Buy Code (MiniFir)
Text/Shi Qinghua
On the days of buying yards, civilian Zhang San would always stomp in front of the door of the yard sellers.
Inside the door of Hessein was filled with too much bitterness, fear, and anticipation. In the far place of the Emperor of Heaven, I don't know when the "buy code" arose, which is what people call "liuhe lottery". Although there are risks, but the rewards are rich, since knowing this shortcut to money fast, it has formed an indissoluble relationship with the purchase code.
Zhang San does not smile, is willing to do work, neither smokes or drinks, nor plays cards for fun, and has no other hobbies. Most of my spare time is spent reading books and materials related to physiology, probably in the countryside to say fortune telling and the like. Generally do not talk to people, if someone once talks about feng shui to see the picture, he will move the birth of the zodiac rotation, heaven and dry domination, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, will always be compatible with each other, always look at each other, he exhausted this and other a set of words, trying to convince the listener of the accuracy of his fate. When the "Liuhe Lottery" was sold to this remote place, Zhang San was convinced that with his excellent professional knowledge of life, he would definitely be able to earn some extra money and make his hands a little more generous.
People often say that pouring up and drinking cold water is a toothless, which may not be false at all. On several occasions, after a pious face, yin and yang cooperation, and careful consideration, the special code is determined to be this number, and no matter who asks, he cannot tell. But when the code was opened, the special code was close to this "iron number", and it was really unlucky to see the silver of the white flowers slip away from the hand.
After a period of bad luck, the already tight hand is even tighter, but it will never stop there. Throughout the ages, there has been the saying of "thirty years of Hedong, forty years of Hexi", which will always come and go. Therefore, usually save money and save every copper plate. After accumulating some money, I looked forward to the day of buying the yard, almost all of which went happily and returned with a dejected head.
As I approached the door, my heart trembled and my legs went soft. But buy a special code as long as five pieces, you can get two hundred yuan, if you buy ten yuan, twenty yuan or so, forty times the reward, like gold hanging overhead, sparkling, and like the bright moon in the water, beautiful.
Knowing that I can't afford to buy a big one, I can still do it by trying to bet two hundred yuan. Once you win the lottery, you can get eight thousand yuan, eight thousand yuan, a lot of wealth, that is a lot of money, what wife's complaints, everyone's ridicule, will disappear, and these are only in the moment of raising your hand.
Thinking of this, Zhang San came to the table of the code seller. The boss smiled and asked, "Zhang San, how many numbers to buy?" "Think about it."
After saying that, he picked up the code newspaper, code book and other materials on the table and turned it over. What single and double, red and green waves, zodiac signs and the like are not interesting, look too small. Only buy special size, look big. But when I think of buying special codes for several years, I actually didn't hit it once, and I can't help but feel a little hot. How can luck be so bad? It has also become the object of everyone's jokes: Zhang San buys the code - not in the middle.
But he firmly believed that luck would not always be so bad. Even if it is only once, no matter how many, it can be beautiful. Isn't there a pole tai lai? You have to think of a way to flush this obscurity.
Put down the information in your hand and walk around the country road in front of the door. The trees rubbed against each other, making a "rustling" sound, gently flicking the field and stroking Zhang San. The cool breeze penetrated the nostrils and penetrated the heart, waking up the command center that was chaotic into a pot of porridge: there was.
When the other code buyers were finished, he found the code seller: "Boss, please bring me a pen and paper to write the number." The boss said softly and kindly: "You call the number, I will write it for you." "No, I'm going to write it myself today." "Okay." After speaking, he handed the pen and paper to Zhang San.
He respectfully unfolded the numbered book on the boss's desk, gently stroked the unfolded sub-page with both hands, then unscrewed the pen cap, half-bent over to bow, and slowly moved the page with his right hand. It took a lot of time to stand up, return the pen and book to the boss in one hand, take out the prepared two hundred and forty-five yuan in the other hand and hand it to the boss, and then smile slightly: "Boss, one number five dollars, waiting for the meeting." ”
Alas, when I think of a loss-making business, my legs are a bit disobedient. But I can finally win the prize once, that is the beginning of good luck, so I am a little happy.
On the way home, I met an acquaintance and told myself that I must have bought it today, and I don't believe you can wait a while to see it. I walked forward lightly, hoping to meet many people, especially acquaintances, and I wanted people all over the world to know that I had bought a special code. As soon as I arrived at home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife loudly: "Wife, I must have bought it today." "I don't believe it." "I looked at the front of the house and the back of the house this morning and evening, all parties were prosperous, carefully checked the information, and calculated the yin and yang, exhausted the prescription. The number can't be wrong. "Then what number did you buy?" "Don't ask first, go with me to collect the prize when you open the code."
At nearly nine o'clock, when the husband and wife both went to the yard selling place, there were already many people who wanted to receive the award and people who watched the hilarity. Zhang Sanyi saw so many people, he could finally raise his eyebrows and breathe, but he didn't feel that his heart was full of flowers, and his voice shouted loudly: "Boss, I came to receive the award." The boss took out a book and checked: "I'm sorry, you didn't buy it, special code twenty-two." ”
"How can that be?" "Then see for yourself." He picked up the book and looked at it: yes, he wrote it himself, from number one to number forty-nine. Look closely, but write two twenty-one, not twenty-two.
After reading it, my eyes were in a daze, my face was blue, my legs were shaking, and I almost fell. Fortunately, the wife held on in time: "What's wrong?" "Nothing, it seems that good luck has not yet come, wife, go back."
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Zhang San shrugged his head and left.
