In 08, there were basically feature phones on the market, and there were no decent smartphones. But there are many styles: straight, sliding, flip, sideways...... The appearance is varied, too. As for Apple, everyone has never heard of it, and Nokia is the well-deserved king at that time.

Although people also searched for treasures at that time, they were far from permeating all aspects of life as they do today. When I was going to report for duty, I said I had to buy a mobile phone so that I could easily contact me when I was out of town, and there was no reason for that. I just don't understand why I want to buy a mobile phone in a small shopping mall in a small fourth-tier county, instead of waiting for college and then going to a first- or second-tier city to buy it, and it is convenient for later warranty and maintenance. What's even more bizarre is that in that era when sliding covers and flip covers were prevalent, I still had to buy straight plates, because the connections were easy to break. I really admire my brain circuitry at the beginning, do you plan to use a mobile phone for a lifetime?

In the end, I was fooled by the staff at the mall into buying a Tianyu straight touchscreen phone. Of course, it's the kind that can pull out the pen from the side. The staff member with a handful of goatees also boasted that the phone's buttons were lacquered and wouldn't fall off. Who would have thought that Lao Tzu was born with developed sweat glands, and after the long-term corrosion of my hand sweat, after a few months of use, 5 is not 5, and 8 is not 8. Now that I think about it, I just did it in the first place.

Everything is almost packed, the time of reporting is August 23, it's time to think about how to go. Generally, students make trains, and I heard from the senior sisters and brothers who came back that student IDs can be discounted in the future, and many interesting stories happen on the train. However, our small four-tier county town does not have a railway, so we have to go to the next city to take a train, or go to the provincial capital of Hangzhou. I checked on the Internet, I went, the train to Cha Ha Chong was just one way, in the middle of the night, and I had to sit for 31 hours. After discussing with my family, I decided to fly and check the ticket: economy class 1750, up to 6% off. My dad also felt that the 31-hour train ride was too bad for me to go back for the first time, and he decided to go with me. Later, I contacted my classmates in the high school class, and the former lesbian table turned out to be going to school in Chahachong, and she went to the Royal College of Architecture and Engineering. So we flew together from Hangzhou to Chahachong. Now that I think about it, if I had taken the train, I could have saved a Nokia N73.

After getting off the plane, we were picked up by the aunt and sister-in-law at the lesbian table. They drove us to the city and talked about the computers in the school. My sister-in-law suggested that we just collect the computers from the seniors in the school, which is cheap and affordable. At that point, I should listen to my opinion. I thought, electronic products are updated and iterated so quickly, can this computer be used? (Oh my God, why didn't you think that when you bought your phone??? ）

When we arrived in the city, my aunt and my husband took us to eat dumplings and sauce elbows from the Northeast. When a plate of large-sized dishes was served, I thought: Northeast may really be the right choice, and now that I think about it, I still feel that the aftertaste is endless. Later, I went to eat Korean dishes such as cold noodles and miso soup. Maybe it's just gone, and the southern stomach hasn't adapted to the northern cuisine. My dad and I always felt like it was dark food. It wasn't until I graduated and left that I felt the taste of wanting to stop.

The next day, we went to report and took a taxi to the school. When I asked, I found out that the building with the admission letter towering and full of science and technology was the South Campus, and the Faculty of Arts, where I worked, was on the West Campus, which was a newly built campus. I thought to myself, the new one must be better than this one. Under the guidance of the enthusiastic uncle, we came to the West Campus. It must be greeted by enthusiastic student union seniors. After registration, one of the seniors took me to go through the enrollment procedures, and then led the army to train uniforms, school uniforms, buy bedding, and receive keys. Along the way, he introduced me to the school, as well as the offices of our college. At the beginning, I didn't understand, what he said, we listened to it. Later, when I visited the campus, I found out that he said that this college, that college, this library, this classroom, just went around between several buildings, and there was not much space.

I came to the dormitory with my things and found that there were already classmates, his name was Zhao Dabao, and later we all called him Lao Zhao, from Inner Mongolia, Northeast China, and North China, so that later female classmates often asked him if he came on horseback. After a brief self-introduction, Lao Zhao recommended us to the senior who sold daily necessities in the building, so he took us to buy some daily necessities. In order to express our gratitude, we invited Lao Zhao to have lunch in the school cafeteria.

After dinner, I took some money to buy a phone card with Lao Zhao, which was popular at that time in the mobile dynamic zone, and there were many agents on campus. There is no need for real-name registration, choose a good number, give money, and you can make it the next day. As we walked, we were greeted by an enthusiastic senior who recommended a calling card to me, and I didn't know how many calls and texts I could make in college, so I said that I should remember it. The enthusiastic senior listed a string of numbers for me to pick. I don't know if I chose the poison or the enthusiastic senior fooled me, the number I wanted to 440044 turned out to be the most expensive, 200 yuan. Maybe I've been in the ivory tower for a long time, and I don't have any concept of money, so I just paid for it, plugged it in my phone and turned away.

It wasn't until a few days later that Lao Zhao finally couldn't hold it back, he said: "When I saw you spend 200 to buy a mobile phone number, I thought you were really good!" "At first, I didn't understand what it meant, but then I learned that "Da'er" means "powerful" in Northeast dialect, and I felt a little embarrassed. Later, through profound social practice, I finally understood that "Da'er" also means "tiger", which is expressed in tone. I remembered that Lao Zhao's tone at that time should have been......
