4. Go to the draw
Chapter 4:
Before six o'clock in the morning on October 2, Zhang's mother led her four children out in a hurry. They are far away from the town, almost an hour and a half, not early, although it is cheaper to take a diesel tricycle at this time, it is only a dollar a person, seven-year-old Zhang Xiao, because he is thin and small, he still belongs to the ranks of not wanting money. But the key is to have a car.
If you go out early, you can get a ride to the town to run errands when you're lucky, and you don't need money.
Zhang's mother calculated this, so she woke up her four children at only five o'clock.
Zhang Jin lives in his grandfather's house, he wants to sleep lazy, but unfortunately his grandfather has always been strict, if he dares to sleep more than six o'clock, it will be easy to do, and the old man will definitely use a bamboo pole to tell him why the flowers are so red.
So......
So this is also the main reason why the three brothers of the Zhang family know that their grandfather's house is spacious and comfortable, but no one is willing to live.
Zhang's mother was also lucky today, just walked out of the village, and met a tricycle coming from another village, ready to go to the town, and it was an acquaintance. Of course, this is a car dedicated to carrying passengers, so Zhang's mother finally gave money, but because she was an acquaintance, she only received one yuan from herself and two yuan from her three sons.
This amount makes Zhang's mother very satisfied, at least today's time is saved.
The tricycle went all the way out of the mountain, and before it could get out of the mountain, it was full. Even the driver's location was shoehorned into two people.
However, the diesel tricycle has a lot of horsepower, and it can seat one or twenty people, so there is no problem.
However, because I set off too early, when I arrived in town, the lottery had not yet started, but the lottery location was already overcrowded.
Zhang's mother and everyone who came with her were a little stunned for a while when they saw the crowd of people. It's going to take a while for the lottery to start, and they can't even squeeze in!
Zhang's mother was decisive and made a quick decision, and now there is still more than half an hour before the time displayed on the lottery platform, and they can go to the wholesale market in the town to buy clothes first.
When I finish buying clothes and come out, it is estimated that the people crowded here will be almost gone. It's just that as soon as this wise Jian yƬ came out, he was forced to break the atmosphere of joy by his second son, who had no eyes.
"I'm not going. Zhang Jin simply refused.
"Why don't you go?" Zhang's mother was a little dumbfounded, could it be that the second son still wanted to squeeze with others for a while?
But it was just a 'knowingly' white eye from his son.
Mother Zhang understood something in this look, and instantly felt a little embarrassed and helpless.
In fact, compared to her helplessness, Zhang Jin, as a son, is even more helpless, from childhood to adulthood, because of her good looks, she has received special preferential treatment from Zhang's mother, especially when it comes to buying clothes, she really can't wait to take him to try all the good clothes in the clothing store, even if she can't buy them, people are also at ease. Trying to show off, 'I have a son who is more handsome than a star', and now almost everyone in the town knows them.
As a result, it has also caused someone to have a strict 'buying clothes' mental barrier.
Zhang's mother didn't care about this, she only knew that her mood was suddenly bad. The older her son gets, the better he looks, better than the movie stars on TV, and that's her capital to show off. Every time I go shopping for clothes, as long as my son has tried them, he can always buy them at the cheapest price. Even if you buy clothes for your eldest son and younger son, it's nothing more than taking a large and small size.
It's a pity why this dead boy didn't cooperate this time.
"Mom, I'm not going either, I'm waiting here with my second brother. Zhang Xiao took Zhang Jin's hand and waved at Zhang's mother, who was messy in the wind, who had just bought new clothes when she went to school this fall. This time I came here purely to join in the fun, mainly for the raffle.
As for going to the onlookers to buy clothes for the eldest brother and second brother, the little girl said that it was boring.
Without waiting for Zhang's mother to reflect, the youngest son Zhang Wenhaole's 2580,000 seemed to laugh and said: "Mom, it's just right that they don't go." ā
If Zhang's mother takes advantage of Zhang Laoer's cheap price every time she buys clothes, so that Zhang Laoer has a psychological barrier of 'changing clothes', then Zhang Wenhao and his eldest brother Zhang Junbao have a psychological barrier to wearing the clothes that Zhang Lao Er tried.
And their mother is very happy to let Zhang Lao Er try on clothes, and it is impossible to buy clothes quickly, unless the queen mother shows off to succeed.
As a result, Zhang Junbao and Zhang Wenhao can't buy the clothes they want every time. After all, cheap clothes are only those worn by Zhang Laoer, and people give them cheap.
When Zhang's mother heard her youngest son's voice, she just reflected it, and slapped the other party's head casually, but when she looked at her second child's cold appearance like her father, she didn't dare to continue to bewitch the second child.
