November 2nd, this Saturday.

Gui Ying got up early in the morning and went to the company first, the company recruited a group of part-time jobs today, specifically to invite professional visitors or companies in the industry, and in the afternoon she made an appointment to meet customers and talk about the advertising sponsorship contract of the exhibition navigation map; Zhiyuan rushed to the eye hospital with his son in the morning; In order to let the baby wake up and eat hot and fragrant buns, the seventy-year-old man went out and came back with a watch.

People are governed by grand laws or rhythms, and live an ordinary one, or an ordinary life.

In the morning, the driver Master Li sent Momi to Shenzhen, and after taking care of Mi and checking into the hotel safely, Master Li drove back to Guangzhou. Mi put down his luggage, couldn't wait to pack up, picked up his bag and touched the phone and called Bao Xiaotang directly.

Bao Xiaotang, who was listening to the online class, was very surprised when she saw Mi's call, and was surprised that she called so early. Knowing that Mi had arrived in Shenzhen, Xiaotang was shocked again and hurriedly went downstairs to find her.

Under the rich lychee tree, on the edge of the wide turtle back bamboo, the two beckoned to meet. I haven't seen my friends in distress for a long time, and I am happy to see them. Mi Shang hurriedly grabbed Xiaotang's arm with both hands, and the two went to find a coffee shop together, planning to wait for the eldest sister - Zhang Zhuofan in the coffee shop.

Not long after, Zhang Zhuofan found a coffee shop according to the location. With short hair, big black-framed glasses, a blue and white plaid shirt, wide-legged jeans, and gray sneakers, the majestic woman waved to her two sisters and walked towards them.

"Sister Fan, are you sure you're not gay?" Seeing Sister Fan's man-like dress and walking posture, Mi couldn't help but ask clearly.

When Xiaotang heard this, the coffee in his mouth almost squirted out.

"I ...... Mi, you can do it! Zhuo Fan patted Mi's head with a complicated expression, pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "I'm not going to do it, why are you asking with such fanfare!" It's going to have to be heard by everyone! Why is it so sinful to be ugly! ”

"Sister Nafan...... Why are you dressed like this? Did Sister Tang and I teach you makeup in the group? Why don't you clean it up! Mi complained about the roughness and primitiveness of the eldest sister's body.

"When you see Sister Fan, you embarrass people, it's not like words!" Xiaotang stretched out his hand to criticize Mi.

"I see you two - do you still need makeup?" Zhuo Fan told the truth.

"People who don't wear makeup think that way – they don't have to! You ask Sister Tang, what would happen if she didn't tinker? The two looked at Xiaotang.

"I didn't wear makeup when I first came to Shenzhen, but then I slowly got used to it. Right now...... Now when you go out to pick up a courier, you have to draw your eyebrows. After putting on makeup for a long time, I feel that I can't see it without makeup! The moment I went out, I thought about my half-cut original eyebrows, shriveled eyelids, and yellow white lips - I really couldn't get out! Xiaotang looked at Zhuo Fan with a sincere expression.

"My mother is like this, she doesn't go out and puts on makeup at home!"

"I don't have a partner, and I still look like this! What's more, working overtime, don't lie to the two of you, at least three times a week to work overtime until after nine o'clock, so tired, how can I have time to put on makeup and remove makeup! Makeup is directly and closely related to a Rao's occupation, personality, and age group; Besides, if you put on makeup, you can't tinker with your hairstyle or decent clothes, and find a bag and shoes that match you...... This one is down, I'm tired of it, sister, I'm not happy! Zhuo Fan analyzed, and at the same time defended.

"The more I think about it, the more I can't find a man!" Mi pouted and complained.

"Actually, it's very simple to put on light makeup, draw eyebrows, put on eyeshadow, put on some lipstick......"

Xiaotang was interrupted by Zhuo Fan before he could finish: "I really don't lie to you two, if I put on lipstick, I will be so stupid that I don't know how to drink water with a cup or eat with chopsticks!" Don't target me, you two! Oh yes, you self-study in 136, 246 in class, what kind of vocabulary class, reading comprehension, English writing...... I've never seen such a hassle as you in learning English! The class schedule is so dense, how can there be time to come to Shenzhen? Zhuo Fan questioned Mi.

"Oops-" Mi pounded the table coquettishly, "I...... You've also taken so many classes, I need to come out and breathe! Sister Tang found a job - let's not meet for such a big thing, how big a thing is worth seeing the three of us! Mi snorted lightly and grimaced at Zhuo Fan.

