Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 78: Wooden Stick
When they were almost done eating, Jiang You’s phone vibrated.
I picked up the phone and it was the courier calling.
"Just throw it in the yard. It's raining, so put it on the steps," Jiang You said, "Yes, just put it there. Okay, okay."
After ending the call, he saw Tang Butian looking at him, "I bought a magic robe for Jiang Mo. Last time I bought him some Lego toys, and he liked them very much. I'm considering going to the parts wall to get some small parts and build a unicorn or something to put in the room."
"Xia Xia is not stupid." Tang Butian said suddenly.
"Then what?"
"I found the channels through which they bought the licenses and the printing places, and secretly controlled them."
“Good job.”
"I read that book you mentioned, 'The Power of Women,' and other material. I looked through it and I don't understand why anyone would fall for it."
"Religion deals with emotional issues, and Xia Xia wants recognition," Jiang You put down his chopsticks, "losing weight is also very hard."
He leaned back, unzipped his jacket, and touched his belly. "Everyone knows that obesity is bad for the body, but not many people are determined to lose weight successfully. There are many . Many people have average business skills, but they like to take classes to learn English and other things, which means they are spending money to reduce their anxiety."
“Are you anxious?”
"I'm quite anxious. Sometimes I feel short of breath when I sleep. When it rains, my knees and back ache. When I bend over and squat, I feel like my stomach is stuck. I feel uncomfortable."
"oh."
"You are anxious too. The first place has been taken away."
"I'll get it back."
"Would you like to join me in believing in the Spider Cult? I can transform into Spider-Woman in a minute, go back to the mountain and fight from the foot of the mountain to the top, until the sun and the moon change color..."
"No," Tang Butian interrupted Jiang You's nonsense, "You can't lose weight by believing in the Spider Cult."
She stood up, walked into the spotless open kitchen, took out two bottles of orange juice from the refrigerator, walked back to the dining room, placed the orange juice in front of Jiang You, and then continued to sit down opposite Jiang You.
Jiang You smiled, unscrewed the bottle and took a sip, "I finally got to drink some water this time. This orange juice tastes good and is quite fresh."
"There are many."
"Then I'll take two bottles back when I leave, and let Jiang Mo have a taste. Nan Kongkong, right? You graduated from college, so if you take an IQ test, your score should be higher than mine, right? The Mensa test?"
“No.”
He continued, "When evaluating a student in school, hard work and attitude are considered plus points. After leaving school, most people are result-oriented. Of course, if you can enter the system, attitude is still relatively useful. Her shortcomings are exposed. She admits that she is a weakling and a scumbag. She can't accept it herself, so she puts it on the environment. As for the environment, if you look for extreme cases, you will find a lot. If you think too much, you will feel that the world is hopeless, the end of the world is coming, and the flood is coming. If you don't think about it, every day is still prosperous and peaceful."
Tang Butian sipped his orange juice.
"Nan Kongkong is very anxious. He went to extremes because of a single thought. It's just like some people who want to lose weight by having gastric resection. They grow roundworms in their stomachs and end up growing them in their brains. It's almost the same thing. A few years ago, a boss worth hundreds of millions of dollars died on the operating table after liposuction. It's terrible. I still have to rely on exercise. When the weather gets warmer, I will continue to go to the gym to run."
"Is it so difficult to lose weight?" Tang Butian looked at his bulging belly.
"It's difficult. When you are young, you can eat whatever you want. When you get older, your metabolism gets worse. You like to eat meat and sweets, and you don't like to move. It's normal to gain weight," Jiang You stood up, walked to the balcony, opened the window and looked down. The rain was getting heavier. The wind blew a few drops onto his glasses. He took off his glasses and looked outside. "The plot ratio is low, and the greening is really good. I like the houses in this community."
"purchase."
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it," he put on his glasses, "In fact, she probably knows deep down that she can't get promoted based on her ability, but she dare not admit her incompetence. She is anxious and puts the blame on the environment. The more she thinks about this environment, the more desperate she becomes. At this time, the opportunity appears in front of her. She is not stupid, but she needs this opportunity to solve her long-accumulated emotional problems. The ending is inevitable."
"You know Nankongkong very well."
"We've met a few times. When we met, she was almost dead, and she had already accepted her fate. She was willing to tell me, a fellow member of the reading club, some of her true feelings. Besides, I agreed with her most of the time."
"Have you told her the truth about the book club?"
"Why bother?" Jiang You turned around. "If there was no reading club, maybe after five or six years, or even ten years, she would have understood. If she had joined the reading club... you see those star-chasing girls, they are quite quiet and pretty in real life, but the words they say for their idols on the Internet are..." He touched his chest and took a deep breath, then shook his head. "Religion is irrational. Otherwise, where would the extreme emotions come from to feed the gods, demons, and monsters?"
He lifted the bottle, tilted his head back and drank the orange juice, then walked to the dining table, put the empty bottle and takeout box back into the bag and tied it tightly, then he took two bottles of orange juice from the refrigerator and put them in his bag.
"I'll throw the garbage away, you clean the table yourself, have a good rest, and do your best for the exam tomorrow."
"Um."
"Please treat me to a meal after the exam." Jiang You looked at her and said.
"What do you want to eat?"
"It's all right. If you want something hot, maybe barbecue or lamb rib hotpot."
"good."
After leaving the community, Jiang You took a taxi directly back to the insect house.
The rain washed away the chalk words on the small blackboard, and all the colors blurred together. He took down the small blackboard, shook off the water on it, and then stepped into the yard.
At this time, the store door opened automatically.
Jiang You raised his head and saw Jiang Mo wearing a black magic robe and small round glasses, standing at the long table and waving a magic wand in his hand.
As he moved, the door opened and closed.
Jiang You walked into the store.
With a bang, the door behind him closed tightly.
"Come on, make a little fireball for me to see."
The staff began to burn.
Plenty of firepower.
"Water polo, another water polo."
The fire died out, and the staff was reduced to a half-burnt piece of wood.
Jiang Mo jumped onto Jiang You.
Jiang You hugged him with a smile, "Little magician, let's go upstairs and watch a movie this afternoon, okay? How about ordering two cups of hot milk tea and a fried chicken takeout?"
"By the way, in the movies, you have to chant spells to cast spells, so remember to learn them."
"I brought you a bottle of orange juice, do you want some?"
