Cultivation Shura Field

The mother and daughter turned around, both with surprised expressions.

Song Xingye asked subconsciously: "You are not here to buy a computer again, are you?"

Xu Zhe secretly sighed - this is what he was afraid of. It's okay now that his father is not around, but if he was around, wouldn't it be exposed?

He knew very well that he still had to visit many stores and choose many computer accessories. Since Song Xingye and her mother were here, they would inevitably run into each other later. If that happened, he would naturally ask questions like "What are you doing here?" "Buying a computer? You bought one half a year ago, and you want to buy one again now?"

If you tell a lie at the beginning, you will have to put more effort into covering up the lie later.

Xu Zhe had no personal experience of this, as he had few interpersonal relationships in his previous life. But now, he had learned a lesson.

He thought about it for a while, and finally said, "Actually, my dad doesn't know that I bought a computer before. So please, if you see him later, don't tell him, okay?"

Aunt Li suddenly realized: "I see, your dad doesn't know you already have one, so he brings you here to buy a computer as a reward for you, right?"

Xu Zhe nodded.

Aunt Li smiled and said, "There's no need to hide it from him. After all, your grades this semester are solid."

Xu Zhe sighed: "But I have kept it a secret from them for a semester. If possible, I want to keep it a secret from them and not let them know."

Aunt Li suddenly became curious: "I heard from Xiaoye that you bought the computer not for playing games, but for programming?"

"Yes."

Bitcoin mining is difficult to explain, so of course I will just talk about programming.

Song Xingye suddenly interrupted, "But since your father is willing to buy it for you, that means he doesn't mind you using the computer, right? Do you really want to hide it from me?"

Xu Zhe thought about it.

He had planned to buy a computer without telling his parents about it half a year ago. Now... was there any need to change it? It seemed that there was no need to hide it, but it also seemed that there was no need to confess it.

So after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Don't tell him, please."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Of course I will cooperate with you. It's not a big deal."

Song Xingye suddenly asked: "Don't you want to know why my mother and I are here?"

Chapter 45 Find Yourself

2023-09-06

"Don't you want to know what my mother and I are doing here?"

Since the girl said so, Xu Zhe also guessed: "Buy a computer?"

Song Xingye: "How smart! How did you guess that?"

Xu Zhe: "Because you have a cell phone and an MP3 player, I can't think of anything else you need besides a computer."

Aunt Li said: "I think what Xu Zhe said at the parents' meeting was very good. Technology is still developing in the future, and programming skills may be very useful. The computer in our house is too old, and it has been very slow to start up recently..."

Xu Zhe: "So you want to guide your child's interests?"

Aunt Li nodded, and suddenly found it a little funny. "Guiding children's interests" is like Xu Zhe himself is an adult.

She said: "I called her father to discuss it. He also thought that it would not be a bad thing if she could be interested in programming. So I brought her here to buy a computer. Oh, by the way, you know the most about computers, why don't you tell me which brand of computer is better to buy?"

Song Xingye said, "Xu Zhe, what computer did you buy? Recommend us an identical one!"

"Oh, no problem, come with me."

So Xu Zhe took the mother and daughter back to the store they had been to.

"Dad, I just ran into Song Xingye and her mother. They also happened to want to buy a computer, so they asked me for advice."

Having said this, Xu Zhe took the bag of accessories from his father, then turned around and took out each one to show people.

"Motherboard, processor, memory... and graphics card. I chose this 9600GT graphics card. If you don't have high requirements for the graphics card, 9600GSO is also OK."

However, both mother and daughter were stunned.

Song Xingye murmured, "Are you going to install the computer yourself?"

Xu Zhe: "That's what I planned, because it's much more cost-effective than buying a whole machine directly. However, if you don't want to go through the trouble, you can also just buy a whole machine directly."

Aunt Li secretly wiped her sweat and said, "Please recommend a complete computer for us. Installing a computer is a bit difficult for us."

Xu Zhe nodded: "Okay, this is faster."

----

It wouldn't take much time to just pick out a complete machine. It didn't take long for Xu Zhe to help them get it done.

While Aunt Li was paying, Song Xingye walked over to him and asked softly, "Do you want to buy a mobile phone?"

Xu Zhe: "Buy a mobile phone?"

Song Xingye: "Yes, this way, when others want to find you, they can contact you at any time. Feifei and I can't find you sometimes, and your parents often can't contact you, right?"

Xu Zhe thought about it for a moment.

He was not used to the fact that people would come to him from time to time. But now that he thought about it, there would be no shortage of people looking for him in the future.

"That makes sense. I'll ask my dad."

Then Xu Zhe turned and looked at his father.

Xu Guowei: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Zhe: "Since you're here, why don't you give me the whole phone?"

Xu Guowei couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Why didn't I see before that you would push your luck so far..."

Xu Zhe: "You don't need an expensive phone, just the cheapest one will do. This way you can contact me anytime. And you can think of the money you paid for the phone as a loan from me, and I'll pay you back as New Year's money."

The Spring Festival is coming in a few days, and the elders will give him red envelopes of lucky money. Xu Zhe meant to advance part of the money now to buy a mobile phone - of course, if he just wants to buy the cheapest mobile phone, he can definitely pay for it himself, but it would be troublesome to explain the source of the money, so it is better to fleece his father.

Xu Guowei thought for a moment and said, "I can buy you a pager."

Xu Zhe: "..."

