently lost my job, and how realistic the girls are now, they will definitely dislike me for this. β
"If you weren't too lazy, how could the company fire you," Mother He walked over and sat down beside him, "Your boss is not too young, and my parents don't expect you to provide for us, I just want you to hurry up and have a daughter-in-law and give birth to a grandson for us to hug, and we will be happy." β
"Oops, okay, okay!" He Jie grabbed his hair and slurred into the bed again. I don't know why, he seems to never get enough sleep, maybe that's what his mother said, he's too lazy.
But so what, anyway, if he doesn't work, his parents will support him, lying down all day long and not moving, just eating and drinking is what he likes.
Soon it was night, at the strong request of He Mu, He Jie reluctantly cleaned up, he felt that the process was very painful, washing his hair, shaving, tying a tie, every movement had to take effort, it was so annoying! It would be nice if someone helped him finish a qiΔ and just lay down comfortably and enjoy it!
The location of the blind date was arranged in a cafΓ©, and He Jie waited for more than ten minutes before the girl arrived, which inevitably made him a little unhappy. After the two ordered a drink, they began to chat, and the topic was naturally about real problems.
"By the way, I heard that you work in a small private company, why don't you go to a public institution?" He Jie asked.
The girl's face was a little embarrassed, "It's more difficult to enter a public institution, and it has high requirements for academic qualifications and experience." β
He Jie frowned, "But I prefer to find someone who has a stable job, you know, working in a private company, especially a small company, the work is tiring and unstable." β
The girl opened her mouth, she felt that this product was a bit strange, she didn't have a job, and she was embarrassed to pick and choose from her, and she spoke in a tone as if she had the whole world and only lacked a wife, "Mr. He, then why don't you go to work in a public institution?" β
"With my ability, it's definitely no problem to go to a public institution, but I don't like that kind of atmosphere, it's safe and stable, people are going to be grinded to the point of no ambition, men and women are different, men need to work hard, I'm thinking about starting a business, and I'm going to make a lot of money in the future," He Jie said endlessly, "So I have higher requirements for the other half, and I must be the kind of woman who can go to the hall and go down to the kitchen." Your appearance is still passable, but I don't know how to remove your makeup? By the way, are you usually good at cooking? β
"I'm not very good at it." The girl said, looking at her watch impatiently.
"That's it, but it's not a big problem, I will have money in the future, and the family will definitely have to hire a nanny," He Jie patted his chest and suddenly remembered a question, "By the way, have you ever had a boyfriend before?" Have you ever been laid? I want to find a virgin half, otherwise, I don't know whose child it isγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Before He Jie finished speaking, his face was cold and wet, he wiped his face, only to see the girl put down the cup angrily, scolded for her nervousness, picked up the bag and left in a hurry.
"Alas, why are you like this, are you educated?" He Jie didn't understand why the other party's face changed drastically, he shook the water droplets on his clothes, remembered an important thing in an instant, and shouted at the back of the girl leaving, "Hey, you come back, let's talk about AA at the beginning, you pay for your drink first." β
At the beginning of the lanterns, the road is full of small stalls on both sides, the aroma of all kinds of knick-knacks and food attracts many people, bustling, the hawkers are even louder, and the night market is particularly lively, even during the day.
He Jie walked in the middle of the crowd, holding a sulk in his heart. The woman just now was really wonderful, she was obviously talking well, so she suddenly poured a drink on his face, said yes AA, and finally made him pay, this kind of woman, no education, no credit, see who dares to marry her in the future!
"Eh, He Jie?" A familiar sweet voice rang out.
He Jie looked, a few steps away, there was a tall young woman with a beautiful face.
Isn't this the goddess of his former unit? He Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over to say hello.
"Shen Tian, it turns out that you also visit this kind of place." He Jie was a little surprised, he didn't expect the goddess to also visit the night market.
"I'm just allowing you to come," Shen Tian smiled and asked, "By the way, why haven't you come to work in the last few days?" β
"Ah, that," He Jie scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, he wouldn't say that he was fired by his boss, "I resigned, I feel that the unit is not as good as I imagined, it is better to start my own business." β
"Oh? So what are you doing now? β
He Jie thought about it, and it seemed that he had nothing else to do except sleep at home all day. "Well, I'm writing a business plan, think about the steps first, and then do it slowly."
"In this way," Shen Tian nodded and pointed ahead, "Let's go shopping together, it's my first time in this place, and I'm not familiar with it." β
"I'm familiar with this place, I'll show you around." He Jie said eagerly.
