Chapter 174 Knowing how to live


Ye Fan smiled and said for him: "It's different, right?"

The director glanced in the direction of Chang Guangrong. He was chatting with a few veteran actors and couldn't notice it for a while, so he boldly nodded.

Ye Fan: "In his father's words, he is the least effective person in his family. However, Chang Guangrong's meeting is inseparable from going to the countryside for several years of training."

"Mr. Chang has been to the countryside? No wonder he is different from those who have no roots."

Ye Fan nodded: "He could have come back in a year. But the revolution was not over at that time. His father did not want to be too selfish and arranged a mediocre job for him. He felt that it was not as good as living in the countryside. Life in the countryside is easy for people to calm down. .”

"No wonder Mr. Chang's glib tone also gives people a very down-to-earth and steady sense of contradiction." The director sighed, "It turns out I didn't feel wrong."

Ye Fan didn't mention Chang Guangrong's father, but only mentioned which department his second brother and the lady were in. He then added: "In addition to having three brothers and two sisters, he also has many friends who can help. There is nothing in this drama. Sensitive content will definitely be played on time.”

The director sighed: "It is better to cooperate with Mr. Chang to save worry. By the way, has Mr. Chang ever mentioned that he is interested in this industry?"

"He's too busy." Ye Fan said.

It was a pity for the director, but he suddenly thought that if he needed sportswear for future dramas, he could ask Chang Guangrong to sponsor him. I heard that Chang Guangrong found a lot of sponsors this time, including shoes, drinks, mineral water, instant noodles, etc.

The director always feels like he has recouped his costs.

Seeing Er Bao coming, the director left with a wink and went to greet Chang Guangrong.

Although it was the last scene, it was not the last scene in the play. It was a small scene, so there were not many extras. Ye Fan's car could fit in, so she asked Chu Guangming and a few extras if they wanted to go back in her car.

Chu Guangming waved his hand: "We will play basketball later."

"Then come here first and I'll tell you something." Ye Fan went to the other side of the car while Erbao went to study the cake.

Chu Guangming ran over in large strides, and Ye Fan asked: "Tell me the truth, does your friend, who used to live in the south of my house, make enough money to buy a house?"

Chu Guangming nodded.

"Sixty square meters, two bedrooms and one living room?"

Chu Guangming: "Including what I earned last year, it's almost the same."

Ye Fan: "Let him buy 40 square meters."

"Why?" Chu Guangming didn't understand.

Ye Fan first explained that it was not easy for his parents to raise him so big. Secondly, he is too selfish now, and his brothers and sisters will definitely look on with cold eyes when encountering difficulties when they start a family. Always leave yourself a way out. But in the end, I emphasized that I shouldn’t be too stupid.

Chu Guangming's biological father and mother disappointed him so much that he subconsciously believed that his parents were unreliable, so he supported Fa Xiao and his friends in keeping the money in their own hands.

Ye Fan's words reminded Chu Guangming that people were different from him. Although he still felt that the parents of his childhood friend and his friend were unreliable, he still decided to listen to her: "How much should I give?"

Ye Fan: "Look, I'll give you one thousand. If you still have some money left after buying a house, I'll give you one thousand. If you only have three or four hundred left after deducting living expenses and tuition fees, then I'll give you two hundred."

"I'm afraid that his parents think he doesn't have enough money, or think that they still have money, so they will find an opportunity to borrow it in the future. Even if the elders say that they will pay him back if they have money, they will be embarrassed to ask for it. Just like my grandfather, how can I bear to ask for what he has worked so hard to save? Money. But if I give it this time, if I don’t even borrow it next time, his parents, brothers and sisters will definitely not be happy.” According to his intention, it would be better not to give it in the first place.

This is also a problem. Ye Fan asked: "What if we really have no money? Will he be embarrassed not to borrow it?"

"You must still have money if you ask me to buy it for 40 square meters."

Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said: "Then divide it into three, one for emergency, one for regular use, and one for buying gold - last year the price of gold was 70 or 80, this year it was 50 or 60, you can invest a little. I plan to buy it in a few days Give one piece to Erbao and Dabao, but the invoices and gold should be kept separately to avoid being stolen by thieves.”

"Sooner or later, his parents and brothers will take advantage of him."

