"I am 38 this year, I have been a soldier for 5 years, I have been retired for a few years, I am currently engaged in IT projects in the Zhongguancun circle, with an income of about 300,000 yuan, and it is a little difficult to buy a house at present, but if you must buy a house, it is not impossible, it is okay to be a little farther away, but you don't have to worry about it......" The man said a bunch of words in one breath, and a mouthful of yellow teeth kept changing the position in his mouth, without the slightest intention of stopping. Xiaoxia looked at this scene, she couldn't control it, a sip of tea squirted out, and laughed, the man opposite was at a loss, and was suddenly stunned.

"Excuse me! I'm sorry! Xiaoxia forcibly held back her laughter.

"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry, it's my first blind date, and I don't know much about this process. I don't really approve of blind dates, but because my grandmother is still worried about me at such an age, I came to meet you. But it seems like we've just met, and you're saying that, isn't it a little early? ”

"Or maybe the blind date is like this. I'm still a little unacceptable, thank you for your tea today. Before the man woke up, Xiaoxia had already left the tea room briskly.

For Xiaoxia, it seems to be a very ridiculous thing to rely on a blind date to find a partner, she is just 25 years old, and she has a lot of unfulfilled dreams that need a person's freedom. Second, in Xiaoxia's theory, blind date is selling cabbage. And in this city, girls play the role of cabbage most of the time.

Either pick the figure, or pick the education, or pick the looks, pick the job, men are generally proud of having a hukou, even if they are full of yellow teeth, even if they are useless, even if they are Ma Bao men, they still feel that they have the right to choose. The strange things of friends who went on blind dates again and again made Xiaoxia even more afraid to pin her love on the blind date. Because she doesn't want to be one of the cabbages, and she doesn't want to be the one who chooses the cabbage. But for the men and women who work hard in this city, there is a kind of loneliness in the busy traffic that makes people have nowhere to hide. Many years later, Xiaoxia still retains the freedom of being single, but her heart has lost the pride of the cabbage theory of the day.

30 years old, 31 years old, 32 years old...... The age of the woman is increasing, and all the advantages of finding a partner are decreasing. Even Xiaoxia had to accept the blind date arrangement again. Sitting in the café, I still laugh when I think of the yellow-toothed uncle who went on a blind date for the first time. It is said that this time he is also an IT man, engaged in technology, and has a background in studying in the United States. is about 40 years old, these are the information popularized by the introducer before coming, of course, the other party also knows some about Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia thinks that in this case, the two people are each other's cabbage, that is, the cabbage screened by the introducer, but whether it is a category, it is all cabbage, or it is all cabbage, and it still needs to be seen to know.

According to the man's situation, Xiaoxia chose a well-known Starbucks coffee in a prosperous CBD area as the location of the first meeting, and arrived on time as scheduled, but this time, the plot reversed again, and the male protagonist never arrived. Conventional consciousness, girls are naturally late. Under the supervision of her mother, Xiaoxia deliberately wore a pale green dress, and she was specially draped in her hair on a June day, so she came to the appointment early, because the introducer said that this time the conditions were really good in all aspects. The introducer is a friend of my mother, an enthusiastic aunt, who has also worried about Xiaoxia's marriage many times in the past few years, but Xiaoxia has been prevaricated by various reasons, and now at this age, I really can't twist it, it seems to be good to listen to the description, so I just hugged it to see how about this cabbage? I accepted it as if I knew a friend.

Forty-five minutes, Xiaoxia couldn't wait any longer, so she dialed the phone number given by the introducer, and was about to get angry.

"Miss Liu? I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I've arrived, but I've been engaged in IT in Zhongguancun, I haven't been here, I don't know the road, I just found a parking space, can you send me a location, I'm really sorry, I'll ......be there soon"

"I know, I'll add you on WeChat." Hanging up the phone, Xiaoxia was furious in her heart, and the person who looked for a parking space for forty-five minutes must also be a strange person, and the nonsense on the phone has made Xiaoxia completely lose her expectations for this blind date. She took two sips of her coffee and couldn't help but want to laugh. After all, she is still very calm enough in her 30s, changed a glass of juice, and adjusted her mood while waiting. Just to open your eyes and gain insight, there just happened to be one more argument to confirm the cabbage theory, which is also good. The cabbage theory is Xiaoxia's theory of summarizing and summarizing blind dates, she once told her mother, and her mother said that this was a fallacy and heresy. This time there is finally another proof. The friends in the sister group in WeChat are also very concerned about Xiaoxia's blind date, and ask for the live broadcast progress at all times, Xiaoxia complained in the group and planned to leave. But my friends are also curious about what kind of strange person he is, and the turtle should be of good quality according to common sense. Maybe it's just a slower personality, or wait, everyone is here. Friends comforted. Xiaoxia looked at the time, dizzy, and the positioning was also sent, and it was actually another quarter of an hour, and the parking lot was only 5 minutes away from here. Just thinking about it, the other party initiates a shared location and asks to share the location. After Xiaoxia accepted it, she saw that there was still a distance of two or three kilometers. And is still moving in the opposite direction.

"Sir, you're going the other way around!" Xiaoxia dialed the phone, unabashedly her emotions.

