Chapter 607 Shen Fang, who was forced to have a blind date
Whatever is in surplus must be destroyed, this is the way of heaven. - "Zuo Zhuan: The Eleventh Year of Duke Ai".
Winter has passed, spring has come, and summer has arrived, and in the blink of an eye, it’s May.
The May Day holiday has begun, and for most people, having a holiday is a very wonderful thing.
Students no longer need to sit in the classroom and listen to the eloquent lectures by fat or thin, old or young, beautiful or ugly teachers on the podium; office workers finally don’t have to work overtime and face the
The hateful leader can temporarily leave the industry of social animals; the small traders are extremely busy these days, busy making money, busy selling their products, hard work but very happy...
Of course, rooms are not a good thing for some people, such as the police and older single men and women.
China has a population of 1.3 billion, but there are more than 50 million single men and women. What a terrifying number. And as time goes by, this number continues to rise every year.
Perhaps, some people would say that with a population of 1.3 billion, there are only over 50 million singles, so they can just go wherever they want.
Yes, the country has a population of 1.3 billion. However, leaving aside the elderly, married men and women, and those underage children, and the men and women who are in love but not married, there are still more than 50 million single men and women.
What a terrifying number.
The population of S City is around 10 million, and leaving aside the floating population, in fact, the fixed population of S City is less than two-thirds. This is S City, a first-tier city in the country, and in such a city, single people
Men and women account for about a quarter of them. Is that a lot? Yes, a lot.
In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the parents' orders and the words of matchmakers. Now, although parents no longer arrange marriages, a new profession has emerged - blind date.
In every city, no matter how big or small it is, there are always a large group of people gathered in squares, parks and other places, mostly middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to people who exercise, dance square dances, and play chess and cards,
The largest number of them are parents holding photos of their children.
"Did you bring the goods?"
"Yes, have you brought it?"
"I brought it too."
"Let's take a look at the goods first."
"There are many people here, and if we go there, there will be fewer people there, so we won't attract attention."
"good."
This is a conversation that often happens in squares or corners of parks.
What do you think this is for? Pimping? Or selling drugs? No, this is just a prelude for parents on both sides to arrange blind dates for their children without asking for their consent.
"My son is a top student who graduated from university. He is now working in a state-owned enterprise with an annual salary of 120,000 yuan, not including the year-end bonus."
"Going to college? My son graduated from Peking University and is now the team leader of a state-owned enterprise with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan."
"What do you mean? My son has started his own business now, with an annual income of more than 800,000 yuan."
"My family has a three-story bungalow in the suburbs."
"My family has two apartments in Chengbei District."
"My family has three apartments in the city center."
"..."
"My daughter graduated from a normal university and works as a teacher in an elementary school."
"My daughter is a graduate student and works as a department manager in a certain unit."
"My daughter is a stewardess."
"My daughter is a doctor."
"..."
Does it sound like a vegetable seller in a wet market?
"My cucumbers are crisp and sweet, all natural."
"Pull it down, these are organic vegetables grown in greenhouses."
"I specifically purchase goods from XX city."
"Buy mine, not hers."
"No, buy mine, her cucumbers are wilted."
"...."
And these are the parents of their children now. They gather together, no longer selling vegetables, but like insurance company salesmen, crazily selling their children. The key is that the children don’t know yet, and the more important thing is competition. It's also very intense.
Blind date is a skill and an ability.
For many older men and women, when they mention the word blind date, they only have one feeling: fear, then boredom, and finally helplessness.
Shen Fang and Ning Yanran are similar in age. They are both thirty years old, but they are both unmarried and have never even been in love.
Shen Fang and Ning Yanran were high school classmates, good friends, and besties. Ning Yanran applied for the police academy when she was in college, while Shen Fang applied for the normal university. One wanted to be a policeman, and the other wanted to be a teacher. Fortunately, Fortunately, they both succeeded, Ning Yanran became a criminal police officer, and Shen Fang became a primary school teacher.
I don’t know whether it’s because they are too busy at work and have no time to fall in love, or because they don’t want to fall in love, let alone get married, so they remain single. They are not in a hurry, but there are others who are more anxious than them.
During the May Day holiday, school was on vacation. Shen Fang returned home. She originally wanted to take advantage of the May Day holiday to take her parents on a trip to relax. However, her parents didn't want to go out. Instead, a classic conversation occurred.
"Xiaofang, are you thirty-one this year?" Mother Shen asked while eating.
"Well, it will be thirty-two after my birthday." Shen Fang replied.
"Your birthday is in August. Counting the time, it's only a few days away. When will you bring a boyfriend back?"
"Yeah, it's time to find a boyfriend." Never.
Father Shen who spoke spoke.
"Dad, Mom, why are you bringing this up again? I don't want to get married yet. I'm only thirty years old."
Shen Fang suddenly felt helpless. The food that seemed to be very fragrant just now suddenly stopped being fragrant.
