Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 81 Buy it!

The CD store has two storefronts, and the entire store is filled with all kinds of CDs. There are several long tables in the middle of the store, with all kinds of DVD players and tape recorders of all sizes on the long tables. One of the DVD players has been connected to power lines and a TV, which is playing Jay Chou's album MV. Jay Chou's unique voice echoes in the CD store.

Mirrors are installed on the walls where the CDs are placed, so you can clearly see the appearance and movements of each guest standing in front of the CD.

The long table was only as high as an adult man's waist and was divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. Each layer was filled with machines of a different style from the other two layers. There was no other obstruction in the entire store except the long table, so the entire store was in full view.

The owner sat in front of the cashier counter at the door, looking at the store and sorting out the new CDs that had just arrived.

Shen Qingqing followed Shen Rongzhou in and found that the discs were not arranged according to the category of the recorded content, but according to the color of the disc packaging, making the colors of the entire space look very design-oriented.

In Shen Qingqing's memory, there were two colors of Crazy English discs, one red and one green.

Shen Qingqing didn't know whether it was pirated or not, but she did remember some of the content. It was very suitable for people with no basic knowledge to learn, so it didn't matter whether it was pirated or not. For a small place like theirs, it was good enough to have it for sale.

While she followed Shen Rongzhou to choose a DVD player in front of the long table, she tilted her head back and looked for the two colors she remembered in the store.

Soon, she found the red one, and also discovered the green one not far away.

Shen Rongzhou looked at several DVD players, waved hesitantly to the owner to come over, and asked her what the differences were among these DVD players.

The store owner explained to Shen Rongzhou in detail the differences between these DVD players, and of course the prices were also different.

In fact, Shen Rongzhou didn't really understand the differences, but adhering to the idea that expensive is better, Shen Rongzhou was about to ask for the most expensive one when Shen Qingqing stopped him in time.

"Wait a minute, Dad! Just buy this cheaper, lighter, thinner model. We don't watch anything else, we just play English DVDs to study. When I get new textbooks, we'll have tapes to listen to, so we won't need something that expensive."

Shen Qingqing knew that DVD players would basically withdraw from the low-end market in a few years, and laptops with disc playback functions would soon become popular. There was no need to spend so much money now to buy something that would be obsolete in a few years.

Shen Rongzhou thought about it and nodded, then bought the cheap one that Shen Qingqing mentioned from the owner.

As for the tape recorder, Shen Qingqing also chose the one she wanted to buy after finding the two CDs.

She didn't plan to buy the large portable tape recorder that the school had, but instead chose a Walkman-style Aiwa tape recorder.

The entire tape recorder body is about 15*20 in size and three centimeters thick. It is divided into two parts, the upper part is used to play tapes. On the raised row of buttons at the top, press the power button and the cover will pop open. The speaker is below.

The tape recorder was easy to pack, and you just had to put it in the corresponding box. The owner simply took the box that was underneath and packed it for her.

After Shen Qingqing took it, she turned around and pointed at the red disc and said, "Auntie, can you help me get the red Crazy English disc?"

The disc was placed a little high, so the owner climbed up with a ladder and took it down for her.

After getting it, Shen Qingqing said a little embarrassedly, "I also want the green one over there."

The owner smiled helplessly and moved the ladder over to get it for Shen Qingqing.

Because in this era everyone learns English in school and mostly listens to tapes distributed by the school. Few people come specifically to buy extra English discs to listen to, so the owner just puts these discs upstairs and puts some movie discs and music album discs within easy reach.

I didn't expect to meet Shen Qingqing who came to buy two discs that were not put together.

After taking it down, the shop owner went to assemble the DVD player for Shen Rongzhou. The DVD player, the tape recorder, and the two discs together cost about 500 yuan.

While Shen Rongzhou was checking out, he watched the owner packing the DVD player for them.

The tape recorder and two discs were put into a bag, but the DVD player could only be carried in the arms.

Shen Rongzhou held the DVD player in one hand, asked Shen Qingqing to sit on the back seat of the motorcycle first, then put the DVD player in front of her and asked her to hold it, and then he sat on it.

The father and daughter returned with a full load.

The owner just demonstrated to them how to install the DVD player in the store.

Just connect it to the TV they are currently using.

After returning home, Shen Rongzhou couldn't wait to take out the DVD player and install it.

Shen Qingqing also took the disc out of the bag and squatted beside him, watching Shen Rongzhou use the wires to connect the TV and DVD player.

After Shen Rongzhou was busy for a while, he finally heard him say: "Okay, let's give it a try!"

Shen Rongzhou pressed the power button, and the row of buttons on the top of the DVD player lit up with a blue-purple light.

Shen Qingqing pressed one of the keys based on her memory, and with a "click", the place where the disc was placed popped out.

"Let's play this one first!" Shen Qingqing took out a green disc and put it in tightly, then pushed the placement tray in and pressed the play button.

All quiet...

"Huh?" Shen Qingqing and Shen Rongzhou looked at each other.

Shen Qingqing blinked for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Our TV is not on!"

"Oh right, hahahaha!" Shen Rongzhou laughed at his own stupidity and quickly turned on the TV.

The pre-instrument music unique to this disc immediately came out from the TV.

"Children..."

Shen Qingqing and Shen Rongzhou looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

"Dad, hurry up, pack up, I'll go get the book, and let's see what's different between what's in the book and what's on the disc!" Shen Qingqing patted Shen Rongzhou, stood up, and ran into the room to get the third-grade English book she borrowed from Chen Yurong.

Whether it is the beginning of the disc or the beginning of the English book, they all start teaching from the 26 letters.

Shen Qingqing placed the book in front of Shen Rongzhou. "Dad, hurry up, let's start. This letter is 'A'! It's the first of the 26 English letters!"

As soon as Shen Qingqing finished speaking, a very soft female voice came from the TV saying: "Children, today we are going to learn the first letter of the 26 English letters, which is - 'A'!"

　Sorry I'm late!
