The ass for a long time and tensely rummaged through the wallet, so that no one noticed a pack of large bills.

In modern society, frankly speaking, it is not accepted to speak directly. greedy human. Most often they say “thrift”, “economical”, “the ability to be prudent”. So as not to offend the interlocutor. After all, a mortal sin is practically a sin.

But greedy people do exist. This can manifest itself in completely different ways: someone is greedy in the circle of the family, someone can not cope with themselves when it comes to spending for themselves. And someone will not share an extra penny with an employee. It may be just a character trait, but one way or another it is present in almost all of us.

About greed, Ilya was not the person you associate with the hero of a typical Russian TV series about rural life. The young man had never seen a live cow and had no regrets about it. Life in the capital, work first as a programmer and then as a boss, good connections, beautiful girls.



No, he didn’t start everything from scratch, coming to his dream on the sheer transcendence. His parents had good leadership positions in the collapsed Union, gave the guy an excellent education and a good financial start. He never needed anything, nor ironically did he understand the need or the need to save.

And yet Ilya was a stump. His $300 shoes were simply shining with wealth, but the thought of giving a homeless man a pair of coins made Ilyusha feel the worst. He collected bonus points at gas stations, just to save on gasoline for his excessively expensive foreign car this year. That's how he was.

Here you go. Another passenger called with a claim that he would leave him, because he, you see, forgot about such an important deadline! Six months in a relationship. And he didn’t forget, he just didn’t want to buy flowers, a gift, wander into a restaurant, and all in order to get only a white-toothed smile and a languid look from under his glasses in return. That doesn't make sense.



In the apartment with not the newest renovation, Ilya and his girlfriend had a difficult conversation. She leaves him, because a well-groomed girl needs courtship. And he can go to the nearest library or supermarket and get acquainted there with some "romantic squirrel, which is enough to walk by the hand in the square and a cake with cabbage."

At the end of the quarrel, heavy artillery was used, and a gift set flew to Ilya, which he also gave. The plates were beautiful, porcelain. Brought from the last trip. But the girl was not interested, shouting “found a cook!” another device from the destroyed set flew into the man, but did not get, and flew out through the window.

Someone shouted in a very high voice. Ilya looked down and saw a girl sitting on the fifth point rubbing her head. I think there's a red spot on my nose.

- I hear you. Okay, from now on, we're all on our own. In the evening, I'll either come by or send a man to take my things.

- It's just a couple of dirty T-shirts and that stupid plush panda! Why do I even need this dust collector!

- Yeah, I know. Don't go anywhere tonight.



With a quick step, Ilya came down. There was still a girl sitting and looking around confusedly. Apparently, she didn't even understand what had happened.

- What house are you from?

- Right there, next door. Who are you? We didn’t see something falling from the roof.

Ilya picked up a light, almost weightless girl and tried to shake off her clothes. Why do you want to shake off some slack? Looks like these things are from some second-hand or something. "So much the better." I'll take her home, give her 100 rubles, and the situation will be exhausted. I'm sorry about the baby. But they are constantly filling themselves with bumps.”

Ilya thought as follows: the girl’s parents will see the blood, call the police. They will come out on his ex, and she will not miss a chance to take revenge: she will blame all the blame on Major, and there the court is not far off. It is better to be safe and get rid of small losses. Well, at least that sick one didn't get a plate in the car. What a beautiful set. And dear.



There was only one woman in the apartment. The girl's mom. The tired woman, apparently, is the same age as Elijah. Salted hair, an extinct and at the same time frightened look. After listening to the guest, the woman simply nodded and looked at the guest. All right, then, it's okay. Her father beat her harder when he lived here.

It was strange to think that three people once lived in this apartment. One tiny room, wooden, boardwalk floor. Furniture thirty years ago and the same wallpaper. In short, it was painful for a successful boss to see that. Especially since he encountered such an interior for the first time.

- What's your name, girl?

- Ksyusha. And you?

- All right. (He has already addressed the woman.) I hope the conflict is over. (Long and strained began to rummage through his wallet, so that God forbid someone saw his bundle of large bills.) Here's some green and candy.



The rest of the day the man was thinking. Distracted only rare customer calls and messages with advertising on the phone. By 8 p.m., Ilya turned on the TV, there was a show about China and pandas. Remembering something, he reached for the phone.

- Hello, Valera, hello. Do you remember taking me to Irochka last week? Yeah. Did you forget the area? Good. There's an assignment for you. Look for an apartment in those parts. Two-bedroom, renovated. For rent, yeah. For a year. No, I'd rather have two. What? None of your business. And buy groceries. Lots. To keep the fridge full: meat, cheese, cereal, all that. And some candy. No, no alcohol. All right? When will it be ready? Well, this morning. Let's go there together. All right, good night.



The man looked around: a good apartment, equipment for the last squeak, everything you need for a comfortable life of a confident person. In the future, the opportunity to move out of town, private houses are now in price, it is a pity that the cost of materials is growing every day. Heh, and the Internet complain that buckwheat has risen in price, I would have your problems.

“Oh, God be with them, with those T-shirts!” She was stretching them anyway. Why did I just buy this panda? No more stupid spending. We have to think about the future.
