Chapter 1: Xiao Tian

Next Chapter

The sky is as blue as seawater, and the midsummer sun seems to be a big fireball, hanging high in the air, ruthlessly evaporating the last trace of coolness brought to people by the sea-like sky.

Looking at the position of the sun, it is estimated to be around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Although it was very hot, the pedestrians on the street did not decrease at all. Because today, it is August 29, 2015, and one more day, that is, the day when students start school in China.

Two days before the start of school, students went crazy to buy, and this peculiar phenomenon has now almost become a unique scenery in China.

Therefore, a few days before the start of school, whether it is a business or a student, no matter what weather or anything happens, it is difficult to change the enthusiasm of merchants and students.

"Welcome!"

The tall and thin teenager, accompanied by the greeting of the welcoming lady, stepped into the store with his feet raised, and the decoration of the store was fresh and refreshing, and there was an endless stream of students and parents shopping.

From beginning to end, the young man did not show any expression, still with an indifferent face, not saying a word. He is not pretending to be cool like other young people, pretending to be high and deep, but really cold, cold to the bones. Especially those cold eyes, often revealing cold light, people dare not force their eyes.

"Miss, I want to buy a computer." The tall and thin boy looked around, then raised his head and whispered.

"Ah, you're a student, I suggest you buy this domestic Lenovo notebook, which is a special student machine, which can meet your needs for study, entertainment, games, movies, and so on. Moreover, the price is moderate, as long as 8888 yuan, you can also get a 9.5% discount with your student ID. ”

Listening to the explanation of the counter salesperson, the tall and thin young man showed an interested expression. However, then, he shook his head helplessly.

Looking at this, the super student machine that just came out this year is more bitter than excited.

More than 8,000 yuan, the tall and thin boy can't afford it!!

This year, 2015, China's GDP reached a staggering $18.8 trillion, second only to the United States' $22 trillion. In such a large economic environment, the living standards of the Chinese people and the rate of improvement are also rising like rockets.

Therefore, more than 95% of the people in Huaxia have reached the level of moderate prosperity. The rest of the people barely had enough to eat. Unfortunately, tall and thin teenagers are in the 5%.

A tall and thin young man, surnamed Xiao Mingtian, has been an orphan for as long as he can remember, making a living by picking up garbage and begging.

Xiao Tian was an orphan who should have received government relief and lived his childhood comfortably. However, God played a joke on him, not big or small. His personal information was lost due to the negligence of government officials. As a result, he was no longer in the government's rescue. If that's all it takes, it can be reissued.

What's even more hateful is that Xiao Tian accidentally offended a fat man in the school, and the fat man's father is in charge of government relief work. Therefore, under multiple coincidences, Xiao Tian was decisively excluded from the list of relief.

That year, Xiao Tian was ten years old.

Ten years old! There is nothing unusual about being ten years old, but for a lonely child, he has to learn to face the cruel reality and learn to be self-reliant.

More precisely, learn to pick up garbage, learn to beg...... Learn to fill your belly!!

Now, Xiao Tian is an adult, eighteen years old.

Eight years of begging and picking up garbage......

For eight years, he endured the ridicule and contempt around him......

Eight years of perseverance and hard work!!

"Miss, I want to buy a desktop machine." Xiao Tian said stiffly. However, it doesn't feel very cool, but it is cold that goes deep into the bone marrow.

"Classmate, is this Lenovo notebook bad? Or maybe you're looking at something else. In fact, nowadays, students rarely buy desktop machines......"

"Yes." Xiao Tian nodded slightly in agreement.

"Classmates, come, take a look here, domestic computers, Lenovo, Acer, Asus...... There are also computers from other countries, Dell, HP, Apple, ......," the salesperson lady enthusiastically introduced.

"Thank you, Miss. I... I still want to buy a desktop computer......" Xiao Tian said with rare shyness, eight years of garbage picking career, he has long been trained to be hard-minded, not moved by the external environment. Now I can show a trace of shyness, which is really smaller than the chance of Mars hitting the earth.

"Okay." The salesman glanced at Xiao Tian in surprise, and secretly wondered, nowadays, who still uses desktops. Although I wondered, I could only keep it in my heart. Still smiling and explaining various styles of computers to Xiao Tian.

"ASUS T550, priced at 5800 yuan, powerful, can support playing all kinds of 3D games......"

"ASUS T802, priced at 8900 yuan ......"

"Lenovo HFR32X, priced at 15,000 yuan......"

"xxxxx, priced at 7300 yuan......"

……

"Classmate, do you have a favorite, which one do you like?" Miss salesman, talked to Xiao Tian endlessly, talked for more than half an hour, seeing that Xiao Tian was unmoved, she couldn't help but be a little angry, but she couldn't lose her temper with the guest, so she could only ask softly.

