Chapter 80: Letter from Father
Finish sending the clothes.
Wang Qiang felt the need to talk to his mother and ask her how she was doing.
There was no telephone in the nearby shop, Wang Qiang could only exchange some coins, he looked around the street, only to find that there was a phone booth near the street, when he walked over, a woman in her thirties was on the phone, Wang Qiang stood not far away waiting.
Now it's really inconvenient to make a phone call, either to find a small shop or the like, not necessarily a phone, or to find a phone booth like a "lantern" in front of you.
"The phone is calling, hang up. The woman hurriedly spoke, put the microphone back on the shelf, and turned to leave.
Generally speaking, this coin-operated public phone will beep in the last few seconds to prompt a coin insertion, and if it is not inserted, it will be automatically cut off.
Seeing that the phone was empty, Wang Qiang ran forward and stuffed a coin into it, and then dialed the phone number of the village committee.
It took several beeps to connect.
"Hey?" was the voice of village secretary Wang Yuefen.
Wang Qiang hurriedly said: "Aunt Yuefen, I am Wang Baoguo's son Qiangzi, can you help me call my mother?"
Wang Yuefen was surprised: "You haven't come back in Shanghai yet?"
"Well, I'll be back in two days. Wang Qiang replied.
Wang Yuefen asked, "What happened to call your mother this time?"
Wang Qiang sweated, the secretary seemed to be very idle today, he replied honestly: "I bought some clothes for my mother from Shanghai and sent them back, and I will talk to her." ”
"Yo, you're very filial, I'll call her in twenty minutes. ”
Hung up the phone.
Wang Qiang looked at the time on his watch, ten o'clock, he waited quietly next to the phone booth.
During this period, two old men came to call, and he stood a little farther away, after all, it is immoral to listen to other people's calls.
Minutes and seconds passed.
After seeing the watch time at half past ten, Wang Qiang made a coin call again, and the phone was connected as soon as it rang.
"Hadron?"
"Oh, Mom, it's me. ”
"Are you still in Shanghai, when will you come back?"
"Keep it back before the start of school, by the way, I bought some clothes for you and your grandparents and sent them back, it is estimated that they will arrive the day after tomorrow, I will tell you, the infrared condom is grandma's......" Wang Qiang carefully said what color clothes were whose clothes belonged to, and when he was halfway through the conversation, there was a beep on the phone, and he quickly put a coin into it.
The mother complained: "What kind of money do you spend on this child, just buy it for your grandparents and grandparents, I have clothes, why buy them for me?"
What kind of clothes do you have?
Except for the outfit for visiting relatives and friends, you basically patch each piece of clothing.
Wang Qiang knew that she was reluctant to make money, so he deliberately joked: "Your son has made a lot of money outside, and buying two pieces of clothes is nothing, and when you talk about clothes in the future, I will buy you a car." ”
"Hehe, I can't drive a car, there was really a time when your dad went to learn to drive, last time Chengyu and her dad bought a motorcycle, your dad was red for a while. "Mother is in a good mood," Speaking of your father, he sent a letter back two days ago. ”
Cheng Yu was Wang Qiang's good childhood partner, but after the fourth grade, she transferred to Shanghai to go to school, the most speechless thing is that later because of household registration, Cheng Yu could only transfer back to Haitong to study in junior high school again, for which he was two years later than his peers, and now Wang Qiang has been admitted to high school, she is only bitter haha first to second junior high school.
After this information instinctively popped up in his mind, Wang Qiang asked his father what he said, and his mother told him that his father said in the letter that it was good at the construction site, and asked how the family was, and it was nothing, just some words about the length of the family.
Even so, he still felt warm in his heart after listening to it, and then asked his father's current address, Wang Qiang wanted to send a letter to his father back in the next two days.
After chatting about my father, my mother said, "I received an urgent letter from Shenzhen just now, it's yours, the sender seems to be a person named Fang Yueqing, isn't it a woman?"
Wang Qiang said: "Female, a friend I met on the train." ”
"Oh. The mother didn't express an opinion, but said, "Are you talking about the object?" It's not that my mother said you, you are still young, there is no need to worry now, like there was a person named Jiang two days ago...... Yes, Jiang Lijuan's girl also came to you at home, saying that she went to school, so that you can go back and play with her. ”
Sweat.
Why did you still find my home?
Forget it, just don't know.
He wasn't ready to reply to Fang Yueqing, let alone go to Jiang Lijuan to play, he had his own goals and life plans, Wang Qiang knew that everyone would meet different people along the way, and if he didn't know the future, he might collide with a little spark, but unfortunately he knew very well what he was going to do in the future, so he didn't care much about this kind of thing.
After chatting with his mother for a while, Wang Qiang was about to hang up the phone.
In the process of hanging up the phone, he vaguely heard Aunt Yuefen talking to her mother.
"Cheng Lin, your son is good enough, and I will buy you clothes and ......" clicked and hung up on the opposite side.
Wang Qiang smiled and shook his head, according to his understanding of his mother's personality, he might talk to Aunt Yuefen about how much he was interested in for a while, and when he returned to send his clothes to his home, his mother might even show off with the neighbors.
Quite normal, this is one of the expressions of pride that parents have for their children.
