I asked Zheng Jian where to meet him in the evening.

He asked, where do you live, I will come to find you.

I answered, Baishizhou.

He said, that's very convenient. It's nearby. I'll go find you for supper tonight and I'll contact you then.

I put down the phone and said to Lin Xiaojuan, "Don't you think I'm happy?" My high school classmates will come over in the evening and I'll have two drinks there, which will make me even happier.

Lin Xiaojuan said, heartless, let me tell you, this restaurant tastes pretty good.

I said, oh? Who did you eat with?

Lin Xiaojuan smiled, "Who can I talk to? Colleagues."

I wanted to ask her whether her colleague was a male or a female colleague, but then I thought about it. With her personality, she is not the kind of person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. With my personality, I am not the kind of person who is suspicious of gains and losses.

As a human being, worrying about gains and losses will only make you lose faster.

At this time, the QQ cough sound on my mobile phone rang again, and the finance girl sent another message, Hi, Teacher Gou, are you there?

I replied, "Here I am, having dinner with my girlfriend."

I really wanted to add that I would like to treat you to a meal when I have time, but I was afraid that she would really think that I wanted to treat her to a meal, and would regard the traditional Chinese false politeness as a real invitation, so I abruptly cut off the idea.

It's called strangling the wrong gentleness.

Speaking of fake politeness and genuine invitations, I remembered that when I was young, I had a distant cousin who specialized in exorcisms and catching ghosts. My mother said that this is what his ancestors did. I have seen that cousin many times and one of his eyes was gray.

Yes, I always feel eerie when looking at people.

Once when he was helping people in our village to exorcise evil spirits, he passed by the door of my house. My dad was so angry that he said, "Don't go back and stay for a few days." Then he threw the bag containing the Taoist wooden swords towards my dad, and there

My family is settled.

I stayed here for several days without leaving, and my father entertained me enthusiastically every day with wine and food. However, my mother disliked her distant cousin very much. Once, she took me to the east of the village without cooking when my father was not at home.

We were playing at Aunt Wang’s house and said we were having dinner at Aunt Wang’s house today. During dinner time, my cousin came over for some reason and sat at the door of Aunt Wang’s house without talking to us. When it was almost time to eat, Aunt Wang said,

Let's have dinner together. My cousin kept saying yes, yes, yes, but he started eating without any courtesy when he came in. As a result, he was full by himself, and we were all hungry.

After eating, he patted his belly and said, "From now on, if there is any dirt in your house, I will help you catch it for free," and he left.

So, it's okay, don't talk to others about eating.

Others can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense.

I put my phone on the table and then chatted with Lin Xiaojuan. She asked me about the content of my work. I said lightly that walking on the stage was like transforming into a Saiyaman, without telling her the specific details.

When the food arrived, I knew why Lin Xiaojuan thought it tasted good. It was because the food in this Hunan restaurant was not spicy enough and was more or less to her liking.

After lunch, the two of us stayed outside until work time, and I took her upstairs to the company entrance.

Lin Xiaojuan said, don’t you want to visit our company today?

I said, we have known each other for more than five years, and it’s not like you don’t know that I am introverted and shy.

She said, "I'm poor again. I've been working here for more than a month, and you don't care about my working environment."

I thought about it and replied, as your parent and guardian in Shenzhen, you should really care about your working environment. Come on, take me to inspect it.

Lin Xiaojuan took me to the front desk to register, and then took me in to visit a few places where I could go shopping. I had picked her up and dropped her off several times before, but I didn't think it was necessary to go in. This time I came in, my psychology was very subtle, maybe I

Too sensitive, I might be the rooster showing off his feathers.

After leaving Lin Xiaojuan's company building, I took the subway and took the bus back to the company.

There was nothing much to do in the afternoon. After work, I took the bus, transferred to the subway, and went back to Baishizhou.

Lin Xiaojuan is closer than me and got home before me.

Today, I received 3,000 yuan during the day. I spent more than 100 yuan on lunch and had more than 2,800 yuan left. When I got home, I handed over 2,000 yuan to my mother. My mother happily took the money and I took the rest.

I plan to give Xiaojuan another 800 yuan in the evening to make pocket money for her. I don’t smoke or buy other things. I only bring a few dozen yuan with me every day when I go out for food and transportation.

After finishing dinner hastily, I argued with my mother for a while, then took Lin Xiaojuan's hand and went out for a walk.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Zheng Jian arrived at Baishizhou.

When I took Lin Xiaojuan's hand to see Zheng Jian, Zheng Jian was surprised.

Zheng Jian was carrying a backpack. He was about the same height as me. He was neither fat nor thin, with a typical Hunan figure. When he came closer, he hit me with his fist and said, "Brother Dog, where did you get this sister from?"

?”

