05 Technology, mobile phones, banknotes
A lesson for chess nerds lasted two and a half hours.
In today's many impetuous training classes, this is often considered a very conscientious one.
Although, the length of a lesson for chess nerds seems a little long for students who have just come to learn chess today. But the lessons of chess nerds don't feel long at all.
Some people are born to be teachers, and this sentence is just right to describe chess nerds.
She is always able to mobilize the emotions of each student between words.
The little thirty-two chess pieces seemed to have been given imaginary wings when she opened and closed her mouth.
These little chess pieces seem to have life as she picks them up and puts them down.
These strange lifeforms, in the eyes of these innocent and splendid children, seem to have turned into the same scenery they like in the end.
Just like Dongdong feels like his favorite elephant, every student is inadvertently inserted with imaginary wings because of this, and inadvertently chooses his favorite chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him.
It took them a long time to find their favorite chess pieces, and at the same time they found their favorite chess pieces, they began to be interested in the sport of chess.
The chess nerd quietly watched them find their favorite pieces, and she gently divided them into groups of two for free practice, encouraging them to try and win with their favorite pieces.
As an assistant coach, Yang Zheng is also obsessed with the explanation of chess nerds, and it is the first time that he admires a person.
He was a little annoyed, if he had turned back the clock 20 years ago, if he could meet a teacher like a chess nerd who was willing to give children imagination, he might have a bright future.
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
Even if there is a regret pill, maybe the person who takes it will have more regrets in the future.
That's it, it's good.
Looking at the eager smiles on the faces of the students, Yang Zheng couldn't help but shake off the strange emotions just now, wandering among the smiling children and the chessboard, he explained the rules of chess with his heart, and he also wanted these children to make these children, after many years, not have any regrets because of this morning.
……
At half past eleven, with a goodbye teacher, the chess nerd also ended all her lessons for the day.
The afternoon class was given by Wang Fugui.
It was from half past three to six o'clock in the evening, and the long four hours of free time at noon made Yang Zheng a little at a loss.
Where was he going to spend the long four hours?
He raised his head and looked at the chess nerd who was in a hurry to leave with his bag, and he subconsciously asked her what she planned for the afternoon.
But I didn't expect the answer I got to go to a commercial performance.
Looking at the chess nerd's calm reply, Yang Zheng felt a little surprised.
It seems that the chess nerd should have taken over a lot of commercial performances. It's just that a professional chess player doesn't seem to be an idol star, what kind of commercial performance can he take?
He subconsciously asked the chess nerd again, and he said, can I go too?
The chess nerd looked at him and nodded.
Then he ran out of the chess room in a hurry.
Looks like she's probably going to be late.
……
"It's so convenient." The chess nerd sat in the online taxi and looked out the window at the scenery thrown away by the private car, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at her like this, she probably didn't expect that now she only needs a mobile phone to hail a taxi in a short time.
Looking at her like this, she shouldn't have noticed that the world is changing all the time.
"Why don't you use a smartphone?" Yang Zheng remembered the old man's machine she took out when she took a taxi, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because I don't like the technology." The chess nerd said a little unnaturally.
"But now I can't do anything without my smartphone." Yang Zheng didn't hear the unnaturalness in her tone, he took out his mobile phone and unconsciously promoted the dazzling apps on his smartphone like a salesman.
"You see, this is mobile payment, and now you don't have to carry cash when you go out."
"You see, this is online shopping software, with it, you will buy clothes a lot cheaper than in a physical store."
"And this takeaway software, if you are too lazy to cook at home, just click it, and the takeaway guy will deliver the hot meal to your home within half an hour."
"That's right, yes, and this one I gave you a taxi, as long as you use him, there will be an online car-hailing car within five minutes at the earliest."
Yang Zheng pointed to the dazzling app on his mobile phone, as if he was like the company employee behind the app, trying his best to promote his own products with the word "free".
It's a pity, no matter how much he sells.
The chess nerd next to him didn't even have the desire to look at the phone screen.
The chess nerd took out a bottle of torn mineral water from his bag, took a sip and said, "But I like the feeling of a wallet full of banknotes and coins." ”
"I also don't like to buy clothes online, I prefer to try them on one by one and then buy my favorite one."
"My favorite thing is to cook by myself, and I don't like to eat takeout."
"As for the final trip..."The chess nerd stopped looking at the scenery outside the window, and she said with a wry smile: "It seems that it is a lot more convenient." ”
"I said yes." Yang Zheng looked at the wry smile on the corner of the chess nerd's mouth, he seemed to see that the product he had worked so hard to promote was finally recognized by the customer, and the corner of his mouth also showed a smug smile.
But before his smile could last, the driver in front of him, who had been listening quietly to them, said, "I'm actually the same as this lady, and I don't like these high-tech." ”
In the rearview mirror, the driver looked at the mobile phone navigation on the car air conditioner with a tired face and said: "Although it seems that everything is inseparable from technology and smartphones now, but because of these technologies and smartphones, I feel that the pace of my life is getting faster and faster, and people are getting more and more tired, and the most important thing is that I feel that I am becoming more and more dissatisfied." ”
"Just like the shortest route provided by the navigation automatic, isn't it also the same as those avenues in the end? Technology and mobile phones have made everyone accustomed to shortcuts and convenience. But it also seems to make people forget what it is like to have an ordinary life without technology and navigation. ”
Yang Zheng listened to the driver's words, and in an instant, the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
It seemed that he had finally broken free from the frenzied sales pitch he had just had, and he sighed silently as he looked at the sea of cars in front of him.
Indeed, technology and smartphones, although have made life a lot easier.
But because of these conveniences, people begin to habitually take shortcuts, and they also habitually become impetuous.
Technology and smartphones have also made people more and more dissatisfied and tired.
……
The taxi fare is a total of 21 yuan, and the chess nerd pays in cash.
The twenty-dollar banknote and one-yuan coin made Yang Zheng, who had not seen banknotes and coins for a long time, a little confused.
I don't know how long it's been since I've seen banknotes and coins.
I don't know how long it has been since I touched banknotes and coins.
The young online car-hailing driver repeatedly stroked the banknotes he had just handed over, perhaps in his heart, he also had the same feeling as Yang Zheng.
He carefully kept the banknotes and coins in his wallet, and in his wallet, the largest denomination was only ten dollars.
The chess nerd's twenty dollar bills, which seemed to be as rare as her, a weirdo who was completely "out of touch" with the smart phone, were carefully placed in the innermost layer of the wallet by the driver.
When Yang Zheng looked at the heartfelt smile of the driver as he left, he seemed to gradually understand the real reason why chess nerds don't like technology and smartphones.
That is, technology has not only changed lives, but also subtly changed the lives of young people nowadays.
"Hey, don't be in a daze." The chess nerd gently patted Yang Zheng on the shoulder.
"If we don't hurry, we're going to be late."
