076: Life & Money

Next is to go to singing, the old place, last time everyone teamed up to respond to Tao Yu's mother's KTV. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

A few people cried wolf howls in the private room, shouting at the top of their throats for two or three hours, exhausted.

At the beginning of the night, everyone dispersed, Cao Ming needed to go back to the dormitory to pack his things, prepare to rent a house tomorrow and move, and prepare to go back to school first.

Shang Xuemei motioned to Cao Ming to wait, called home, asked Shen Yi on the side to cover, opened her eyes and said nonsense, saying that she would play with a female classmate again, and turned her head to meekly hold hands with Cao Ming.

The two of them walked around the campus, rarely enjoying the quiet time of the two, and there was a trace of comfort flowing in their hearts.

Both of them deliberately slowed down their pace for a while, but finally arrived at Cao Ming's dormitory building.

At this time, Shang Xuemei woke up from the good atmosphere and thought about the facts: "Did you prepare for the matter of going to the construction site to sell food before?" ”

The tone is natural, like a little wife who is full of plans for her husband.

"Also, you rent a house tomorrow, is the money enough? I still have some savings there, I'll bring it to you tomorrow、、、"

Cao Ming interrupted with a smile: "Don't make me look like I'm going to do something earth-shattering, such a big move is to be a peddler!"

I have enough money, I didn't spend much on the scholarship last time, but this time I invested it enough. ”

Besides, how can he sing Bai pay in private in the joint entrance examination.

Shang Xuemei saw that Cao Ming's tone did not seem to be fake, she was afraid that it would affect the boy's self-esteem, so she didn't insist, but gently agreed to come over tomorrow and move with Cao Ming.

The two of them still wanted to warm up again, but Shang Xuemei's small Nokia rang, no need to guess, it must be someone else's parent.

Sure enough, after answering the phone, Shang Xuemei looked unhappy, and her face was reluctant: "My mother urged me to go back、、、"

Cao Ming compared his heart to his heart: "It's really not early, you hurry back, so as not to worry your father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

Shang Xuemei sneered, and her sadness was offset a lot: "You're really welcome, if you have the ability, you can call in front of them another day." ”

Cao Ming knew at this time that he didn't have to pay taxes for bragging, so he raised his eyebrows: "Just call it, who is afraid of whom?" It's a big deal, and it's a slap in the face. ”

"Okay, don't be poor, I'm leaving"

Shang Xuemei lightly scratched Cao Ming's cheek, and her figure disappeared at the end of the street lamp.

Cao Ming touched the kissed place where it seemed that the residual warmth still remained, and smiled like a fool.

The roommates couldn't wait to go home, and the dormitory was in a mess, like Nanjing after the retreat of the Kuomintang who was busy fleeing for their lives.

After working in the dormitory for a while, Cao Ming found that it was still early, and he was idle, so he went out again to see if he could find a place to rent a house tonight.

After a big turn around the construction site after school, I really found a small advertisement for a rental room.

Cao Ming stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a small head poked out of the crack in the door: "Who are you looking for?" A little girl of twelve or thirteen looked wary.

Cao Ming knew that he couldn't tell her clearly: "Are your parents here?" ”

The little girl turned her head and shouted, and in a moment a man with a scruffy beard came out.

He looked at Cao Ming with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Cao Ming made his intentions clear.

"You rent? Alone? The other party was a little skeptical.

"Didn't you post an advertisement for a single room for rent, let's talk about it, what kind of lease law are you going to make?" Cao Ming got straight to the point.

The man swallowed: "Two 、、、 three hundred a month!" ”

Cao Ming saw at a glance that the man in front of him was a man who couldn't do business, and he didn't have the meaning of bullying honest people to bargain, so he quickly decided: "How much is the deposit?" ”

The man was stunned: "Deposit, what deposit?" ”

Cao Ming fell down.

The little girl who opened the door before on the side was a ghost, her eyes rolled, and she interjected, but it was the lion who opened her mouth: "Pay first, then live in, pay three hundred first." ”

Cao Ming was amused by this pair of father and daughter who didn't understand the market, and pouted: "There is no full payment for renting a house in the world." ”

The man's expression was twisted: "How much should I charge for the deposit?" ”

Cao Ming also said kindly: "That's it, half and half, the deposit is one hundred and fifteen, and the rest will be settled at the end of the month, and I will rent it for a month." ”

The man thought the idea was not bad, and agreed on the spot, but there was no follow-up.

