Coming out of the sales office, Bian Xuedao stopped a taxi to go back to school.

4 or 500 meters from the school, a new barbecue restaurant has opened. Shan Rao was not around, and Bian Xuedao was lazy and didn't want to cook, so he got out of the car early and went to have a barbecue.

Walking in the afternoon sun, looking at the pedestrians with different expressions on the road, guessing the story behind each person, unconsciously, Bian Xuedao fell into a state of no sorrow and no joy.

As I walked, there were a lot of people looking at something not far in front of me.

Bian Xuedao took a closer look, it turned out to be a lottery station, and the boss was directing people to hang a red banner above the door.

When the banner is hung up, I will take a look at it, and it will read: Congratulations to the second prize of 290,000 yuan for the XXX two-color ball on this site.

In July 2003, a few months after the appearance of the two-color ball, the popularity was still very average, at least in Songjiang City. Many passers-by were attracted by the banner of the lottery station, and then listened to the owner of the lottery station to promote "only 2 yuan, can win 5 million".

Standing on the side of the road, he looked straight at the red banner, and vaguely felt that this thing could be used, but he couldn't accurately grasp the use of it for a while.

A few minutes later, Bian Xuedao came up with a white lie, a white lie that would improve the living conditions of his family.

I bought paper and pens at a nearby stationery store, walked into the lottery station while learning the road, bought a two-color ball for 20 yuan, and wrote down the lottery number and winning number of the second prize on the paper, and then asked some corners and corners of the second prize information with the people around me.

Leaving the lottery station and going home, I took a few things, and opened another card in the school bank, and then went to the school bank, withdrew 160,000 yuan, and deposited it in the newly opened card.

Back at the house of the Red Mansion, Bian Xuedao took the mobile phone and pondered his words and emotions for a while, and dialed the phone at home.

It was actually Bian's father who answered the phone.

At this time, Bian Dad is usually in the unit, and Bian Xuedao asked, "Dad, have a break today?"

Bian Dad said: "The boss's brother-in-law got married, and he went to drink wine in the morning, and the boss let everyone rest for a day, and just came back from the hotel." ”

Bian Xuedao lowered his voice and said, "Are there outsiders in our house?"

Bian Dad said, "No, it's just me and your mother, what's wrong?"

Bian Xuedao deliberately trembled and said: "Call my mother too, there is a big event, a big happy event." ”

Bian Dad said, "What big can you do? Tell me, your mother is drying clothes outside." ”

Bian Xuedao said word by word: "Dad, I bought a lottery ticket with my classmates and won the lottery." ”

Bian Dad said: "What are you doing with that thing, how many of the things you have to pay for?"

Bian Xuedao said in a voice that couldn't be lower: "290,000." ”

……

Bian Dad on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "What lottery ticket did you buy?

"Two-color ball, won 290,000!"

Bian Dad continued to ask, "Really, how many of you bought it?"

Bian Xuedao said: "My classmates and I bought it. ”

Bian Dad asked, "How much did it cost to buy a lottery ticket?"

Bian Xuedao thought for a while and said: "I spent 50 this time, and I have invested almost 2000 in the past few months. ”

Bian Dad said, "You wait a while, I'll call your mother over." ”

……

When the phone arrived in Bian's mother's hand, the first thing Bian's mother asked was: "Have you received the bonus?"

Bian Xuedao said: "It's here." ”

Bian Ma asked, "Did you and your classmates divide the bonus?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Divided, I am 16, he is 13." ”

Bian Ma asked, "Why do you share a lot?"

Bian Xuedao said: "It cost a total of 80 to buy lottery tickets, I paid 50, and he paid 30." ”

Bian Ma asked, "Do your classmates have any opinions on the distribution of bonuses?"

Bian Xuedao said: "No. For him, 130,000 is already a windfall. ”

Bian Ma asked, "Is the money in the card?"

Bian Xuedao replied: "Save." ”

Bian Ma asked, "When will you go home?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Tomorrow." ”

Bian Ma asked, "What car will you take back?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Train." ”

Bian Ma asked, "What time is the ticket?"

Bian Xuedao said: "It's more than 9 o'clock in the morning. ”

Bian Ma asked, "Does anyone know that you booked tickets?"

Bian Xuedao said: "No one knows the way. ”

Bian Ma said, "Let's talk about other things when we get home." Go out early tomorrow, remember to pay attention to the movement outside the door before going out, and pay attention to the people around you. ”

Put down the phone, and learn what your mother is reminding you of.

In fact, the cautiousness, thinking before and after thinking and guarding against others in Bian Xuedao's personality are inherited from Bian Ma.

However, what Bian Ma is worried about now, Bian Xuedao doesn't care at all, he didn't win the lottery at all, and he won't be coveted because he won.

What makes Bian Xuedao happy is that he finally found an opportunity to give money to his family justifiably, improve the living standards of his parents, and alleviate his guilt of making money but not fulfilling his filial piety.

In Chunshan City in 2003, the average house price was about 1,000 yuan, and the best residential area in the city center could not exceed 1,200. Basically, 160,000 yuan is enough to buy a new building of 80 square meters, with decoration and decoration.

Bian Xuedao's idea was to give the 160,000 yuan to his parents and let them use the money to buy a new building in Chunshan first. Compared with the bungalow, the building has central heating, and you don't need to get up early to light the fire in winter, so you can sleep peacefully until breakfast, which is also considered to be a bit of a blessing.

As for using the 160,000 yuan to buy a house in Songjiang directly, Bian Xuedao also thought about it, but he estimated that it would be more difficult to persuade his parents.

