Chapter 139 Winning the Prize
When Lin Ting came back and heard about this, he glared at his son-in-law.
I have never been late for school when I pick myself up and drop off my children. But I have only been back home for a few days and was called to school by the teacher to be reprimanded for being late.
Wang Xiuren didn't dare to say anything more and could only silently take the blame for his daughter.
It was Wang Shan who took the initiative to admit her mistake to her grandfather.
A day later, Lin Ting put a pink KT electronic watch on Wang Shan's wrist.
"Shanshan, remember, you must pay attention to time when doing anything in the future, and you can't be late!"
Wang Shan nodded solemnly, and then looked at the pink watch on her wrist happily.
She swore to her watch that she would never be late again.
Ever since she started wearing a watch, Wang Shan has to look at the time whenever she does anything.
At first everyone thought she wanted to show off her watch to everyone. After all, she was less than nine years old, and it was understandable that she would tell the whole world about her favorite things.
But Lin Ting soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought.
Their generation is very sensitive to time. In the past, no one had clocks, so everyone lived by looking at the weather and estimating the time.
Wang Shan had similar thoughts before, but no one noticed.
She is actually a child with a special sense of time.
Now that she wears the watch, she has clearly arranged what time to get up, what time to go to school, what time to do homework, what time to draw, and what time to go to bed. She even made a special chart.
The key is that she really followed the form and executed it exactly.
Only then did Lin Ting realize the extraordinary qualities of his granddaughter, and he began to pay more attention to her.
When the streets and alleys began to be decorated with lights and colors again, everyone suddenly realized that it was Christmas again.
Lin Qiu's family had no habit of celebrating Christmas, but Ada invited the whole family to participate in the activities held by their company early on. After all, their company has cooperation with many foreign companies.
After Lin Qiu's family had packed up, they took two taxis to the hotel.
Lin Qiu was surprised to see Ada and asked, "Brother Ada, why have you lost so much weight?"
Ada smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xiao Lin, I am in great trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Ada's wife glared at him fiercely: "You deserve it!"
It turned out that Ada had suffered from gout in the past two years. He loves eating meat and seafood, and he has a lot of social engagements. The consequence of eating too much has led to gout, and he would scream in pain if he wasn't careful.
He ate a few bites of seafood in the morning without paying attention, and as a result, his feet were so painful that he couldn't walk the next day. He went to the hospital, and the doctor told him not to eat anything he was not allowed to eat.
In fact, after about a week, he was able to walk normally again. But this time he was so scared of the pain that he ate vegetarian food for a whole month. He didn't dare touch anything except boiled vegetables and boiled eggs. He ate so much that his eyes turned green.
Ada's wife lost three kilograms after drinking slimming tea for a year.
Ada ate vegetarian food for a month and lost ten pounds.
Lin Ting smiled and comforted Ada: "It's better to be thinner. Isn't there an old saying that money can't buy thinness in old age?"
"That's right! Brother Adada, you should be more careful in the future to avoid suffering from pain." Wang Xiuren followed.
"I will never eat anything carelessly again!" Ada sneered at his wife's contempt.
After the greetings, Ada led them to find a table and arranged for everyone to sit down.
Not long after, Ah Xing's family of five also came and sat over.
After greeting each other, everyone sat together and chatted.
Lin Qiu pointed at the gifts piled on the stage and asked, "Are these Christmas gifts all from Adago Company?"
"Most of them!" Ah Yun replied, "and some of them were sponsored by foreign business owners we cooperated with."
"It's really a big company, and their spending is huge!" Wang Xiuren exclaimed.
There were many large gifts on the stage, such as air conditioners, large color TVs, washing machines, etc., and other small items were piled up into a small mountain.
“Who has the luck to get these prizes?”
Ah Xing pointed to the lottery tickets under each set of bowls and chopsticks and said, "Everyone has a prize. You can redeem it with this ticket when the time comes! But they are all worthless things. You still have to draw the grand prize."
When Wang Shan heard that everyone would win a prize, she fixed her eyes on the prizes on the stage.
"Do you know what the special prize is?" Ah Hao suddenly poked Wang Shan's arm.
Wang Shan turned her head and said, "I don't know."
"My cousin secretly told me that it's a five-day family tour package to Beijing, and it includes air tickets!"
When talking about this news, Ah Hao's voice became louder with excitement.
"Wow!" Wang Shan covered her mouth in exclamation, really hoping that she could win this grand prize.
At nine o'clock, the host came on stage to host the lucky draw.
The ping-pong balls with numbers written on them were placed in a transparent glass jar. She then invited the company's top leaders to the stage one by one and asked them to reach out and pull out a ping-pong ball.
This instantly ignited the atmosphere on the scene, and the glass box was clearly visible, which always proved to be true.
Every table was discussing the lottery. If they couldn’t win the grand prize, they could always look forward to the small prizes.
Halfway through the dishes, the western chef wearing a chef's hat pushed out a huge roast turkey, stopped at each table for a few minutes, and took down the turkey slices, one for each person.
It was the first time for Lin Qiu's family to eat this Western thing, so they took a careful bite with the mentality of trying something new.
Then the whole family spit it into the bone plate at the same time.
Not only is the turkey meat dry and tough, it also has a fishy smell, the taste does not match the color it turns out to be when roasted.
Ah Xing's family had already tasted it, so they just picked it up and put it aside.
He laughed out loud when he saw Lin Qiu's family's reaction.
Lin Qiu scolded, "You are such a dishonest family! You knew it wasn't tasty but you didn't tell us."
"We have to let you try some foreign food, hahaha!" Ah Yun was delighted. "We were just like you last year. We took one bite and spit it out."
The landlord concluded: "No wonder we don't raise this thing in China! It's too disgusting to eat."
Lin Ting took over the conversation, "I feel sorry for this foreigner. He has to eat this kind of food during a festival. He probably has never seen delicious food before."
"I think so too! Come on, Lao Lin, let's clink glasses and wish our two families and Ada more and more prosperity!" The landlord raised the wine glass in his hand.
Lin Qiu's family also raised their glasses.
Two families, ten cups, making a pleasant sound when they clink together.
After the warm-up song and dance performance is over, the lottery will start on time at nine o'clock.
A total of more than ten leaders drew numbers one after another, but unfortunately, none of the two families won the prize.
When it was time to draw the special prize, Ms. Li, the chairman of Adago Company, first gave an impassioned speech, then took out a ping-pong ball and handed it to the host.
The host took the microphone and shouted, "Let's congratulate No. 113 for winning the Beijing Five-Day Family Tour Package!"
After hearing this, Wang Shan’s eyes widened and she looked at the lottery ticket in her hand in disbelief.
"Shanshan won the prize!" Ah Hao shouted loudly.
Everyone at the table stretched their necks to look over, and then clapped each other in celebration.
"I won the prize!" Wang Shan screamed.
