Chapter 28 Computers
As soon as Su Shihua returned to the house, Gu Yulan was still closing the door of the outhouse with the curtain open, and Hongli asked anxiously: "Mom, you say, can the interview be successful the day after tomorrow?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "Yes." ”
Hongli asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "Because it was introduced by Dr. Su's classmates. ”
Hongli thought to herself: "It seems that my mother not only believes in Dr. Su, but also in his classmates, and she has never been like this to people before." ”
The mother and daughter went into the back room. Hongli said, "Mom, it's good that I can go to work." ”
Gu Yulan said: "Yes." As long as you have a serious job, your mother will naturally have less heart disease. ”
Hongli asked, "Mom, what will I wear when I interview the day after tomorrow?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "What are you wearing?" Can't you just wear what you're wearing now? ”
Hongli said: "Mom, my down jacket is not a famous brand, it is still old, and the shoes have long been deformed, swollen, and I wear this...... Interviews are different from at home, and the first thing people see is what you're wearing. ”
Gu Yulan said: "I know. ”
Hongli said: "I have good clothes as big as me, just ...... me"
Gu Yulan said: "You should dress better when you go to the interview, it's just our family's situation...... Don't worry, it's the 27th today, and in more than ten days, Mom will buy it for you next month. ”
Hongli said: "More than ten days...... The problem is that the interview will be conducted the day after tomorrow, and where can I buy it after more than ten days! ”
Seeing that Gu Yulan didn't speak, Hongli paused and continued: "Mom, I am about the same height as Xiaoqian and Caixia, so I will borrow clothes from them for a few days." ”
Gu Yulan shook her head and said, "No." ”
Hongli said, "Why not? I just borrowed clothes from them, and I didn't have anything else to do with them. ”
Gu Yulan said: "Good clothes are to lift people, but we can't use borrowed clothes to dress ourselves." ”
Hongli said: "Mom, how big is it that I wear it for a few days?" Others don't know. ”
Gu Yulan glanced at her daughter, Hongli stuck out her tongue, knowing that she must have been careless, and let the words "What a big deal" slip out of her mouth, making her mother unhappy.
Gu Yulan first added coal to the stove, and then said: "As long as there is no fault in doing things, it is the same whether others know it or not." ”
Hongli said: "Mom, don't you always tell me to prioritize things!" Now that work is heavy, and interviews are urgent, why can't you be flexible? ”
Gu Yulan said: "The reason why it can't be flexible is that this matter doesn't need to be flexible. ”
Hongli asked: "What if I don't dress well during the interview?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "No...... The company uses people, how can it only value clothes? ”
Hongli said, "Mom, you don't understand this. What are the clothes? Clothes are people. ”
Gu Yulan asked, "Who said this?" How can clothes be human? ”
Hongli said: "I used to talk to ...... When I went out with Xiao Qian Caixia, no matter where I went, there were people who offered courtesy to them, and they were much colder to me. Why? The reason is that I don't dress well. Originally, it was only eight points, but if you wear it, it can be increased to 10 points. On the contrary, even if you have a good look, you have to reduce it to eight points if you don't dress well. The reason why people nowadays wear heavy clothes and buy famous brands is that they recognize this principle. ”
Gu Yulan said: "If it's because you're not dressed as well, you won't need it, so don't go to such a place, let's find it again." ”
Hearing Gu Yulan say this, Hongli was naturally unhappy in her heart. It's just that although she secretly complained that her mother was too rigid and didn't understand the world, she didn't dare to say it.
When she was about to go to bed, Hongli said, "Mom, if I don't wake up when you get up tomorrow morning, you call me." ”
Gu Yulan said: "Tomorrow is Sunday, so you don't have to get up so early. ”
Hongli said, "If you don't get up early, I can't do it, I have to go to Dr. Su's house." ”
Gu Yulan had already taken off her cotton pants and was sitting in the quilt to take off her cotton jacket, and when she heard Hongli say this, she stopped the cotton jacket that had just taken off one sleeve and asked, "What are you doing at Dr. Su's house?" ”
Hongli said: "Learn computers." ”
Gu Yulan asked, "Why did you remember to go to Dr. Su's house?" ”
Hongli said: "You don't want me to be with Xiaoqian and Caixia, and you won't let me go to the Internet café, where will I go if I don't go to Dr. Su's house?" ”
Gu Yulan asked, "Have you already made an appointment with Dr. Su?" ”
Hongli said, "Yes." ”
Gu Yulan asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Hongli said, "I'll be at his house at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”
Gu Yulan complained, "Why didn't you tell me before Dr. Su left? ”
Hongli said, "What do you say? As soon as you enter the back room, he will take his leave and leave, and he will not have time! ”
Gu Yulan thought to herself: "Hongli will have an interview the day after tomorrow, and it is really necessary to touch the computer tomorrow, but ...... It's not appropriate to go to Dr. Su's house. ”
Seeing that Gu Yulan was sitting still for a long time without saying a word, Hongli couldn't help but ask: "Mom, don't you always urge me to learn more things, why don't you seem to be happy when I go to Dr. Su's house?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "Of course it's good that you can study, but it's not good to go to Dr. Su's house." ”
Hongli asked, "Why?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su is busy, so you shouldn't disturb him. ”
Hongli said, "Mom, what's the matter?" Or...... I'm not going tomorrow? ”
Gu Yulan shook her head lightly and said, "Don't go...... If you had said it earlier, while Dr. Su hadn't left, Mom would have told him that you wouldn't go. But he's gone, and you can't break your word. ”
Hearing her mother say this, Hongli couldn't help but snicker in her heart. It turned out that the reason why she dared to say just now: "Or...... I won't go tomorrow", using the method of retreating as advancing, and she had already expected it.