Ye Fan heard that he disliked his friend's parents very much: "Guangming, you can't be too clear with your parents. Let's talk about Xiao Ming. If Uncle Zhang had not spent all his savings, how would he be today? How can your friend's parents support him in school? First of all, he should be filial to his parents. Besides, he can also take the opportunity to see the true colors of his parents and siblings. Now that he is not married and his money is given to his parents, there will be no one to argue with him. If this happens after he gets married, the family will have to break up. .”

Chu Guangming suddenly realized: "Seeing it clearly earlier will save them from acting like thieves even if they calculate how much money they made this time. I'm afraid others will find out."

Ye Fan was very pleased: "Yes! So this has pros and cons. Don't be so pessimistic. What if their brothers and parents are grateful to him?"

Chu Guangming shook his head decisively: "It's impossible for the parents of my friend who lives in the same hospital as me. His father must think that a little money is just for begging."

Ye Fan said with a smile: "Then take it back. When you go back on the weekend, buy a piece of meat and a chicken for your family, and treat it as a visiting relative. Anyway, he doesn't rely on his parents now, so he doesn't have to worry about being separated from them, or his parents will not care about him in the future."< br>


"Then I'll talk to them when I get back. The money hasn't been deposited yet, so they don't dare to go to the bank for fear of encountering three gangsters who won't be able to beat them and get robbed of their money."

Ye Fan said: "It's okay, let's go play."

"Aunt Ye, let me thank you on their behalf."

Ye Fan waved his hand nonchalantly, then called Er Bao over and took Er Bao back first.

When he got home, Ye Fan asked Erbao to calm down and go to school in a few days.

Yu Wentao didn't get home until twelve o'clock, and Ye Fan was preparing to steam rice: "Rice or noodles?"

"Just make something, I won't be too hungry after eating the cake."

Yu Wentao cleared out two plots of land in the courtyard. It seemed that the ancestors of the original owner had planted flowers, and now they are growing various vegetables. When Ye Fan heard that she had no appetite, he fried a few eggs, picked a few tomatoes and stir-fried the sauce, then cooked the tomato noodles, and finally sprinkled a handful of green amaranth on top.

The kitchen is hot in summer, and Erbao wants to go to the main room for dinner. As soon as the pot is brought to the main room, Dabao comes back. Ye Fan asks: "Have you eaten?"

"Eat. You haven't eaten yet?" Dabao looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time."

Ye Fan: "I'm not hungry. I wasted a lot of time by doing it slowly. Eat more?"

Dabao smelled tomatoes and wanted to try them, so he went to the kitchen to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and served some noodle soup with eggs and amaranth.

Ye Fan was curious: "Are you so busy just after starting graduate school?"

"Mom, this is the second year." Dabao said helplessly, "Why do you look like dad? You don't even know what grade I am in."

Ye Fan: "Isn't school started yet?"

"Primary and junior high schools haven't started yet, but the third grade of high school has started classes ten days ago. Do you think why?" Dabao asked and answered, "Of course because the classwork is heavy."

Ye Fan asked: "Then you still have time to come back?"

"Donkeys in the production team also have time to rest!" Dabao put down the bowl, "If you keep arguing with me, I'm leaving."

Ye Fan subconsciously asked: "Where to go?"

"Go back to the backyard."

Yu Wentao almost choked, looking like she had run away from home, but she only wanted to go back to the backyard. Yu Wentao said: "You still have to deal with your father."

Erbao suddenly remembered something: "Mom, dad is going home today. You didn't just come back and then leave, right?"

Ye Fan shook his head slightly: "Next time, mid-October will pass, and there will still be more than a month left."

"That's good!" Erbao said, "Otherwise my dad will be bitching when he comes back, hating this and that."

Ye Fan skipped this topic directly: "Where are Huihui and Benben?"

Erbao: "It's at the home of my second uncle and my second mother. They have no time to come over recently from 9 to 5, and they also said they wanted Brother Benben. It happened that the TV series was finished and didn't require guest appearances by Brother Benben and Sister Huihui, so they went."