"You are already thirty-one now, and you will be thirty-two after your birthday. They say women in their thirties are trash. Look at your classmates. They are all married and their children are in elementary school. Look at you. "How come you are still alone after so many years of graduation?" Mother Shen said nonchalantly.
"Mom, I haven't found the right one. Besides, I'm usually busy with work, and those students aren't very obedient, so I don't have time to fall in love."
"Are you don't have time, or do you just don't want to talk? Xiaofang, you are not young anymore. You can't always hang out with those children. Do you want to be the king of children for the rest of your life?"
"Mom, don't worry about my affairs. I know what's going on."
"Xiao Fang..."
"mom!"
"Xiaofang, I thought about it. Your mother and I should retire next year. We have saved a lot of money over the years. You can quit your job as a primary school teacher and come back to start your own business, or find a job in H City. "It doesn't matter how much the salary is, at least you can get to know some people." Father Shen spoke again.
"Dad, why are you like this? I am a very good teacher and the students like me. I don't want to resign."
"Can I be a teacher for the rest of my life? Ah? I will resign during the summer vacation and the matter will be settled." Father Shen said firmly.
"Dad, I won't resign."
Shen Fang kept poking at the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, losing her appetite.
Father Shen and Mother Shen looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Finally, Father Shen said: "It's okay if you don't resign. During the summer vacation, bring a boyfriend back. I don't ask you to get married immediately. At least talk about it first." Bar."
"I'm busy and don't have time to talk."
"Either resign or find a boyfriend, it's your choice."
After saying this, Father Shen put down his chopsticks, stood up and went to the study room, without giving Shen Fang a chance to bargain.
After Shen's father left, Shen's mother started a new round of bombing.
"Is there a single male teacher in your school? If so, you are colleagues and we know each other very well. Why don't we talk about it?"
"Mom, all the teachers in our school are married or divorced."
"Married people can't do it, but divorced people can give it a try. Divorced men know how to feel sorry for others..."
"Mom, it's not like I can't get married, so why should I find a second wife?"
"Why......"
Mother Shen sighed, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Oh, by the way, do you still remember Aunt Cao, our neighbor from before?"
"remember."
"Do you still have any impression of Cao Sizhe?"
"Didn't he study abroad?"
Mother Shen nodded and said, "I went abroad to study. However, I met Aunt Cao two days ago. She said that her son would be back in the past two days. It just so happens that you are also on vacation. How about you meet? "
"Mom, we haven't seen each other for many years. It's not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate about this? Didn't you have a good relationship when you were children? I heard from Aunt Cao that his son is not married yet, and he doesn't even have a partner. Moreover, Cao Sizhe now has a double doctorate."
"mom......"
"I made an appointment with Aunt Cao. You two will meet the day after tomorrow."
"mom......"
"That's it. Have you finished eating? Then go and wash up quickly. I still have to clean up the dishes."
"???!!!"
Shen Fang was completely speechless. To be honest, she was not full yet. However, looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of her, she had already lost her appetite. She had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and turned back to her room.
When she returned to the room, Shen Fang was in a bad mood. She no longer had the joy of going home for the holidays. She now had a headache, was depressed, and more importantly, helpless.
Shen Fang is an only child, which is normal, because the era when she was born was a time of family planning. Therefore, Shen's father and Shen's mother had an operation after giving birth to her, and did not ask for a second child. A child, this is the sorrow of many people born in the 1980s and 1990s.
Shen Fang has been a teacher since she was a child, and her father was a university teacher, and her mother was also a middle school teacher. However, she later resigned and went to work in a corporate unit. They all say that parents are the role models and idols of every child, and Shen Fang is no exception.
When Shen Fang was a child, she was not good-looking, chubby, and very greedy. Others called her a silly big girl. Her peers bullied her, but they did not dare to bully her too harshly. After all, her parents were both teachers. When children were young, they were all afraid of teachers. At that time, the only one who was willing to play with Shen Fang was Cao Sizhe, who dressed up very cleanly every day and wore clean school uniforms to school.
Regarding Cao Sizhe, Shen Fang's impression of him was actually very vague.
In the past, they were neighbors and went to the same elementary school. They often went to school together, but their relationship was not very good.
Although Shen Fang was a girl, she was still young at that time and didn't care much about cleanliness. She was always dirty. Children were always like this when they were young. But Cao Sizhe was different. His family conditions were good and his father
As a leader, and his mother was a small entrepreneur, Cao Sizhe never lacked toys or new clothes since he was a child.
Starting from the first grade of elementary school
, By the time he was in junior high school, Cao Sizhe was always the cleanest one among his peers and the one with the best academic performance. During class, he was always the most active speaker when the teacher asked questions. He was the monitor, study committee member, and class representative.
, captain of the Young Pioneers, Cao Sizhe held all the positions in these classes. After entering junior high school, he was also the president of the student union and even a member.
Cao Sizhe loves to be clean, studies well, has a good family background, and is good-looking. He is very popular with girls and teachers. However, there are also many people who don't like him, and the reason is very simple.
