Engineering for Life

Chapter 1 Winning the lottery

"Old Bazi, I'll go out for a walk, don't cook my food at noon!"

"Go, go, come back early in the evening, I'm going to close the iron gate!"

The old man sat in front of the open door of the container house, and the old earth dog who was too lazy to bark was also lying on the old man's lap to bask in the sun.

When Lin Yun is not here, this old earth dog is the old man's companion.

Yes, Lin Yun came to the warehouse again, and this is already the best result.

Because of that dog's day, Zhong Fatzi finally reported to the company that Lin Yun's handling decision was to be fired.

Fortunately, Zeng Cheng came back in time for his leave, perhaps out of pity for the weak, and changed the expulsion to transfer.

The company's appointment to Zeng Li was not affected by the turmoil, and it was still the first appointment, the manager in charge of the production of the company's various projects.

Those who are gracious, Lin Yun will remember, even if it is because of pity.

Those who have a grudge remember it more firmly.

This fat man on a dog day not only wanted to serve Lin Yun's bowl, but also wanted to smash Lin Yun's pot.

In fact, for Lin Yun, it doesn't matter if he is expelled or not, it's just that he can't go away so disgraced!

The gap between this fat man and himself is not too big, and it is gradually narrowing!

After returning to this dilapidated warehouse for more than three months, Lin Yun not only passed the second-level construction engineer exam, but also went to Changsha to pass the intermediate title.

I even got the driver's license I wanted!

In fact, there are gains and losses, and when I came here, I only lost more than 1,000 project job allowances every month, and it was less than 20,000 yuan a year.

But the ones I got tested for were all genuine.

The mindset is different, and the behavior changes.

The last time he was assigned here, Lin Yun was moldy in bed every day, and he didn't like to talk to the old man.

But this time is different, Lin Yun will go out every day, look around, buy a lottery ticket, redeem prizes, buy a bottle of drink, and buy a pack of cigarettes.

In the past, Lin Yun bought cigarettes one by one, but now Lin Yun buys them one by one.

One is to control the less pumping, and the other is to really have more contact with the world.

The person who distributes himself wants to make himself moldy, but he must not let himself become moldy!

The people in this world are not as good as Lin Yun wants, how can Lin Yun get their wishes.

"Beauty, get a pack of cigarettes!"

Lin Yun stood in the glass cabinet at the door of the convenience store, greeting the beautiful shopkeeper who was bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone.

"Or Liqun?"

"Hmm."

The beautiful boss of the convenience store took out a cigarette, and Lin Yun scanned the code to pay.

"Eh, beauty, what are so many people doing under the trees by the river opposite?"

"Oh, on the other side, there's a blind man telling fortunes, and he's counting accurately!"

Fortune tellers, look at it.

Look at this so-called blind man, can he figure out his own two or two cheap lives. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, and if you say it well, Uncle Lin will reward you with money for cigarettes and alcohol.

When Lin Yun took a closer look, he saw a lot of excitement.

A slender little girl of medium height, it seems that she is a student who has just left the campus, her youth has not faded, and her temperament can be seen from her clothes, after all, Lin Yun is also known as Lin Banxian.

"Little girl, your life is a phoenix falling on the grass!"

“……”

The blind old man's dry hand grabbed the little girl's round and full hand, which looked more like taking advantage, and the little girl was a little shy and did not answer.

"Old man, what do you mean by a phoenix falling on the grass?"

Lin Yun was also curious, but it was faster to see the lively mouth.

As for the blind old man, this is what he wants, no one asks, no one pays attention, and it is not easy to buy it himself.

Those who sing opera must have a cheer, and those who tell stories must have applause.

Fortune tellers must have someone to ask questions, so that they can tell you and solve the confusion of your life.

This hand of fortune teller is very similar to the interaction between teachers and students during class.

"The phoenix is a sacred bird, and the grass house is a thatched house, of course it is not a toilet, it is a thatched house. Why did this phoenix fall in a thatched house, girl, your family is not very good! ”

"Hmm!"

"That's right, girl, you belong to the fate of good luck, this phoenix is the most exquisite, it is not the sycamore tree that does not live, and it is not what you want to fall on the grass house, I will send the girl eight words, flutter her wings and fly high, there will be a good fate."

Lin Yun thinks that this blind man is nonsense, what does it mean to fly high, there must be a good fate?

This little girl is very beautiful, just out of the university gate, wipe her eyes a little, 100% can find a good family, even if you are not in a hurry to get married, a little harder, it is easy to change the status quo, this is up to you.

But the little girl eats this set very much, the woman's fortune telling is nothing more than asking about marriage, this blind man even said marriage and future together, the little girl naturally believes it!

is another charlatan, about this blind man is wearing sunglasses, and when he sees it, he can naturally judge.

Forget it, go and redeem the lottery ticket, Lin Yun, who originally wanted the old man to tell his fortune, was not interested in it for a while, you are a fortune teller, you can't even come out of the Heavenly Court Full Pavilion, and you dare to tell fortunes.

The Welfare Lottery store is only about 300 meters away from Lin Yun's warehouse, which is an old residential area to be developed, which is slightly better than the urban-rural junction.

Wait for Lin Yun to go to the lottery shop and hand the lottery ticket to the boss and let the boss claim the prize.

"You can't redeem this!"

"Why can't I redeem it, the third prize has a fixed bonus of 3,000!"

Lin Yun stared straight at the boss, since he came to guard this warehouse, he spent three or five hundred to buy lottery tickets here every month, not to mention spending thousands, I won the third prize, you told me that I couldn't redeem it, this is not a pit person!

