Chapter 18: I Am the Elite [2]
Ling Ran waved his hand to the waiter, let him add coffee, and serve another plate of pastries and a plate of fruit.
Shao Chengzhi laughed: "It's really delicious." The girls I went on a blind date ate almost nothing, probably because they were afraid of getting fat. ”
Ling Ran held the coffee cup, glanced at Shao Chengzhi for a few seconds, seemed to be smiling, and said leisurely: "The girl is full at home before the blind date, and it is a fart to go out and pretend to be showy." Some girls, in front of that man, picked out a bowl of wontons and green onions one by one. Actually, a 4-year-old classmate, who doesn't know her garlic head. ”
Shao Chengzhi suddenly laughed.
Ling Ran smirked.
"Hmm. Shao Chengzhi explained, "Pickled garlic is a local specialty in my hometown, and when there is no other food in winter, I take this meal for a meal, and every family is like this." ”
Ling Ran pursed her lips and said, "However, it doesn't matter." How can a 28-9-year-old female doctor compare with the daughter of a builder who just graduated from college, not for the thousands of family properties, but also for the young and beautiful. ”
"It's not like that. Shao Chengzhi was anxious, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately found that he was obedient, what a big trap, and the worst thing was that he could fall from left to right.
Shao Chengzhi was silent for a few seconds, and sorted out his thoughts: "When people are looking for a spouse, they want to find someone with good conditions, this should be an instinct." At least before the two get along, when there is no emotion, the objective conditions must be considered first. The foundations of marriage: emotional, sexual, and economic matters are too complicated for us to discuss for the time being; for men, young and beautiful people are certainly more attractive than mediocre in appearance; good family conditions or high personal income are certainly more attractive than poor and low-income. ”
However, both men and women pay the price of time, energy and money to find a spouse, and divorce hurts feelings and financial interests even more, so when everyone gets married, they will hope that their marriage will last forever so that there will be no secondary expenses. ”
"A girl in her 20s, still at the end of puberty, has an unstable personality, is impulsive, prone to emotional ups and downs, and lacks a clear understanding of herself. Chao Qin Duchu is very common for girls of this age, not because of morality, but because she doesn't know what she really wants, so she can only try one by one. In fact, the so-called love of a girl at that age, especially the love of that man, it is better to say that love is the illusion in her heart" Shao Chengzhi couldn't help but raise his eyes and quickly glanced at Ling Ran, "Well, if this girl is both young and beautiful, has a superior family background, and has a bit of personality charm, then I am afraid there is one more thing: young and frivolous, because she knows that she can afford to make mistakes." ”
Ling Ran was embarrassed: This man is so annoying.
Shao Chengzhi thought about it and said slowly, "But I am 30 years old this year, a man of this age already has a full understanding of himself, and his personality tends to be stable, and there is not much room for change, plus I am born with a more stubborn personality, not good at words, boring and boring, and not good temper."
"I'm not in a hurry to get married and have children now, but I'm looking for my lifelong partner for the purpose of marriage. I'm very busy at work, the project is stressful, I don't have time, and I don't know how to go to the wind and snow, and I'm going straight to the topic of blind date love now, so I was asked to find another girl in her 20s, a girl whose maturity is not ready for marriage, a young girl who may change her mind at any time, and I don't have the patience to play love games with me anymore. What I need is someone who is about the same age as me, because he is mature, so rational" Shao Chengzhi said whatever Li Zhao thought of, reacted quickly and expressed clearly, but this was the first time to talk about his thinking in front of a girl, his brain and mouth were a little unable to catch up, and the more he talked, the slower he became, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
The more Ling Ran listened, the more strange it became: "Look for it again, and then go to play love games with you?"
Could it be that this man has been teased by a girl cruelly? Ling Ran looked at it for a long time: Please, I also count many men, I really can't see that you are so honest and stupid.
Shao Chengzhi was embarrassed, "Oh, talk in generalities." ”
Ling Ran let out an "um".
Shao Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, only Li Zhao knew about this matter, but Li Zhao never took it seriously, and if he thought about it carefully, it was really nothing-Shao Chengzhi was a little ashamed to speak.
