Chapter 10: Disputes
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." ”
"What I want is for you to shut up. Shao Chengzhi was annoyed, "Li Zhao, I see, we have known since we were children that there is no way out of staying in the countryside, and if we want to change our fate, there are only two ways, either to become a soldier or to study, so we have been working hard to study and improve." Although you and I don't like to read. In fact, so far, when I'm busy, tired, and stressed, I have nightmares at night, dreaming that I'm going to take an exam, and I'm so fucking tired of reading. ”
"But no matter how tired you are, you have to read it, and if you don't read it, you have no future. In order to strive for a better future, we must not only study, but also strive to be the best. If you study liberal arts, you only need a degree from a prestigious university and a master's degree is enough, but when I study engineering, you must graduate with a doctorate and go to the top of the ivory tower to make yourself have a higher starting point. Over the years, I have read books, checked information, written codes, checked bugs, written papers, pushed formulas, written more than 20 pages of mathematical equations, pushed at least 1,000 orders of matrices, and ran programs for several days of boring life year after year, completely supported by will"
"Then there's work, you have a career path, no background and no background, I know how hard you have been on this road. I do technology, and all these years I've been facing computers 24 hours a day, at least 14 hours a day. My life is very monotonous, I have never done what I want to do, I haven't even laughed happily for 30 years, when I was a child, I just wanted to eat my stomach, grow up just to get out of the countryside, and now I just want to live, I am rushing forward, and I never have time to stop and look at the scenery. I'm really tired of it, in short, I won't marry Wang Xia, don't think about it, I don't want to marry a wife who is as boring as me, I've had enough of this kind of broken life. ”
"Isn't this how life is like this?" Li Zhao frowned, "Then tell me, what kind of life do you want to live, what kind of wife do you want to marry, and what kind of nerves do you have?"
Shao Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, and didn't know how to open his mouth for a while: "Well, Li Zhao, do you still remember when we were in junior high school? At that time, my Chinese was not very good, this was the only subject I had problems with, no matter how hard I tried, it was you who told me at that time, Chinese cannot rely on textbooks alone, Chinese must rely on reading, rely on accumulation"
Li Zhao was inexplicable: "What's wrong? Actually, your language is not very bad, you just don't like to talk much." ”
Shao Chengzhi ignored Li Zhao's interruption: "At that time, you advised me to read more novels and famous books after class. I didn't read novels originally, and I wasn't even interested in martial arts books, because of your reminder, I read a lot of books."
Shao Chengzhi broke it again, Li Zhao didn't understand how to talk about getting married and starting a family and going to junior high school Chinese class, what did Shao Chengzhi want to say. Li Zhao's big innocent eyes were like tuna.
Shao Chengzhi was embarrassed and hesitated: "I read those novels, "Red and Black", "War and Peace", "Gone with the Wind" , The heroines in those novels, those beautiful, proud, willful, Meng Lang's girls, they are so special, free-spirited, deviant, they are all noble-born, frivolous and fickle, watery Yanghua, but full of enthusiasm for life, will be fanatically in love with a man, regardless of the man's status and class, regardless of his reputation and future, as long as he falls in love, he will be desperate in our village, and the girls in the county, are so simple, hard-working and simple, I was thinking at that time, if one day I go to the big city, will I be able to meet such a girl, the kind of obviously superior but wild and untamable in the bones, Girls who are burning with passion like fire, although they definitely don't look down on me, I'm dirty, poor and stupid, but at least I can feel their aura but no, my life circle is too narrow. In Tsinghua University, the ratio of male to female students is less than 8:2, and some of my classmates go to other schools to look for them, but I have a lot of time to look down at books, and there is almost no chance to look up at girls."
"When I came to the United States, I wondered, will I meet such a girl? But the possibility of a Chinese man dating an American girl is almost none, and I don't know how to be courteous to a girl, and it is even more impossible to be courteous to an old beautiful girl*. Almost all of the female students studying abroad in China are female scholars, and the number is too small, in short, the pressure of studying, the narrowness of the life circle, the lack of social interaction, the economic embarrassment, for various reasons, I have never met the urban fashionable girl I imagined, not a single one" Shao Chengzhi broke off again, he didn't know what he was talking about, but Ling Ran, who he met for the first time this morning, suddenly appeared in his mind, she suddenly ridiculed and arrogant, and suddenly talked calmly and sincerely, her colorful love history, as well as her beautiful appearance, her bewitching figure, and her snow-white skin
Li Zhao stared at Shao Chengzhi seriously for a long time, trying to figure out the depth of the water in his brain, and finally came to the conclusion: This kid's brain can raise whales: "This is the reason why you don't feel for Wang Xia? This is the girl in your dreams? Are you mistaken." That kind of girl, their family background, their social circle, so they have that degree of freedom, they can do whatever they want, and they have to have that capital. Let the girls in the village love whoever they want to love, regardless of the cost, regardless of the consequences, is there any mistake, does she want to marry and live?"
