In This Life, I Will No Longer Be a Scumbag to My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 16: Redeem the prize and get your first pot of gold!

Views:

On Monday afternoon, the third period was self-study class, and Su Zelin found the head teacher.

He needs to take a leave to claim the prize.

The lottery center is closed on weekends and Sundays, so we have to wait until the weekdays, but school is in session again now.

At that time, lottery had not yet been implemented with real names, but Su Zelin was worried about asking his parents to collect the prize on his behalf. Although they had agreed to let him use the money, who knew whether his mother would change her mind at the last minute and confiscate the prize money, or only give him a portion of it.

Su Zelin wants the full bonus so that he can play bigger during the holidays.

The head teacher’s surname is Guo, his name is Guo Xingbang, and he is 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 Buddha.

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

"Well, good luck."

"How can you be lucky in this kind of thing? You are too modest. Keep up the good work. I believe in you!"

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

"Lao Guo, I want to ask for leave from the self-study class later!"

Su Zelin went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"Ask for leave? The college entrance exam is imminent, we have to hurry up and study. There is nothing important right now, so it's best not to ask for leave."

Lao Guo spoke with great sincerity.

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

"Winning a few hundred dollars in the lottery, what's that?"

“I won fifty thousand!”

"What, fifty thousand?"

Xiao Mituo's mouth opened into an O shape.

Lao Guo was frightened.

He is also a loyal lottery player and heard that two big prizes were awarded in the city last week.

The first prize of five million was taken away by an adult who had just touched the prize not long ago.

As for the second prize winner, he is a student. It is said that his grandfather bought the number in his dream. It was so magical that he didn’t expect that the number was in his class.

"The lottery center is closed on weekends, so I have to take a leave!"

Su Zelin explained.

"Student Su Zelin, can't you just ask your parents to collect the lottery ticket?"

Old Guo frowned.

"No, I'm worried. They will definitely embezzle all the money. Lao Guo, I won the second prize with great difficulty. It's not too much to keep a few hundred or so for myself, right?"

Su Zelin was very persistent.

"If I don't get this resolved quickly, I will be constantly worried about it, which will affect my studies. I might even suffer from insomnia and perform poorly in the college entrance exam..."

"Okay, okay, I'll approve it!"

In the end, Lao Guo was unable to say anything about Su Zelin.

He agreed immediately.

He quickly wrote a leave application, signed it, and handed it to Su Zelin.

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

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

"By the way, classmate Su Zelin, did your grandfather really buy the number through your dream?"

Lao Guo asked curiously again.

"Yeah, otherwise why would a student like me 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 often in the future.

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

Old Guo muttered to himself.

Could it be that something like sending dreams really happens

Why doesn’t my old man send me a dream

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

Su Jianjun rides an old Jialing motorcycle, which he bought in the 1990s for nearly 20,000 yuan. At that time, the average salary was only a few hundred yuan, so a motorcycle was definitely a luxury item.

Even today in 2000, many families are still reluctant to buy motorcycles.

As for a car, there is no need to even think about it. It costs hundreds of thousands or even millions and can buy an entire building.

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

Time was running out, so Su Zelin didn't say much to his father. He got on the back seat of Jialing and drove straight to the lottery center in the city.

It was just past four when we arrived at our destination, so there was still more than half an hour to go.

There were not many people in the prize redemption hall. After all, there were not many lottery players in the city who could win the jackpot.

"Hello, I want to claim my prize!"

Su Zelin found a staff member and handed over the lottery ticket.

The staff member took a look 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 someone else won the second prize of 50,000 yuan. I heard 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 handled at the municipal level.

"Okay, wait a moment!"

The staff first checked it to make sure the lottery ticket was not counterfeit, and then took out a form to fill in personal information and lottery information, winning period number, etc.

Then there is the ID card copy, registration photo and so on.

After a series of procedures were completed, the staff gave Su Zelin a check. After signing his name on the check, he could cash it at the designated bank.

The bonus was 50,000 yuan, but the check received was reduced to only 40,000 yuan, of which 20% had to be paid in tax.

