Chapter 199: Blind Date in Disguise
There is a convenience store at the entrance of the community, about two or three hundred meters, and along the way, Lin Jiaming took the initiative to find topics to chat.
"How is it to live alone in Shanghai, it's hard, isn't it?"
"It's okay."
"When I graduated, I didn't think about staying in Shanghai, and the hospital at home was relatively quiet."
"Well, I have a friend in the hospital in Shanghai, and it's really busy."
"Yes, so the life is my own, it's too hard and it's really unnecessary, although I have to work overtime at home, but I don't work overtime day and night, I can't stand the rhythm of Shanghai, and I ...... when I intern."
Lin Jiaming started the chatter mode again, but a few hundred Qiao's journey, Tan Man also got to know him for the first time, a little self-aggrandized, not very motivated, he was thinking about how to enjoy life at a young age, maybe their family conditions were good since childhood.
"By the way, I just bought a house in the new district last month, which is in Shanghai, and it is far away."
Lin Jiaming had a hint of pride in his words, Tan Man just smiled slightly, at this moment, she suddenly missed Gu Mochen, thought of his calmness, thought of his politeness and humility, thought of his hard work, and thought of his graceful demeanor, it turned out that this blind date made her more and more firm in her mind, and no one was more in line with her than Gu Mochen.
If it weren't for you, I'd rather have more than abundant,
But what about you?
"Vines?" Lin Jiaming, who was beside him, frowned and shouted to her, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Tan Man came back to his senses, and his voice was a little lighter than before: "What's wrong?" ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and didn't say anything more.
During the meal, the elders were still intoxicated with good expectations, chatting while eating, but Lin Jiaming was obviously a little more silent than just now, and Tan Man didn't say a few words, each meal had his own thoughts, maintaining the peace on the surface.
After the meal, the mother and daughter did not stay long, and sat for a while before going back.
Tan Man was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Xu Qiong said with a smile while cleaning up the stove: "I did bad things with good intentions, I didn't know that he would follow." ”
"Thank you, auntie, you understand me, but it's good for him to come, I think my attitude, he understands it somewhat." Tan Man flushed the last bowl and turned off the water.
"Marriage is a lifelong thing, you have to pick one you like, otherwise, a long life is torment." Xu Qiong sighed.
Xu Qiong was right, Tan Man pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Aunt Xu, what do you think of Lawyer Gu?" ”
Xu Qiong didn't think about it, and blurted out: "I care about you." ”
"Huh?" She looked at Xu Qiong with wide eyes.
"The night you rushed back from Shanghai, you didn't notice that there was a medical cart by the door of the ward, if it weren't for Xiao Gu reaching out to block you from behind, it is estimated that your small waist would be dark for several days."
"I don't remember anything." Tan Man frowned.
Xu Qiong smiled: "You were thinking about your father at the time, of course you couldn't see that the back of Xiaogu's hand was blackened." ”
Tan Man looked stunned, looked at Xu Qiong fixedly, and didn't know what to say for a while.
One afternoon, Tan Man locked himself in his room, on the one hand to avoid his father Tan Weiguo, and on the other hand, he was entangled in what to do with Gu Mochen.
She really wanted to know what the lawyer thought, but she was at a loss when she was looking forward to it, lying on the bed and thinking wildly, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
The mobile phone rang next to the bed, and Tan Man glanced at the screen in a daze, it turned out to be Li Zhu.
She sat up from the bed and cleared her throat: "Brother Li? ”
"Teacher Tan, it's me, didn't bother you, did you?" Li Zhu was as polite as ever.
Since the last hospital medical incident, she has never seen him again: "Don't bother, is there something wrong with Xiaoqin?" ”
"No, no, no," Li Zhu said, "I just wanted to call to thank you and Lawyer Gu, you are really noble people in our family." ”
Tan Man didn't quite understand: "Thank us? ”
"Yes, I'm sorry for the fact that I went back to the hospital last time, not only were you not angry, but you also asked Lawyer Gu to find me a job, I really don't know what to say, Mr. Tan, you don't have a scar on your face, right?"
When Tan Man heard this, he didn't understand even more: "Don't worry, my face is fine, but I don't quite understand, what do you mean when you say that Lawyer Gu is looking for a job for you?" ”
"You don't know?" Li Zhu was also stunned for a moment, and explained, "Last week, Lawyer Gu found me a job as a warehouse manager, or the night shift, which does not conflict with my work on the construction site during the day, and can earn a lot more money...... Hey, I went to the hospital to make trouble at that time, and I was really anxious for money, thanks to you and Lawyer Gu, you are really good people. ”
So that's the case, Tan Man blinked, "Brother Li, I really can't do this thing anymore, since I have an extra job now, then work hard, and life will be fine." ”
"Yes, yes, I will never do that mess again, Mr. Tan, Lawyer Gu is your boyfriend, he is really good to you, otherwise, he will not come to help me for no reason, I know that the storekeeper was also introduced to me by Lawyer Gu, you tell him for me, I will do a good job and not embarrass him."