"Okay, good, I can't stand you! I can't figure out how I managed to make a friend of this age! Zhuo Fan smiled and looked at Xiaotang and took a sip of coffee.

"Isn't it good? After touching rice, I seem to be a few years younger, at least I feel younger in my heart when I am with her! Xiaotang revealed his heart.

"Look at it! I'm charismatic! Mi twisted her shoulders and shuddered.

Swallowing the coffee and licking his mouth, Zhang Zhuofan said frankly: "To be honest, Mi has changed my view of the general post-zero generation. The current post-zero generation seems to have an idea, but in fact, the idea came from the mobile phone, and it was white - copied! Many of my relatives have children who are post-zeros, so that qualifications ...... It's hard to put into words! On the whole, my evaluation is that today's teenagers even include middle-aged people, which is too homogeneous! Ideas, Interests, Lifestyles, Life Pursuits...... Really homogeneous! ”

Momi was very approving, and nodded frequently.

"Homogeneous ......" Xiaotang chewed these three words, all thoughts.

Seeing that Xiaotang didn't understand, Zhuo Fan patiently explained: "Homogenization means that the pace of a society is becoming consistent and the same, and homogenization is differentiation and diversification disappearing." The more homogeneous the individuals in the society, the more dynamic the development of the society, for example, Japan, Europe and the United States are counted! The reason why China has developed dramatically in the past decade is because there are differences between people. Now it is different, the gap is shrinking, the society is maturing, economic development is slowing down, and the latecomers are catching up. ”

"It's so profound!" Xiaotang couldn't help but applaud with his hands on his chest, listening to the doctor's speech, and worship was born in his heart.

"Just-well-right! Sister Fan is right, but there are still a lot of minorities and alternatives like me. Maybe people are divided into groups, and I've been exposed to a lot of alternatives. Our classmates were all wealthy, and one of them was a boy with a different orientation from the mainstream school. After he came out, he couldn't find his boyfriend - he was in a hurry, so he posted videos of himself putting on makeup, dressing, walking catwalks, and imitating celebrities in the circle, and then he simply became an Internet celebrity! Send videos to teach boys with the same temperament how to choose lipstick, dye hair color, match clothes, buy bags, and pick shoes...... That's it! It's on fire! Thousands of fans! Our classmates often post videos of him, and everyone is laughing at him, and I also laugh at his mother-in-law and upset. But I think his presence is good, and I don't know why...... Good anyway! Mi Shuangyan, who didn't express it clearly, asked for help from the two sisters.

Zhuo Fan tried to solve the puzzle: "Maybe you are good, because you think that he has contributed a different color to the world, and you think that he is a necessary existence." I'm going to talk about someone who, like rice, has changed my perception of being young now. A front desk of our company, a girl, ninety-seven years. looks okay, has a sweet mouth and eyes, and looks at the spirit, the key is that there is ruthlessness in her eyes. I follow her because she's from the countryside like me, but she's a low education — a poor junior college, basically equivalent to a high school graduate. ”

Zhuo Fan opened his eyes and nodded, and continued: "There was a casual conversation over lunch, and she told me that she was going to South Korea and asked me if I wanted to bring anything. Wow, I was so surprised to hear it, I thought in my heart that she had a total of 4,000 yuan a month, I had more than her in January, I had never been abroad, how could she come out? After a careful inquiry, I learned that people's wages are all spent on traveling abroad, and when the money is enough, they will go abroad immediately, what Malaysia, Thailand, Australia...... In my early twenties, I went to nine countries! Later, sure enough, the girl walked around from Korea and brought me a gift! Now that people are learning Japanese, why should they go to Fukushima and Akita......

Zhuo Fanwan's surprised expression was still there.

"At first I didn't understand. I asked her how you can live without saving money, girl, I don't spend much on life, I wear a fight, and I live in a low-cost bed. People tell me that if you go abroad, your vision will naturally be different, and your view of life will be different! I heard this—five thunders! Think about how hard it has been for me to pass five levels and cut six generals all the way, and I am facing a lot of family pressure after making money, and now my relationship is not settled. How wonderful it is for a girl to have this experience at a young age! Compared to me, it seems that I have lost a light life, and I often think that if I don't study for a master's degree or a doctorate, then I am definitely not the person I am now. ”

Seeing that Sister Fan said so many words very rarely, and her expression was slightly lost at the moment, Xiaotang comforted her: "I have traveled abroad, and I have indeed seen some different lifestyles from China, and I am quite shocked." After Ran went abroad, he would suddenly become insignificant, humble, and completely let himself go. I envy everything, but I don't think those will belong to me in my bones. If this girl lives like this all her life, I admire it very much! If she returns to reality in the future, like the two of us, I feel sorry for her. Because she has seen different scenery, she has seen too much and sometimes thinks she is a person in the scene, but when she wakes up from a dream, she finds that she is not, how divided! ”

"I've been reading for too long, and I have this sense of division!"

