Reborn Almighty Scholar

Chapter 238 The Last Year

At the beginning of January 2001, it was the day to register for the Beijing Film and Television Art Examination, but Zhu Sha didn't go to register, and Cui Xinqin helped her solve it directly.

But for the art test next month, all candidates must be present to take the test, otherwise they will be deemed to have given up.

The exam time is on the 4th of next month, which is Lichun, the twelfth day of the first lunar month. For art students, it is still within the scope of winter vacation. Although Zhu Sha is not an art student, it is no problem to take two days off to take the exam.

As it concerns Zhu Sha's future, Ma Xiaolong must also ask for leave to accompany him.

In the past ten years, he added up all the times, and he didn't take ten days off. Seeing that high school is coming to an end, taking two days off is the last time to make use of the rules of the system.

This year is different from previous years, because the house will be demolished next year. This year is the last time to celebrate the New Year here in Heyan. Grandpa, grandma and Ma Xiaofeng all came back from other places early, and even Ma Qiangsheng and Liu Ying were there ten days before the new year. Go home and experience the last New Year's Eve in your hometown.

Ma Xiaolong prepared a digital camera to record the days before and after the New Year on the riverside.

Since the holidays, he has been wandering around the riverside with a few girls, taking pictures of the current scenery of the town.

After more than ten years of development, some places in the town have built residential buildings, but some places are dirty and dilapidated. Compared with the residential buildings, this kind of dilapidated and dilapidated buildings will not be seen after 20 years. It was photographed , is also a rare memory.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the last big cleaning, Ma Xiaolong worked extra hard to clean the inside and outside of the house.Even if it's the last New Year's Eve, you have to finish this journey cleanly.

Li Xin worked the hardest, why is she here?Because the number of days off this winter vacation is too short, and next year she will be admitted to a military academy in the Northeast, so this year she doesn't plan to go back to her hometown for the New Year, and lives directly in the master's house.

Seeing that the master is working hard, how can Li Xin lag behind the master, basically rushing to do all the work, just thinking that if he does more, the master can do less.

Thanks to her efforts, this year's cleaning started early in the morning and ended at noon.

Looking at the spotless cleanness inside and outside the house, my grandfather said with emotion: "The last time I celebrate the New Year here, before I know it, it has been more than ten years."

"Yes! Time flies so fast." With tears in the corners of her eyes, grandma said, "We've lived here for most of our lives, and it's finally coming to an end."

"It's the end of our stay, but it's not the end." Grandpa smiled and said, "We still have a few years left!"

"That's right." Grandma laughed through her tears and sighed, "It's the last time I celebrate Chinese New Year here, so I'm going to live in a villa next year, right?"

"Mom, you and my dad can also live with us." Liu Ying said: "Our house is also a small villa."

"Forget it! How can you compare with Xiaolong?" Grandpa smiled and said, "There is a swimming pool in the house over there, and there are many places to play. Do you have it?"

"Our air is so good!" Liu Ying was still not convinced: "When I get up early in the morning, the air is very fresh, and it smells sweet!"

"That's true." Grandpa touched his chin. For old people like them, air quality is very important.

"Mom, what you're talking about is the old calendar." Ma Xiaolong sipped hot tea and said, "Last year my base began to install various cleaning equipment, and now the air quality in the entire base is no worse than that in rural areas, and even the pollution is slow. Slowly being fixed."

"Really?" Liu Ying was stunned for a moment: "Now the pollution can be controlled?"

"Not just treatment, but also repair." Ma Xiaolong said: "The country has manufactured various environmental purification equipment in the past two years. I introduced them to the base last year for trial use. The effect is surprisingly good. If this continues, there will be another two or three In [-], my base can become natural oxygen!"

"What's that?" It was the first time Liu Ying had heard the term 'natural oxygen bar'.

"That is to say, the air quality in my place is so good. The pure one is like inhaling oxygen. If people with lung disease go to my place for recuperation, they don't need to prepare an oxygen inhaler, and they can live a normal life."

"So powerful?" Grandpa's eyes lit up: "Next year, your grandma and I will live in it, and we will also inhale oxygen and wash our lungs."

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, by the way, I heard that you and my grandma are going to play in Europe after the next year?"

