I am your black forever

Lao Fang has not earned much in his life, so his ways to make money have always been limited, but there have always been many ways to save money.Lao Fang is a very weird and realistic person.

When Lao Fang was in his twenties, he would still smoke a few cigarettes when he was free, but later he quit slowly because he thought cigarettes were expensive, but fortunately, he was not very addicted.After quitting smoking completely, he began to think about the stir-fried green tea at the end of spring in Wucheng Dongshan every year. It is a kind of green tea. When planting tea, one step down is the grade of ten.This kind of green tea can't be kept at all, so at the end of the season, some fried green tea factories in Dongshan fried the remaining goods and sold them cheaply in front of the factories, while Lao Fang bought them every year. Half sold and half given away to him, he took it home and stored it in the refrigerator, drinking it for a year.

He will put a bucket under the faucet of the kitchen sink at home and wait, turn on the faucet a little bit, and collect all the slowly dripping water in the bucket, and check the water meter under the stove in his kitchen from time to time The pointer does not turn.But basically it will not be transferred, and this water does not require money.He waits for water like this every day, even when the tenants at home go to work, and the water he waits for in a day is enough for him to wash vegetables and do some cleaning.His tenants, Xiao Qin and Xiao Li, hadn't noticed the landlord's "problem" at first, but Xiao Li happened to find out about it one time, and they discussed it in private, saying that they didn't expect the landlord to live in such a poor life.In their eyes, the locals in Wucheng are generally rich, because the last one or two batches of demolished residents happened to meet a good policy a few years ago, and a house can be bought at least one million yuan, plus a family There is no reason why people work locally without money, but how do they know that the landlord has saved it like this.

They see that the landlord is so economical, and they are ashamed to waste it.Their rent does not include water and electricity, and each time the water and electricity bills are shared equally by three people.Since then, they have tried to save as much as possible.

Lao Fang pays close attention to preferential information from all parties.Although his family no longer lives in the old city, but he heard that a new supermarket opened in the old city, the price is affordable, and the price was even cheaper when it opened, so he took the bus for half an hour every morning to go there to buy vegetables .Although the mountains and rivers are far away, he has a lot of time anyway, and he also has a bus card for the disabled, which doesn't cost money.Since the opening of the big supermarket for the people, Lao Fang has gone there every day from the beginning to now three or four times a week.

He picks kidney beans, black beans, peanuts and other small grains in other supermarkets, and he picks them one by one, so the bulk grains that Lao Fang bought home have never been mixed with any impurities or spoiled. particle.The young people in the same room saw that the beans and peanuts bought by the landlord were so pure and cheap, so they also asked the landlord to help them bring some, and the old Fang was willing to help, and helped them choose one by one. Bring it back to them later.

He tried his best to build a good relationship with young people such as tenants, sons, tenants' friends, son's friends, etc., because he found that the market was full of information about the circle of friends collecting likes and discounts.At that time, his son had just bought him an old Samsung touch-screen mobile phone, and he learned to use WeChat, and he wanted to actively join the tenants and his son's circle of friends with a big face.These young people are very helpless, because for example, his two tenants, their parents wanted to add them on WeChat, they all directly refused, but now they met the old Fang with an eager look in his eyes, they unexpectedly Can't refuse.So I added it. After adding it, whenever Lao Fang encounters any matter of collecting likes and getting discounts, he must call it in the circle of friends, so that people will give him likes. .

In order to save money, a person like him who has worked hard to learn all kinds of "new weapons" and played them well, how could he not focus on the vacant living space in the small two-story house on his son's side?

It's a pity that every time I narrate, every time I "plead", I am always rejected.

Today the son did not answer him again.Fang Jie dismissed his proposal with a long speech, and he was about to initiate another proposal, when the little Gu who was washing the dishes inside popped up from the kitchen, presumably he had already done the washing.He is also embarrassed to repeat this matter in front of outsiders. Being repeatedly rejected by his son is one aspect, and he doesn't want others to see him pick up like this.Even though he knows that he is extremely frugal in the eyes of others, he will not take the initiative to tell others how frugal he is, just like he never mentioned to his tenants that his family is a low-income household in the city.If someone said to him, "Hey? Lao Fang, you live a very easy life, huh?" he would tell others that he knows how to live.

He said he was going back first. Although Fang Jie went online to answer some buyers' questions, he still sent his father to the door. Gu Xiaocheng followed behind, step by step, and also sent Lao Fang out.Gu Xiaocheng wanted to send Lao Fang across the road to the bus stop, but Lao Fang said no, let him rest at home, and don't fall again when he goes out.

