The fat man confirmed his identity with me, and the other party said that his surname was Jiang and his name was Jiang Nian.
The fat man pointed to the old community not far away and said, “The place where I live is, I live alone. The landlord of two bedrooms and one living room offers a price of 800 yuan, and the small room is not big, so I rented it for 300 yuan per month.”
I said in confusion: “Brother Jiang, you are panting, why are you not here to live?”
Jiang Nian smiled and said, “I have to work too. I just came to you without lunch break.”
I had no doubts and followed Jiang Nian to the place where I lived.
It was a dilapidated old apartment building, with shops on the lower floor.
From the elderly chess and card rooms to the convenience store, there are foot massages and barber shops.
It is worth mentioning that when Jiang Nian passed by the foot wash shop, the woman in exposed clothes at the door seemed to know Jiang Nian. He said hello to tell Jiang Nian to remember to come to see her in the evening, and Jiang Nian just smiled and pointed her head.
The whole building has six floors in total, and Jiang Nian said we live in 402.
I don’t know when the stairs I went up were built. They were not as big as my feet. It felt a little uncomfortable to step on them, but Jiang Nian was obviously used to walking.
I, who had not stood firm, subconsciously grabbed the iron railing beside me, and a crisp sound came out.
I pressed a small hole in the rusty and corrosive iron railing, and black metal rust covered my hands.
Jiang Nian saw it and helped me and said, “It’s normal to rust here, just don’t touch it.”
Follow Jiang Nian to the fourth floor, and Jiang Nian explained while walking.
It is said that there are eight households living on the first floor here, and the first and eight on the first and last floors will be a little larger than the others. Then No. 3 will be half smaller than the others, because the toilets on each floor are on No. 3.
