Chapter Twenty-Eight: Blind Date?

In this world, it is not too difficult to find two people of the opposite sex who match their appearance, but it is difficult to find two people of the opposite sex with a high degree of soul compatibility.

If you find it, you will miss it for one reason or another.

Besides, thoughts don't show up all the time.

Even if it is fully revealed, there is some credibility, which is a question worth considering.

or self-protection, or ill-intentioned, people in this world are used to disguise, and after a long time, they have forgotten their original faces.

One of the funniest jokes I've ever heard was when a woman said to me, "I've never lied in my life."

This is the biggest lie, but they swear so much, it can be seen that the most ruthless people in the world even lie to themselves.

-------------------------------------

Tomorrow?

There is no tomorrow in this world, and we will always live today.

The next day, Lin Yun hadn't gotten up yet, and the thing played with his mobile phone in the middle of the night and then fell asleep again.

I felt that someone came to the head of the bed and kissed me, and I looked at my daughter with sleepy eyes.

Then the little girl was called away by her grandmother again, telling her not to disturb her father's rest.

So this thing is sleeping very well now, I woke up a long time ago, I didn't open my eyes, I didn't want to get up, the kind of chaos is not opened, and it feels good between half asleep and half awake, the brain will not take the initiative to think about things, and if you don't open your eyes, you can vaguely hear and perceive some things around you, and the ethereal is so intoxicating that Lin Yun has not experienced the realm of Zhuangzi's leisurely travel for the time being, but pretending to be a grandson or pretending to be asleep is everyone's innate ability.

This state lasted for about half an hour or more, and the feeling of chaos slowly subsided, and Lin Yun returned to this clear and real world, which can be regarded as returning to the yang, and it will not work if he does not get up.

got up and washed, told my mother to take the child out to play for a day, don't prepare lunch for two at noon, in the mother's nagging admonition, Lin Yun and her daughter went downstairs.

As for my father, he has already gone out to the store, and the family's expenses, food, clothing, housing and transportation still depend on this store to sustain it.

Lin Yun took his daughter and ate a bowl of braised beef noodles in his heart first, Lin Yun ate a big bowl, and his daughter didn't finish one or two, and finally it all went into Lin Yun's stomach.

It's only been a few years since I've had a full meal, but I can't forget Ben!

Then take her daughter to take a two-story sightseeing bus, the route is uncertain, that is, to see everywhere, when I saw Beijing Hualian Shopping Mall, Lin Yun temporarily decided to take her daughter to the shopping mall, to see what to buy, yes, you should buy something for your daughter, this is the obligation of being a father!

When you come out, you don't have a destination, so you can be a terminal everywhere.

When Lin Yun took his daughter to the shopping mall, Luo Bing on the other side of the construction site was already miserable, this Lin Yun took leave to go home, leaving a big pool of urgent work, like the retaining wall of the temple, the foundation was not poured, the muck truck and crane that fell next to the roadbed were rescued, the compensation for the landowner has not been negotiated, the transport truck of the mixing station here cannot pass, but there are a few small roads to detour, but the local villagers will definitely not allow the heavy mixer truck to pass, even if it is allowed, There is a chance that a few centimeters of oil surface will be crushed, and it will cause follow-up contradictions, annoyance, this is Luo Bing's truest mood now.

There is also the matter of cutting corners in the fourth section of the roadbed, I heard that the procuratorate has intervened, and I don't know whether it is true or not, Lin Yun has only been gone for a day and two nights, and the command has brought two groups of people to each bid section to have a variety of material ledgers, whether there are people from the procuratorate's secret visit team in the two groups of people, Luo Bing really doesn't know, it may not be groundless, and careful response is the best policy, for the public prosecution organ, everyone should maintain a natural awe, of course, there are people who are not in awe, but most of them are transformed in some places where they should stay.

This Luo Bing, who usually looks stupid like a fool, is actually an extremely knowledgeable person, and everything he should know is clear, but this person would rather spend his energy and time elsewhere than engage in these things that rely on speculation to deal with people.

This birdman on the construction site, the supervisor is particularly unfriendly and does not serve, a deep discrimination and resentment against the supervisor in the heart from the root to the big tree, it is estimated that this mixed construction site has been a lot of supervisors over the years, has suffered a lot of losses, so that always resentful.

But the mixed construction site is always dealing with people, no, as soon as Lin Yun went home, he was blind, and all the copywriting and statistical work at hand was thrown to the little girl Zhang Yue, and she was tired of running around on the construction site alone.

Two groups of people came to the command in a row and ran back to receive him, he was tired, and the little girl Zhang Yue was also choking in the office.