Me: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, but you are still the same. This is my girlfriend Lin Xiaojuan. We have been talking to her since our sophomore year. This is my high school classmate Zheng Jian."

Zheng Jian: "Hello, sister-in-law, hello, sister-in-law."

Lin Xiaojuan: "Hello."

Me: "Let's go and find a place to have something to eat. Can we have a barbecue?"

Zheng Jian: "I can do it."

Although Baishizhou is right next to the tourist attraction Window of the World, it has a large population and the sanitary conditions of the streets are not very good. Mosquitoes at night are like stealth fighter jets and can bite you at any time. We found a barbecue stall that looked relatively clean.

Sit down and order something.

Zheng Jian was nicknamed Brother Bitch in high school, mainly because he always spoke in a mean manner. Zheng Jian sat down and asked the boss to serve beer first. The boss asked what I wanted to drink, and he asked me with his eyes. I said drink whatever you want, and Zheng Jian was right.

He asked the boss to call Jinwei to make beer, and then asked Lin Xiaojuan in a mean-spirited manner: "Sister-in-law, where are you from?"

Lin Xiaojuan: "I'm from Qingdao."

"That guy, Qingdao Xiaoman'er, boss, boss, change Qingdao, change Qingdao, iced ones, come first - I'm just saying he's tall, sister-in-law, do you know any doctor friends?"

Lin Xiaojuan: "What's wrong?"

The boss brought a dozen beers, opened one, and asked, "How many cups do you want?"

Lin Xiaojuan replied: "Three cups."

Zheng Jian took the three disposable cups handed over by the boss and poured the wine: "Sister-in-law, go check your eyes. Why are you falling in love with Brother Dog if your eyes are fine?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaojuan was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed.

I didn't wait for Lin Xiaojuan to speak, and said, "Brother, don't tell me, Zhang Wei from our class has become a doctor, you know, right?"

Zheng Jian: "I haven't contacted you since I was in college. Which hospital is she in?"

I said, "It doesn't matter which hospital. She is a surgeon. I don't know if she can perform the operation of sewing her mouth."

Lin Xiaojuan smiled even more happily.

Zheng Jian picked up the beer and said: "I have never won a fight with you in so many years. Come on, I haven't seen you for a few years. Brother Dog, do it. Sister-in-law, I respect you, you can do whatever you want!"

Lin Xiaojuan's drinking capacity was acceptable, so she raised her glass and drank it in one go.

Zheng Jian said: "You are a hero among women, you have a good drinking capacity."

After I finished, I put down the cup and said, "She only drinks when she is with me. She doesn't drink on weekdays. And you, don't always think about bickering and fighting. We are both poor and from the same class. Why should we be hostile?"

.”

The barbecue was served very quickly, and we ate and drank while bragging. Lin Xiaojuan had been studying in Wuhan for four years, and her eating habits had evolved from being relatively simple at the beginning to now eating all kinds of delicacies from both the north and the south.

Zheng Jian said: "I don't understand my sister-in-law, why is it bad in Qingdao to come to Shenzhen to suffer this crime?"

Lin Xiaojuan: "Shenzhen is young and very good."

Me: "Stop spreading negative energy. Where do you live now?"

Zheng Jian: "Forget it, I have no fixed place to live and I just lost my job. Does Brother Gou have any recommendations for a good job?"

I said, "First of all, why do you have no fixed place to live? You don't have a rented house?"

Zheng Jian: "I came to Shenzhen in 2003. I was fired within three months of each job. I rented a house at first, then shared it with others, and then lived in a company dormitory. I don't know what happened to me."

Me: "You studied computer science in college, so you should be able to find a job easily."

Zheng Jian: "What are you looking for? A college degree. As soon as I submitted my resume, I was told to be a network administrator. If I had studied for so many years just to be a network administrator, I might as well not have studied. So I have been working in sales after graduation.

If you don’t sell everything, you can sell everything.”

Me: "You should be able to do sales, but why do you keep getting fired?"

Zheng Jian: "How do I know? I have to ask God. Anyway, there will be no results. Brother Gou, come and introduce me to a job."

I raised my glass and drank: "If a lecturer in our company does well in a month, he can earn tens of thousands of dollars. Do you want to come? If you want to come, I will ask the leader."

Zheng Jian: "Lecturer? What lecturer?"

Me: "You are a teacher. I stand on the podium and give lectures on business management, marketing, and the rules of success. I think you can do it."

Zheng Jian waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm nervous about going on stage. I can't handle it."

I said: "Then what are you going to do?"

Zheng Jian: "If it doesn't work out, I'll work in insurance. A friend of mine keeps asking me to sell insurance, and they'll take care of me."

At that time, I had a lot of misunderstandings about three professions. One was selling insurance, one was selling Amway, and the other was selling houses. I said: "It's not good to sell insurance? Why don't you think about it first? Lecturers are not bad either."
