Chapter Seventy-Two: The Aftermath of the Computer
After buying the computer, the family was excited for a few days, and then they began to scuffle - Yang Yang wanted to watch anime on the computer, and Lu Tao was anxious to talk about QQ as soon as he came back, and I was interested in almost all the content on the Internet. www.biquge.info In this way, the three of us often mumbled noisily in order to seize the computer, and several times disturbed the old woman who lived on the opposite door, and kept knocking on my door. In order not to let a family of three fight, in order not to disturb the neighbors, and not to affect Yangyang's study, I wrote an online schedule, which is as follows:
1. General provisions: The computer shall not be turned on for more than three hours in a day, except for weekends and Sundays, and only at night, except for special circumstances.
2. Time arrangement: From 7 to 8 o'clock in the evening, the father will go online and the mother will accompany her son to do his homework.
From 8 to 9 p.m., my son spends time surfing the Internet, and Mom and Dad do housework or watch TV.
From 9 to 10 p.m., mom surfs the internet and dad and son sleep.
3. Penalties: If you do not comply with the above arrangements, you will be disqualified from accessing the Internet.
I wrote down the above arrangement on a piece of manuscript paper, and then solemnly pasted it on the wall side by side with Yangyang's class schedule, not to mention, this trick worked, and the next day our house was quiet, and all three of us could consciously abide by the treaty and not invade each other.
After the Internet was in order, I guided Lu Tao and Yangyang father and son on browsing content, telling them to browse the news first and then watch other content as soon as they turned on the computer, and try not to click on abnormal web pages and links, otherwise they would provoke viruses, and also asked Yangyang to memorize English words online for ten minutes before browsing other content, etc.
What I didn't expect was that the harmony was only temporary, and the troubles were still to come:
My mother-in-law rarely comes to my side, usually we go back to her to see her or eat her cooking, unless she makes something like dumplings, stuffy noodles, jujube cakes, which she is particularly good at and we love to eat, and we happen to be there, she will go out of her way to bring us the food. It's just that the meals sent by my mother-in-law are always the amount of two people, three people can't eat enough, one person eats a little too much, I don't know if she asked Yangyang to eat with me, or let Yangyang eat with his father, I think it must be the latter, probably the meal sent by my mother-in-law didn't have my share. I didn't eat it without my share, but every time our family of three ate the food sent by my mother-in-law, we were a little overwhelmed, and we needed to add another bag of instant noodles to fill our stomachs.
On this day, my mother-in-law sent stuffy noodles again. My mother-in-law entered the house and handed me the stuffy noodles to me as usual and asked me to go to the kitchen to fry them, and after I brought the fried noodles to the table, she sat aside and watched Lu Tao and Yangyang eat. And every time Lu Tao and Yang Yang always ate two-thirds, it means that they really can't eat, and force me to complete this task, at this time, my mother-in-law will get up and say to her son and grandson in an angry tone: "You can't eat such a little food? Who wants to eat the leftovers?"
And Lu Tao, who had a head like wood, always couldn't understand his mother's words, so he replied to his mother like this: "Swift is cute and eats leftovers, usually she eats leftovers between me and Yangyang, especially the food you cook, she loves to eat more." ”
If Lu Tao didn't speak, I would have swept away the half bowl of stuffy noodles they had eaten on the grounds that I didn't want to waste food, but when I heard Lu Tao say this, I couldn't get over my face, so I put down the bowl angrily and said, "I don't want to eat either, I'll feed the puppy downstairs for a while!"
Lu Tao couldn't understand his mother's words, nor did he understand his wife's words, as soon as he heard me say that he was going to feed the stuffy noodles to the puppy, he picked up the half bowl of stuffy noodles all of a sudden, pulled them with chopsticks a few times and ate them into his stomach. Now the mother-in-law was satisfied, and said with a smile of relief: "Is this right, don't leave food in the future, leftovers are a manifestation of uneducated, in the past, large families were not allowed to leave a grain of rice in the bowl, otherwise how could they become a big family, it is because people are educated." ”
After seeing the satisfactory result, my mother-in-law pushed open the door and walked out with confidence, and Lu Tao and I also got up to send her to the door. The show was over when she came here, but the mother-in-law suddenly turned around and said that she had forgotten to take the cloth bag she was carrying the food, and I said I'll find it for you, and the mother-in-law said that she knew it was there, so she went back to the house.
I walked around my house three times and didn't find my mother-in-law's classic handmade cloth bag that had been used for more than ten years, although I wanted to find it and stuff it into my mother-in-law's hand as soon as possible, so that my mother-in-law could go back as soon as possible, because I was still holding back my stomach to complain like Lu Taofa. Mother-in-law also forgot for a moment that she put the cloth pocket there, flipped here, flipped over there, flipped over to the computer desk for a while, before I could react, my mother-in-law had lifted off the embroidery cloth that covered the computer, and saw the high-tech product inside, my mother-in-law stood still all of a sudden, scanned the computer with her eyes, and then asked suspiciously: "Is this a computer?"
"Yes, Swift bought it the other day. Lu Tao said to his mother as if he were suing me.
When my mother-in-law heard this, she immediately turned her head towards me, and her puzzled eyes immediately turned into a blaming gaze, and she said to me, "Why did you buy the computer back? Don't you watch the TV saying that today's children are all infected with the Internet? The computer will destroy the child!"
