Chapter 119 Mobile Phone
Li Yuan was so busy in the office that she was dizzy, and finally it was time to leave work. She stretched and thought to herself, "My two precious daughters are about to go to college. I need to buy them good cell phones so they can keep in touch easily. It's a little something from me as their mother." As she thought about it, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth unconsciously turned up, as if she could already see the surprised and happy expressions on her daughters' faces when they received the phones.
She went straight to her usual mobile phone store, and upon entering, she was dazzled by the dazzling array of mobile phone models. Li Yuan pulled over a salesperson and said seriously, "Young man, recommend a few mobile phones suitable for college students. They need to be of good quality. My two daughters are very shrewd. If the phones aren't good, they'll start nagging their old mother."
The sales clerk was amused by Li Yuan's earnestness and quickly introduced the phones with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, we have several new phones here with good performance. This one, for example, has amazing photo quality, high resolution, and the photos can be used directly as wallpapers; and this one runs fast, so playing games and running multiple apps won't lag, and college students love it."
Li Yuan held the two phones, looking them over from left to right, testing the camera function and opening several apps to check their speed. She kept muttering, "This is related to my daughter's college life; I have to be careful." After careful selection and the salesperson's patient explanation, Li Yuan finally chose two phones, paid for them with satisfaction, and went home humming a little tune.
As soon as she entered the house, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin were watching TV in the living room. When they saw Li Yuan return, the two immediately went to greet her.
Li Yuan deliberately hid the bag containing the cell phones behind her back and said with a smile, "Guess what Mom brought back for you?"
Li Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she said mischievously, "Mom, did you bring us something delicious? I can smell the aroma."
Liu Yixin then chimed in, "All you ever think about is food. I don't think the bag in Mom's hand looks like it's full of food."
Li Yuan smiled and took out the bag: "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Look, what's this?"
The two sisters opened the bag and saw the brand-new cell phone, and immediately screamed with excitement.
Li Shiqing hugged Li Yuan tightly: "Mom, you're so kind! I was just worried about how inconvenient it would be not to have a cell phone in college."
Liu Yixin chimed in, "That's right, Mom! This phone looks amazing. With it, I can contact you and my sisters anytime, and take lots of beautiful photos."
Seeing her two daughters so happy, Li Yuan felt a warm glow inside: "This phone has so many functions. It has WeChat and QQ, so you can chat with your classmates. It also has a photo album to store photos, and you can download all kinds of apps, so you can have both studying and entertainment. But you can't just play on your phones and neglect your studies."
The two sisters nodded quickly: "We know, Mom, we will definitely study hard."
Just then, Liu Qicheng came out of the room and his eyes lit up when he saw the cell phones in his sisters' hands: "Mom, all my sisters have cell phones, I want one too."
Li Yuan looked at her son and smiled helplessly: "You little rascal, you're only in junior high school, what do you need a cell phone for? Your task now is to study hard. When you go to college, Mom will naturally buy you one."
Liu Qicheng pouted, looking aggrieved: "Mom, I also need a cell phone when I'm in junior high, like when I look up information or something."
Li Yuan walked over and patted Liu Qicheng's head: "You, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You can use a computer or tablet to look up information, but a mobile phone is just a toy to you. Don't I know you?"
Liu Qicheng was still not giving up: "Mom, I promise I won't play games, I'll only use it to look up information and make phone calls, okay?"
Li Yuan deliberately put on a stern face: "No means no. Look at your sisters, they barely touched their phones for three years of high school, and that's how they got into university. If you had a phone now, would you be able to concentrate on your studies?"
Seeing his mother's firm attitude, Liu Qicheng had no choice but to nod helplessly: "Okay, Mom, I understand. I will study hard."
Seeing that her son had given in, Li Yuan smiled and comforted him, "Good boy, when you get into university, Mom will buy you a better phone. You can play with it however you want then, but you have to focus on your studies first."
