Miao Xiaoxi has locked herself in her room for a week, and in the past week, she has hardly left the computer except to go to the toilet and take care of personal hygiene.

In order to make a name for herself in the national program competition, she must make sure that her work is in the best possible condition. What she sent to Rebirth Technology before was just a core program that solved the problem of information explosion in Pinyin whole sentence input method.

She hopes that if she can be shortlisted, she will at least bring a relatively complete work in the past.

"Brook, huh? Why are you still here, a dead girl, didn't you want to dress up? ”

Miao Xiaoxi's mother pushed open the bedroom door and saw that she was still wearing only a small suspender, and couldn't help frowning.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Miao Xiaoxi turned her head from the computer, her eyes were covered with two dark circles, and her hair was messed up like a chicken nest.

"Didn't I tell you that Xiao Shou was going to come to the house for dinner today and meet you again?"

"Huh?" Miao Xiaoxi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Didn't you say to give me a month?" Why don't you keep your word! ”

"Why didn't I keep my word?" Miao Xiaoxi's mother pinched her waist and said angrily: "Let you go to find a job, look at you, what kind of job can you find in front of that broken computer all day long?" My promise is that if you find a job, you won't let you go on a blind date, and if you can't find it, you have to obediently go to meet someone for me, do you hear! ”

"Okay, okay." Miao Xiaoxi shrunk her neck, she was most afraid of her mother's roar since she was a child, so she had to respond hard.

"Dress me up today, and scare people away again. I'm really going to throw your computer away! Miao Xiaoxi's mother said fiercely.

Miao Xiaoxi looked back at the program that had been written and was about to finish, and sighed. I had to save it first, and then dragged my tired body into the bathroom.

Grooming and dressing up is not as troublesome for her as other women. After a bath, his hair was dried and then tied into a ponytail with a rubber band. And there is no arduous construction task on the face, rubbing a little friendship cream is already a good makeup. Finally, I put on a lake blue dress, which turned out to be a bit of a natural beauty.

Miao Xiaoxi just cleaned up so simply, and it turned out that the ugly duckling-like otaku girl turned out to be a "goddess".

Not long after she was ready, there was a knock on the door of the Miao family from outside. Miao's mother shouted in the kitchen, urging Miao Xiaoxi to open the door.

A stocky man who looks to be in his twenties. Wearing a suit that was obviously a little on the small side, he nodded and walked in from outside the door. When he saw Miao Xiaoxi, who was dressed up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoxi, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be more beautiful!" ”

Miao Xiaoxi smiled reluctantly, turned sideways and let him in. Miao's mother, who was wearing an apron, was coming out of the kitchen at this time, and hurriedly took a bunch of various gifts from the visitor, and said with smiling eyes: "Oops." Xiaoshou, you can come here, why do you buy so many things? Come on, come on, sit down. ”

"Auntie, don't be busy, let Xiaoxi sit. I'm not tired! The man called Xiaoshou smiled innocently, peeked at Miao Xiaoxi, and said a little reservedly.

"All sit, all sit. Xiaoxi, why are you stunned? Come and talk to your little brother. I still have to go to the kitchen to cook! ”

Miao's mother pressed Miao Xiaoxi to Xiaoshou's side, and went back to the kitchen step by step.

Listen to the sound of cooking in the kitchen. Xiao Shou said with a smile that he was speechless: "What has Sister Xiaoxi been doing lately? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I seem to be a little thinner than last time......"

"I'm writing an input method program that can be used to input Chinese characters on a computer." Miao Xiaoxi's tone was stiff, and he stared at Xiao Shou and said straight to the point: "Brother Shou, let me tell you the truth, we can't do it at all." ”

Xiao Shou's face turned white, and he smiled dryly: "Sister Xiaoxi, if you think I'm wrong, can't I change it if you say it?" ”

"We are not a kind of people, what do you say?" Miao Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "Brother Shou, you are a good person, but we are really not suitable." If you're really good for me, can you stop pestering me? ”

"Not a kind of person? I'm a good person, and you're a good person, so why aren't you a kind of person? Xiao Shou hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaoxi, from the first time I saw you, I knew that I liked you." As long as you say what you are not happy with me, I don't believe that I can't do it! ”

"Well, let me ask you-"

Miao Xiaoxi said coldly: "What are the parts of the computer, and what is the CPU?" How many instruction sets are different? ”

"This ......" Xiao Shou opened his mouth, he came out to work at the age of nineteen after studying in a technical school, and in the past few years, he has been bent on making money and making a living, where have you paid attention to any computer knowledge? Miao Xiaoxi's question, even if he wants to talk nonsense, he doesn't have any concept.

