Petty man
April is a comfortable month, not too cold, not too hot. Today's weather is good and sunny, but Gu Anran is not in a good mood. The design drawing handed in yesterday was called back this morning, because there is no reason. The director only said one word with great pity, and changed it! Nothing was said about what and how to change.
Gu Anran put down his pen and drawing, and leaned back against the back of the chair.
The mobile phone on the table rang at this time. She took the phone, looked at the flashing call on the screen, and frowned. She didn't want to answer the call, but seemed to have to answer it.
A few deep breaths, Gu Anran then pressed the connect button of the mobile phone, "Mom."
"At the coffee shop on the first floor of Dacheng Hotel, Table 02, Lin Anjie, male, 31 years old, graduated from college, a civil servant, has a room and a car, and is 173 in height. He has no bad habits, does not smoke or drink. At 7 o'clock in the evening, you go to meet him and have a meal together." Lin Xiaofen finished in one breath, speaking very fast, almost without pause.
"Mom!..." Gu Enron's long ending was that she was really defeated by her mother, one day for a week, almost without interruption. She didn't know where she got so many 'goods'!
"Enron!" Lin Xiaofen sighed. She knew that she was forcing her a little, "You are 28 years old, not 18 years old. Women can have a few years of youth. Now you can pick the right one. If it is next year, someone else will pick you up. Mom is almost 60 years old. I want to help you take care of your children when you are not confused after you get married and have children. If you procrastinate, I won't be able to hold you, and then..."
Gu Anran listened feebly. She was afraid that she could recite all these words from her mother. She had to tell you several times every day. It was really difficult to remember. Interrupt her mother's repeated words, "Mom, is it seven o'clock? I'll be there on time."
"Well, after work, go to the bathroom to make up. This time, your aunt Zhang introduced you. The conditions and personality are good. If appropriate, they will stay together first, ah!" Lin Xiaofen did not forget to tell her.
"Well, I know. Mom, I still have a drawing here. First of all, I will be there on time in the evening. Don't worry." Then he hung up in a hurry. He sighed for a long time, but his breath was not smooth. Holding a hot mobile phone in his hand, it suddenly rang again. Gu Enron was very frustrated. He looked at the call, answered it, and said in a very unkind tone: "Don't tell me that you called me to have a blind date too!"
"Enron, congratulations, I'm getting married!" Lin Li, Enron's best friend and college classmate, announced loudly.
Gu Anran was stunned and immediately responded, saying teasingly, "Your Cheng Xiang is finally willing to marry you!" Cheng Xiang is their college classmate. Lin Li fell in love with someone when she first entered the school. Then she took great efforts to catch up with him. It took them nearly 10 years to figure out the time.
"Well, go to take wedding photos the day after tomorrow. The wedding will be held next month. You remember the fifth day of the next month. Make time free. You must be my bridesmaid that day."
"So urgent!" It's not a month to calculate the time.
"Well... I have it. Cheng Xiang's family is superstitious. Next month will be the April of the lunar calendar. If April doesn't end, I will have to wait until the August of the lunar calendar. How can I wait to live? I should be the biggest belly then."
"You have it!" Ann suddenly turned up the volume.
"Oh, keep your voice down." Lin Lichen said strangely that she was pregnant now and could not help being frightened.
Enron said with some emotion: "How can you be a mother in a twinkling of an eye?"
"Yes, I'm going to be a mother. If you don't hurry up and talk about marriage, you should always find someone to fall in love with." Lin Li said that she did not know how many times she had told her about this problem, but she did not hear a word. She was still so alone. It has been many years since she graduated from college. "You shouldn't be thinking about that heartless guy!"
Enron felt a pain in her heart. She was so stuffy and uncomfortable that she hurriedly said, "I have drawings to draw. First, let's do this." Then he hung up in a hurry.
The man's face was still clear in his mind, and the guilt and apology in his eyes that day always popped out in front of her from time to time over the years, making her want to hate him but unable.
Some upset took sketches and pencils and revised them on the design drawing to calm their upset mind.
At 6:55 p.m., Enron parked her Chery in front of the hotel. She bought the car with the company's bonus last year. In fact, she is a mechanical i***t. Everything mechanized is a big problem for her. So far, she is quite used to hand animating pictures, and rarely uses computers. Due to the concern of her work, she goes to the construction site every day in addition to sitting in the office to draw pictures, so it is convenient for her to have a car. But for this reason, she spent time and energy in the driving test.
