Chapter 52 A City Anecdote (31) Guo Xiaosong's microcomputer
Under the guidance of "Da Zhuang", Ai Xiaomeng and Guo Xiaosong visited the entire "Beijing computer market", and the high price made Guo Xiaosong, a "microcomputer beginner", feel confused, and the "water" of the computer market is too deep.
'Why don't we eat something first!' Da Zhuang still came by car today, and it seems that he can't do without the car in this life.
'So what are we going to eat?' It was almost noon, and Ai Xiaomeng also felt a little hungry.
As soon as Guo Xiaosong wanted to propose to 'eat steamed buns', 'Da Zhuang' spoke again, 'I know there's a Pizza Hut not far from here, why don't we go eat it!' β
What is called 'Pizza Hut', Guo Xiaosong has never heard of it, as soon as he walked into the restaurant with a long queue, he felt that he had fallen into the 'Ecstasy Array', stupidly watching what others ate and not saying anything, he had no appetite at all, but in order to show a gentlemanly demeanor in front of Ai Xiaomeng, he took out 200 yuan from his body and handed it to 'Da Zhuang'.
After taking Guo Xiaosong's money, 'Da Zhuang' asked, 'What do you want to eat, I'll help you order, I'll line up over there!' β
Guo Xiaosong said without thinking, "I am not as familiar with this place as you, you look at it." β
'Self-service vegetable salad' was stacked high by Ai Xiaomeng, Guo Xiaosong thought it was very interesting, but he really didn't dare to compliment the taste of this thing, "What kind of taste is this, why is it so unpalatable!" β
"I wasn't used to it at first, but if I came too much, I asked Da Zhuang to call Pizza for you, you don't like to eat that." β
Two hundred yuan, 'Da Zhuang' didn't return a cent, and set up a big table, Guo Xiaosong frowned sadly about these foods, Ai Xiaomeng and 'Da Zhuang' on the opposite side ate with relish, and the sound of knives and forks rubbing against each other made Guo Xiaosong not hungry at all. He looked forward to the meal being finished quickly.
After a morning of shopping in the 'Beijing Computer City', Guo Xiaosong didn't buy a single thing, he was going to go to a nearby shopping mall with Ai Xiaomeng, hoping that there was a 'learning machine' that could be seen. β
'I'm so sorry, I didn't help me with anything today, thank you for lunch, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't leave with you!' After Da Zhuang walked out of 'Pizza Hut', he had to say goodbye to Guo Xiaosong.
Others are so good at talking, how can Guo Xiaosong not be polite. "You've helped me a lot today, but I don't have any money now, I have to have money, if you want to install a computer, I'll look for you again!" β
Without the light bulb of 'Da Zhuang', Guo Xiaosong felt very relaxed and natural, in a large home appliance shopping mall, he fell in love with a 'backgammon learning machine' and watched the salesperson's demonstration. Guo Xiaosong was intoxicated, and for the first time he felt that what he should buy, "Excuse me, how much does your learning machine cost?" β
'If you're going to plug in the TV.' Or is it connected to the monitor? β
Guo Xiaosong scratched his head and said to Ai Xiaomeng on the side, "You know better than me, what do you say I should buy?" β
Ai Xiaomeng studied computers in college. I don't know much about this learning machine, 'I don't know, what did your teacher tell you?' β
And he told us. Beginners can use the learning machine to practice typing, and nothing else! β
"Then I think you'd better buy one that works.,Don't you say it.,You even bought a new color TV.,Or you can buy a TV! β
Guo Xiaosong thought about it and thought,'That big TV is a big guy,I usually can't use it,I think it's better to buy a monitor!" β
Seeing that Guo Xiaosong was hesitant, the salesman proposed his own construction, "I think you might as well buy an extra cable, so that the TV and monitor can be used again!" β
'That's great, I'm going to ask for this, you can bill me!' The 'learning machine' of nearly 500 is beyond Guo Xiaosong's budget, and with the 'Pizza Hut' meal at noon, the money he brought today is not much.
Ai Xiaomeng seemed to see Guo Xiaosong's difficulty, "Is the money to buy a monitor insufficient, I saw you in the computer city before, looking at a black and white monitor, do you want to buy it!" β
'What about the 15-inch one, it's more than 600, I can just look at the 13 one, or let's buy the 13 one?' Guo Xiaosong has always given Ai Xiaomeng money, how can he be embarrassed to spend her.
"You are a practitioner, the screen is better, I have money, you can go with me!" β
Sitting in a taxi, Guo Xiaosong bought his 'microcomputer', looking very proud and proud, as early as before the return trip, he called the company and asked two people from the class to pick him up at the doorman.
