Technology overlord starts with baby

Candy held Mo Jingchun's sleeves tightly with two small hands, and Mo Jingchun held Candy in his arms to comfort him for a long time before the little guy gradually recovered.

It's just that when it was time to eat, neither the big one nor the little one had any appetite. Mo Jingchun ate the same food as usual, but felt it was tasteless.

Candy, who usually has to sit on a small bench to eat by herself, is still unwilling to leave Mo Jingchun's arms tonight.

At night, Mo Jingchun's crying made the little guy feel scared, and the little guy seemed to understand what it means to be afraid of losing.

Having no appetite, Mo Jingchun ate half a bowl of rice, then put down his chopsticks and didn't continue eating.

He was obviously hungry, but Mo Jingchun just couldn't eat.

Just then, Grandpa called.

"Hello? Xiaochun, have you eaten tonight?"

Mo Jingchun looked at the half bowl of rice left in front of him, and said to his grandfather on the other end of the phone:

"Grandpa, Candy and I have had dinner just now."

"Grandpa, are you in good health?"

"Hey, it's still the same, it's not good or bad."

"Where's Candy? Why didn't you hear Candy speak?"

Mo Jingchun patted Candy, which was shaking its head, and said softly, "Guoer, call grandpa."

Candy heard the words, and whispered to the phone in a soft voice: "Grandpa, hello~"

"Okay, okay~ Candy, do you miss grandpa?"

Mo Jingchun whispered in Candy's ear, "Yes."

"think."

"Grandpa wants candy too."

After chatting about homework for more than ten minutes, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After half a ring, Mo Jingchun and Tangtang's grandfather said: "I went to your house with your uncles and uncles this morning."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun already knew in his heart what his grandfather and two uncles were doing at his house.

"Although you are not at home, someone must go to your mother's death day today."

"Your uncles are not bad. They accompanied us to the back mountain and spent money for your mother."

"At noon, your uncle insisted on keeping us at his house for dinner. Originally, your uncle and uncle and I were going to leave, but we stayed for dinner when we saw your uncle was angry."

Mo Jingchun quickly said: "It's okay, when I come back from the Chinese New Year, I'll treat some uncles to dinner."

"Well, yes."

"You and Tangtang pay more attention to your health outside, you don't have to worry about it at home, your uncle visits your house once a month."

"The last time it rained heavily, the ridge of your house was washed away by the heavy rain, and your uncle helped you fix it."

After the grandfather said this, Mo Jingchun silently wrote it down, and when he went back, he directly said that he would give the money, and the uncle would definitely not want it.

But my younger sister just happened to be admitted to university, no matter what university she was admitted to, whether she drank wedding wine or not, she had to give money for the wedding.

At that time, in addition to gift money, Mo Jingchun plans to give his sister Zhou Yaling another laptop.

"Okay, grandpa won't talk too much with you anymore, if you talk too much, you children will still be annoying."

"Hang up. If you have anything to do, call grandpa. Although grandpa is old, he can still resist."

Mo Jingchun couldn't help hugging the candy in his arms tightly, and let out a soft "hmm".

After hanging up the phone, Mo Jingchun didn't move the phone on the table for a long time, and Mo Jingchun didn't know what he was thinking at this moment. In short, at this moment, Mo Jingchun felt that his mind was very confused.

At night, Mo Jingchun and Tangtang went to bed early.

Before going to bed, Mo Jingchun burned another stick of incense.

—————

A few days later, Candy has returned to its previous vivacity, but the little guy's dependence on Mo Jingchun has increased a bit.

In the vegetable market, Candy tightly held Mo Jingchun's finger, looked around, and when he saw something he liked, Candy would act like a baby and ask Mo Jingchun to buy it.

Looking at the same variety of vegetables, Mo Jingchun didn't know what to buy.

Looking at the white-haired old woman sitting at the gate of the vegetable market, Mo Jingchun slowly walked over with the candy.

Mo Jingchun squatted down, turned over the ugly-looking cucumber, and asked the grandmother, "Grandma, how do you sell this cucumber?"

Although these cucumbers look ugly, Mo Jingchun, who grew up in the countryside, knows that these cucumbers should be grown by the grandmother herself, not the kind of ripening cucumbers in the greenhouse.

Compared with cucumbers grown in greenhouses, this cucumber tastes better.

"Eight cents a catty."

Seeing the open red convenience bag in the grandmother's hand, Mo Jingchun squatted on the ground and picked it out.

"That's all, Grandma."

As soon as Mo Jingchun finished speaking, the grandmother took out the old-fashioned steelyard from behind.

This kind of steelyard is not Mo Jingchun, and many young people nowadays don't know how to read it at all.

"Young man, it's a total of three catties and seven taels. Is it okay to charge you three dollars?"

Mo Jingchun didn't have one piece of change, and the minimum denomination in his pocket was still ten yuan. Of course, Mo Jingchun only had twenty yuan in cash in his pocket.

The old grandma accepted ten yuan as enough, and after digging out of her pocket for a long time, she managed to get seven yuan together, including a dime for the national emblem that Mo Jingchun hadn't seen for a long time.

On the way back after buying the vegetables, the candy in his arms suddenly asked: "Guokuo~Grandma asks why you care so much about a dollar. If you have a small money, you can have a lot of money."

For a while, Candy really stopped Mo Jingchun.

Mo Jingchun naturally understands the truth, but how should he explain it to Little Candy?

After thinking for a long time, Mo Jingchun missed two traffic lights before saying to Candy: "Guoer, if you have ten strawberries, would you like to share them with other children?"

Candy wrung her fingers and said, "Of course, Guo'er is the cutest."

At this time, Mo Jingchun smiled and asked again: "That Guoer only has one strawberry, is Guoer willing to share the strawberry with other children?"

"Of course not. There is only one fruit."

"Yes, to that grandma, a dollar is a strawberry."

What Mo Jingchun didn't say was that the reality was even more cruel.

For some people, a few yuan can buy two steamed buns to satisfy their hunger. If you can’t even afford a single steamed stuffed bun, you know it’s only one yuan. Why do they care so much about it?

Just like the news article that was reported, you can only eat instant noodles once a year when you celebrate your birthday, but some people say that instant noodles are not nutritious.

Do you care about losing 1% or 2% of the power when your mobile phone is at 100% power?

When your mobile phone is at 10% power and there is no place to charge it, do you care about losing 1% or 2% of the power?

This is the attitude towards electricity, let alone the money for basic living?

Why do people care about a few dollars?

You have never been poor, you just don't know it.

Mo Jingchun only knew that his parents had said about the poor days in the past, the hardships of that era. After Mo Jingchun was born, his parents never let Mo Jingchun lack clothes and food.
