i was my mistake

"That's right, if you can't force me to interfere, let us win the lottery!" Ye Chen, who was still confused just now, became clearer now following Wan Qing's thoughts.

"Such a change will cause great changes..."

"Then I don't care. If you don't promise to give me the money, I'll hang on. If you have the ability, you can kill me." Wan Qing looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, but Ye Chen still shrank in fear. Shrunk his neck.

A mysterious smile appeared on Ye Yu's face: "But please don't worry, letting you win the lottery is originally a link in this domino."

"Ok?"

"Okay, now I will send you away, after you get out of here, you will forget everything here..."

……

77. No good name

The golden-red sunset slanted on the street, and the street lights on both sides had just been turned on, and many stall owners had already started setting up their stalls.

The man selling mutton kebabs came again, shaking an old fan in his hand, sending the aroma full of cumin to the distance.

There were various sounds coming from the houses on both sides of the street: there was the sound of oil pans sizzling while cooking, the sound of quarreling and cursing, and the sound of someone's stereo playing at the highest volume.

A man was leaning against the fence of the balcony, shaking the beer bottle in his hand, humming an out-of-key song to the music from the neighbor's house.

The shadows of pedestrians are dragged very long, the coldness of winter has dissipated a lot, and spring seems to be really not far away.

In fact, the sky has been getting brighter and earlier recently, and darker and later.

"It's almost New Year's Eve." The road ahead is too congested, pedestrians, bicycles and cars are all crowded together, and there are also shouts from the roadside stall owner.

Of course, the main reason is that a car collided with a bus, occupying most of the road.

So Wan Qing got out of the car and walked leisurely beside her.

On the contrary, Ye Chen and Zhao Jinyu, who were pushing the cart, were a bit inconvenient to walk.

"At the beginning of next month, there are not many days left, about half a month." Ye Chen saw that a table had already been set up in front of several shops, and it was filled with all kinds of fireworks.

Although it was just a casual glance, it felt as if the footsteps of the Spring Festival could already be heard.

Wang Anshi's famous line can't help appearing in my mind——

One-year-old addition to the sound of firecrackers.

"Let's go to the roof to set off fireworks on New Year's Day!" Ye Chen suddenly shouted excitedly.

"The door on the roof is locked, how do you go up?"

"I've tried that door, and it's actually possible to get through, but it's a bit more difficult..."

"Have you been through?"

"I tried it... I drilled halfway." Ye Chen coughed dryly.

Zhao Jinyu said enviously: "I really want to celebrate the Spring Festival with you, but it's a pity that I have to spend the festival with my parents in S city."

"City S is also very good, a big city, the atmosphere of the New Year must be very good."

"Wrong, when the New Year arrives, there are no people in City S." Zhao Jinyu shook his head lightly, "Everywhere on the street is empty. In previous years, my parents would usually invite local friends to celebrate the festival together, which is very lively. It was quite lively…”

"but?"

"But there aren't any peers I can talk to." Zhao Jinyu curled his lips, "And the few people of the same age are almost all boys, and I don't understand many of the things they talk about."

"Haha, it's probably a gathering together to talk about 'playing'."

"Yes, they are all high school students, and they still get together to play some very childish games, playing marbles and so on."

Wan Qing was quite proud of being a man, she put her hands in the pockets of her school trousers, and raised her head leisurely: "A man, until he dies is a teenager, with innocence in his reason, innocent but not pretentious, even if he sees you Reality always harbors romantic ideals..."

Ye Chen coughed hard: "You shouldn't be praising a man so much."

Wan Qing rolled her eyes, as if she was asking her, 'were you not a man before'.

"What about the woman?" Zhao Jinyu asked curiously.

"Women, they are animals dominated by emotions. They either use their emotions or are used by them. In short, they can't think rationally, and they especially like moral kidnapping, and they are easily infected by others because of empathy. Ignore the truth, abandon reason, and either be deceived or hurt others because of it."

"Hey, that's too much." Ye Chen thumped Wan Qing's arm lightly, "How can you speak so radically, you are too biased."

"Tch, what I said was the truth."

"Jinyu, just ignore her, she's just talking nonsense." Ye Chen immediately looked at Zhao Jinyu, fortunately, he didn't see any displeasure on her face.

"It's okay. It's just a personal evaluation. It's very subjective. I just didn't expect Qing'er, a girl, to say that. Maybe it's self-criticism?"

"Don't think so well of her, she... is definitely not what you think anyway!" Ye Chen was a little helpless, but couldn't explain it, so he turned his head and gave Wan Qing a hard look.

"Why you."

"Don't be so old and extreme."

"I'll just talk about it casually..." She seemed a little embarrassed by Ye Chen's words, "There are some deep-rooted concepts that are not so easy to change."

"So Qing'er can talk about it the other way around?" Zhao Jinyu pursed his lips and smiled.

"Conversely? Uh... Let me think about it, men are the most ruthless animals in the world. When they fight for their romantic ideals, they can abandon everything. Relatives, friends, family wives and daughters, they always It's the courage of a beast to walk alone, throwing away what you feel is unnecessary..."

"Why does it still sound like a compliment..." Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

"Well, men are naturally indifferent, don't care about things other than the things they are interested in, and like the new and dislike the old, and like to be smart and self-righteous..."

"Where's the woman?" Zhao Jinyu asked excitedly.