Before getting off the car, she took out the makeup mirror from her bag and carefully checked her makeup. Although she was a little disgusted with the endless blind date and then talked and laughed at a man she was completely unfamiliar with, she was disgusted with it. She always went to the meeting with too much care.
After entering the hotel, the waiter will take him to the appointed seat. The other party has arrived. He has a flat head and glasses. His eyes are not big or small, his nose is not tall or straight, and he can't say whether he is handsome or not. When seeing Enron, he stands up and slightly gentlemanly stretches out his hand to shake him. "Miss Gu, I am Lin Anjie."
"Gu Enron." Enron nodded, took back his hand and sat down opposite him.
Lin Anjie handed over the menu, which is exactly a drink list, containing all kinds of coffee and milk tea, as well as wine. Enron asked for a caramel Macchiato. She loves sweet, but she likes the taste of coffee, so caramel Macchiato has become her only best choice.
Lin Anjie ordered a cappuccino, and then returned the menu to the waiter.
Enron opened her mouth. In fact, she hadn't eaten dinner yet. She originally wanted to order a meal, but it seemed that he didn't mean it, so she closed her mouth.
"What industry does Miss Gu work in?" When the coffee came up, Lin Anjie asked first.
"I'm a construction worker, and now I work in a construction company." He said calmly, then took his coffee and drank it.
Lin Anjie nodded and said, "Girls rarely engage in architecture. Aren't they too tired?"
Enron smiled, "I can't help it. The profession of architecture is too professional, and it's hard to change." Then she took another sip of coffee. At noon, she had no time to eat because of the change of the drawing. Since this morning, she is really hungry.
Lin Anjie nodded and looked at Enron and was quite satisfied. However, she seemed to be a little older. With her condition, she should not rely on blind dates at this age
"No, I'm usually too busy with my work, so I haven't had time to attend to it, so I've reached this age in a flash." Answered Enron.
Lin Anjie smiled, nodded and took a sip of coffee, say: "In fact, I don't have high requirements for my wife. As long as I have a stable job and care for my family, I would like to live with my parents after marriage. After all, it's not easy for them to support me for so many years. Now that they are old, it's time for us to take care of them. After marriage, I think it's better to hand over our salary to our mother for custody, which is conducive to overall planning. In fact, we can use the money It's not much. We live and eat at home. When it's really useful, we can take it from my mother. Do you think so? "
Enron did nothing but smiled. Not to mention what happened after marriage, they just met for the first time. Let's talk about it now. Is it so exaggerated?
"Besides, my mother's legs and feet are not very good, so you may be responsible for all the housework after marriage. In fact, it's nothing. I just cook, sweep the floor and wash clothes. It won't be very tiring. I will help if I have time." Lin Anjie continued, and did not find anything unusual about Enron. "Actually, my parents..."
"That." Enron interrupted his endless words, pointed to the empty cup in front of him, and said, "Can I refill it?"
Lin Anjie looked at her, nodded and rang the service bell. The waiter came quickly, appeared beside them with a smile and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Can I renew it?" Lin Anjie pointed to Enron's cup and said.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we can't refill this coffee." The waiter smiled professionally.
Lin Anjie frowned. For a long time, he asked the waiter, "Why don't you pay for it?"
"Er." The waiter was stunned, then responded, tried to keep a smile, and said: "Water is free."
Hearing the words, Lin Anjie said to the man, "Then give us a glass of boiled water."
Enron felt that the waiter's mouth twitched. In fact, she also felt a little messy in the wind. I dare to meet the best man this time!
The two sat for a while, until Enron finished the glass of plain water. Lin Anjie had not finished his requirements for his future wife. Enron made an excuse to go to the sugar toilet, called Lin Lili in the toilet to ask for help, and then returned to her seat. Within a minute, Lin Lili's phone came in. Enron directly made an excuse that it was urgent for the company to rush back. Lin Anjie nodded and called the waiter to pay the bill.
If she knew what would happen next, Enron would never stay and leave after she bought the bill. She thought he was just so stingy, but she didn't expect him to take out the coffee coupon from his wallet and hand it to the waiter. Finally, they spent only 5 yuan for the blind date meal, and then walked out of the hotel under the waiter's disdainful eyes.
What Enron didn't know was that at the position behind her, two men witnessed the whole process of her blind date. A man with peach blossom eyes laughed wildly when they left Enron, covering his belly, and said to the man who looked down at the document in front of him: "Ha ha, Yi Cheng, I have some sympathy for that lady."
The man glanced at his eyes, his mouth half hooked, didn't speak, and continued to look at the document in his hand. In fact, he has seen that woman. Yesterday, in another coffee shop, she seemed to be dating.
