Chapter 22 Winning the Lottery Follow-up
Even He Wei, who was used to seeing gold, silver, jewelry, pearls and emeralds, was so excited. One can imagine how the other three members of the He family reacted after learning about this incident.

Father He and Mother He were completely stunned.

A moment ago, I was still thinking about saving my son's income, and the family was really struggling. The next second, my daughter told them: She won the big prize, and it was a million-dollar prize.People are strong if they don't faint.

He Xidong was also in a daze, but soon came back to his senses, first went outside to check whether the courtyard door was locked, and after returning to the house, checked whether the windows were closed, and then asked his sister worriedly: "Weiwei, what are you doing?" Did you tell anyone about winning the lottery?"

"No, I'll be back if I match the number." While He Wei replied, she gave He Xidong 32 likes in her heart.How could she be so thoughtful when she was 16 years old?
He Xidong breathed a sigh of relief, supported his sister's shoulders, and said with a straight face: "Weiwei, you have to remember, don't tell anyone about this except us, including your classmates and teachers at school. , no matter how good the relationship is, don’t tell me, remember?”

He Wei nodded.

Father He and Mother He finally found God after hearing what their son said, but they were still too excited to restrain themselves.

"Father, Mom, you are the same, no matter who you are with, you are not allowed to mention this matter, as long as the four of us know it well."

"Dongzi is right. If such a large bonus is spread to those who care about it, it may bring trouble to the family." Father He nodded after calming down.

"But you have to go to claim the prize. There can't be no one at the prize redemption place, and our community is so small, I'm afraid it will spread all over the place in a short while..." He Mu said with a frown.

He Xidong dug out an old newspaper, pointed to the lottery prize redemption column on it, and said: "For small prizes, you can go to various lottery stations, but if you get [-], you have to go to the provincial lottery center, and you have to hold the lottery ticket." ID card... But it is not safe to go right now. After ten days and a half months, this wave of prize redemption has passed. Dad and I will go to Haicheng together. Dad, please take those reading glasses. Go get a wig and prepare two masks, there shouldn't be any mistakes..."

Speaking of this, He Xidong looked at his sister: "After receiving such a large bonus, Weiwei, do you have any plans?"

He Wei handed the lottery ticket to He Xidong: "I originally bought it with my family's money. I'm very happy if you don't blame me. Of course, the winning prize is for the family. But I have an idea. My parents are now The work is too hard, why not open a carpentry shop for them, where my dad makes the carpentry and my mother takes care of the counter. Anyway, with such a large bonus as the backing, don’t worry too much about whether there is a stable income in the early stage. The craftsmanship will definitely attract many repeat customers, word of mouth, and business appointments will not be bad."

He Xidong nodded again and again: "This proposal is good! I agree with both hands and feet!"

Father He and Mother He looked a little embarrassed, looked at each other, and Mother He said, "Is this okay? Since Weiwei bought the lottery ticket, why open a store for us, let's keep it for her as a dowry in the future... "

He Xidong heard the words and looked at his younger sister with joy, "Mom, Weiwei is only 13 years old. It's too early to prepare a dowry for her now, isn't it? She still has to go to college. Besides, if you and Dad open the wooden utensil shop, it’s not that I don’t have any income every month, so I can still save my sister’s dowry?”

"That's right, Mom, brother is right, I'm going to keep studying, the money doesn't need to think about me, just give it to my family!"

Father He and Mother He had no choice but to follow the advice of the brothers and sisters, and began to pay attention to where there was a suitable storefront to open a woodware shop.

When Father He and his father carefully received the large bonus, the storefront was finally settled. It was located diagonally opposite the west door of the community, with a fruit stand next to it on the left and a grocery store on the right.

The area looks quite large, and a wall divides the store into two rooms. The outer room is open for business, and the inner room can be used as a kitchen and dining room.But because this area is full of old houses that are about to be demolished, the rent is much cheaper than the storefronts in other streets, and the owner has a house upstairs, which is also ready to be rented out. After discussion, the family of four decided unanimously Return the original house and move here.

In fact, according to He Wei's thinking, it would be great to just pick a prime location to buy a commercial and residential apartment. If you have money and don't spend it, why should you still deposit it in the bank?
Needless to say, Father He and Mother He really meant this, and set aside more than 5 yuan as the capital of opening the store, and the rest was going to be saved in the name of He Wei, but He Wei refused. In the end, Father He and Mother took the money It was divided into three shares, two shares of 80 yuan, and fixed deposits were made for the son and daughter respectively, and the rest was kept as a current deposit as the working capital of the store.

No matter how the He Wei brothers and sisters objected, the couple was determined not to change this time.

On the one hand, if you can keep a low profile about winning a big prize, you can keep a low profile. Many residents in this area know that their families are not rich, and suddenly they are buying houses and shops. Who knows what troubles will arise.