Forget it, not this time, wait for the New Year to pull the second child, at that time the new winter clothes in the wholesale market, if you can use the second child, the price of the ski jacket grinds down, then it will be interesting.
After thinking about it, Zhang's mother was full of vitality again, and said to the second son who was pretending to be a 'flower and moon appearance' with a stern face in front of her: "Then in this case, you will stay here, if we come back late, you will stand at the door of the butter noodle restaurant over there and wait, and one person will give you ten yuan for the lottery, okay?"
Zhang Jin nodded dispensably, as if he didn't care.
Zhang's mother knows that her son is a dead button to himself, but he is poor and generous to his family, if he does not explain clearly, it is estimated that people will pinch ten yuan to face the temptation of the lottery 'firm and unyielding', so she said: "This year's harvest is good, you don't need to save money for your mother, and then give you two more yuan, before you start, you first go to find a place with few people to eat a bowl of noodles." Wait for a while and then go to the lottery when there are fewer people, don't squeeze with others, just the small body of the two of you, be careful to squeeze into the sandwich biscuits you said. ā
"Poof-" The two brothers standing on the side couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang's mother glared at the two boys fiercely: "I haven't said anything about you yet, spend money to learn a little second for me, and then I will let you eat pickles every month in the future." ā
"Mom, if we all eat pickles, who will be able to do it for you!" Zhang Wenhao said ruffianly.
Zhang's mother didn't want to continue arguing with her youngest son, so she turned around and explained: "Xiaoxiao, follow your brother, don't lose it, be careful of being sold to someone who asks for food." ā
"Hehe, Mom, I'll pull my second brother, I won't lose it. ā
Zhang's mother was relieved when she heard her daughter's assurance, but when she gave her son money, she was still very vague, afraid that her son would be targeted by others. In fact, in normal times, when she buys vegetables on the street at home, she is also eager to break it into two cents, but today is different, if you are lucky, it is many times the profit.
Perhaps this is human nature, no matter who it is, they will fantasize about using the minimum investment in exchange for the maximum profit.
"Second, use your strength to eat, we don't want to eat the van, and the rest is best to draw home the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth prizes. Before leaving, the boss Zhang Junbao patted Zhang Jin's shoulder and said with a smile.
Naturally, it is someone's white eyes.
The third writer lost no time in sarcastically saying behind his back: "When the lottery ticket is printed by your family, why didn't you say to drive the van home?"
Well, the two little brothers started to fight again as if they had never eaten pigeon feces when they were children, until Zhang's mother threatened that if anyone dared to say a word again, they would not shut up until they thought of new clothes.
Zhang Xiao has always felt that his second brother has the most sense of security, and in fact, he is. After Zhang's mother left with her two sons, she was taken by her second brother to a noodle restaurant that looked very clean but had few people and ate delicious butter noodles.
However, not long after their butter noodles were served, the lottery began. Less than ten minutes later, they heard the crackling of firecrackers, which was a celebration given by the organizers after someone won the lottery.
The sound of firecrackers made Zhang Xiao couldn't help but be excited, but when she looked at her second brother, she had a calm face, as if it had nothing to do with him if someone over there didn't win the lottery.
In fact, it doesn't seem to matter. Zhang Xiao nodded as if he didn't understand.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Jin, who was eating, looked at his little sister.
Zhang Xiaomei's eyes widened, and after a while, she said in a straight voice: "Brother, will you take me to the lottery in a while?" The little brother said that if you are dead, you will definitely save the lottery money as private money. ā
Zhang Jin: One by one +, bastard Zhang Wenhao!
The brother and sister finished eating the noodles unhurriedly and drank the soy milk slowly. Half an hour of delay passed.
There are fewer and fewer people in the surrounding noodle restaurants, but there are no fewer people in the lottery opposite.
"Brother, when are we going over?" With the sound of firecrackers ringing out non-stop, standing in the noodle restaurant, looking at Zhang Xiao on the other side was a little anxious. Especially when I saw that behind the lottery center, on the bamboo bridge erected next to the building that had just been built to three floors, there were constantly people happily going up and down, and my heart was like a cat scratching.
Zhang Jin looked left and right and said, "Wait a little longer." ā
"yes, wait a little longer and there will be fewer people, as it was yesterday. The middle-aged owner of the restaurant behind him said with a smile, "You children are still young and go over." Don't get crowded. ā
Zhang Xiao looked back at the smiling boss, and then looked up at his brother who was silent, but did not speak.
But then the sound of a loudspeaker sounded on the opposite side, and it turned out that someone had won the grand prize, a van.
Without waiting for Zhang Jin and his sisters to wonder, why was the person who had just won the award announced such a big event, but this time it was announced. The boss behind it automatically explained: "The grand prize here will be shouted through a loudspeaker, and nothing else will be shouted." ā
