Chapter 924: This Big Prize, Even the God of Wealth Can’t Take It Away (Two in One)

In the afternoon after Li Ye returned from visiting the grave, he took his two younger sisters to visit Principal Chang's home.

He and Li Juan both graduated from the County No. 2 Middle School, and their younger sister Li Ying also studied at the County No. 2 Middle School for half a year, so the three siblings are all students of Principal Chang.

However, when the three of them drove halfway, they discovered that the street in front of them was impassable and overcrowded with people.

Li Ye said strangely: "Today is already twenty-nine! Why are there so many people?"

The fair in Qingshui County usually happens every five or ten days, that is, there is one market every five days. A year ago, there was a market every day, but tomorrow is the last day. Every household has bought everything they should buy, and it is freezing cold. If you can't sell three melons or two dates, how can there be so many people?

"Brother, wait a minute, I'll go over and inquire."

My sister Xiaoying opened the car door and went out to explore the road. She is a child! Curiosity is heavy.

After a while, Xiaoying ran back excitedly and said: "Brother, there are prizes ahead! For two yuan, you can touch a National Taiwan University color TV and a motorcycle."

"It's a prize! No wonder there are so many people! Come up and let's go."

Li Ye greeted Li Ying to get in the car and was about to turn around and take a detour. He knew how attractive things like raffle prizes were. As long as the organizer did not close the stall, the people in front of them would not be able to disperse.

In 1987, the state approved the issuance of "China Social Welfare Prize-winning Vouchers" to raise social welfare funds and develop social welfare undertakings with the main content of "taking care of the elderly, supporting the young, assisting the disabled, and relieving the poor", opening a new era of welfare lottery in the mainland. era,

But ordinary people can't remember such a long name at all, so they know that it is a "lucky prize", and whether they can win it all depends on their luck.

This thing is addictive. If you can't touch it, it's not because you're not lucky, but because your luck "hasn't come". Maybe it will come next time!

But Li Ye turned the 213 jeep around, but Li Ying did not get on the bus. Instead, she encouraged Li Ye and said, "Brother, let's go and touch the prize too! Someone in front touched the big color TV set!"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh: "You haven't seen the Mark Six Lottery in Hong Kong Island? Can you win that thing?"

The gaming industry on Hong Kong Island is very developed, so Li Ye thinks that Li Ying can understand the truth inside.

But Li Ying said naturally: "You can win! My classmate's mother won 20,000 yuan once!"

I originally wanted to try to buy a bet, but my mother gave me a severe beating. She said that the gods over there don’t know us, and we will lose every time we bet.”

"Hahahaha, just beat you up. It may not be true that ten times you bet and ten times you lose, but nine times out of ten you bet and you lose, it's definitely true."

Li Ye burst out laughing, and his sister Li Juan also said with disdain: "It's a shame you're still in high school! Didn't you even think about probability? You only have one in ten thousand chance of trying your luck to get rich."

Faced with her sister's contempt and her brother's jokes, Li Ying still didn't give up. She muttered, "I just want to see if the gods here know us. For two yuan per person, I'll treat you."

"."

"Okay, then I'll spend two dollars to teach you a lesson. Remember to write a summary when you get back! Two dollars can't be wasted."

Li Ye turned off the engine and got out of the car, and squeezed in with his two sisters.

There are many people around, some are queuing, some are waiting and watching, and some lawless elements are looking for fat sheep.

However, whenever there was a commotion in front, it was because someone had won a prize such as a radio recorder or a washing machine. Although there had never been any big prizes such as color TVs and motorcycles, the popularity of the scene had always been maintained well.

The three brothers and sisters waited in line for more than ten minutes. Each of them spent two yuan to buy a small folded paper bag sealed with thumbtacks. Then the staff stamped them with a look that looked like a fool.

The anti-counterfeiting technology of this thing is very low, and it is easy to cause trouble if it is not stamped.

Then, comes the exciting moment.

Li Juan, who had been despising Li Ying just now, was the first to open the small paper bag. It can be seen that everyone has the gambling spirit of "using small things to gain big things".

Sister Li Ying came over and said, "Sister, what did you touch? Two pieces of soap? How much does a piece of soap cost now?"

