Chapter 11 Buy a lottery ticket and win a prize
Josa got the strings on the guitar right and returned it to him, but the strings had rusted so much that they lost their original appearance under the polishing of the years, and basically the guitar was scrapped.
Josh gets to the point: "What are you doing out here".
Originally, Qiao Yang wanted to go back with He Meimei without thinking about sleeping, but he was woken up by Qiao Xia's question, so he said with a little grievance: "What else can I do, of course, I come out to sell art for my life, stand on the side of the road and sing to let them pay some money, don't treat this as a beggar, this is art, do you know, your father and I play art."
He emphasized the word 'art' several times, hypnotizing himself countless times that he was performing a noble artistic baptism, like the Vienna Golden Ballroom, in which he was playing, but one of the strings on his instrument was broken and could not be played.
No matter how fanciful he is, Qiao Xia always likes to find the key point, and said coldly: "So the family is running out of money, so you rely on this to support your family, right?"
Qiao Yang didn't know why, every time he talked to Qiao Xia, he always had an experience that made him embarrassed first, including that he couldn't pay the rent before and let the landlord kick him out, and now he can't live anymore and has to go to the street to buy art to survive.
Qiao Yang's face was a little red, the facts were all in front of him, and he also said the fact that he was about to run out of money, so he had to nod stubbornly. I still comforted myself in my heart: no matter how embarrassing things are, let Qiao Xia know, this should be nothing.
So his heart was a little weak, and he smiled at Qiao Xia, and his laughter trembled: "This has not happened before, alas, the main reason is that a few actors have been temporarily added to the repertory troupe, and the salary cannot be adjusted for a while, so it will be good to wait for a month."
"Aren't all the money for your drama actors paid by the state", a sentence was said by Qiao Xia mercilessly.
What did Qiao Yang say, saying that he would be abandoned, and it was very likely that he would not be able to go to power, and he could only get a guaranteed salary? Qiao Yang put the guitar away, ready to come and ignore the question given by Qiao Xia.
I saw that as soon as I stood up, my sleeve was pulled by Qiao Xia, who was still squatting, and Qiao Xia said to him with a serious expression: "I have a way to make you rich."
Yes, she has, Qiao Yang also thought of it, as long as he called Qiao Xia's rich uncle, saying that Qiao Xia had been kidnapped by him, and asked him to pay the money quickly. But this childish idea of money can only linger in his head and cannot be made.
Qiao Xia stood up and explained to him: "Do you know the lottery, it can make people rich overnight".
"Then you have to win", Qiao Yang half-opened his eyelids and said lazily, he didn't think about buying a lottery ticket, because the probability of winning the lottery was really too low, and he never thought that the pie that won the lottery could hit him on his head.
Qiao Xia nodded and continued: "There is a certain pattern to the winning numbers on each lottery ticket, and I have been studying this piece a lot, so I have calculated today's winning numbers, and you may win if you try it."
Qiao Xia understated as if she was very experienced in winning the lottery, Qiao Yang squinted and looked at her in disbelief, he knew that Qiao Xia was very smart, but this smart enough to calculate the lottery This kind of mathematical problem that even mathematicians have been difficult to solve for decades, Qiao Yang still doesn't believe it.
But it's not good to sweep away Qiao Xia's thirst for knowledge, you have to think that if you reject Qiao Xia, Qiao An's stinky boy will definitely come to him with righteousness. He found the nearest lottery shop, bought one according to the number given by Qiao Xia, looked at such an inconspicuous number in his hand, and looked at the lottery trend painted on the wall of the lottery shop.
Anyway, how did he look at the numbers on it, and joked to Qiao Xia next to him: "I'm going to fall from the balcony of our building with despair now, is it too late to win the lottery."
Qiao Xia obviously didn't understand Qiao Yang's humor, and wanted to ask for an explanation with a blank face, Qiao Yang didn't want to explain so much, so he took the lottery ticket and put it in his pocket, and led Qiao Xia home.
No matter how sluggish he was the day before, he could still greet the work with confidence in the drama club the next day. As soon as he arrived at work, he first greeted people warmly, and then saw the new faces of the younger generation yesterday, and he couldn't squeeze out a smile, and lived with two faces all day.
Old friend Lao Xu came again, he smiled, patted Qiao Yang's arms on both sides with both hands, as if announcing someone's happy event: "Old Qiao, it's amazing, your good luck is coming, the deputy head of a young talent who just took office yesterday, focusing on saying that this performance does not need young people to be the protagonists, what is really suitable for the age to play, this is not only a few veterans in our performance troupe, then you are selected to pick and choose, Lao Qiao, this is a great joy from heaven."
Lao Xu was happy for Qiao Yang, but Qiao Yang didn't react at all, as if he was petrified, and kept pestle in place. Lao Xu had to punch Qiao Yang in the chest to wake up.
He covered his chest, the punch was very painful, indicating that it was not a dream, his eyes were demented, but there was light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were smirking: "I'm going to be the protagonist, I'm going to be the protagonist."
After saying it a few times, Lao Xu also nodded with him: "Yes, yes, yes, it's true, congratulations on being dormant for a few years."
Lao Xu heard a story before, the story said that there was a candidate named Fan Jin, who couldn't pass the exam, and then he was admitted to the middle-aged re-exam, and since then the candidate has gone crazy. Recalling this story, Qiao Yang is now as good as him.
Qiao Yang didn't be happy for long, and the minister also came over, with a kind smile on his face, and he didn't know if he really came to congratulate him, in short, Qiao Yang accepted them one by one, "Old Qiao, there are really you, I haven't thought about giving up for so many years, and I really congratulate you on becoming the protagonist."