Perhaps it is because of these reasons that Cao Sizhe has been very proud and even arrogant since he was a child. No matter who he sees, he always looks up at them, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling, especially towards Shen Fang.
When she was a child, Shen Fang's academic performance was pretty good, but after comparing it with Cao Sizhe, she seemed very ordinary. Every time Cao Sizhe saw Shen Fang, he would raise his head and look at Shen Fang with disgust.
, felt that Shen Fang was a chubby and stupid girl, he looked down on Shen Fang from the bottom of his heart, and Shen Fang was not willing to play with this guy who regarded himself as aloof.
When he was in the second grade of junior high school, Cao Sizhe's father was transferred from his original position and went to work in another city. Naturally, Cao Sizhe also transferred schools. From then on, Shen Fang never saw Cao Sizhe again.
What's interesting is that when Cao Sizhe knew that he was going to transfer to another school, he opposed his parents' opinions for the first time. But, is the opinion of a teenage child important to his parents?
It was not important at all, so Cao Sizhe's child finally left. Before he left, he came to see Shen Fang and wanted Shen Fang to go with him. Unfortunately, he was rejected on the spot.
Since then, the two of them have not met or had much contact. Shen Fang quietly finished junior high school, went to high school, and then applied for normal university. After graduation, she went to the Experimental Primary School in City S and became a
Elementary school teacher, still here today.
Shen Fang and Ning Yanran met in high school. They have a very good relationship and their parents are familiar with each other, so even though they went to different universities, their relationship as best friends is still very strong.
However, unlike Ning Yanran who has never been in love since she was in high school, Shen Fang once liked a boy in high school and confessed to him, and the other party agreed. Unfortunately, they were together for less than three months.
They broke up. The reason was that Shen Fang was admitted to a normal university, but the boy only passed three exams, which was too far away from Shen Fang. Therefore, the first love was over just after it had begun.
When she was in college, Shen Fang also fell in love twice. One was with a senior when she was a sophomore. However, they broke up after the senior graduated from college. The last time was with a senior when she was a senior.
Her junior classmate, who was in her third year of junior high school, had been in a relationship for half a year, but it ended in nothing.
Perhaps because every love was short-lived, or perhaps because three loves had broken her heart, Shen Fang never fell in love again after graduation. She put all her experiences into her students.
Of course, beautiful women, especially single women, can attract men's eyes and attention wherever they go.
When Shen Fang came to the Experimental Primary School, there were several single male teachers in the school who all liked Shen Fang and pursued her fiercely, like a peacock spreading its tail. Unfortunately, no matter how they pursued, Shen Fang
Fang was unmoved and had no intention of being with them, which was very disappointing.
A few years ago, there was a male teacher who had been pursuing Shen Fang for almost three years. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. While he was drunk, he knocked on Shen Fang's door and wanted to forcefully have sex.
Fortunately, Ning Yanran was in City S at that time. After Shen Fang discovered something was wrong, she contacted Ning Yanran as soon as possible. After Ning Yanran arrived, she took the male teacher away.
Although the rape attempt failed, she still had to bear legal responsibility. Originally, Shen Fang planned to forgive the male teacher. Unfortunately, the other party not only did not appreciate it, but also said that Shen Fang was gay and had a very corrupt private life, unlike many students.
Both parents had an affair, and then...then the guy was sent to jail, and his teaching certificate was revoked.
Maybe it was because of this incident that no male teacher pursued Shen Fang anymore.
In addition to the male teachers, there are also some parents of students who have some thoughts about her. Faced with the hints or naked expressions of love from the male parents, Shen Fang either refuses or directly contacts their wives. As for what will happen to them after they return home?
In this way, Shen Fang doesn't care.
Who doesn't want to have a romantic love? Especially women.
Shen Fang is also a woman, and she also wants to fall in love, but there is no suitable one. She has also thought about getting married, or just find a man she likes and get married. Especially in the past few years, under the pressure of her parents to get married,
Shen Fang thought about this more than once, but she didn't want to give in, especially after seeing her good friend Ning Yanran's persistence in love, she made up her mind to find a suitable man she likes, otherwise,
She would rather be single all her life.
In the past few years, she went home less and less, mainly because her parents would urge her to get married whenever she came back, which gave her a headache just thinking about it.
During this vacation, Shen Fang originally did not plan to come back, but Ning Yanran was no longer in S city, and Shen's mother called her to tell her that Father Shen's health was not good and asked her to come back for a visit, so she came back.
As a result, Shen's father was in better health than she was, so she knew it was a trap. During the meal, Shen's father and Shen's mother's words made her understand why they asked her to come back this time.
Blind date.
Shen Fang, who was sitting on the bed, felt helpless when she thought of the blind date, especially when she thought of going on a blind date the day after tomorrow and meeting that arrogant guy. Shen Fang wanted to die, so she made a phone call to ask for help.
"Xiao Ranran, sisters, something happened. It's an urgent matter. Please help me!"
