The day after the end of the Olympic Games in the imperial capital, Xu Zhe finally got the second outsourcing job. At this time, it was only four or five days before the start of school.

He worked overtime and worked hard, and the two remunerations he finally received added up to just over 4,000 yuan.

If it was before he was reborn, he wouldn't have looked at this kind of price more. Party A doesn't understand the most basic things, and he is responsible for a lot of interpretation work in addition to writing code......

Similarly, today's computer configuration also makes him helpless. With only 1G of memory and more than 100G of storage space, from the perspective of future generations, it is no different from electronic waste.

But Xu Zhe has no room for pickiness.

In a notebook store in Computer City, he chose a notebook. And just as he took out his bank card and was about to swipe it, he heard a conversation between a mother and daughter next to him.

"Mom, do you really want to buy me this?"

"Studying also requires a combination of work and rest. Listening to music during breaks should be quite helpful. ”

Xu Zhe turned his head to take a look after swiping the card, and saw that the mother and daughter were picking MP3s in the store opposite the door. Their appearance and clothing are not ordinary, and the mother wears long pants and short hair, which looks neat and capable.

And the girl next to the mother has a soft black long straight hair, delicate eyebrows and eyes, a delicate figure, and looks quite quiet. Coupled with the white dress she wears, she looks like a little princess who has come out of a fairy tale.

And Xu Zhe's gaze froze slightly.

I don't know why, but it feels like this girl seems to be a little familiar......

Of course, although he had this inexplicable feeling, Xu Zhe had no intention of stepping forward to talk, after all, it was too far from his temperament. But just as he was about to leave, the two sentences of conversation between the aunt and the clerk made him have to stop.

Auntie: "Eight hundred yuan, right?" ”

Clerk: "That's right, this MP3 has a super capacity of 500 megabytes, and it is the latest STN color screen, which can display 65,000 colors——"

Halfway through the sales pitch, Xu Zhe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The clerk frowned at the little boy.

The aunt realized that something was strange and asked, "Is there a problem with what he recommended?" ”

Xu Zhe shook his head slightly: "STN's screen dares to ask for so much price, it's too much." ”

The clerk immediately argued: "This is a color screen!" ”

Xu Zhe: "The STN of the color screen is also low-end. You're not a TFT, not even a TFD. The response is slow, the picture quality is poor, and the main advantage is that it is cheap and reliable. But your products are not cheap, and there are less than two or three hundred products of similar grades on the market. In contrast, what are the advantages of yours? ”

The clerk was stunned for two seconds, and snorted coldly: "Don't compare those fake and shoddy things with our family, buy things to see the quality!" ”

Xu Zhe smiled slightly: "Do you really want to compare the quality?" So do you want to open the official website of Twistman now and compare the configuration and price? Oh no, Twistman may have bullied you too much. Look at Pingguo, their new iPods are probably cheaper than yours, right? Seriously, I understand that you want to make a profit, but the 500 megabyte capacity is still an STN screen, and your price is nearly 1,000 yuan, which is really too much. ”

The aunt stared at the clerk tightly: "You bully us and don't understand, right?" ”

The clerk's expression froze a little: "No, you...... You can't listen to this kid's nonsense. ”

Auntie: "Is he talking nonsense?" Then you let me see what Pingguo and Twistman, and I'll see how much their stuff costs. ”

The clerk scratched his head, speechless.

Xu Zhe just spoke just now, but he couldn't help it, and now that he has broken it, there is no need to stay here.

He picked up his newly purchased notebook and left unhurriedly.

But not far away, I was stopped by the aunt again:

"Kids, wait! We want to buy MP3, can you please help us take a look? Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain. ”

————

The reward for buying MP3s for someone else is a $50 bill.

The bottom line of the merchants in the computer city is uneven, and it is easy to step on the pit if you are not careful, not to mention consumers who don't know anything about electronic products. Fortunately, Xu Zhe has seen a lot of the configuration of various electronic products, and he has heard a lot of the routines of black-hearted merchants, so it is not difficult for him to avoid these pits.

Picking and choosing, he helped others choose a brand product, the price is moderate, and the performance is enough.

The user of this new MP3 is the girl. But when choosing, her mother communicated with Xu Zhe throughout the whole process, and the girl almost didn't say a word.

Xu Zhe could only sigh secretly. Do parents take the initiative to buy electronic products for their children, or choose good ones to buy, which is like spending so many days of hard work, trying to get a bank card and writing a code to exchange money......

However, after picking out the MP3, when the three of them walked out, the aunt finally couldn't help asking, "Do you buy a computer by yourself?" ”

Xu Zhe nodded.

The aunt sighed: "You know electronics very well, right?" But your parents are so good that they dare to let you buy it alone......"

Xu Zhe smiled and didn't say anything. After all, it is impossible for him to say that he earned the money himself, and he bought a computer completely without telling his parents. There is no need to confess to a stranger who has only one side.

After all, they don't even know each other's names.

However, the curiosity of the short-haired aunt has clearly not been satisfied. She asked, "How old are you and what grade are you?" ”

Xu Zhe replied in the shortest language: "The first year of junior high school." ”

Auntie's eyes widened: "How many days will I go to the first day of junior high school?" Are you going to go to high school too? ”

Xu Zhe nodded, already realizing something.

Sure enough, the next aunt said, "My daughter is in the same grade as you, maybe she is still in the same class!" ”

Xu Zhe: "...... Oh, yes. ”

The girl tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and whispered, "Mom, it's time for us to go." ”

At this time, the three of them had already walked out of the gate of the computer city. The mother and daughter stopped in front of a white car.

The car wasn't a luxury brand, but it was neat and shiny, and it looked like it was a good match for the delicate mother and daughter. Of course, in this small city these days, the family background that can drive this kind of private car is undoubtedly above the average.

But Xu Zhe didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

The city is small, and many seemingly strangers often have interpersonal connections, such as old classmates, old colleagues, etc., after all, there are only a few primary and secondary schools in the city. What if this aunt knows her parents? If you talk more, then the matter of buying a computer yourself will be exposed.

Fifty dollars are already in hand anyway. Xu Zhe waved his hand and said "Goodbye, Auntie", without letting the other party ask for his name, nor did he ask the other party's name.

Just before turning around, he glanced at the girl more.

There is indeed an inexplicable sense of familiarity......

————

At midnight, after listening to the door of his parents' bedroom closed, Xu Zhe returned to the bed, picked up the pillow, and lifted the sheet again, revealing the square thing.

Newly bought laptop.

In addition to this today, he even got the network cable at home. It's just that the length of the network cable is limited, so there are requirements for the specific location of the computer for him.

He moved the chair to the wall, placed the computer on the chair, and plugged in the network cable. Then, just crouch down in front of the chair and turn on the computer.

Looking at the boot screen of the computer and listening to the faint sound of the fan, Xu Zhe couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It's so comfortable......

He had already developed a habit in his previous life that if he didn't live with a computer, or if he couldn't use it freely, he felt that something was wrong.