"Ahh How come, oops, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I don't know the ......."

"Didn't I just tell you that you can find Starbucks when you come up from the parking lot and follow the signs at Dawn Supermarket on the first basement floor?! Also sent you the location?! Xiaoxia was full of questions, angry, and cola.

"Ahh I don't have a good sense of direction, and I'm afraid of your jokes, am I looking for the wrong one again! ”

"Well, I think it's better to forget about this meeting. Mr. Lin, I'll go back first! Xiaoxia said unceremoniously, can't you read a map if you study IT, a big man with no sense of direction, can't he ask for directions if he doesn't have a mouth under his nose! Xiaoxia thought to herself.

"Miss Liu, Miss Liu, don't be angry, I'm here, I pushed off a particularly important thing and rushed over today, and I ran away in vain if you left. Wait, I'll go back, and I'll be there for you in ten minutes. Wait a minute. Miss Liu? I ask you for coffee and apologize to you. ”

"Alright, just ten minutes!" Xiaoxia, thinking about it, her mother must be very meticulous in interrogation when she goes home, saying that she hasn't seen it, and the old man will definitely not let her go. I just put up with it, and I've been waiting for so long. Seeing that I had waited from 3 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 4 o'clock, it was not bad for ten minutes. At this time, the pot had exploded in the girlfriend group, and Xiaoxia ignored it. "I'll report to you later, someone is coming!" With a smile, Xiaoxia looked at her nails intently.

A few minutes later, the phone remembered. "Miss Liu, I'm here, where are you?" Xiaoxia looked at the door, there was a middle-aged man holding a phone, his hair was a little down, but it was in line with the way of IT people, his face was very wide, his beard looked like he hadn't been taken care of for a few days, lying on his lips indiscriminately, with a narrow-rimmed glasses, making the big face particularly conspicuous, wearing blue clothes, unable to distinguish the dividing line between the upper body and the lower body, although he was not short, he was shortened by this dress, and he was looking in.

"Here, here!" Xiaoxia beckoned, but she really couldn't face this male protagonist. Completely defeated her impression of turtles. In my impression, the turtles are all white-faced scholars in Korean dramas, and the person in front of him looks more like a cook. The sturdy hands are suitable for getting, but it's hard to imagine how to write programs on the keyboard. Xiaoxia thought crankily.

The man walked over and looked Xiaoxia up and down. "Miss Liu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hold out your hand as you speak.

Xiaoxia smiled: "Sit down" naturally put her hands behind her back.

"What to drink, what to drink, I'll buy it" The man with glasses stood up again. Prepare to walk to the help desk.

"No, I've already ordered it, you can order it yourself." Xiaoxia is polite.

As soon as the man with glasses heard Xiaoxia say this, he sat down and said that he was not thirsty. After that, the two fell into silent embarrassment. Xiaoxia looked at the person opposite, about 40 years old, although the clothes were not very decent, but they seemed to be famous brands. He wore a Piaget watch on his hand, and he was the only one in this outfit who looked decent.

"You know my basic situation. I haven't been here before, I'm sorry for being late! The man apologized again.

"My mother said that I am engaged in technology and want to find a down-to-earth person who can take care of my family, take care of me, do laundry, cook or something, and don't have to work......" The man didn't wait for Xiaoxia to react, and said his own requirements to himself. Xiaoxia looked at the scene in front of her, and remembered that time a few years ago, as if that person had said the same.

In their eyes, women are cooks, laundry, and free nannies. The shadow of a nanny cabbage who can cook and wash clothes appeared in Xiaoxia's mind, and it would indeed be more affordable, she smiled subconsciously.

"I think you're fine, if you agree, my mother said, just buy a house in Zhongguancun, and ......" The man caught that hint of a smile and continued.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I think I'm in the wrong place!" Xiaoxia interrupted the man's confident speech, turned around and walked straight out. The man was a little stunned, picked up the cup on the table and took two sips, as if he didn't notice anything wrong. After a few minutes, he also got up and left.

This is Xiaoxia's second blind date, from expectation, to disappointment, to despair and then to relief. Blind date is a relatively safe way to find a partner. The elders believed that this method could quickly achieve the process of flowering and fruiting. But he ignored the mood of the cabbages involved. Why is it picked as cabbage? Why choose a cabbage as your partner? Whether it is as the cabbage that is selected or the cabbage that is chosen, you have set rules and regulations for yourself in advance. But they didn't think about the feelings of the person on the other side. Why is there the idea of cabbage theory, Xiaoxia is not very clear, this word popped out of her head for the first blind date. Maybe it's because cabbage is the cheapest and most nutritious vegetable, or maybe Xiaoxia, who worked hard in those years, eats the most cabbage. This time confirms this cabbage theory even more, of course, sometimes picking cabbage is also a very happy thing, Xiaoxia's best friend Qiu Ping got married on a blind date, and the child is three years old, and he is quite happy.

So the cabbage theory is not a rigorous proposition. Life has gone through decades, who you meet and who will stay by your side are all fate. Therefore, the cabbage theory is also fate, when you meet the right person, you are willing to make a cabbage.