The project manager, Boss Zeng, also returned to the project department in the evening of the same day when two groups of people came to the headquarters, and held a brief meeting in the evening, specifically for the verification of the four bids of the roadbed caused by a series of large-scale investigations of all the bids, which is not considered grapevine, but a top-down report of the whole report.

And the command must have also reported to the higher-level competent authorities, the news of the procuratorate's intervention is true, how this turmoil passes, it will be a test of the four standards of the roadbed and the first supervision office.

Boss Zeng held a short meeting in the project department and also temporarily notified all the bosses of the team and the on-site foreman of the team, and then fed back the news from many parties, there is nothing wrong with this section, but it must not be careless, this is the theme of the meeting.

The hurricane began at the end of Qingping, this kind of cusp, the slightest carelessness will become the main body of the negative teaching materials, which everyone does not want to see, so many efforts in exchange for bad results, for no one can accept.

Therefore, do your best first, any problem that violates the principles of this section, and anything that cannot be designed and standardized, as long as there is a little bit in this large-scale inspection, may be infinitely magnified.

But fortunately, the reason why everyone has been strictly controlling quality and safety, although they dare not pat their chests 100% and say that there is no problem, but there are certainly no principled quality problems, and there must be small flaws that are missed, and everyone feels that it is acceptable.

Now the main problem is to take advantage of this stall self-examination and self-correction, check and fill in the gaps, not only to make everyone aware of it, but also to remind everyone that in the future, we must strengthen the control of all links and processes.

Well, because the management work in the early stage of this section was done well, and the following did not let the horses go freely, so everything is still on the normal track.

Early the next morning, Luo Bing got up early in the morning, and when he was tired of running at various construction sites on the construction site, Boss Zeng called and said that Director Wang of the headquarters had negotiated with the owner of the land and nursery next to the roadbed of the overturned car, and the compensation agreement had been signed and could be constructed normally.

The kid quickly called the roadbed team to prepare to pour the retaining wall, and then called the concrete mixing station again, asking him to start mixing the C20 concrete of the retaining wall an hour later.

On the construction site, there are all kinds of concrete with different grades, even if the planned amount of concrete and the planned pouring time are submitted in advance, but because the concrete marks used at each site are different, the master and dispatch of the mixer on the side of the mixing station must be supported in advance before pouring, and the rest is the internal coordination of the mixing station, which is the practice.

It can be regarded as the end, Luo Bing guarded the retaining wall next to the temple and did not even go back to the project department to eat lunch, all the construction personnel sent the meal to the construction site, the workers and masters took turns to eat, and then did the meal, Luo Bing also mixed a box lunch to eat, this kind of scene is also a common thing on the construction site.

The concrete arrived at the retaining wall site at 10:30 a.m. and was poured around 3:50 p.m.

After removing the formwork tomorrow, you can backfill the back of the wall, and after the concrete strength of the retaining wall reaches 75%, you can use the roller to roll, pour a layer of retaining wall, backfill a layer of the back of the platform, and roll a layer of roller, which is the end of the day, there will be no more stones and soil to fall, and finally complete a top priority.

All the work on the construction site is done one by one, and there is no place for opportunism.

All opportunistic methods are strictly prohibited by laws, regulations and construction specifications, which is the real construction project.

Here Luo Bing is busy at the construction site, and Lin Yun is also having fun with his daughter in his hometown.

Clothes, skirts and shoes must be bought, and you can't let your daughter go further and further in the direction of the female man.

Lin Yun wanted to buy a three-wheeled bicycle for his daughter in the mall, and when he saw that the price was more than 300, Lin Yun was a little hesitant, not that Lin Yun was reluctant to spend money on his daughter, but that it was a little expensive.

The daughter shouted that she wanted to sit on the small train running around on the first floor of the mall, Lin Yun had no choice but to take her daughter to sit first, and asked closely, with the shopping receipts of the day in the mall, as long as it is more than 100, you can take a free ride, yes, free fools don't sit it.

Taking advantage of the stall of taking the small train with his daughter, Lin Yun opened Jingdong Mall with his mobile phone and looked at the same three-wheeled stroller he just saw, I went, it was half cheaper, only a hundred and a few yuan, and I placed an order without hesitation.

Money is not easy to earn, but it is easy to spend, the consensus of the working class.

After taking the train, Lin Yun originally decided to take her daughter to watch an anime movie, but her mother called and said that she had to go back to dinner in the evening and wanted to tell him something.

Lin Yun looked at the time at more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and with his daughter who was still unsatisfied after taking the small train, he still chose to take the sightseeing bus on the second floor, and still took his daughter to sit on the upper floor.

Along the way, this familiar city has changed too much in recent years, many of the barren mountains and mountains in Lin Yun's memory and the tattered and dusty urban-rural junction have all become new high-rise buildings in the new urban area, and the wide avenues that have been newly planned and constructed extend in all directions.

