1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 617: Deputy Webmaster Gao back then, Webmaster Gao now
……

While the family was cleaning up the yard, Luo Tao was lazy and took his two children to Houhai for ice skating.

Early in the morning, we took our skating equipment with us and arrived at Houhai. As soon as we got into the mood, we heard the BB camera in our pockets beeping non-stop.

The caller ID shows a set of numbers "200", which means "come back soon if something happens".

Without hesitation, he quickly packed up his things and even coaxed and tricked the two brothers and sisters who were having fun back.

Ever since I put the BB camera on my waist, my whole temperament has changed. Before, I still had the aura of a scholar, but now I look a bit like a coal boss.

Luo Tao doesn't bother hanging the BB machine around his waist. After all, he is a prophet who has experienced the intelligent era, so he still has this little arrogance.

But I can't stand my wife's strength. In her words: If you go out and get lost, with this thing on you, you can still find your way home.

He is definitely a logic genius and makes no sense at all.

In the years before Big Brother, this thing was indeed an advanced communication tool.

Sometimes it is really convenient to bring this thing. In this situation, if Luo Tao had not brought this thing, Zhu Lin would have had to go to Houhai himself if he wanted to find him.

With it, you can know the priorities of things from the displayed "Morse code".

"What's going on? You're calling us back in a hurry."

Luo Tao held the skating guy in one hand and the little girl in the other.Before entering the door, I bumped into Zhu Lin who looked anxious.

When they met at the door, Luo Tao quickly asked her.

Zhu Lin first took care of the two little red-faced children, "I'll tell you after you get into the hospital."

When she said this, Luo Tao didn't know what was important, but he didn't hurry. Instead, he took the skating tool and knocked the ice and snow residue on the stone steps beside the door.

Zhu Lin pulled the brother and sister and stood still in the doorway. He took a mini broom from the wall behind the door and used it to clear the ice and snow on the shoes of the brother and sister.

"Okay, let's go back to our room to play."

The two brothers and sisters were both sensible and obedient, and of course they did not dare to lose their temper in front of Zhu Lin, so they happily ran towards the courtyard.

Little October is very calm and goes back to the house in an orderly manner, while the little girl is very lively. She calls out to her grandparents and Sister He at the top of her lungs from the corner of the screen wall, and pomegranates and crabapples are not left behind either.

This girl has a very similar personality to her grandma Su Guilan. She is straightforward, sincere and down-to-earth, and is also very naughty and funny.

Calling people, for fear that others would not know that she was back.

"This kid is crazy again." Luo Tao carried the skating guy in and handed it to Zhu Lin. He took the mini broom she handed him and started cleaning the ice and snow on his shoes.

Zhu Lin took the skating guy and ran towards the concierge. He took two quick steps, turned his face and put the things in the corner against the door.

"This is not what you are used to."

As soon as the couple started to quarrel, someone intervened, "Hey, Master Luo, why are you here?"

Luo Tao, who was pouting and sweeping the snow and ice off his shoes, didn't get up when he heard someone talking to him outside the door. He twisted his waist and turned his angle of view to make sure there was someone outside the door before getting up.

"Ahem, Uncle Gao, please stop following those people and calling me "Master Luo" for not being "Master Luo".

As he said that, he put the broom in his hand against the wall and hurriedly came up to meet him.

This Uncle Gao is none other than his father Luo Shaoyi's old classmate, part-time Luo Tao's old leader, Gao Yuan, the deputy director of the second-hand goods station back then, and now the veritable leader of the second-hand goods station.

A few years after Luo Tao left the second-hand goods station, Uncle Gao became a full-time employee. His smooth transition to full-time job was also due to luck. Firstly, stationmaster Li retired honorably, and secondly, his only competitor, Nie Zheng, was directly promoted to the district culture. The competent department is the three knives of Qingshui Yamen.

There was no interception in the front and no pursuers in the back. The stationmaster's crown naturally fell on his bald head.

Busy taking cigarettes out of his coat pocket, he also enjoyed this moment very much, showing his big teeth, and continued with a smile.

"Uncle Gao, are you not at work today?" Zhu Lin greeted everyone enthusiastically.

Gao Yuan was no stranger to the family, even Xiao Shiyue and his brother and sister knew this bald grandfather.

The two families have become very close over the years. In addition to the friendship between the older generation, there is now another layer of business contacts.