"......" Tan Man was a little embarrassed, "Brother Li, you misunderstood, we are friends, don't look at Lawyer Gu's cold appearance, he is actually quite enthusiastic in his heart, I will tell him." ”
……
Hung up the phone, Tan Man leaned against the bed in a daze, for a while, she picked up the phone again, flipped out Gu Mochen's WeChat, the advice that day seemed a little ambiguous to her, and she never replied.
After thinking about it, I quickly typed a few words on the screen and pressed send.
"I went on a blind date today, and I knew better what I wanted after it was over."
One minute, two minutes, one hour, two hours...... This time it was Gu Mochen's turn and there was no reply.
It turns out that this feeling is really bad, very bad.
I don't know if I slept too much in the afternoon, or subconsciously waited for a reply, Tan Man had insomnia, tossed and turned until the second half of the night, and then fell asleep in a daze, and the next morning, with a pair of slightly dark eyes, got up and cooked two bowls of noodles.
While eating noodles, Tan Weiguo glanced at her and asked, "No, sleep well?" ”
Tan Man lazily raised his eyelids and said, "I probably drank too much tea yesterday." ”
Tan Weiguo nodded, and said: "You, Aunt Niu said, today, home, Jiaming, vacation, for a while, over, come here, send some New Year's goods, I'll keep him, eat, you, hot, a little affectionate, don't, don't follow, yesterday, the same." ”
Tan Man sucked the noodles slowly, and when he heard his father's words, his originally not very sunny mood became even more gloomy: "What happened to me yesterday?" ”
"You say, what's the matter, what's the matter, board, board, face, no, don't speak." Tan Weiguo frowned slightly.
Tan Man didn't want to quibble, she was really not interested in that Lin family, whether it was yesterday, today or tomorrow, she was very sure that she would never be able to talk to him, especially when she thought of the time when the two of them went to buy soy sauce together yesterday, the complacency and hedonism shown in his words made her instinctively disgusted and repulsed, yes, there are too many young people who have the same values as him, and it depends on the degree, if he is not too extreme, it cannot be regarded as derogatory, so judge him as good or not, It's not fair, but the parents' intentions are too obvious, this is an acquaintance who is rushing to get married, so she can only set the standard more harshly.
Considering that her father was recovering from a serious illness and her emotions couldn't fluctuate too much, she didn't reply, anyway, it wasn't a matter of getting married tomorrow, and the thoughts in her heart were not revealed for the time being, thinking that maybe she had a cold attitude, and the other party would be gone, and at that time, the parents would not be able to say.
"Again, no, talk?" Tan Weiguo put down his chopsticks and looked at her solemnly, "You, think, Jiaming, what, what?" ”
I wanted to escape from the past, but my father asked straight to the point, Tan Man swallowed the mouthful of noodles in his mouth, and said quietly: "That's it." ”
"Just, that's it? Which? ”
"Pretty tall."
"......" Tan Weiguo snorted, "You know, I, what do you mean." ”
"Dad, I met someone once, how do you let me judge?"
"Then, for a while, you two, again, okay, let's talk, I think, that, child, it's good, handsome, human, human, cheerful."
"Dad, I think you're getting better and better, you see, you talk about long sentences, and it's much smoother than before." Tan Man smiled, trying to divert the topic.
"Less, off topic." Tan Weiguo ignored her, "I observe, yesterday, his attitude towards you, also, very hot, enthusiastic, Aunt Niu's family, again, I know the roots, if you look for them, I can rest assured." ”
"Dad, you said before, just be a friend, it's good to know each other, why are you on the line now, as if you really want something."
"Now, that is, let the two of you, everywhere, familiar, familiar." Tan Weiguo said hard, "This guy, Dad, I like it." ”
"You've seen a guy and said okay, this conclusion is too fast, there are a lot of people out there who are better than him, better than him." Tan Man was a little unconvinced.
"I, I'm afraid, you think so, simple, been, deceived by the outside, those people!" Tan Weiguo raised his voice, "Shanghai, yes, the world of flowers, there are many men, but, no, it's not simple, rhetoric, the most, the easiest, confusing people." ”
Tan Man's disgust became more and more intense: "Dad, I am also an adult, and I also have the ability to judge and see people, besides, I am the one who falls in love and gets married and lives, I hope to find one I like." ”
"So, speaking of which, you don't like it, Jiaming?"
Tan Man didn't speak, lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.
"Or, say, you, already, have, like?"
Tan Man's heart was weak for a moment, but he still didn't speak.
"That day, that, that, man?" Tan Weiguo asked.
Tan Man finally raised his head, pursed his lips, and sighed: "No, no, Dad, let this matter take its course, okay, I'm not a thirty-year-old girl now." ”
"There is no object, when, of course, go with the flow, now, I see, you are, there is, the situation!"
"There is no situation, there is no object, you don't have to guess." Tan Man was irritable for a while, picked up the bowl, got up and said, "I'm done eating, go wash the dishes." ”
