Chapter 32 The adult world is cruel

Looking at the backs of Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing leaving, the corners of Li Manrui's mouth were raised crookedly, revealing joy and pride, his son has finally grown up, and he will be a real adult after today!

The child who used to stare at her and jumped half a foot high is gone, and now Lin Zitan, since he came back from that fall, the whole person seems to have changed as if he was a different person, and suddenly he has grown up, although she occasionally feels a little strange in her heart, but overall she is still very pleased!

Although Lin Zitan was tall in the past, he was pale and thin, even if he inherited her and Lin Musen's excellent genes, it always made people worry about his health, and the perennial taciturn made Li Manrui think that he had autism, but fortunately, since he became good friends with Zhang Jing, Lin Zitan's personality has also changed slightly, and he will no longer lock himself in the room as before.

In fact, she still likes Zhang Jing, a child, with a very sweet mouth, and knows how to care about people, except for being a little squirming, her nature is still good, which is why Li Manrui never interferes with them playing together despite occasionally knocking on Lin Zitan.

"Hi, Zhang, I've got a seat for you. As soon as he saw Zhang Jing coming over, the blonde girl who had a good impression of him hurriedly beckoned to him.

"Your fan sister has been looking for you for a long time, hurry up~" Lin Zitan looked back and said with a smile.

"I don't know what to buy, this little red envelope, let's look at it and buy it yourself!" Zhang Jing said as he stuffed the red envelope into Lin Zitan's hand, and the person was already giggling towards the girl.

Lin Zitan pinched the red envelope in the palm of his hand and felt it, thinking that this kid is quite caring, this is what I want most now, Zhang Jing, this friend really understands me so well!

A group of young people ordered food, sat around laughing and laughing, and the iron plate master came over with a small cart to get a burst of cheerful applause from them.

Because he couldn't drink under the age of 21, the little master specially replaced the watering can with Sprite, and while juggling to make them happy, he used the watering can to tease those happy little girls from time to time. Every now and then there was a burst of laughter at the table.

After eating, the enterprises took the table and took out the cake that Li Manrui had prepared long ago from the kitchen freezer, Li Manrui came over with a big belly and lit two candles 1 and 8 for Lin Zitan, and everyone began to sing birthday songs in unison, and while everyone was singing, they sent their small gifts to the table in front of Lin Zitan.

Lin Zitan thanked him while busy distributing the dinner plates and knives and forks to all his friends! Li Manrui looked at Lin Zitan's young and energetic face reflected by the candle flame in the children's singing, and couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears all of a sudden, Mike didn't know when he appeared, and when Li Manrui wanted to turn around and walk away, he was gently hugged by his big hands.

Lin Zitan made a wish in everyone's blessings, but he didn't expect that the day after blowing out the candles, he realized his first stage of wishes. Seeing that he finished blowing out the candles, Mike handed him a dozen lottery tickets in his hand and said to him: Happy birthday and good luck!

Lin Zitan took a closer look, it turned out to be a whole scratch lottery ticket, each face value of $20, this one is also sealed with a plastic seal, the price of this book alone is 1,000 yuan, but if you can get a few big ones in it, you can return to the capital, but unfortunately many people are not so lucky many times, some people spend hundreds of dollars may only win a 10 yuan 20 yuan, of course, it is rare to buy a whole book at a time to scratch! Lin Zitan only expects that this scratch book can bring good luck to himself.

After Lin Zitan took it, he nodded happily and said thank you to Mike, Li Manrui saw that it was a scratch ticket, and complained to Mike in a low voice, but seeing that Lin Zitan was happy, he didn't say anything.

When the classmates left, Zhang Jing also came over to Mike and said that the gift he gave was very cool, which made Mike very proud. Lin Zitan didn't stay in the restaurant long because he wanted to take so many gifts, and before 9 o'clock, he drove his mother's Toyota Camry home with the gifts.