Sister Li Juan pouted and said regretfully: "I knew that ninety-nine percent of the time I would lose, and it's all my fault for being greedy."

"Hey, sister, you didn't blame me this time? Look what I touched?"

Li Ying also eagerly opened her paper bag. After a moment of confusion, she said with a click of her tongue: "I'm a little better than you, sister. I have a small radio."

Li Juan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, okay, I'm back to my roots."

Although the radio from 1988 was no longer considered a valuable electrical appliance, the cheapest radio cost more than six yuan, so Li Juan's regrets were immediately resolved.

Then the two sisters looked at Li Ye: "Brother, look at your luck?"

Li Ye smiled and opened the folded paper bag: "Now that we have soap, two towels will be a perfect match, right?"

Li Ye opened the paper bag and was surprised to find that it was a bicycle.

"Brother, you actually touched a bicycle~, you made a lot of money, you made a lot of money."

Li Ying was a scumbag who was proficient in arithmetic. She immediately calculated her investment of six yuan and gained twenty-six times the profit.

The people watching around also cast envious glances, especially those who touched the soap and towels.

Before the lottery, many people's expectations were for motorcycles, or at worst, color TVs. But after the failure, it basically became "bicycles are also good".

"Let's go! I just gave it to Principal Chang after I received the award. I remember his bicycle is very old."

Li Ye turned around and went to receive the award, but his little sister Li Ying held his arm firmly.

"Brother, brother, if you touch it a few more times, I will pay you to be the master of Laohuai. We will definitely get that motorcycle away."

Li Ye suddenly understood, no wonder Li Ying insisted on winning the prize just now! Daqingqing wanted to see if he, who had a special relationship with Master Lao Huai, could show his spiritual power on Master Lao Huai's territory, right?

But let alone Mr. Huai, even if the God of Wealth comes down to earth in person, he may not be able to take away the motorcycle!

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye took the bicycle he just picked up and knocked on Principal Chang's door.

Principal Chang opened the door and saw Li Ye, his face seemed a little unnatural, and asked strangely: "Hey, Li Ye, why are you here today?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "Principal Chang, we are going to the capital this year to celebrate the New Year. We can't come to wish you a happy New Year in the first year of junior high school, so I just came to wish you a happy New Year!"

Principal Chang looked at what Li Juan and Li Ying were carrying, and said with a smile: "Okay! Are you paying New Year's greetings or sending New Year's greetings? Bring me so many things?"

The clever Li Ying explained sweetly: "Principal Chang, my grandpa and grandma prepared these things for you. It's just a little bit of care. But the bicycle outside was prepared by my sister and brother for six yuan. money."

Principal Chang looked at the brand-new bicycle in surprise: "A bicycle that costs six yuan?"

Li Ying nodded and said, "Yes, when we came here, we happened to encounter a prize draw on West Street, so we agreed that each of us would spend two yuan to draw something as a gift for Principal Chang."

"Hey, you three really figured it out, but this bike is too valuable. I can't take it, I can't take it."

Principal Chang was funny and happy. What was funny was that the way these three children gave gifts was really weird. What was funny was that they touched the bicycle and still took it to give away.

People are selfish, so even if you give away a tape recorder, you will probably regret it if you buy a bicycle.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Principal Chang, you're welcome. If you are still working in the County No. 2 Middle School, it would not be appropriate to give you a bicycle, but you are retired, so what else is inappropriate?"

Besides, our family no longer needs bicycles, and they will get rusty even if they are kept at home, right? "

"Hahaha, Li Ye, you are still good at talking, so I'll accept it!"

If Principal Chang was still the principal of the No. 2 Middle School in the county, then Li Ye would be suspected of bribery by sending things. But now that he has retired, doesn't the more expensive the gifts from his former students prove, the more he has a lot of talent all over the world?

But as soon as Principal Chang finished speaking, a voice came from the room.

"Aren't the people in Lao Li's family able to use bicycles now? That's right, each of you has a car now!"

"."

The three brothers and sisters Li Ye were stunned, and Li Ye frowned slightly.

Li Ying immediately entered Principal Chang's home angrily, without any intention of being a guest.

