Chapter 193 Greeting Card War

() In 1995, China's Internet was still a desert, and the three oases of Beidu, Shangjiang, and Shennan had just begun to develop.

In this year, national computer sales were promoted by Xinhua News Agency as explosive growth, but only one million units were sold among 1.2 billion people. In an era where only a few computers are owned by every 1,000 people, not many people can understand the future.

How this thing will change the world.

Just like Zhang Shufen doesn't understand why she spends about the same amount as her own house to buy a "small TV", many people who own computers are confused about the purpose of this thing, let alone ordinary people who have difficulty touching a computer.

However, no matter how useless the reborn person is, they are also aware of the huge power that computers and the Internet will have in the future. This knowledge itself is a competitive advantage that transcends the times.

What Lu Yang wants to do now is to copy this knowledge into his parents' minds.

The digital son in future Chinese news reports has two parents who know nothing about computers. This is a good idea when writing news. However, Lu Yang hopes that his parents can advance in their own career development because of their advanced mastery of computers and the Internet.

Have a competitive advantage.

"Dad, Mom, I am very serious about discussing something with you now."

Lu Yang's expression became very serious, making both Zhang Shufen and Lu Jiangan look at each other.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Did you get into trouble outside?"

Zhang Shufen was a little frightened and her expression became panicked.

"Don't make blind guesses, listen to what Xiao Yang has to say."

Lu Jiangan was much calmer, although he was also confused.

"I started to get in touch with computers in my old factory. I was very interested in this. I found some books to read. Recently, I learned more about it from Sister Zijing. I think computers will be a very important tool in the future, just like how a person can

Driving is a skill. Parents, you have no special advantage among your peers, but everyone has zero starting point when learning computers. Now we have this condition in our family, so I hope you can start learning to use computers as soon as possible. You may be able to learn to use computers at your age.

I find it very difficult, but I still hope you will study hard. Once you learn it, it will be very helpful to you in the future."

Lu Yang rambled on a lot, and when he saw Zhang Shufen's expression relaxed and not glaring at him angrily, he smiled and stuck out his tongue.

"It's a big deal, just learn it. Don't scare your mother and me in the future."

Zhang Shufen pretended to be angry and tapped her son's nose. She was really worried just now.

Lu Jiangan's expression also relaxed. It's not a bad thing for his son to want to learn computers by himself. He loves learning and of course he has no objection.

When Lu Yang saw that his parents agreed, he took out the teaching materials he had compiled with Yin Zijing as a treasure.

At this time, the Chinese version of Windows 95 was not yet available. Lu Yang installed the Chinese version of Windows 3.2 on his computer. He was also familiar with this thing. It was unrealistic for his parents to learn this system thoroughly.

However, Lu Yang just wanted his parents to start understanding and learning about computers. The teaching materials were actually compiled by him after he bought some computer books published at the time such as "Assembly and Use of Computers" and combined them with his own ideas.

Unlike computer books that were full of academic atmosphere and difficult to understand at the time, the dozen-page textbook written by Lu Yang focused on specific applications and was relatively easy to get started.

One month was very tight, and Lu Yang knew that his parents only had a superficial understanding of computers at that time, but after his article was published, it wasn't enough for them to just ask three questions.

On the morning of this week, Wei Zhixiu and Liao Li went to take care of business. Zhang Shufen was left behind by Lu Yang and began to learn basic computer operations with Lu Jiangan.

Lu Jiangan studied with great interest all morning, but Zhang Shufen felt very bored. She refused to study any more in the afternoon, saying that she wanted to change her mind and go see business.

Lu Yang saw that his father still had some talent for computers, so he dug out some boring computer books.

After lunch, Wen Xiaoli said she had something to do and soon disappeared. Lu Yang picked up the phone and called Jiang Ling's home.

"What are you waiting for? I think I've already seen them all. Why don't we go to the store and see what's new?"

When the phone rang, Jiang Ling was bending over the TV cabinet and flipping through video tapes.

Knowing that Lu Yang was coming today, Jiang Ling made excuses not to practice dancing in the city last night. At this time, she was wearing a light pink high-waisted skirt, with her fair calves exposed.

"Lu Yang, come quickly, we are waiting for you."

The princess urged her after answering the phone, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang Ling in front of her, wondering whether to change her jeans into a skirt later.

"The sun is pretty good, let's go out for a walk."

Lu Yang suddenly made a suggestion on the other side of the phone.

"Okay, okay, then we have to go quickly. We don't have much time. Lu Yang, why don't you come in the morning? It's such a nice weather and you still sleep in as before!"

The princess was very happy when she heard this. It was not her character to stay in the room all day watching videos.

"Want to go out? I don't want to go to Yudeng. I always feel a little scared to go shopping there..."

Jiang Ling had been pointing her ears, and now she turned around with a hesitant expression. Of course she wasn't really scared, but the princess dared to openly hug Lu Yang's arm outside, but she could only stay away. It was an uncomfortable feeling.

"Let's go shopping in the central area. My mother has a car that can take us there."

Lu Yang smiled and gave suggestions on the phone. Of course the princess was happy, but Jiang Ling did not insist on objecting.

