RANDOM PICK

On Monday afternoon, the third period was a self-study class, and Su Zelin found the head teacher. He wanted to ask for leave to redeem the prize.

The lottery center was closed on weekends and Sundays, so he had to wait until the weekdays, but the school was in session again.

The lottery had not yet been implemented with real names, but Su Zelin was worried about letting his parents collect it on his behalf. Although they agreed to let him control the money, God knows whether his mother would change her mind temporarily and confiscate the prize money, or only give him part of it.

Su Zelin wanted the full prize money so that he could play bigger during the holidays.

The head teacher's surname was Guo, Guo Xingbang, the Chinese teacher of Class 2.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly bald head, kind eyes, and fat like a laughing Amitabha.

"Student Su Zelin, I heard from Teacher Lisa that you got full marks in the third mock English test?"

"Yeah, I was lucky."

"How can you be lucky in this kind of thing? You are too modest. Keep working hard. I believe in you!"

Guo Xingbang chatted with him casually and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Old Guo, I want to ask for a leave from the self-study class later!" Su Zelin got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"A leave? The college entrance examination is imminent. We have to seize the time to study. There is nothing important right now, so it's better not to ask for a leave." Old Guo spoke earnestly.

"It's very important. I won the lottery."

"Winning a lottery ticket of a few hundred yuan, what's the big deal?"

"I won 50,000!"

"What, 50,000?!!" Old Guo opened his mouth into an O shape. He was scared out of his wit.

He is also a loyal lottery player. He heard that the city had opened two big prizes last week.

The first prize of 5 million was taken away by an adult who had just touched the prize not long ago. As for the second prize winner, it was a student. It was said that the number his grandfather bought in his dream was so magical that he didn't expect it to be in his class.

"The lottery center is closed on weekends, so I can only take a leave!" Su Zelin explained.

"Student Su Zelin, can't you just let your parents pick up the lottery ticket on your behalf?" Old Guo frowned.

"No, I'm worried. They will definitely embezzle all the money. Old Guo, I finally won the second prize. It's not too much to keep a few thousand or a few hundred for myself, right?" Su Zelin insisted.

"If I don't get this done quickly, I will always be thinking about it in my heart, which will easily affect my studies. If I'm not good enough, I may even suffer from insomnia every night and perform poorly in the college entrance examination..."

"Okay, okay, I'll approve it!" Old Guo couldn't say anything to Su Zelin after all. He agreed immediately. He quickly wrote a leave note and handed it to Su Zelin after signing it.

"Student Su Zelin, I will only give you one self-study class. You must go to the lottery center as soon as possible to complete this matter, and you must return to school before the self-study class at the latest!"

"Okay, no problem, thank you Lao Guo!"

"By the way, student Su Zelin, did your grandfather really buy the number in your dream?" Lao Guo asked curiously again.

"Yes, otherwise, how could I, a student, go to buy lottery tickets for no reason!" Su Zelin thought that his grandfather's dream was a good excuse for a reborn person, and he could use it more times in the future.

Holding the leave application, he ran down the teaching building.

Lao Guo muttered in his heart, "Could this dream thing really happen?"

Why didn't my old man give me a dream!

When Su Zelin arrived at the school gate and handed the leave application to the guard and walked out of the gate, he saw his father waiting outside. The father and son agreed to go to the lottery center at this time on Sunday.

Su Jianjun rides an old car, which he bought in the 1990s for nearly 20,000 yuan. At that time, the average salary was only a few hundred yuan, and motorcycles were definitely a luxury. Even today in 2000, many families are still reluctant to buy motorcycles.

As for cars, there is no need to think about it. They can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, which can buy a whole building.

The old car has been in service for seven years, and its quality is still excellent. Su Jianjun did not sell it.

Time is tight, so Su Zelin did not talk much with his father. He sat in the back seat of the car and the father and son went straight to the lottery center in the city. It was just after four o'clock when they arrived at the destination, and there was still more than half an hour.

There were not many people in the 'Redeem Prize Hall'. After all, there were still very few lottery players who could win the big prize in the city.

"Hello, I want to redeem the prize!" Su Zelin found a staff member and handed over the lottery ticket.

The staff member looked at the lottery ticket and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Last week, a lottery player in the city won the first prize of 5 million yuan, and another won the second prize of 50,000 yuan. It was said that it was a student, and it turned out to be true. The five million grand prize can only be redeemed at the provincial lottery center, but fifty thousand can be processed at the municipal level.

"Okay, please wait!" The staff first checked it to make sure that the lottery ticket was not forged, and then took out a form to fill in personal information and lottery information, winning period, etc. Then there was a copy of the ID card, registration and photo taking, etc.

After a series of procedures were completed, the staff gave Su Zelin a check, signed his name on the check, and he could go to the designated bank to redeem it.

The prize of fifty thousand yuan, but the number of checks received was reduced to only forty thousand, of which twenty percent had to be taxed.

Su Zelin felt a little pain.