Ye Fan was surprised: "Really let Ben Ben be the PE teacher?" Erbao nodded: "Brother Ben Ben asked the chief for instructions. The chief said that there were army soldiers who cooperated with film and television performances in the past. However, he did not give Brother Ben Ben a positive face and did not have a name. It’s just that the physical education class of other classes was occupied by teachers from other subjects, and Rongguang Class 8 was in class normally. The other students were particularly envious when they saw it through the window.”

"Chang Guangrong is simply better at making the most of people's talents than I am." Ye Fan was convinced.

Dabao said: "In a TV series, he uses all the connections that can be used. If there is no splash, I'm really sorry that he is such a thief."

Ye Fan couldn't help but smile: "How to talk."

"Be his producer, help him control costs, and don't give me a penny for hard work. Tell me what happened to him?" Dabao snorted, "Just give me money to perform for a day."

Ye Fan was surprised: "So pitiful? Then why don't you want it?"

Dabao said angrily: "You have a share in the company, and I asked him for money. He took the account from the company, leaving his left hand and his right hand. What's the point?"

Ye Fan smiled and said: "You can have it too. Mom will help you sell the couplets and you will get a commission."

Dabao shook his head: "I'm too lazy to argue with him." After a pause, he wanted to complain again: "The dignified young master is better at living than a small citizen. Grandpa Chang really shouldn't ask him to go to the countryside to jump in the queue."

Ye Fan asked smoothly: "Do you think you learned it from rural people?"

"Rural people don't have much money, so they have to be diligent and thrifty to manage their families. He is not like that." Dabao muttered, "Should I learn something? I shouldn't learn it, but I can learn it so well."

Yu Wentao put down the bowl: "Dabao, tell me, young master, first see how much your own shoes and clothes cost."

Dabao nodded: "I admit that I am the eldest young master, so why doesn't he learn from me?"

Seeing that he was still confident, Ye Fan couldn't help but ask: "It sounds like you are very generous. Young Master Geng, can you count how many piggy banks you have?"

Geng Dabao, who could only get in and out, picked up the bowl and drank the last mouthful of noodle soup before leaving. He looked like he was angry, but in fact he was afraid that his mother would hold on to the matter.

In recent years, Erbao has been asking his mother for money when he has no money. If the money is not used up, he will stuff it into the piggy bank. Next time he has no money, he will continue to ask his mother, so she is no less generous than Chang Guangrong.

Erbao didn't dare to say a word. After eating, he took the bowl to the kitchen and went back to the back.

Yu Wentao wanted to laugh when she saw them like this: "Now that you say it, they will not dare to complain about it in the future."

"Dabao is willing to work as a producer for Chang Guangrong because I am part of the company. Since I know that paying him a salary is equivalent to giving him the left hand and the right hand, I still talk so much." Ye Fan also finished eating and put away the bowls and chopsticks, "Originally, I wanted to buy something for Dabao last year. A solid gold peanut. Because the price of gold is too high, I plan to buy it when it drops. It has dropped recently. Let’s go and take a look tomorrow.”

Yu Wentao: "Just buy it for Dabao?"

"How can we miss the second treasure?" Ye Fan laughed, "A golden peanut can only be fifty grams at most. It doesn't cost much to buy two for each of them."

Yu Wentao asked: "Aren't you making molds? The factory building behind you needs to be renovated. Do you still have money?"

Ye Fan: "The money I made in the first quarter was enough to decorate and pay the final payment for the molds. Besides, even if the money I made from selling goods this time could barely cover these two items, the store that I, Jianshe, and Xiao Ming would still make money every month. And Chang Guangrong.”

"What happened to him?"

Ye Fan said: "The business of the garment factory is average during this season, and there will be some dividends after one quarter."

"Yes!" Yu Wentao suddenly remembered that Ye Fan also had a clothing store, "Ginkgo had a rest on Monday a few days ago, so I asked you when you would come back. Do you want to give me an account?"

Ye Fan nodded: "It's possible. If someone bullies her, she should go to the company office to find someone. There are four or five salespeople in the office every day. If there is any shortage, they will contact Zhang Xiaoming. I haven't heard Xiao Ming mention it."

"Then when will you go and have a look?"

Ye Fan: "Let's go after dinner. Go there first, then the office, then the company, and finally the research institute."

Yu Wentao's head was pounding when he heard this: "You are very busy today."