First of all, the relatives in the family are all in Chunshan, and my parents may not be willing to come to Songjiang. Second, his parents' jobs are in Chunshan, and they have to look for new jobs when they come to Songjiang. Third, the housing prices in Songjiang are more than twice as expensive as those in Chunshan, and parents may not be willing to pay for it.

In Bian Xuedao's heart, as long as you let your parents go upstairs first. I want to do it in one step, wait for him to graduate from college, and then find a reason to make quick money, buy a house for his parents in Songjiang, dispose of the house in Chunshan, and let them move to Songjiang to live with him.

The next day, Bian Xuedao got on the train home.

He only brought a small travel bag with him, firstly because he had never liked to go out with a lot of things, and secondly, he knew that he could stay at home for 12 or 3 days at most, and he would have to go back to Songjiang to sign a contract to buy a house.

In July, it is the peak time for college students to go home during the summer vacation, and there are many young people carrying schoolbags and suitcases in the carriage.

Bian Xuedao was originally a standing ticket, but someone next to him got off the bus halfway, so he got a seat on the side of the aisle.

The smell in the carriage was very bad and indescribably complicated.

Luckily, a few passengers next to the window pulled the windows open. The wind came in through one window, carrying the smell of the fields outside the train into the carriage, and after a turn, it came out of the window on the other side.

The person sitting by the car window reading the book, one did not pay attention, the pages of the book were turned over by the wind, and the number of pages was messed up, and the person reading the book had no choice, and in the sunlight through the dappled leaves, he looked through the place he had just seen.

Next to the next row of car windows in front of Bian Xuedao on the left, a quiet and delicate girl sat in his direction, wearing earplugs, listening to music all the way. The wind through the car window ruffled the hair around her ears, and she didn't care, just looked at the poplars and locust trees outside the window, and the fields and mountains beyond.

For the first time, Bian Xuedao felt that such a quiet girl was also very tasteful.

On the aisle where the carriage is not wide, there are many people standing, a woman who seems to be going to the toilet, meets the conductor pushing the food cart against the current, everyone knows that even if it is in time for the Spring Festival, this car must be pushed over, and they automatically change their positions to make way for him.

The woman happened to walk to Bian Xuedao, but she couldn't help it, so she squeezed sideways in front of Bian Xuedao.

The food truck still can't get by. A middle-aged man also squeezed into the field in front of Bian Xuedao, and at this moment, the carriage paused, the woman lost her center of gravity, and her upper body fell to Bian Xuedao's head, and Bian Xuedao reached out to support her waist, so that the woman didn't hit herself.

The woman was very embarrassed, even said sorry, saw that the food truck had passed, and continued to walk to the other end of the car.

A few minutes later, the woman walked back and saw Bian Xuedao looking at her, and smiled apologetically at Bian Xuedao.

It's home.

A family of three sat around the table, without so many politeness, and ate directly.

After eating for a while, Bian Dad asked, "How many days can I stay when I come back this time?"

Bian Xuedao chewed his rice and said, "Two weeks!"

Bian Dad took a sip of wine and said, "I see other people's college students, no one is as busy as you, so you can't stay for a few more days?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Be busy now, and be relaxed in the future." ”

Bian Ma sandwiched two dishes for him and asked him, "How was the exam?"

While learning the way, he said while serving food to his mouth: "It's more than enough to be less than the bottom, universities are like this, and I don't want to stay in school or anything, long live 60 points." ”

Bian Dad said Bian Mom: "When I was in high school, I asked how my grades were every day, and I still asked in college, can't I ask something new?"

Bian's mother didn't look at Bian's father, "Ask what's wrong with the results? I didn't say how many points my son had to score." By the way, are there any female classmates at school who have a better relationship?"

Hearing this, Bian Dad put down the wine cup, and his ears seemed to move.

Bian Xuedao put down the bowl and said, "There is one." ”

Bian Ma's eyes were like flashlights with enough electricity, and she pulled Bian Xuedao's arm and asked, "What's it?what's it?How old is it?How long has it been?Where is it?Why don't you tell your mother on the phone?"

Bian Dad then added: "What are the parents doing at home?"

Bian Xuedao told his parents about Shan Rao's situation.

Bian's mother was concerned that Shan Rao was one year older than Bian Xuedao, but Bian's father said: "Her parents are both cadres?

Since going to college again, Bian Xuedao quickly found a way to make money by virtue of his information advantage, and became the number one local tyrant in the dormitory.

Bian Xuedao felt that he had to give his parents some confidence: "We have a good relationship, and besides, I am working hard now, I believe that as long as I can mix up by the time I graduate, everything will not be a problem." ”

Bian Dad drank the wine in one gulp, nodded and didn't say anything.

After eating, Bian Xuedao took out the bank card where he saved money, handed it to Bian Ma, and said, "Mom, there is 160,000 yuan in the card, and the password is the one I usually use." ”

Bian Ma turned her head and glanced at Bian Dad, reached out to take the card, and said, "This money is still yours, let Mom put it first, Mom will keep it for you, and use it when you get married." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "I'm still early to get married, and I'll talk about marriage later." I think so, tomorrow I will go to the bank first, deposit the money in our passbook, and then I will go with you to see the building. ”

Bian Ma looked at Bian Xuedao and asked: "What are you doing watching the building? I live in this house with your father very well, and there is a garden, I can grow whatever I want." When you go upstairs, you have to pay property fees, heating fees, this fee and that fee. ”

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I didn't say that I would definitely buy it, let's go and see it tomorrow, and if there is a suitable one, we will discuss it." ”

Bian Dad answered: "Recently, the housing prices in Chunshan have risen a bit. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "It's still my dad who understands the market." Let's buy now, which is equivalent to investing while living. After two years, when I graduated and made money, I moved my family to Songjiang directly, and when the time came, I sold the building and earned back all the expenses. ”
