6. See blood
Chapter 6:
Zhang Jin strained his face and cautiously walked onto the simple overpass built by bamboo rafts, and the sound of firecrackers was deafening in his ears. Compared with all kinds of envy and jealousy under the bridge, at this moment, he has no joy at all to win the lottery and go to receive the award.
On the contrary, because the gap in the bridge under his feet was too large, he could see the high ground below if he was not careful, and by the time he reached the middle, his legs were already shaking and he could not walk. Not to mention that the firecrackers around him were blown up too hard, and there were constantly confetti or unfinished things from the firecrackers to greet him. Where is this to receive the award, this is clearly a brave adventure.
"Smack-" Zhang Jin, who took a breath and was about to continue walking, only felt that his chin was hot, and he climbed down as soon as his feet slipped.
"Ouch, the firecrackers hit someone." The people who had been watching under the overpass suddenly shouted.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who was still standing on the overpass just now had now climbed on the overpass.
Zhang's mother, who was choosing the prize, was also startled when she saw it, and hurriedly squeezed to the side of the overpass.
The security guards who were still on the podium on the flyover were fast, and when they found that Zhang Jin screamed, they covered their chins and climbed down, and hurriedly rushed up.
"What's wrong?" A security guard, who was about thirty or forty years old, lightly helped Zhang Jin up.
Zhang Jin covered his chin and raised his head, there were tears in his eyes, not to mention how pitiful it was, but in the end, he was stubborn by nature, and he didn't cry.
It's just that his situation at the moment startled several security guards, and they saw that the winner was already covered with a rainbow between his fingers.
The three or four security guards were a little hot in their minds for a moment, and they reflected it and hurriedly brought people to the podium.
It's just Zhang Jin's luck, although it looks scary and he bleeds a lot, but it is a skin injury, but the wound is just bigger.
Of course, if it weren't for the skin trauma, the organizers would have been in trouble today. No one likes to see blood on this otherwise jubilant day, and if you look into it carefully, it's still their negligence. After Zhang's mother came up, the organizer was also very polite, a person who looked like a leader apologized to Zhang's mother apologetically, and the sincerity of his attitude made Zhang's mother, who was originally angry, instantly dissipated, and she was embarrassed to say anything. After that, they didn't say a word and took 500 yuan, saying that it was for the child's convulsion.
Five hundred yuan may not be a lot in later generations, but in 97 or 98, it was really not a small amount of money for rural people. It's almost a year's living expenses for a middle and high school student.
Zhang's mother pretended to postpone it a few times, and then looked at her son's stupid appearance, she was really frightened, and took the money in her heart. The heart said that he would take his son to eat a good meal for a while, and he was shocked.
Originally, there was a fee for all aspects of the prize procedure, especially for the second and third prizes, and the handling fee was hundreds of yuan. But when such a thing happened, the organizer was embarrassed to speak, politely opened the certificate for the person, and politely sent the person off the podium. As for firecrackers, they don't dare to set off anymore.
Looking at the white and pure children of others, it looks like they are still in school, and the results are ......
The organizers are embarrassed, this thing is done! Of course, they are also glad that Zhang's mother is not a messer. Otherwise, the amount of blood just now would not be something that could be solved by five hundred dollars.
But in fact, Zhang's mother didn't care, but after going up to check, she felt that the wound was nothing at all, and it was not as big as the children in the village who were cutting rice in the field, and the wound was hidden under the chin, so there was no need to make a fuss.
But after coming down, she pulled her son and said the prize she chose.
The two second prizes are naturally a motorcycle and a tractor, which happens to be missing at home.
The two color TVs of the third prize, although someone had asked her just now, whether she could sell one cheaply, and she could give her up to 2,008, but she was going to put one at her own house and one at her father's house, so she postponed it.
In the end, there was basically nothing to choose from for the fourth-prize bike, whether it was red, black, or blue, it was a women's bike, and she chose a red one.
Zhang Jin didn't say anything about this, because until now, his ears and brain were still noisy.
Just now, when the firecracker hit him, and then he climbed on the bamboo raft, the first thing he felt was not a pain in his jaw, but something in his chest burned, and then his head buzzed, and it seemed that suddenly there was a lot more.
It's just that from just now to now, the surroundings are very chaotic, so he doesn't have time to think about what is in his head.
