Reckless Youth of Delinquency

However, how should we give these 8,000 yuan to our mother? I'm afraid it won't work to buy a lottery ticket again. I won 50,000 yuan last time, and I won 8,000 yuan this time. I'm afraid my parents will become suspicious. It's even worse to just throw it on the street and let my mother pick it up. Although she has no education, she doesn't know how to take this kind of money. She will turn around and hand it over to the police station. I know her too well.

I even thought of several ways but they were rejected by me. Even giving money has become an embarrassing thing these days. I still had no idea, so I had to put this matter on hold. When I went to the toilet outside in the evening, I took the opportunity to call Xia Xue. Xia Xue asked me why I just called now. I didn't hide it and told her about the current situation of my family. Xia Xue said: "It's not easy for uncle and aunt. How about I take part of the new year's money..." I said seriously: "No, that's your money." If I really can't ask for this money, then it will undoubtedly become Accept charity. Xia Xue said pitifully: "I really want to marry into your family as soon as possible, so that there is no difference between you and me."

I joked: "Would you like to marry me and come to my house? There is no heating in winter, and the four walls are leaking." Xia Xue said seriously: "Yes, I do!" I was particularly touched. . I said seriously: "Xia Xue, thank you for your kindness. I will find a way to make money on my own." After chatting with Xia Xue for a few more words, I hung up the phone.

Starting from the next day, I took on my mother's cleaning work, cleaning twice a day, once at 7 o'clock in the morning and once at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The long street of about one kilometer can be returned home after cleaning. The one at 5 o'clock in the afternoon was better, but the one at 7 o'clock in the morning was really freezing to death. No matter how thick the clothes or gloves I wore, the cool breeze rushed in, and I was so cold that I couldn't even take a step. Moved. But I am willing to do it no matter how hard or tiring it is to relieve my mother's burden.

At first, my mother fought with me to do it, but then she gave up because she couldn't stand it anymore. But she never had time to spare. I went out to clean at seven o'clock, and she got up at six-thirty to cook for me. No matter what kind of rice I eat, there are always two poached eggs lying at the bottom of the bowl. I advised her not to work so hard, but she always said that I was growing taller and had to eat better. After eating every morning, I put on my gear, put on my mask and gloves, took a broom and a dust bucket, and went out to face the starry sky. My mother didn't earn much from this job, only fifteen yuan a day, and only four hundred and fifty yuan for a full month's work. It was even more sad to see her suffer for this little money.

After more than ten days of this, it was approaching the end of the year, and my father also called to say he would be back soon. My mother was planning to buy New Year's goods, and she even made a list at home and divided it into categories. Snacks include peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and biscuits. Fruits include apples, oranges, and grapes. Meats and vegetables include fish, beef, pork, cabbage, tofu, green peppers, tomatoes, green onions...

The mother made a list, and finally a smile appeared on her sad face. Although these things may seem like a lot, they actually don’t cost much. Early in the morning, my mother went out with five hundred yuan. I didn't go with her because I had to clean. After sweeping the street, I was so tired that I was covered in sweat. I went home, washed myself up, and then chatted with Xia Xue on the phone. After a while, I heard the door ring, and my mother seemed to be back. But she didn't enter the living room, but went directly to the kitchen. After buying so many things, of course I had to put them in the kitchen. My family didn’t buy a refrigerator at that time. Because I couldn't let my mother find my mobile phone, I hung up the phone in a hurry and went to the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I said happily: "Mom, have you bought everything?" Then I was stunned because my mother was sitting on the stove wiping tears. I asked in surprise: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" When my mother saw me coming in, she hurriedly turned her head and wiped her tears with the hem of her clothes. When I looked around, there were only cabbage and potatoes. I ran to my mother, took her arm and said, "Mom, what's going on?" My mother lowered her head, holding back tears and said, "It's useless, mom, the money was stolen!"

I found out the whole story after asking further. It turns out that the farmers' market in Dongguan Town is also very busy as the New Year is approaching, and thieves are most rampant at this time of year. My mother specially wrapped the money in a handkerchief and put it in her pocket. After a while, she would touch it with her hand to see if the money was still there. Just when my mother had just bought a few cabbages, she touched her pocket again. The handkerchief wrapped with money had disappeared, and there was a long knife edge on the pocket. The mother turned around in panic and saw a tall man with curly hair leaving in a hurry. The mother rushed up to the man without any explanation, grabbed the man's arm and asked him to pay back the money. The man claimed that he was wronged, and when more and more people gathered, the man spread his arms and said, "Search as you like, and take it away if you find it." The mother went to search his pockets, but of course she found nothing.