"Hmm...... Such a heavy topic, it should be talked about in a bar! Mi leaned on the table and listened softly, interjecting softly.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Xiaotang spoke: "Actually, I'm quite confused now. I love life very much, but I always feel that work can't carry all my love, I should have another outlet to release my vitality! Like some people release in love, children, family...... I couldn't find that exit for a long time, a little depressed, a little anxious. You two, how can people find a life track that makes their hearts flutter? ”

"I don't know! When your heart is pounding, don't you find the direction that makes your heart pound? "Mi cunning.

"Mi is right. You're not tempted, and that direction hasn't appeared yet. Don't worry, people are growing! I found out that I didn't like my major after graduating from graduate school, and I changed jobs when I became a mother at the age of 30. I can't stop people from liking new careers! Among our Ph.D. students, there are different ages and personalities, and less than half of them are engaged in our industry after graduation! But during the study, all of them worked very hard! Later, I chose a new job, and I worked hard! I mean, when the direction comes, it's never too late! Zhuo Fan in turn comforted Xiaotang.

"I used to be pretending, always trying to find a prince charming who matched me, and that person wanted to be so good and that good. I've been focusing on the outside of my body for too long, resulting in an inner emptiness that I am now. Xiaotang stated sincerely.

"People can't grow up without experience, haven't you seen those people in their fifties and sixties who have very low quality and do strange things? They haven't gone through the training yet, the people haven't matured yet, and the body is getting old first! Aging and maturity, I don't know which will come first! Zhuo Fan looked at Xiaotang deeply.

"Sister Fan, why are you so much here? Last time, you weren't like that, as if you were a different person! Mi was amazed at Zhuofan's change.

"I don't know! Meet you both...... I've also changed a little bit and softened a little bit. I didn't know that making friends could change and open up myself. Zhuo Fan leaned on the back of the chair, looking forward to the two people who were worthy of her lifelong relationship.

"My current accounting self-examination is very slow, and I am very anxious to learn. Actually, I have a lot of big goals in accounting, and I always find it very difficult to achieve them. After a few minutes of silence, Xiaotang brought up his recent confusion.

"Maybe your difficulty is that you have too many goals. The fewer goals a person has over a period of time, the easier it is to achieve. If you really have a big goal, split the big goal into a medium goal, and the medium goal into a goal. If it takes five years to reach that goal, then you make a plan for three years, two years, then a yearly plan, then a monthly, weekly plan. It's called the management by objectives method, and it's how I got my Ph.D. degree. Find the right targets, break them one by one, and then do it! ”

Zhuo Fan was frivolous, and Xiaotang listened attentively.

"Wow! I want to applaud! Sister Fan, you are amazing! It's more than enough to be a teacher! ”

"I've heard this since I was a teenager! My dad said, my teachers said, and my uncles said that the method of successful people seems to be almost the same! "Rice disdainful.

"Wow, I really envy the two of you - one is knowledgeable, the other is knowledgeable! My age is the same as Sister Fan, and my social education is lower than that of rice, and you two are too bad for me. What I need most now is school education, and I'll tell you, I'm listening to online classes alone in my room, but seriously! It's much more serious than going to school! It's not enough, I think I have a great need and motivation to study now! Is there anything that helps me to be civilized and make rapid progress, give some advice! ”

"There are many open courses on the Internet, covering psychology, behavior, and philosophy......

Zhuo Fan was not finished, and was interrupted by Mi: "Sister Tang, why are you inferior?" You're so pretty! More beautiful than the average star! How many girls would love to have a face like yours! ”

"I'm thirty-two, and this face can no longer satisfy my basic pursuit of life and life. I can rely on this face at the age of 20, I can barely use it at the age of 30, what about the age of 40, 50? People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries! ”

"Tang'er, you have changed my prejudice against beautiful women! I used to firmly believe that beautiful women are all brainless and ignorant - without exception! There really are no exceptions! Tut! It's so good to know you both, you're both wonderful! Zhang Zhuofan clapped his hands and laughed.