As soon as he got out of the car, two recruits in the squad ran over and took over Guo Xiaosong's microcomputer from the trunk of the taxi. β
'Squad leader, it's good now, this thing is quite expensive! This recruit came from an ordinary background, a child from a mountain village.
Guo Xiaosong didn't speak, just walked with a smile and a word.
"Of course, who is our squad leader, when did you buy a bargain, or you carry me here, see if it sinks!" β
The instructor of the Seventh Company cleaned up the 'library' adjacent to his own office, and piled all the books into the company's 'conference room'.
'The cable is plugged in, and the next step is to turn it on! 'I saw the fiddling of the salesman in the mall, and the instruction manual in his hand, Guo Xiaosong opened the 'microcomputer' cleanly. β
'Shouldn't this monitor be color?' Why are you in black and white? Lian Li had seen the real computer in the regiment, and as soon as he turned it on, he found the problem.
"I bought black and white, and more than 2,000 colored ones, how can I afford it, anyway, it's just to practice, just have one!" Guo Xiaosong has long been mentally prepared, what others will say about his own microcomputer. β
In the learning machine, there is not only software to practice typing, but also many fun games, Guo Xiaosong opened a few games, and before he could play, the instructor of the Seventh Company on the side spoke, "No wonder you hurriedly bought it back, it turned out to be for playing games, I tell you, if you play games, I won't give you this house!" β
Guo Xiaosong said with a hippie smile, "How can it, when I was in my hometown earlier, I played for me, I don't like to play anymore, I just want to show you a demonstration, don't be angry, instructor, I have set my own learning goals, as long as I am free, I will practice typing, and strive to also take a computing qualification exam, and the whole certificate will come back!" β
It's good to have a goal, but Guo Xiaosong, a novice who can't even type, thought of the qualification exam at the beginning, which is enough to make everyone in the room stunned, everyone knows that Guo Xiaosong has ideas, but if there is really a 'computer genius', this is really a big deal, in order not to hinder Guo Xiaosong from practicing typing, the big guys have withdrawn from the 'computer room'.
"Today we have a class meeting, I want to announce a big event, don't you all know that I bought a 'microcomputer', in the future I have time to study, you had better be conscious in the future, what is there to find your class deputy, I will go to him when I am not there, if he is not there, then go to the 'microcomputer room' to find me! β
"Then squad leader, you won't take us to practice physical fitness in the future!" The reason why the veterans in the squad can insist on practicing physical fitness is really related to Guo Xiaosong's example, if he doesn't practice now, they, the veterans who are about to demobilize, will not have the heart to practice.
Guo Xiaosong is such a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he guessed what they wanted to say next, "Practice, why don't you practice, I learn" microcomputer "is a side job, that is, Saturday and Sunday to play in the sky, usually practice for half an hour at noon, and practice for a while at night, usually we are still practicing together, now you have to rest assured!" β
Running, has always been the best way for fighters to practice qi, variable speed running, more able to train the fighters' explosive strength and endurance, Guo Xiaosong's body is quite good, but once he enters the state of learning 'microcomputer', his mind is full of'second-level shortcode', 'third-level shortcode', and special word solving methods, 'where do you type the sick word, is it two or three strokes!' Guo Xiaosong asked the fifth squad leader beside him.
"How do I know, I haven't learned, aren't you practicing every day, by the way, when will you let me practice balloon!" In the learning machine, as long as the typing is correct, the balloons flying in the sky will be burst, and the fifth squad leader is not interested in practicing typing, but about playing games.
"Wait two days, I've been queuing up lately, I promised the paperwork, and when I'm not there, let him play casually!" Without his cooperation, Guo Xiaosong couldn't even enter the 'computer room', because the key was in people's waists.
"This is what you said, our squad soldiers have told me, as soon as there is something to do, the sixth squad leader will not be there, but I, the fifth squad leader, led the people of your class to go, I only get a squad leader fee, if you don't want to comfort me anymore, I will be anxious!" β
'Don't worry, as long as this time passes, I will arrange for you!' β
From being able to type dozens of words a minute, to typing a newspaper word, it only takes ten minutes to type, which can be said to be as fast as an arrow, in the battalion commander's wife's class, Guo Xiaosong did not ask many questions, but he can be regarded as the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of the battalion commander's wife, especially when she saw that Guo Xiaosong spent money to buy a 'microcomputer' for his own study, which made the female university teacher feel, 'The soldiers in the army are not all rude people, but also diligent and studious children!'
