"What are you thinking about?" Lin Lin asked with a smile, looking at Zhang Zhong sitting across from him holding a cup of coffee.
"It's nothing. Pengpeng is practicing singing recently. I'm wondering if I should find a music teacher for her."
"Tsk tsk, the little girl's hobbies have changed? Have you stopped learning to draw?"
"No, just to cope with the school performance."
Children's Day is coming in a few days. Last year, Pengpeng and Minya performed a show together. This year, their old partners were assigned another task.
Teacher Qin asked the two of them to sing a children's song. Pengpeng was a little bit embarrassed about this because she was not very good at music.
Zhang Zhong was helpless, after all, he had no musical talent.
Xu Yuhan is a little better than Zhang Zhong, but only a little better. She is only at the level of a KTV Maiba. She is still not good at teaching children to sing, so Pengpeng and Minya will practice singing chorus at school after school.
They were not idle even when they got home. There was no teacher to teach them, so they just studied from the videos.
After hearing what Zhang Zhong said about the situation, Lin Lin said, "It's better to let Qin Qing teach. She is a professional after all."
Zhang Zhong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are only two days left, let them practice by themselves. What's the situation between you and her now?"
Lin Lin shrugged his shoulders, "My good friend, she asked me to recommend a mobile phone to her. The screen of her previous mobile phone was broken and it was difficult to use. She is worried about changing her phone."
"It's not easy. Those are the most popular models right now. The one you are using now is pretty good."
"It would be so simple. Her budget is only 1,500 yuan. You know, I have never touched a mobile phone below 1,500 yuan. I checked online before. The recommendations online are all in a mess. I don't know which one is real and which one is fake.
.I posted a post on the forum before, asking for recommendations for good mobile phones under 1,500 yuan. What do you think the people on the forum said?"
Zhang Zhong took a sip of coffee, smiled and said, "What else can I say? I must be mocking you."
Lin Lin gave a thumbs up, "You are right, those guys are all mocking me, saying that they want to buy a good mobile phone for less than 1,500 yuan. They are just wishful thinking and want me to go back and play in the mud. Damn, when will I do it?"
I’ve been so angry.”
"So, no matter what you do, you must use some strategy. The question you asked in this post is wrong, and you don't blame others for mocking you."
"Oh? How else could I ask?"
Zhang Zhong gave him advice, "Don't ask what good mobile phone can be bought for less than 1,500 yuan? Just post that all mobile phones under 1,500 yuan are junk."
Lin Lin asked doubtfully, "Is this okay?"
"Trust me, you will get the answer."
"Okay, I'll try it now." Lin Lin took out his cell phone doubtfully, then went to the forum and posted the post as Zhang Zhong said. After posting, he said, "It's done, I'll check it out later."
Half an hour later, Lin Lin picked up the phone again.
"Here I go, so many replies in half an hour? Let me see what they got back?"
[Haha, mobile phones priced below 1,500 yuan are garbage. That’s because you have never used xxx mobile phone. The official website price is 1,280 yuan, and there are many 2,000 yuan mobile phones. 】
[Xiaobai, don’t show your lower limit. You think those fruit machines are good mobile phones. I tell you that a thousand dollars can create miracles.]
[To talk about the price without mentioning the purpose is to be a fool. If you want to listen to music, then the 998 Nanfeng 456 is completely sufficient. It is easier to use than those 3,000 to 5,000 yuan mobile phones. Its...]
【If you want to play games, then...】
【If you want to take pictures...】
[I’m afraid Xiaobai only knows those mobile phones that advertise every day.]
…
Lin Lin was dumbfounded as he looked at the comments one by one. He gave Zhang Zhong a thumbs up again: "Great!"
Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Huh."
Lin Lin nodded in agreement, "Yes, man."
Zhang Zhong picked up the coffee cup and looked out the window again. The coffee shop they were in was in a very remote alley. The shop was run by a couple in their thirties. Although there were not many customers, the two of them seemed to be there all the time.
Busy.
Occasionally, you can hear wives complaining that their husbands' newly brewed coffee doesn't taste good. It seems like they are experimenting with new products, or maybe this is their normal life.
Opposite the glass window are old residential buildings that are connected together. It is now past ten o'clock, and the steamed bun shop opposite is still steaming with customers. Zhang Zhong guesses that the steamed buns from that bun shop must be very good.
Pedestrians here walk slower than people outside the alley. Although there is only a dozen meters apart, the inside and outside of the alley are like two different worlds.
It seems that the impetuousness of the outside world is blocked by the greenery beside the road, and there is no way to invade this pure land.
Lin Lin, who was reading the comments, looked up and saw Zhang Zhong's expression, and said with a smile, "It's not bad here. I found it with great difficulty. Every time I sit in this position and drink coffee, I always feel that I am in a much better mood. It seems to be a good place."
Everything has slowed down a lot. People live in such a hurry now. I remember when I was a kid, everyone lived like this slowly and in an orderly manner."
Zhang Zhong nodded in agreement, "It does feel a bit like the past."
"Ah, I really want to go back to the past. Everything was done slowly. It was so good. I can't go back. Look at the people on the forum. Each one is more impetuous than the last." Lin Lin sighed.
"The reason why you can't go back is not because of this world, but because your own heart has changed."
"You are right, our hearts have changed. Even if the world returns to its past, we cannot go back."
Zhang Zhong hummed and said nothing. He looked at the steaming heat across from him and suddenly fell into a trance. He remembered another poem, "Once Upon a Time Slow" by Teacher Mu Xin.
In the past, the sun became slower, cars, horses, and mails were all slower. There was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. The locks in the past also looked good, and the keys were exquisite and stylish. If you locked it, people would understand.
He suddenly remembered that when he first traveled to the earth, it was an era of contact or letter writing. Just like what was written in this poem, compared to Lin Lin who was sitting in front of him with emotion, he was more able to understand the gap caused by the changes of the times.

…
"Wow, has Su Ai released a new book?"
Lin Shu, who was browsing the Harvest Literature website, suddenly shouted, and the surprise in his voice was touching.
It's really because Su Ai hasn't been active for a long time. They used to have a fan base, but then there was no new work for a long time, and there was no news from them. Everyone gradually dispersed. She also accidentally discovered it by browsing the website.
"Were you slow before? What type will it be this time... No, why are there only more than eighty characters?"
Out of curiosity, Lin Shu clicked in and found that it turned out to be a poem.
"I remember when we were young, everyone was sincere..."