"That was before I went abroad. After I signed the card, I went home for two weeks to say goodbye to my family. In the past, I never went home during the summer vacation, and I stayed home for a week at most during the winter vacation, but that time I went abroad, and once I left, it was absolutely impossible to return to China before graduation because I didn't have that spare money. ”
"After a few days at home, I went to visit my middle school homeroom teacher, who was already the principal of the county No. 1 middle school at the time. Shao Chengzhi suddenly smiled bitterly. "When I went back to my hometown that time, there were really not one or two people who came to introduce me to the object, I refused on the grounds that I was about to go abroad and had no time to fall in love, but the introducer said: meet first, and you can talk slowly after going abroad in love. Unexpectedly, my teacher also said this, insisted that I meet once, and we met the next day, and told me that the girl was very beautiful. ”
"The teacher introduced his wife's niece, and I really couldn't refuse, so I had to agree, thinking that I would meet and make a business anyway. ”
"The girl was a student in the Chinese Department of our provincial normal university, and she was in her senior year. To be honest, when I went on a blind date, I didn't plan to fall in love with her, because she studied liberal arts, and she studied Chinese, and the university she studied was also unknown, and after she came to the United States, what school and what major to apply for, and I had that scholarship, and I couldn't afford to pay her tuition. Her parents work in the county institution, our county is a notoriously poor county, the county government often arrears civil servants' wages, so her parents' economic ability is limited anyway, from the objective situation, I do not have the conditions to marry such a wife, so that day's blind date was purely a formality, I chatted with her casually, had lunch, and sent her home. ”
"It only took 10 minutes to walk from the east end to the west end of our county, and when I was about to get to her house, she invited me to go to her house to sit down, and I resolutely declined. ”
"But the next day, to my great surprise, the girl came to my house by herself to look for me. At that time, my family had moved to the county seat, although the conditions were a little better than in the village, but there were many people in the family, and it was really dirty and messy. She helped my mom with the housework. In fact, she is an only child, and I think she obviously doesn't know much about housework, but she learns to cook with my mother. To be honest, I didn't think she needed to do this, and was a little wary, so after lunch, I sent her home at once, and told her tactfully not to come again. However, she came again the next day, and then the third. I was a little touched - I was dirty and poor and had never been so courteous to me before. ”
"My family was full of praise for her, and after three days, my mind was confused. I deliberately went out to make a long-distance call to Li Zhao, my friend who was admitted to Peking University. He graduated with a master's degree a year before me, and was working as a clerk in the Beijing Municipal Government at that time. Li Zhao is very buddy, it is very inconvenient to get from Beijing to his hometown, there is no direct train, and he has to transfer to a long-distance bus from the provincial capital of another province. When Li Zhao saw the girl, he slapped the table and said, 'This girl is good, you can marry.' ”
"I said, 'She's learning Chinese.'" Li Zhao said, "What's the matter, it's just a bachelor's degree, anyway, you can go to the United States to study R (master's degree), just change to a popular major." ”
"I said, 'It's so easy to apply?, and where is the tuition?', and Li Zhao said, 'You are a big man, how can you chirp crookedly, looking for a wife and considering economic issues, it's too unmanly.'" ”
"I said, 'I don't have feelings for her.'" Li Zhao said: 'Such a beautiful girl, you haven't felt it yet'. Seriously, I don't really think she's pretty, at least she's not the kind I like. However, she does look pure and delicate, with the gentleness of a small jasper. A man looking for a wife is not a director picking a movie star, anyway, it is more than enough for her to marry me. ”
"I was dizzy, but fortunately I couldn't stay at home for a few days, and even though she came to my house every day, we didn't talk much. Then, I went to the United States. After arriving in the United States, she contacted me through Q-Q, and despite the time difference, she still waited for me online every day. I just arrived in the United States, and I didn't fit in, I didn't know anyone, and I was very lonely. She gave me a lot of warmth and made me feel worried. That year, I hesitated repeatedly, and two voices were speaking to me at the same time, one said: Just her, IKEA IKEA, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for. The other said, "I am not reconciled, because my heart has not yet beaten for her." ”
A year has passed in the blink of an eye, she is about to graduate, and she doesn't want to go back to the county to become a Chinese teacher, so she looks for a job. She has a distant relative who is a bit powerful in the province, and if she is willing to help, she can help. But people don't seem to be very enthusiastic. She wants to go to Shenzhen and Hainan to break through, and her family is not at ease Anyway, if I can return to China to marry her and take her abroad, it will definitely be the best. I had all kinds of entanglements, I didn't plan to return to China -- in order to go abroad, I borrowed all my relatives and friends, raised a total of 50,000 yuan, paid training fees, bought air tickets, bought luggage, and saved some scholarships during the year, which was used to pay off debts as soon as possible, not to run around China and the United States during the summer vacation; and although I chatted with her on Q-Q every day, I had not yet formally confirmed my relationship, so did I just go back to China and marry her?"
"But she said she was lonely, depressed, and missed me. In the end, I decided to go back to China. I told her that I was coming back to see my parents and friends, and that I wasn't going to get married so soon, and that I was coming back this time to meet her again and develop a relationship with each other, and I said that if we developed well, I would return to China next year. Actually, when I returned to China, I came back with a single certificate, and I think if we meet this time, I feel very good that we will be prepared with both hands anyway, and it must be right. Shao Chengzhi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ling Ran's curiosity was all hooked.
"Well, I didn't tell her about the proof of singleness, maybe, she thinks I'm not sincere. Shao Chengzhi muttered.
"Come on, in order to develop a relationship, I made a special trip back from the United States, even if I didn't promise to get married, sincerity must be enough. Ling Ran said.
"That could be, she thought, wasn't sure about me. Shao Chengzhi smiled, sighed, and shook his head.
"What is sure or not, whether there is sincerity or not, if I were her, as long as you give me a chance, I will try my best to get you done. Ling Ran waved her hand, "What are you selling, say it quickly." ”
Shao Chengzhi laughed: "Miss, I didn't sell it, I haven't figured out what's going on until today." ”
