But how should I give the 8,000 dollars to my mother? I'm afraid it won't work to buy a lottery ticket again, I have won 50,000 last time, and this time I won 8,000, I'm afraid that my parents will be suspicious. It's even worse to throw it directly on the road and let my mother pick it up, although she has no culture, she won't take this kind of money, and she will hand it over to the police station when she turns around, I know her too well.

Even after thinking of several ways, he was vetoed by himself, and even giving money has become a difficult thing these days. I never had an idea, so the matter had to be put on hold. When I went to the toilet outside at night, I took the opportunity to call Xia Xue. Xia Xue asked me why I just called now, and I didn't hide it, and told me about the current situation of my family. Xia Xue said: "It's not easy for uncles and aunts, or I will take out some of the New Year's money......" I said seriously: "No, that's your money." "You really can't ask for this money, so it's undoubtedly a handout. Xia Xue said pitifully: "I really want to marry into your family as soon as possible, so that there is no distinction between you and me." ”

I joked, "Are you willing to marry into my family, there is no heating in winter, and the four walls are leaking." Xia Xue said heavily: "Well, I am willing!" "It really touched my heart. I said seriously: "Xia Xue, thank you for your kindness, I will find a way to make money by myself." After chatting with Xia Xue for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

From the next day, I took on my mother's cleaning duties, cleaning twice a day, once at 7 a.m. and once at 5 p.m. It's about a kilometer long street, and you can go home when you clean it. Five o'clock in the afternoon was better, but at seven o'clock in the morning, I was really going to freeze to death, no matter how thick the clothes I was wearing, how thick the gloves were, the cool breeze swished in, so cold that I couldn't even take a step. However, I can reduce the burden on my mother, and I am willing to do it no matter how hard and tired I am.

At first, my mother rushed with me to do it, but then I couldn't help it, so I let it go. But she was never idle, I went out at seven o'clock to clean, and she got up at half past six to cook for me. No matter what kind of rice you eat, there are always two poached eggs lying at the bottom of the bowl. I advised her not to work so hard, but she always said that I was growing my body and that I had to eat better. Every morning after eating, I put on my gear, put on my mask and gloves, and went out in the starry sky with a broom and a bucket. My mother didn't earn much money doing this job, fifteen yuan a day, and only four hundred and fifty yuan a month, and it was even more sad to see her suffer for this money.

After more than ten days like this, it was about to approach the end of the year, and my father also called and said that he would be back soon. Mother Zhang Luo bought New Year's goods, and also made a list at home, and it was divided into categories. Snacks include peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and biscuits. Fruits and melons include apples, oranges, and grapes. Meat and vegetables include fish, beef, pork, cabbage, tofu, green peppers, tomatoes, green onions, ......

The mother made the list, and a smile finally broke out on her sad face. These things may seem like a lot, but they don't really cost much. Early in the morning, my mother went out with 500 yuan, and I didn't go with her because I had to clean. After sweeping the street, I was tired and sweaty, so I went home to wash up, and then called Xia Xue to chat. After a while, I heard a knock at the door, and my mother seemed to have returned. But she didn't go into the living room, but went straight to the kitchen. I bought so many things, of course, to put them in the kitchen, and my family didn't buy a refrigerator at that time. Since I couldn't get my mother to send me my phone, I hung up the phone in a hurry and went to the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I happily said, "Mom, have you bought all the things?" Then she froze, for her mother was sitting on the stove wiping her tears. I was surprised and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" "When my mother saw me coming in, she turned her head and wiped her tears from the hem of her clothes. When I looked around, there were only cabbage and potatoes. I ran to my mother, took her arm and said, "Mom, what's going on?" The mother lowered her head and said with tears in her eyes: "It's useless, the money has been stolen!" ”

I asked what happened. It turns out that it is close to the end of the year, and the farmers' market in Dongguan Town is also very lively, and thieves are the most rampant at this time of year. My mother wrapped the money in her pocket with a handkerchief, and after a while she had to touch it with her hand to see if it was still there. Just when my mother had just bought a few cabbages, when she touched her pocket again, the handkerchief wrapped in money was gone, and there was a long knife on the pocket. The mother turned around in a panic, and a tall, curly-haired man was leaving in a hurry. Without saying a word, the mother pounced on the man, grabbed the man's arm and demanded that he pay him back. The man claimed that he was wronged, and the more and more people gathered, the man spread his arms and said that you can search as you like, and if you find it, you will take it. His mother searched his pocket, but of course found nothing.