In recent years, the built-up area of the city has increased exponentially, not only Lin Yun's hometown, this is what is happening everywhere in the whole country, as long as you calm down and take a good look, and compare it with your memory, you can clearly feel this change.

Changing with each passing day, the sea is changing, this is something we didn't even dare to think about before, but today it has all become a reality, piece together little by little on the map of our city, of course, this is only from the perspective of Lin Yun as an engineer, there are really a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and everyone sees the world from a different angle!

When she went home to eat, the little girl became more and more clingy to her father, and she had to sit next to her father when eating, and what the two of them ate outside at noon was even eaten by Lin Yun in her arms.

In front of his grandparents, the little guy didn't dare to be presumptuous, but he was close to his father.

"Aunt Han next door is introducing you to a girlfriend."

"Hmm."

As soon as he talked about this question, Lin Yun began to pretend to be stupid.

"Why don't you see you tomorrow?"

For this kind of blind date meeting directly, Lin Yun is not very cold.

Didn't my mother ask this question last night, although Lin Yun didn't give a clear answer, but the meaning was obvious, and it was only a night later.

This mother is also really anxious, for fear that Lin Yun will not find the same, she will ask people everywhere, and in the past two years of divorce, as long as Lin Yun is at home, she will not be able to escape this old-fashioned drama.

Forget it, let her go, where there are so many suitable ones, where there are so many love at first sight, see me and don't suffer.

"Hmm."

The answer was still vague.

However, Lin Yun's mother didn't mean to discuss it, so she just ordered it directly.

"This is the phone number, WeChat is also this number, you can make an appointment with her yourself tomorrow."

“……”

This kind of operation made Lin Yun feel that it was a big mistake to teach his parents to use smartphones and WeChat, which is too much to keep pace with the times.

A group of elders who can use WeChat send various expressions, all kinds of chicken soup texts, all kinds of health preservation experiences, and all kinds of life insights on WeChat relatives and friends every day.

It's really a bit unexpected for young people, these elders not only raised a variety of similar groups of relatives and friends, but also captured the circle of friends, causing most people to send WeChat and set up in groups, and in order to be unnecessarily embarrassed, they must also block the elders, Lin Yun smiled bitterly in his heart.

A group of friends and family? Lin Yun's entire group of relatives and friends has long been in Do Not Disturb mode.

It starts at four or five o'clock in the morning, and it doesn't end after twelve o'clock in the evening, it is very lively and boiling, and you sing and I take the stage, not because I dislike the elders, but really make the young people unbearable.

After dinner, Lin Yun, who was lacking in interest, still followed his mother's wishes and took someone's phone number sent by his mother and began to add, the name is not bad, Lai Ping, it is rare to see young people using their real names as nicknames.

I added it after reporting the door.

"Hello, I'm Lin Yun."

"Hello, I'm Lai Ping."

This kind of formulaic blind date appeared earlier than the "formula cross talk" of a doctor and wife in Shanghai, and it is even more old-fashioned and vulgar.

Report to each other's homes, ask casually, and Lin Yun went straight to the point.

"Why don't you have a meal tomorrow, everyone is so busy, why do you have to deal with the kindness of the elders, you say."

"Yes, you choose a place, and tell me when you're ready."

Each has their own hearts, and the two of them make an appointment to eat, which is a beginning of the explanation of the elders on both sides, and then go home after dinner tomorrow, and there will be no intersection again, it is estimated that both of them think so in their hearts.

Lin Yun threw down the phone, her grandparents bathed the little girl, and her daughter asked her father to dress her.

Lin Yun put on her daughter's clothes, because today was the weekend, and her daughter was going to kindergarten tomorrow, so Lin Yun carried her daughter to her own bed.

The daughter still wants to listen to the story, but this time she didn't ask for what type she had to listen to, she just yelled to listen to the story.

Lin Yun tells one story after another, most of them are made up, anyway, they are all fooling children, just add some rules to make children obedient and abide by, this is the ultimate meaning of telling stories to children.

The content of the story is from shallow to deep, children have no concept of many words, you have to concretize him, Lin Yun has worked hard in this regard.

For example, when you tell your daughter about aliens, the child will think about what the aliens are like, and then they will ask, don't say it, people who have worked hard to fool children are a set.

What are aliens like? No one has seen it, but you can't tell the child that you haven't seen it, you have to guide the child to develop the habit of self-imagination, all the empty and indescribable things can be completed by guiding the child's thinking to let her make up for it, but you can't use your imagination to limit and stifle the child's imagination, so the father is not so easy to be, otherwise what are you the father!

"Dad, where are the aliens?"