He Jie bought a few skewers of grilled squid at a food stall and accompanied Shen Tian to shuttle slowly.
"Wow, these dolls are so cute!" Shen Tian stopped in front of the doll stall and looked intently.
He Jie thought that the dolls here were not expensive, so he said, "If you like it, I'll buy you one." β
"Then you're welcome." Shen Tian picked and took a big bear doll.
"Ouch, beauty, you are not only good-looking, but also have good eyes, this doll is popular, and the one in your hand is the last one," the doll stall owner patted his ass in time, and said, "The price is not expensive, only a hundred yuan is enough." β
He Jie's hand stiffened when he took out his wallet, "Boss, you are too unkind, where are the toys in this stall so expensive, and they are not famous brands." β
"Handsome guy, the workmanship of my doll is the best, and it's worth the price."
"Twenty yuan, do you want to sell it?"
"Handsome guy, where do you say, so that I don't lose to death."
He Jie took out a piece of twenty yuan and stuffed his wallet back into his pocket, he didn't plan to buy such an expensive thing for Shen Tian, "Anyway, I only give twenty, and I won't buy it if I have more." β
Shen Tian pulled He Jie, "Forget it, I'll pay for it myself, it's not easy for the boss to set up a stall." β
"No, I said that if I buy it for you, I will buy it for you, how can you make a girl pay for it when a man is present." He Jie said righteously.
"Handsome guy, bring your girlfriend to go shopping, don't be so stingy! A hundred dollars is not expensive. β
Seeing his tough attitude, He Jie turned his eyes and saw a puppet in the corner of the stall, which looked rough and should not be expensive, so he pointed to it and asked, "How much is that?" β
"Cheaper, I'll sell it to you for twenty dollars." The doll stall owner said simply.
"Okay, then buy it," He Jie said, handing the money to the boss, taking the puppet and handing it to Shen Tian, "I'll give this to you, don't be polite to me." β
Shen Tian looked at the gray-brown puppet, with a big mouth and a big nose, and a funny green wig, and suddenly lost his mood, "But I don't like puppets, you can keep it yourself, I'll buy that doll bear." β
"Huh!" He Jie pulled her away from the doll stall and forced the puppet into her hand, "Is this any different?" Why buy that? Girls shouldn't waste money on gadgets, in the future, when you get married, you won't be able to make a budget, how can you live your life? β
Shen Tian hugged the ugly puppet, a very unhappy feeling rose in her heart, she didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, pushed the puppet into his arms, and said, "That's my business." This puppet is returned to you, I don't want it. β
"Hey, Shen Tian!" He Jie saw Shen Tian quickly turn around and leave, his face was still a little unhappy, he scratched his head incomprehensibly, he didn't understand what was going on tonight, first he met a strange girl, and then he met a goddess and broke up unhappily.
"Today's girls are really hard to serve!" He took the puppet and made a mock conclusion.
When he got home in the evening, He Jie explained the blind date to his father and mother, and went straight back to his room.
"Alas, I'm so tired!" He Jie threw the puppet casually and lay down on the bed. With his eyes half-closed, he reminisced about the scene at the night market. He felt that he was willing to pay for Shen Tian to buy a puppet was already very generous, and he was not his girlfriend, so why should he buy such an expensive doll for her.
That woman, isn't she just looking good with her face, but she has no one in her eyes, and she doesn't want what she gave her for nothing, which is really vexatious. The wife he He Jie is looking for in the future must be talented, gentle, and considerate, preferably big enough breasts, and meticulous to himself. He Jie thought about it, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Click-", this voice sounded several times, and He Jie slowly lifted an eyelid, he didn't want to care, but it made him sleep.
He looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and saw that it was a note spat out of the puppet's mouth.
"What is this?" He Jie didn't bother to get up, stretched out a hand to pick up the note, and at first glance, it was something like an instruction manual, "Take off the puppet's wig, you will get an unexpected surprise." β
"Is there a treasure?" He Jie always felt that he would encounter pies falling from the sky in his life, so he immediately came to his senses, threw the note, picked up the puppet in disbelief, pulled its green curls and pulled it gently, and sure enough, it loosened, but nothing seemed to have happened.
"What a surprise, it's so deceitful." He Jie rolled his eyes, he thought that the puppet would hide gold coins.
He pinched the puppet's red nose in displeasure, and was about to throw it into the trash when he heard a loud sneeze.
"He Jie, your name is He Jie, right?" A thin sound came from the puppet's mouth.
