Chapter 066: Billions of Prizes in Memory
On Monday, Zuo Jiang and Song Kexin sent the household registration book and photos to the office of the Municipal Education Commission, and the staff of the office took out two personal natural information forms for them to fill in, this personal natural situation form is similar to the usual identity information form, nothing special, but Zuo Jiang found after filling in the name column that there is a column behind it is an English name, Zuo Jiang thought about it and wrote the words Harry Potter, because he liked Harry Potter very much, a genius magical boy.
Zuo Jiang and Song Kexin are looking forward to it in excitement, it is undeniable that the United States is very attractive to Zuo Jiang, his biggest wish in his previous life was to have the opportunity to visit the United States, if he did not have an accident in the post of Tongjiang stationmaster, as long as he was promoted to the first level of the sub-bureau leader, he would have the opportunity to go abroad for inspection, but the world made people, an accident ruined his future, what he didn't expect was that he would have the opportunity to go to the United States so soon after being reborn.
On October 25, Zuo Jiang and Song Kexin received a notice from the school that their passports had been issued and that they had gone to the Municipal Education Commission to return their household registration skills and receive a copy of the instructions for visiting abroad.
Zuo Jiang and Song Kexin soon received their household registration books and instructions for visiting abroad after arriving at the Municipal Education Commission, but they did not see what the passports looked like, so Zuo Jiang asked the staff of the Municipal Education Commission, and a staff member replied that the Provincial Department of Education stipulated that in order to ensure the absolute safety of the members of the delegation going abroad, passports were not issued to individuals and were managed by the delegation in a unified manner.
As soon as Zuo Jiang heard this, he understood in his heart what was going on, the passport was managed by the delegation in a unified manner to ensure the safety of the members of the delegation, and to put it nicely and soundly, it was actually because he was afraid that someone would leave the delegation and abscond and stay in the United States without permission. Zuo Jiang remembered that there were many such things in the 80s, when the political atmosphere was still very strong, and once such things happened, they would be condemned as treason, and the head and leader of the delegation would be punished.
The instructions for visiting abroad are actually a notice and disciplinary requirements of the Provincial Department of Education, which is to the effect that all students participating in this exchange of visits between Chinese and American middle school students must report to the Provincial Donghu Hotel at 8 o'clock in the morning on October 31, and the personnel of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office will conduct a one-day training before going abroad, take the 128th train from Songjiang to Beijing at 8:45 p.m., and take the flight from Beijing to New York on November 1 to fly to the United States.
The final notice emphasized that in addition to the provincial government's responsibility for all expenses during the visit to the United States, each member of the delegation will be given $100 in pocket money to purchase daily necessities during the visit to the United States. If an individual needs to purchase other goods while in the United States, the cost shall be paid by the individual, but the amount of foreign exchange carried by each person shall not exceed $2,000.
After Zuo Jiang went home and showed this notice to his parents, Li Shuyuan began to pack for him, from suitcases and bags to socks and underwear for him, and finally Li Shuyuan went to the bank to exchange $1,000 for Zuo Jiang and brought him, telling him not to buy things indiscriminately.
In a blink of an eye, it was October 30th, and after dinner in the evening, Li Shuyuan asked Zuo Jiang to rest early, because it would be good to set off tomorrow. Zuo Jiang returned to his cabin, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he had to open his eyes and think about his thoughts on the bed, thinking about his past life and various experiences after rebirth.
Thinking about a thought suddenly jumped into his mind, he was relegated to a staff school to be a teacher in his previous life, a day of idleness, and I can't remember what the reason suddenly fell in love with the economy, when he was fine, he was not watching economic news on the Internet or running to the library to check information, one day he saw in a yellowed digest that there was a poor truck driver in the United States, because he was so poor that he couldn't afford to support his family, his wife took his son to remarry, one day he got drunk, and bought a lottery ticket with only 2 dollars left in his pocket, As a result, he won a grand prize of $170 million.
Zuo Jiang still remembers this incident vividly, because the winning number of the lottery ticket he bought coincides with Zuo Jiang's birthday, so he remembers the winning time of the billionaire jackpot, which is November 1986, but the digest does not say which day in November, Zuo Jiang thought that his visit to the United States happened to be a whole month in November, and he couldn't help but feel excited, is this a special opportunity given to him by God!
Zuo Jiang's birthday is November 30, 1971, and his birthday is split into the winning numbers of the billions jackpot, 1, 7, 9, 11, 19, and 30. Zuo Jiang split his birthday date with his fingers, while counting the number of winning numbers, he could only count 6 numbers, and he couldn't count 7 at all, and he couldn't help but get anxious, how could a string of numbers that he remembered very firmly be missing!
Zuo Jiang's previous life because he saw the news of winning a billionaire jackpot, and also fantasized that one day he could win a jackpot, he was hooked on the lottery, at that time there were 30 7 and 36 7 and other ways to play, and then there was a two-color ball play, Zuo Jiang persevered to buy more than a year, and won a few 5 yuan of the last word, even 10 yuan of the prize has not been won. Almost all of the monthly salary money is dedicated to China's welfare and sports undertakings.
Later, when Zuo Jiang had a drink with a drinking friend, he complained about the lottery, and the drinking friend also drank too much, and after listening to Zuo Jiang's complaints, he said with a big tongue: "Old Zuo, do you know what hope is, do you know what disappointment is?" ”
Zuo Jiang looked at him and said inexplicably, "I don't know." ”
The drinking friend continued: "Lao Zuo, let me tell you, I hope to spend 2 yuan to buy a lottery ticket!" And the disappointment, is to buy a lot of lottery tickets! ”
Seeing that Zuo Jiang was silent, the drinking friend said with some disdain: "Cut, do you still believe in that play?" Why don't you have any money? Zuo Jiang listened to the words of his drinking friend, and since then he has quit the lottery.
Zuo Jiang lay on the bed and thought about it, but he couldn't remember what the missing number was, and he couldn't help but feel very depressed in his heart, could he just let this great opportunity flow away from his eyes in vain? No, never, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can I easily let it go!
Zuo Jiang thought about it and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Why am I so stupid!" At first, he thought that he must remember that number, and he got into the horns of the bull and couldn't extricate himself. When he really can't think of it and is ready to think about it tomorrow, this put down his eyes and it is a light up, yes, he already knows 6 numbers, and the difference of 1 number is not a problem at all, he can pack the number!
Zuo Jiang doesn't know how to play the lottery in the United States, from a stupid point of view, even if the American lottery is 36 to 7, he knows 6 of the numbers, with the remaining 30 numbers every time he buys 30 lottery tickets, even if the United States is like China, a lottery ticket 2 dollars, three times a week, then he buys 90 lottery tickets a week for $180, $720 for four weeks, and the $1000 his mother gave himself is enough!
Thinking about the key joints, Zuo Jiang was in a good mood, squinting his eyes and lying on the bed thinking about how to use the money after winning the lottery, how to use the money to make money, thinking about a better life in the future, and fell asleep unconsciously......
