Rebirth: The Million-dollar Lottery Hit Me

Chapter 17 Lottery Activities

Early the next morning, the eldest brother and sister's family drove to Wang Li's doorstep at six o'clock as planned, but it wasn't even six o'clock yet.

Wang You and Wang An, who were about to go to the construction site, have not yet arrived for work.

Everyone was just having breakfast, so it just so happened that my elder brother and sister and Wu Qiang could eat something together, even though they had already eaten.

But it doesn't matter. Chen Qiong got up early this morning and made a lot of fresh meat buns and leek vermicelli buns. Chen Qiong's skill in making buns is still very good, and since it's for her family, she gave it plenty of fillings. The skin is thin and the fillings are rich, especially the fresh meat ones, which are almost greasy.

Especially for a young man like Wu Qiang, who was old enough to eat his father out of money, even though he had breakfast, he still ate three big buns, which made his belly full.

But Wang Li didn't dare to eat it at this moment. Why? Although she wanted to eat it, she was very carsick, so she had to endure it. Anyway, Chen Qiong made a lot of dumplings, so it would be the same when she went home to eat them in the evening.

For people like Wang Li who get carsick, buses are not that bad. The carriages are large, there are many windows, and if there is a slight breeze, riding the bus is still bearable.

But once there is a seat, as soon as I smell the smell of burning gasoline, and if I have eaten something, I will vomit yellow bile. I don't know why.

Therefore, Wang Li is usually very reluctant to ride in a stranger's car. First, she doesn't want to trouble others, and second, she doesn't want to suffer.

My family members will understand me, and even though other people will understand me, they will always feel embarrassed to ask for more.

So, in order not to feel too uncomfortable on the road, she skipped breakfast and prepared a bottle of ice water and an orange early.

When she gets carsick, drinking something cold and smelling some orange peel can greatly relieve the motion sickness. This is a good remedy she learned from many car trips.

By now everyone was full, and after cleaning up, Chen Qiong and Li Qi each carried a schoolbag and brought a stroller.

What Chen Qiong carried on her back were naturally dry food, water and some fruits. It was impossible for her not to bring these.

Li Qi carried some things the child needed, including some equipment for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating when going out. Lele has grown a bit in weight now, so it was tiring to carry him all the time.

Wang Li brought not only her own motion sickness medicine but also 20 yuan in change, in case she came across something she liked but there were no adults around, so she wouldn't be able to buy it. She also brought some toilet paper, nothing else.

After everyone quickly packed up, it was only half past six.

"Oh, let's go." Wu Qiang saw Wu Tian start the car and started shouting happily.

Everyone was very excited!

However, soon, Wang Li was dying in the car. Even though there was good medicine for motion sickness, she could not be energetic as long as she was motion sick.

Chen Qiong was talking to everyone, telling them not to wander around randomly if there are a lot of people around, and if they are really lost, they should wait in the parking lot and not walk around randomly.

But it is also true that generally, for such activities, the flow of people is really huge.

The adults have already divided the tasks. Just right, the eldest brother took Wu Qiang, Chen Qiong accompanied Li Qi and Lele, and the eldest sister accompanied Wang Li. Even if the children got lost, at least there were adults around. Playing is fun, but safety is still very important.

Although today's lottery scratching activity was only the first day, the publicity must have been very good. When the cars were one or two kilometers away from the event site, all the cars gathered together and gradually a traffic jam began to form.

It took almost ten to twenty minutes to drive the one or two kilometers to the parking lot which was a bit far from the venue.

Chen Qiong said decisively: "Let's park the car here. There are still parking spaces here. There are so many cars here today. The closer parking lot must be very crowded. Let's park here and walk a little. It's only a few hundred meters away."

So, the brother immediately found a parking space in the parking lot that would not be blocked by other people, and parked there immediately. (Sometimes people like to park randomly, and if the parking spot is not ideal, you can't just drive away whenever you want, so you still have to think about the location when parking. In addition, there are no lines in this parking lot, so you also have to reserve a larger turning space for yourself.)

After everyone got ready, they each carried their own bags and started off. Lele was temporarily pushed by his sister-in-law.

Chen Qiong's prediction turned out to be correct. When they were on their way to the event site, they saw many cars turning back to look for parking spaces, and some even parked directly on the side of the main road.

Suddenly, traffic started to get congested.

But soon, the traffic police came to direct the traffic. I guess it will be smooth soon.

After walking for about a minute or two, what came into view was the bustling event scene.

The entire event site was very large, with five or six rows of lottery ticket stalls, each row was estimated to be about six or seven meters long, and there were staff on both sides of each row of lottery ticket stalls.

The staff wore red T-shirts, everyone’s favorite festive color.

There were a circle of snack stalls around the event. Some sold pineapples, some sold drinks, and some sold cakes. It really felt like a food court, with all kinds of snacks for sale.

It seems that this activity can really boost GDP.

Of course, there were also many people and urban management officers on site to maintain order.

Although they were considered early, there were still others who arrived earlier, because there were already a lot of scratched lottery tickets thrown on the ground and trampled on. Some sanitation workers were trying hard to sweep them into the trash can. Perhaps this was the fate of the meaningless lottery tickets.

My brother asked about the price, and it was two yuan per ticket, which was not very expensive.

At that moment, the eldest brother started giving Wu Qiang and Wang Li each a hundred yuan in change.

"Come on, since we are here now, we should have fun. This is the money you two kids are going to use for lottery tickets. You can use it however you want."

Wang Li and Wu Qiang's eyes instantly lit up. Who else could have so much money except during the Chinese New Year? The eldest brother was really generous.

"You give them so much in one day!" Chen Qiong was surprised. It seemed unreliable at first glance that a child would spend so much money on lottery tickets.

"Oh, don't worry about it. We agreed before that we would just play today. I won't give it to you and Qi Wa. You guys go play by yourselves. Wa'er will follow us."

"You are so rude. You just know how to spoil the kids. I will serve them the meals later. Don't fight over them." Chen Qiong gave the older brothers and sisters a heads-up first, so that they would not have to give the children pocket money, gas money, and meal money at the same time, which would be too bad.

"I know, I know. Just hurry up and let Qiwa and Lele see it."

So, everyone started to move out.

The eldest sister-in-law said, "Come here, Qiwa, I'll give you a few hundred dollars."

Chen Qiong took out a few hundred yuan from her wallet and handed it to Li Qi.

"Mom, what are you doing? I have money. Wang An gave it to me yesterday."

"The money is yours. I know that. People working on construction sites usually get paid at the end of the year. Anwa works with his father, so he gets a little more money. If you don't have enough, just tell me. Wang You is the type who doesn't have to think so much every day. He must give Anwa a little living expenses every month, but don't blame him. He also wants to save more money for your little family. If you spend too much on weekdays, you won't be able to save any money." Chen Qiong forced the money to Li Qi.

But Li Qi knew in his heart that workers working on the construction site usually would not be paid until the end of the year, and his father-in-law would sometimes have to pay for the workers' living expenses, so the money he gave to Wang You was just enough.

But how should I put it? In addition to buying some food and clothing for the family, the food was usually eaten at the in-laws' house unless it was very unfortunate. In fact, what they gave was enough. It's just that the in-laws were considerate and always afraid of being wronged. After receiving the money, Li Qi felt that it was unnecessary, but she was still very happy. The in-laws really treated her like their own daughter as they said before marriage, and even took better care of her emotions.
