Chapter 18 A Sad Story(1/2)

Zhou Shen opened the bag and looked at it with great emotion. Inside was the San Yunfei he wanted.

Pigeons, turtledoves, sparrows.

And they all looked very lively, obviously they had just been captured not long ago.

The dogwood meat hadn't arrived home yet, so there was no rush for the moment and he took San Yunfei to the utility room at the back.

There was a grass cage inside where grandma used to raise chickens. He covered the screen with mesh and put all San Yunfei inside.

After closing the door and coming out, the phone upstairs rang.

When he went upstairs, he saw that the Apple he purchased from 11por had arrived home.

He bought it on Jingdong and had it delivered to his door.

Hang up the phone after clarifying the address with the courier.

I said something to my grandma, and then walked slowly towards the intersection east of Xiaozhou Village.

Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something. When practicing Daoyin, he often needed to view diagrams and annotations, but the screen of his laptop was too small, so he needed to buy a larger TV.

If you say buy it, buy it.

Considering that Jingdong would deliver it to your door, I still bought it from Jingdong.

I didn’t hesitate much and just chose Xiaomi TV, the full-screen 75pro 4k ultra-high definition.

Ordered two units for a total of 9,000 yuan.

It feels quite cheap.

One for himself and one for his grandma.

The TV in my grandma’s room was a Changhong TV from many years ago. It was only 42 inches, not to mention small, and the picture quality was not as clear as today’s high-definition TVs.

"Now that I have bought a TV, let's go out and upgrade the network. The current speed is too slow, only 100m. Upgrade it to 500m, and then open an Internet TV for grandma!"

Zhou Shen thought to himself.

In addition to the TV, I also bought a futon.

Although you can practice while sitting on the bed, sitting on a futon is obviously more ritualistic.

When we arrived at the intersection, Jingdong Express also arrived and inspected the goods face to face. After there were no problems, Zhou Shen quickly signed for them.

Then I asked the courier, where are you going now?

The courier said he was going back to the county, so Zhou Shen asked the courier to take him to the telecommunications business department in the town. The courier had to pass by the telecommunications business office anyway.

The courier readily agreed.

"I just bought two TVs from Jingdong, will you give them to me later?"

"Of course..."

We chatted all the way to the telecommunications business office in town, which was not closed yet.

Nowadays, telecom business offices in towns and villages are all privately contracted, and now that number portability has begun, competition with China Mobile and China Unicom is very fierce, and they are all competing for customers, so the service is good and the price is quite low.

"220 yuan per month and 70 yuan in return means that you only need to pay 150 yuan to enjoy 500m fiber optic network speed, three phone cards, 1000 minutes of calls per month, 60g of universal data, and free

Gigabit router and TV modem.”

"Okay, just as you said."

Under the enthusiastic promotion of the sales office lady, Zhou Shen applied for the set meal.

During the process, the eldest sister asked him to pay attention to the company's WeChat signal, so Zhou Shen scanned the QR code to add it.

Fang Wei’s signal name is her real name: Dai Hongyan.

Zhou Shen said casually: "I have a high school classmate named Dai Hongxia, do you know her? She is also from our town."

Dai Hongyan smiled and said: "My sister's name is Dai Hongxia."

Zhou Shen was surprised and said: "Really? She was admitted to Nanjing Normal University."

Dai Hongyan nodded and said, "Yes! She now teaches English at Fuqian Primary School in the county."

Zhou Shen: "...What a coincidence."

Later in the chat, he learned that the girl he had a crush on when he first fell in love was now married and had children. She not only had a successful career, but also had a happy family.

A sad story.



It was already twelve o'clock when I got home.

After lunch, grandma was busy washing the pots and pans.

Zhou Shen said: "Grandma, please sit down first, I bought you a new mobile phone."

As he said that, he took out the mobile phone case.

The little old lady looked at it and complained as expected: "What kind of mobile phone should I buy? Grandma's mobile phone is good and not broken. It's a waste of money! Where did you buy it? Return it immediately, grandma doesn't want it."

"Oh, grandma..."

Zhou Shen stepped forward and hugged his grandma's neck, acting coquettishly.

The little old lady was quickly defeated by his gentle offensive and raised her hands in surrender.

But when Zhou Shen opened the box and took out the brand new Apple 11por, the little old lady immediately recognized it and said, "This is an Apple 11, right? It's very expensive. How much did it cost?"

She sells vegetables on the street every day and interacts with so many people every day. How could she not recognize her? Do we really think she is a fool?

Zhou Shen didn't expect that the little old lady actually recognized it, so he could only continue to use rogue methods to deal with her, "Oh, don't worry about how much you bought it, just use it. If you don't want it, I won't eat the food you cook in the future."

."

As he spoke, he put down his cell phone, hugged the little old lady's neck and shook her again.

"Okay, okay... stop shaking me, my mother-in-law has been shaken unconscious by you."

After Zhou Shen let go of his hand, the little old lady naturally complained sweetly again, but finally accepted the phone.

Then Zhou Shen started to install the card, turn on the computer, set up, and transfer data.

After finishing it, I started to take the trouble to teach grandma how to use the mobile phone.

There are some differences in operation between Android and iOS systems, so people who are just starting to use it may not be used to it.

Zhou Shen took the trouble to teach his grandma.

After all, the little old lady is in her 70s. She has been working all year round, so her hands have rough skin and her fingers are thick. When using electronic and digital products, she is not as flexible as young people and looks "clumsy".

The little old lady was so embarrassed that she said, "Grandma is so stupid. Go ahead and do some work. Grandma will study it by herself in the evening."

"It's okay, grandma. I'm not in a hurry. Nothing is natural! And this system is different from your mobile phone. You will be a little uncomfortable at first."

Zhou Shen constantly calmed the little old lady's emotions, and at the same time taught her how to use various functions in a leisurely manner.

A passage I once read comes to mind.

Why are children excused for defecating in their pants, but old people are often blamed?

Because their parents are gone.



After Zhou Shen took the trouble to teach for more than half an hour, it didn't end until grandma was able to use it skillfully.

Then Zhou Shen went upstairs to take a lunch break.

The little old lady went to wash the pots and pans in a happy mood.

The mobile phone is not important. What is important is that her grandson is willing to spend time and energy with her, making her feel that her grandson's pain is not in vain.

After washing the pots and pans, several old ladies from the same village made an appointment to go for a walk.

A group of people came to the area where the five-guarantee households live in the west.

In addition to a bunch of old men chatting in the sun, there are also many old ladies gathered here to chat and chat.

When the elderly chat together, it is nothing more than the parents' petty gossip and talking about their children's life and work.

Praise your children for their filial piety, making others envious.

If the children are disobedient, they also complain and let others comfort and enlighten them.

In the past, Grandma Zhou Shen played the role of a listener. Her son, daughter-in-law, and wife have all passed away. Although her grandson is obedient and sensible, he is in poor health now and is recuperating at home, so there is nothing worth talking about.

While they were chatting, suddenly the phone in her pocket rang.

Apple's classic old-school phone ringtone.

The phone rang for a while. After being reminded by the person next to her, Grandma Zhou Shen realized that it was her phone ringing.

The ringtone of the senior phone she had been using was "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond", and she was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of ringtone.

I took out my phone and saw that it was a relative from my parents' side.

After calling to ask about something, Grandma Zhou Shen chatted with the person for a few words and then hung up the phone.
