Chapter 226 DVD
"Why is there no response? Tiantu can obviously open it, is it because there is no ink?"
On New Year's Eve, the first thing the boss did after getting up was I just wanted to open the electronic memo pad to see what I wanted to do today, but it took more than ten minutes without success. He flicked the stylus with a distressed look on his face, thinking it was out of ink.
He scratched his head and muttered to himself distressedly: "What a pity, everything is recorded in it. I don't know what to do today. Tianxiu and Achan went back to her parents' house for the New Year again. There is nothing I can do, go and ask. Ask Azu. "This year's Chinese New Year, the second brother and the second sister-in-law took Tiantu Siyu back to her parents' house in Chaoshan for the New Year, and Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling took Si Qi and Zhu Shinai to their aunt's house in Malaysia yesterday. This year is the first time that the five brothers of the Kang family have not celebrated the New Year together.
So the boss Guang could only turn to Azu for help. He walked out of the room and found Azu who was watching TV in the living room and asked: "Azu has something to trouble you. Are you Help me figure out what to do today, I can’t figure it out.”
Azu took the electronic notepad handed over by the boss Guang and said with a smile: "Isn't it right? It's been a week and you still don't know how to use it?" Diana didn't have to go to work during the New Year, and it was rare for Azu to have time without taking care of the baby. He looked at the boss Guang, changed his mind, and said: "High-tech products are for convenience, not trouble. You always trouble Tian'u, what is Tian'u? A primary school student, wait for him to help you, wait for you The machine is broken and everything is delayed.”
“How about this, you can just leave this machine to me. Don’t worry, I don’t just care about my own affairs. I will help you remember your things. If you need to remember anything, just tell me and I will write it down for you." Azu said, "I also have a very important function, you know. I am now the head of the house at home, which means you can find me at any time and I can notify you at any time. Isn’t this much more convenient than finding Tiantu?”
“But. But” Boss. Although Guang felt that Azu had a point, he was still hesitant.
Looking at him like this, Azu knew that this machine was inseparable. He continued: "You also said a few days ago that if you can't learn it in three days, just give it to me. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Boss, you don't mean to keep your word, do you?"
"Of course not, you boss, I always speak with my teeth as gold." Boss Guang said.
"That's enough, then I will help you protect this machine." After saying that, he ignored Boss Guang's objections and checked Boss Guang's schedule, "Boss, you want to buy pork today, and there are I haven’t bought any gifts for visiting relatives and friends tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I have to remember to buy these two things.”
The boss just nodded and told Azu again. Azu wrote down the new schedule one by one on the electronic notepad. After writing it down, Azu closed the notepad and said with a smile: "Do you think this is great? As the saying goes, one family is cheaper and two families are better off, which is completely in line with the new trends of our era. It’s a trend, win-win.”
“That’s it, but it’s a pity that this thing is so expensive but I can’t use it.” The boss had a bitter look on his face, although he agreed with Azu. plan, but I still feel a little aggrieved.
Azu didn't give him a chance to have other ideas, and stood up to express his theory: "There is a truth. I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I was afraid that you wouldn't understand. It's just that I don’t understand, but I have to say it.”
“To measure the value of something, it depends on whether it is valuable to you. If it is useful to you, it has value. If you use it, it’s garbage. If you don’t know how to use it, it’s just like garbage. At least I can help you remember something, so it’s still useful to you.”
I have to say that what Azu said is not completely unreasonable. Although Azu did not do the right thing by trying to steal Big Brother Guang's things, he was right. If the thing was in Big Brother Guang's hands, Big Brother Guang wouldn't be able to use it. It was just a decoration.
On the night of New Year's Eve, without Erlao's family and Kang Qirui's family, the Kang family was obviously not as lively as in previous years. In fact, Sachiko also wanted to go back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year, but it was not convenient to travel by car or plane because of her young age, so she gave up. However, she had already made the decision to go back to her parents' home for the New Year next year. Anyway, she was not responsible for it and she was not afraid. Lao Dou’s mother blamed. At 8:30 pm, Kang Qirui made a video call back from Malaysia. He made the call to Azu’s computer. Mother Dou and the boss Guang Xianglan were all gathered in front of Azu's computer, and on the other end of the phone were Kang Qirui, Zhu Wanling, Kang Siqi, and sisters Zhu Shinai, who were also a different kind of five-v-five.
(A little trivia: The concept of video phone was born in the 1950s. In 1964, Bell Labs officially proposed a related solution for video phone. In the late 1980s, video phone was first implemented , became popular in many countries in the 1990s)
(In many TVB TV series in the 1990s, there were scenes of video calls between characters through computers, such as the forensic record released in 1997.)
After Gangguang and Xianglan returned to the room, Xianglan was still immersed in the excitement of high-tech products. She and Gangguang said: "It will be the first day of the Lunar New Year next year. How about we buy a computer to celebrate the New Year?" ?”
“Huh? It’s useless for us to buy that thing.” He thought about it and said, “Why don’t we buy a VCD machine? It’s nice to play those feature films in the room. How about we buy a VCD player?”
“VCD? That’s fine.” It's really useless. It's not bad to buy a VCD and watch movies every day. She turned around and thought about it, and said: "Hey, husband, I heard before that there is something called DVD, which is better than VCD. The image is clearer. How about we buy a DVD in one step?"
The boss just nodded. Now they have made some money. If they want to buy it, of course they have to buy the most advanced one. Anyway, it won’t be much different. The next day they went to buy the DVD. They were given a 20% discount on the first day of the new year. They were so happy that they stopped shopping at Pandan Street. They just wanted to go home and try out how good this DVD was.
"Honey, I heard Azu say that these high-tech things will break easily if they are not used, so let's quickly connect them online and watch the feature film, hahaha." The boss immediately turned on the machine as soon as he got home. I dismantled it and put it next to the TV.
Xianglan was naturally anxious. She helped the boss connect the cables and immediately turned on the phone to watch. As soon as she started watching, she frowned and said, "Honey, are you buying Animal World?" Tianyou, who was nearby, thought the lions and tigers on the TV screen were interesting, and kept clapping his hands next to him.
"There is no reason. What I bought is a feature film." The boss was also confused. He thought for a while and said, "I understand. Now everything has to be advertised. After the advertising, it will be I read a story.”
After playing it for half an hour, it was still Animal World. The boss couldn’t stand it anymore. He got up and adjusted the DVD cable. Now it was better. Animal World was gone. But there was a sports competition. "Honey, did we buy a parallel import?" He was immediately confused.
"I wonder if this is the original content of the TV?" Xianglan guessed. She picked up the remote control and pressed it. Sure enough, it changed the channel. This shows that the boss Guang didn't change the channel at all. The DVD and TV are connected successfully.
"There is no reason. I obviously followed the instructions to connect the wires. How could it be possible that the connection was not successful?" The boss said stiffly, not wanting to admit that he had not connected successfully.
"But now you can use the remote control to change the channel. What we watch is the content of the original TV station." Xianglan looked at the boss Guang and said seriously.
The boss didn’t say anything harsh now.
