Return to Splendid

Xing Yi paid attention to the entire display window, but did not see the newspaper about the disaster. He glanced at the calendar next to the big wall clock: June 1995, 6. It turned out that he came back one day earlier than in his previous life.

There is an eye-catching big red paper in the window, which is a poster about selling lottery tickets. In two weeks' time, that is, Saturday, June 6, relevant units will publicly sell scratch-off lottery tickets in Ximen Plaza.

Lottery tickets are sold openly in Fairview City for the first time in history.

Each lottery ticket has a face value of two yuan, and there are a hundred tickets in each box. The winning chances are large and the prizes are rich, including towels, water cups, rice cookers, radios, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, and motorcycles.

Twenty staff members formed a circle back to back, in groups of two, and arranged in order to receive boxes of lottery tickets from the on-site conductor for sale.In order to move forward smoothly, we have also developed a mechanism for assigning tasks and commissioning rewards based on the sales progress. The group that sells out first can help other groups sell and draw different proportions of bonuses based on the recovery amount.

After the team members accepted the task, they took the time to notify their relatives and friends, and they would all come to buy it at the time, which would enhance the atmosphere and help complete the task.

The scene was really spectacular. There were hundreds of people entering the venue early in the morning. They moved closer to the group they knew and were familiar with. They held up tens of yuan and twenty-yuan bills and rushed to buy them. Usually they bought five pieces at a time, and some Buy ten sheets.

Lottery players got their lottery tickets, turned around and started scratching numbers. The whole process was varied and exciting. Some people scratched the numbers without scruples in public, some people gathered around to watch the scratching, and some found a quiet place to hide and scratch alone. Of course, Most of them are empty numbers, nothing, only [-] yuan, [-] yuan is wasted.

Some people sigh, some people sigh, some people throw away their hands, lottery tickets are thrown on the ground, and their heels are stepped on.Scrape out towels, water glasses, etc., take them to redeem your prizes, hesitate for a moment, then pay for them.I took out the rice cooker and the cassette player, and I was naturally happy for a while.

On the morning of the first day, shortly after the lottery went on sale, a person spent 1000 yuan to buy a whole box of lottery tickets at once, and scraped out three grand prizes: a TV, a refrigerator, and a motorcycle, which caused a sensation.

Everyone in the streets was talking about this matter, and the great temptation made Xing Yi follow the crowd to the scene.Although he went, he stood 30 meters away, watched for a while, and then left. The doctor was shy and couldn't stretch out his hand. Besides, he had just arrived at the new unit and was mainly working. He couldn't think too much about other things. He wanted to watch the excitement and understand the situation. That’s it.

The grand prize stimulated more people to come forward and accelerated the ticket sales. It was originally planned to be sold out in five days, but in the end it was all sold out in less than three days.

Later, I heard someone tell me that the company driver Yang Linxiang was not free during those three days. He went to buy something every day, and he didn’t know how much he spent. The biggest prize was a glass of water.He spends a lot of time driving, so it just suits him.

Yang Linxiang usually doesn't talk much, he is quite straightforward, and he is also very persistent in his pursuit of lottery tickets. One thing he has to do after get off work every day is to buy lottery tickets. He only buys one-round lottery tickets, one on an odd day and two on even days. open.

Yang Linxiang does not smoke or drink. His father died early, and his mother raised him and never said much about him buying lottery tickets.

According to the analysis of Yang Linxiang's financial strength and courage, it is impossible for him to buy a box at once. He just buys a few pictures to try his luck. The big prize is still far away from him.

If he knew in advance which group and which box the big prize was going to be in, why bother?Go directly to the group, wait for your name to be queued up, take out two thousand yuan, hold it high, and shout: I want that box!Scratch those lottery tickets, that's the big prize, drink, it's weird if you don't go crazy.

It's a pity that Yang Linxiang is not a prophet and is not so lucky.

Xing Yi lowered his head and thought that the money he had on him was far from enough. If he really wanted not to lose this opportunity, he had to find a way to get 2000 yuan in just three days.

At a time when the average worker's salary is two to three hundred yuan, this seems difficult.

He looked around subconsciously.

Next to the poster, there is a small missing person notice.

A little boy followed his grandmother out of the house and was lost on the field. The little boy was three and a half years old. He wore shorts, plastic sandals, and a hand-woven gauze-covered vest.

Xing Yi also remembers this clearly.

That was one day when he was watching TV alone at home. The channel was tuned to the "Children Come Home" column. The name of Jinxiu County was displayed at the bottom of the screen, which caught his eye.

It is about the countryside, a remote village. There was a child who went to the countryside with his grandmother. He suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. The family searched everywhere and posted notices, but there was no news. The grandmother almost went crazy and sat on the ground. He burst into tears.

After 23 years, he came back.

From the day her grandson was lost, my grandma fell ill and lay there for three years, dying, without food or water. She still missed her grandson and kept beating her heart, and finally died with hatred.

The child's father has been running around for more than ten years. No matter where there is news or movement, he will rush out immediately. For more than ten springs, summers, autumns and winters, he has traveled to more than ten provinces and hundreds of counties, and will not stop until he is exhausted. , due to overwork and excessive mental shock, he slowly became insane. One cold winter, people found him on a distant street...

The TV station reporter interviewed the mother who had difficulty even speaking. The mother was looking for something in the old cabinet, and she had to hold her son tightly with one hand. What she tremblingly took out was the missing person notice from that year.The mother's tears dried up, and her dry eyes stared hard at this man, almost doubting whether he was her biological son.

Facing the camera lens, the police station chief introduced their continuous efforts, as well as teams organized by caring people in several places, who have carried out extremely effective work. After 23 years, relatives can be reunited. I really want to thank them.

Facing the plight of this family, the young director also had tears in his eyes and his voice choked up... This day indeed came too late.

Xing Yi came closer and looked at the time carefully. The notice was posted, half a month later.

If his family had known earlier that the child was still alive, the situation would have been different. Grandma would have had hope and stand up from the hospital bed. Father's spiritual support would have been strong and he would have had more confidence in finding his son.

The notice stated that the contact location was Zhumatai Village, Niujiaying Township, and the contact persons were Zhao Fuming and Zhao Xinzhen.

We need to find these two people as soon as possible, and let their family know that the child will be found, that hope is still there, and that they should build up confidence and be strong.

Once the work arrangements are finalized, make sure to find time to handle this matter.

He looked up at the sky again, filled with anxiety, and when he came to the ticket booth, he was worried that the farm bus would stop.

The conductor took the money, gave him the ticket and change, and said, "If you can still buy this ticket, it means that the condition of that road is not bad."

In other words, the direction he wants to go is the same as here in the county. The weather is not bad at the moment. Although there are thick clouds hanging over, heavy rain is still brewing, so he must hurry up and race against God's speed.