"Cheers to the Three Wonders!" Xiaotang raised his coffee to clink glasses with the two.

"Cheers – coffee? Why don't we go to the bar for a drink? The three of us are not minors, let alone ordinary people! ”

After Mi slapped the table, the three of them looked at each other. Bao Xiaotang also patted the table, and looked at Zhang Zhuofan with raised eyebrows at the corners of his mouth. Zhang Zhuofan shrugged his shoulders and looked at Xiaotang with a smile.

"That's all! Listen to me! Mi slapped his bag and stood up. Without saying a word, he went to the checkout first, and then turned around and pulled them out of the coffee shop.

"I know of a bar, the Fox House Bar, not far from here, half an hour by car, and you can still have lunch there!" Xiaotang looked for directions on his phone.

The three of them got into the car and soon arrived at the fox house bar. Rare guests, flowing lights, chic décor, ethereal music...... In the bar with a unique aroma, the two sisters sat dry, and Mi held a list to order wine.

"A glass of Bloody Mary for this bespectacled sister! She needs to get drunk because she's so sober! The Mi Chong waiter ordered, but his eyes looked at Zhang Zhuofan.

"I can't drink! I went to the company to work overtime in the afternoon! Zhuo Fan reminded quickly.

"It's okay! Give her another glass of orange juice and a little more! After the rice was finished, several people laughed.

"Bring this beautiful sister a low-alcohol cocktail, you recommend one! She can't get drunk, she's got to stay awake this afternoon! After the rice was ordered, Chong Xiaotang squeezed his eyes, and Xiaotang, who knew about it, lowered his head and smiled.

"What about me...... Come to the Passion Coast! I need to be half-drunk and half-awake this afternoon, not without alcohol! ”

After the rice order was paid, three glasses of wine came up soon. The three sisters sipped their wine eye to eye, puffing back and forth, their mood like the music of a bar—hanging in the air.

"Hey sisters, I've had a puzzle lately. I'm a classmate, I'm the same age as me, I'm not in love, I'm pregnant, and I'm a forty-year-old man! My mom and their sisters all know about it, and when I know it, I don't know why, I'm so happy...... No, it should be a surprise! Because that girl used to laugh at me a lot, it was supposed that when something so big happened to her, I should have expressed silence, understanding, misfortune or support, but I secretly couldn't help it! The thief was pleased, and I snickered in the house at the thought of it...... Make me look at me - despicable! ”

After the rice ended, the two sisters laughed.

"And! A relative of mine, a few years older than me, married a rich second generation, used to come to my house to show off in the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is good, her husband cheated! is also with a divorced eldest sister, the other party is forty years old and has a baby! When I heard my mom do this, I couldn't stop laughing—giggling and not daring to make a sound! Oh, I think I'm so disgusting, but I can't help but laugh...... And my uncle, who is not a relative, taught me, looked down on me, compared me with his daughter, and embarrassed my parents in all kinds of ways, which is good, he fell - the tail vertebrae were broken! My, I've been secretly having fun for a month! What to do? I don't think I can control my heart, I want to be a noble person! ”

Mi took care of himself, and the two people next to him laughed and burst into tears.

"I've been really annoyed by this lately, and my true reaction in my heart is seriously inconsistent with what I morally think I think. My sanity is broken, it can't control me, I feel like I'm not good, I'm evil, I'm ...... I'm okay if others want to be good, I'm really excited and surprised when I see other skirts! I can't talk to my parents, I'm panicking! ”

The three of them laughed for a long, long time, and Xiaotang's stomach was already so shocked that he had no strength. After calming down, Zhang Zhuofan, who was slightly drunk, said: "Let me tell you, I kind of want to change jobs!" It's not fun to do it under the hands of the teacher! Sometimes when ...... The feeling of free labor, your achievements cannot be greater than that of your mentor, and many experiments you have done and many articles you have written have all been stamped with his name in the end...... Ay! Zhuo Fan was depressed in his heart.

"All so! That's why my parents let me go abroad to go to school, ...... at home Don't mention it! The problems you encounter are the ones that almost every graduate student and Ph.D. encounter. My dad has been in contact with a few professors, and the errand runners are all doctors! My dad was shocked, it's so expensive to recruit a doctor by himself, how can he mentor a doctor...... What a fall! No way, on the relationship between Sun Wukong and his master Tang Seng. ”

Zhuo Fan didn't want more, so he only lowered his head and drank.

