The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2170 Text

Chapter 2999

The author originally wanted to simply record the life from New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year in one chapter (this idea is quite unique, recording about a week's life in one chapter, but it was not done), just some things that happened during the New Year holiday, but I felt that no matter how concise the writing was, it would have to use several thousand or tens of thousands of words (with the author's strong ability to make up the word count, it is possible to use tens of thousands of words to record the mundane things in life), and I don't have such condensed and concise writing skills, so even if the writing can be simplified, it will not be simplified too much. So I changed to use several chapters to write about some things around this year's Little New Year and New Year's Eve, with a few words, just an appropriate number.

The mother of the author of the mortal world returned to her hometown at the end of last year. She was eager to return to her hometown city and missed the people and things in her hometown very much. She thought that her relatives in her hometown would bring her good things and she missed them very much. However, on the high floor of a five-star hotel in her hometown, after the New Year's Day, two relatives in her hometown had some problems and were not doing well. My mother was very worried about this and spent money and effort to run around and help. She went back to her hometown and originally wanted to sign up for a tour group to play. She could go to Xuexiang, Baiyu Lake, and soak in the snow-capped hot springs. There were many tourist projects to choose from. Some projects were popular and she might have to sign up in advance or find someone she knew to help reserve a place. Some well-known tourist attractions had a lot of passenger flow and were popular tourist projects in the surrounding areas. You can go to the ice lantern exhibition in the local area, but because some relatives had illnesses, she had to help take care of them. Some relatives needed money and asked her to help with handling and coordinating some things, which made her not in the mood to play. She didn't even go to the local ice lantern exhibition. She originally wanted to go there and said that the decorations there were very beautiful. During those days, she went out several times a day on average. The weather there was very cold, often with temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero, but she still had to go out frequently to deal with some things. Some things, she didn't want to face, but she had to face them. The two relatives had this and that, which made her life very difficult during those days. She felt very depressed. If she didn't go back, she could call and transfer money. Since she went back, she not only had to spend money, but also had to help out. She had to go to some places to help relatives deal with certain things, and wash clothes and sheets for relatives, etc. In less than a month, she felt very unhappy and became haggard and anxious. Because she was in a bad mood, she ate a lot of nutritional supplements, but she felt that her physical condition was far worse than before, mainly because she was in a bad mood and worried about the troubles of her relatives. Later, she helped the two relatives go to a nursing home in a seaside city for two months, as a blessing. My mother added several thousand yuan for the round-trip airfare, which was more than the estimated expenses for the New Year. She thought it was her obligation to help and she had done her best.

Before the Little New Year this year, my family returned to Kyoto and spent the New Year with me during the New Year. I didn’t want my child to spend the New Year alone, so I didn’t go to the southern seaside city. This time when I went back to my hometown, some of her friends and classmates were busy, and some had a cold, so I wanted to meet them, but I didn’t see them. I will meet them for dinner and talk when she returns to her hometown in a while. Some friends and classmates always posted on WeChat Moments when she returned to her hometown. They knew she was back, but they didn’t contact her much. Maybe for some reason, some social skills, there was a cold phenomenon.

My family took a soft sleeper train. Although I did not go to the train station to pick her up, I used a red envelope transferred by an app to let her take a taxi. The night before, we had dishes from the official restaurant of a four-star hotel, and also bought more than 100 yuan worth of pastries at a pastry shop near the hotel, most of which were cream pastries, and put them in paper boxes. Because my family did not want to go out of the train station and take a taxi home directly, they wanted to save some money. In the app, I suggested that my family go out of the train station, take the subway, and then reverse to the route that opened later. When they arrived at a subway station in the suburbs, there was a direct elevator, so they didn’t have to take the stairs, so as to avoid the difficulty of carrying the suitcase. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of passengers on that subway line that day, and there were no empty seats in the carriage, so my family came back and complained that the advice they gave was not right. I will give fewer suggestions in the future, so as not to make well-intentioned suggestions but cause unpleasant things.

Because the analog signal of the large rear-projection TV in the living room of my home has been lost and it was stopped last year, I haven't watched TV news and TV programs for a while. My family has a set-top box in the bedroom, which can watch TV channels, but I didn't find a staff to come and modify it in the living room, so I can't watch TV in the living room.

Some time ago, after my mother returned to China, she used her tablet computer to watch live broadcasts of online channels. She was eating in the living room and wanted to watch the news, but the large rear-projection TV could not be used. There was no analog signal from the TV company, and the mobile phone screen was relatively small, so the viewing effect was average. So she used a tablet computer to watch the live broadcasts of online TV channels. The viewing experience was much better, but the 12.1-inch screen of the tablet computer was not very big. It was mainly used to listen to the news. It could be used for a while, but the problem of no TV signal in the living room had to be solved. I heard from my family that they still wanted to watch it on a large-screen TV. Since the family had not bought a new TV for many years, although the family had the idea of ​​buying one, they just thought about it. The family said that it was better to use the old-fashioned large rear-projection TV. Although the TV was old, the screen was still quite large.

That large rear-projection TV cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan nearly 30 years ago. At that time, it was a very expensive home appliance. With the development and progress of home appliances, such TV technology has long been outdated and has been eliminated for many years. The recycling price now may be only a few hundred yuan. If you used that money to buy gold jewelry or invest in gold bars, based on the gold recycling price at the beginning of this year, at a high price of 500 or 600 yuan per gram, the recycling price might be as high as 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. But old electronic products are not worth much. If you meet someone who is willing to collect those old TVs and old appliances, they might give a little more money.

The family wanted to reuse the large rear-projection TV in the living room and did not plan to buy a new large TV. They thought that the one that cost several thousand yuan was not good enough. They wanted to buy a high-end large TV worth tens of thousands of yuan, but they did not have that much budget for the time being, so they chose to continue using the original TV. After returning this time, the family called the TV service company to come to their home, made an appointment, and waited for the installation and debugging of the set-top box, so that the large rear-projection TV in the living room of the family could be connected to the set-top box to watch TV programs.

The next day, which was the Chinese New Year, the family went out and bought breakfast from a fast food restaurant. After eating, they waited for the staff to come to move the set-top box and adjust the TV signal. There was a middle-aged man who was in charge of the installation and maintenance business nearby. After he came to the house, he looked at the TV and said that there was no old-style connecting cable. He asked the customer to go to the service center to check. If there was one, there was one. If not, they had to buy it online. They would install it when the old-style connecting cable was available. The man looked very anxious and said that there was still a lot of work to be done. If they wanted to connect the old-style TV to the set-top box, they would need an adapted connecting cable. They could make an appointment and come to install it. There might be a free time in the afternoon or evening of the same day. He said that the wiring at home was aging and that he could not use the playback function of the set-top box. He could not solve such a problem. Then he left to do other work.

Some things are difficult to solve, and they may be avoided and delayed, but sometimes, some problems have to be solved after all.
