"It's a big deal. It's a big deal that gives me a headache." Yu Chengfei said, "I cover the Internet cafes on that whole street. I make a lot of money in a year. In addition to sharing with my brothers, I still have a lot in my hand. I want to subsidize my mother's family expenses, but I don't know how to give it. If they knew I had such a large sum of money, they would be scared to death. What do you think we should do about this?"
I laughed out loud: "So that's what happened. Do you remember the 50,000 yuan that Chen Xiaohang's father gave me? And the 10,000 yuan that Yao Wei and his friends compensated me. I gave it all to my family without missing a cent, and they didn't suspect anything at all."
Yu Chengfei stared at me: “How did you do it?”
Of course I would not keep Yu Chengfei in suspense, and I told him everything about the lottery. Yu Chengfei was excited and shouted that it was a good idea, "You are the one, Haozi. You are worthy of the white paper fan I chose. I will do the same." I also told him in detail a few points to pay attention to, such as asking his father not to shout about the winning after he knows that he won the lottery. If too many people know about it, it may be exposed. Especially don't tell me my father, otherwise both families will be suspicious. And be careful of the lottery shop owner, that guy will add his own lines, and when announcing the winning, he will ask his father to treat him to a meal. If he goes to the restaurant, he can order the most expensive dishes and the most expensive wine. Fortunately, there are no awesome restaurants in Dongguan Town. If he went to the VIP building in Beiyuan, he would eat up the "prize money" in one meal.
Yu Chengfei smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. As for treating me to a meal, just treat me. It won't cost much." Then he left contentedly and went to prepare for their family's winning plan. As far as I can remember, this is the first time I helped Yu Chengfei, so I was naturally very happy and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The next afternoon, firecrackers were set off in front of Yu Chengfei's house. I knew they were secretly celebrating their winning. With Yu Chengfei's father's temper, it was really not easy for him to hold back and not tell other families about his winning, so I just let him set off firecrackers to have fun. My father stood at the door and said, "What's wrong with Old Yu? It's New Year's Day tomorrow, and he's setting off firecrackers now. Is he and his son both suffering from sleep hysteria? Don't they know it's New Year's Day tomorrow?"
Today is New Year's Eve. At night, our family went to Yu Chengfei's house to spend New Year's Eve. The six people from the two families squeezed on a small mahogany table, and they couldn't even stretch their legs, but everyone was still very happy, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. The stove in Yu Chengfei's house was burning very hot, and it was so hot that I was sweating. In the countdown to the start of the Spring Festival Gala, Yu's father raised his glass and said, "I wish our lives to be happier and happier, and I hope the two boys will become more and more capable!"
The six people's cups clinked together. Listen, that "ding" sound is the sound of happiness.
We are poor, but we are happy.
This night was destined to be lively. Everyone ate, drank and watched the Spring Festival Gala happily. Although they felt bored, they watched every show. At 12 o'clock, Yu Chengfei and I went out to set off firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. The sound of firecrackers in this slum was also one after another. Yu Chengfei and I each lit a string of firecrackers. Amid the crackling sound, Yu Chengfei shouted at the top of his voice: "I'm eighteen years old, I want to dominate..." The words after that could no longer be heard clearly.
After a long, long time, I guess the word I didn't hear clearly must be "Beiyuan City". Yu Chengfei already had such ambitions when he was eighteen, but when I was seventeen, I just hoped to spend a stable high school life.
Although I didn’t hear clearly what Yu Chengfei said, I also shouted: “I’m seventeen years old, I want to take the college entrance examination!”
After setting off the firecrackers, Yu Chengfei and I returned home. The two fathers were already drunk and unconscious, vomiting everywhere. My mother and Yu's mother thought they smelled bad, so they asked Yu Chengfei and I to throw them onto the big bed together, and they went to sleep at my house. Yu Chengfei and I continued to crack melon seeds and watch TV. The rule here is that children cannot sleep on New Year's Eve, otherwise the monster "Xi" will eat us. We held on until three o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally couldn't hold on any longer (it was a miracle that Yu Chengfei had held on for so long without sleeping), and comforted ourselves that we were already adults, and then both rolled onto Yu Chengfei's bed to sleep.
