Chapter 336: Specious Standards
Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying left the farmland and headed for the branch in the city.
On the way, Xu Ying summarized the requirements that Lu Xiangyu mentioned: "Appearance, age, height, education, character, asymptotic rate, emotional experience, he has a lot of requirements, and they all sound reasonable, right?"
"No." Mu Zhengguang couldn't tell what was wrong. Maybe it was the asymptotic rate, maybe not. Maybe it was the height or the education level, maybe not. Or maybe it was all of them. Every standard mentioned by Lu Xiangyu was not completely correct and contained unreasonable elements?
Xu Ying could also feel that the standards proposed by Lu Xiangyu were wrong, but it would be even more wrong to deny all these standards. When talking to Lu Xiangyu, she did not deny it. At this time, she wanted to delve into the right and wrong, but found that there seemed to be nothing she could do.
"I also think what he said is unreasonable, but I can't think of a specific reason. Please help me think about it."
"Except for character, all other criteria he mentioned are negotiable. It doesn't matter if they are a little higher or lower."
Xu Ying asked softly, "If the education level is lower, like only a junior high school education, is that okay?"
Mu Zhengguang was shaken: If he only has a junior high school education, then this is not a problem of learning ability, but a problem of learning attitude, or some more complicated reasons, such as family reasons? Because the family is poor, or encountered some very special things...
These special things are generally bad things, things that people don't want to encounter. When these special things happen in a person's life, they may form a shadow that can never be erased.
When people are looking for a partner, they usually don’t ask the other person if they have “a shadow that can never be erased”, but once they discover that the other person has such a shadow in their heart, such a shadow may bring indelible pain to both of them.
Back to the topic, "If the educational level is lower, such as only junior high school education, does it matter?" The answer is no.
"It matters. It matters to us, it matters to a lot of people."
"Yes, there is definitely a relationship. When two people are friends, they don't need to consider their education background, but when two people get married, if they don't consider their education background, that would be too careless. Lu Xiangyu also talked about their relationship experience. If two people get married without considering their relationship experience, that would be too bold and too casual. The standards he mentioned are not too harsh, and there must be people who meet the standards in the crowd. But when he meets this person, he may not like the other person, and the other person may not like him, and the two may not get married. These things are all unknown."
“Although the results are unknown, having appropriate standards can help people avoid some obvious disasters.”
"This lesson is very important, but it is a bit redundant for us because..."
Mu Zhengguang immediately followed up her words: "Because I like you." "Oh." Xu Ying said these two words very quickly. The two words together sounded a bit like "ah", and it was an "ah" with a cute meaning. She took her classmate's arm and said, "Yes, because I like you, and because we already have the correct answer."
"Ah."
"Lu Xiangyu stated his requirements, and we helped him find someone according to his standards. He could add some more items to the requirements and express all his fantasies and expectations, but in that case, the facts would be far from his expectations, and this gap would push him into a very dangerous situation. He mentioned his height but not his weight, which is okay, because it proves that he still has shame and bottom line in his heart. Even if he has this requirement, he would think about whether he can tell me. I asked him to send the requirements to me, but I think someone like him, if it changes the time and place, he will not dare to say it because he is afraid of my power."
"Ah?" Mu Zhengguang didn't see these very accurately. But he saw one thing, that is, Lu Xiangyu often lied to his classmates. Most of Lu Xiangyu's lies were for self-protection, but these lies did not play a role in self-protection. Moreover, when facing his classmates, was it necessary for him to lie? I don't know. However, since Lu Xiangyu chose this, he must have his reasons and considerations.
"He may have become a little less wary of us. In the past, he would hardly admit his mistakes. I am also a little less wary of him, but I still think he is unreliable and I must be more cautious."
"He hasn't fully admitted his mistakes, and even if he has, it doesn't mean he wants to correct them."
"Yes. Regarding the criteria for choosing a spouse, we can ask others. It is too subjective for us to judge right and wrong. Who do you think would be more objective in answering this question?"
Xu Ying thought that if she were to set the standards, her standards would definitely be higher than Lu Xiangyu's, or even more unreasonable, but there was nothing she could do about it. Everyone's situation and conditions were different, and everyone's destiny was different. Standards that seemed unreasonable could be met, and standards that seemed reasonable could not be met. The wishes that were connected to the asymptote seemed easy, but could not be realized, and those that seemed difficult could be realized.
The young classmate’s standards for choosing a spouse must be very high and complex, such as love, purity, loyalty, sincerity, kindness, independence, sense of justice, and like-mindedness... But no matter how complex his standards are, they will not involve income. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.
Who would be more objective in answering this question? The first person that Mu Zhengguang thought of was Lu Hao, and the first person he rejected was also Lu Hao. Lu Hao's mate selection criteria are very strange. He seems to put appearance first, or rather, he puts feelings first. Because he has a good impression of Li Moqi, he always wants to do something for Li Moqi, but does Li Moqi have a good impression of him?
The second person Mu Zhengguang thought of was Shang Yu. But Shang Yu and Huang Ziran were together. Shang Yu's answer to this question must be full of subjectivity. Moreover, his answer should not contain so many fantasies and expectations. However, at this stage, fantasies and expectations are inevitable.
"I can't think of it. Neither Lu Hao nor Shang Yu is suitable to answer this question."
"I never thought that I might meet someone who is suitable to answer this question in the future. When we think that a person is not suitable to answer a question, we already have a rough answer in our mind, including our own answer to the question and the other person's answer to the question. Although the answer is not important to us, the standard for measuring people is still very important. Let's learn together in the future."
"Well, let's study together."