"Women, there are many tenderness and kindness that men don't have. If the world is full of men, it must be a world made of iron and blood. It is so cold that there is no emotion, and women can create this shelter from the wind..."

"How do you say it seems to be the type of housewife, but it still feels very masculine." Ye Chen said dissatisfied.

"Oh, that's the way it is anyway! Then tell me what you think!"

"Women are more careful and delicate, and most women can handle many things at the same time, like my mother used to be able to cook breakfast, wash clothes, and do hygiene, and handle many things at the same time. If I let my father do it, it will definitely not be so high. efficiency, women are more thrifty and better at housekeeping... and it is said in the book that women are more artistically talented because they can see more colors..."

Wan Qing picked out her ears, but her green eyes had moved elsewhere.

Ye Chen's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Actually, what you said can happen to both boys and girls. Don't look at others with such prejudice, because every individual is different." Zhao Jinyu shook his head lightly, "Sometimes, men and women Most of the differences do not come from physiology, but from the needs of society."

"Oh, maybe one day there won't be enough women in society, and men will be needed to make up for women. Then there will probably be many men who look like women." Wan Qing said jokingly.

"Maybe it's really possible?"

The three of them chatted like this, and finally walked through the congested road and came to their father's stall.

There were no guests at the moment, he was squatting on the ground with a freshly lit cigarette in his hand.

A clean cardboard box was placed in front of him, and a few pieces of soft torn clothes were padded inside.

The big white dog was lying inside, with its ears drooping, looking guilty.

The father raised his hand, put it to his mouth and took a puff of cigarette: "You are no longer a stray dog, you can no longer go through the trash can, understand? I will give you food every day, it is not very good, but at least it can To make you full, you rummage through the trash can, get dirty and have to take a shower..."

"Father." Wan Qing lazily greeted, "What are you doing?"

"Teaching it." The father smiled and patted the big white dog's head, "I woke up today and suddenly found such a big dog lying next to me, so I teased it for a while, and I was afraid that it would shit or mess around at home. It was destroyed, so I brought it out—you were really brought back to take a bath yesterday, did you name it?"

"No..." Ye Chen was about to answer, but was preempted by Wan Qing.

"Get up, call me Xiaobai."

"Do you really want to use this random name?"

"You're in trouble."

"It's agreed to formally raise it and give it a formal name."

"Then what do you want to be called?"

"It's all white... just call it ice cream..."

"It doesn't look cute either. Wouldn't it be too awkward to use such a name? Xiaobai is simple, popular and easy to understand."

"Then call it Xiao Hei?" Zhao Jinyu on the side suggested—of course it seemed more like he was mixing in to make trouble.

"This is good! A white dog named Xiao Hei, not bad."

"Is it okay to be serious..." Ye Chen scratched the big white dog's Xiaobai, "Just call it...just call it Dabai."

"Don't call me by that name, I feel uncomfortable after hearing it." Wan Qing touched her arm, as if she had goosebumps all over her body.

"How about calling cream?"

"It's not as good as Xiaobai."

In the end, everyone didn't think of a suitable name, and finally continued to carry on the name 'Xiaobai'.

"It's okay, a humble name is easy to raise, just call it Xiaobai, right, Xiaobai." Father laughed and patted Xiaobai's head, "You just stay in the cardboard box and don't run around, I'll give you Make a soy sauce bibimbap, and get some pork offal to eat."

For ordinary people's domestic dogs, this is already quite a good meal.

Many dogs in rural areas are even vegetarians every day, and it is rare to get a bone with some meat residue.

Xiaobai wagged his tail like an electric fan, and slapped the cardboard box loudly.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, did you buy the lottery ticket that I asked you to buy yesterday?"

"I bought it, it seems that I haven't taken it out in my pocket..." My father groped all over his body for a while, and finally took out the stacked lottery tickets from his jacket, "I just thought of the three of us, so I bought it." Three cards, all with the same number."

"Did you read the newspaper today?"

"I haven't seen it since I bought it."

Wan Qing bent down to pick up the newspaper, and found the lottery section on it.

"Father, we won the lottery." There was a bit of complacency in her tone.

"Win it? Five dollars?"

"You are at peace too, this time is the grand prize."

"Oh? Second prize?"

"Jackpot!"

"real or fake?"

"Haha, the one level below the first prize is the first prize. This time the first prize in the prize pool is [-]."

"Three first prizes?" Father's eyes widened, and he checked the numbers several times.

"That's right!"

"Get rich!"

……

78. Still happy

(One)

When it comes to lottery tickets, Wan Qing is a complete layman.

In fact, she just bought lottery tickets many times in a 'day'.

So much so that she didn't even think that such a large winning would have to be exchanged at the lottery center.

——In fact, she vaguely thought of some, but instinctively felt that only the first prize should be changed at the lottery center.

In fact, ordinary lottery points do not support such a large exchange at all.

Not to mention in this era, even in another 20 years.

Fortunately, it is not too far from the lottery center in the city center, so Wan Qing simply hailed a taxi and rushed there as quickly as possible.

In fact, don't say that you have to change it tomorrow, even if you change it in another month, it will be too late.

But the mood at this time can be different from the feeling in the cycle days.

At that time, it was just watching myself win the lottery to make my mood happy, but after that, I even felt dull.

Because in that endless cycle of days, she knew very well that she couldn't get money at all.
