After lunch, Ye Zhan stood up to say goodbye. I saw him off and then went back to ask my father to see if he had won the lottery.
My father obviously didn't care about the lottery, and he followed me out after I won. When we entered the lottery shop, the owner said happily: "Lao Wang, congratulations, you won the first prize, a full 50,000 yuan!"
"Really?" The father's eyes suddenly widened and he ran over in a hurry, with a look of joy that only a child could have on his face.
"It's absolutely true!" The boss's ability to deceive people is really high: "It's a pity that you only bought one ticket. If you bought a hundred or so tickets, you would be a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire now!" He also took out the serial number of the first prize and saw that it was exactly the same as the one my father bought yesterday. This was naturally arranged by me in advance. It's different if you spend money. The boss is performing very hard.
"So I have this kind of fate." My father laughed: "When can I collect the prize money?" My father has never bought a lottery ticket and doesn't understand the process involved. He doesn't suspect that I played tricks, so he believes whatever the boss says.
"No need to claim it!" The boss waved his hand and said, "Leave a bank account number and the organizer will deposit the money within three days!"
"Okay, okay." My father wrote down a bank account number. The boss carefully put it away and said with a smile: "Go back and wait for the money. Don't forget to treat me to a meal when the time comes!" - Oh my god, how can he add his own lines?
"No problem!" My father said generously, "You can choose any restaurant in Dongguan Town!" After that, he prepared to leave.
I coughed lightly, and the boss remembered something and said quickly, "Lao Wang, there is one more thing!"
"What's the matter?" asked the father curiously.
"As a long-time shop owner, I have to advise you something." The boss said seriously, "People who have won the lottery jackpot will not win again for a long time. Although science cannot explain the reason, it is a real phenomenon. So after you win this jackpot, it's best to take a few years off!"
This is what I taught him. I was afraid that my father would become addicted and buy lottery tickets every day, which would be counterproductive.
But I was obviously overthinking it, because my father said, "Haha, I wouldn't buy it even if you asked me to. Winning once in my life is enough!"
My father and I returned home in great joy. My mother was cleaning up the dishes. Seeing how happy we were, she asked what happened. "We are rich!" my father said happily, "I bought a lottery ticket yesterday and won the first prize today, a full 50,000!"
"Is this true?!" The mother also became happy, but still couldn't believe it.
"It's absolutely true!" said my father. "How could the boss lie to me? I saw the first prize number with my own eyes, and it's exactly the same as what I filled in yesterday. I've left my bank account number, and they said they'll transfer the prize money to me within three days!"
"You have this luck too?" The mother finally believed it, and a smile finally broke out on her face after suffering for several days.
"Hahaha, it was Haohao who encouraged me to buy it. He said that our family is already unlucky enough, so why not buy a lottery ticket and give it a try. As the old saying goes, a blessing in disguise!" My father proudly took out a string of firecrackers and set them off. Amid the crackling sounds, my father looked up at the sky and shouted, "God, you can't knock me down!"
Because of the sudden firecrackers, the neighbors thought there was some happy event in my family, so they came to ask. Of course, my father was not stupid enough to tell them about the winning, so he just said: "I was laid off and my son dropped out of school. From today on, our family will live a good life, and no matter how big the difficulties are, they can't knock us down!" The neighbors shook their heads and dispersed, probably thinking that my family was all crazy.
I took some time to go to the bank and transferred all the money to my father's bank account. When my parents saw that there were several extra minutes in their accounts, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They immediately took the owner of the lottery shop to the most luxurious restaurant in our Dongguan Town for dinner. The owner was also very polite and ordered a lot of dishes. The meal cost several hundred yuan.
My father drank a lot of wine, and his face was red and he looked very happy; my mother also smiled like a flower, as if she was several years younger. This incident swept away the gloom in the family for many days, and there was a happy atmosphere inside and outside. In the evening, my parents discussed how to use the money. I said why don’t we buy a house so that we won’t be afraid of the cold in winter. As a result, my parents unanimously opposed it. My father said: "Keep this money for your schooling. It will be useful for you to go to college in the future."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not like I won't make any money. I can also do some odd jobs outside to earn some living expenses or something."
But my parents didn't agree and insisted on putting the money in a check. My father also said, "Just focus on school and don't think about working. Leave the money-making to me. You are still very young!"
I laughed and said it didn't matter as long as my parents were happy.
My father ran around for a few days and finally helped me complete the transfer procedures. Even though I dropped out of City High School, my grades were there, and Beiqi High School was still willing to accept me, and even reduced my tuition. On the day of enrollment, although I repeatedly asked my parents not to send me off, they still insisted on coming with me. In their hearts, I will always be a child.
Although my grades were good, I had a criminal record, so the school arranged for me to go to a regular class and an eight-person dormitory, where all the students were from the same class. When my parents helped me make my bed in the dormitory, the others were still in class, so I didn't see them. When they finished, it was almost time for class to end, so my parents took me out to eat.
My father said, "Haohao, call out all your good friends from Chenggao and have a meal together."