Pingguo mobile phones have just been released, and the Android system is even more rudimentary. Xu Zhe originally wanted the cheapest feature phone, but since the person who paid for it only gave him this option, that's fine. Anyway, it won't be long before he will have to buy another smartphone to make mobile games.

Song Xingye suddenly asked again: "By the way, what are your plans for the winter vacation?"

Xu Zhe: "During the winter vacation, I will go to my grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings. Other than that, I will write programs on the computer, read books, etc."

Song Xingye: "I heard that a new ski resort has opened recently. Are you interested?"

"Skiing..."

Xu Zhe had some inexplicable feelings. He had played sports like football and basketball when he was a kid. But skiing was too far away. In his previous life, he didn't have the conditions for the field before the car accident, and he didn't have the physical conditions after the car accident.

Song Xingye took out his small cell phone: "I also want to ask Feifei if she is free. It would be great if the three of us could go skiing together."

Xu Zhe turned to his father and asked, "Can I go skiing?"

Xu Guowei: "Okay, the cost will be deducted from your New Year's money."

Xu Zhe: "You've already paid out the money before you even received the red envelope, right?"

Xu Guowei: "They are all used on you, what else can you say?"

----

After Aunt Li bought the computer, she took Song Xingye and left.

Xu Zhe also took his father to visit the computer city to choose accessories for himself.

As they were walking, the father suddenly asked, "Son, that girl has been your deskmate for a few months, right?"

"Correct."

"To be honest, I'm a little worried about you..."

Xu Zhe glanced at his father's slightly troubled expression and said simply, "Please rest assured, I'm not interested in premature love, really."

Xu Guowei sighed, "No, that's why I'm worried. You don't have any idea about a girl like this?"

Xu Zhe: "Huh?"

Xu Guowei continued, "To be fair, your deskmate is pretty, quiet, good at grades, and looks very well behaved. If you say you are not interested in the girl from Tang Wanghai's family, I can understand. Although she looks good, she is a bit naughty, like a tomboy. But this deskmate... If you are not interested in her, I doubt whether our Xu family will be extinct."

Xu Zhe complained: "Shouldn't normal parents worry about their children falling in love too early? Your idea is too weird."

Xu Guowei laughed: "But you are not a normal child. Haven't you noticed that your mother and I have not taken care of you since you started the first grade of junior high school?"

Xu Zhe: “Really…”

"You said you were doing homework and studying in your room, so we didn't go in to disturb you," Xu Guowei said leisurely, "And that little girl from Tang Wanghai's family always wanted to play with you, and we never stopped you. Do you know why?"

Xu Zhe shook his head slowly.

Xu Guowei: "In fact, it is because of your performance that we feel at ease. From several months ago, you gave us the feeling that you have grown up and become sensible, so naturally you don't need your parents to keep an eye on you all the time. Everyone's treatment is actually earned by their own performance, do you understand?"

Xu Zhe nodded thoughtfully.

Chapter 46 046 Let's Go

2023-09-06

"You are really good at this..."

When Xu Zhe finished washing up and walked into the study early in the morning, he saw his father turning around and saying this to him.

The study room at home originally only had a bookshelf and a small sofa. Now there was an old table with the newly assembled computer on it. After buying the accessories yesterday, Xu Zhe was busy in the study room for a long time, installing a bunch of unknown things, and it lasted until late at night.

On the next day, which was Saturday morning, Xu Guowei got up and saw that no one was in the study, but the computer was there, so he sat down and turned on the computer to try, and then...

Xu Zhe rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked: "When did you pretend to be a link-up guy?"

My father replied, "Just now. Your team's computer is pretty good. It works better than the one in my office."

"of course."

Xu Zhe originally planned to use this computer for programming and mining, so he had to ensure that it had strong enough performance. Under the limited budget set by his father, he chose the most cost-effective hardware combination.

But now it seems that although the computing power of the desktop computer is stronger than the laptop hidden in the bedroom, it seems unrealistic to use it for mining. Because my father may need it at any time.

Or can I only dig secretly with a notebook?

Just as Xu Zhe was sighing secretly, the doorbell rang. He walked over to open the door and saw that it was Tang Lingfei.

As soon as the girl stepped in, she couldn't wait to say, "Xiao Ye Zi said she would take us to the ski resort. You know, it's the new one in the southern suburbs! She said she made an appointment with you yesterday."

Xu Zhe: "Yesterday? Indeed..."

Tang Lingfei: "She said she called you, but you didn't answer, so she asked me to come over to urge you. Her mother will drive over to pick us up later. Are you ready?"

"Wait a minute?" Xu Zhe was stunned. "So soon?"

At this time, Xu Guowei poked his head out of the study and said, "Oh, by the way, your deskmate did call you just now, but you were still asleep."

Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "So I came over to urge you to get up!"

Xu Zhe: "You seem very excited."

Tang Lingfei: "Skiing, this is my first time! Isn't it the same for you?"

"All right……"

Thinking of his first time skiing, Xu Zhe was indeed a little excited, but of course he couldn't be as impatient as a real first-year junior high school student.

Xu Guowei took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out three hundred-dollar bills: "Is that enough for skiing?"

"That should be enough."

Xu Zhe took the three hundred yuan in cash from his father.

Tang Lingfei's eyes widened. She opened her mouth to ask when her uncle became so generous, but she swallowed the words back.

"Okay, I'll continue playing on your computer."

After saying this, Xu Guowei went back to his study.
