Chapter 25: Shortcomings
Yan Xue sighed, what Gao Yang's situation was, she basically had an idea in her heart.
Gao Yang said that there was a "comparison" between his mother and Xu Wenrui's mother, but Yan Xue felt that it was more like an "imaginary enemy" based on her own experience.
Although she herself can't understand what kind of mentality it is, in fact, some people are like this, on the one hand, they always maintain an intimate relationship with each other, frequent exchanges, and on the other hand, they are always competing with each other, trying to be able to suppress each other, so as to obtain a kind of psychological pleasure.
This kind of strange interpersonal relationship between friends and foes is often the case where the parties are quite happy with each other, but it hurts the other relatives of the parties, because they will also be forced to get involved in this strange "battle situation" and become a "weapon" for each other to suppress each other.
"Your mother is in front of Xu Wenrui and his mother, what is the winning rate?" Because she knew this helplessness, Yan Xue's tone was not only half-ridiculous to ask, but also a kind of sympathy.
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and pointed at himself: "Except for me, my mother has always been ahead of Xu Wenrui's mother in other aspects." It is said that my mother's academic performance has been slightly better than Xu Wenrui's mother since she was in school, and her job is a little better than her after graduation.
So my mother has always been in front of Xu Wenrui's mother is a state of winning generals, especially proud, there is nothing to do, the two of them get together, it is my mother who is sharing advanced experience with Xu Wenrui's mother, but I didn't expect that in the child's generation, I am not angry, and after making her beautiful for many years, I overturned the boat in my little gutter. ”
"That's a bit of a big deal, isn't it?" Kang Ge heard him say this, smiled and waved his hand, "Although it is said that Xu Wenrui's university may indeed be better than yours, but it can only be said that he studied a little harder than you in high school, and he played a little better in the college entrance examination.
You also heard it today, Xu Wenrui even failed the course, and he couldn't pass the make-up exam, so he had to retake it, and because his popularity among his classmates was really not very good, he had to go around and around to pay so much money because he borrowed the retake fee.
How are you studying at university? Even if you don't plan to go to graduate school, what about the results? Have you ever retaken the course? ”
"I didn't fail a subject, but I didn't get a scholarship either, so I was just ordinary." Gao Yang said embarrassedly.
"Looking at it this way, the two of you can't be regarded as widening the gap between victory and defeat, right?" Kango was a little puzzled, "In my opinion, the two of you are basically a draw. If Xu Wenrui doesn't have an accident, after graduation, it is really difficult to say who is good and who is bad. ”
Gao Yang shook his head: "To be honest, my thoughts now are actually similar to yours, and when I heard Xu Wenrui's classmates and counselors say that today, I also think that the gap between me and him is not particularly big."
But the problem is, whether it's his family or my family, the information that the elders get is not like this, you should have heard what his mother and my mother said that day, it all said that Xu Wenrui was loved by everyone in school, flowers bloomed, he studied well, and he was talented, and the teacher urged Baoyan, and he himself was reluctant to have outside job opportunities, what do I compare with others! ”
"You mean, Xu Wenrui and his family have a unified voice, deliberately creating a false impression for you, just to win?"
"That's not it, I think his mother is the same as my mother, I think it's all true from the bottom of my heart, otherwise, those words can be used to bluff my mother, there is no need to spread it everywhere outside.
Xu Wenrui boasted about how good his son was and how bright his future was. I won't tell you anything, in their small circle, Xu Wenrui's excellence is known to everyone! Almost everyone is calling on their children to learn from Xu Wenrui, but my mother is the one who performs the most.
She always wanted me to deal with Xu Wenrui more, so that we could get acquainted with each other since we were young and become friends, so that we could get close to Zhu Zhechi, and be infected by Xu Wenrui, so that I could also become more motivated. ”
When mentioning his "friendship" with Xu Wenrui, Gao Yang's expression looked particularly helpless.
"Speaking of which, because of your mother, you and Xu Wenrui are also children! Growing up together, it stands to reason that you should know him well, right?
We all grew up as children, and many children are reluctant to show their true side to the elders of the family when they grow up, so it is not difficult to understand that the children with serious elders have an obvious gap with the children themselves.
But generally speaking, Fa Xiao'er knows each other best, so why are you also deceived by him? Kango asked.
"Don't dare to be, I can't be regarded as a child with him, I'm not worthy." Gao Yang waved his hand with a mocking expression, and then realized that Xu Wenrui was no longer alive, his expression became a little complicated, and he changed his words, "I'm just a little follower at best." ”
Yan Xue could see clearly: "Between the two of you, it's because you can't compare to him, so you don't want to deal with him more?" ”
"Part of that, most of it is because I'm not the same person with him. It's not just me who thinks about him, he doesn't care about me the same, how much I don't care about him, how much he doesn't like to take care of me.
Usually when our two families get together for a party, for a whole night, basically the two mothers talk freely, the two husbands protect themselves, Xu Wenrui and I play with our own mobile phones, and no one cares about anyone before being discovered by adults. ”
"So you two look at each other and hate each other?" Kango propped his chin on one hand, looking like he was listening to a story.
"Well," Gao Yang is not very shy about this fact, "The difference between the two of us is too big, my personality is more like my father, I am quieter, I don't like things that are too noisy, my mother always says that our father and son are two pieces of wood, stupid and stupid."
I can't say who Xu Wenrui's personality is like, I know that he has been the kind of person who can be more showy and loves to be in the limelight since he was a child, and he is also very confident, and he has been very in line with the smart child in the eyes of adults since he was a child.
I especially don't like the kind of comparison between my mother and his mother, but Xu Wenrui is different, he may feel that he is the winner, and he tastes the sweetness from this comparison, so he especially enjoys that comparison, the degree of cooperation is very high, after a long time, we have all grown up, he always treats me as a competitor after seeing me.
As for him, he is a little overconfident, he feels a little narcissistic, he thinks he is handsome, very smart, and clever, so he always likes to joke about me, and his so-called jokes are all jokes that hurt people, as if he is playing with others for fun, so after a long time, I don't care about him even more. ”
"For example?"
"For example, he especially likes to make fun of my not very good places, and for a while I had more serious acne on my face, and he said that when I have a child in the future, my name should be Gao Nanguo, because red beans give birth to Nanguo. He also said that I must find a swan-like wife in the future, because red beans are the most lovesick, and what the toad wants to eat must be swan meat. ”
Kang Ge raised his eyebrows: "Huh! Xu Wenrui, this kid looks quite handsome and handsome, but this mouth is mean enough! Therefore, the term 'born from the heart' is quite unscientific! ”
Gao Yang subconsciously wanted to nod, but restrained his movements.
"Then how did Xu Wenrui get along when he was a child?" Yan Xue asked.
"It's okay, it's not particularly good, it's not bad, it's a little better than me, but it's not a top student or anything like that.
In fact, I don't know exactly what his grades are, the two of us have never been in the same school, and each other's academic performance, as well as how well or badly he performs in school, are all told by adults when the two families get together.
I remember when I found out the admission information, I invited his parents excitedly, the guests of the banquet, and the people I could imagine, and the college banquet was very grand, and it didn't feel like a normal play, but as if I had won the jackpot. Gao Yang recalled the situation at that time, and he still remembers it vividly.
