If, after achieving everything you dreamed of—owning a house, a car, and significant savings—you were given the chance to go back to a time of poverty and hardship, where you were even mocked a...
Chapter 6 Qiyuan County
The next morning
A rural bus passes by the intersection
Luo Xiao reached out to stop the car
"Where are you going? The county town? Qiyuan County is five yuan." After Luo Xiao got on the bus, the conductor came to him with the ticket and asked.
"Yes, let's go to Qiyuan County." Luo Xiao handed the other party a two-yuan bill and three one-yuan bills, a total of five yuan for the fare. This was the fare he had prepared long ago. The rest of his money and documents were all in the space.
The conductor took the money, carefully put it into his wallet, wrote the date on a small piece of receipt paper with a pen, wiped some saliva on his lips, tore off the receipt and handed it over.
Luo Xiao: “…” Well, this is the normal operation back in the 1990s. The bill paper is small and thin, and wetting your fingers can increase friction. . . .
But! The top of the shelf that holds the tickets can hold a damp sponge!!!
Luo Xiao took the bill and just held it without putting it in his pocket.
Although he had suffered a lot in his previous life, his conditions had improved before he was reborn, so he is a little particular now. It can't be blamed that he is a little pretentious.
"There are seats in the back. Go to the back and don't stand in the aisle." The ticket seller waved his hand to signal Luo Xiao to go to the back and sit in the last row.
Luo Xiao obediently went to the back.
Sitting may not be very comfortable on bumpy roads, but if you don't sit and stand, the driver may have to brake suddenly and move you from the third row to the first row. In short, if you have a seat, you must sit well.
The car was quite old and the smell inside was very bad. Luo Xiao took out the orange peels that he had prepared long ago from his schoolbag.
These are the oranges he bought when he went to town to apply for a bank card. He kept the orange peels and waited to use them when he took the bus.
The rural passenger bus, which was as bumpy as a rocking car, stopped and started frequently, with people getting on and off along the way.
Luo Xiao smelled the orange peel and closed his eyes to rest.
I was thinking to myself that it was a good thing that I applied for an ID card when I was fourteen. Otherwise, by the time I got the ID card and a month later applied for a bank card, it would be too late. Fortunately, he already has all of these.
Now we just have to wait for that east wind.
[Bang!] Suddenly there was a loud noise, the car jolted violently, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the people standing in the aisle, including the conductor, fell to the ground.
"Oh! Damn, it hurts so much!" Complaints came one after another in the car.
At the same time, help those who have fallen in the aisle to get up.
Luo Xiao's forehead also hit the backrest of the front seat.
Covering his forehead which was a little painful from the collision, Luo Xiao took a breath.
"What's going on? Did the tire burst? It's so loud!"
"I guess the driver braked suddenly and hit my head."
"That's right, it's really dangerous!"
"It's a good thing that we old bones didn't have to stand in the aisle, otherwise we would have been injured. Are you young people okay?" asked an old man.
"Grandpa, it's not a big problem. I just got hurt when I fell to the ground just now. Thank you for your concern." One person replied.
The driver who was the instigator had already gotten off the bus, and the conductor also organized them to get off the bus quickly.
Luo Xiao followed the crowd and lined up to get off the bus.
The place where the tire burst was very empty, with only a few big trees, and the only shade of the trees was filled with people.
The sun was extremely hot, and everyone was urging the driver and the conductor to arrange for them to take other vehicles to the county town.
Someone stood in for him while Luo Xiao blended into the crowd and said nothing.
After waiting for about half an hour, a car came to pick them up.
The car was seriously overloaded this time, but there was no time to worry about anything else.
Luo Xiao just felt like he was a can of sardines, and he wasn’t particularly tall.
I sighed in my heart and comforted myself, just bear with it a little longer, it will be fine!!!
After half an hour, the car finally arrived at the county town smoothly.
The moment he stepped off the bus, Luo Xiao felt that the scorching sun was no longer so scorching. It was just that the bus was too crowded.
"Want to take a ride? It's only two dollars. Where are you going? Get in the ride?"
"Take a car, those who are close will start together."
"Would you like to take a ride?"
A group of drivers on motorcycles or three-wheeled motorcycles came over to solicit passengers. The county town is quite large, and after the rural bus arrives at the county station, there will naturally be people who know how to do business if they want to go to other places. Because this is a small place, there are no taxis to be seen, and almost all the passengers are on motorcycles and the like. The most common ones are three-wheeled motorcycles, which can carry many at a time.
Luo Xiao didn't want to talk, so he mixed in with the other adults who weren't riding the train, and slowly walked out of the station like someone's child.
As they walked, Luo Xiao left the group and headed towards the place where lottery tickets were sold.
The lottery shop is located in an alley on the commercial street of the county town where parking is possible. Because of this shop, the basement garage shop like it has also been driven into business. The back has also become an underground shopping mall, and the storefronts below have become various food shops. However, it is still very deserted now. Its peak period will be when the lottery wins the jackpot, and everyone will want to buy it in the hope that they can win the prize.
When Luo Xiao walked in, it was very quiet inside and the owner was dozing off.
"Boss, buy some lottery tickets." Luo Xiao called softly.
"Ah? Oh, you're buying lottery tickets. Are you buying them for an adult?" the boss asked.
"Well, buy these two numbers." Luo Xiao agreed with his boss.
"Okay, you are really sensible, running errands for the adults. But the kid has good luck, maybe you can win the first prize. Let me tell you, kid, the first prize this time is 200,000, the third prize is 20,000, and the other hundreds and thousands are even more..." The boss took the money and printed the lottery tickets while talking to Luo Xiao about the various possibilities of winning the lottery. By the way, he also told him that if he won the first, second and third prizes, he had to go to the city to claim the prizes, and tomorrow was the day of the lottery, so he asked him to pay close attention to the number he bought.
Luo Xiao nodded in agreement.
Luo Xiao was a little excited after successfully getting the two sets of lottery numbers, but he still held it back.
After all, he was not sure whether he, the little butterfly, would bring about the butterfly effect and cause changes. No matter how excited he was, it would be better to wait until the money was firmly in his pocket before getting excited.
Put the lottery ticket casually into your pocket, and the moment it enters your pocket, it appears in the house in the space.
The boss wanted to remind him that he couldn’t claim the prize if he put the lottery ticket in his pocket and it became unclear, but he felt that it was the customer’s business and there was no point in him saying anything, and then he fell asleep again.
