Chapter 14: The Light of Mobile Phones (2)

In Aunt Li's words, "What's wrong with the old lady?" The old lady can't use the Macinto, huh? I know it's a Mac! I saw it in the news. A new one comes out every year, and you young people line up to buy it. What don't I know? I also know about apple muscles! I'm not your grandfather's old turtle. ”

Uncle Li, who didn't say anything at the time, lay down like this.

He glanced at his wife and didn't speak.

Married for more than sixty years, he has long been used to it.

Besides, he really didn't know what a Mac machine was, and he didn't know the apple muscles. He watched his granddaughter smile backwards and forwards, and his daughter and son-in-law were also overjoyed, and did not laugh along. A few days later, their granddaughter came to see them and gave the love to their wife. My wife was happy for several days, carrying it everywhere, and from time to time she took it out and pressed it twice.

Uncle Li was annoyed when he saw this crazy love, and waved his hand to push Aunt Li's hand away.

"I ask you what her name is."

"Chen Junying."

"She's a woman named Junying?"

"Chen Junying, this Junying." Aunt Li turned on her iPhone's schedule. On Uncle Li's birthday next year, the name "Chen Junying" was written.

Uncle Li glanced sideways, "You wrote people's names on that day, and you are going to call people early that morning?" ”

"You turtle, this can make an alarm in advance. If you see it, it will alarm in advance. "Aunt Li gave Uncle Li popular science.

Uncle Li didn't bother to look at it, waved his hand again, and added the word "Junying" to the list.

Aunt Li snorted, "I'm sleeping." ”

Uncle Li didn't raise his head.

He made a list all night, spent a lot of time, and overslept in the morning.

Got up and ate the cold buns, and he was full of energy and ready to call one by one according to the list.

Chen Junying, who was the first on the list, didn't need to be contacted by him, and was typed "×" by him after his name.

His first contact was his elementary school classmates, who were also his comrades-in-arms and colleagues. For most of his life, he has spent most of his life with his wife day and night, but the one who has known him for the longest time, except for his parents, is this classmate. After retirement, the contact between the two gradually decreased. Without a fixed meeting time on weekdays, it is not easy to have a special party on weekdays. When you get older, it's even harder. What's more, Jiang Longchang has bad legs and feet, and there are not many opportunities to come out. When he wrote the list, he didn't write Jiang Longchang in the first place, because he was afraid of calling people to eat, but he would cause trouble to people. Still, after thinking about it all night, he decided to make the call.

Uncle Li wore reading glasses, flipped through the yellowed phone book, and saw the name Jiang Longchang at a glance. The name is written on the first page, and the handwriting is the same as that of his youth. At that time, he had a lot of strength, and he could pierce through the paper with every word. This bad habit naturally disappeared after he retired.

Uncle Li pressed the button on the phone according to the number recorded after his name.

The number was dialed out, and after two beeps, an artificial voice sounded.

"I'm sorry, the number you called was empty."

Uncle Li was a little puzzled.

He listened to the foreign language he didn't understand, and read the numbers from the small notebook.

Hooking up the receiver and picking it up again, he dialed the number again.

This time, he dialed it very slowly, and every time he pressed the key, he had to check the records in the notebook and read out the numbers.

After pressing the eight digits, another voice prompt came out of the phone.

It's still an empty number.

Uncle Li was a little confused.

He let out a "huh" and read the phone book several times. Jiang Longchang's phone number is just this one, and it has not been changed. He also called him during the Chinese New Year this year to greet him.

Aunt Li happened to come out of the kitchen at this time, and she didn't look at Uncle Li, so she explained, "I'm going to sing." The soup is boiling on the stove, you look at it. ”

"Hey, wait." Uncle Li hurriedly stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Aunt Li turned around, saw the small notebook in Uncle Li's hand and the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, and asked, "Who are you calling?" They all go to work. If you have something, I'll send them a message and ask them to call at night. She said, pulling out her phone from her pocket.

Uncle Li waved his hand and pushed the love madness away, "I'm not looking for them." I'll call the old dragon. Aren't you going to have a treat? Why did this phone number become empty? ”

He said depressedly and handed the phone book to his wife.

"I'll take a look." Aunt Li took the small notebook, used her iPhone to broadcast the number, and turned on the speakerphone to Uncle Li.

“…… The number you dialed is empty......"

The same chime came from the phone.

"The number is gone. The old dragon has moved? Aunt Li said in surprise.

"Nope. When he moved and changed his phone, he must have told me. Uncle Li said affirmatively.

Aunt Li glanced him up and down and didn't speak.

Uncle Li was depressed and repeated like a child: "He will definitely tell me." ”

"Why is the phone gone? Does he have a cell phone? ”

"Nope."

"Oh......" Aunt Li glanced up and down at Uncle Li again.

Uncle Li also doesn't have a mobile phone.

He used to have a mobile phone, but after retirement, he was at home all the year round, and he couldn't use it, so he didn't know where he threw it. A mobile phone is a portable phone for Uncle Li.

Although they have been married for many years, Aunt Li is an old lady who can use an iPhone, and of course she is not the same as Uncle Li in this regard. Uncle Li's irreversible friend was also included in the list of contempt by Aunt Li.

Uncle Li said angrily: "Go and sing, you." I'll check back later. ”

"What are you calling? I'll give his daughter a call. Aunt Li looked at Uncle Li's elongated face and took the initiative to solve problems for him.

"You still have his daughter's phone?" Uncle Li's eyes widened.

"Didn't I go with that old comrade-in-arms last time you gathered? The old dragon's daughter sent him there, and we said two words. At that time, I left a mobile phone number. Aunt Li opened WeChat.

"How many years has that been? Haven't you changed your phone too? ”

"The phone was changed, but the card was not changed. Hey, I can't tell you old turtle. Aunt Li found the name of Jiang Longchang's daughter.

"You're in touch, huh?"

"Nope."

"Do people remember your number?" Uncle Li thought of the scam calls that have been prevalent recently. The son and daughter reminded them not to answer strange calls.

"Why don't you remember? Last year, I added WeChat. ”

Uncle Li shut up. He often hears his wife and children mention "WeChat", but he only knows that it is a mobile phone, which is similar to a phone, and he doesn't know anything else.

Aunt Li is not very good at typing, and her handwriting input is also slow. She loves to use this video call.

"Lao Long's daughter is retired, right?"

"Not yet."

"Oh. Then I won't call, don't disturb people's work. Aunt Li turned on the input method and wrote stroke by stroke.

Uncle Li glanced twice, "Your writing is too ugly." ”

"What do you want to look at? The phone just knows what I'm writing about. Aunt Li rolled her eyes.

She doesn't have Uncle Li's strong handwriting, but the phone doesn't mind that she writes ugly and recognizes it at a fast pace.

After a message was sent, Aunt Li put her phone away, "She replied to me, I'll tell you again." I went to class. ”

Uncle Li nodded, and looked at his list again, and flipped through the phone book.

Aunt Li didn't even look at it, and the elderly man dressed in spirit went out with her head up.

Through a door, she could still hear the sound of her singing while waiting for the elevator.
