Chapter 3: The Old Town
Wei Ting followed the path of her memory home...... Since time has gone backwards, the home should also be in the same place.
People come and go around her, but Wei Ting feels that she is lonely, as if she is walking alone in the wilderness...... And at this moment, although there are people and cars around and high-rise buildings, it seems that she is not in a parallel space.
"It would be nice to have a computer with Internet access now, at least through some ......news," Wei Ting shook her head with a sense of amusement.
In this era, computers have not yet entered ordinary people's homes in a big way, and even most companies and factories have not purchased computers, and the Internet is a luxury...... As far as she knew, it was not until 1995 that the Internet was used openly and gradually appeared in front of ordinary people.
'Drop! ’
At this moment, a long whistle suddenly rang in her ears.
Wei Ting was stunned, she had heard this voice countless times, and she couldn't be more familiar with it...... This is the sound of the computer when it is turned on.
"Sound capture, input into the database...... Wi-Fi Connection...... Binding complete! An apparently computer-synthesized voice rang in her head, revealing a light screen in front of her that of her laptop's display, which was the familiar Windows XP screen.
This is...... The computer also crossed?
Wei Ting was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted...... If this light screen is seen by the people next to you, don't you think you are an alien monster?
"This is a virtual light screen generated by a biological computer, which is actually a picture that appears in your mind, which others cannot see, and when you are operating, you can control it with your voice or with your mind in your mind. Please give the unit a name. The synthesized voice sounded again, and although it was a little dissonant, it was audible.
Naming ...... Let's call it Zero. ”
As soon as Wei Ting heard the name, her head began to swell...... It all started with Jane, "Zero, can you get online?" ”
"Yes. As long as there is an internet connection within a radius of 50 meters, wireless Internet access is available. ”
"What about printing?"
"If you have a computer and a printer, a photocopier or a fax machine, a scanner, you can do the task."
Yes!
Wei Ting almost jumped up, and being reborn was not only one more chance, but also brought benefits...... It's not just a benefit, it's a cheat!
"Whew! Why don't you look at this girl in the aisle? A sudden sound like metal grinding startled Wei Ting, and a newspaper fell to the ground in front of her.
"Uncle, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”
Wei Ting looked up and saw the angry little old man standing in front of her, and hurriedly showed a 'I'm sorry' smile, and then bent down to pick up the newspaper ...... "The Mayor's Council Implements Crackdown on Corrupt Elements", and a line of eye-catching bold characters came into view.
Corruption...... Well...... That's right!
Wei Ting suddenly recalled what she had thought of about Yue Chenguang before!
Fifteen years later, when she was abroad, she saw a report on the Internet: "Yue Chenguang, a rising star in the political arena, has fallen: It is reported that Yue Chenguang has been in politics for less than ten years and has become a high-profile news figure...... However, this new star, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, has not managed his feelings well, and the pure love established since his student days cannot withstand the pollution of time and money. His wife has repeatedly accepted bribes and solicited bribes, amounting to more than 4,800 yuan, and it is alleged that he was instructed by Yue. Yue was inexplicably sad and indignant, unable to prove himself, and committed suicide to prove his innocence.
It was also learned that Yue's wife had confessed, and the so-called 'instigated by Yue' was purely fabricated......
The sunny and handsome boy just now gradually merged with the online photo in her memory, and Wei Ting suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart...... Since we are fortunate to be able to start over, does it indicate that some things will go on a different trajectory...... Wei Ting, who was a little excited, didn't even notice that the little old man grabbed the newspaper angrily and brushed his sleeves away.
Life is like a long river that is endless, the stones that come to fall in different positions will cause different ripples, Wei Ting feels that she is like the stone thrown by the hand of fate, she knows where her landing point will be, but she is not sure what kind of ripples will be aroused.
The trajectory of fate will become unpredictable at this moment......
***
Although the city in front of her looks very old, it is unusually kind, and although the memories just now made her feel a little heavy, the joy of going back in time still made her feel very excited. With the development of the economy and trade, the government has strengthened propaganda and vigorously improved the environment, and it has been fruitful, and many places have carried out large-scale green flowers, which have been advertised in the newspapers as 'garden cities'...... It's just that for ordinary residents, it is still a fog to see flowers, and the distance is too far, and there is no tangible feeling. And Wei Ting's home is in an old-fashioned community, the house was bought in the eighties, and in Wei Ting's memory, her mother lived here until her death.
In my impression, when my father just went to the sea to do hotel business from the agency, he made a lot of money, and bought this two-bedroom house at that time, I don't know how many relatives and friends envy me, but five years ago, the third uncle, who was the head of the purchasing department at the time, purchased a batch of problematic goods, which not only brought significant economic losses to the hotel, but also was fined a large amount of money by the industrial and commercial department, and the hotel was also ordered to close down.
My father was defeated by fire, and spent a lot of money on medical expenses, and the hotel had to go out, and borrowed a lot of foreign debts...... What's ridiculous is that the biggest creditor of their family turned out to be her third uncle, and that store was later taken down by the third uncle.
In order to pay off the debt, and in order to provide for Wei Ting to go to school, his father changed from a boss to a part-time worker, and became a chef in the third uncle's shop, the salary is not high, and the various tastes are indescribable, as for overtime or something, it is even more commonplace. And after her father died in a car accident, her mother was seriously ill, and the family was even worse, otherwise she would not have used her marriage as a price to marry a rich second generation who she didn't like and had constant peachy news.
Wei Ting clearly remembers that after her father's car accident, due to the escape of the driver who caused the accident, the family was in debt, and her mother went to ask the third uncle to borrow money, but the third uncle was drunk with the guests, and the aunt pushed back and forth, and finally withdrew 10,000 yuan from her grandmother, but when she came to the hospital, her father had died...... Of course, there is no way to undo the past, but since her life has been started all over again, she will never let regrets happen again.
