Chapter 3 A Newspaper
"Mom and Dad, I'm back. ”
Liu Yun's parents didn't notice anything unusual about him, and he sighed a lot in his heart when he looked at his parents' much younger faces.
"Son, I'm back from night study, let's rest early, I have to go to school tomorrow. Mother Wang Huifang's voice came.
Liu Yun nodded, but there was a sense of shame in his heart. At the beginning, I deceived my parents to go to evening self-study in order to go to the Internet café to play games, but now I am really remorseful when I think about it, and I am determined that I must work hard to make my parents live a comfortable life in this life.
He didn't dare to talk much, for fear that if he couldn't answer later, it would cause his parents to worry, so he went back to his room.
In this bedroom, there is one less computer, some books, and then a lot of study materials for reading, including practice test papers, review books and periodicals, Liu Yun does not have much strangeness, he sits on the chair alone and begins to organize his thoughts.
Donghai No. 2 Middle School, where he is located, is a key high school in Donghai City. His sophomore science class has 5 classes, 4 key classes, and an ordinary class. Students in key classes, the top grades can be admitted to key universities, and even famous universities such as 985, while the students with low grades in the class can also get on the second score line.
In the ordinary class, they are all related households, or there are more students who are close to the score line during the high school entrance examination, and they spend money to buy them, they either have money at home, or they have a road at home, most of these people can only take a junior college, or go directly to a foreign pheasant university to mix a diploma after graduating from high school.
Liu Yun's class is in Class 3, which is a key class in science. However, in this final exam, if he does not do well and ranks in the bottom five, he will be assigned to the ordinary class.
Fortunately, there is still a month to go, so it is not a big problem to seize the time and review it well. Although a lot of knowledge has been forgotten, after all, it has been learned once before, and the foundation is there, and it should not be difficult to memorize it again.
In his freshman and sophomore years of high school, his grades were consistently between 35 and 40, and the total number of students in his class was 50. He really fell in his junior year of high school. At that time, he really let himself go in the virtual game world.
The college entrance examination has always been a regret hidden deep in his heart, in his previous life, due to the fall of the third year of high school, he only took one or three books. Now, thanks to God's favor, I have returned to my high school days. He secretly warned himself that he must study hard in his third year of high school, for himself and his parents.
He set a goal for himself, he didn't expect prestigious universities such as 985, as long as he could be admitted to the key line, and remember to be ambitious.
Liu Yun also remembered that the economic conditions of his family were really not good, and he remembered the first half of next year, that is, when he was in the second semester of his third year of high school. His parents were laid off because the efficiency of the unit was not good and the enterprise was restructured.
The two old men were getting older, and he felt a dull pain in his chest when he was running around for living expenses and for himself to go to college.
He touched his chin, a little distressed. He thought of some ways to make a quick buck, and then immediately rejected it.
He didn't remember any of the lottery numbers, he knew which stocks would appreciate, but it was a long-term fishing for a big fish, and he couldn't solve the urgent need. He also knows that the housing prices in Huaxia will rise and skyrocket, but the family hasn't even paid off the debt of the house they live in now, where will the money come from?
"Hey, what kind of newspaper is this?" Liu Yun's gaze stayed on the first compartment of the bookcase, and he found a newspaper here.
Sports Weekly, just published today. When he was in high school and college, as a fan, he had the habit of buying sports weekly newspapers. It's just that later the Internet became more and more popular, and any news could be seen on the computer, but after I entered the social work, my interest in watching football was slowly waning, and I stopped buying newspapers.
Liu Yun saw the first page of the newspaper, and the most eye-catching center position was written that the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan was about to open on May 31, and the opening match was the defending champions France and Senegal.
When he saw the cover of this newspaper, it was like a lightning bolt that came unexpectedly, splitting the layers of fog in his mind and revealing a ray of light from the thick dark clouds.
Today is May 29, 2002, the day after tomorrow is the opening day of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and to the shock of fans around the world, the defending champions of the golden era, France, lost to Senegal in the opening game.
Liu Yun felt his heart start to pound, if it was the usual European League, there were so many games every week, he couldn't remember who and whom's results at all.
But the quadrennial World Cup, after all, is a football feast, and he doesn't dare to say all the results, but he still remembers most of the results, and these watching experiences are part of his youth, which is so easy to forget.
He suddenly remembered that the football lottery has been online for more than half a year and has become a hobby for many football fans.
But this bonus is not so easy to get, enough to guess the right thirteen games, if you guess one wrong, only the second prize, the bonus is pitiful, and there is not a penny for two wrong guesses. There are many periods, even if you guess all of them, the prize money shared equally by the number of winners in the country is pitiful, usually only about 100,000, unless there are too many unpopular.
Liu Yun also bought the winning lottery in his previous life, but he soon found out that he was not the material to guess the winning and losing lottery, and he only guessed 8 games correctly at the most, and he was 108,000 miles away from the second prize. Soon, he gave up the idea of making a fortune by buying football lottery, and no longer sent money to the sports lottery center.
What are you doing this time? Of course you do! Liu Yun bit the tip of his tongue to get excited.
This World Cup is full of upsets, even if you guess wrong, there will be a bonus of tens of thousands of yuan, which is also a huge amount of money for the current family. If it's the first prize, it's even better, at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, you can buy a better house for your parents, you owe too much to your parents in your previous life.
Liu Yun suddenly remembered that he didn't know what thirteen games this issue of football lottery would be, and what if there were exactly a few games that he didn't have an impression of. With such a good opportunity to make money, he will have to wait for another four years after this village, and he doesn't have the patience.
He thought about it for a while and decided to win and draw the game that he was not sure of. However, in this way, the principal will be much higher.
He frowned, tapped his fingers on the table for a moment, then stood up again, walking back and forth. Regardless of these, for the first prize of this phase of the football lottery, regardless of the cost. He searched around in his drawer, and added his pocket money and private money together, almost more than 200 yuan.
Liu Yun looked at the money and muttered to himself: "It should be enough, it's not enough to borrow some tomorrow." ”
