Why do you have to step into the quagmire of marriage and torture yourself?
Yang Yueyue never thought that one day she would be reduced to a blind date, let alone that she had just graduated for a year, and her biggest problem was not from the workplace and society, but from her mother and her circle of friends.
On an ordinary Tuesday, Yang Yueyue was overwhelmed by work. Party A will have an idea, and the speed at which she changes the information is far from keeping up with the speed of Party A's brain. The work that could have been done in half a day was dragged out until the evening and was not completed. She originally wanted to grit her teeth, wait until Party A's idea is confirmed, and work overtime by herself, and she should be able to finish it before the early morning.
Unexpectedly, there are unforeseen circumstances. Since eight o'clock in the evening, her kind mother has been calling her and asking her to go back. When I ask about something, I don't say anything. She said that she was busy with work, but she was scolded by her mother, who had exhausted her patience.
Yang Yueyue was helpless, and lasted until nine o'clock, but Party A still didn't decide on the plan, but kept urging her to make the picture, and they saw the effect.
Listening to these words, she wanted to curse. Party A's strange request has been said all day. Yang Yueyue also chased Party A's train of thought, and after a busy day, she ate a few bites of snacks for dinner, and when she looked at it at night, she didn't do anything, and she was still standing still. Yang Yueyue was angry, so she simply closed the computer and went home.
The phone kept ringing all the way. When he arrived at the door, Tao Qing took a look and secretly congratulated himself that he didn't stay in the company to work overtime. After a while, Party A's mind changed again. Fortunately, she didn't work overtime, otherwise it would be useless.
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry to call me back?" Yang Yueyue said tiredly.
When Li Li saw her daughter coming back, she hurriedly greeted her with her mobile phone and said happily: "This is a few blind dates I found for you, you can see if there is a match." ”
Yang Yueyue didn't look at the photos and felt even more tired. She resisted and said, "Mom, is this why you are in such a hurry to let me come back today?" ”
She is only twenty-three years old, her youth is just right, and she is in her prime, why do she have to step into the quagmire of marriage to torture herself? How much is this hard to think about?
Li Li said happily: "That's right." That's it. It's a life event! ”
Yang Yueyue said helplessly: "Mom, I don't want to get married yet." ”
"Didn't let you get married. Deal with it first. Wait two years before getting married. You're almost thirty now, and you're not too young. It would be too late to wait two years to think about it. Li Li said alarmistly.
Yang Yueyue, who was originally sitting on the sofa, heard this, and was so angry that she sat up straight all of a sudden, and came to her senses. Anger gave her a little strength and dominated her tired body.
"Mom, I'm only twenty-three years old. How do you tell me I'm thirty? Yang Yueyue argued. Good guy, he grew seven years old all of a sudden, and no one can get over it.
Li Li said seductively: "How are you twenty-three years old? You are twenty-four years old, and then you are a year old, and you are twenty-five. Rounding it up, it's not thirty years old! ”
Yang Yueyue was stunned. What kind of magic algorithm is this? It's different from her! Mom is deliberately angry with her today!
She spun her brain around and counted her age.
"No, I'm not twenty-four now. I'm half a year away from turning 24! I'm twenty-three years old. Don't give me a random calculation of age, I don't think I'm young anymore, and I feel like I'm about to retire! Yang Yueyue argued with the results of her own calculations.
Li Li said bitterly: "Twenty-three years old is also young!" I gave birth to you at the age of twenty-one. When I was your age, you were two years old. It's better to get married early, and you can still pick and choose. When you are thirty years old, you don't have to choose. You are young now, and having children also has an advantage, and you recover quickly when you are young. When you're old, it's hard to have children. It's not easy to find a job. People will worry that you will get married, have children, and delay work. Now that you're just getting started, it's okay to delay a little......"
Yang Yueyue's head was big when she heard it, and the more she listened, the more anxious she became. Sure enough, it's my own mother. Mom's words are much more powerful than her watching the news.
