Far away in Moscow

Chapter 61 What is XP?
"Huh? Why?"

"Actually, that person has not been in Moscow for a long time. He is contacting the stalls and warehouses in the market. He said that he needs someone who can understand Russian to help him run errands. In the future, he will help watch the stalls and sell goods. I just... hehe, volunteered." Li Baoqing twitched Xiao Xiao smiled: "I'm now a wage earner, how can I charge him for installing a computer?"

"Hey!" Hu Yi said with a smile: "Good job! How much is the salary?"

"Four hundred dollars in the first month, and five hundred dollars in the second month." Li Baoqing said happily: "I plan to spend the summer vacation working for two full months, at least I can pay off the money I borrowed from you for the past six months. Let's talk about the situation."

"Okay!" Hu Yi stood up and said, "Go downstairs and have a drink, I'll congratulate you!"

"Okay! I'll treat you today!" Li Baoqing turned around and left, then hesitated for a moment, stood still and said with a smile: "Actually, there is one more thing. Dali said that he lived alone, so it's boring, ask...ask us which one?" I would like to live with him in the past, since the rent has already been paid anyway, it would be a waste to stay there. But he is a double room, so we can only go to one."

"Oh. Then..." Hu Yi was stunned for a while: "What do you think?"

"As for me, actually... Hey... Anyway, I'm going to change dormitories at the beginning of school, and moving to his place can just save a year's accommodation expenses." Li Baoqing looked at the ground anxiously: "I think we are both short of money. Living with him...would be nice too. Would you like to go?"

"You should go." Hu Yi stared at Li Baoqing and pondered for a moment: "You two are majoring in journalism, it is more convenient to go to class together. After all, there are still advertisements posted here, so you can't leave. Besides, aren't you going to work? Then It is more convenient as it is close to the subway station.”

A few words touched Li Baoqing's heart, but he felt very embarrassed, so he could only nod his head: "Old Hu, we have lived together for almost two years, so we are going to move away... Sigh, I still feel a little strange." It's good."

"I don't feel good about the slingshot. You just moved two roads away. It's not far away, and you can walk there in a few steps." Hu Yi giggled: "It just so happens that I haven't seen Dali these days, it's strange that his When you move, let's drink a few cups together, and let me taste your celestial girl's scattered flowers by the way."

Li Baoqing was stunned: "Wh... what kind of goddess scattered flowers?"

Hu Yi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of weighing the pot: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"

A few days later, Li Baoqing dragged his luggage and moved to Zhou Dali's apartment.Although Hu Yi was laughing and joking, he was somewhat lonely in his heart.The summer vacation alone is really boring. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and a few Jin Yong novels at hand are almost ruined. Doze off.

Now the dormitory in Building No. 6 has become extremely empty. This building is originally for preparatory students to live in, so in principle, every year after the preparatory course is completed, the residents of the previous year must be emptied.However, some students who have not officially entered the department cannot live in other dormitories temporarily, so some people are still stranded in the building during the summer vacation.

When he was idle and uncomfortable, Hu Yi wandered around the building in slippers, discussed different types of curry and cooking methods with the Indians in the kitchen, took two sips of hookah with a strong fruity aroma in the Arabs’ room, and then went to In the underground laundry room, look at the black brothers singing happily and scrubbing all kinds of clothes with Padfoot.These things that he had no interest in on weekdays have become interesting now.

Zhou Dali bought a mobile phone, and Hu Yi would sometimes call him to meet up for a small gathering. Zhou Dali and Li Baoqing would sometimes come to the dormitory to find him with food and drinks.The three of them drank to their heart's content every time. Zhou Dali kept talking about the happy life in China when he drank too much, lonely looking forward to returning to China for the next vacation; Admiration for the boss and desire to make money.

Hu Yi spent most of the time listening to the two of them in silence, worrying about being nervous after school started, and looking forward to the new batch of preparatory students entering school as soon as possible.

In the first ten days of August, the annual painting work of Building 6 was carried out, and the corridors were completely new, and the building exuded a pungent smell of paint all day long.

Soon, the freshmen began to arrive one after another, and the corridor gradually became lively again.Hu Yi designed a brand-new advertisement on Feifei's computer, printed it out and pasted it downstairs, and gathered his energy to wait for the newcomers to come to ask for help with banknotes.

But everything didn't go as planned.During the two years since Hu Yi came to Russia, taking the opportunity of the popularity and popularity of the Internet and electronic games, the domestic home computer market ushered in a wave of explosive growth. relevant knowledge and skills.

But Hu Yi didn't understand these changes. He went to each boys' dormitory to chat with the freshmen attentively, but was disappointed to find that most of them brought assembled cases from China, and they all talked about computers in a clear way. Willingness to seek help.

After waiting for a few days disheartened, a customer finally ushered in.It was a thin boy with a pale complexion and thick glasses, who looked very nerdy.

The boy plans to install a high-end computer. He can't speak Russian, but he is very familiar with computers.After only talking for a few words, Hu Yi realized that the development of computer technology is changing with each passing day. The hardware knowledge system he built based on the second-generation Pentium processor was already very outdated, so he could only act as a translator during the procurement process. No useful advice at all.

He felt very embarrassed, and rushed to help the boy move the monitor and accessories back to the dormitory, and then watched him skillfully assemble the machine, but he couldn't get it in the slightest. The only thing he could do was to go back to the house and find a screwdriver to help Tighten the case screws.

Hu Yi's face was a little hot, and he watched the boy connect the monitor, turn on the power, and quickly took out the system installation CD from his pocket: "Come on, let me help you install the system."

The boy hesitated for a moment: "Your picture is...?"

"Win98, Chinese version." Hu changed hands quickly, and had already inserted the CD into the CD drive: "This version is very stable and rarely crashes. People who have used it say it is good."

"Wait." The boy took out the CD: "98 is too old, I want to install WinXP."

"XP?" Hu Yi was stunned: "What...what the hell?"

"WindowsXP, Microsoft's new generation operating system."

"Windows...XP?? Got it wrong?" Hu Yi finally seized the opportunity to show his level, and smiled at the boy and gave the boy a reserved look: "As far as I know, Microsoft's latest operating system It's Win2000."