"Mom, you fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!" I said anxiously: "That man deliberately attracted you to chase him. The real person who stole the money has long since escaped! They must be accomplices and set up this scheme to fool you. "

"How did I know this?" The mother said sadly: "I didn't find any money on him, so I had to come back first and only bought a few things!" Pointing to the cabbage and potatoes in the corner, "If I had known, I would have Let’s buy meat first. What can we do now? The little money your dad earns also says he will pay your tuition for the next semester. The money I earn from cleaning is just enough for us to spend the New Year..."

I was so angry that I almost burst out of my chest. I immediately turned around and rushed out of the door. I ran to the farmer's market to look for the tall, curly-haired man my mother said. There were not many men who could meet these two characteristics at the same time. But the farmer's market was crowded with people, and I couldn't find it even after searching around. In desperation, I had to come back first. Thinking of my mother's sadness, I had to find a way to give the money to her. When passing by the lottery shop, I hesitated and walked in. Other than that, I really can't think of anything better.

When I got home, my mother was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When she saw me coming in, she looked even more guilty and remorseful.

I pretended to be sad and said, "I didn't find that person."

My mother said, "Don't go looking for them. They are adults. What will you do if you find them? And they have accomplices!"

I nodded in agreement, ran to my mother's side and said, "Mom, have you ever heard of the idiom 'No Ji Tai Lai'?"

My mother had not read many books and asked confusedly: "What do you mean?"

I said happily: "This idiom means that when adversity reaches its extreme, it will turn into good times. It means that when bad luck comes to an end, good luck is about to come! If you lost money this time, it may be a sign of greater wealth. Waiting for you to pay it out? Do you still remember the time when dad was laid off? That was the most unlucky time for our family, right? As a result, dad bought a random lottery ticket and won 50,000 yuan!"

"You mean for me to buy a lottery ticket too."

"Mom, you are so smart!" I patted the back of her hand and said happily: "Maybe I can win again? But this time I am not as unlucky as last time. If it is not very 'no', it will not be very 'tai'. It’s definitely not possible to win tens of thousands of dollars like Dad, but it’s still possible to win a few thousand dollars. Why don’t you go and give it a try?”

"No, no," the mother said firmly, "Your dad was just unlucky last time. He probably used up all his good luck in his life. I won't spend that wasted money. I might as well buy two A green onion is a good deal.”

"Mom!" I said helplessly: "It's only two yuan, give it a try. It's hard to be unlucky once, maybe it will make you rich. Why don't you use my money? The living expenses you gave me haven't been spent yet." Woolen cloth."

After all the hard talk, I finally pulled my mother out of the house and ran to the lottery shop on the street. When we arrived at the store, my mother reluctantly took out two dollars and bought a lottery ticket while muttering "It's a waste." Two days later, I dragged my mother into the store again. The boss said very cooperatively: "Congratulations, sister-in-law, you won the third prize, which is 8,000 yuan! There is still more than 7,000 yuan after tax. You can keep it for me." A bank account, the organizer will transfer the bonus into it!"

The mother showed a look of astonishment, pinched herself twice to make sure she was not dreaming, and then said, "Really? Do I have this fate too?" The boss said with a smile, "Yes, yes! You are just like my elder brother. It's all good luck! You have to treat me to dinner this time..." Mother nodded repeatedly and said, "Absolutely, definitely, when Lao Wang comes back, I will ask him to invite you to drink!"

My mother and I left the lottery shop happily. I said happily: "Oh my god, you and my dad both have this fate!"

The mother said: "It's just this once. I will never buy it again. I know what my destiny is! God thinks I am too miserable, give me some sweetness! I will kowtow to him and burn incense when I go back. Your father wants I’ll be even more happy if I know it!”

I smiled and said: "Last time I asked my dad to buy lottery tickets, and he won 50,000 yuan at once; this time I asked you to buy lottery tickets, and he won another 8,000 yuan. Oh my god, I am the lucky star of our family. !”

"Yes, you are the great lucky star of Lao Wang's family!" My mother couldn't hide the joy on her face, and her wrinkles stretched out.

"Since I am a lucky star, can I use this money?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want our family to have a good New Year!" I said seriously: "Mom, don't save me money for college and a wife. As the saying goes: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so why should parents do anything? Bulls and horses? 'Do you think I will be a person with no ability in the future? Will I be so useless that I have to live on the hard-earned money you and dad have saved? Mom, if you believe in my ability, believe that I can make money in the future For more money, don’t save these 8,000 yuan, use it to celebrate the Chinese New Year!”

My mother also seemed a little excited after hearing what I said: "My son has grown up and knows that he feels sorry for his parents. Okay, I will listen to you just once, let's spend a lot of money and have a happy New Year!"