"Yes." Grandpa and grandma nodded with a smile, and said, "I have been playing in China for the past few years, and I have basically played all the places I should play, so I want to go abroad. They say Europe is good, and we also want to see Europe. What a good way?"

"Then you must be careful." Ma Xiaolong said: "There are a lot of thieves in Europe, especially in tourist attractions. If you accidentally pack your bag, you will be robbed, and the police over there don't care at all. You deserve it if you get stolen."

Grandpa and grandma frowned immediately, and Liu Ying said angrily: "The European police are too useless! What's the use of them?"

"It's still useful to fine people and arrest people." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Anyway, if you don't go, there is no reason to be angry."

"No way!" Grandpa said, "Didn't Xiaosha's aunt often go to Europe! She never heard of anything being stolen!"

"Grandpa, don't think about how many bodyguards my sister-in-law usually prepares when she goes out." Ma Xiaolong said: "Every time she goes abroad, she must bring twenty or thirty bodyguards with her. Who would dare to provoke ordinary people? Let alone steal things. Besides She doesn't usually go to tourist attractions, and basically goes to high-end places, where the security is okay, but the almost places are not."

"What's going on!" Grandpa understood, and was a little speechless: "I didn't expect the security environment in Europe to be so bad, and those Europeans don't care about it?"

"Grandpa, if you study history better, you will know that developed countries in Europe and the United States all rely on colonial plunder all over the world to make their fortunes. Their governments do this all the time, and they must follow suit!" Ma Xiaolong said.

"..."

"Or, don't go!" Grandma was a little worried: "Even if you go out to play, you can't go to such a dangerous place. The country is fine."

"This……"

"Grandpa, grandma, if you really want to go abroad, you can go to Xiaotian and Bangzi, and you can also go to Lijiapo. The security there is relatively good. As long as you have money, you can play very comfortably." Ma Xiaolong made a suggestion.

"is it?"

Seeing Ma Xiaolong nodding his head, grandpa smiled and said: "Well, I won't go to Europe after the next year, but go to play with Xiaotian and Bangzi, and Lijiapo, Xiaosha's father lives there! I heard that she gave birth to a baby Boy, let's go over and have a look."

"Okay!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Tell me before you go, I have prepared a gift for them, and I have to ask grandpa and grandma to bring it there for me."

"Okay." Grandpa smiled and said, "You are a son-in-law who has a heart."

"It should be." Ma Xiaolong took another sip of tea and said, "Grandpa, grandma, mom, you should rest first! I'll go upstairs and have a look."

"Go!"

Upstairs, in the study room, several girls were sitting in front of the computer playing online games.

This year Xiaolong Technology released a new online game, the graphics and playability are very strong, and it does not guide Krypton Gold, you can play without Krypton Gold, but the speed is slower, and Krypton Gold can get powerful characters by drawing cards Synthesize, enter the first echelon, and go to new maps and plots early.

Because the size of the game is a bit large, if you want to play it, you need to install the brand new Windows 2000 system released by Xiaolong Technology in the second half of last year. This Windows system already has the functions of WIN7 in the previous life. Once it was launched, it attracted countless computer users. love and support.

But correspondingly, if you want to install the new Windows 2000, the hardware configuration of the computer also has hard conditions, so the scientific research base developed and produced the Hualong brand computers and notebooks that were put on the market last year and became the mainstream of the market. In just half a year, Tens of millions of units have entered thousands of households.

Brand-new computers, notebooks, and brand-new systems have given all users the smoothest experience. The current computer forums are basically all about the smooth experience after the combination of Hualong computers and Windows 2000.

Because the computer hardware and Windows software are too advanced, many programmers are staying up all night to study, and they haven't had a good night's sleep in the past six months, and they are almost stunned by the research.

Many programmers feel that they went to a fake university, and the things taught in the school are too backward, which makes them unable to keep up with the times. Therefore, many programmers complain on the Internet that their school is too backward. You can only work in a 'small company', and it is wishful thinking to enter Xiaolong Technology.

Because there are too many people complaining, even many graduates of prestigious schools think so, which directly affects the reputation of those prestigious schools, which makes the leaders of those schools very unhappy, and even a little bit burnt out.

