Then Grandma Xia turned around and looked at Qingzhi and smiled.

Xu Qingzhi smiled back and asked, "Grandma Xia, what's your niece's name?"

Granny Xia quickly said cheerfully: "Xia Qin, the qin is like playing the qin to a cow."

"Okay, Grandma Xia, I understand." Xu Qingzhi said.

Before, Grandma Xia was willing to rent the land to her at a very reasonable price. Xu Qingzhi naturally kept this in mind.

Moreover, after everyone knew that the farm was making money, Granny Xia never took the opportunity to say that she wanted to raise the price or do anything weird.

She gave some of the new rice harvested from the autumn rice inspection to Grandma Xia. Grandma Xia refused for a long time before she accepted it. Later, she also gave her some dried sweet potatoes that she had dried herself.

The people of the Xia family have a good family background and their character is not too bad.

…

Star City.

Xia Qin and her colleagues came out of the conference room, each with a worried look on their face.

Because the people in their department are facing optimization and layoffs, the human resources department just issued a notice at the meeting.

Several people don't need to come next Monday.

The company will compensate according to N+1.

Xia Qin remembered the resume she had submitted some time ago, and when she opened the recruitment platform, she found that all the recruitment information for Fuwang Farm had been removed.

She opened her phone again and looked at the resume she had sent to Yunqi Live, but still hadn't received any response.

She sighed inwardly and looked at the flashing WeChat group avatars of her department on her computer.

Everyone was no longer in the mood to work and planned to go out singing and eating together after work today.

Colleagues have worked together for as short as half a year or as long as several years. Now that the department is disbanding, the farewell dinner still has to be held.

The company is located in the central area of ​​Star City, close to ifs, and surrounded by a mature business district.

After work, the meal place we set up is not far from here, just a dozen minutes' walk away.

We walked together and chatted as we walked.

Complaining about the company and the employees are common topics at this time.

I came across a welfare lottery shop on the roadside. I don’t know who suggested it first, but I went in and scratched one.

The group of people went into the store and each picked a scratch ticket. The department manager, who had always been stingy and had to pay for two kids with a mortgage, was generous this time and bought the scratch tickets for everyone.

The fat guy next to Xia Qin scratched the fastest and said happily, "I won, twenty dollars."

"I won, too. Ten dollars."

"I have ten too."

At this moment, a girl next to him suddenly screamed: "Oh my god!!! Ahhhhhh!!! I won the jackpot!!!"

The person next to him quickly came over and asked, "How much?"

"One hundred thousand!"

The male student next to him raised his voice: "You mean Duo Shao?"

The girl said excitedly: "One hundred thousand, I won one hundred thousand!"

A female colleague who was close to the girl who won the prize came over to take a look and grabbed her arm, “Your luck is so good!”

Male colleague: "This is the first time I've won a real scratch lottery jackpot."

The owner of the lottery shop came over and said, "You are so lucky. I will print a banner and hang it at the door."

The store manager said: "It was this girl who won 100,000 yuan."

Xia Qin looked at the scratch-off lottery ticket in her hand that hadn't won a penny.

After all this, many of the other colleagues got the first and last prizes, but she, two other boys and a female colleague Yaya were the only ones who didn't get the first prize. They were quite unlucky.

The store manager was still saying that they were very lucky, that as a group of people, the winning rate was so high, they were very lucky.

Xia Qin lamented in her heart that although her own failure was terrible, the success of others was even more worrying.

Good luck never comes to me, even since I was a child.

The girl who won 100,000 yuan asked about the prize redemption procedure and went to eat. She also said that she could eat as much as she wanted tonight and she would pay the bill.

Originally, this farewell dinner was to be shared by all parties.

Now that someone was treating her, Xia Qin thought it was a lucky little thing.

After dinner, everyone walked to the KTV that they had booked in advance.

After working for a few years, this has become a place I often go to. In the past, whenever there was an event, karaoke was a must.

The waiter brought in drinks, fruits, and popcorn, and reminded us, "Today is Friday, there will be a lottery ticket in the evening, you can use this card to get it."

As he spoke, he gave each person a card.

The microphone master had already gone to order songs. A female colleague pulled Xia Qin to get the lottery tickets, and the group went to get them in batches.

The lottery ticket is divided into two sides. You take one half and put the other half into the lottery tube on the side. They said that the lottery will be held at nine o'clock and you need to be present in person, otherwise the prize will be invalid and will be drawn again.

It's only half past seven now. This is an outdoor venue. The host is hosting a shake activity up there, and a large group of people are standing below.

The host said passionately: "Everyone, please scan the QR code below and join our shake event. The top three people who shake the most times can take the doll behind me. Come and join us."

Yaya, a female colleague next to Xia Qin, looked at the 'Rogue Rabbit' doll and was obviously very interested. She pulled Xia Qin and said, "Play with it for a while before going over. Anyway, the microphone master won't be able to sing a few more songs. If he sings to his heart's content, he won't be able to give him the microphone."

Xia Qin accompanied her.

After a ten-second countdown, everyone in the audience started shaking their phones frantically.

On the big screen above, the nicknames and avatars of the top ten kept flashing, and the competition was really fierce.

Xia Qin’s hands were sore from shaking, and she wasn’t even in the top ten.

Yaya was ranked eighth, but unfortunately only the top three would get prizes.

Yaya sighed, "Oh, I didn't win the scratch lottery. I can't get a doll in this game that relies on ability. Let's go, let's go back and sing."

Back in the box, a song called "Parting with Good Intentions" was playing.

"Are you so surprised that you can't speak? Yes, I mean, do you want to break up? I was tamed by you like a sheep..."

The singer was Ayong, with whom he broke up a while ago.

I heard that he and his girlfriend had been dating since college, but they broke up because they were apart for too long.

The girl felt that there was no future for them, and the boy faced reality and didn't want to drag her down, so they broke up peacefully. The heart-wrenching pain only existed in the few words he uttered after drinking.

Xia Qin sat on the soft leather sofa, looking up at the ceiling, with singing in her ears, her mind empty, and she was completely confused about her future.

During the performance, she sang along to a few songs.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Yaya dragged her to watch the lottery again. She gave all the other tickets in the box to Yaya and sent her her own code via WeChat to prevent confusion.

On the stage, a round of the balloon-stomping game had just ended.

The host took out the lottery tube and started to create an atmosphere.
