"The bride price is 150,000 yuan. You must buy a house before marriage. If you add my name, you can pay the down payment first and let your parents bear the monthly payment."
“As for the car, it doesn’t matter the price or brand, as long as it’s available!”
"By the way, there's another thing. I won't live with your parents after we get married. We can only live together for a while at most."
"And after the baby is born, your mother will help take care of the baby!"
"My family's dowry is 100,000 yuan, and I decide how to spend it."
"We are all fellow villagers, from the same county. You should know these conditions, they are not excessive!"
"What do you think? If possible, we can try to talk and we can get married by the end of the year. If you can't meet this condition, don't waste time!"
Chang'an, in a hotpot restaurant.
Wang Donglai looked at the blind date in front of him, Huo Xiaoli, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Regarding the conditions proposed by Huo Xiaoli, Wang Donglai asked himself that they were not excessive.
However, he was unable to meet these conditions.
The betrothal gift is not expensive, it is normal.
It is also necessary to buy a house. You cannot rent a house after getting married.
As for cars, regardless of price or brand, it can be considered reasonable.
All the conditions taken together are very reasonable and normal.
only!
When Wang Donglai thought about the situation at home, he had the answer in his mind.
Without saying a word, he silently picked up the water glass and drank water, his eyes lowered.
When Wang Donglai made such an action, Huo Xiaoli opposite seemed to notice it.
"I understand. In this case, we are destined to meet again in the future!"
"It's hard to take a day off today, so I'll go back and have a good rest!"
"goodbye!"
Huo Xiaoli did not say bad words, but smiled politely. After saying these words, she stood up and left the place without waiting for Wang Donglai to speak.
"call!"
After Huo Xiaoli left, Wang Donglai let out a long breath.
Today's blind date is the niece of Wang Donglai's father's classmate.
Because the two came from the same county, their parents were of the same age, and they had common acquaintances. At the same time, they worked together in Tangdu.
So, there was this blind date.
Huo Xiaoli is a nurse in a tertiary hospital in Tangdu. She has no establishment and is just a contract worker.
As for Wang Donglai, after graduating from university, he worked at a branch base of a major Internet company in Tangdu.
If it weren't for the big internet company that Wang Donglai works for, which has a very famous name and has made several big hits in a row, making it a well-known national software, Wang Donglai would not have gotten such a blind date opportunity.
According to what Wang Donglai's father said, Huo Xiaoli's uncle, who is also a classmate of Wang Donglai's father, may have to go further in the formal position.
If she marries Huo Xiaoli, even if her job in Tangdu fails, she will still have a temple to worship Buddha when she returns to the small county town.
As for the conditions for blind date and marriage, Wang Yanxing also knew it, and told Wang Dong, don't worry, don't be afraid, as long as you like someone, you can get enough money by selling everything.
After Wang Donglai found out about the blind date, he felt so fucked up.
I haven't studied seriously since I was a child. I wanted to play but didn't dare to neglect my studies. I just learned enough.
I took the junior high school entrance examination and passed the high school entrance examination, barely passed the score line, and avoided losing my job.
After I entered high school and lived on campus, I let myself go even more and read novels day and night.
Compared with other people who are addicted to staying up late and skipping classes to surf the Internet, Wang Dong is good at reading novels.
When I was in my senior year of high school, after two years of neglecting my studies, I saw that I was about to take the college entrance examination and had no hope of going to college, so I had the idea of dropping out of school.
However, my father took me to the construction site for a day and then returned to school.
I wanted to give up novels completely and work hard for a year to get into college, but I found that I didn't have the perseverance at all.
I don’t understand, my response is slow, and I have no perseverance.
I only scored over 400 points in the college entrance examination, barely passing the third level.
In college, I failed three or four courses without thinking about what kind of work I would do in society. I just took it one step at a time.
When civil servants and public institutions are given an iron job, they feel that they are born with talents that will be useful. They are arrogant and arrogant, but they are also lazy and do not want to read and review, so they do not bother to take the exam.
After graduation, I submitted dozens of resumes and stayed in a small single room in an urban village for a month without making any progress.
Tangdu has the most universities and the best quality of population in the five northwest provinces.
With three academic degrees, no one would value him at all.
Fortunately, ByteDance’s review branch has been opened in Chang’an, which requires large-scale recruitment.
Fortunately, Wang Donglai caught up with the second wave and submitted his resume.
Even so, if it weren't for the fact that I said during the interview that I was willing to work all night shifts, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to join.
The salary is not high, the base salary is more than 2,000, the subsidy is more than 2,000, and the performance is more than 1,000.
It seems that you can get more than 6,000 yuan, but you need to work 25 days a month, most of which are night shifts.
The subsidy for a night shift is a few dozen yuan, which can be several hundred yuan a month.
The salary looks good, and the company he works for is also a well-known Internet company. Therefore, to outsiders, Wang Donglai seems to be doing well.
But only Wang Donglai knew that there were thousands of auditors in the base, all of whom were outsourced. They were recruiting people every month and dozens of people were leaving every day.
Exchanging youth and good health for money is no different from the factories in the south.
The only thing is that the salary is better, the benefits are better, and it sounds better when told.
In fact, Wang Donglai made enough money in the past two years to pay for the betrothal gift, and there was still some leftover.
But he was born in a rural area, and it was not easy for Wang's father to make money. The tuition for the university was borrowed from the state loan, which was 8,000 per year, 32,000 for four years, and together with his sister, it was 64,000.
After working, Wang Donglai paid back a sum of money every two months. It took him more than a year to pay back the money.
With so many thoughts in his mind, Wang Donglai sighed.
He took his cell phone out of his pocket, found his father's number, and called it.
"Dad, the blind date is over, we are not suitable for each other!"
To be concise and to the point, Wang Donglai didn't say much.
A slightly cautious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Why isn't it suitable? Are there some conditions proposed, or are you just not interested?"
"There aren't that many reasons. It's just that she and I are not suitable. I'm still young now. I'll make more money in a few years before getting married!"
Wang Donglai knew what his father was thinking, but he couldn't accept it.
In order to get married, he had to bear a lot of foreign debt.
And what is visible to the naked eye is that after getting married, he was living in embarrassment and had no money to spare.
It's not easy to live in peace for a long time, let alone get married and have children.
"You are thirty years old, and your job outside is not stable. You have to stay up late every day in this job, which is not good for your health. If you marry Huo Xiaoli, then I will show off my old face and go to my old classmate. If you get closer, he will find you a better job no matter what, enter a better unit, and work as a temporary worker. When the time comes, you can go to work and review for the exam at the same time. There are still five years left, so there will still be opportunities. .”
Listening to the voice on the phone, Wang Donglai's heart surged and his eyes felt a little sour.
"Dad, don't talk anymore. I'll eat first. I'll talk about it when I'm done!"
Wang Donglai hung up the phone before the person on the other end could speak.
Putting the phone on the table, Wang Donglai stretched out his hand to take the water cup to drink, but when his hand shook, the water in the cup spilled on the phone. A burst of electricity spread out, and a dizzying feeling suddenly hit his heart.
The next second, he completely lost consciousness.
