Chapter 5: Dreams and Reality

Updated: 0/9/20

After sitting in a trance for a long time, Zhang Yang stood up, got on the bus, and rushed back to his kennel. He had more than 3,000 yuan in his pocket, which was a huge amount of money for him, you must know that when he came out of the house to work, he only brought 2,000 yuan with him, and he didn't think about what to do with the money, he just wanted to hurry home quickly, it was too dangerous to bring so much cash outside.

After returning to the rental room, Zhang Yang locked the door from the inside, closed the curtains, then picked up the pillow at the head of the bed, unzipped the pillow, stuffed the three thousand yuan in, and then patted the pillow, until the appearance did not appear a little unusual, his heart fell back into his stomach steadily.

Lying on the pillow, Zhang Yang giggled.

It wasn't until night fell that Zhang Yang woke up from the sweet dream of making a fortune and rubbed his stomach, and he found that the detention center also had a benefit, eating on time, and never worrying about stomach problems!

Phew, why do you think about that again, let's think about what to eat at night!

Walking on the street, facing the restaurants on both sides of the road, Zhang Yang swallowed his saliva, raised his steps and wanted to find a beautifully decorated door curtain and walked in!

In the past, when there was no money, Zhang Yang always thought about finding a luxurious restaurant when he had money, ordering a bunch of delicious and delicious food, and eating and drinking alone!

Who doesn't want to eat and drink well this year? When he came out in the evening, Zhang Yang carried 500 yuan and could afford to eat at the restaurant. After hesitating a few times, he still didn't go in and turned to leave.

He is not the kind of person who has no heart and lungs, thinking of his parents at home, who have been frugal all these years, his feet are as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he can't step in.

After walking a few steps, he found the phone booth and dialed the phone at home.

"Mom, you and my dad are fine, right?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Why did you come to call, you stinky boy, what have you been doing in the past half a month, you are about to kill us!

Wang Shuang, the mother of Zhang Yang, heard her son's long-lost voice, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out, and she choked up.

Zhang Yang is the heart and soul of the two people, although they live in poverty, but the two of them have never lacked Zhang Yang's food. After the results of this year's college entrance examination came out, the old couple planned to smash the pot and sell iron for Zhang Yang to go to college, but they didn't expect the sensible Zhang Yang to refuse their arrangement.

For this matter, the father and son had several violent quarrels, and Zhang Yang's father Zhang Zhang also stretched out his hand to beat Zhang Yang, and he didn't change his mind! No matter how he persuaded him, Zhang Yang just didn't read it, and finally left his hometown with 2,000 yuan and a luggage roll to work in Jincheng.

In their hometown, there are many people who come out to work like Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang's hometown has very little land, and the old couple were laid off very early, and the local young people left their hometown early to work in the big city. Some people even came out after graduating from junior high school.

The old couple is nearly forty years old before they have such a baby bump, where can they bear to let their son come out to work.

In the end, Zhang Yang repeatedly promised that he would go home if he encountered difficulties, and the old couple reluctantly agreed.

Who would have expected that just over a month after coming out, Zhang Yang would inexplicably lose contact with his family. It's been half a month, and the old couple are in a hurry! If it weren't for Zhang Li's stop, Wang Shuang would have gone to Jincheng City to find Zhang Yang!

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm too busy!" Zhang Yang also choked up a little, thinking that he didn't call his parents as soon as he came out, Zhang Yang secretly hated himself, why was he blinded by money. The experience of this half a month is like a movie, and he can't wait to talk to his mother about it all! But he can't, he has lived independently for a while, Zhang Yang is a lot more mature than before, he knows that if he wants to reassure his parents, he can only report good news and not bad news, otherwise the two old people will be even more worried.

Wang Shuang's tears couldn't stop flowing, handed the phone to Zhang Zhang on the side, lay on the sofa on the side, and cried whining, finally with the news of publicity, there was no need to worry about it anymore.

"Da Yang, nothing happened!" When it came to the critical moment, Zhang Li stabilized his emotions and asked softly.

"Dad didn't, I'm fine, but I changed to a new job some time ago, and I was a little too busy to call you!" Zhang Yang made up a reason.

Zhang Li said with a displeased expression: "Haven't you just worked for a month?" Why did you change jobs! Didn't I tell you, be down-to-earth, don't be ambitious, why are you disobedient? ”

When he was at home before, what Zhang Yang hated the most was his father's political class, endless preaching, until he came out to face the hardships of society alone, he suddenly found that his parents' voices were so kind, and he couldn't get tired of listening to them! In addition to people who really care about themselves, where will there be people who will talk to themselves about these truths about how to behave and do things.

After a few words of training, Zhang Zhang felt that he had said a little too much, and sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say it, you should be careful outside alone!" ”

Finding that Zhang Zhang didn't ask about his work from beginning to end, Zhang Yang wanted to make his parents happy and said, "Dad, the new job has a salary of 3,000 yuan a month!" I'll send you some back! ”

This is also what Zhang Yang wanted to report, saying that his parents would definitely have to worry about it, and saying that his parents suspected him of doing something illegal, so Zhang Yang said a fairly reliable salary.

Zhang Li said: "What to send!" You're spending a lot of money outside, so keep it for yourself! Remember to eat something good, pay attention to your body, and tell your parents if you don't have enough money! Hey, they all say that the poor family is rich, and I originally planned to bring you more money, but you didn't want it, but this time it scared your mother! If you have money, you can buy a mobile phone, it is easy to connect! ”

Zhang Yang doesn't care how much money he makes, as long as they know that their son is safe and sound, they are satisfied.