Li Shiqing also joined in the fun: "Little brother, don't even think about your phone. By the time you go to college, phones might be outdated. You should focus on your homework now."
Liu Yixin nodded in agreement: "That's right, little brother. We use cell phones in college for studying and for easy communication. You're still young, you don't need one yet."
Although Liu Qicheng was still a little itchy inside, he knew that his mother and sisters made sense, so he turned around and went back to his room to do his homework.
Watching Liu Qicheng's retreating figure, Li Yuan smiled and said to her daughters, "That kid is a clever fellow, but at this stage, studying is still the most important thing. Now that you're in college, you also need to manage your time wisely and not let your phones affect your studies."
Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin fiddled with their phones, replying, "Okay, Mom, we will."
After a while, Li Shiqing suddenly looked up and asked, "Mom, how do I set up fingerprint unlock on this phone? I'm afraid I won't remember the password."
Li Yuan walked over, picked up her phone: "Here, I'll teach you, it's very simple, just click here first..."
Liu Yixin chimed in, "Mom, I want to change the wallpaper, how do I do that?"
Li Yuan said with a smile, "You guys have so many questions as soon as you get the phone. I think you should study it carefully."
And so, the family sat together, exploring the various functions of the new phone, their laughter ringing out from time to time. This little phone not only brought joy and convenience to Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, but also filled their home with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
After receiving their new phones, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent, exploring all the phone's functions. With simple guidance from their mother, Li Yuan, the two sisters quickly mastered the basic operation and couldn't wait to contact their high school classmates.
Li Shiqing sat by the window, her fingers gently swiping across the screen to open WeChat. She recalled the names and faces of her high school classmates, carefully typing familiar names into the search bar and sending friend requests: "Darling, this is Li Shiqing. I have a cell phone now, let's keep in touch!"
Liu Yixin was also standing nearby, intently operating her phone, her face beaming with anticipation: "I really don't know how everyone is doing, I really want to chat with them soon."
Soon after, Li Shiqing's phone started ringing with notifications; friend requests kept popping up. One of them was a voice message from her high school friend Zhang Chen: "Shiqing, it really is you! I couldn't believe it when I saw the friend request. You finally have a phone! This is so much more convenient!"
Li Shiqing laughed happily and quickly replied, "Zhang Chen, yes, having a cell phone means I can chat with you guys anytime. By the way, how have you been lately?"
Zhang Chen quickly sent another voice message: "I'm doing well, preparing to go abroad. How about you? Have you had a good time to relax after the college entrance exam?"
Li Shiqing typed as she spoke, "I just got my phone too, I haven't really relaxed yet. By the way, which university did you apply to?"
Zhang Chen: "I applied to XX University, what about you? Maybe we'll even end up in the same city."
At this moment, Liu Yixin chimed in, "My sister and I applied to schools in different cities, but they're not too far apart."
Li Shiqing smiled and said to Liu Yixin, "You can chat with Zhang Chen later and see if he has any experiences to share about college life."
Liu Yixin nodded: "Okay, I also have a lot of questions to ask."
Upon hearing Liu Yixin's voice, Zhang Chen sent a message: "Yixin's here too! You two sisters have such a good relationship. Let me tell you, university is so free, there are so many clubs you can join, and you can meet a lot of new friends."
Li Shiqing asked curiously, "Are there any interesting clubs? Have you joined any?"
Zhang Chen: "I plan to join the photography club. I've always been quite interested in photography. If you have a hobby, you can also join the corresponding club. This way, you can develop your interests and enrich your extracurricular life."
Liu Yixin's eyes lit up: "Photography sounds good. I also like taking pictures. I'll go check out our school's photography club sometime."
Li Shiqing joked, "Don't just lose interest after three minutes. If you're going to participate, you have to stick with it."
Liu Yixin retorted defiantly, "I definitely won't. Maybe I'll even be able to create an award-winning piece in the future."
The three of them chatted back and forth, from choosing their majors in college to funny stories from high school, with laughter constantly coming from their phones.
