Leng Jun's home is not far from the school, and it is only a twenty-minute walk at most, which is particularly convenient.

In the 90s, my father was still an employee of the toll station of the transportation system, and later married my mother Zhang Yuying, who had just graduated from Henan University of Finance and Economics, my father chose to resign and go to the sea to do business and engage in engineering, but there was an accident during the construction of the contracted gas station, and the company went out of business. Work-related injury compensation, a series of problems followed, it is a big heel, and since then it has never turned over, and even the small house of less than 60 square meters of two bedrooms and one living room at home was almost forced by the court to pay off the debt.

Father is also since then,A little broken jar,Don't look for a job,Stay at home all day watching TV,TV is often on all night,In addition to watching TV,The rest of the time stays in the lottery shop every day to study the so-called lottery probability。 The family's living expenses are all supported by my mother's only five-star hotel in Gorge City~ as the chief concierge of the front office department.

The mother carried the whole family alone, and for this reason the mother and the father quarreled no less than a dozen times, and even a few times the two of them got into a big fight, thanks to the neighbors who came to dissuade them. My mother hated my father for being decadent and uncompromising, but my father said that he was fifty years old, and no one wanted to apply for a job anywhere, so could it be difficult to work as a cleaner to sweep the streets?

Every time the two sides quarreled, they insisted on their own words, and in the end, they didn't settle down.

His father was eleven years older than his mother, and Leng Jun couldn't understand how his mother fell in love with his father's crooked melon and cracked dates since he was a child.

Leng Jun grew up in the impression that his father borrowed all the money of relatives, friends, and colleagues around him, because his father was unwilling to work at all, so a large amount of debt was pressed on his mother's head, and the creditors knew that it was useless to ask for money from his father, so he often intercepted his mother on the way to get off work to ask for money. The family's only source of income was cut off, and it was the darkest moment for the whole family, Leng Jun could always see his mother carrying him behind his back, standing on the balcony alone and secretly wiping his tears.

This period of time is Leng Jun is unwilling to recall, at that time, basically every day there are creditors sitting at home to collect debts, if the debt collection fails, simply live at home, what do you eat, what do the creditors also eat, a total of two bedrooms, the creditors occupy one, and the three of them and their parents squeeze into one, in short, you have to find a way to borrow money to pay off the debt, otherwise no one will have a good life.

At that time, as soon as Leng Jun and his mother heard footsteps in the corridor, they were nervously worried that the creditor would come to the door. The father ran to the balcony to hide without any interest, saying that if the creditor asked about him, the two of you would say that they didn't know.

Leng Jun can't remember how many years such a day lasted, in short, in the end, his grandfather who was far away in Zhengzhou couldn't stand it, so he sold an old house and paid off most of his father's debt out of his own pocket. Because of this, in the previous life, my mother was not less complained about by my aunt, my uncle and second aunt were okay, their mentality was not unbalanced, but my aunt just grasped this matter, as long as she met my aunt, she counted her mother for not being filial in front of the family, saying that her mother spent so much money on the old man at her age.

In fact, my aunt is distressed about this money, because in the future, the old couple will be born in the West, and she, as the legal heir, will share a lot of inheritance.

That's right! Just talked about his father's research on the lottery,Leng Jun suddenly remembered:In the last life, before the final exam of the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school,My father suddenly went crazy at home,Always keep talking to himself that the owner of the lottery shop is a black-hearted beast,Even angrily rushed into the lottery shop at the door of the house with a kitchen knife,Later, when entering the bureau to record,The reason seems to be that my father had called the owner of the lottery shop to help him choose a note number,But my father did not pay in time to take the lottery ticket away that day,As a result, the next day my father found that he won the second prize of more than 40,000 yuan in the two-color ball lottery he selected。 When my father went to the lottery shop to pick up the lottery ticket, the owner of the store did not admit it, and insisted that he bought the lottery ticket himself.

After all, my father did not pay, so in the end, under the mediation of the police uncle, out of the spirit of humanitarianism, the owner of the lottery shop gave one percent of the prize of 40,000 yuan to my father. My father bought more than 400 yuan into beer in the weather, and he was so drunk.

Thinking of this, Leng Jun quickened his pace. Because today, Tuesday, July 1st, happens to be the day of the two-color ball draw in the evening. Go home and ask my father, if he has bought a lottery ticket from the owner of the lottery shop, it must be a win in this period, if not, it must be Thursday, July 3. Because the final exam is on July 5th.

Walking into the community of the staff family of the transportation system, I looked at the houses in the 90s in front of me, each with only five floors ~ and two unit door openings. In front of the doorway of the unit, seven or eight old men and old ladies sat on stone benches with fans and chatted.

Leng Jun greeted these elders who had not seen him for a long time, some of them passed away early in their previous lives, Leng Jun even went to their funeral with his parents, but seeing each other again at this moment made Leng Jun have the illusion of a big dream.

Ascending to the third floor in one breath, Leng Jun opened the door, the air was filled with a disgusting smell of beer fermentation, looking at his father who was lying on the sofa watching TV and drinking beer, Leng Jun's mood was really unpleasant.

"Dad, where's my mom?"

On the sofa, Leng Xian grinned at Leng Jun: "Son, you are stupid in school." At lunchtime, didn't your mother just say that it was her turn to be the duty manager at the hotel tonight, and she needed to work a night shift. ”

Leng Jun said "um", and asked seemingly casually: "It seems that the two-color ball will be drawn on Tuesday today, Dad, you didn't buy two bets to try your luck?"

Leng Xian squinted and smiled, revealing an expression that his son still understood me, and sat up from the sofa, "Son, you don't say that I forgot, at five o'clock, I will call the lottery shop to help me choose a note, you go and help me run a trip, pay the money for the lottery and get it back." Oh yes, the money is in my bedroom trouser pocket, and when you come back, buy me another Tsingtao beer, don't fill it, ask for the kind in glass bottles, it must be chilled. ”

Leng Jun casually agreed and walked into the bedroom, and found that there were only 428 pieces scattered in his father's trouser pocket. Leng Jun knew that this was all his father's savings, because every month, according to the custom, his mother would give his father 500 yuan of pocket money at the beginning of the month.

Leng Jun secretly glanced at the living room, and then quickly put all 428 pieces into his pocket like a thief.

Then at home, he replaced his jacket, a pirated version of Nike and Adidas, with a pure white short-sleeved shirt, and glanced at the clock on the wall: at 19 o'clock, CCTV1 on the TV at home also sounded the iconic music accompaniment of the news network.

Leng Jun casually said hello to his father, and went directly out of the door to the lottery shop at the door of his house.