Zhang Yang said with tears in his eyes: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm fine." I'll buy a mobile phone tomorrow during the day, and we'll be on the phone every day! After speaking, he couldn't control his feelings and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Putting down the tension of the phone, Wang Shuang, who was still crying, said: "Don't cry, my son has a future." I changed to a new job, and I had 3,000 yuan a month, which was more than the two of us! ”

Wang Shuang wiped his tears and said, "Really? What is the job? Tired or not! ”

Zhang Zhang touched his head and said, "I forgot to ask when I was happy!" Da Yang said, buy a mobile phone tomorrow, let's call him whenever we want! ”

After the husband and wife had the news of their son, they put down their worries and excitedly discussed their son's new job, and they couldn't sleep for a long time.

They are ordinary parents, but also the most simple parents, they do not expect their son to be a big official and make a fortune, for the old couple, as long as their son is safe and sound, it is their greatest happiness.

Holding back tears, Zhang Yang came to the Lanzhou ramen restaurant on the street and asked for a bowl of knife-cut noodles.

This kind of Lanzhou ramen restaurant that flooded the streets of major cities was the only restaurant Zhang Yang had been to for a long time. A bowl of eight-yuan knife-cut noodles, eating flamboyant and sweating, in fact, sometimes you don't need anything delicious, and the earnest care and encouragement of your parents is the best condiment.

Back at the rental house, Zhang Yang secretly vowed that he must earn more money, so that his parents would not work hard and live a good life. Originally, because he used his perspective to buy lottery tickets during the day, it was an act of unearned gain, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Now that feeling is gone, he can pay whatever it takes to make his parents live a good life. What's more, I didn't steal or rob, I just used some means, compared with those who killed people and set fires, I was much better!

Find yourself a reason to use your abilities and advertise that you slept very soundly this night.

The next morning, Zhang Yang changed into a few old clothes, walked to the bus stop, and chose a route that had never been done before, Jincheng is so big, find a place where no one knows him to buy lottery tickets, and leave after redeeming the prize, I believe it will not arouse suspicion.

In order to keep it secret, Zhang Yang also went to the stall to buy a pair of black sunglasses, so that no one knew whether his eyes were open or closed. This is the best way for Zhang Yang to keep it secret.

After carefully checking what was not noticeable on his body, Zhang Yang walked into an inconspicuous lottery station.

Maybe it was early, except for the owner who sold lottery tickets, there was not a single customer.

Zhang Yang walked over quietly and said, "Boss, bring me a few scratch tickets, I'll pick one!" ”

The boss casually took out a pile of ten yuan scratch and said: "The new one came in the morning, I didn't bundle it, just pick it!" ”

Zhang Yang picked it up, the left eye behind the sunglasses was closed, the right eye passed one by one, and suddenly a number was printed into Zhang Yang's mind, the two numbers fifteen paired, and the prize amount below was 400,000, Zhang Yang several times, before drawing out this lottery ticket with a slight trembling.

He didn't have the heart for the rest anymore, so he took out two casually: "How much is the boss?" ”

"Thirty dollars." The boss put away the other lottery tickets and said.

Zhang Yang took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it over, pretending to ask casually: "Boss, if you win the first prize, where can you claim the prize!" ”

"Didn't it write above, Fucai Center! Good luck lad! The boss said with a smile.

"Promise your good words!" After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he took the lottery ticket and found a stool to sit down. Scratch the other two first, but they didn't hit, and sure enough, they still can't rely on luck! After sighing, Zhang Yang put all his attention on the last ticket.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be 400,000.

Zhang Yang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, scratched off the numbers one by one, and waited until the string of zeros behind 4 came out, Zhang Yang couldn't sit still anymore and stood up excitedly.

"Hit the jackpot, boy?" The boss quipped.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath and said, "I thought about it, but I didn't hit anything!" ”

As he spoke, he put away the ticket and kicked it in his pocket! The truth that wealth is not revealed is still known.

After speaking, Zhang Yang did not stay, and quickly walked out of the lottery station.

Walking on the road, Zhang Yang pressed the lottery ticket tightly in his pocket with one hand, he didn't dare to let go, every look on the street made Zhang Yang nervous! They won't know they've won!

Everyone who approached, Zhang Yang looked at each other with vigilant eyes, and after walking a few steps, his nervous sweat flowed out!

Zhang Yang didn't dare to sit on the bus, for fear that the lottery ticket would be stolen by thieves! This is money, 400,000 yuan, Zhang Yang don't say 400,000, even 40,000 yuan has never been seen, so why is he not particularly careful.

After walking on the road for half an hour, when there was no one left and right, Zhang Yang took out the lottery ticket again and counted the amount.

The past two days have been like a roller coaster, his heart will reach the peak and the valley bottom, and if it goes on like this, Zhang Yang doubts whether he will have a heart attack.

That's right, go claim your prize! What are you waiting for!

Zhang Yang gave himself a slap in the face, the money is not in his hand, it is all empty, it is better to take out the money to be more realistic.

For the grand prize of 400,000, Zhang Yang took a taxi for the first time. He is more afraid of meeting thieves on the bus, and now thieves are professionalized, one steals, one transfers, and a few cover. If it's really stolen, don't think about getting it back! Within minutes, your stuff will be transferred to another bus.