Since he took charge of the junkyard, as long as there are good things (not cultural relics that cannot be bought and sold), [-]% of them have become Luo Tao's collection, including other junkyards in the capital.

There is no black deal here.Things cost as much as they cost. With Luo Tao's current worth, he no longer cares about this. What he wants is to get information in advance and take advantage of the information gap to stay ahead of others.

Of course, in order to obtain this information gap, some additional mental compensation must be given to the tall webmaster.

Luo Tao also started a small business for his son and daughter, so that the relationship between the two families became more familiar.

Zhu Lin greeted me so warmly, which made him even happier. He blew out smoke and squinted his eyes, "Go to work, how can I not go to work? I am not as lucky as your father-in-law and his wife, to have such filial children as you."

"Your boss put a high hat on our couple early in the morning. If you are not in a hurry to go to work, why don't you come in and have a drink of tea?" Zhu Lin let him into the house.

He waved his hand quickly, "No, I have something to do with Tao Zi." There was obvious hesitation on his face when he said this.

Zhu Lin's delicate mind immediately caught this point, understood it, and said with a smile: "Then you guys are chatting, the kitchen is still cooking porridge, I'll take a look."

You've already had breakfast, why are you still cooking porridge?
Luo Tao looked confused...

"Hey, you're busy."

When Zhu Lin entered the hospital, Uncle Gao pulled Luo Tao and stood on the right side. Behind the door Zhu Lin had taken the broom and closed it, he whispered: "Taozi, I want to ask you, are there any fresh cucumbers and tomatoes in the field?"

Luo Tao didn't think much about it, he smiled and joked: "Yes, why, Uncle Gao is planning to become a vegetable seller?"

Maybe Luo Tao's words were too harsh, or maybe the cigarette was too strong. Uncle Gao coughed twice in succession.

"If I had had this intention ten years earlier, it's a pity that your uncle Gao and I have already passed the age of impulsiveness.

Isn’t it almost the Chinese New Year?The New Year goods distributed to comrades in the station this year are not ready yet. In previous years, they distributed money. You also know that the second-hand goods station is a yamen that is worse than Qingshui.

After much thought, I decided to make something different this year, to get some vegetables for my comrades... Why not add two more dishes to the New Year's Eve dinner? This is more beneficial than giving out a small amount of money. "

Uncle Gao said this, which didn't make Luo Tao amused. Weird things happen every year, and there are so many this year. I've heard of people giving out toothpaste, toothbrushes, washing powder, and soap as part of the year-end welfare. Today, it's also an eye-opener for me. vegetable.

This idea is absolutely unconstrained. No wonder Uncle Gao can become the webmaster. Luo Tao has no choice but to embark on the path of no return as a second-rate dealer.

Talent!

"There are some fresh vegetables, but I wonder if there are any cucumbers and tomatoes?"

"Ahem, don't worry about the food. As long as it's available, that's fine. I won't choose."

Ho!Why does this sound so awkward? It seems like there is a trap.

Before Luo Tao could answer, he continued: "Well, I want three hundred kilograms the day after tomorrow. Is that no problem?"

Luo Tao thought for a while, then nodded, "You always open your mouth, there is absolutely no problem at all, and I will send someone to the station directly when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I won't bother them with this little thing. Let me know in advance what time they will arrive in town, and I'll have someone pick them up." Ever since Uncle Gao became the webmaster, he has been making all these plans!
Luo Tao understood after saying this.

"Listen to you."

He was also an experienced cook, and he knew that his little trick had been exposed under Luo Tao's nose, so he was not embarrassed at all, "It's best to have more vegetables, it will look good, but you kid, don't weigh three hundred kilograms." Chinese cabbage and radish fooled your Uncle Gao."

"Well, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

"Haha! I'm just saying, don't pay attention.

By the way, this is the deposit, please keep it first. "He took out two fifty coins from his pocket and slapped them in Luo Tao's hand.

After doing this, he also said, "You're welcome, we'll give you more but less compensation."

Luo Tao looked at the two big tickets in his hand in disbelief and thought that the money was quite big. With only 100 yuan, why would he want to buy [-] fresh vegetables in winter?

More refunds and less compensation.

What’s even more outrageous is that I still want to buy cucumbers and tomatoes. Why don’t I go to heaven?