It's just that he thinks that he may have to grind his tongue when he goes home, and the neighbors will definitely ask questions, where did you get the money to buy clothes for your mother, what are you doing in Shanghai, etc.
Either way, it's good that my mother is happy.
……
Back to the game room.
It was 10:45 a.m.
Wang Qiang just pushed the door in, and saw two strange young people sitting in front of the first TV in the row on the left, playing "Tank Wars", "Tank Wars" is a very interesting FC game, or the props in it are more interesting, for example, the five-star logo can enhance the tank's firepower after eating, if you eat three in a row, you can destroy reinforced concrete blocks, and there is a stopwatch, and the full-screen enemy will stand still for a few seconds after eating, etc.
It's just that he was a little surprised, looked at Lao Zhu, and said, "Brother Zhu, business has come to the door?"
Lao Zhu was drinking tea, and said with a happy expression: "Well, they touched it themselves." ”
Wang Qiang walked to the counter, pulled a stool and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's a good start, the business may be almost at the beginning, but as long as someone comes to play, I will definitely bring friends when I turn around, and our side will prosper." ”
"I know you don't have to comfort me. Old Zhu said with a hippie smile: "Your brother Zhu and I are old, will you still be unable to hold your breath?"
As he was talking, Zhu Xiaofeng, who was sitting in front of the TV playing games, suddenly shouted, "Uncle Wang, come and do me a favor." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Wang Qiang as he walked over.
Zhu Xiaofeng wondered: "After I was driven out of Xuzhou City by Cao Cao, I don't know how to leave. ”
ran over to take a look, and on the screen, Liu Bei and Chen Deng, two villains, were at the ferry, and there was no boat.
As soon as he saw the situation, Wang Qiang immediately knew what was going on, and commanded: "You go back to Xuzhou City first, go up, there is a cave, go inside and get the map, and then go out of the cave and go up, see the small house and go in, talk to the old man inside, and get the letter and you can take a boat to other places." ”
"Ahh Zhu Xiaofeng manipulated the character according to the handle.
Suddenly, the young man in black clothes sitting next to him turned his head sideways and said, "What kind of game is this?" Just now he and his friends were concentrating on playing games, and they didn't pay attention to what type of game Zhu Xiaofeng was playing, until they heard the conversation with Wang Qiang, and they found that Zhu Xiaofeng seemed to be playing a game that was different from them.
Wang Qiang explained casually: "Devouring Heaven and Earth", an intelligence card, is of a passing nature. ”
The young man in black said to the young man on his left side: "Abin, that game seems to be quite fun." ”
Many people who play red and white machines have never played intelligence cards, which may be related to the high price of intelligence cards. Nowadays, ordinary cards are expensive, generally sold for 80 to 100 items, while intelligence cards are even more expensive, about 15 years.
Even if in a few years, the intelligence card is still an expensive symbol, for example, around 2000, the ordinary card only costs eight to ten yuan a box, but the intelligence card is still thirty or forty, so it is normal for the young man in black clothes not to know.
The young man who was called Abin was itchy and said, "Yes." He looked back at Lao Zhu, "Boss, do you still have an intelligence card?"
Lao Zhu pointed at Wang Qiang, "You ask him, he is the big boss, I don't understand much." ”
The two young men looked over with a little surprise, as if they were a little surprised that Wang Qiang, who was about the same age as them, turned out to be the owner of this game room, and at the same time asked what intelligence card he had in his eyes.
"Yes, there are also several intelligence cards for "Heavy Loader" and "Dragon Quest". Wang Qiang casually introduced: "It's just that, playing the intelligence card is more expensive, three yuan an hour." ”
The young man in black was puzzled: "Three yuan?
Wang Qiang explained: "The intelligence card can only be played by one person, and the progress can be saved, we also need money to buy batteries, you wait, I'll show it to you." He ran to the counter and took a game card from Heavy Loader, broke the box open, revealing the game card inside, and pointed to the button battery on it, "Oh, that's it." ”
Ah Bin said with interest: "Play with me first, Xiaolin, you can open a game console and play by yourself." ”
Xiao Lin said with a blank eye: "I also want to play the intelligence card, boss, you recommend one." ”
Wang Qiang didn't bother to think about it, he casually touched a box of game cards from the counter, and at a glance it was "Eight Treasures and Pearls", and suddenly couldn't help but mourn for the young man in black for a minute, this game, officially called "The Legend of the Eight Dogs", is not generally difficult, but so difficult that it wants people to pull out their hair, for example, there is no vision at all in a cave, yes, there is no vision at all, you can only rely on memory to grope, not only is it difficult, it is simply perverted!
But Wang Qiang, who was in a hurry to get the takeaway walkman, didn't have time to think about anything at all, handed over the game card and said nonsense: "Well, this game is very fun, but it's a little difficult." ”
Xiao Lin pretended to force: "It's not difficult, I won't play yet." ”
Wang Qiang was amused, and said in his heart that you won't scold me later.
After recommending the game, he borrowed a motorcycle from Lao Zhu, went downstairs with the key, and prepared to go back to the hotel to get the Walkman to go outside, and strive to sell out the Walkman as soon as possible, today is the twenty-fifth, and there are still six days.