Xiao Tian was really stunned now, his hand reached into his pocket and touched the only 4,000 yuan, and bitterness welled up in his heart. Think about it, I have been picking up garbage for eight years, saving 4,000 yuan for frugality. This huge amount of money is undoubtedly the pride of Xiao Tian's heart.

However, today, Xiao Tiancai found that the 'huge money' is no longer a huge amount of money, perhaps, it is not even ordinary people's pocket money.

"Miss, well... Can you ......" Xiao Tian opened his dry lips and said hesitantly.

"Classmate, if you have anything to say, just say it. What kind of computer do you want, our Century Electronic Digital Store is definitely the most complete, if we don't have it in this century, I believe that the whole South City does not have ......"

The salesman's words, Xiao Tian absolutely agreed.

Xiao Tian doesn't pay attention to other things in order to live, but he is still very clear about the famous Century Electronics Digital. In fact, Xiao Tian does not need to understand, the surrounding classmates, whenever they talk about electronic and digital products, will mention the century without surprise.

"Miss, are there any cheap ones?" Xiao Tian hesitated and hesitated, but thinking about what happened to him, he didn't care about losing face one more time, in the past eight years, did he care?

"Preferably, it is no more than 3,000 yuan."

At this time, the saleswoman was even more surprised. However, she never showed contempt or looked down on him, because she was only a person who worked for a week, and she had not yet contracted some bad habits in society.

Perhaps, Xiao Tian is a lucky and kind saleswoman today, and that puzzled look is already the greatest reward for him, because he retains his last trace of dignity.

In order to repay this young salesman, Xiao Tian squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, but because he hadn't laughed for a long time, his facial muscles were stiff, and he had forgotten how to laugh......

"Okay, classmate. Let's take a look at this machine, ASUS BM5320, as long as 2600 yuan, we only have this one left in the store, and this kind of computer has been discontinued for three years. If you want to buy it, you can get a 10% discount. ”

"Okay, that's it." Xiao Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be calm.

For Xiao Tian, this ASUS BM5230, which seems to be an antique, is enough for him. He doesn't play games, he doesn't watch movies, and his only requirement is to be able to go to Baidu.

In today's highly developed science and technology, just find a classic machine, which can also meet Xiao Tian's requirements that are not requirements.

Xiao Tian paid decisively, declined the salesman's kind delivery service, hugged the computer, and walked excitedly towards his cabin.

An outdated desktop computer may not be worth mentioning to others, but Xiao Tian, a poor little beggar, can have such a machine, which is undoubtedly an eye-opener for God.

At the beginning of school, Xiao Tian is about to enter his third year of high school. Now, the nine-year compulsory education has long been turned into a twelve-year compulsory education. Therefore, Xiao Tian can study with peace of mind in school.

After finishing his third year of high school, Xiao Tian wanted to go to college again, so he had to pay out of his own pocket. In order to realize his college dream, in addition to working hard to earn money, Xiao Tian can only study hard, strive to be the top student in Jiangnan Province, and get the opportunity to go to college for free.

Therefore, Xiao Tian gritted his teeth, spent all his savings for eight years, and bought a classic machine, so that he could query the college entrance examination information, absorb more and more comprehensive knowledge on the Internet, and prepare himself for the college entrance examination.

There is no way, the college entrance examination materials are hundreds of yuan each, which is not something that Xiao Tian can afford. So, you can only find some on the Internet and then copy them with a pen......

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the business hall of Huaxia Telecom.

"Auntie, I want to open a home network service."

"Ah, young man, is it moving, unfortunately the staff who maintain the network is not there, you wait, I'll call to urge."

"Okay." Xiao Tian listened to the salesman's words, and felt very uncomfortable. Nowadays, home networking has become ubiquitous and almost as indispensable as electric lights. How can there be such an existence as Xiao Tian......

After a busy afternoon, and finally got everything done, Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Thinking about it, Xiao Tian felt that everything was worth it. Looking at the computer on the desk, Xiao Tian smiled with relief. Although others will not think that he is laughing.

"Wait, Jinghua University! I'll go! Xiao Tian clenched his fists and pressed his determination.

Time passed in a hurry, Xiao Tian was pondering, and the hut was quiet.

"Well, I wonder how it works?" Xiao Tian is not sure, in general, it is more than one grade different from the products circulating in the market today. "No matter what, can't you even check the information? I don't do anything else. Thinking about it this way, I finally settled down.

Following the steps in the manual, Xiao Tian installed all the equipment and connected the power supply.

Xiao Tian excitedly pressed the power button, only to feel his whole body tremble, then he lost consciousness and fell straight to the ground......