The next morning, Hongli got up almost at the same time as her mother. When Gu Yulan started to light the fire, Hongli first folded the futon and stacked it on the lid of the small cabinet, and then went down to the ground to wash and began to dress up.
When she finished eating and leaving, she looked at her feet and said, "Mom, look at these shoes, why do you go out?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "The shoes are old. However, in addition to walking, it is a car, and it is not too cold for your feet. ”
Hongli said: "I'm not afraid of freezing my feet, it's that it's not good-looking." I'll go to the interview tomorrow, and if people don't use it because I don't dress well, don't blame me. ”
Gu Yulan said: "No...... Don't look for it anymore. ”
Although Hongli was half unhappy on her face, she was very dissatisfied with her mother's words.
Coming out of the house, in the courtyard, Gu Yulan instructed: "Pay attention to politeness in front of Dr. Su, don't say anything like at home." ”
Hongli said: "Can't I talk less? ”
Gu Yulan said: "Practice for a while, and come back at noon." ”
Hongli said: "I know you are afraid that I will eat at someone's house." ”
Gu Yulan said: "The road is slippery, be careful not to fall." ”
Hongli said, "Mom, why do you always have so many worries? It's cold outside, let's get inside! ”
Seeing her daughter turn into the alley, Gu Yulan closed the courtyard door.
Although Hongli had never been to the Su family, when Gu Yulan told the story of going to the Su family a few days ago, he already knew the address of the Su family, and when he was about to go out, he asked the Su family's house number in detail, so without a little delay, he rang the doorbell of the Su family downstairs before 8 o'clock.
When she went up to the second floor, she saw Su Shihua waiting with the door ajar, and Hongli said, "Dr. Su, hello!" I'm not late, am I? ”
Su Shihua said: "Not only is it not too late, it's still early. Come in! ”
Hongli entered the house, and the door closed behind him.
Su Shihua asked: "I arrived so early, what time did I leave home?" ”
Hongli said, "Sixty forty." ”
As he spoke, he took off his gloves and put them in the pockets of his down jacket.
Su Shihua said: "Take off the down jacket first, so as not to prick it in from the cold." ’’
Hongli didn't speak, first pushed the hat of the down jacket back of her head, and then unzipped the front and took off the down jacket. Su Shihua reached out and took the down jacket and entered the cloakroom. By the time he came out of the cloakroom, Hongli had already taken off her snowshoes and put them on slippers.
When he came to the living room, Su Shihua stretched out his hand and said, "You sit." It's cold, and you must have frozen on the road. ”
Hongli said: "I'm not cold, I'm still ...... It's still hot! ”
Indeed, her face was smeared with a layer of red, and even fine sweat came out of her forehead.
Su Shihua said: "Then rest first and eat some fruit." ”
Only then did Hongli see that there were bananas, apples, oranges and lychees in the fruit bowl on the coffee table.
Hongli said, "I...... I'm not thirsty. Dr. Su, I'm so troublesome to you, if you are polite, I won't be able to come. ”
Su Shihua said: "Okay, you're welcome. You are casual, don't be inhibited. ”
Hongli said, "Dr. Su, I'll start studying now, okay?" ”
Su Shihua said, "Okay, let's go to the study!" ”
Coming out of the living room, Su Shihua went into the bathroom and took out a new towel and handed it to Hongli, saying, "Don't be cold, wipe it quickly!" ”
Hongli said, "No, it'll be fine in a while." ”
Seeing that the towel was in front of him, he reached out and caught it, wiping the sweat on his forehead and the droplets of water from his hair that had been turned into hoarfrost.
Hongli really doesn't know much about computers, and she is not even familiar with booting. Su Shihua taught for more than an hour, and she was basically able to operate.
Su Shihua left Hongli in the study to practice, and he went to the living room, where he was busy with his own business.
Hongli came to the living room at about eleven to say goodbye to Su Shihua.
Su Shihua asked: "Are you familiar with the operation?" ”
Hongli said: "It's much better than the original." ”
Su Shihua asked, "What about typing?" ”
Hongli said: "I just practiced typing. ”
Su Shihua asked, "Do you have anything to do when you go home?" ”
Hongli said, "No." ”
Su Shihua asked, "Then why are you in a hurry?" ”
Hongli stumbled for a long time before saying, "Yes...... It's my mother, she's afraid I'll eat at your house. ”
Su Shihua smiled and said, "There is an idiom called waste food because of choking, and you are learning because of food." ”
Hongli said, "My mother, she...... She ......"
Su Shihua said: "It's so cold, it's better to learn a little longer." When I went back and told your mother, I said I didn't let you go. ”
Hongli was reluctant to leave early, but when she heard Su Shihua say this, she naturally happily stayed.
As soon as Hongli turned around and wanted to go back to the study, Su Shihua stopped her again and asked, "Hongli, are you hungry?" ”
Hongli said, "I'm not hungry. ”
Su Shihua said, "Let's go, go downstairs to eat." ”
Hongli said, "Dr. Su, I'...... Go ahead, I'm not hungry. ”
Su Shihua said: "Not hungry? After a busy morning, why don't you be hungry? ”
Hongli said, "When I'm hungry, I can just eat a loaf of bread." ”
Su Shihua said: "Learning requires both mental and physical strength, and it is not enough to only eat bread." Let's go, I have something to ask you for help with after dinner! ”