Thinking about it, Lu Yang and I haven't gone shopping together yet, so it would be nice to have one more memory, even if we have to share it with friends.

Lu Yang hung up the phone and went to the office opposite his home. Only Liao Li and Wei Zhiliang were there.

"Going shopping in the central area? I happen to be going there too. I'll drive you there. Wei Zhiliang, please keep an eye on it. If anyone comes, take note of their name and phone number."

Lu Yang originally wanted Wei Zhiliang to take a trip, but Liao Li volunteered after hearing about it. She was not short of money now, and it happened that a client's husband was in charge of managing driver's licenses in the security department of Xinjiang General Factory, so she simply learned to drive for a month and got one.

A trainee driving license is coming.

"oh……"

Wei Zhiliang obediently handed over the car keys and continued to stare at the back of Liao Li as she walked out in a daze.

Nowadays, Wei Zhiliang's income is better than that of ordinary workshop directors in various branches in Xinjiang. However, Liao Li is the only designer in the company and gets a lot of commissions from every business. Her monthly income is four digits, which is much higher than hers.

.

Liao Li is still a college student. She is not short of money now. She often takes time to go shopping with Wei Zhixiu and Zhang Shufen. Her clothes have long lost the simplicity of a student, and she is more beautiful but also more noble.

Wei Zhiliang felt ashamed of himself. It was no secret that he secretly liked Liao Li while decorating in Zhifen, but he had never dared to make any substantive move. At this time, he only dared to watch her go out.

An hour and a half later, the car driven by Liao Li parked in the parking lot of Xinzhong Bookstore in the central district. They made an appointment to meet at seven o'clock, and she went straight to New Era Department Store.

Fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, and the like are not very attractive to girls in the third grade of junior high school. Of course, Princess Jiang Ling and the others are not interested in going shopping in department stores.

"Let's go to Wangtianmen to have a look first, and then we can buy the book when we come back later, otherwise it will be too heavy."

The princess took Lu Yang's arm generously, and he had no objection. Jiang Ling was always silent outside, and the three of them walked towards Wangtianmen together.

Because it was the weekend, the streets in the central area, which did not yet have a pedestrian street, were crowded with people, and the vehicles inside were like ships in the water where the two rivers converged at Tianmen in summer.

Especially the stalls selling greeting cards at Wangtianmen Market were crowded with many children who came together.

After all, the annual greeting card war is coming.

I don’t know when the imported item Christmas came into being. In 1995 when cakes and chocolates were still luxury goods, the greatest fun for children during this holiday was to send each other greeting cards.

Good friends are indispensable and must be carefully selected. Teachers are also indispensable. If you want to receive more greeting cards, you must send them out more.

This kind of small comparison was once extremely crazy in Lu Yang's memory. He didn't like this kind of activity that had lost its original meaning, but he had to prepare a dozen of them every year, spending one or two months of pocket money, and there were quite a few

My classmates even saved half their pocket money to buy greeting cards.

During those days when February 25th is approaching, there will always be vendors selling greeting cards in front of the school, either carrying bags or riding tricycles. Various stationery stores, grocery stores, newsstands, and even some restaurants will have clothes outside the door.

Paper box for greeting cards.

Most students are not unaware that Wangtianmen has the largest greeting card wholesale market in the entire Chongshan Mountains. Children who come here to pick out greeting cards may have a good location. For example, students from Xinjiang Zidi Middle School in the outer suburbs, the round trip fare is six yuan, plus

I couldn't help but buy something to eat, drink some water, and the money I paid was much more than what the vendors made.

Lu Yang followed the excited princess and Jiang Ling, acting as the flower protector and appreciator, but his mind was not on these greeting cards that were made with little effort.

"Lu Yang, are you here to buy greeting cards too? With us, you can bargain."

Bi Qianqian suddenly appeared, pulling Tang Shan and inviting her with a smile. There were several boys and girls around her, all about the same age.

"Wow, it's big brother, it's been a long time no see!"

Tang Shan's face was full of surprise. She smiled and jumped in front of Lu Yang who was smiling bitterly. She showed no signs of weakness and looked at the two beautiful beauties beside him who didn't look very good.

The faces of the boys and girls around Bi Qianqian couldn't hide their surprise. Tang Shan's parents were not high-ranking officials in Chongxian Middle School, but she had a class-leading appearance and good grades.

There are not many students in Chongxian Middle School who can meet all three conditions. Of course, Tang Shan is a popular figure in the third grade of junior high school. She is also very arrogant at ordinary times. Except for the fact that she likes a senior who is in the first year of high school, she doesn't like anyone else.

It's rare for a boy to be so happy.

What is this guy's background?

Not only are there two beauties around, but they are also favored by Tang Shan!

"Qianqian, who is that man?"

Seeing that Tang Shan kept refusing to listen in front of the boys, several boys became sulky. Several girls were surprised and one of them couldn't help but gossip in a low voice.

"They are all from Xinjiang Children's Middle School."

Bi Qianqian's words came out lightly, and the expressions of the boys and girls who had been pointing their ears immediately became proud again, and they straightened their backs and disdained to stare at the boy.
