Knowing each other with you [Sword Three]

Xiang Zhi felt that she was always out of tune with her surroundings.Perhaps many people have this feeling, the so-called loneliness in the crowd.

Xiang Zhi is a typical example of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, from a small village to a famous school to a job flying all over the world.

But no matter in the quiet hometown or the bustling city, the harder you work, the more lonely you will be.Relatives and friends at home have introduced partners for several years in a row. Among other things, it is impossible to get along happily just based on salary.Even if there is a man who is willing to accept his significant other, who earns more in half a day than himself in half a year, this is equivalent to a man who eats soft food, Xiang Zhi can't accept it.

But what about big cities?Millions of dollars a year are everywhere, but they are either the rich second generation who play tickets, or the godfather who is looking for flowers and willows. Xiang Zhi is 28 years old and has never met anyone who can live a down-to-earth life.Speaking of appearance alone, many people say that Xiang Zhi is fair-skinned, beautiful and has a good temperament. In fact, an objective evaluation shows that she has a regular schedule, does not stay up late, or has dull skin and out-of-shape body due to irregular diet, and she knows some makeup skills and clothing There is no shortage of money at hand, and there has been no shortage of suitors since high school.

It's just that it's not suitable after all, family background, personality, income, etc., as she grows older, for Xiang Zhi, she has time to play ambiguously, and she would rather use this time to earn money to buy herself a new LV bag.

Being single for a long time has gradually become a habit.What's more, life is nothing more than basic necessities of life, Xiang Zhi can fully support herself, and the family has no burdens, so why find an inappropriate person to add to her troubles?

Xiang Zhida suffered a serious illness four years ago, and when she came back from a walk in front of the God of Death, she deeply felt how fragile people are and how precious life is.Life is short for [-] days. If you want to make progress, you must find the right conditions, work hard and treat yourself well. The requirements are not high, and it may just be that the fate has not arrived.She was already living a serious life, and she became a little more willful and casual, and her parents at home let her go. After all, she is the only child. As long as she can live healthy and happy, it is better than anything else.

However, since she was sick and her body needs to be recuperated, her parents were not at ease when she was alone, so they asked her to quit her regular job in a big city, and found a company to take a part-time job at home, and followed the small team of the professor. Xiang Zhi, who has been a bit famous as a simultaneous interpreter for several years, goes out to pick up a job every once in a while depending on the situation, and her childhood is quite nourishing.But about Xiang Zhisheng's illness, except for his parents, he kept it a secret, and if he survived, he would die. If he knew it, it would be useless to worry about it.

It's just that the older generation in the family is still very worried about Xiang Zhi's lifelong events. The traditional concept is that men should marry when they are in college, and women should be married when they are colleges. I don't understand the current situation and choices, but I should cherish that kindness.

The person to meet this time is also the same standard, parents, no burden at home, height above 178cm, car, house and regular job.It is said that the family conditions are not bad, the introducer is full of hype, and the other party's father seems to be some kind of bureau chief.Because of the good conditions, the man is picky, five years older than Xiang Zhi, and 33 this year.

After driving the navigation, I finally found the Xiadao coffee designated by the man.Stepping on the button to enter, the tables on the first floor are obviously a group of girlfriends, and the WeChat of the other party just came over: I am here, on the second floor, you can come up directly.

The waiter who greeted him smiled and nodded, Xiang Zhi walked up to the steps and slowly went up to the second floor.

There is a boy sitting in the first small partition at the entrance of the stairs. His height cannot be discerned, but the light from the window shows that his hairline is worrying.It seems that being too picky is also a troublesome thing.

After walking a few steps forward, the boy just turned his head. How should I put it, maybe the standard of appearance control is different from ordinary people, but it is definitely not what the introducer called so handsome.But they are all ordinary people, and they have long known that they cannot be trusted.The boy nodded in a standard Beijing posture, and Xiang Zhi confirmed each other's names with him and then sat across from him.

"Ah, what do you want to drink?" the boy asked, picking his eyes.

"White water is fine."

"Let's have a cup of coffee. I don't think there are any places suitable for meeting around here. The environment of this store is not bad. You can read the menu."

