Chapter 22: The Light of Mobile Phones (10)
"Hit the biggest. Hit this. Uncle Li stood beside Aunt Li and reached out and counted her cards.
Aunt Li raised her eyes and glanced at him.
Uncle Li looked away.
The daughter sitting on the sofa next to her immediately smiled, "Xixi, look at it, your grandmother asked your grandfather to show your cards." β
Before her granddaughter could react, Aunt Li threw the card first, "Okay, okay, let's stop playing, let's eat." β
"Grandma!" The granddaughter yelled.
"Heyβ"
The doorbell rang just in time.
Aunt Li's words changed when she slipped into her mouth, "I'll open the door." The things I bought were delivered! Before he could finish speaking, he walked away from the table.
The granddaughter deliberately coquetted to make the old man happy, and followed him to the door.
The door opened, and the courier outside the door greeted Aunt Li with a smile.
"Xiao Li, it's early today."
"I'll send you here today."
Aunt Li chatted with the courier familiarly, took the pen from him, and signed her name on the courier on the box.
"Thank you. The lad worked hard. β
"Nothing."
Aunt Li handed the box to her granddaughter and closed the door.
"Grandma, you know everyone." The granddaughter sighed.
"That's it." Aunt Li was triumphant and began to teach her granddaughter the philosophy of life, "That's how to be a man." You smile at someone, say hello, and you get to know each other three or two times. This Xiao Li and my own family still meet often. When I buy things on Taobao now, I ask the seller to send me their courier and let Xiao Li deliver it. I didn't say hello to the one I used to give, and I just stuffed it into the cabinet outside......"
Aunt Li complained, and instructed her granddaughter to help her unpack.
She bought a box of dried goods such as shiitake mushrooms and fungus, as well as a jar of pickles.
"This brand is delicious. Your grandfather also liked to eat this. It's better than the ones in the supermarket outside. The farmer made it himself. Aunt Li introduced.
Uncle Li didn't answer, and glanced at the boxy QR code on the box.
The busy people in the kitchen shouted "It's time to eat", and everyone put the card game behind them and gathered around the table.
With Aunt Li at home, she will never be cold, and she can talk non-stop for a long time.
Uncle Li was occasionally mentioned, so he responded, beckoning his children and grandchildren to eat and praising the craftsmanship of the juniors, which was no different from the usual dinners.
The children were reassured.
After lunch, in the afternoon, the children accompanied the old couple to play cards, and the third generation was bored, so they went to the surrounding shopping malls to go shopping, and came back at dinner and brought back some cooked dishes.
Dinner is much the same as lunch.
After eating, they sat down for a while, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and a group of people said goodbye to the old couple.
The whole day passed in the blink of an eye. Now the house is quiet all of a sudden.
Aunt Li didn't feel lonely. She sat on the couch and took out her phone, "I haven't used up my five lives today." β
Uncle Li didn't feel any sense of loss, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen alone, took the express box that Aunt Li received during the day to the study, and compared it with the paper bag he bought the book on.
He can see that this is the same thing, probably called a QR code, which may be related to mobile phones, but he doesn't know what it is used for.
After holding it for a long time, Uncle Li still moved to Aunt Li with a sigh, carrying those two things in his hands.
"Do what?" Aunt Li didn't raise her head, studying which group of small animals to eliminate.
"This. What is this thing for? Uncle Li pointed out the two QR codes to Aunt Li.
"I'll have a good time." Aunt Li still didn't look up.
Uncle Li had no choice but to sit down beside her, twisting his head to look at her phone screen.
After looking at it for a while, he understood that Aunt Li would slash the heads of the same animal every time, and those heads would explode and new heads would fall from the top. But what's the point?
Uncle Li couldn't understand, so he waited patiently for a long time, and waited until Aunt Li's five lives were consumed at this level, and today's game time was over.
"What did you just tell me to do?" Aunt Li looked back at Uncle Li.
"Ask you this. What's the use of this? Uncle Li pointed to two QR codes.
"This is for you to sweep. Sweep it, and there will be their WeChat. β
"And then?"
"Then they can send you little ads." Aunt Li said very understandingly, "Don't sweep indiscriminately, some things will be deducted as soon as you sweep them, fake." Oh, you don't have a phone. Aunt Li stood up, "I'll go take a shower first." β
Uncle Li sat on the sofa depressed.
He kind of knows, he doesn't have a mobile phone, and people can't cheat him out of money.
After the rough-lined Aunt Li finished washing and smeared the foreign alabaster given by her daughter on her face, she suddenly realized Uncle Li's abnormal behavior.
Uncle Li was still sitting on the sofa at this time.
"Old man, are you going to play with your phone?" Aunt Li asked, her tone amazed.
Uncle Li didn't answer.
He hasn't figured it out yet.
"Then my previous Huawei is good for you. You'll have to get a calling card. Go to the business hall tomorrow to get a card. Aunt Li has already made a decision, "Hey, I still don't want to, tell my son and let them help you." There are a lot of cards now, and some of them cost a lot of money, and you can't use them that much. She took out her phone and was about to send a message to the family group.
"Okay, I'll just ask, don't call your son them." Uncle Li stopped Aunt Li's movements.
He'll have to think about it.
Uncle Li was very calm. He felt that he couldn't babble like Aunt Li did at the beginning, just because he saw that his children and children were also using mobile phones, so he pestered them to learn. Uncle Li has an old-fashioned patriarchal mentality, if he wants to ask shamelessly, it's okay, but he can't ask the children shamelessly, and ask so many times - Aunt Li has been learning mobile phones for a long time, and Uncle Li's previous completely failed self-attempt made him feel a little hit.
He also felt that this was a big deal, and he had to think carefully before making a decision.
Mobile phones are not cheap, and phone bills are not cheap. How much was a mobile phone at that time, and it cost so much money every month. There is also the previous copy machine, the earlier one, the big brother he didn't have the money to use...... It's just that now that the children have a better life, they don't take money seriously, so they don't wait for things to be used up, and then replace them with new ones.
Uncle Li called out to Aunt Li, but Aunt Li didn't insist, she put it down in a blink of an eye, and slept peacefully at night. Uncle Li lay on the bed and thought about it over and over again that night, and he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Uncle Li behaved as usual, had breakfast, and walked out.
He didn't go to play cards, he just walked around the neighborhood to see what his old neighbors were doing. After a short time, he determined that there were very few old men and women in the community who were as capable as his wife. Most of the elderly use mobile phones for the function of mobile phones.
Uncle Li thought to himself for a while, went home for dinner at noon, was silent in front of Aunt Li, and ran outside the community in the afternoon.
He decided to go outside.
