The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.
Chapter 225 Buying a Cell Phone
(Thanks to [Xuan Shui Jiao who loves corn rolls] and [Dorothy from Ganquan Village] for the donations (*╹▽╹*))
With Duck Fairy's permission, Fang Tiesheng's wrinkled old face slowly relaxed, and he let out a long breath.
My guess was right.
Ya Ya happily wiggled her little feet. Grandpa Fang was really amazing; he got Grandma Duck to agree in no time. There was no need to worry about not being able to finish the business.
Although Ya Ya didn't know how many things Grandpa Fang had to do in his little notebook.
"Nannan, have you ever seen those big-character posters pasted on the side of shops on the street?" Fang Tiesheng, having fully recovered from his dizziness, turned to ask Ya Ya.
Ya Ya tilted her little head and thought about it carefully for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I've seen them, Grandpa Fang, I've seen several! Ya Ya also saw a big frame standing at the entrance of an alley, covered with those kinds of papers with words on it."
Fang Tiesheng's eyes lit up. It was covered with that kind of paper for writing on.
Could it be that this place is specifically for publicizing information and posting government notices, where all matters, big and small, and government announcements are posted?
He immediately took Ya Ya's little hand, "Then, little girl, lead the way and guide Grandpa to find that big frame, okay?"
"Okay, I still remember the way!" Ya Ya skipped and hopped along, holding Fang Tiesheng's hand as they walked along the street. Fang Tiesheng hurried along, looking around at the shops. Every signboard here was very bright, and the further they went in, the more lively it became.
As Fang Tiesheng passed a small shop with a blue background and white lettering, he stopped in his tracks.
Ya Ya also stopped and looked up curiously at the shop with the blue storefront. There didn't seem to be anything inside, so why was Grandpa Fang standing there, looking around?
Above the door is a bunch of words, among which Ya Ya recognizes the word "China". Grandpa Fang taught her about it, and it's on the cover of a small picture book.
Grandpa Fang said that this is the name of the country in this area, just like their Jiang Kingdom.
When Grandpa Fang was teaching her and Xiaodouzi, he also said, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame."
When the granaries are full and supplies are plentiful, people will understand etiquette and rules.
Only when people are well-fed and clothed can they understand what cultivation and a sense of shame are.
The people here are so kind and friendly because the country is strong and stable, and the people have enough to eat and wear, so they don't have to worry about making a living.
Ya Ya didn't recognize the last two characters, and then there was a really big number 5 above it.
Fang Tiesheng squinted and carefully examined all the storefront signs.
There was no way around it; the shop didn't look big, but it was surrounded by signs, with words written all over the front and sides of the store.
What's their main business? Branded mobile phones, used mobile phones, mobile phone repair, and a whole string of phone numbers.
There are also gigabit broadband and mobile services on both sides.
The book was full of novel terms that he had never heard of or seen before, leaving Old Man Fang completely bewildered.
Are there different types of mobile phones, one for holding with two hands and one for holding with one hand?
What kind of strange thing is a broadband cable?
There was a sign inside the door that said you could receive a huge amount of data upon entering the store.
Can I get something if I go in?
Fang Tiesheng looked up into the shop. Although the shop was small, it was bright and airy, and there were few customers inside. At the far end, against the wall, hung a glowing sign. Below the sign was a counter, and behind the counter sat a young woman, quietly busy with something.
However, I didn't see any of those light-up boards that everyone used to have, which were supposed to have cell phones.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Tiesheng decided to go in and take a look.
I immediately took Ya Ya into this small street-side shop.
Once inside, I discovered that there was more to it than met the eye.
On both sides stand transparent glass counters, spotless, through which you can clearly see neatly arranged palm-sized square phones in various colors, each with a slightly different design.
Some of the phones were still lit up, not only making sounds, but also projecting moving human figures onto the square on the front, which were vivid and lifelike.
There was also a larger cube, on which sat a big-headed doll wearing red clothes, riding on wheels of fire, and with two round, spiky buns.
Ya Ya recognized him at a glance and tugged at Fang Tiesheng's sleeve: "Grandpa Fang, it's Little Nezha!"
Fang Tiesheng was dumbfounded. He originally thought that it was amazing enough that the phone could make sounds and communicate with people who were not visible in the distance, but it turned out that it could also reflect living people and the characters in the drawing book!
This ingenious object is simply unbelievable!
Hearing the noise, the young shop assistant behind the counter quickly looked up and saw the grandmother and grandson entering. A warm smile immediately appeared on her face, and she proactively went to greet them.
"Sir, are you looking to buy a mobile phone? We're having a great promotion right now. Sign up for a new mobile plan and you can get a free smartphone. Existing customers who upgrade their plans can also get a free phone with their deposit. We have a wide variety of models to choose from."
After the salesperson's introduction to the promotion, Fang Tiesheng only vaguely understood, his ears filled with unfamiliar terms like "package," "phone bill," and "data."
Seeing that the old man seemed to be visiting the city for the first time, the shop assistant invited Fang Tiesheng to sit in front of the counter and explain things slowly. Ya Ya, on the other hand, sat on a small stool brought over by the shop assistant and looked intently at the little Nezha on the big board.
Anyway, with Grandpa Fang around, the kids don't need to worry about these things!
Fang Tiesheng had plenty of time, so he patiently asked the shop assistant in detail. After understanding that he could get a free mobile phone by opening a certain card, he became interested.
You also need to get a card, otherwise you can't get the number, so this promotion is really worthwhile.
Following the clerk's instructions, he took out his ID to apply for a new SIM card, selected a basic plan, prepaid a phone bill, and smoothly received a brand new smartphone.
The shop assistant then demonstrated the various functions and software names on the phone to him, but Fang Tiesheng's ears were ringing, and he couldn't digest most of them.
The only things I remembered were dialing and checking the time.
Only then did he realize that it was the "bo" in "bo nong" (拨弄), not the "bo" in "bo pu" (剥).
It's clearly a number that's been pressed, so why say "pressed"? It doesn't sound like plucking a string. The characters and names here are really strange.
After completing all the procedures and putting his new phone away, Fang Tiesheng glanced at the time: 20:20 PM.
The smaller number after that represents one minute.
Now that he has a cell phone, Fang Tiesheng feels much more at ease, as he can now contact the other people who have written down his number.
"Darling, we need to go find that big basket."
Ya Ya reluctantly said goodbye to the shop assistant; she hadn't finished watching Little Nezha yet!