Cao Ming had to remind loudly: "Take me to see the room first?" ”

The man suddenly woke up, "oh oh" a few times, but covered it up ominously: "The house hasn't been cleaned up yet, let's clean up tonight, or will you come back tomorrow?" ”

Cao Ming felt that his concessions were enough, so he didn't agree: "I mainly look at the size and location of the room, it's the same whether I collect it or not, besides, I will move tomorrow, and I won't move in today."

If I get along with each other in the room, let's settle it, and I'll give a deposit, and if it's not good, I'll be able to go around somewhere else later. ”

This was reasonable, and the man had no choice but to take Cao Ming in.

Cao Ming entered the door, and only then did he understand why the other party was like that just now, because it was too chaotic! Things were almost all thrown around, pots and pans were thrown on the ground, and every now and then they kicked out as they walked.

In the middle of the room, there was a crib with a missing heel leg, and the child in it was crying, and the little girl just now was hurriedly helping her brother change his diaper.

Cao Ming frowned, already hesitating.

The man opened a room and said to Cao Ming: "This is the room, what do you think?" The room is connected to the back door and gives you the key to come in directly from the outside, which is very convenient. My daughter lives in now, and if you get along, I'll let her move to the hall later. ”

Cao Ming's eyes lit up, this room is really good, the window faces east, the lighting is good, and it is really convenient for him to have a back door, but looking at the room being quietly arranged by the little girl like a fairy tale cottage, I feel a little loved.

Cao Ming turned his head and just watched the little girl holding her younger brother and looking into her room, probably knowing that her territory was about to be invaded, and her eyes were complicated.

Cao Ming was silent.

The man thought that Cao Ming was not satisfied, and was a little anxious, after all, this money could solve many of his problems in front of him, buying rice, oil, milk powder and soap、、、 in short, he needed it very much.

He rubbed his hands and laughed: "Actually, the price is negotiable, no less than fifty for you?" ”

Cao Ming heard the constraints behind his slightly humble background, and took a note: "Fifty less for me?" Simpleton? Good?

Forget it, three hundred is three hundred, if you really have the heart, just give me the cooking tools to use in the future, and I will pay for the water and electricity bills myself. As he spoke, he took out one hundred and fifty yuan from his wallet and handed it to the man.

The man took the money, was very happy, and did not think twice about Cao Ming's additional requirements: "Just use it." ”

Grinning carefully, he put the money away closely.

On the way back, Cao Ming's mind was full of the man's expression of collecting money, obviously happy, but Cao Ming felt sad. I was blocked in my heart, and I inexplicably remembered two things, both about money, one was personal experience, and the other was hearsay.

Once he and his partner went on a business trip to Shanghai, and saw a small vest in Jiuguang Department Store, which was very small, and when he got closer to see the introduction, he knew that it was for dogs, just a little, one piece, two thousand nine hundred and ninety-five. The promotion lady came over and smiled: "Sir, do you like it?" If you want to buy it, it's best to buy four pieces, and it's convenient for the dog to be changed and washed. ”

At that time, when the company was founded, Cao Ming's whole body went up and down, that is, the Bora tie that Yueqing bought was the most expensive, one hundred and twenty yuan, which was less than one-twentieth of the dog vest.

At that time, he smiled at his partner and said: "They all say that pigs and dogs are not as good, I don't know this pig, and I am indeed inferior to dogs." ”

There is another thing I heard from a friend.

Once shopping in the square, followed by an elderly bangbang, who is the kind of migrant worker who waits for people to buy things to help carry the goods. As a result, they went shopping for a day and didn't buy anything, and the old migrant workers followed for a day, and they didn't earn any income at all.

At the end, the old man held his mouth and said to his friend: "Boss, it's okay, I broke my foot yesterday, and I walked for a day today, and it hurts a lot, can you give me a dime, I'll buy a bag of painkiller powder to eat later." ”

These two stories of Murong Xuecun are always incisive: sometimes the light throw of other people's hands is greater than what other people have in their lives.

"Life, really fuck up".

Cao Ming, who stepped on the tail of his junior high school career, sighed leisurely.