Even though she is small, she actually has quite a temper! Who is this being weird?

"Hey, it turns out to be Teacher Xia Yue! How come it's such a coincidence that I meet you everywhere?"

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye didn't expect to meet Xia Yue at Principal Chang's house, because usually, Xia Yue only came to pay Principal Chang's New Year greetings on the first day of the new year.

Only now did Li Ye understand why Principal Chang's face looked a little unnatural when he opened the door just now.

Ever since Li Zhongfa arrested Xia Yue and Cui Aiguo in the capital, the old Li family has actually developed a grudge against Xia Yue.

Although many people wanted to cover up the matter and did not spread the details of the "just killing of relatives", Li Kaijian and Jin Peng angrily pushed away the ancestral grave of a certain family member.

Even if only the head part of the grave was pushed up and the underground coffin was not moved, it is still a strange news in Qingshui County in recent years, and it has been widely spread by everyone.

Then, everyone knew that people from the food system went to the capital and angered the Li family at Wang Jianqiang's wedding. The reason for the anger was that Xia Yue's husband, Cui Aiguo, had embezzled public funds. The other party wanted to have something to do with Li Zhongfa. .

So when Principal Chang saw Li Ye coming, he was afraid that he and Xia Yue would have a conflict.

But just now Xia Yue took the initiative to provoke, and Principal Chang was a little confused. You are obviously the one who is wronged, why are you still saying something thorny?

Moreover, the youngest daughter of the Li family is also showing her teeth and claws as if she is about to fight. She won't be performing a full-scale martial arts show in her home today, right?

Faced with Li Ying's strange questioning, Xia Yue was not frightened at all. She said with a sarcastic face: "Of course I am here to thank Principal Chang for his help! A few days ago, someone made trouble for me. A pregnant woman was almost desperate. Relatives and friends But you can't avoid me,"

"It was Principal Chang who helped me transfer to a new job and gave me and my children a chance to live. Unlike some people who look noble and kind, but are full of viciousness in their hearts."

"What did you say? Say it again?"

The little sister Li Ying's eyebrows stood up, she shook her hands and started rolling up her sleeves.

She no longer wanted to reason with Xia Yue. Any reason was not as effective as fists.

My brother is a man, so it is inappropriate to hit Xia Yue, but there is nothing wrong with doing it on my own. Is it true that all these years of wrestling against the oppression of my sister Li Juan were in vain?

But Li Ye took two steps forward and took Li Ying's arm.

Then he said softly: "Are you adding insult to injury? I also experienced it after my engagement was broken off by Lu Jingyao. It was really uncomfortable.

But I think this kind of thing still depends on yourself. If you are upright and are not afraid of slanting shadows, and your bottom is clean, who can push you into the well? "

"."

Xia Yue was stunned.

If Li Ye came up and beat her, she would not be afraid at all. Now she is not afraid of anything.

Having almost lost everything, what else is there to be afraid of?

But Li Ye's gentle words were like a steel needle, piercing Xia Yue very uncomfortable.

When Li Ye's engagement was annulled by Lu Jingyao, so many people pointed fingers at him, which can be said to be "adding insult to injury".

And among those who pointed fingers, she was Xia Yue.

One of the reasons Xia Yue mentioned at the beginning was, "If there is nothing wrong with you, Li Ye, then why did Lu Jingyao break off the engagement?"

At that time, Xia Yue never imagined that the boomerang of time would pierce her body.

In recent months, the comments surrounding Xia Yue have almost driven her crazy. Those people don't care at all that she is a pregnant woman, and they can say all kinds of ugly things.

Among them, there is a saying similar to "If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows."

Therefore, Xia Yue exploded for the second time after being stung.

She said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of shadows when you are upright? Then I would like to ask Comrade Li Ye, your grandfather rides a Crown, and your sister drives an Audi 100.

You own a Santana yourself, and your father drives a Lighthouse Jeep, which costs several million in total, but your butts are clean? "

Li Ye said calmly: "Since my grandfather became the general manager of Qingshuihe Food Company, he has received more than 30 reports over the years. After verification by the relevant departments, they were all false accusations.

