The person outside the door is not the tall and thin man, but Lao Ao downstairs.
Lao Ao, whose real name is unknown, introduced himself as a chicken farmer, so Fang Ze sometimes called him Farm Manager Ao.
Lao Nao looks like he is under thirty years old, but his daily life is like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties. Apart from occasionally visiting his chicken farm, he just squats at home and raises fish. Watering the flowers makes me feel more at home than Fang Ze every day.
However, Lao Ao has a good relationship with Fang Ze. When Fang Ze first moved in, Lao Ao helped Fang Ze a lot, so occasionally Lao Ao asked Fang Ze to help him change the water in the fish bathtub, and Fang Ze would also take it. Take half a day to go over and help.
Fang Ze opened the door, but before he could speak, Lao Ao grabbed Fang Ze eagerly, "Hurry, go down and help me change the water in the bathtub, I accidentally scalded the fish."
Lao Ao was anxious. Fang Ze looked at his watch. There were still three hours before Hannibal left. There shouldn't be any problems during these hours. Lao Ao lived downstairs from Fang Ze and locked the door himself. Instead, It will be safer than staying in your room by yourself.
The important thing is that after being alone at home for five days, apart from Fang Cheng coming once, Fang Ze spent most of the time chatting with perverts like Hannibal, so it was time to change his mood.
So Fang Ze asked Lao Ao to wait, then locked the door of Hannibal's bedroom with the key, then locked the door of the house, and then followed Lao Ao out.
"You make it seem like there's a beautiful woman hiding inside." Lao Ao complained as he walked, "It's safe here. Look at Xiaoyan upstairs opposite. She wears something cool and thin every day. It's eleven or two. The dots are still hanging around outside, so there’s nothing wrong with them.”
Well, Fang Ze looked at the manager who was mumbling nonsense like a veteran cadre, and thought to himself, I'm not worried that the neighborhood is unsafe, but that my home is unsafe.
Walking downstairs, Lao Ao's house happened to be opposite Xiao Hei's house. To be more precise, it should be opposite Xiao Hei's living room. There was no one like Xiao Hei who could live in three houses by himself.
Opening the door, Fang Ze and Lao Ao walked in.
If Lao Ao's usual speech only has a hint of an old cadre, then his home is purely an old cadre's home. Various things that feel like things from the previous era are neatly placed in the room, but they are quite individual. of.
For example, there is a very comfortable wicker chair in the corner of the living room. Several times when Fang Ze brought the big cat over, one person and one cat would sit on the wicker chair and sway around.
The bathtub where Lao Ao raises fish is in the bathroom. He specially converted this large bathroom into a place for raising fish.
Well, there was no typo before. Lao Nao really kept fish in the bathtub, and it was the kind of big bathtub that a man and a woman could enter at the same time to unlock special positions.
Lao Ao's own explanation for raising fish in the bathtub is that a better fish tank is too expensive, so he might as well use a bathtub instead to raise fish. As for taking a bath, there is a bathroom heater in the other bathroom, which is much more convenient than washing in the bathtub. .
The density of fish in the bathtub is not very high, there are only more than 20 fish in total, but there are quite a lot of varieties. Lao Ao introduced to Fang Ze that there are black dragon, gilt, crane top red, ingot lion, three-color Thai lion, Red national lion, short tail and five-flowered Longjing.
However, in Fang Ze's eyes, these fish can all be classified into the same category, that is, inedible fish.
That's right, in the eyes of ordinary people like Fang Ze, there are only two kinds of fish, one is edible and the other is inedible. Let alone Fang Ze, every time the big cat comes, he has no idea about the fish inside. He was so interested that he didn’t even take a glance at it, but it was probably because Da Meow was a timid cat who was particularly afraid of water.
Above the bathtub is a transparent and large plastic storage box. There are two holes on the side of the storage box, one is used as a water outlet and the other is used as an overflow outlet, and then the water outlet pipe and the overflow pipe are connected.
The storage box has two layers. The bottom of the box is filled with five-millimeter holes, and a rectangular opening is dug on the side. Glass cups are placed on the bottom and the upper layer. There are three layers of cotton filters on the glass cup.
In this way, the storage box actually turned into a device for filtering water. Fang Ze was amazed by Lao Nao's skill at first. He thought to himself that he was indeed a veteran cadre. He had so much free time, even if Fang Ze was After making it, just washing the filter cotton every day can drive him crazy.
"It's this red national lion." Lao Ao pointed to the goldfish kept alone in a small box and said, "I was confused for a moment. When I took it out, I put it in hot water and ended up scalding it. .”
Fang Ze glanced at the motionless red national lion, which was a little white on the surface, and suggested that Lao Ao Zai wash it twice with water and sprinkle some seasoning on it before eating, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The main reason is that he is afraid that Lao Nao, a veteran cadre, will nag him.
"I'm old, I'm old." Lao Ao shook his head and said, "I would never make such a mistake like before."
Fang Ze and Lao Ao fished out the water from the bathtub while asking Lao Ao. "Lao Nao, how old are you this year?"
"It's almost thirty years since the new year passed." Lao Ao shook his head and sighed, "It's just a few more years to live."
Lao Nao's words almost made Fang Ze vomit blood, so Fang Ze directly joked, "Brother, even if you die now, you will die young. You will have a long life in just a few years."
"You don't know." Lao Ao looked at the fish caught in the basin with his vicissitudes of eyes and said, "This person must speak ironically from time to time. This is the highest secret of health preservation."
"Then according to what you say, the oldest person in China from now on, bah, the longest-lived old man must be a guy named Huang Xudong."
"Who is Huang Xudong?" Lao Nao turned around and asked Fang Ze.
"A game commentary." Fang Ze replied casually.
"What is a game commentary? Someone who explains the game?"
"Yeah, almost."
"A game needs commentary?" Lao Nao was confused and said, "When I was a kid, I played all kinds of games by myself. It would be boring if someone revealed all the hidden Easter eggs."
Fang Ze knew that Lao Ao had confused e-sports game commentators with those who made commentary videos, but he didn't have the energy to explain clearly to Lao Ao, a veteran cadre, so he just followed Lao Ao's words.
"At that time, there were fewer games and players had more energy. They could concentrate on conquering a game. But now in the fast food era, people don't have that much energy to play a game several times, so they need explanations and introductions."
Fang Ze started joking with Lao Ao as he spoke, "Veteran cadre, no, Lao Ao, you see you have nothing to do all day long, why not you also become a game commentator, using your magnetic voice of a veteran cadre and With a serious attitude, introducing previous games to everyone is just a matter of course, and it is worse than raising fish and chickens."
