Li Zhao looked at Shao Chengzhi with a displeased expression: "Why did you go on a blind date with such a little girl, and you want to be an uncle to others, so obscene." ”

Shao Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "I told people that I want to be over 25 years old, but people have to introduce me to such a small one, is it that people over 25 years old in China are all famous flowers?"

"Chengzhi, what are you dissatisfied with Wang Xia? Such a suitable wife candidate is in front of you, you are still there"

Shao Chengzhi's waist straightened suddenly: "Li Zhao, you are endless, your secretary is too much, isn't it, chirp crookedly, you can be promoted to be the aunt of the neighborhood committee." Shao Chengzhi was irritable, and reached out to grab Li Zhao's cigarette from the coffee table.

"Hah, I'm smoking again. Li Zhaole said, "Finally back to basics." Li Zhao also drew one out.

"I didn't say quit smoking, I just don't smoke much now. Shao Chengzhi pushed Li Zhao, "Let's go, let's suck it outside." Shao Chengzhi has not smoked in the United States for many years, and after returning to China, he became a little addicted to smoking.

The hallway was full of debris, cobwebs, and dust, and they couldn't stay at all, so the two ran all the way down from the sixth floor to the outside of the building, and one lit a cigarette.

Between the car and the building is a palm-sized flower bed. The National Day holiday, the cleaners are also lazy, the flower beds are full of domestic garbage discarded by residents, and the flower beds are all kinds of vegetables in the east and west, wilted, the leaves are full of floating ash, and the roots of the vegetables are all barren sand loess, Shao Chengzhi is puzzled: Can such a dish be eaten?

Shao Chengzhi was smoking and pondering vegetables, but Li Zhao was smoking and pondering what Shao Chengzhi was thinking.

Li Zhao and Shao Chengzhi have known each other for almost 20 years from junior high school to now, the two are not only young, classmates, but most importantly, the two are academic tyrants with superior intelligence at the same level, the same speed in response, the same sensitivity in comprehension, all kinds of tacit understanding in thinking, and all kinds of speculation in communication, so that the two of them have a heart and mind that others can't reach each other since they were genius teenagers. The level of understanding and intimacy between the two is far greater than that with their parents and siblings.

Li Zhao knows that he is an iron buddy who is closer than a brother, and under his simple appearance, he has a not so simple heart, for example, Shao Chengzhi, who is not good-looking, at least far inferior to himself, but he wears a big brand every day, and he irons his pants straight, please, why are you so sassy, you want to seduce an ignorant girl. Unlike himself, the suave shell is wrapped in the essence of simplicity and low-key, from head to toe, no more than 50 yuan of clothes, a servant of the people, it is so hard and simple.

After thinking about it like this, Li Zhao immediately felt that he had a heavy responsibility: "Chengzhi, do you really want to find a delicate little girl to be your wife? Can you, a 30-year-old uncle from the countryside, communicate with Miss Jiao, who comes out of the city with ten fingers and does not touch the spring water? In fact, when you really get along, can you understand the girlish heart of others, and can your marriage be stable? ”

Li Zhao paused for a moment and said earnestly: "Chengzhi, listen to my advice, men like us who shoulder the burden of improving the living conditions for the whole family and the living environment for the next generation. You must find a wife with the same background, similar experience, and the same goals, so that you can get along with each other equally, communicate with each other, and support each other, so that the two can live a lifetime. When marrying a wife, the most important thing is to be able to understand yourself, be considerate of yourself, and be compatible with each other. Finding a wife is a lifelong thing, so find a wife who can live a lifetime. Don't look at these little girls in the city, the family conditions are better, they are smarter, and their skin is whiter, in fact, they are useless, they look like they are in shape, turn off the lights, the women are the same, the conditions are dowry or something, it will only create contradictions, just rely on your salary, house and car tickets, which will not have anything. Why bother to covet that little start-up capital for a few less years of struggle?"

Shao Chengzhi couldn't help but be annoyed: "Fuck, Li Zhao, you're endless." If I marry a wife, born in the city, beautiful in appearance, and in good family conditions, I will take a fancy to her family's money, and I will covet her family's start-up capital? In order to prove my character, I should marry a wife, neither look nor figure, neither value her own conditions, nor ask her family status, whether she graduated from a doctorate or a junior high school, whether she is a senior executive of a multinational company or a working girl who sweeps the floor and wipes the table, anyway, when the lights are turned off, why are women the same? I am obviously qualified and able to find a beautiful and good wife, so why should I pick the ugly one and the poor one? ”

Shao Chengzhi Generally speaking, what he says to others, whether it is misunderstanding or misinterpretation, he never takes it to heart and does not explain it at all, because the cost of communication is too high and it wastes his time. But every time Li Zhao deliberately played the side ball, whether it was persuasion or sarcasm, it was just such a small distortion, but it could always be plausible, and the meaning was completely reversed, no more, no less, just to stimulate him. Shao Chengzhi has a rigid and serious personality, and he is often angry with such a bad friend.