The boy calls the waiter.

"Okay, let's have a latte, hot. Thank you." Xiang Zhi didn't even look through the menu, and ordered a cup of what he usually drinks.

"Let me have... um..." The other party flipped through the menu, "Just this... um, grapefruit tea... I drank it last time and thought it tasted good..." He looked up at the waiter, "Serve a pot of grapefruit tea .”

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter put away the menu and turned to go downstairs.

"Your home is in Huaxin City, right? This place should be quite close to your home." The boy continued to sit in a paralyzed posture in Beijing, with his right hand resting on his temple. "There are no other shops around here, and the environment here is not bad."

Xiang Zhixin sighed secretly.The other party politely said that they wanted to find a place to meet near the woman's house, so Xiang Zhi mentioned two shops, but the other party said they were not familiar with each other and asked where they were.

Then Xiang Zhi sent the shop name and address again, but the boy was still struggling with the address, and finally he appointed the coffee shop where Xiang Zhi drove for nearly an hour.

Originally, when he kept struggling with the address, Xiang Zhi didn't want to meet anymore, and he didn't contact him for a week. It was just persuasion from both sides of the introducer, saying that fate is precious, and Xiang Zhi is willing to come because the introducer is a friend of his father. The old aunt worked very hard and she worried about it, anyway, I will see you again.As a result, after the meeting, Xiang Zhi's blood pressure went up again. He typed on WeChat twice and told him that his home was in Yuexin City, and also sent a screenshot of the navigation and location. How could it be said to be Huaxin City?Is this a Spring Festival Gala sketch?

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Zhi put on a half-hearted smile, "My home is in Yuexin City, and the drive here is a bit congested, and it took almost an hour to arrive."

"Oh, then I misremembered..."

Holding grapefruit tea and coffee, the waiter rushed to Zhi and the boy with a smile, then turned and left, dispelling the embarrassment just now.

"Oh, so you come back to work from out of town now? It's made in... Evergreen, right? Your parents are also in the same factory?"

"Hmm." It seems that it's time to ask questions. Although the introducer and the previous WeChat chat have learned a little bit, this can be regarded as a familiar process.

"I heard that you are an English major? A university in T City? What school is it?"

"T is big." Xiang Zhi replied while nodding.

"Oh, that's amazing."

"Haha, it's okay."

"People who can speak English are really good. I can't speak English. I admire people who are good at English."

"Everyone has their own strengths."

The boy coughed a few times.

"Cold?" Xiang Zhi asked.

"No, I started coughing in the smog a few days ago." As he spoke, he started coughing again and again.

Xiang Zhi remembered that there was indeed a bit of smog a few days ago, but it was nothing compared to the capital city T, and it lasted for a day or two before being blown away by the strong wind in D city.

"I don't even feel the smog here. If you go to city B, city T, how will you live? I live in city T where the smog is severe, 50 meters away, there is no distinction between humans and animals, and in the evening, the neighbor's uncles and aunts still go out and sing songs Walking the dog without even wearing a mask."

"Hey, I went to Beijing last month and came back with a high fever."

Xiang Zhixin said: Ah, so delicate?I also went to pick up work last month and came back alive and kicking.These days, if he can't even take care of himself well, can he be expected to shoulder the responsibility of a family?Waiting to marry a daughter-in-law who can take care of her?Then there is no play.

"Pay attention to your body. Fortunately, there is no smog here at home. But if you go out to develop your body in the future, I guess..."

"Well, it's actually quite good here. Big cities have the pressure of big cities, and I don't think there is anything wrong with us here."

"Well, are you busy with work?" The introducer said that the ZF department that the family entrusted to find a job.

"Not busy. Nine to five, normal weekends."

"Oh, what about after work? Do you have any hobbies or part-time jobs?"

"I don't have a part-time job. I usually hang out with friends when I have free time, board games, indoor escape, etc. I also like to ride."

There is no part-time job in a state-owned enterprise, and coupled with the family conditions described by the introducer before, Xiang Zhi knows it well.Alas, it's not attractive at all.However, meeting at any rate is considered a bit of fate, let's say a few more words to understand.