On the other hand, in their opinion, this way is the safest way. The money is put in the bank, which is safe and can earn more than [-] yuan a year in interest, which is safer than any investment.

I survived when I had no money before, and now I still have more than [-] demand deposits by my side. Don't mention how confident I am. The couple are like chicken blood. Not only are they more motivated than before, they also look younger Not a lot.

Regarding this, the brothers and sisters didn't say any more, and they both had their own calculations in their hearts. The older brother thought: When the younger sister gets married, I must save a dowry of more than 80 yuan to give her a beautiful life. get married.The younger sister is thinking: After a few years of embroidery work, I should be able to save 80 yuan, right?At that time, I will use the money I saved to buy a new house for my parents...

During this period, He Xidong's return to school was also put on the agenda ahead of schedule.

Although the third year of junior high school has been in school for more than two months, He Xidong has been self-studying the third year of junior high school in private. After talking to the principal about his plan to return to school, he sat in the principal's office and completed a report about the beginning of the third year of junior high school. The test paper of the classroom content, scored more than [-] points, and was directly included in the third year of junior high school.

He's father and mother's worries are finally settled.

He Wei's mind was also cleared - the hand-embroidered Guanyin was completed.

However, since He Xidong returned to school, he went to and from school every day, and the siblings were together.

Needless to say, going to school, even after school, He Wei was taken to the playground by the physical education teacher for jogging and boxing exercises, He Xidong was not in a hurry to go home, and played football or basketball with a few boys in the same grade , in short, every day, I will wait for her to go home together after the end.

In this way, it would not be so easy for her to sneak to Yuxiu Pavilion during the time after school.

Until Saturday afternoon, Father He and Mother He had been preparing for the opening of the store for the past few days since they received their business license. Wei was relieved, and not long after he left, she also brought the completed hand-embroidered Guanyin to Yuxiu Pavilion.

Tao Defu has been looking forward to Hewei's appearance these days, because the time given by Boss Yuan is running out, so when he saw Hewei entering the store, he happily greeted him from behind the counter.

"Xiaohe is here? Come and sit inside!"

Todd Forton led her directly into his office without a pause.

In front of the counter, the customers who were picking out antique embroidery saw this, and curiously asked Zhou An who was receiving them: "Is this little girl a distinguished customer of your shop? It seems that your shopkeeper is so enthusiastic about her."

Zhou An showed his usual smile: "You can say that." But he said in his heart: not only the distinguished customers of our shop, but also the lucky cat of our shop.

He Wei sat on the single sofa, holding the top-quality Pu'er that Tao Defu was brewing and pouring with both hands, sniffed it contentedly, and then began to sip it in small sips.

Tao Defu stood in front of the window admiring the Avalokitesvara statue completed by He Wei with ancient embroidery.

The fine autumn sun sprinkled into the room mottledly, refracted with the golden lotus throne embroidered with silk base material and mulberry silk thread on the embroidered statue, and gave off a shining brilliance, making people feel that what is bathed is not the sun, but the light of Buddha.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! It's worthy of ancient embroidery!"

Even Tao Defu, who has seen a lot of high-quality embroidery, can't help sighing at this moment: "It's not even framed yet, so I can get full marks. Once it's framed, I don't want to give it to others."

He Wei said with a smile: "Boss Tao has praised the prize, and this is also inseparable from the quality of the base material and embroidery thread."

"That's right. The base materials and embroidery threads in our store are definitely the best quality among the peers, so the cost is also high. Some people who don't know how to do it want to buy it, but they think the things in our store are expensive, so they can't agree on a price. , and swearing at the guys, really..."

Tao Defu thought that someone would take it to frame in a while, so he didn't put away the Guanyin statue, just spread it out on the desk, sat down and filled He Wei's tea, poured himself a cup, and then did not treat He Wei as He Wei. Wei is an outsider complaining about the trivial things that happened in the store recently.

He Wei has nothing to do anyway, she is happy to listen to his gossip and have a few more cups of good tea, so why not do it.

So, the older one and the younger one sat at the coffee table, one was talking vigorously, the other was listening intently, and didn't pay attention to the greeting from the guy outside: "Hey, Boss Yuan is here? Are you here to see our shopkeeper?"

"That's right, he's inside, right?" Boss Yuan pointed to Tao Defu's office door.

Zhou An wanted to nod subconsciously, and suddenly remembered the shopkeeper's instruction: Be sure to protect the underage "lucky cat" in the store, and hurriedly wanted to say that although the shopkeeper is inside, there is still a distinguished guest inside, let him go and report first One sound.

Unexpectedly, in such a moment of stupefaction, Boss Yuan not only pushed the door open, but also said in a loud voice: "Good for you, Tao Defu! The hand-embroidered Guanyin that was agreed to is not given to me until now, but is nestled here and A little girl drinking tea... Wow! It's still the best class stamp hidden in the cake..."

Zhou An hurriedly closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.