After the minister finished speaking, Qiao Yang pretended to be calm and nodded, what is this called, you looked down on me in the past, and now I will make you unaffordable. Qiao Yang now has this kind of artistic conception in his heart, and he smiled proudly at the minister, just like he met him with a young actor at the entrance of the building yesterday.
The minister didn't say too much to him: "The noble person you chose is the new deputy head of the regiment, he said to let you wait to see him, you wait and I'll take you there."
Saying that, the minister led Qiao Yang to the office in the troupe, Qiao Yang really hasn't been here for a few years, and this place is no different from the principal's office of Qiao Xia School, it is still a serious desk, a few pennants, and some equipment that the office should have, but he knows that not everyone has the ability to be led into it by the minister.
There is also the deputy head he is looking forward to, since he got the news, this deputy head has been sketching his face in his mind, if it is a woman, it is very elegant, if it is a man, it is very handsome, in short, it is all kinds of imagination.
Qiao Yang's imagination is very good, the deputy head of the regiment is a woman, and she looks like a leader of the younger generation, but this face always makes Qiao Yang a little familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere, it can't be the girl who teased in the bar before, it can't be impossible, how could the deputy head of the regiment go to that kind of place if he is so generous and decent.
The minister brought Qiao Yang here, and he went out consciously, leaving Qiao Yang alone to face the deputy head of the regiment, Qiao Yang almost knelt down for the deputy head of the regiment: "The deputy head of the regiment is really grateful to you for your insight and ability to recognize me, you can rest assured that I will act well."
Qiao Yang's ability to look at beautiful women has become bad for this young and beautiful deputy head of the group, and it has even raised the reborn parents at work who gave him the opportunity by a few grades.
But when the deputy head of the regiment heard Qiao Yang say this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Qiao Yang, you really don't know me", the deputy head of the regiment stroked his hair and brought it to his earlobe.
It turned out that when Qiao Yang was looking at the beautiful women in the bar before, he saw a group of thugs pouring wine around a woman in white, and the woman was powerless to stop the chicken and didn't want to drink, but the gangsters who were difficult for the strong man drank too much, and he poured the bottle into her mouth, Qiao Yang also drank a little too much at that time, and saw that the woman was on time, just like a gorgeous hero to save the beauty, but the gangsters were driven away by him, but a wine bottle was smashed on his head, and the wound on his head was left on his face along the hair, and he fainted on the spot.
When he woke up, the woman in white took him to the hospital, paid for the medical bills and disappeared, he stayed in the hospital for a few nights, and Qiao An talked to him for a few nights, nothing more than not knowing that he was still strong. Since then, he has never dared to act rashly.
But the woman in white actually appeared here before, and it was still his deputy head of the regiment, Qiao Yang recognized his face for a long time before he was impressed, I think it was because there were too many women who had experienced it, so many that I couldn't remember the face, but fortunately her experience was unforgettable, otherwise I really couldn't remember it, and I made a joke in front of the deputy head of the regiment.
"At the beginning, thank you so much, I originally sent you to the hospital and waited for you to wake up like thanking you in person, but there was an urgent matter at that time, so I left first, and when I was busy you have left, I inquired several times before I found out that you work in this drama troupe, and I just happened to be transferred here according to the arrangement, do you say that we have no fate", the deputy head said with a smile, and the words were unhurried and had the aura of everyone's lady.
Qiao Yang looked at her temperament and couldn't understand why she would go to a place like a bar, shouldn't she be a person who stays in the library like Qiao Xia, Qiao Yang smiled and said coincidentally.
At this time, the deputy head of the regiment stretched out his hand and put on an attitude of introducing himself: "My name is Chen Qiuyan, I usually call me the deputy head of the regiment to the outside, just call me Xiaoyan in life."
Qiao Yang also stretched out his hand and shook her, with a look of deflation: "This, how embarrassing is this." Qiao Yang smiled, the smile was deliberately very simple, Chen Qiuyan also believed in Qiao Yang's honesty, and with the foundation of heroes saving beauty, he became familiar with Qiao Yang at once.
As soon as he had the backer of this deputy head of the troupe, Qiao Yang's chin was raised to the stage in the repertory troupe, and he worked even harder during rehearsals, as if he wanted to let these younger generations see his fighting spirit.
When he goes home, he always has to bring two jumping poses, it seems that it is not enough to be happy in his heart, but also to spread outward, plus body movements to show his happiness, a burst of singing on the side of the road has limited his steps, and before it is dark, those street singers have come out to sing again.
People who listened to him sing well also threw money, banknotes, coins, and all of them were put into the black guitar box made of local materials, Qiao Yang found a pleasing look, and the good singing also threw a few coins, thinking that he was much better than them, at least yesterday he was thinking about making a living by singing, but now he has a new opportunity to perform.
As soon as he felt it, he went to another place to sell singers and cast some money, and took out the lottery ticket he bought yesterday, thinking that Qiao Xia said that he could calculate the winning number, he smiled, this can be regarded as the psychological comfort left by his daughter, and now he wants to leave this comfort and kindness to the next person.
So he also took out the lottery ticket and threw it into the guitar case, turned around and waved his arm at the singer as a chic farewell to him.
Qiao Yang walked very chicly, and he arrived home without taking a car, and when he went home, Qiao Xia was also his first day of school today, and Qiao An picked him up, so the two were preparing to cook dinner in the kitchen, and he couldn't wait to tell the two of them the good news.