She rubbed her temples tiredly and asked weakly, "Mom, what are you stimulating?" Or where did you hear something? ”
Li Li suddenly felt a little sad, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Yueyue, my mother is really good for you." I was chatting with a colleague today. Her daughter is ten years older than you, and now she can't find a suitable one on blind dates all over the world. I've been looking for it for three years. She now regrets her death, and she didn't worry about her daughter in the early years. She persuaded me to hurry up and give you Zhang Luo. Don't be too late. ”
Yang Yueyue pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but her mind was blank.
She thought for a while, and finally said, "Then her daughter has been working all the time and hasn't had a boyfriend?" ”
"Handed it in. We talked about it when I was in college, and after six or seven years, we were going to get married, and the man ran away. The girl was sad for many days, and then she didn't have a boyfriend for a few years. I slowly found that I was not too young. I want to get married, but I can't find ......," Li Li gushed.
Yang Yueyue took a bite of watermelon and asked in surprise, "Ran away?" Why are you running? "She has a keen sense of smell and thinks there are earth-shattering melons here.
"Ran away with someone else. Split legs. I found a younger girl. Li Li said mysteriously, and deliberately lowered her voice. It may be that I usually gossip with others, even if there is no one else around, I am careful when it comes to the key points.
Yang Yueyue was shocked, and began to sympathize with this sister she had never met. That's too miserable, isn't it? Fortunately, she has always followed her mother's teachings, studied wholeheartedly when she was in school, and never had the idea of falling in love.
"This man is too scummy! I'd better not go on a blind date. In case you come across one like this. Then I'm not as miserable as this sister. Mom, you don't want to see me like this, do you? Yang Yueyue was frightened. Saying this also dispels the idea of my mother letting her go on a blind date.
"These are a minority, after all. There are also many cases of happy marriages around me. Your dad and I are. You think more about the good ones. Li Li comforted, trying to make up for it.
Yang Yueyue said pessimistically: "The divorce rate is so high now. If you get married, you will get divorced. What am I doing here? ”
Seeing that her daughter didn't eat oil and salt, Li Li got angry.
"You're worrying about it." Li Li said with a straight face, reflecting silently in her heart, is she unable to speak, or how to drop? When her colleague told her these words, she was very anxious. Why did she tell her daughter like this, but it had the opposite effect? It's all the same!
Yang Yueyue saw that her mother was angry, so she adopted a roundabout tactic.
"Mom, I'm busy with work, I don't have time! The boss arranged a lot of work, urging me to work overtime every day, and there was no overtime pay. Yang Yueyue raised difficulties, mainly because she wanted to stump her mother.
"It's fine. I'll go tell your boss to go. For such a big thing, taking a leave of absence is not allowed, right? If this is not allowed, then your boss is too unreasonable. I just went to talk to him. Li Li said heroically, looking like she was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Yang Yueyue hurriedly stopped: "Mom, this is not necessary. I'll take the time to go. This is a small difficulty, I can overcome. ”
If Li Li goes to the boss to approve her leave, the whole company knows that she is going on a blind date, and she may be fired by the boss the next day with an excuse. When I was interviewing, the boss asked Yang Yueyue openly and secretly about falling in love and getting married. learned that Yang Yueyue didn't have a boyfriend and didn't want to fall in love, so she smiled with satisfaction. Without a job, she will definitely be arranged by her mother to go on a full-time blind date. It's unthinkable.
"Do you have any favorites for these boys?" Li Li handed the phone to Yang Yueyue.
Yang Yueyue browsed it and reluctantly chose one that looked pleasing to the eye. "Let's do it." I haven't seen each other, I don't even know each other, what do I like or dislike.
"This boy is three years older than you. He is the only one in the family, with a house and a car, young and promising. Your uncle introduced you to it. It is said that I have never been in a relationship like you. Li Li said excitedly.
Yang Yueyue listened with disinterest, and a kind of disgust arose in her heart. What does having a car and a house have to do with her. She works hard, and in ten years, or decades, she will have a car and a house. If you have it, you really have it. Relying on others is unreliable after all. How many girls have given up their independence and depended on boys because of the sweet words of boys, and finally became disliked and abandoned people. Some promises, which are just emotional expressions, cannot stand the test of time and the beating of reality. Promises can easily turn into lies. She wasn't so unconscious.