After receiving the check, before five o'clock, the father and son went to the bank again. As the saying goes, it's safe to put money in the pocket, Su Zelin didn't want to drag it out for too long.

There was no need to make an appointment with the bank for forty thousand yuan, and the check was redeemed on the spot.

Su Zelin was relieved until the bank card was deposited.

This little money was not enough for him to drink for a night in the future. He liked to smoke Liqun Fushan Chunjutu, which costs 20,000 yuan a pack. Sometimes he smoked several packs a day without blinking an eye. But now, as a start-up capital, these more than 40,000 yuan are very important.

Su Zelin gently stroked the bank card with the money in it, as if he saw an old hen that lays golden eggs.

"Son, we will let you manage this money yourself. I promise in front of your mother that you will not spend it recklessly. Don't make it difficult for your father!" After leaving the bank, Su Jianjun solemnly reminded him again.

"I know, Dad, with this money, the start-up capital for the university, I don't need to ask you for it, hehe." Su Zelin is full of confidence. This amount of money is definitely not enough to start a business, but he is sure that it will multiply several times in a few months.

Su Jianjun didn't care, just thinking that his son was just planning to do some small business to test the waters.

Zhao Lixia was busy at the farmers' market and had no time to go home to cook, so the father and son casually fried two side dishes on the street to solve the dinner, and then Su Jianjun sent his son back to school.

During the evening self-study, Su Zelin took out a drink and a Red Envelope worth of 100 yuan and stuffed it into Lu Haoran's hand.

"Haozi, this is yours!"

When he deposited the money into the bank card, he took out 500 yuan.

"Uh, Zelin, why are you giving me money?" Lu Haoran looked at the Red Envelope in his hand in confusion.

"Didn't I say last week that we should suffer for a while, and then we can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks together this week!"

Su Zelin waved his hand: "I keep my word!"

" Zelin, you just took half of my meal, it's not worth much!" Lu Haoran was embarrassed and refused to accept the 100 yuan.

"Take it if I tell you to. Am I a person who doesn't keep his word? Besides, the ancients said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water!" Su Zelin was displeased.

"Zelin, this is not a favor, we are friends, and besides, when you have more dishes when you get food, you will still share it with me!" Lu Haoran was very persistent, an honest man with principles.

"You're so stupid. One hundred dollars is not just to repay you." Su Zelin cursed, leaned close to his friend's ear, and lowered his voice: "Xiaoyanzi treated us to soda for a week, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

"Show? Didn't I thank her last night?" Lu Haoran was confused.

"You idiot! Just a 'Thank you' is not sincere enough." Su Zelin was disappointed with his innocent best friend.

"You have to treat her back. She treated us for a week, so you should treat her for a week too!"

"Is that so? You do have some truth in what you said."

Lu Haoran scratched his head: "But I still can't ask you for money. I'll save it myself!"

Su Zelin thought to himself that it's not easy to save four servings of soda every day with your food allowance. He coughed dryly: "Haozi, it's actually like this. I actually want to treat Xiaoyanzi in your name on my behalf!"

"Why in my name? Can't you just treat her back directly?" Lu Haoran couldn't figure it out.

"Haozi, think about it, she treated me to a soda because she lost the bet. If I treat her back directly, wouldn't it be a waste of my win? I have to save face, right?"

Lu Haoran was a little confused. He couldn't figure out the logical relationship here. After a while, he sorted out the clues a little.

"Zelin, do you mean that if you treat Xiaoyanzi in your own name, it means you didn't win the bet?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Anyway, you take this money and treat it as my treat, but it has to be in your name. Don't tell her about this!"

"Oh, okay then!"

"..."

After much persuasion, Lu Haoran accepted the money.

Su Zelin was a little helpless.

This good friend of his is really a blockhead. He did all this to match him with Tang Yan!

I have to be a dog-headed military strategist to help him pick up girls, and I have to take care of his self-esteem.

It's so hard for me!

"Hey, what are you two doing? You both think the money is too much, right?"

Tang Yan also noticed that the two of them were pushing a Red Envelope back and forth.

"Su Zelin, you asked for leave for the third self-study class this afternoon. Did you go out to claim the prize?"

"Yes!" Su Zelin sighed.

"Stop talking. My dad confiscated almost all of the 50,000 yuan prize money, leaving me only 300 yuan. Why did they swallow up the lottery ticket I won? Isn't it infuriating?"

"Stop complaining. It's not easy for your parents to raise you. Besides, they are just afraid that you will spend such a large sum of money, so they are keeping it for you temporarily." Tang Yan believed it and comforted him kindly.

Qin Shiqing rolled her eyes at him unhappily, thinking that this kid really doesn't need to draft his bragging, he just speaks out lies naturally.

She knew that Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia agreed to let Su Zelin use the prize money himself, and Su Zelin must have kept all the money, but he acted poor in front of Xiaoyanzi.

Su Zelin remained calm.

It seems that Qin Shiqing did not tell Xiaoyanzi about this. She has a good mouth. She will not spit out anything that should not be spit out, and swallows it all.

They are both women, but why is Xiaoyanzi different?