"No, you read it wrong, the third prize is 5+1, you are the first 6 numbers, not the third prize, but the second prize, more than 5,000 we can't redeem it here."

"What do you say?"

"You are the second prize,Participated in five thousand of us can't redeem here,You must go to the Fucai Center to redeem the prize."

“……”

Wait for Lin Yun to go to the Fucai Center to redeem the prize according to the boss, after a set of complicated procedures in the clouds.

At the bank next to him, Lin Yun asked three times how long it would take for the money to arrive, and then returned to the warehouse nervously.

24 hours to your account?

After deducting taxes, he donated 10,000 yuan, and there are still more than 200,000 yuan?

What is it?

Luck?

Luck?

Why didn't you come earlier?

Over the years, I have worked more than just earned so much money!

Why are you so excited?

Because Lin Yun has never had to get such a large sum of money at one time!

didn't sleep all night, Lin Yun was waiting for dawn and waiting for the money to arrive.

Lin Yun received the information about the arrival of the account almost the next night, and only then did he feel that this did not seem to be a dream, but was real.

The money arrived, and Lin Yun was so excited that he messed around the house, and it took him more than half an hour to slowly calm down his mood.

After waiting for the mood to calm down, Lin Yun came out and told the old man not to cook his own dinner, and then returned to the room and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Waiting for this windfall to arrive, Lin Yun waited for twenty-seven or eight hours without closing his eyes.

Ordinary people, for no reason, get such a large amount of money, and everyone is in the clouds, and it takes time to digest it well.

In fact, this warehouse is not bad, and no one cares, you can sleep when you want, and you can get up at what time you want.

The only thing is to cook by himself, but Lin Erzhuzi can't cook, so he subsidizes the old man at a price of five yuan a day and 150 per month, and the old man buys vegetables and cooks, and then the two of them eat how much money they eat in a month.

The old man's surname is Ba, and Lin Yun likes to call him Lao Bazi.

Lao Bazi's legs are a little lame, sixty-five or sixteen years old, it seems that he is a lonely old man with no children and no daughters, because Lin Yun has never seen anyone call him, nor has he seen anyone call him, Lin Yun asked him about his family situation, but he didn't say.

Poor people, even if they are not lonely old people, children do not contact, it is indeed a bit excessive.

Lin Yun has been with this old man for almost a year, and he only recently learned from the old man that the old man was also an employee of the company, and he was engaged in blasting and bombing mountains.

Lao Bazi's lame leg was broken during the blasting and evacuation more than 20 years ago.

retired a few years ago, and it is said that he had already received a retirement salary of three or four thousand to enjoy his old age, but after the old man retired, he went to the leader again, saying that he had no wife, could he arrange a job for himself, and he couldn't be idle alone.

So I came to guard this abandoned warehouse, and if I retired at the age of 60, the old man guarded the warehouse for five or six years.

In fact, it is said to be a warehouse, most of the things are placed in the open air, a row of bungalows more than a dozen, three irregular walls, enclosing more than a dozen acres of land.

The location of the iron gate of the fence is a container board house, which is the residence of the old man and the dog.

It is surrounded by dilapidated buildings and a potholed concrete road that runs across the iron gate.

The cement road is about 200 meters away, and there is an avenue along the river, and Lin Yun often buys cigarettes or something on the avenue along the river.

Only a few bungalows in the warehouse were filled with things, and the rest were empty.

Except for Lin Yun, who had a key to the bungalow used as a dormitory, the rest of the keys were in the old man's hands, and Lin Yun had never entered the empty room, and Lin Yun had never seen the old man open the locked door.

There is not even a network in this shabby place, and Lin Yun's computer on the dilapidated office desk in the dormitory cannot be connected to the network of the nearby residential house, and the network signal cannot be found at all.

These waste machinery in the yard, old excavators, rollers, loaders, all kinds of mess, are they not good to sell, they are put here in the sun and rain.

But this is just Lin Yun's idea, in fact, these are all registered state-owned assets, and no one dares to sell them easily.

On paper, it is state-owned assets, and here it is broken copper and iron, and the bank will not care about these, this is an asset, and it can be mortgaged, but Lin Yun will not know these now.

In fact, the most important thing is the land under your feet, a bunch of broken copper and iron belonging to state-owned assets are placed here, and the land under your feet is the largest state-owned assets.

The old man still has a house in this provincial capital, because there are a few fixed days every month, and the old man will tell Lin Yun not to run around, saying that he has to collect rent.

According to the fact that every time he goes out, he goes out early and returns late, and it takes two or three days each time, Lin Yun deduces that there must be more than one house for this old man.

Lin Yun had no dreams all night, he really didn't dream, his excitement was a little too much, and he naturally slept in the dark.

slept directly until noon the next day, or the old man came to call Lin Yun, and Lin Yun got up.

Since last night, he has slept without eating, and he hasn't gotten up yet, and the old man thinks that Lin Yun is sick.

It's August, and there is no air conditioning in this dilapidated house, but fortunately it is not too far from the river, and the side of this dilapidated warehouse is facing the river, and there is a little wind.

The old man shouted outside the window, Lin Yun got up from the bed, casually put on a pair of shorts, a pair of slippers, and no top, so he came to the old man's container.

There is no natural gas in this warehouse, and the old man cooks rice cookers and electric frying pans.

Neither of them was particular about it, so they each took the dishes and chopsticks and began to add rice and eat.

The old man is a very clean person, so Lin Yun will eat the food he cooks, the house is clean, and there is no smell of the old man who does not take a bath often.

On a table, there is meat and a vegetable, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded pork with bitter gourd.

In fact, this table is not a table, but a few bricks, and a boxy red board is placed on it.