"Oh......" Yang Yueyue lazily replied with a syllable. lest her mother accuse her of not listening carefully to herself.
"It's still down-to-earth. If you are looking for a partner, you must find someone who is suitable for your life, who is good for your family, and who is good for you...... Don't just look at looks. It's useless to look good. Li Li imparts her experience. And her decades of life experience are no longer applicable at the moment.
Yang Yueyue said against her will: "Well, I know." I'll go and rest first. I've been working overtime lately. ”
She got up to leave, but was stopped by her mother.
"Don't panic. There are three more. One was introduced by your aunt, and the other was introduced by my colleague. Let me tell you about the three of them. Li Li was very interested, and she couldn't wait to interview herself and choose a candidate for her future son-in-law.
"Huh? Do you want me to kiss four times? "What is this operation? Yang Yueyue was shocked. The blind date is still in a hurry! Is the pace so fast now? I was fortunate enough to see a similar situation in a TV series, and I went on a blind date several times a day, just like looking for a job interview. It's just that she needs to be in such a hurry now?
Li Li said disapprerovingly: "I finally asked others to help you find these these." If you are the first to go on a blind date, then I will refuse all the others. If the first one fails, then move on. It's not that easy to find a partner. I met several times back then. If none of these matches, then I'll help you find them. It just so happened that I told them that you are busy with work, and the blind date may be a little late. They all said they were in no hurry. ”
Yang Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her mother hadn't watched the TV series she watched, so she didn't have that kind of thought.
"Mom, I'm really sleepy. We'll talk about that then. Yang Yueyue took advantage of Li Li's inattention, quickly got up and slipped back to the room.
Li Li said helplessly: "Okay, then you can rest early." ”
Yang Yueyue lay on the bed tiredly, and the things in life and work attacked her together. She had a headache when she thought about it now.
After graduating from college, the tribulations of life slammed open the floodgates, broke free from the shackles, and came straight at her. Now, she misses school days immensely. How could there be such a worry at that time! No one will bother her except for herself.
Before she had a job, Li Li always told Yang Yueyue to study hard and not fall in love. She has never been in a relationship. Of course, it's not entirely because of Li Li's request, and she doesn't want to fall in love herself. It's only been a year, and Li Li's thoughts have completely changed. It's like she's a different mother.
But how easy is it to get married! I don't go to the street to buy groceries.
Yang Yueyue closed her heavy eyes tiredly and soon fell asleep.
At this time, the mobile phone suddenly made a noise and kept ringing.
Yang Yueyue, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up. You don't need to look at it to know that it is the fickle Party A who is urging her.
Yang Yueyue opened her eyes with great difficulty, looked at the information, and was almost so angry that she vomited blood. Party A wants the first version. There were too many WeChat messages, he didn't want to look for them, so he asked Yang Yueyue to send them to him.
Although she was so angry that she wanted to curse, she still sent the first version to Party A. Luckily, she has a habit of preserving historical versions.
The next day, Yang Yueyue was at work when her phone rang.
Her thoughts were interrupted, and Yang Yueyue was angry and irritable. Although I wanted to hang up the phone, my rational command finger slid to connect.
Thinking it was a customer, Yang Yueyue restrained the anger in her heart and said politely: "Hey, hello." ”
"I'm Lin Hu. I added WeChat, why don't you let me pass. I've been waiting for a long time. The other party opened his mouth in a questioning tone.
Yang Yueyue thought it was a customer, and subconsciously said, "Okay...... Good...... Excuse me. I'm a bit busy at work today and haven't looked at my phone. I'm sorry. I'll give you your consent. ”
"Okay, hurry up." Yang Hu urged, and then immediately hung up the phone.
Yang Yueyue opened WeChat and saw a new friend application, and the remarks read: I am Lin Hu, and your uncle asked me to add you to WeChat. Only then did she realize that the person just now was not a customer, but the blind date that her mother told her yesterday.