In fact, Lin Zitan is far less calm than people seem, although Li Manrui has not given him any gifts, but Mike's scratch ticket does make him more excited than giving him a car. Whether he was lucky enough to win the jackpot or not, he was very uncertain, but he couldn't tell why he had an inexplicable apprehension and excitement.

After the car arrived home, Lin Zitan called Aunt Li to come out to help, and asked her to take the small gifts given by her classmates and throw them wherever she wanted, while she walked into her room quickly with the red envelopes given by Zhang Jing and the dozen scratch tickets given by Mike.

Before closing the door, Lin Zitan glanced outside, and then looked up at the clock on the wall, he had to move quickly, and he must not delay picking up Li Manrui from work, so as not to make her realize that she couldn't wait.

Lin Zitan doesn't know what the mood of others buying lottery tickets is, he has never been willing to buy it before, although the master of the restaurant before lobbied in front of him all day long, saying that some lottery tickets in a lifetime do not have to worry, but he still did not dare to take the risk of one or two dollars to gamble, after all, watching the master buy every day and lose every day, support to die occasionally hit a few dollars, not warm up and couldn't help but take it to buy a few, the result is naturally a mess.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets lose, he never believed that he would have that kind of luck, but today is different, these lottery tickets are not bought with his money, it can be said that it is completely business-free, it is good to win, it doesn't matter if you don't win, besides, such a large face value, he is still the first time to see it is the first time to play, before the master will hesitate for a long time to buy a five-dollar one, let alone 20!

Lin Zi looked at this lottery ticket, and suddenly thought of people taking a shower and changing clothes before doing something big, and sneered lightly, aren't you still superstitious about these?

But I think so, I still put the lottery ticket first, found a coin to put next to it, got up and pulled the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window into a little more, went to the bathroom and washed my hands carefully, while washing and praying that my hands must be a little more vigorous, whether you can raise the first pot of gold in a short time, maybe it depends on the luck of this time.

In fact, Lin Zitan has never scratched the lottery ticket, whether it is at home or abroad, so before starting, he first carefully read the manual, to understand what kind of situation is won, how many can be won, and then he opened the laptop, checked where to get the prize in case of winning, and finally rubbed his hands to slowly tear open the plastic packaging of the lottery ticket.

"Huh~ I'm going, I'm so nervous!" Lin Zitan said to himself while opening the lottery ticket.

After opening it, he found that this dozen lottery tickets were continuous, Lin Zitan was really nervous, he quietly listened to whether there was any movement outside the door, and looked up at the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if he was worried that the jackpot would be discovered, both excited and a little afraid of disappointment, he found that his palms were a little sweaty at this time.

Usually people play scratch music probably just with the mentality of playing, no one buys so much at once, because it is quite laborious to scratch up such a piece, especially a novice like Lin Zitan, he came back from the restaurant until Li Manrui got off work was picked up by Mike, he only scratched more than 20 tickets, and all the lottery tickets added up to less than 200 yuan.

"Knock knock~" I don't know what time it is, I called Li Manrui once in the middle, she said she didn't have to answer, so Lin Zitan was completely immersed in his lottery career, and when he heard a knock on the door, he looked up, I went, it was almost 11 o'clock.

"Daniel?" Mike's voice came from outside. Lin Zitan hurriedly got up to open the door, and in a hurry, he didn't even have time to collect the messy lottery tickets on the table.

"What's the matter?"

"Hi, how's it going? How many hits?" asked Mike excitedly as soon as Lin Zitan opened the door.

"Well, I only won more than 200 in total~" Lin Zitan's mood was a little low, and he didn't even hit more than 20 tickets, which was really a little discouraged.

"Haha, don't care too much about the result, your mother is worried that you will be addicted to this game, in fact, I just want to tell you through this incident: wealth is not so easy to earn, welcome to the adult world, but the adult world is cruel! I believe that you will not only not be addicted in the future, but will try to find a better way to get what you want! Come on!"

After Mike finished speaking, he patted Lin Zitan's shoulder heroically and turned to leave.