"Mom, you've fallen for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain!" I said anxiously: "That man is the one who attracted you to chase him, and the one who really stole the money would have fled a long time ago!" They must be accomplices in this scheme to sway you. ”

"I don't know this!" The mother said sadly, "I didn't find any money on him, so I had to come back first, and I only bought a few things!" Pointing to the cabbage and potatoes in the corner, "I would have bought meat first, what can I do, the little money your father earned also said that he would pay you for the next semester's tuition, and the money I earned from cleaning was just enough for our ...... for the New Year."

I was so angry that I immediately turned around and rushed out the door, and ran to the farmer's market to find the tall, curly-haired man my mother said, and there should not be many who could meet both characteristics at the same time. But the farmers' market was crowded, and I couldn't find it after looking around. In desperation, I had to come back first. Thinking of my mother's sadness, I had to find a way to give her the money. Passing by the lottery shop, I hesitated and walked in. Other than that, I really can't think of a better trick.

When I got home, my mother was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and when she saw me coming in, she looked guilty and blamed herself.

I feigned sadness and said, "I didn't find the man." ”

The mother said, "Don't go to someone, they are adults, so what can you do if you find them?" And they also have accomplices! ”

I nodded yes, ran to my mother's side and said, "Mom, have you ever heard the idiom 'no Ji Tailai'?" ”

My mother, who hadn't read much, asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

I said happily: "This idiom means that when adversity reaches the extreme, it will transform into good times, which means that bad luck is coming to an end, and good luck is coming!" If you lose your money this time, maybe it's a sign that you're going to have more money waiting for you? Do you remember when your father was laid off? That was the most unlucky time for our family, right? As a result, Dad bought a lottery ticket casually and won 50,000 yuan! ”

"You mean I'm going to buy a lottery ticket too."

"Mom, you're so smart!" I patted her on the back of the hand and said happily, "Maybe I can get it again?" But this time it's not as unlucky as last time, if it's not very 'no', it won't be very 'Thai', and it will definitely not be tens of thousands of dollars like Dad, but it is still possible to win a few thousand dollars. Why don't you give it a try? ”

"No, no, no." Mother said very resolutely: "Last time, your dad was lucky with shit, and probably used up all the good luck of his life." I won't spend that unjust money, it's better to buy two green onions. ”

"Mommy!" I reluctantly said, "It's just two dollars, let's try it." It's hard to get lucky once, maybe it will make you rich. If you don't need my money, you haven't spent my living expenses yet. ”

To put it mildly, I finally pulled my mother out of the house and ran to the lottery shop on the street. When I got to the store, my mother reluctantly took out two dollars and bought a lottery ticket while muttering "It's a waste." Two days later, I pulled my mother to the store again, and the boss was very cooperative and said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law, you won the third prize, 8,000 yuan!" There are still more than 7,000 after tax deduction, you leave me a bank account number, and the organizer will put the bonus in! ”

The mother looked stunned, pinched herself twice, and after making sure that she was not dreaming, she said, "Really? Do I have this life too? The boss smiled and said, "Yes, yes!" You, like my eldest brother, are good lives! You have to invite me to dinner again this time......" The mother nodded again and again and said, "Definitely, definitely, when Lao Wang comes back, I will ask him to ask you to drink!" ”

My mother and I left the lottery shop happily, and I happily said, "Mom, you and my dad have this fate!" ”

The mother said, "Just this once, I will never buy it again, I know what my life is!" God sees that I'm too bitter, give me a little sweetness! I'll go back and kowtow to him and burn incense. Your dad wants to know dào, and he will be even happier to death! ”

I smiled and said, "Last time I pulled my dad to buy a lottery ticket, I won 50,000 yuan at once; This time, I pulled you to buy a lottery ticket again, and I won another 8,000 at once. Mom, I'm our family's lucky star! ”

"Yes, you are the great fortune star of the old Wang family!" The mother couldn't hide the joy on her face, and the wrinkles were stretched.

"Since I'm a lucky star, can I use this money?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want our family to have a good year!" I said seriously, "Mom, don't give me money to go to college and marry my daughter-in-law." As the saying goes: 'Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why should fathers and mothers be cows and horses?' 'Do you think I'm going to be incompetent in the future?' Wouldn't it be useful to live on the hard-earned money you and your dad saved? Mom, if you believe in my ability and believe that I can make more money in the future, don't save these 8,000 yuan, take it out for a good New Year! ”

My mother was also a little excited when she heard my words: "My son has grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for my parents." Okay, just listen to you once, let's squander it and have a happy year! ”