At this time, the lights on the first floor have been turned on, and it is only a few days before March, the weather is still cold, and it gets dark early.Although Lao Fang said that there is no need to send him off, Gu Xiaocheng still got out of the metal rolling door and wanted to watch Lao Fang cross the road.The old man walked dozens of steps to the south, got off the sidewalk, and stood at the north exit of the large ground parking lot in front of the Jewel Plaza. He looked at the car on the left, and when there was no car coming, he had to go to the right. Cross the road.He looked back again, saw Xiao Gu's child still standing, and thought to himself, this child is really sensible, it's really good to be so considerate in doing something, not as "ruthless" as his own son.

Gu Xiaocheng watched Fang Jie's father cross the road safely, then turned his head, and then stooped into Fang Jie's small shop—in fact, this shop should be regarded as the warehouse of his online store.After he got in, he closed the glass door first. He didn't know if Fang Jie would go out to buy something later, so he didn't close the shutter door.

He nodded and walked to Fang Jie's side. He half leaned on the edge of the large rectangular table, next to Fang Jie's computer.Fang Jie answered buyers' questions on the computer.Fang Jie's four-year undergraduate degree in that college was related to "graphic design", so it is still possible to apply it to stationery.In the early days of this business, he almost always collected the most popular Korean stationery styles, designed them himself, printed them and sent them to the westmost part of the development zone called "Xiqiu District". Terry, he found a small factory to make it for him.In addition to being the most famous for making wedding dresses in that Xiqiu District, there is another one, that is, there are so many small factories that make moulds, and you can find any OEM to make very distinctive stationery.

Because of his intuition in graphic design, he can make everything beautiful from small stickers, to bookmarks, to desktop storage, etc.He just needs to give them Korean packaging and say they are Korean stationery. In fact, not many people who buy cute stationery pay attention to what brand of stationery they are, so he doesn't have to give them a brand.The quality is really good, especially the design.

But he suffers from the disadvantage. Although all the items are "cutting-edge products" designed by him, they are very popular with some student parties and parent-child mothers on the Internet, but because he wants to advertise that these are Korean creative stationery, So it cannot become a brand designed by itself.And those who sell money are often "independent designs". Now he doesn't even dare to recognize his own designs, and he has to pretend to be made by a designer from a local stationery factory in Korea. He can't determine the price. too well.

After sitting halfway for a while, Gu Xiaocheng first looked at the goods piled up in front of the entire wall on the north wall. There were many cardboard boxes and goods stacked directly on top of each other. He asked, "You need to buy some shelves here." Fang Jie didn't look up, and responded casually: "Yes, yes. I will order shelves in March. Years ago, the old Zhou next door said that he would give me one, and I was still waiting for it. I don't know how long it has passed. They didn’t send it to me either. I think I’d better order it myself...or when I go to receive the goods and look at the finished product samples after a while, I’ll see if there are any discarded shelves in their factory, and I’ll get some back at that time.” Fang Jie's somewhat "thrifty" character is exactly the same as that of Lao Fang.

Gu Xiaocheng nodded, and then asked again: "Huh? Fang Jie?" Fang Jie didn't lift his head, and said "Mmm".Gu Xiaocheng asked: "What's going on next door to your house?" Fang Jie asked: "What's going on?" Gu Xiaocheng said: "When I was watching your father crossing the road at the door, I saw a man standing on the steps of that house. Man, the door of his house was also opened, but there was no one inside, half of the lights were turned on, and there was a woman like an old woman sweeping the floor inside, who said something, and the man was standing closer to me, So I said to the woman, "It's useless to be young, she has to be willing to do it." So... what are you willing to do?"

Fang Jie typed the last few words on the keyboard, and said: "Ah? Oh! Next door, next door is a chicken shop." Gu Xiaocheng was surprised when he heard it, and said: "Why are you in this kind of place?" Next to the shop!" Fang Jie raised his eyes, looked over, and said, "What are you shouting about! The rent of this shop is cheap! The rent on the left and right sides of this kind of shop is much cheaper. The property company under the name of the developer made it up." Gu Xiaocheng thought for a while, and then said: "Then they pick up customers there every night, aren't you so noisy?" Fang Jie looked back at the computer, wanting to see if there is any information on it. No buyers came to ask questions, and seeing if there were any, he raised his head and said: "They have soundproof panels inside, and some of them were taken out to open houses." Gu Xiaocheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you gone in?" He didn't care much about his tone, just said: "What are you talking about? I heard it from the people around you." Gu Xiaocheng said: "I think the men around you must be very interested in that store. You It’s just next to her house, it’s not for the convenience of ‘living’.”