"Do you want to play a love game with such a girl, and put on a scene where a famous lady elopes with a poor boy for love? Hahaha, you're not sick in the brain, are you? Such a girl, is that what a man like you can have? How much do you earn a month? Why do people like you? Why do people look so handsome? Why do people play with you? You don't even have a ticket. If you want to play, you have to climb through that door. ”
"I didn't say that a girl from a family like in the novel, I just said that I wanted to meet a girl with a personality like the one in the novel. Shao Chengzhi suddenly became a little moved, his face was expressionless, and his tone was cold, "Yes, I am a poor boy from the countryside who is penniless, but I think that after so many years of hard work, if I am not too high-climbing, I am still qualified to pursue a white rich beauty in the city." ”
"Hmm. Li Zhao was silent, and began to think about estimating, indeed, with Shao Chengzhi's current conditions, if he just wants to find a beautiful girl from the city, with a higher education and slightly better family conditions, it is really not too easy, "But Bai Fumei in the city, who has been pampered since childhood, can they understand us? Can they understand us? Can they handle the relationship with our parents, brothers and sisters, nephews and nephews? Such a girl, yes, you can marry, but you can't live with you for a lifetime." ”
Shao Chengzhi was silent.
Li Zhao sighed: "Forget it, don't think about it, everyone is not young anymore, and the family is in a hurry, marry a wife and live simply." ”
Shao Chengzhi was impatient: "It's about their"
"I went to see your dad for the Chinese New Year last year, and your dad said that you don't have a girlfriend yet, and he was so anxious that his hair turned white"
"My dad's hair turned white 5 years ago, okay? ”
"Rhetoric doesn't understand. Hey, I'm too lazy to tell you. Anyway, your parents said that during the Spring Festival this year, if you don't have a wife, I'll give you one in your hometown. You have to marry. ”
"Breeding. Don't even think about it. ”
"I've thought so. Li Zhao smiled viciously.
"Do you think it's possible? Who am I? Shao Chengzhi was cold.
Li Zhao thought about it: This is also true, this kid is really not filial to the point that even his wife is willing to marry his parents.
"If you don't think about your parents, you have to think about yourself. Your green card is coming down, and you have to get married quickly. If you have to find a Bai Fumei who you don't know now, then you can only go on a blind date in the past two or three months, pick a beautiful one with superior conditions, and quickly determine the relationship. Then, not to mention knowing each other, they can't even talk about being familiar with each other, but she looks at your salary and green card, you see her beauty and dowry, the sale is concluded, one is willing to marry and the other is willing to marry, and get married immediately. You just fulfill your dream of Dong Yongyu and the Seven Fairies? ”
"Li Zhao, you don't bother to tell you. Shao Chengzhi was so angry that he couldn't find the words for a while, so he flicked his arm and wanted to go upstairs.
"Wait, Chengzhi. Li Zhao hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed Shao Chengzhi with a cigarette. "I mean it to you. Life is short, don't take any chances. Marrying Wang Xia, or one of our old classmates, female fellow or something, in short, marrying a reliable one, there will be no chaos, it is better to live a lifetime. Maybe this kind of marriage is a little dull, but a plain life is a truly happy life. ”
Shao Chengzhi lit the cigarette and smoked sullenly.
Li Zhao persuaded: "You haven't been in love in the past, you want to enjoy the taste of love, I understand this, but it takes time to fall in love, and you don't have this time anymore."
Shao Chengzhi sorted out his thoughts while smoking: "Li Zhao, there is one thing that must be clarified with you. Just because my green card is coming down doesn't mean I have to get married now. These two things are incompatible, and if you must get in touch, then a girl can get a green card because she married me, which is an advantage for me in the marriage market. Theoretically, I could have relied on this to win over the girl I had a bit of a hard time catching up with - in the United States, many male students do this, and many succeed. ”
"If I force myself to marry a woman I don't intend to marry because of my green card, then I'm taking advantage of the favorable conditions as (deadlines), is it necessary for me to do this? If I casually marry a wife who doesn't get along with me in order not to waste such a green card place, and divorce in the future, according to American law, if my wife has no job and no income, and I still have to pay divorce alimony, will I put such a noose around my neck? I went to sign the land reparation treaty when I had clearly won the war, and it was my own life that was damaged. I'd rather not take advantage of this green card ride than take a rash ride with a wife. I'm telling you, as long as I have a green card, it's always an attraction for girls who want to immigrate to the United States. Because they know very well that as long as they marry me, sooner or later they will have a green card, even if their identity is black, as long as I get American citizenship, I can be a wife who can be whitewashed. Shao Chengzhi said coldly, "Marriage is either for love or conditions, if I am not dizzy, finding a wife is just a rational choice, then I will wait for the price to sell." Looking for a job, you still want to sell yourself for a good price, let alone get married. ”
Shao Chengzhi threw the cigarette he had only smoked a few puffs at his feet, "Okay, let's talk nonsense, is the rice cooked?"