"Brother Shou, do you have a dream?" Miao Xiaoxi sighed deeply, she didn't hate this Xiaoshou so much - in the end, she just didn't have a good impression of him.

"Dreams? My dream is to be able to be with you, Sister Creek! ”

"Heh, but my dream is not to get married and have children."

Miao Xiaoxi's eyes seemed to lose focus, and he looked at the void in front of him and said: "My dream is to one day be able to be an enviable software engineer in a big city like the Magic Capital and the Imperial Capital, in the office of a high-rise building." My dream is to write software that can be used by thousands of people and create an unparalleled fortune ......."

"You know what? Even if we are barely together, one day, I will still leave you to chase my dreams. ”

"Isn't it just a computer? I can't now, but I can learn! Xiao Shou said very seriously: "Sister Xiaoxi, your dream is great, but I am not an obstacle to your dream!" Your current living conditions may not support you to pursue your dreams, right? Although I don't earn much, it's still enough for two people. Wouldn't it be nice if I could support you in pursuing your dreams and provide you with a more stable living condition? ”

Miao Xiaoxi seemed to be a little moved by what he said, and looked at him for a long time without speaking. Xiao Shou thought that his words worked, and waited for her to agree with joy.

However, this day seemed destined to disappoint him, Miao Xiaoxi finally shook his head and said, "Brother Shou, I hope to find someone who has a common language with me, but unfortunately you are not." ”

After Miao Xiaoxi finished speaking, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

In this era, it is not easy to install a telephone, and many people's phones at home are even covered with a cloth cover, and the treatment is basically similar to that of scientific instruments and equipment.

The Miao family's telephone treatment was a little worse, but it also occupied a small coffee table alone, like a statue of a fairy.

Miao Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment when the phone rang, and then walked quickly to the phone and picked up the phone.

"Hey, hello."

"Uh, hello, is this Miao Xiaoxi's house?"

At this time, the phone did not have a caller ID function, and if the person on the phone did not report their home, the person answering the phone would not be able to know who was calling. But when Miao Xiaoxi heard this short sentence, her heart even beat twice.

No need to ask, this must be a call from Xiucheng. Because since she became a full-time housemaid of the old clan, Miao Xiaoxi has not received a call from a person other than her parents to find her in the past three years.

"Yes, I'm Miao Xiaoxi!" Miao Xiaoxi said nervously.

"Hello Miao Xiaoxi, I am a staff member of Rebirth Technology. We have previously received your application to participate in the program competition, and after review, we would like to inform you that you have been shortlisted for the competition-"

"Great!" Miao Xiaoxi didn't hold back her excitement after all, and screamed out with a fierce fist.

"Huh." The person on the phone seemed to be infected by her excitement, and his tone was much lighter: "Please be sure to arrive in Xiucheng before January 10, 1998, and we will take care of all your travel expenses, accommodation, living and other expenses." If you are not convenient to go on the road alone, we can also provide full cost reimbursement for one more person, and Rebirth Technology welcomes you! ”

"Thank you, thank you, I'll be there on time!"

Miao Xiaoxi hung up the phone, and the whole person seemed to be refreshed. She ran back to her room and rummaged through things for a long time, before she ran out in Xiaoshou's surprised gaze.

"Dead girl, let you accompany Xiaoshou, what are you doing here?" Miao's mother finally heard the movement outside from the kitchen, and ran out just in time to see Miao Xiaoxi open the door, and one foot had already stepped outside.

"Mom, I'm going to look for a job in another place, and I'll call you to report your safety when I get to the place in a few days!"

Miao Xiaoxi was afraid that she would be caught by her mother, so she shouted, and disappeared into the corridor without looking back. Miao's mother wore an apron and carried a spatula, and when she ran a few steps to the door, she was already gone.

"This stinky girl!"

It happened so quickly that Miao Mu didn't realize what was really going on.

"Auntie, Sister Xiaoxi, this ......" Xiao Shou hurriedly rushed over and asked cautiously. He inexplicably had a premonition, it seemed that Miao Xiaoxi was leaving, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to return to Jinghai.

"Hey, I'll go find her, Xiaoshou, don't worry!" Miao's mother stomped her feet, shoved the spatula into his hand, and chased him out with great strides.

Xiao Shou looked at the suddenly empty house, so he had to sit back in the living room. He placed the spatula on the coffee table, looked left and right, and suddenly found a book from under the coffee table.

He sat back on the sofa quietly with the book, and just gently opened the book and read it carefully from the beginning.

On the cover of that book, there are seven big characters of "Fundamentals of Computer Applications". (To be continued......)