Fang Jie found him annoying, and said, "Oh, no. Can you stop talking about something, I'm doing business here. If you have nothing to do, just turn off the dehumidifier and turn off the ball that smells of flowers. Close it." The humidity in the south is high, Fang Jie bought that kind of low-power dehumidifier, and turned it on for two hours in the evening to ensure that his goods would not smell musty when they went to the buyer.

Gu Xiaocheng got up and tapped his feet to turn off the dehumidifier, and then put on the hemispherical round cover of the flower-scented ball.He knows that Fang Jie saves everything, even when the shampoo in the bathroom is about to run out, he turns the bottle upside down, so that the last few squeezes will not waste the bottle Be sure to use up the last few drops.

This person is a bit frugal, and he can't stand it. For example, he won't turn on the dehumidifier for more than a minute.

But when Gu Xiaocheng sat back on the edge of the table again, he was entangled with the previous matter again, and no longer thought about Fang Jie's frugality on Valentine's Day, because it seemed that the previous matter was more important.He asked, "Did they come to pester you?" Fang Jie finished typing a few more words, and said, "You are crazy, do you think this is a brothel in ancient times? It was legal in ancient times, but it is legal here in modern times." Illegal, they usually avoid people before it's too late, and still pester them? Besides, most of them are young girls in their early twenties, except for those who dare to look straight at the customers who come to the door, they buy and sell clearly; for outsiders, probing, The men and women watching their play all have dodge eyes, so why come up to pester them?" Gu Xiaocheng thought for a while, and asked again and again: "Then did you come to the door on your own initiative?" Fang Jie said: "I'm so annoying. ! It's none of your business whether I come to the door or not."

Gu Xiaocheng paused, but did not speak.

Then, he tapped his feet and moved towards the stairs step by step, his steps were obviously much more staggering than when old Fang was here.He moved upstairs step by step.Fang Jie turned his head and looked at the back for a while, and suddenly felt pity in his heart. He felt that the back suddenly lost ten catties, and felt that not only the ankle was cracked, but also the calf and tibia were also broken. As if the bones were broken, it really seemed to be staggering more and more.

There was some pity in Fang Jie's eyes, and he yelled at the people who were halfway up the stairs: "Hey! I didn't say you were annoying. Look at you, just say a few words and go upstairs." Xiaocheng turned his head and looked down at Fang Jie. On the darker stairs, the light in his eyes flickered as if there was moisture in them.

Fang Jie thought to himself: X! X! What is this guy doing!true or false?Can't say a few words?Why do you look so sad?

Gu Xiaocheng went upstairs like this.Fang Jie, who was bewildered, was left alone downstairs and continued to struggle at his job.

At nine o'clock, he quit work, turned off the computer, and closed the screen, as if he didn't want to look at it any more.He first put down the outer roller shutter door, and then wandered into the small kitchen at the back, inadvertently caught his eye by a smear of yellow on the outermost plate on the dish rack.

He walked over in three steps and two steps, wiped it with his index finger, and immediately got angry there.The buddy upstairs pretended to be a good boy who is familiar with housework in front of his father, and offered to wash the dishes. As a result, all the bowls and plates were covered with a layer of oil, which must have been washed with water. , I didn't even put the dish soap.He also deliberately lingered in the small kitchen for so long, pretending to be washing carefully, and the water was rushing, as if the water bill was free.

While cursing in his heart, Fang Jie rewashed all the bowls and dishes that were used for dinner today. After washing those, it didn't matter, and he had to rewash the dish rack and the base again.It was almost 09:30 when the work was finished.

After he finished washing, he turned back to the long table outside, picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. There was a message on it saying "arrived home safely" sent to him by his father at [-] o'clock.He just went back to his dad at this time, saying that he had already finished work, and that he would wash up and sit on the bed later, so he would stop sending him messages.His father said yes, and "praise" to him that his old classmate is a good boy, saying that he sent him across the road eagerly today, saying that he was polite and thoughtful.Fang Jie didn't even think about it, and sent a voice message: "You pay attention to him, he is just a person who can put on a show in front of others, he doesn't know how bad he is behind his back, he is bad in his stomach." His father also sent a message saying : "What's the matter with you, people will live with you for a few days, why can't you tolerate it?"

Fang Jie was pissed off by the previous "big project" of re-washing the dishes and washing the drying racks, so he said that to the man upstairs in front of his father.Helplessly, his father didn't believe what he said, and only thought that he was talking bad things about others.
