Return to Splendid

Yang Linxiang looked smug and continued: "I didn't want to pay attention to this fat aunt, so she squeezed the unopened lottery box tightly, twisted away, and was about to walk away, but she grabbed me and said, come on, come on, Good boy, I saw it. Your lottery ticket has not been scratched yet. This is great. Let me discuss it with you. You see, I also bought a box, the same amount as yours. Now I want the two of us. Make a switch.

"I stared at her hard and said, what can I change? Do I need one or two more cards in this box? She said, no, that's it. It's fine with me, but my old man, he is superstitious. That's right. Ask me why I didn't buy a number with three eights and quickly go find someone to exchange it. Then who should I go to? There is only the person behind me, and that's you.

"You are behind me in line. What I bought is 701~800. What you got must be 801~900. There must be three eights in it. Young man, please help me. Our old man is old and in poor health." It’s not good. Anyway, think about it for me. I will switch with you. I will compensate you. Just tell me how much you want.

"I don't want to give it to him. My mother is lying in the hospital bed now, and I need this number even more."

Seeing that Xing Yi was suddenly not breathing and his eyes were frozen, Yang Linxiang stopped, grabbed his shoulders and shook him twice: "Teacher Xing, what's the matter with you?"

Xing Yi rubbed his eyes and said: "My eyelids are sore and my temples feel uncomfortable on both sides. I want to rub it, but I don't understand. That aunt said she wanted to exchange with you and compensate you. Why didn't you agree?"

"I didn't agree to him, but her next move scared me."

"An action?" Xing Yi stopped.

Yang Linxiang tilted his head: "Do you want to know what the fat aunt did?"

"Double compensation?"

"wrong."

"Reach out and grab it."

"Not at all."

"Then, I can only kneel down to you."

"Ah no...did you see it?"

"What did I see? I didn't go there at all."

"Then how do you know that's the case?"

"Did I really kneel down to you?"

"Yeah, I never expected that the fat aunt knelt down for me and kept bowing to me. She said that this number had too profound meaning for the old man.

"I was frightened and found someone walking this way. I was afraid that they would see me and cursed me, saying that I didn't respect the elderly. I even threw away my fundamentals as a human being just to buy some lottery tickets.

"Then she hugged my leg again and said, young man, if you don't agree, I won't let go. I was completely panicked, and quickly gave him the box of lottery tickets containing three eights in my hand, and took her A box. At that moment, I had a fierce struggle in my heart. If I gave it to her and the prize was in the box, I would not regret it to death. Then I remembered your words, what I want is participation, what I want is that It’s a pleasure, whether you win or not, it all depends on it.”

Xing Yi asked: "What? Did I say this?"

"I can't remember if I am. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Who said it doesn't matter. What matters is the process and enjoying the process, don't you think?"

"Uh-huh." Xing Yi sighed.

"I said to the fat aunt, you are lucky. If you had come half a minute later, I would have already started scratching the lottery tickets. She said that you are not afraid, even if you have already scratched out the prizes, we don't care. As long as you keep three Eight is OK. It’s not that our family doesn’t have money. What we want is good luck. We don’t care whether we get a prize or not. We have all these things at home.

"After she got the box of lottery tickets, she grabbed me and refused to let go. She said, young man, I will give you 100 yuan as a thank you fee. How could I ask for his money? I am not that kind of person. I pushed away her money. , but she must give it. If I don’t answer, she won’t get up. She is older than me. If she continues like this, it will definitely kill my life. Besides, people nearby are still watching, so I quickly said, don’t do this, I accept it. that is.

Xing Yi shook his head slowly, and now he suddenly felt that Yang Linxiang was not stupid. He could tell it with emotion and eloquence, and it was story-telling and very attractive. Although he already knew the result, he still wanted to listen to him. .

Yang Linxiang kept drinking water, and Xing Yi simply brought the thermos bottle and put it next to him, ready to add more to him at any time.

"That's what happened. Everything happened by accident, and there was such a dramatic reversal. Hey, I'm just confused. How did you know that there are three grand prizes in this box?"