"The children who are infected with the Internet are because their parents did not discipline them well, not because of the computer, which is actually a learning tool on which you can learn a lot of things. "I defended myself.
"Oh, I don't want to talk about you anymore, you don't listen to me anyway, you can do it yourself, if you don't want Yangyang to be admitted to a university in the future, you can let him play with the computer every day!" The mother-in-law shook her head and walked out of the door in disappointment, not even bothering to look for her cloth bag, as if she had been hit hard.
After seeing my mother-in-law go downstairs, my stomach full of complaints suddenly turned into a sullen breath, and I returned to the bedroom without saying a word and lay on my back on the bed.
"My mother is also reasonable, the computer will indeed affect Yangyang's learning, and I didn't agree with you to buy it at the beginning!" Lu Tao stood beside my bed and continued to count me for his mother.
"Dad, my mother is not angry with this, my mother thinks that you have eaten all the stuffy noodles, let's give my mother the rest of the stuffy noodles, how can you eat them all?" My son Yangyang knows me best, and my sulkness first came from the half bowl of stuffy noodles, but my mother-in-law's accusation against me later made me more depressed.
"Then since you want to eat stuffy noodles, don't say feed the puppy, I thought you really wanted to feed, I haven't eaten enough, so it's the puppy's turn to eat?!"
No matter what Lu Tao said, I didn't want to hear it, I said to him irritably: "Get out, go out, I'm going to sleep!"
"You see that you are always angry at every turn, can't you be gentle?" Lu Tao stood in front of me like a verbose aunt and didn't leave.
"Okay, you go find a gentle woman now, goodbye!" I jumped out of bed, forcibly pushed Lu Tao out, and closed the bedroom door with a "snap".
However, Lu Tao's words were not finished, and he continued to stand outside the bedroom door and shouted at me: "No matter how good it is to you, you don't know!
The next day, the waves stirred up by this computer continued-
It must be that my mother-in-law came home and told my brother-in-law and sister-in-law that I bought a computer, and Yueyue may have heard it, because in the next few days, my brother-in-law and Yueyue came to my house every other day, and the purpose of my brother-in-law is very clear, that is, to play with the computer, and Yueyue will find all kinds of excuses, such as this time to borrow Yangyang's basketball to play, next time to borrow Yangyang's skipping rope to play, next time to borrow Yangyang's skateboard to play, etc., and then always play the computer by the way to go.
My sister-in-law likes to dress up, and she likes to dress up her daughter, she always dresses up Yueyue like a little princess, but she is reluctant to spend money on Yueyue's toys or other aspects, saying that children either buy books, or buy food, or buy clothes, and it is useless to buy those things to play with! I don't want to deprive children of their fun years and replace them with a boring study life, which is of course important, but for children, reading should be fun. You can't be born just to live the second half of your life, right? Or do you have to exchange the hardships of the first half of your life for the blessings of the next half of your life? Can you really get it? I want my children to live every day well, be happy and earn one day at a time. Treat the first half of your life as a bet to win the second half of your life? How risky is it? You may lose it all! Of course, the happiness I mean is not that doing nothing and simply having fun is happiness, and having fun doing nothing will make people feel empty, I mean that everything should be on a normal value, and in life, each part should have a reasonable proportion, and a quality happy life is real happiness.
I've talked a lot more, and now I'm back and continuing to talk about computers.
Every time Yueyue comes to borrow something, she always drags it off, and she always asks Yangyang to turn on the computer for her to play, and sometimes she doesn't go back when she plays, and often stays at my house to eat, and the same is true for my uncle.
In this way, since I bought a computer, not to mention the electricity bill at home, even the white noodles have been consumed quickly, and a bag of white noodles was enough for my family of three to eat for three months, but now it is finished in two months.
If you want to say that eating some white noodles is nothing, according to our current economic ability, white noodles are still completely affordable. But I was thankless, not only did I often hear my mother-in-law's accusations, but my sister-in-law was also dissatisfied with me, and often said to me: "Sister-in-law, what computer do you have nothing to do?" You see, Yueyue's mind is not at home every day, and she is not in the classroom anymore, and she is all attracted by your home computer.
"Then you can control your house Yueyue and let her not come to my house to play on the computer. I said to my sister-in-law angrily.
"How can this work? You can't make Yueyue not recognize who her uncle is because of a computer, right?" The sister-in-law has completely inherited her mother's characteristics, and she is very good at speaking.
"Then let her uncle live in your house, isn't that what you can do?" My ability to slip my mouth was completely learned after I came to my mother-in-law's house.
"My brother lives in my house for a long time, and Yangyang doesn't recognize his father anymore?"
"Yangyang also got it for you!"
"Are you willing to do it?"
In fact, this computer attracted not only the uncle and Yueyue, since the purchase of the computer, Liu Zihao came to my house more often, and then Kai Kai often ran over, Kai Kai ran over, Liu Jia naturally had to follow, originally I didn't want to see Liu Jia, especially annoyed her to talk about business, but now it is a common face, and what makes people even more angry is that as soon as Kai Kai runs to the computer, Liu Jia will say to me: "Swift, you really shouldn't buy this computer, the children have no intention of learning!"
"I declare first, whoever is worried about my family's computer affecting the child's learning will not bring the child to my house!"
It didn't take long for the Internet timetable I posted on the wall to be forgotten, and in less than half a year, the mouse on the computer was broken! )