If you think our buttocks are dirty, you can add another report letter. If you don't know how to report, you can ask Cui Aiguo. He is better at reporting. "

"."

"I don't have to report it, I can question you now."

Xia Yue frowned and said: "Sixty percent of the Qingshuihe Instant Noodle Factory's profits were taken away by Hong Kong, but it is our workers who create these values. They have to work twelve hours a day.

You, Li Ye, are also the director of a state-owned factory. Don’t you know that the state stipulates that you work eight hours a day? "

“I don’t know the overtime system of Qingshuihe Food Company, but I can tell you that the state-owned factory where I work also has overtime, and many workers can work up to ten hours.

But this ten hours is the upper limit I set. If there is no limit, I believe it will reach twelve hours. "

"Oh, that's right, that light automobile company of yours also has Hong Kong-owned shares. It's all an exploitation method taught by a teacher."

"A means of exploitation?"

Li Ye smiled without being angry at all: "If this is exploitation, you should ask the employees of Qingshuihe Company."

"The overtime pay of Qingshuihe Food Company is doubled. Four extra hours is equivalent to eight hours. If you don't let workers work overtime, they won't be willing to do it!"

Xia Yue also smiled and said: "You are right, the workers made more money, but your grandfather made more.

Li Ye, you have relied on your grandfather since you were a child. Without your grandfather, you would not have been able to enter the repeat class of the County No. 2 Middle School, you would not have known Wen Leyu, and you would not be where you are now."

The more Xia Yue talked, the more energetic she became, and the more she talked, the more reasonable she felt.

Because Li Ye and Li Ye's family had a huge impact on her in the past few years.

Don’t talk about others, just look at Li Ying in front of you.

When she was in high school at County No. 2 Middle School, she was a scumbag who was at the bottom of her class. However, she was able to study abroad in Hong Kong Island. In just over a year, she completely changed.

Now Li Ying is no longer the little country girl she used to be. She is very tall and slender, and her temperament has also changed a lot.

Beautiful, confident, with eyes full of aggression, this is what Xia Yue has always imagined herself to be.

Originally, Xia Yue had already walked to the border with Cui Aiguo, but was pulled back by Li Zhongfa, completely shattering her dream. Could she not hate the Li family?

"Then you don't rely on your father? If it weren't for your father, would you have the Xia Yue you have now?"

Li Ye's shout brought Xia Yue back from her hatred.

She was stunned and said funnyly: "When did I rely on my father? I, Xia Yue, was able to get into college all because of myself."

"No, you rely on your father."

Li Ye said seriously: "Your father has three sons, and you have three brothers. Your three brothers love you very much and give you living expenses every month. You have been repeating the college entrance examination for three years, and your family fully supports you. Your family environment Already more than 80 percent of people,"

"If you are not convinced, just compare it with Jiang Xiaoyan. Everyone knows what her situation was at that time. She couldn't afford food at school, and she almost dropped out of school in the last semester because of the fifteen yuan tuition fee."

"."

Xia Yue was speechless for a moment, because she knew Jiang Xiaoyan's situation very well.

But Jiang Xiaoyan was admitted to Beijing Aviation Academy and was several times better than Xia Yue.

"My family is better than 80% of the people in my family, but it is not better than you, Li Ye."

Xia Yue expressed her final stubbornness, but she herself felt that there was not much reason for it.

But Li Ye gave her a sharp reply again.

"Because your family has only worked hard for two generations, while my family has worked hard for three generations."

"My grandfather was almost starving to death. Others were better than him and were enduring humiliation. Then my grandfather followed the team and left. Seven of them left together, and only he came back."

"You may think this is unfair, but our flower-growing family has had a tradition of inheritance for thousands of years. Now we still recognize property inheritance, so why should the efforts of three generations be weaker than the accumulation of your two generations?"

Li Ye pointed in the direction of the Qingshuihe Instant Noodle Factory outside and said coldly: "Do you think those workers don't want to work eight hours a day?

Do you think they don't want to play cards and drink after work? They are accumulating for the next generation. They are like your father, creating better conditions for their children."

"Then let me ask you, Xia Yue, what kind of efforts will you make for the child in your belly now? Are you just looking at people who are better than you and complaining endlessly?"

"."