Xing Yi smiled and said: "Don't ask any more, how would I know? This is all just your luck."

"It's really luck, and it's just for the two of us."

"I converted the prize into cash on the spot. In addition to paying taxes, I took out 2000 yuan from my mother. The rest is all here, [-] yuan." As he said that, he divided the money into two lumps.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll give you half of it."

"You bought this yourself. I didn't participate, so I can't take it."

"How do you say that? You didn't go there in person, yes, but think about it carefully. Without your enthusiastic encouragement, would I have had such courage? Without your arrangements and guidance, would I have gone straight to that stage? There is something in it There are more than ten tables.”

"My mouth is dry now. This tea is hot. Take a few sips." Xing Yi brought the water cup to Yang Linxiang and said, "You have to thank the fat aunt."

"How can I thank her? We don't know each other either."

"That's it. You have to get to know her. If she learns that you won the grand prize, she may come to you now."

"No, that fat aunt got a three-eight lottery ticket. She was so happy that she was dancing even when she walked."

"So, you can safely accept the money, it is your own."

"Let me tell you, I can't keep it all to myself. If this happens, my conscience will be greatly damaged."

"You also took your mother's medical expenses. If I had known this earlier, I would not have allowed you to buy it."

"The medical bills are a penny. I will go to the local hospital to pay the bill later. You can scold me no matter what, I will accept it. I will never do such immoral things again."

"You take all the money and keep it, I really don't want it."

"I must share it equally with you, otherwise, what will others say about me?"

"I won't tell anyone, no one will know."

"I'm asking you something, I want you to be honest."

"You ask."

"Do you want to be my friend?"

"Yes I do."

"That's good, I think you are my good friend, provided that we share the blessings and the misfortunes."

"It's not the same thing."

"Why are they not the same thing? I just think they are the same thing. I want to say something from my heart. After buying lottery tickets this time, I have found that you are sincere and trustworthy, and I feel safe in dealing with you."

Yang Linxiang's attitude was firm, and Xing Yi was embarrassed for a moment. After thinking about it, he said, "Take it first, go to the hospital, and use it all for your mother's medical expenses. The rest will be divided later."

Yang Linxiang said: "The 3000 yuan that originally belonged to my mother is a lot. Adding the [-] yuan that I received, the medical expenses are enough."

"If you insist on giving it, then give it five hundred, and I will accept your favor."

“Do good friends need to bargain?”

"I won't ask for three thousand and fifty anyway."

"Okay, I'll give in and reduce it by five hundred or three thousand."

"No, I only want five hundred."

"If you don't want three thousand, then two thousand and five."

"There's nothing I can do. I'll take a step back and add five hundred or one thousand."

"I'll take another step back and reduce it by five hundred, two thousand and five."

"Um……"

Yang Linxiang suddenly changed his face and spat out harshly: "We are doing business, okay, in this case, I will take it all away, go to the fat aunt, and give it all back to her. You and I don't want any of it."

Wei Zhenghai happened to be walking by. He probably heard something and saw Qian again. He clasped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for affecting you."

Xing Yi said: "It's okay, Boss Wei, this is my good friend, let's buy something.

My friend is competing for more money. "

Wei Zhenghai looked at Yang Linxiang, nodded and said, "Yes, this is a true friend."

Walk away quickly.

Yang Linxiang said loudly: "The last thing I want to ask you is, is the fixed price, two thousand, OK?"

Xing Yi shook his head and nodded, and accepted the 2000 yuan.

Yang Linxiang laughed happily and said, "I am busy going to the local hospital to pay the bill. After my mother is discharged from the hospital, we will find time to get together again and talk things through."

He waved and left.

The phone rang, and Wei Zhenghai answered it: "Hey, this is Guangming Hotel. Oh, it's you, Enpei, are you looking for Teacher Xing? He's here, and we talked, okay." He turned around and shouted to Xing Yi, "Teacher Xing, hurry up, my cousin called and is looking for you."
