Chapter 28: A Strange Way to Make Money
I'm so hungry!
Lin Jingtian dragged his body as heavy as lead, came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and as expected, it was empty. The frozen food, bread, milk, fruit, and even the bottled beer and mineral water that usually fill the refrigerator have all been emptied, and nothing has been left.
Ay! How could he be so cruel to himself, and he didn't leave a bite to eat.
In the past few days, the money has not been borrowed, and there are a lot of dinners to borrow money. No, the money from the mortgage of the big gold chain has also been used up. The 20,000 yuan that my mother lent to me before was looted by the people who came to demand the payment of water and electricity property fees.
By the way, didn't my uncle say last time that he could pay back one or two thousand yuan first, and he should stop calling and asking.
The call went out several times, and it finally got through.
"Uncle, it's me, little God."
"Oh my God, what's the matter? I'm paying for your nephew's training first. ”
Pay the training fee of a ghost, and the sound of mahjong rubbing came from the mobile phone. Lin Jingtian suppressed his emotions and said, "Didn't you say last time that you could pay me back one or two thousand yuan first?" Where are you now? I just had the time. ”
"It's inconvenient now, didn't you say you didn't need that money last time, so I used it to pay for your nephew's training, and now I don't have any extra money, I'm really embarrassed."
"Huh?!"
As soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of the mobile phone being hung, Lin Jingtian was indignant in his heart, what kind of world is this now, he was a grandson when he borrowed money, and he was still a grandson when he was collecting debts.
Ay! I don't know what else I don't need at home and can be exchanged for money?
Thinking about it, Lin Jingtian remembered the piece of jade he had collected.
I remember that when I just found a famous local jade carver with that piece of material, the jade carver looked at it and applauded loudly, saying that he had never seen this kind of good material for so many years, whether it was color, oiliness or fat, it was desirable.
Lin Jingtian held the jade in both hands, thinking in his heart, if he could sell it, he would definitely be able to alleviate his predicament at this time, right?
However, this piece of jade was intended to be given to Roland.
After going downstairs to buy two steamed buns, Lin Jingtian set off in the direction of the jewelry store.
Sell? Not for sale? Sell? Not for sale? ……
Lin Jingtian held the piece of jade in both hands, and wandered and wandered in the jewelry store, causing the two female clerks of the jewelry store to whisper, not knowing what they were talking about.
In front of the double-glazed window of the jewelry store, Lin Jingtian finally had leisure to see his current image: although he is still handsome, his state is obviously not as good as before, the scribbled stubble has not been taken care of for many days, and there is a strong sense of despair all over his body, especially the hairstyle, the hair is messy and frizzy.
It seems that this life is scribbled, and the image can only be scribbled together.
In this way, he struggled at the door of the jewelry store for almost half an hour, and in the end, Lin Jingtian sighed deeply and decided to give up.
Just wandering aimlessly, unconsciously, Lin Jingtian came to a lottery betting station, and a billboard was set up in red and black at the door: "Dear, no matter how busy you are at work, don't forget to bet on two-color balls, after all, it is much more difficult for you to earn 10 million than for you to win 10 million." ”
"Holy!"
Lin Jingtian felt that it made sense, so he walked in.
The two-color ball is opened three times a week, and the lottery is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and today is Sunday, so there are more people in the lottery station, and they are basically a group of ragged middle-aged and elderly migrant workers, looking at the trend chart, and studying carefully.
With this spirit of concentration and perseverance, if it had been used for study, it is estimated that Tsinghua University and Peking University would have been used long ago.
Although he was laughing at others in his heart, Lin Jingtian soon asked the boss for paper and pens, and joined the group of people who were still being ridiculed by himself.
Lin Jingtian rummaged through his pockets and found that there were only about 200 yuan left on his body, so while analyzing the trend chart, he peeked at other people's numbers, and finally filled in a double entry of nine red and one blue, and spent 168 yuan on his body, trying to start a reversal of his life in this seemingly absurd and hopeless way for others.
Lin Jingtian has also bought lottery tickets for a long time before, basically buying a note for each period, but it is purely a chance. At that time, I was still thinking, what if I got hit? Will he lose the fighting spirit to continue to fight because of this large windfall, and then become the farmer who waits for nothing in the story of the rabbit.
Although every time the lottery is drawn, the results always prove how ridiculous the previous psychology of worrying about getting rich is, but Lin Jingtian does not feel lost at all, but is very relieved in his heart, feeling that it is good that this unrealistic dream has not been realized, and he can finally do something realistic.
But this time, Lin Jingtian wanted to win it once like never before, just like that, although now this wish is as desirable but ethereal as a mirage, but the desire in front of him to only have a chance of winning in billions of dollars is already a reason to support himself to continue to hold on in the unsatisfactory reality.
Even if you win the second prize, all the things in front of you can be solved, you can settle the wages of the staff, and you can give some compensation to the aunts and uncles who come to urge them to return the goods.
If you really hit 10 million, these broken things in front of you are all trivial, you can change to a better car, the Audi A8L that you have coveted for a long time, I was fortunate enough to test drive once, 3.0T supercharged with Audi's classic quattro four-wheel drive system, it is not too perfect.
Also, the salesman who often makes sales calls to himself, said that there is about to open a new real estate in Qingdao Dajian Mountain, near the subway entrance, the surrounding facilities are complete, and the garden houses for sale are only more than 20,000 yuan.
What should I wear when I go to receive the prize? Wearing a trench coat and sunglasses? Wearing a hat and a mask? Or do you put on all kinds of exaggerated masks and wear all kinds of doll costumes to receive the award, as you usually do in the news reports?
How can it be?!
I finally won the lottery, so I must show my face, I have to show my face generously and dignifiedly, and let the turtle grandchildren who refused to borrow their money some time ago see, my Grandpa Lin finally turned over today!
Everything is ready, only the winning prize is owed.
Lin Jingtian clutched the lottery ticket with his hand, and decided to get a haircut first, maybe Ming'er would be a rich man, and this image must have a rich man's appearance.
However, the 188 yuan haircut service under the community is temporarily unaffordable, Lin Jingtian walked a long way, came to the nearby urban village, saw a shop with a 10 yuan haircut at the door, and walked in. At the time of checkout, I gave the barber an extra 8 yuan, and the barber took a few loose tickets, and he was very happy, and he wished the boss a fortune. Lin Jingtian, who heard this compliment, was even more fluttering.
Soon, at 9:14 in the evening, Lin Jingtian sat in front of the computer, tremblingly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, shivered and lit it with a lighter, put it in his mouth, and then took a deep puff of the cigarette, sprayed the smoke on the computer screen, and then took the lottery ticket in one hand, touched the mouse with the other, and began to compare the numbers one by one, as a result, none of them hit!
Lin Jingangel tore off the lottery ticket with all his strength, and then sat directly on the chair like an inflatable doll that had been released.
Deceitful, all deceitful!
