MTL - Go Legend-Chapter 8 Gift
Chapter 8 Gifts
Li Yuanhu didn't stay in the ward for a long time. He still had a big business to discuss in the capital. He instructed Li Xiangping to rest in Jinling, listen to his grandparents, and then said goodbye to the "Aunt Lin" and left.
Waiting for the two to walk away, before Li Xiangping could speak, it was Lao Shi's turn to take the lead in gossip:
"Little friend Xiangping, who are the two who come from you?"
Li Xiangping rolled his eyes: "Didn't you hear just now, I call that man his father."
"I know the man is your father, but the woman"
Li Xiangping interrupted him coldly: "It's nothing, she's not me, okay, Ding'an brother, let's not mention this, let's continue talking about you now."
"Strange, that woman said it was your mother, but it's not right to look at her age. Your father asked you to call him auntie, but you chose to call her sister. So who is this woman? By the way, and your mother? , you are sick and hospitalized, why haven't you seen your mother come to see you?"
Li Xiangping was angry and funny in his heart, who would have thought that the dignified chess sage would be such a gossip and broken-mouthed person. Li Xiangping was not going to ignore him at first, but after thinking about it, it seems that at least in a short period of time, this guy should not be able to leave him, so it seems necessary to let him know about his social relations. .
"My mother passed away eight years ago."
"Ah?! I'm sorry, little friend Xiangping."
Li Xiangping nodded: "I don't blame those who don't know, but you don't need to apologize."
Li Xiangping's biological mother indeed passed away 8 years ago. She died of breast cancer, the most common type of women. It is precisely because of this reason that Li Xiangping lacked maternal love since childhood.
Listening to Li Xiangping's tone with a hint of desolation, now Lao Shi is persuading him in turn:
"You don't need to be sad, little friend Xiangping. After my observation these few days, your grandfather and grandmother love you very much. Even your father, who is rarely seen, still loves you in his words. , so you don't have to worry about the pain of losing your mother."
Li Xiangping hummed softly and stopped talking.
His mother died of a terminal illness, and birth, old age, sickness and death were inevitable, so despite the regret of losing his mother at a young age, Li Xiangping knew that it was no one's fault. What's more, it has been so many years, and the pain has long since faded a lot. Besides, Ren Lao Shi said this out of good intentions, and Li Xiangping certainly would not be inconvenient to refute the words that a person said kindly.
"By the way, since Xiaoyou Xiangping lost her mother at a young age, and I saw that girl and your father behaving intimately just now, could it be that she is your stepmother?"
Li Xiangping said coldly: "No, she is not my stepmother."
"Oh, who is that?"
Li Xiangping finally became impatient, and he got angry at Lao Shi: "Hey, Lao Shi, I said you are annoying? What about the chess master, is there such a gossip chess master as you, who is that woman? , you will naturally know later."
That "Auntie Lin" is indeed not Li Xiangping's stepmother, but after a few years, she really won this title.
Seriously speaking, Li Xiangping doesn't really have much opinion on this matter. This "Aunt Lin" is not only good to herself, but also sincere to Li Yuanhu, especially after a few years, when Li Xiangping is on the 16th and 7th. Around the age of two, Li Yuanhu's career encountered a crisis, a big one. The so-called seeing the truth in adversity, Li Xiangping believes that it was the performance of "Aunt Lin" in that crisis that she won the unanimous approval of her family, and it was only after the crisis was resolved that Li Yuanhu officially married She goes through the door.
But what should I say, although Li Xiangping has no objection to this "Aunt Lin", it does not mean that he is not uncomfortable.
It is human nature to say that he is so awkward. Li Xiangping remembered that at this time in his previous life, he never liked this "Aunt Lin" very much, and always thought she was a green tea bitch. So for a long time, she deliberately called her "sister" instead of calling her auntie, which made Li Yuanhu laugh and cry, and also caused a bit of estrangement between father and son.
And Li Xiangping's attitude towards that "Aunt Lin" just now was purely a result of inertia. He used to have this attitude before, so it's impossible to make a 180-degree turn in his attitude right after he just crossed over? Wouldn't this be more suspicious?
It's just that these things are not enough to tell outsiders. They are private affairs of his own family. Especially now that he is not familiar with Lao Shi, Li Xiangping is naturally more reluctant to talk about relevant topics with him.
And Shi Daqisheng is obviously not the kind of person with insufficient emotional intelligence. He noticed Li Xiangping's unhappiness, and he shut up very interestingly.
"Huh? What is that?"
"What, Lao Shi, what do you want to say?"
"What's on the table, I heard from your father that this is a gift from that woman to you."
"That's what you said."
Laughing when he saw Li Xiangping pointed out by Lao Shi, it was not something uncommon. It was just a laptop. It was because he thought that Li Xiangping would have to stay in the hospital for observation for at least half a month, and gave him to relieve his boredom.
Hearing Lao Shi's reminder, Li Xiangping went to play with the laptop.
"Oh, my dear, it's still IBM. It seems like it costs more than 20,000 yuan to set up a device these days. It really cost a lot of money."
Li Xiangping was talking to himself, thinking that this "Aunt Lin" really has a heart.
Who paid for this computer? Li Xiangping knew that this must be the money from his own old man, but the key now is not who paid the money. Li Xiangping believes that it is only his father Li Yuanhu, he must not be so careful, and he will think of moving a computer to relieve his boredom. Therefore, from this point of view, he still needs to take the love of that "Aunt Lin".
"Brother Ding'an must have never seen this thing, I tell you it is high technology, the crystallization of the progress of human civilization."
Lao Shi has been in Li Xiangping's body for several days. Of course he now knows that this is an old antique. How to describe it? He is like a person who has just woken up after being asleep for hundreds of years. Not to mention a computer, a bicycle can make him amazed.
"What's the use of this thing then?"
"This"
It must be admitted that the question of Lao Shi really caught Li Xiangping's question. Although he often uses computers, to him, this thing is actually a leisure tool, mainly used to watch discs and play games.
Li Xiang rolled his eyes, he smiled and said to Lao Shi, "This thing can be used to play chess, haha, brother Ding'an, do you want to use this thing to play a few games?"
"Huh?! This thing can also be used to play chess."
"Of course, Brother Ding'an, please wait a moment."
Li Xiangping continued to fiddle with the notebook while saying this. It's finally okay, the conditions of this high-level ward are quite good, and Li Xiangping really found the network cable interface. After a lot of tossing, he connected to the Internet, and Li Xiangping began to download the game software.
"The domain name you entered does not exist, please check and re-enter"
Seeing such a prompt, Li Xiangping shook his head and smiled wryly. It is only 2000. The biggest and most popular gaming websites in later generations still don't exist.
Li Xiangping thought for a while, and then said to himself: "Old Lianzhong, Lao Qingfeng, it's really been a long time."
In this day and age, the biggest and most famous chess websites are of course these two, but in later generations, Lianzhong is considered to be in decline, and Qingfeng has long since disappeared in the long river of history, so these two websites can only stay with old chess fans in memory.
It took nearly half an hour for Li Xiangping to finally download these two softwares. Li Xiangping really complained about the speed of the Internet these days, but there was no way. In the era of no WLAN and no 4G3G, he knew that today The internet speed is pretty good.
The poor internet speed did not affect Li Xiangping's enthusiasm. After the two game softwares were downloaded, he enthusiastically said to Lao Shi:
"Okay, Brother Ding'an, it's all done now, do you want a plate?"
