Chapter 92 A Letter
The remittance from GG included seven letters and sixty-five dollars.
Add to the five hundred and three dollars in the piggy bank.
A total of 1,028 pieces.
He held the notebook and looked at the numbers on it.
One thousand and twenty-eight.
That's enough to buy a used computer.
He went to the computer mall.
After looking around, I found a store that sells used hardware.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses was sitting behind the counter, reading a newspaper.
Lin Feng walked over.
"Boss, do you have any used computers?"
The boss looked up and glanced at him.
"Yes. What kind do you want?"
Lin Feng said, "386 or 486, 4MB or more of RAM, and 200MB or more of hard drive space."
The boss nodded.
He moved a machine out from under the counter.
The off-white chassis looks a bit old, with a chipped piece of paint on one corner.
"This machine is a 486, with 8MB of RAM and a 500MB hard drive. It comes with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse."
Lin Feng squatted down and took a look.
There's a label on the chassis: AST.
He asked, "How much?"
The boss said, "1200."
Lin Feng thought for a moment.
"one thousand."
The boss shook his head.
"One thousand one hundred is the lowest I can get."
Lin Feng looked at him.
"Boss, how long have you been using this machine?"
The boss's eyes flickered.
"Not long, about a year."
Lin Feng smiled.
He pointed to the screws on the back of the computer case, which were rusty.
"This rust will last at least two years."
The boss fell silent.
Lin Feng said, "Eight hundred."
The boss glared.
"Eight hundred? I can't even get in."
Lin Feng stood up.
"Never mind then."
He turned to leave.
The boss called him over.
"Alright, alright, eight hundred it is."
Lin Feng turned back.
He took out a wad of cash from his pocket, counted out eight hundred, and handed it over.
The boss took the money and packed it up for him.
The monitor, computer case, keyboard, and mouse were packed into two large boxes.
Lin Feng carried the box and left the computer mall.
I took a taxi home.
Cheng Yuxin was at home when she saw him carrying two large boxes in, and she was stunned.
"What is this?"
Lin Feng said, "Computer."
Cheng Yuxin's eyes widened.
She walked over and looked at the two boxes.
"You bought it?"
Lin Feng nodded.
Cheng Yuxin looked at him.
"How much?"
Lin Feng said, "Eight hundred."
Cheng Yuxin gasped.
She looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Where did you get so much money?"
Lin Feng said, "Earned it."
Cheng Yuxin remained silent for a few seconds.
Then she reached out and helped him lift the box.
The two carried the box into Lin Feng's room.
Lin Feng opened the box and began assembling.
Place the monitor on the table, the computer case under the table, and plug in the keyboard and mouse.
Plug in the power.
Press the power button.
The monitor turned on.
Lines of English letters appeared on the screen.
Finally, it stops after the C:\> prompt.
Lin Feng looked at the notification symbol and smiled.
Cheng Yuxin stood to the side, watching.
"Is that all?"
Lin Feng nodded.
He sat down and began typing.
dir
A bunch of filenames popped up on the screen.
He looked at it and saw that the system had DOS installed, along with several utility programs.
He opened the C drive directory to check the available space.
The hard drive has a capacity of 492 MB, 120 MB has been used, and 372 MB remains.
enough.
He stood up and looked at Cheng Yuxin.
"Sister Yuxin, thank you for your help."
Cheng Yuxin looked at him, her eyes a little red.
She turned her face away.
"What are you thanking me for? It's your own money."
Lin Feng didn't speak.
Cheng Yuxin turned and left.
"I'll go cook."
Lin Feng stood there, watching her back.
He suddenly remembered his past life.
In my previous life, I first had my own computer when I was twenty-five.
At that time, he had been in a wheelchair for twenty-five years.