"The friends around me do some side jobs besides work. Several of them have opened shops, such as antique shops and barbecue shops. It's very hard work, and it's rare to get together once a year."

"Then why bother, as long as the money is enough to spend." The boy frowned and coughed twice.

"Really? I think it's good to be positive. Work hard while you're young."

"How much money you want is more, right?"

"Then it seems that you think you have enough money to spend? How much is your monthly salary~" Blind date is a straightforward matter that can be accepted by both parties, so Xiang Zhi was suddenly curious.Is it possible that I am wrong about taking idle jobs in state-owned enterprises?That's right, idle jobs in some industries also earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.

"I get about four thousand a month on average."

"Oh." Four thousand can't be said to be less in a small city, but considering Xiang Zhi's current living standard, if he wants to buy a Yali mobile phone, he has to save for two months without eating or drinking. How can this be enough?Although Xiang Zhi did not follow suit and snap up Yali mobile phones, not buying and not being able to afford them are two different concepts.

"Hey, what about you?" The boy raised his chin slightly.

"In terms of salary, I'm about [-] a month." The extra money is calculated on an hourly basis, but they didn't ask ^^.

"Oh." There was a smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, he got the answer he wanted and then changed the subject, "We don't have much fun here, what do you usually do?"

"Reading books, watching movies, watching anime, and playing games." The main thing is to make money and buy things, but it's better not to talk about it.

After all, according to Xiang Zhi's impression, this boy is delicate, sensitive and fragile.The exchange of WeChat through the introducer just caught up with the Golden Week, because the other party was entangled with the address, Xiang Zhi was impatient to meet.Later, the introducer kept persuading Xiang Zhicai from both sides to agree to meet, and it was already a week after Golden Week that the news of the boy's appointment was late.Why do you say slender?Because the introducer's original words: The boy is very interesting to you, but I feel that you may not like him very much, and you didn't even have a good time on May Day.

— Blame me?Let me talk about a place close to home. I have said so many times that I can’t remember the address, and I can’t even check the map. I finally specified a place you know.Because I didn't have a good Golden Week?Digging a cauldron from the sky and dropping it suddenly, labor and capital will not bear it!

"Oh, I think you may be a very fulfilling person." The boy frowned slightly and said after thinking for a while.

"Emmm..." I don't know how to answer this question.

"I heard you passed the eighth grade in English?"

"Hmm." That's a good answer.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"Fortunately, even if English is considered a strong point, after all, it is the ability to eat, so you should work hard to pass all the exams."

"Well, I think you may be a very assertive person, how should I put it? Hmm... quite thoughtful, very good." The boy said while holding his temples, thinking.

"emmm..." Ma Ma I want to go home QAQ.

"Oh, I heard that you are working in Changqing Manufacturing now? Are you busy?"

"It's okay, just do the work if you have work, and read books and browse the web if you have nothing to do."

"Oh, then your parents are also in the same factory?" the boy asked curiously.

???

How does Xiang Zhi feel that this has already been said, is it an illusion, "Well, it's all here."

"Can you cook?"

"A simple home-cooked meal. I have time to search for a recipe to challenge on weekends. How about you?"

"I do not know how to cook."

"Oh, then you usually wash the dishes and clothes?"

"Uh..." The boy coughed twice, "I think you are a very virtuous woman."

"emmm..." There are many people who say I am virtuous, but you are probably not qualified, and I am tired of hearing it.People who are qualified to say that I am virtuous never say such meaningless compliments, and they are more afraid that I will be troubled.And these blind dates will say that girls are virtuous and at the same time start to think that such girls can wash and cook for themselves in the future and take care of themselves.Why?Ah.

I understand almost everything, and the boy has nothing to say. Xiang Zhi glanced at the phone, and it was already meal time, "Should we come here first today?"

"Oh, ok, I'll go checkout."

I didn't stay with Xiang Zhi for dinner, eh.

After the boy settled the bill for the tea, the two went out together, Xiang Zhi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, is your home far from here?"

"It's not far, it's just upstairs from this shop." The boy smiled cheerfully and pointed upwards.

No F*CK to speak of.
