Chapter 8: Buying Lottery Tickets, Su Zelin's Wealth Code
In the evening, Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia returned home and looked at their son with wide eyes. They could hardly recognize him.
After a long while, Su's father finally let out a long sigh.
"These five hundred yuan are worth spending. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Our son is still handsome after this makeover!"
In fact, Su Zelin's appearance has always been good, but it's a pity that his previous clothing style dragged him down. That previous appearance made the two elders dislike him, and they thought their son was not very good.
Su Zelin said modestly: "The key is good genes. Dad and mom, you were the most beautiful couples in the steel plant company. As your excellent breed, even if I can't be better than my parents, at least I can't be too bad!"
Su Jianjun said proudly: "Son, don't say it, our Su family has a good grasp of appearance. Three generations of ancestors, tracing back to your great-grandfather, are all handsome men!"
"If you say so, our Zhao family has no credit?" Zhao Lixia was dissatisfied. "Look at Zelin's face shape and skin, they are exactly like mine. If he wanted to look like you Su family members, he would have a big square face and dark skin!"
"What's wrong with a square face? It looks upright. Many officials have this face shape. Dark skin is also a symbol of health. Many foreigners deliberately tan their skin. And Zelin's eyes, as the most important part of his facial features, are bright and energetic. They obviously come from our Su family!" Su Jianjun usually gives in to his wife, but when it comes to family honor, he will not give in.
"Bullshit, except for his eyes, my son's nose, mouth and ears are all inherited from our Zhao family. He looks exactly like his grandfather when he was young!"
"My son's black and straight hair looks like me!"
"My son's delicate fingers look like me. The fortune teller said that he will be rich and prosperous all his life and will not have to do hard work!"
"..."
The two elders had a disagreement and started arguing about from whom Su Zelin inherited more.
"Mom and Dad, stop arguing. I inherited the best of both of you. You two complement each other!"
Su Zelin tried to smooth things over, then coughed dryly: "I've run out of money to buy clothes. Can I..."
"Get lost!"
*****
After staying at home for two days, the two of them went back to school together on Sunday night.
Qin Shiqing was a little mad for some reason and rode straight ahead alone. But after riding for a while, she felt something was wrong. When she turned around, Su Zelin was gone.
This guy ran away again!
She was responsible for keeping an eye on Su Zelin when they go and come from School, otherwise he might go to the arcade to play.
You really can't let your guard down for even a second!
Qin Shiqing was anxious and angry, and immediately turned the bike around to look for him.
She found him in a short while. Fortunately, Su Zelin didn't go into the arcade, but in a lottery shop on the side of the road.
When Qin Shiqing found him, Su Zelin had already printed a thick stack of lottery tickets in his hand.
"How many lottery tickets did you buy?"
"I bet all my food money!"
"Are you stupid?" Qin Shiqing almost cried. "Why did you think of using all your food money to buy lottery tickets?"
"Don't worry, I'll win, hehe, these are my wealth codes!" Su Zelin tightly grasped the stack of lottery tickets, full of confidence.
It was also at this time in his previous life that someone in Jianglan won the grand prize, a full five million! He remembered it very clearly that the first lottery draw was the next week after the three mock tests.
This incident was published in the newspaper, and Su Zelin had seen it. Many neighbors, including his parents and Uncle Chen, were envious and jealous when they mentioned it.
Although it happened many years ago, he has a good memory, and many people talked about it at the time, so he vaguely remembered the winning numbers.
Su Zelin was not sure, so he bought some numbers that were similar in his impression, and directly bet all his food money for this week.
Opportunities are rare, and time will never come again!
Take a chance, and chicken will become Phoenix!
In short, you must buy, buy, buy!
"Winning your head, how can it be so easy!" Qin Shiqing felt a little dizzy. She felt that Su Zelin was crazy about getting rich.
"I'm very lucky. Didn't I win the lottery last time?" Su Zelin said confidently.
"Well, You did win. I lent you 20 yuan that time, and you put in your own 30 yuan. In the end, you won 5 yuan. You still have the nerve to say that!" Qin Shiqing was powerless to complain.
"Don't pay attention to those details. The key is that I won!" Su Zelin coughed dryly.
"Besides, this time is different. My grandfather came to me in a dream last night and told me to buy it!"
"You said the same thing last time!"
"The dream last time was not so realistic, so I only won 5 yuan. This time it is more realistic. I have a hunch that 5 million is already waving at me!"
"Stop dreaming and give me my money back!" Qin Shiqing naturally didn't believe his nonsense and stretched out her hand unhappily.
"Ah, it's a bit noisy, I can't hear you clearly!"
"Twenty yuan!"
"We're almost late for school, we have to hurry!"
"Don't play dumb!"
"How about I give you ten wealth codes as repayment? Maybe the five million is among them!"
"I don't want it!"
"..."