"It's convenient to have a car." Ye Fan said with a smile.

After waking up from his nap, Ye Fan drove a few minutes to the store entrance. It turns out that Yu Ginkgo really has to pay last month's profit to find Ye Fan. It was the dog days of summer before Ye Fan went to the north. Yu Gingxing didn't want to go out because of the heat. She thought that there were a few students among the people traveling with Ye Fan. She would definitely leave early and come back early. It was estimated that Ye Fan should have come back the day before yesterday to finish the chores at home. Just come find Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was not found, and Yu Gingxing did not give the money to her aunt. She believed that one code equals one code.

Ye Fan went in to Ginkgo and gave her the account. Ye Fan first counted the money, then checked the goods, and nodded with satisfaction: "Ginkgo, have you ever thought about opening your own store?"

Yu Gingxing thought about it, but business has been difficult in the past two years. Ye Fan's monthly profit is because she has accumulated many old customers and is used to coming to her store to pick out a few sets of clothes every time the seasons change.

"I don't have that much money. Even if I have money, it will take a year or two to get back the money. Besides, I don't have time."

In July, Ye Fan went north to sell goods, and Yu Ginkgo's husband also went there. Her husband opened a shop near the school, and most of his customers were students. During the school holidays, his business was not good, so he went south with Ye Fan and Wei Jianshe to pick up goods and run orders.

He didn't go this time a few days ago. The two children couldn't stay in the store and wanted to go back to the village. Yu Gingxing was worried that they would go crazy and not go to a good middle school, so she asked her husband to go back to the village to watch.

Yu Gingxing's husband thought that no matter how much he earned, it was only for his children. If their children are ruined, their entire wealth can also be wiped out by them. So children are more important than money.

It was also because her husband didn't go and she didn't know when Ye Fan would come back.

Ye Fan said: "You can rent a shop in the mall."

Yu Gingxing thought about the surrounding situation and the flow of people: "Sister-in-law, are you talking about the big shopping mall over my brother's side? It's too far! The house and store are here, and the two younger ones are still going to school here. It's not worth being separated from them for money. And you can make money at any time. I remember that the oldest person who comes to buy goods from you is over fifty, right?”

Ye Fan: "I am over fifty now."

"That's right. In ten years, they will be old. I want to open a shop, so I close the small shop in front of the school. We will watch it together. We don't have to see each other every night like now."

Ye Fan couldn't help but said: "Everyone is like this. They have to go to work during the day."

Yu Gingxing was used to seeing her husband looking after their children every day. This was the case in every household in the countryside. Even though she had been in the city for several years, she was still not used to the separation between husband and wife.

In the past, I had no choice but to separate because I had no money. Now that she has a shop and a house, she doesn't want the family to break up because we have been separated for a long time: "Let's forget it. Sister-in-law, don't worry. If I plan to go it alone, I will definitely tell you in advance and help you bring out the clerk."

Ye Fan said: "It's not that I'm worried. I just thought of it while we were busy. You're busy, I'll go to the company to have a look."

"You go ahead. I heard that business is very bad recently."

Ye Fan: "Hanka's business is not as good as before. I know this. It's not like my family. My employee said that his classmates said that everyone is about the same."

"Why?"

Ye Fan thought about how to explain: "It's just more advanced than before, no need for Hanka."

"Is it true that tractors used to be hand-cranked, but now they can be started with a key like a car?"

Ye Fan said the same thing: "Hanka is like a hand shaker on a tractor."

"Then I understand. Sister-in-law, go quickly." Yu Gingxing came out to see her off and was surprised to see the car, "Sister-in-law, have you bought a car?"

Ye Fan was more surprised than her: "You don't know?"

"Did you just buy it? I didn't see the car when I went to your house before."

Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh: "I must have been kicked out by Chang Guangrong, a bastard."

Yu Gingxing heard from her husband that Chang Guangrong was filming a TV series in school. Because students needed to buy stationery, Chang Guangrong also went to his own store to shoot scenes. Hearing this, Yu Gingxing smiled and said: "He is getting better and better at doing business." Then he told Ye Fan about the filming, and then asked: "Mr. Chang asked us to prepare more goods. After the TV series is broadcast, many students will definitely go to our store. Sister-in-law, do you think it’s possible?”