Su Zelin felt a little pain in his flesh.

To collect the check, before five o'clock, the father and son rushed to the bank again.

As the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Su Zelin doesn’t want to drag it out.

There is no need to make an appointment with the bank for tens of thousands of dollars, and the check can be cashed on the spot.

Su Zelin didn't feel relieved until the money was deposited into his bank card.

This amount of money would not be enough for him to spend on drinking in the future.

He liked to smoke Liqun Fushan Chunjutu cigarettes, which cost 20,000 yuan a pack. Sometimes he would smoke several packs a day without blinking an eye.

But now, as start-up capital, these more than 40,000 yuan are very important.

Su Zelin gently stroked the bank card where the money was deposited, as if he had seen an old hen that laid golden eggs.

"Son, we'll let you spend the money as you please. I promise in front of your mom that you won't spend it recklessly. Don't make it difficult for dad!"

After leaving the bank, Su Jianjun gave another serious reminder.

"I know, Dad. With this money, I don't need to ask you for money as a start-up fund for the university. Haha."

Su Zelin is full of confidence.

This amount of money is definitely not enough to start a business, but he is confident that he can make it several times bigger in a few months.

Su Jianjun didn't care and thought his son was just planning to try out a small business.

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

During the evening self-study, Su Zelin took out a Red Bull and stuffed it into Lu Haoran's hand: "Haozi, this is yours!"

When he deposited the money into his bank card, he withdrew five hundred yuan.

"Uh, Zelin, why are you giving me money?"

Lu Haoran looked at the Red Bull 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 and said, "I keep my word!"

"Hmph, Zelin, you just ate half of my meal, it's not worth much!"

Lu Haoran was embarrassed and refused to accept the hundred yuan no matter what.

"I told you to take it, so I took it. 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 isn't a favor. We're friends. Besides, when you get more food, you'll share it with me anyway!"

Lu Haoran is very persistent, an honest man with principles.

"You're so stupid. The hundred dollars isn't just for repaying 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?"

"Say? Didn't I thank her last night?"

Lu Haoran was very confused.

"Thank you big head ghost, this is not sincere enough, understand?"

Su Zelin was very disappointed: "You have to invite her back. She invited her back for a week, so you should also invite her back for a week!"

"I see, what you said does make sense."

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

Su Zelin thought to himself that it was not easy to save enough soda for four people every day with that little food allowance.

He coughed dryly and said, "Haozi, the truth is, I actually want to invite Xiaoyanzi back in your name!"

"Why do you have to use my name? Can't you just invite her back?"

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, then I won in vain, right? I have to save my face, too!"

Lu Haoran was a little confused. He couldn't quite figure out the logical relationship here.

After a while, he finally sorted out his thoughts.

"Zerlin, do you mean that if you invite Xiaoyanzi in your own name, it means you have lost the bet?"

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

"Oh, all right then!"

"… "

After much persuasion, Lu Haoran accepted the money.

Su Zelin was a little depressed.

My good friend is such a fool. I did this to match him up with Tang Yan!

Not only do you have to be his military advisor and help him pick up girls, you also 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?"

At this time, Tang Yan also noticed that the two of them were pushing a Red Bull back and forth.

"Su Zelin, you asked for leave for the third self-study period this afternoon. Did you go out to claim your 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 take away the lottery prize I won? Isn't that infuriating?"

"Don't complain. It's not easy for your parents to raise you. Besides, they are keeping this huge sum of money for you temporarily because they are afraid that you will spend it recklessly."

Tang Yan believed it and tried to comfort him.

Qin Shiqing rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, thinking that this kid didn't even need to think before bragging, he just spoke without thinking.

She knew that Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia had agreed to let Su Zelin use the bonus money himself, and Su Zelin must have saved it, but he cried poor in front of Xiao Yanzi.

Su Zelin remained calm.

It seems that Qin Shiqing did not tell Xiaoyanzi about this.

She has a good mouth. She won't spit out even a drop of anything that shouldn't be spit out. She swallows it all.

We are both women, but why is Xiaoyanzi different
