"Wow! Dude, you're awesome! How do you know what's going to happen? I think you'll win eight out of ten times!"
After playing for a while, An Jingzhi had more and more game coins in his hand, so many that he had to use a small basket to catch them. There were already many people gathered around him, and his probability of getting eight had also attracted many people.
An Jingzhi could hit one out of every one he bet, but that would be too conspicuous, so he reduced the probability a little. Even so, it was enough to amaze the people in the game hall.
An Jingzhi smiled. The original owner had been drinking heavily all night, and his face was covered with stubble and looked exhausted, which made his expression seem a little melancholy and vicissitudes. "It's just luck."
"Your luck is amazing. With such luck, why are you still playing the fruit machine? Go play the ones inside and win big money." Someone whispered in his ear.
There are legal small gambling machines in the fruit hall, but the real money is made in the deepest part, and not everyone knows it.
An Jingzhi didn't want to make a lot of money from this, he just wanted to get through the difficult period in the early stages.
He shook his head and rejected the idea. The people around him felt a little sorry when they saw him shaking his head. He still wanted to follow the other party in betting, and maybe he could make a fortune then.
More and more people gathered around, and An Jingzhi stopped immediately when he saw this. He bought three yuan worth of game coins and exchanged them for two hundred yuan when he left.
At that time, the RMB was still quite valuable. The average salary of an ordinary person was around 500 or 600 yuan, and 200 yuan was enough for a bachelor to get by in a month.
But this was not enough. An Jingzhi went to a public toilet, dressed himself up to be even more inconspicuous, and chose a game hall a little further away. He walked down and did the same thing. When he left, the two hundred yuan in his pocket had turned into five hundred yuan.
He put the hat on his head and was about to go back along the street to look for a new house when he suddenly stopped.
"What are you looking at? Be quiet!"
The police are arresting people. The small gang reported by An Jingzhi has been wiped out by the police.
Originally, he had thought about making some money before shutting down the place, but the people who went there were all introduced by acquaintances, and strangers were not welcome at all. Going there to make money might end up getting himself into trouble. An Jingzhi was too lazy to do these things for the time being, so he simply reported it directly.
Five hundred yuan was actually enough for him to last for a while. He returned to his residence and tidied himself up a bit. He didn't take the pile of junk with him. He just picked up his ID card and moved to a new place.
"Originally, it was one deposit and three payments, but it's not easy for young people like you who come here to work, so one deposit and one payment will be enough." The landlord was a white-haired old lady.
An Jingzhi handed over thirty yuan, 15 yuan for rent and 15 yuan for deposit.
This house was what he had been looking for for a long time. It could serve as a temporary residence. It was surrounded by people working, so there wouldn't be any noise even if they went out early and came back late. The surrounding environment was also pretty good. There was a vegetable market nearby, and most importantly, there was a primary school.
He brought An Minghe here and he must let him go to school.
There is only one room in the house, and the father and son can sleep together. If they want to cook, they can also build a stove at the door. An Jingzhi has seen that many people have built a simple kitchen at their doorstep.
He also asked for a desk and stool, and the landlady agreed readily. It was for An Minghe to do his homework.
There was nothing else in the room except a bed, a table, a stool, a coffee table, a few small stools, and some temporarily usable junk that An Jingzhi had picked up from the original owner's residence.
But at least the walls and the floor are made of cement, so I don’t have to breathe dust every day.
After cleaning the house, he met a neighbor and greeted him on his way out. An Jingzhi nodded and greeted the other party, and prepared to go back to his hometown.
It took about three hours to get to the countryside by bus, and then you had to walk the rest of the way. If you were lucky, you could even get a motorcycle taxi.
An Jingzhi was lucky. He met a motorcycle while walking on the roadside. He spent five yuan to get a ride to the village entrance.
When entering the village, it caused a lot of discussion among the villagers.
"What's An Jingzhi doing back here? Did he run out of money again and come back to live and eat for free at Big Brother's house?"
"That's hard to say. It's not like he hasn't done this before."
"If you ask me, it's just Boss An's bad luck to have such a younger brother. Fortunately, he married a powerful wife, otherwise this family would have been broken up by An Jingzhi."
"Although Xiao Liu was a bit fierce, everyone saw clearly how she treated Minghe, and she was very kind to her brother An Jingzhi."
"Who is it?"
Liu Danmin, who was washing clothes in the yard, heard someone knocking on the gate and stood up to speak. "If you have something to say, just come in. Why are you knocking?"
The courtyard gates in the countryside here are rarely closed, let alone knocking on someone's door when visiting.
When An Jingzhi pushed the door open and walked in, Liu Danmin's curious expression immediately fell and she looked sullen. But when she saw that he was holding something in his hand, her mood eased a lot.
It's not that you can't come if you don't bring anything, but it's an attitude after all. My family has helped my husband's younger brother raise his son for so many years, but where is my husband's younger brother? Every time he comes, not only does he come empty-handed, but he also eats and drinks for free. His face is as thick as a city wall.
"This time you've done something decent." Liu Danmin stood up and gave An Jingzhi a look, then took the things in his hand and invited him in.
"Who's here?" The noise outside caught the attention of Boss An who was resting in the house. When he walked out of the room and saw his younger brother sitting in the living room, he looked at his wife with some hesitation.
Liu Danmin scolded, "Why are you looking at me? You don't even know how to greet your own brother when he comes."
Boss An finally smiled, "Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of Jingzhi here."
Liu Danmin took a look at the things An Jingzhi brought, but she couldn't see clearly what they were. She could only see that there was a chicken on the top. She had been married to the An family for several years, but this was the first time she had seen a gift from them.
Seeing that there was food, Liu Danmin took it to the kitchen without thinking.
He turned around and went out to see Boss An talking to An Jingzhi. He greeted him and went back to the yard to continue washing the unfinished clothes.
After the clothes in the yard were dealt with, the children also finished their classes.
From a distance, Liu Danmin could hear the sound of his son crying loudly.
"Mom! He hit me!"
His son suddenly rushed into his arms like a little cannonball, and Liu Danmin hurriedly caught his son.
Ask patiently, "Why are you crying again? Who hit you?"
An Hongguang wiped his tears and said aggrievedly, "An Minghe hit me! What right did he have to hit me? He eats and lives in my house!"
Liu Danmin frowned, "Shut up! Who told you to say that? Your father is Minghe's uncle, and I'm his aunt. It's only natural for him to live in our house. Don't follow the villagers' lead. Minghe is your cousin, and you two should get along well."
