Chapter 172: Group Admin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Xiaonuan asked Ji Wen, “When did you get up this morning?”
Ji Wen replied, “Before nine in the morning. How about you?”
“A little after nine,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.
Then, both of them looked at the energetic Old Master Ji and asked at the same time, “Grandpa, what time did you get up?”
“Dad, when did you get up?”
Old Master Ji looked embarrassed. He did not expect these two young kids to get up earlier than him. He quickly changed the topic. “Can we not talk about these boring things?” He did not want to tell them that he only woke up at ten o’clock.
Seeing that Old Master Ji did not answer, the two of them did not ask any more questions. If they pressed the subject, they might get scolded.
“Dad, do you have a messaging app on your phone?” Fang Xiaonuan asked.
Old Master Ji said, “What would I need that for? Anything can be solved with a phone call. Text messaging is too trivial.” The generation gap was obvious. Deep down, he was still very traditional. He was not very receptive to new things. Even when he saw that the people around him were using their phones for social entertainment, he was not willing to follow suit.
A few years ago, Ji Wen had said that he wanted to download a chatting app for him. However, this stubborn old man would not agree no matter what. In the end, he could only give up. Ji Wen secretly told Fang Xiaonuan about this matter.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “It must be that you used the wrong method.” So, she personally took action.
“Dad, do you want to be the group admin?” Fang Xiaonuan asked.
“What’s a group admin?” Old Master Ji asked curiously.
Fang Xiaonuan had wanted to mention this matter during dinner, but her husband kept stuffing food into her mouth, so she had forgotten about it. Now, she brought it up again.
“The group admin is the head of our family. We’ll set up a group, and everyone in the family will be added in. You’re the group leader, so you have the right to decide who makes the cut. If you’re in a bad mood one day, you can kick out anyone you want.”
Old Master Ji had not been a leader for a while, so he was suddenly interested in the group admin role. “Xiaonuan, tell me about this group admin. How do I become it?”
Fang Xiaonuan’s plan had succeeded. She quickly explained to Old Master Ji how to build a group, the rights of the group leader, and the benefits of creating a group.
“Here’s an example, Dad. If my husband has a social event to attend, he does not need to call home. He can just send a message in the group saying that he won’t be home for dinner. Our whole family will be able to see the message. Then, we can inform the kitchen to prepare less.”
“Here’s another example. If I find something delicious, I’ll send a picture of it to the group and ask if anyone wants to try it. You can reply that you’re interested, and I’ll bring some of that delicious food home after school.”
“Also, if my sister-in-law goes shopping, and if I have things I need to buy, I can send a message to the group and ask her to make the purchases for me.”
The more Old Master Ji listened, the more he felt that this group was a great idea. It sounded convenient. He could just send a message and the whole family would be able to see it. It would save a lot of trouble.
“Xiaonuan, then how can I become the group admin?” Old Master Ji asked with interest.
Fang Xiaonuan took out her phone and began to teach Old Master Ji how to download, register, and basically use the app.
Ji Wen, who was beside them, was so shocked that he was rendered speechless. He realized that Fang Xiaonuan was a great talker! She was great at scolding people, insulting people, infuriating people, deceiving people, and coquettishly coaxing people. She was a versatile and omnipotent talker! He had tried for a few years but failed. With just a few words, she was able to persuade his grandfather to download the app.
“Xiaonuan, why hasn’t this verification code been sent to me?” Old Master Ji asked anxiously. He could not wait to become the group admin.
Fang Xiaonuan looked at it and said, “It’ll arrive in a while. Dad, don’t be anxious.”
The two of them fiddled with their phones for more than ten minutes.
“I’ve successfully registered.” Old Master Ji looked at the registered account and nodded in satisfaction.
“Then, how can I become friends with you?” Old Master Ji asked again.
Fang Xiaonuan patiently demonstrated how to add friends and how to send messages.
The man on the second floor stood by the railing and watched his little wife. He initially wanted to ask her to go take a nap, but when he overheard what she was saying to his father, he found it interesting. He had been watching from the start. His father was old and his family had advised him to get out more instead of staying home to read. However, his father was stubborn and would not listen to reason. In the end, everyone gave up. Unexpectedly, ever since his little wife entered the house, she had managed to coax his father out of his shell. He also found that his little wife was very patient with his family. His father knew nothing about changing his profile picture, or how to get the verification code. An impatient person would have lost their temper a long time ago. However, his wife was teaching his father without the slightest impatience. It was clear how sincere she behaved with his family.