"Shao Chengzhi, why are you greeting my mother, my mother has passed away for more than 20 years, and I provoked you?" Li Zhao smiled.

Shao Chengzhi was silent.

Li Zhao thought for a while: "I didn't say that I didn't talk about the conditions for marrying a wife. Isn't Wang Xia's conditions good enough? Doctors from prestigious universities, working in research institutes, and the two of you have the same academic qualifications, which means that each other has equal IQs, similar abilities, and can communicate. You want to find a beautiful one, Wang Xia is not ugly, you are looking for a wife and not a star, you think you are Edison Chen, you are Nicholas Tse, you are a poor sling, what do you want to do, the girl who came out of our village, Wang Xia is beautiful, and hard-working, virtuous and kind, filial piety to the elderly, take care of relatives, you are a good match. ”

"Thinking about it from a realistic point of view, you will definitely go back to the United States in two or three years, Wang Xia has a doctorate, after arriving in the United States, whether it is looking for a job or doing a doctorate, there is always a job, those girls, when they come to the United States, if they become a full-time wife, they will depend on you to support them for a lifetime, even if you study for a degree in the future and then go out to work, you will have to pay a training fee, where is there to marry Wang Xia to be ready-made. If you decide to stay in Beijing in the future, Wang Xia has a Beijing hukou and a high-grade job, saving you the trouble of getting a hukou for your wife to find a job. With the salaries of the two of you, will life be bad? Why bother to marry a beautiful girl, who has big breasts and no brains, what is her education, does she have a Beijing hukou, does she have a decent job, and it is not up to you to support her: or marry a person with a dowry and no level, as if entering a rich girl's family, live in a wife's house, listen to her wife's words, and be dwarf everywhere, as if eating soft rice. ”

"In short, Wang Xia's quality is better than those city sisters you went on a blind date. Those girls may be prettier than her, maybe richer than her, but if you score one item, appearance, character, education, work, and then add them all up, Wang Xia's total score is higher than those girls. ”

"The most important thing is that we are fellow villagers, and it is not easy to come from the same county and mix in Beijing. They know each other well, and even their living habits are the same. Your parents are here, she cooks and cooks, don't worry about your parents not being used to eating"

"Come on, stop selling for Wang Xia, bother. Shao Chengzhi was annoyed, threw the cigarette he had smoked a few puffs on the ground, and stepped on it.

But suddenly, Shao Chengzhi raised his head and glanced at Li Zhao: "Okay." I know, don't you just hope that the villagers will not flow into the fields of outsiders to the villagers. If you want me to do anything else, I will sacrifice it, and I will do it. But this matter, there is no need to talk about it. ”

Li Zhao was embarrassed for a second or two, but the friendship between the two was extraordinary, and after a second, Li Zhao was justified: "Yes, it is necessary for the villagers to unite, and the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, what's wrong." If I'm like your parents, stuff a chick from one of my relatives' family to you, you can scold me for not being authentic, but Wang Xia, what is not worthy of you Shao Chengzhi, you really want to marry the Seven Fairies, you think that if you marry a noble wife, you can improve your genes, you can be reborn, you can transform into a human and a dog and enter the upper class, come on, what about you Dr. Liumei, why are you wearing a famous brand, don't forget that the old mud behind your head and neck has not been cleaned. We like this, who come out of the poorest rural areas and start from the bottom, can only be down-to-earth, climb up step by step, take the road that suits us, marry a wife that suits us, work hard together, and if one day, we can get ahead, it is the smoke from the ancestral grave. But even if you can't be a blockbuster and soar into the sky, at least you can find your own position, and you won't be worse than those mediocre people who were born in the city and relied on their parents to buy a house and a car, you think you can take a shortcut, you think that marrying a good wife can really save 10 years of struggle, you don't look in the mirror when you are who you are"

"Do I want to marry a wife who will make me ascend to the sky in one step" Shao Chengzhi was angry, "I'm not you, I don't have that ambition." If I marry a wife, I have to marry someone I like. People live like this for a lifetime, they haven't even talked about love, they go through a procedure when they get married, and they don't have any passion at all, so what's the point of living, come to this world for nothing. ”

Li Zhao was even more angry than Shao Chengzhi: "I told you just now that the two are happy, you fucking told me that the conditions are good or bad, and now I tell you that the conditions are good or bad, and you come to talk to me about the two loves, what do you want." ”