After three cups, there were three more cups, and the three of them had a brief lunch in the middle, and ordered three more cups after lunch. The wine is strong and the sisters are in trouble, and they have a lot of heartfelt words and a lot of life paths.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after sending Zhang Zhuofan away, Momi instigated Bao Xiaotang to call Zhang Ke. At that time, as soon as he opened WeChat, Xiaotang saw Zhang Ke send a lot of messages. For the sake of his sister's love, Xiaotang went out and dialed Zhang Ke's phone with a breath. Laughing, hee-ha, a few words, discussing the place and time, the three of them rushed to the destination.

In the dim and fragrant Starbucks, the largest commercial plaza in the city, the two sisters found a hidden table, rubbed shoulders and heads together, sometimes with light and sometimes stupidly thinking about their great plans after meeting Zhang Ke.

Not long after, the handsome Zhang Ke arrived at the coffee shop wearing handsome and beautiful clothes. Momi, who had been squinting at the door, was worried when he saw Zhang Ke, quickly withdrew, hid at another table, and put on a hat and sunglasses that he had just bought. Zhang Ke found Bao Xiaotang at a glance in the crowd, Xiaotang hadn't finished listening to Momi's plan, and the protagonist came first.

After the two sat down, they each had a ghost.

"You're here so early!" Zhang Ke scratched his chin, smiled, and sat down, and the table was filled with a strong smell of men's perfume.

"What do you drink?" A moment later, Zhang Ke held Xiaotang in his left hand, which was wearing a famous watch.

"Uh...... Whatever! ”

Bao Xiaotang, who was at a loss, was a little confused, Momi just taught her this, that, and at this moment, she was a little panicked when she saw a big living person, who couldn't lie. She twisted her shoulders and squinted her eyes to ask for help, but Mi, who pretended to be deaf, ignored her at all.

"Oh, forget it, don't order it! I won't be able to stay long! Bao Xiaotang, who can't act, waved his hand directly for a showdown.

"What's wrong? Isn't it good to be about here? Or is something wrong? Zhang Ke was stunned, Bao Xiaotang's reaction made him feel a little weak.

"No, no, no! No! How! Oops......" Xiaotang scratched her ears and cheeks, wanting to tell the truth but feeling that the truth was very bizarre, she froze when she didn't know how to express it.

Zhang Ke was puzzled, took a deep breath, and asked politely, "You...... Straight! Are you going to reject me? Seeing that Xiaotang ignored him for several days, Zhang Ke was ready to be rejected.

Xiaotang was stunned by the question and stared at the flower board. When she came back to her senses, she nodded and said, "Yes!" I'm going to reject you! I don't know how to speak...... Uh, welcome..."

"It's not that I haven't been rejected, it's not a reason why you refused first. If I can accept it, then I will accept it, if I can't accept it, I will continue to chase you! Zhang Ke looked more serious, put down the keys to the BMW, put down the mobile phone and wireless headphones, clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the back of the chair, and listened carefully.

Xiaotang clasped his fists with both hands, grinded back and forth, pondered for a long time, and then said solemnly: "First of all, I have to show my attitude - I don't like you, and I don't have the slightest feeling for you between men and women. There are many reasons, age, my emotional state, my life state, etc., etc., etc., in the final analysis, I will be with you Zhang Ke - it is impossible. Xiaotang was resolute, and that tone completely calmed Zhang Ke, who was rich in love.

"I asked you to come today because of a good sister of mine, her name is Momi, she saw your photo - your photo was given by me, screenshotted from your WeChat circle of friends, stealing your photo, I'm sorry first! Na...... This sister of mine, she saw your photo and felt very much, and liked it very much! Then, I asked you to come today, not for me, but for her—sincerely! ”

"Really? So exciting? Don't fix me! Zhang Ke cocked Erlang's legs, completely incredulous.

"I don't lie to you! Before you came, I was discussing with her how to talk to you, but I'm ...... The mouth is too stupid! I won't, I can only explain honestly......" Xiaotang was angry at himself for being stupid, covering his mouth and smiling bitterly.

Zhang Ke looked left and right, stretched out his neck, and glared at Bai Yanren to inquire: "So, that girl is also here?" ”

Xiaotang pursed his lips and smiled, squinted, and nodded.
