Chapter 20: The Light of Mobile Phones (8)
In Uncle Li's mind, Aunt Li can learn to use a mobile phone, and he will definitely be able to learn it faster. This is why he didn't want to learn before, he was too lazy to learn, and he didn't need it, so he didn't use his mobile phone.
But the fact is that he has been figuring about it for a long time, holding his mobile phone, as if he was holding his newborn son back then, and he doesn't know where to start.
Aunt Li taught him, but she was not very patient, and as soon as she finished explaining, she went to take a nap.
Uncle Li wore reading glasses and sat in the study for a long time, so he had to run to the bedroom to find Aunt Li. Seeing that Aunt Li was snoring in her sleep, he hesitated for a while and gave up.
He took his phone back to the study, put it aside, looked at the plan he had written down yesterday, and made a cross after the first one with some loss.
He began to revise the plan. I'm afraid the reading plan won't be completed so quickly. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the travel plan and fishing plan in the future are not so easy.
Uncle Li has a sense of loneliness that he is really old.
The last time he had this feeling seemed to be when he was young, it was when the equipment was updated in the factory, and he watched the new colleagues get the equipment running in three or two clicks, and it took him a long time to figure it out, and he had this sense of loneliness.
With such a sigh and a memory, time passed unconsciously.
The mobile phone on the table rang, startling Uncle Li.
He looked at his phone, overwhelmed, and after a while he remembered, and went into the bedroom with his phone.
Aunt Li just opened her eyes and looked at Uncle Li, "The alarm clock is ringing...... Ha-" She yawned, took the phone from Uncle Li's hand, and asked, "Are you sure what books you want to buy?" ”
"I didn't want to buy it." Uncle Li wanted to save face and refused to say that he didn't understand how to use a mobile phone.
Aunt Li didn't take it to heart, muttering a few words about his whim, he had nothing to do, so he was ready to wash his face and go out to play cards.
Uncle Li had nothing to do, so he simply went to play cards.
This is what he usually does.
Time flies by in the middle of a game. After playing cards, the day is almost over. No matter how tough they are, they don't have the nightlife of young people.
After slacking off for a day, and feeling that the plan to find a bookstore to buy books could not be carried out, Uncle Li decided to go fishing.
He looked at the weather forecast last night, and it was going to be a good day, so he looked for fishing rods everywhere in the morning.
Of course, the things in the house will not be collected by him.
"Where's my fishing rod?" Uncle Li asked Aunt Li directly.
Aunt Li looked surprised, "Why did you think about fishing again?" ”
"I ask you, where did you stuff my fishing rod?"
"It's on top of the cupboard. Don't give me trouble. How do you take it when you put it so high? I can't take it. Aunt Li immediately replied, "You want to go fishing, wait for your son to rest and take you there." ”
Uncle Li was sullen.
Aunt Li felt that something was not quite right at this time.
"Old man, what have you been doing these two days? Are you still thinking about the old dragon? ”
"Nope. I'm just looking for something to do. ”
"Did you play cards and quarrel with someone? Is that Lao Zhang repaying his debts again? Aunt Li asked.
"Nope." Uncle Li was reluctant to answer.
He hadn't shown his plan to anyone else, and he wasn't going to tell anyone about it.
Aunt Li was worried, and asked Uncle Li a few words, and she was angry when she saw his saw-mouthed gourd. She immediately took out her phone and sent a voice message to her son. She didn't hide her loud voice, and even deliberately screamed so that Uncle Li could hear what she said clearly.
"Son! Your dad is crazy! Come and see it after work! ”
"What are you talking nonsense!" Uncle Li scolded unhappily.
This was also recorded.
Aunt Li swiped the screen, sent the voice out, and clicked on it to play it.
Uncle Li felt even more unhappy when he heard the voices of his wife and himself coming from his mobile phone, and he also felt a sense of shame, like a child with ambition to be a scientist in the future, and was seriously poured cold water by his parents.
"No, you have to say it in the group and let them know." Aunt Li didn't care what kind of black face Uncle Li was now, she directly forwarded the voice just now to the family group, and clicked on it again to play those words again.
Uncle Li didn't understand what a group was, "What are you talking about?" To whom? Who are you going to give this to? ”
"Crowd. Just the group where sons, daughters, and grandchildren are all there. ”
"What a crowd."
"Old turtle."
Aunt Li rolled her eyes and found that there was an extra message on the screen, and immediately read it out to Uncle Li with a smile, "Your granddaughter sent it and asked you what's wrong?" Look at this expression. She glanced at the screen of her mobile phone to Uncle Li, and she still imitated the expression after the message, covering her eyes and making a grimace.
Uncle Li pulled her hand down and pushed the phone aside. He ran into the study angrily and ignored Aunt Li. Sitting in the study, he could still hear Aunt Li's laughter and hear Aunt Li talking to the family.
Aunt Li didn't want to toss her son and asked him not to come. During dinner, she enlightened Uncle Li without saying a word. She was able to do it when she was young, and at the same time, when she was young, she was not associated with gentleness, and now she is even more so when she is old.
Uncle Li was not successfully enlightened, and he sulked every day, but he still played cards during the day.
At the end of the week, the children came.
When the family talked about it, Aunt Li was overjoyed, and the children looked at each other.
"Dad, you're going to the bookstore, huh? Then I'll take you there tomorrow. ”
"What tomorrow, go now. It's a quick drive. ”
"Yes, yes, go now."
"Let your son-in-law take you fishing next week."
"Then let's go to the farmhouse together, go for two days. Isn't there fishing, orange picking, and an automatic mahjong table? ”
"Yes, this is good. Take your parents to play. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and without waiting for Uncle Li to speak, they arranged it.
Uncle Li's feeling was a little weird.
He has the happiness of being an elder. It is naturally a good thing that the juniors are so filial. But he couldn't help himself, and he was a little at a loss. Just like before, I wanted to go to Xinhua Bookstore, but I saw a strange big supermarket.
He was silent and did not speak, and when his son said that he had set off, he obediently followed. The two daughters also accompanied him to the bookstore. Leave the others to play cards with Aunt Li.
After getting into the car, Uncle Li watched his son fiddle with his mobile phone for a while. The TV screen in the car lit up, and voices came out, pointing in the right direction. After arriving at the destination, Uncle Li looked at the young men and women on the road and the beautiful shopping mall buildings on the street, and was a little overwhelmed.
"There's a bookstore here, huh?" Uncle Li asked.
"That's right. One of the largest bookstores in the neighborhood is here. ”
"Where's the parking lot?" The eldest daughter asked.
"Front. I see the sign. The son replied, and the car turned around and found the underground parking lot.
Uncle Li was supported by his children, got out of the car, and walked in the somewhat dim underground parking lot. They quickly found the elevator. The elevator stopped on the first floor, and many people came in, and then went all the way to the top floor, and there were only four of them left in the elevator.
The elevator doors opened, and the corridor outside was wide, bright and quiet.
Uncle Li's children helped him out, turned his head to look at both ends of the corridor, and found the entrance to the bookstore.
Uncle Li was taken by his children, and he entered this strange bookstore in a trance.