"Above the stars in the sky."

"The stars are so small"

"The stars are big, and we're so far away that they look small."

"What do aliens look like?"

"Well, aliens look like pencils, yogurt, snails...... Some are big, as big as a house, some are as big as a mountain, some are small and small, some are as small as ants, and some stand in front of you and you can't see them. ”

The little girl became interested in aliens who looked like yogurt.

"Can the alien who looks like yogurt drink it?"

"Yes, he'll give it to his friends."

"Then if we finish drinking the yogurt, will the aliens die?"

"No, the yogurt I drank the next day grew back."

The little girl's eyes flashed wide, and she was imagining, children, ideas are all wild.

We were all children, but we have forgotten, or more accurately, we have lost the way we thought when we were children.

Lin Yun didn't know what the concept of death was in the child's mind, maybe it was just an incomprehensible symbol, maybe it was the fear that the person he loved would never see again.

"Daddy, Daddy, do aliens have mom and dad?"

The little girl finally returned to reality, it is a good thing to be imaginative, but what I am afraid of is that she will not be able to come back if she travels far away, and her boundless fantasy will always return to reality.

Hegel once said: "A nation must have a group of people who look up to the stars in order for them to have hope." ”

This sentence is very correct, very correct, but at this stage, not all people can look up at the starry sky, in that case, this nation has no hope at all, stepping into the interstellar era, everyone looks up to the starry sky time is still far away from us.

The system, education, give interested people enough upward channel and space, do not be misled by the useless remarks of reading in recent years, our education at all levels is actually a huge and rigorous selection and screening process, only people who can prove themselves good enough can enjoy better and more educational resources.

As for the return to society after the end of education, the results of each individual's efforts vary widely, but this has nothing to do with the fairness and justice of education.

Every family's wealth and connections are different, so the results of everyone's efforts are different, and it is better to try to close the gap than to complain at such times.

It is impossible for everyone to do what Jack Ma has done, and not everyone can be a great scientist, but we can do it as hard as they did.

The expectation of a person who lives in the world to get rich overnight is as ridiculous as a person who dreams of winning the jackpot but never buys a lottery ticket.

Lin Yun was thinking crankily while dealing with the little girl.

"There must be, not only mom and dad, but also grandparents, younger siblings and older siblings."

"Do aliens also go to kindergarten?"

"I'm sure I'm going to read it."

"And how did the aliens come about?"

I'll go, this question made Lin Yun difficult, this thing is thinking about this question seriously, racking his brains to come up with an answer that he thinks is not bad.

"Every alien girl has a small house in their belly, and as they grow up, this little house will grow up, and then when they grow into adults, a seed will grow in the little house, and finally become a little alien."

"Then how did the little alien come out of my mother's belly?"

"Of course, I went to the hospital and asked the doctor's aunt and nurse sister to help take it out."

Nowadays, children are really blue, children less than three years old can make an adult tired of parrying, Lin Yun quickly changed the topic in order to prevent the little girl from asking questions that he could not answer and describe.

"Xuanxuan is about to go to bed, get up early tomorrow, Dad will send you to kindergarten."

"Okay, Dad is going to talk about it, let's pull the hook."

Lin Yun and the little girl began to pull the hook, and the little girl recited these incantations of the hook and hanged them clearly.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, you can't change for a hundred years, if you change, it's Zhu Bajie......"

Hey, society has progressed, and even this spell has changed, although Lin Yun can't remember how he read it when he was a child, but it's definitely not like this.

"Sleep."

Lin Yun settled his daughter, returned to his room, took a change of clothes, and began to wash.

After washing up, I went back to bed, picked up my phone and looked, there was a message.

I thought it was sent by a blind date, but it turned out to be the female traveler I met on the train.

"Brother, I followed your method here, entered a QQ group, and made an appointment with a few people to leave in two days."

After reading the news, Lin Yun faintly felt that it was really a bit inappropriate for him to recommend this woman to participate in such a group, because those people are really a mixture of dragons and snakes, where are the examples of cheating money and sex, not much, but definitely a lot.

Since this woman has joined such a group, her personal safety is no problem, but if she really loses both people and money, it will make Lin Yun a little uneasy, forget it, let's remind her.

"Well, stay safe, be careful with strangers, not everyone is as sincere as they seem."

"Well, I know, brother."

Until now, this woman and Lin Yun don't know each other's names, but this woman chose to trust Lin Yun, so she sent Lin Yun a WeChat message, which also made Lin Yun a little helpless.

"Ask your companion for advice on anything, after all, you are familiar with it."

"Okay."

Lin Yun thought about it and added this sentence, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

Let's sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to send my daughter to school, by the way, I have to go on a blind date.