When they arrived at No. 2 Middle School, all eyes fell on them as soon as they entered the classroom.
No matter where Qin Shiqing appeared on campus, she was always the focus. However, this time it was Su Zelin who became the focus.
His change was really too big, and his whole appearance was completely different! After shedding his eye-catching non-mainstream image, Su Zelin is now at the forefront of fashion, a real handsome man.
Today he was wearing the new clothes of the Japanese college style, which was less frivolous and more quiet and cool. He had the same feeling as the male protagonist Jiang Zhishu in the once popular Japanese campus idol drama "It Started with a Kiss", and the actor who played it, Bai Yuanchong, had the same temperament.
This outfit is just right, trendy but not too exaggerated.
Wow, Su Zelin looks so handsome today!
The girls' eyes were wide open.
The boys were envious and jealous, especially the class monitor Zhao Mingxuan, who was even more indignant.
Su Zelin is such a bad guy, why did God give him such a good face!
Isn't it suitable for a boy like me who is both good in character and learning?
Su Zelin's good friend Lu Haoran also widened his eyes, and after a long time he asked tentatively: "Zelin, is that you?"
Su Zelin raised an index finger to his mouth. "Shh, don't make a sound, let me be a quiet handsome man!"
*****
'The quiet handsome man' persona didn't last for long, Su Zelin remembered something and took the initiative to break the silence.
"Haozi, let me help you get food this week!"
"You help me get food?" This was a bit abrupt, and Lu Haoran was confused.
"What I mean is, let's get a meal and eat together. You pay and I'll get it!" This is the best way Su Zelin can think of to solve his livelihood this week. After all, he is now penniless.
Qin Shiqing has money.
The Qin family gave her a lot of food expenses. She was very frugal. She saved the money and the New Year's money in the bank and had her own small treasury. The problem is that she saw with her own eyes that she used the food expenses to buy lottery tickets.
He was thankful that she didn't complain when she went back. How dare Su Zelin ask her to borrow money.
Besides, the 20 yuan I spent on the lottery last time hasn't been paid back yet…
There are so many people in the class, and it's not that there are no good connections, but it's not easy to borrow a whole week's food expenses. After all, most people's families in this era are not rich, and the food expenses are usually barely enough. If there is more, they can only buy some snacks and drinks.
In the end, Su Zelin thought of Lu Haoran.
His best friend's family is not well off, and the food expenses are limited. But it's different if I help him get food.
With the beautiful face of the quiet handsome man and the deep friendship with the cafeteria lady, a meal divided into two portions can still fill the stomach.
"Zelin, did you use the food money to play the horse racing machine again?" Lu Haoran knew his deskmate very well, and immediately thought of something, but soon overturned his speculation.
No, Zelin came to school with Qin Shiqing. With Qin Shiqing monitoring him, he couldn't go into the arcade halfway.
"I bought some wealth codes, don't worry, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food soon!"
"Wealth code?" Lu Haoran was puzzled.
"He bought lottery tickets and spent all his living expenses!" Qin Shiqing turned around and said unhappily.
Lu Haoran suddenly realized.
Zelin, this kid, likes to beat around the bush when talking.
"Su Zelin, you are really good at playing, you actually bought lottery tickets with all your living expenses!" Tang Yan couldn't help but turn around and complain.
Su Zelin slammed the table: "Xiaoyanzi, how can you talk to a quiet handsome man like this? Can you respect the handsome guy a little bit!"
"Cut it out, come on, it's just you!" Having said that, Tang Yan had to admit that she was indeed a little surprised when Su Zelin first came in. However, Xiaoyanzi would not be tempted by men's beauty, and it was absolutely impossible for her to surrender in front of Su Zelin.
Su Zelin shamelessly stretched out his hand: "If you lend me some money, I will forgive you!"
"Get lost!"
"Heh, woman!" Su Zelin smiled contemptuously, his eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
"Men and women only exist to continue the family line, and only men and men can have true friendship. The ancients were not lying to me!"
He put his arm around Lu Haoran's shoulder: "As expected, Haozi is the best to me. It's okay. There will be bread, milk, and everything!"
"Haozi, I'll bring my face, and you'll bring the money. With my relationship with the cafeteria lady, one meal is enough for the two of us!"
Lu Haoran's face was like a bitter melon.
He didn't mind sharing the hard times with his best friend.
It's just that it's a bit embarrassing to share one meal for two people...
While they were talking, many people suddenly looked outside the classroom.
A charming girl, holding a plastic bag, stood at the door, her watery peach eyes looking straight at Su Zelin's seat.
"That girl, she's here again!"
"It seems to be a junior in high school, named Huang Panpan, who has handed Su Zelin love letters several times and always comes to give him gifts on Sunday nights!"
"Why don't girls like me? What's Su Zelin's merit? Is it great just because he's handsome? It's so unfair!"