I didn't even go out to inquire about it. Now a pound of cucumbers are sold for about ten yuan. It's still cheap and has no market. It doesn't matter if you have money, you can't buy it even if you want to.

Tomatoes are simply not available in the market today. Before the Laba Festival, they had become a special vegetable and no longer appear in the market.

If it weren't for the relationship between the two families, Luo Tao would definitely throw money in his face.

This person should not think that because he is good, he can get more and more, and he should not be greedy. He really thinks that he will not live if others leave him.

Today, Luo Tao once again saw the evil of human nature. It seems that his previous blind generosity not only did not receive the gratitude he deserved, but instead nourished the greed in his heart.

He smiled but put the two bills back into his hand. He, Luo Tao, was not that poor yet, "Our relationship doesn't require this deposit. You'd better keep the money."

If I see the food the day after tomorrow, it’s not too late to give it to me. "

Because of his connections and his love for him back then, Luo Tao couldn't say anything too harshly to his face even if he didn't do things properly.

Of course, we can’t retreat, we just do whatever we have to do.

"How... can this be done?" What Luo Tao did was beyond his expectation. He paused for a moment. In his original plan, Luo Tao should have received the deposit and then waved the remaining balance. Forget it, no matter how ideal it is, the 100 yuan deposit may be returned intact.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly on the spot and made a pun.

"Just do it like this. Don't do this or that. It's getting late and you still have to go to work. If I tell everyone this good news, I won't invite you to sit in the house."

Luo Tao really didn't want to talk to him anymore. This man would change whenever he wanted.

People who are about to retire, why can't they grit their teeth and persevere? It will be over once they stand firm.

Why, at the end of the day, would you end up with an unsafe outcome?

Seeing that Luo Tao had issued an order to expel guests, he didn't want to shamelessly ask for help from a junior, so he gave a perfunctory smile and said, "Well, if you don't remind me, I will be late again today.

I won’t go in. Take care of your parents and me. "

"Don't worry, I will bring it to you."

"Okay, see you later, man."

After saying that, he walked out of the doorway, walked quickly, put on gloves while walking out, walked down two steps, held the handlebars with both hands, and kicked the foot support bracket away with a donkey kick with his right foot.

"Bang", the entire bicycle moves forward.

"You're busy." He got into the car.

"You walk slowly."

Afterwards, the two of them nodded symbolically and did not speak too much.

The elderly ride their bicycles slowly and steadily. It took more than 2 minutes, and Gao Yuan was so greedy that his figure and his horse disappeared from the east corner of the alley.

"This old guy really treats himself like a latte."

It's bitter and has a milky taste. Who has the time to taste it?

Gao Yuan, who turned out of the depths of flowers, was also not angry, "This grandson has given me a lesson now. If it weren't for me back then, you would be as successful as you are now.

It’s true that people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the world is getting worse. If you have money, you are the master! "

I secretly said in my heart: "Huh, wait, if you don't give me face, then don't blame me for being unfaithful. Let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook. We'll see."

Luo Tao didn't know that Gao Yuan could change his attitude so quickly. If he knew, he would definitely kill him before he retired.

"Ahem, who are you talking about?" Zhu Lin suddenly appeared.

This startled Luo Tao, who was absent-minded, and said in pain mask, "Hey! You want to scare me to death!" He patted his little heart, still in shock.

"Let me see if it scares you." As she said that, her jade hands touched Luo Tao's ears.

"Ahem, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Of course I'm calling your soul." He suppressed a smile and pretended to be fake.

"Go away." He took her hand away and turned around to walk into the courtyard.

"Ahem, I asked him why he provoked you, so I called him an old man." Zhu Lin asked and closed the door.

Luo Tao paused, turned his head, and looked at her doubtfully, feeling that she had listened to all his complaints just now.

He waved her over and whispered something into her ear, "How could this person do this? He loves to take advantage too much."

"Who says it isn't? By the way, if he comes to see me in the future, he will just tell me that I am not here."

"Well, I understand, then do you want to tell our dad about this?"

Luo Tao thought for a moment and whispered: "Don't tell him about this, after all, Gao Yuan is his old friend.

Regarding Gao Yuan, I think our dad knows him better than we do. "

Luo Shaoyi, who is wise and foolish, is indeed more accurate in judging people than Luo Tao, who was a man in his previous life.

As for Gao Yuan's character, he should be clear about it.

From the interactions between the two over the years, it is not difficult to see some clues.