"What's the matter, Xiao Er, scared?" Zhang's mother talked for a long time, only to find that her second son was still stunned and didn't respond, and she was really panicked. He hugged his son, who was a head taller than him, into his arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." โ
Zhang Jin felt the power of environmental protection on his body, and this time he reflected it, and shook his head in a daze: "Mom, I'm fine." โ
Zhang's mother let go of her son, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said reassuringly this time: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, if there's anything uncomfortable, you quickly tell your mother, this is the town, it's convenient to go to the hospital." โ
"Hmm." Zhang Jin nodded, then lowered his head to the collar of his undershirt and looked at the empty red rope under his neck.
"Where's your jade pendant?" Zhang's mother's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly discovered his situation.
Zhang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly raised his head, as if he had done something wrong, and said, "No, I don't know, it may have fallen off." โ
Zhang's mother glanced at her son suspiciously, not doubting him, and said: "Anyway, it's a trap, and it's probably not precious, if you like it, I'll ask your grandfather to get one for you when you go back." Your grandfather has a lot of good jade pendants. โ
"Oh." Zhang Jin nodded obediently.
What does his second son look like, Zhang's mother also understands, although she doesn't say anything, but in her heart she is guessing that her son was really scared just now, this second son has been timid since he was a child, and he didn't dare to go up to the two-story bamboo bridge on the village to build a house, not to mention that he just went up to the third floor, and was frightened by firecrackers.
"Go back and ask your grandfather to call you at night, don't be really shocked." Zhang's mother said a word, so she didn't say anything more, and pulled her second son forward. Next to a red-looking walk-behind tractor, her other three children were already waiting.
It was almost noon, Dad Zhang finally arrived in town with a happy Grandpa Zhang, not to mention the joy, the wrinkles on Grandpa Zhang's face looked much less, as if he was ten years younger.
As for Dad Zhang, not to mention, nowadays motorcycles and walk-behind tractors are really things in the dreams of men, usually on the road when they see others driving motorcycles in a flash, and those eyes can't wait to stare out of their sockets. It's just that there were many children in the family before, and they were all in school, although life would not be very poor, but there was no money left for him to realize his dream of a man.
Now, his second son has put the motorcycle and the tractor at one time to the family neatly, not to mention the convenience of farming at home, that is, to go out to work, he and his father's set of tools are easy to bring. Well, there are at least more than three thousand large color TVs.
Hehe, when you walk out of the door in the future, you will have sรจ capital.
As for the injury of the second son, the two old men didn't take it seriously at all, just that little wound, it was not enough for the people who came out of the mountains to see it, the naughty children in the village, who didn't have the experience of a few buttocks flowering when they were young?
Happy at the same time, several sons (grandsons) also coaxed Dad Zhang and Grandpa Zhang to smoke a lot, sons (grandsons) have such good luck, it is impossible to say that they are not tempted, the two did not postpone, one took ten yuan to draw a few, in order to expand his winning area, a little clever Dad Zhang also deliberately took advantage of the noon when there were few people, a sales booth to buy one.
It's a pity that neither he nor his son have the life to win the jackpot, except for Grandpa Zhang, who finally drew two yuan, Dad Zhang was stunned and didn't draw anything.
However, the two of them are not discouraged, anyway, there are enough of them in this grand prize, I haven't heard how many passers-by are saying just now, this is dozens of hundreds, and I haven't seen a grand prize, where is the grand prize so easy to draw, if it is good to draw, it will not be drawn sooner.
At noon, Grandpa Zhang took the whole family to an acquaintance's restaurant and ate a big table. It's really good, almost all the dishes on the big table are meat, and the family of seven has eaten hard, but they haven't finished eating.
After eating, the family walked around the town again, bought something that they couldn't usually buy at the market near their home, and then went home. When he went back, Zhang's father drove a motorcycle with a big red flower in front to take his daughter-in-law, and Grandpa Zhang drove a tractor with a big red flower on the front, pulling his four grandsons, two color TVs and a bicycle happily home.
Originally, during dinner, someone asked if they sold the extra color TV, and the bid was 3,000.
As a result, without waiting for Zhang's mother to talk to Zhang Jin, Grandpa Zhang sent people away with a smile, and bluntly said that this color TV was to be sent to his son's father-in-law.
Well, after working for a long time, Zhang Jin won the five prizes by himself, and in the end, there was basically nothing to do with him, and the jade pendant he lost was also comforted by several parents in the family, and it was not worth feeling sorry for. As for the injury and bleeding, everyone agreed that the noon meal had already been made up?