In order to restore the school's reputation, leaders of many famous schools went to Xiaolong Technology Company one after another, wanting to sign cooperation agreements with the company, such as inviting Xiaolong Technology's programmers to their schools as guest lecturers to teach students advanced computer knowledge and so on.

Out of the idea of ​​expanding the relationship network, and these schools have given a lot, Xiaolong Technology has reached cooperation agreements with more than a dozen colleges and universities in the past half a year. However, in the signed contract, Xiaolong Technology has priority in recruiting cooperation Agreement on the rights of college graduates can be regarded as a way to keep the money out of the field.

Nowadays, Xiaolong Technology is no longer a small company with the same scale as before. Now Xiaolong Technology has built a building in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Piracy can be used for free, and it has also occupied the foreign software market from the side.

Now that Microsoft has long been bankrupt and liquidated, the entire world's software market is basically contracted by Xiaolong Technology, that is, Ma Xiaolong feels that the time has not come, so he has never gone overseas to build a branch, and the bandits abroad who love to install backdoors, Ma Xiaolong But I can't guarantee that I can make money with peace of mind when I go abroad.

If they rob them directly, although Ma Xiaolong is not helpless, it will be more troublesome to deal with, so now he is focusing on the domestic market, and by the way opened up the Asian market, as for Europe and the United States?forget it!

However, computers and notebooks are exported overseas.

Without setting up a factory abroad, it is directly produced in China, and then directly sent overseas through the international postal service.

In order to ensure smooth overseas delivery, Ma Xiaolong directly set up an international express company. This company cooperates with Huaxia Post Office, borrows the delivery network of Huaxia Post Office, and cooperates with some foreign postal companies. It can be regarded as a preliminary establishment of an international express delivery company involving more than 30 countries. The overseas postal network is not making much money at present, it just depends on spending money to support it. When the Internet era accelerates, it will be the time for the postal company to make money.

"Are you playing?" Ma Xiaolong walked behind a few girls and saw them fighting monsters together, he said with a smile: "This monster is not easy to fight."

"It's not easy to fight. I've been fighting for more than ten minutes, and I haven't been killed yet!" Ma Xiaofeng pursed her lips, her eyes were serious: "Brother, this game is fun, but the big boss has too much HP, so we can't kill him." Halve the blood volume?"

"Is that the problem with the boss? It's the kind of boss that you fight with thick blood and low attack. It's not easy for you to die. You beat the boss with time." Ma Xiaolong said: "The blood volume of other bosses is basically only three points of this boss. One, why don't you fight?"

"Hey~" Ma Xiaofeng laughed dryly, and said, "Isn't that unbeatable!"

"So you can spend time with peace of mind!" Ma Xiaolong said, "Keep up, and you will be killed in one or two minutes."

Two minutes later, with an unwilling roar, the boss fell to the ground and exploded magnificently.

The girls happily picked up the equipment and shared the spoils on the spot.

After playing for nearly 10 minutes, the girls all stretched their waists and said, "It's finally over, it's not easy."

"Thank you." Ma Xiaolong smiled slightly and said, "If you have nothing to do today, why don't you go outside together this afternoon?"

"Okay!" After working for a long time, the girls also want to relax. For girls, shopping is definitely the best way to relax.

"Then go wash your face and change your clothes." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile, "Leave in half an hour."

"it is good."

It is said that they will leave in half an hour, but the girls will definitely dress up before going out. Even if Zhu Sha and the others don't use any cosmetics, at least they have to wash their hair, wash their faces, and change into beautiful clothes.

By the time the girls finished their work, it was already an hour later.

Ma Xiaolong looked at the time, it was 02:30 in the afternoon, it was okay.

"Let's go!" Driving the nanny's electric car, the group went straight to the Hongqi Wholesale Market.

The Hongqi Wholesale Market still has at least three or four years of glory days. After that large commercial building appears, the wholesale market will gradually decline. But now, especially in the first half of the year, the Hongqi Wholesale Market is full of pedestrians buying new year’s goods , You can’t get in by car at all, you can only park outside the market and walk in the market.

Although it was a bit late, the girls still wandered around the market for two or three hours with great interest. When it was almost dark, they returned to the car with a bunch of things and went home.

　Thanks to 'Black Tuck' and 'ZHR1234' for tipping 500 starting coins each.
