Rebirth: The Heartwarming Daily Struggle With A Childhood Friend

Chapter 9

After school in the afternoon, Ye Fei and Zhang Rui sent Xia Yuchan home together, and then went straight to the newly opened game hall Zhang Rui said.

With the rapid development of home consoles and computer games, the glory of arcade games in the 1990s has begun to decline.

But in such a small town where computers have not yet become popular, the game hall is still very hot. After all, there are all kinds of novel machines, such as dancing machines, shooting machines, racing game machines, and so on.

When the two walked into the game hall, they found that almost all of the more popular machines were occupied, and there were many people waiting behind them.

“It’s late, this person is too much.”

Zhang Rui rubbed his head in distress.

“Just take a look!”

Ye Fei smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He just came to see the nostalgia, but he wasn’t really interested in these games.

“I’ll go to the boss to exchange currency, I’ll invite you.”

Zhang Rui took out a twenty-dollar bill and ran to the counter.

Ye Fei walked around the arcade at random.

Except for some young people in society, there are also quite a few students, mostly from the two middle schools in the small town. You can also see a few elementary school students just like them.

“Liu Dal, you are not good at this technique, let brother come!”

“roll roll roll!”

Suddenly, Ye Fei heard some familiar nicknames, and his surprised eyes followed the prestige.

Sure enough, Liu Laifu, his first pot of gold target, was right.

After winning the prize in his previous life, Liu Laifu quickly bought a Da Ben, and took the beautiful women for a ride in the town all day long.

In 2005, Xiqiao Town, with a population of only 10,000 to 20,000, had not seen a few luxury cars in total, so it can be said to be quite conspicuous.

Ye Fei had seen Liu Laifu several times at the time, and he still remembered his wretched looks, especially the pair of big, strange ears, he would definitely not admit it.

At this time, Liu Laifu was sitting in front of a coin pushing machine with a small basket of game coins beside him, yelling at the little yellow-haired youth who was resting on his shoulders.

“Brother Fei, what’s the matter?”

Zhang Rui ran over with a small bag of game coins and asked suspiciously.

“nothing.”

Ye Fei smiled.

“Oh, let’s go play, I see that the Three Kingdoms War machine over there is empty. Today is the event. Twenty yuan and fifty game coins. I can play for a long time.”

Zhang Ruixing said cheerfully.

Ye Fei didn’t bother to hit him. With his skill, it wouldn’t last long to be honest.

Later, the two played several arcade games and also played a shooting machine.

During this period, Ye Fei kept paying attention to Liu Laifu’s side.

After playing for about an hour, only the last few game coins Zhang Rui exchanged were left. At this moment, Ye Fei suddenly saw Liu Laifu getting up and preparing to leave.

“Zhang Rui, I left a bit beforehand, are you with me, or?”

Ye Fei hurriedly said to Zhang Rui.

“Ah, let’s go now!”

Zhang Rui glanced at the remaining game coins in his hand, shook his head and said, “Brother Fei, go, I’ll play for a while.”

“Okay, then you must go back before it gets dark.”

Ye Fei warned in a serious tone.

“Do not worry!”

Zhang Rui nodded assuring.

Ye Fei didn’t say much, and followed Liu Laifu out of the game hall.

He should have lost a lot of game coins. Liu Da’er was not in a beautiful mood. He walked on the road cursing with his hands in his pockets. Ye Fei could hear him clearly when he was more than ten meters away.

Ye Fei is not sure whether Liu Laifu bought the lottery ticket today, but he is ready to follow him these days.

However, to his surprise, Liu Laifu stopped when he walked to the entrance of a lottery shop, then turned and walked in.

Ye Fei suppressed his excitement, ran over and followed into the lottery shop.

The lottery shop has a small storefront, and it looks like it is twenty flat. Several old lottery players are sitting there discussing the trend of lottery numbers in this issue.

“Oh, Liu Dal, I haven’t seen you in a few days, where did you get rich?”

The boss is a bald, middle-aged man, he couldn’t help but teased when he saw Liu Laifu.

“To make a fortune, I went to the newly opened game hall today. I originally planned to make a lot of money. The boss is too dark, and he absolutely adjusted the machine, which caused Laozi to lose a lot, mother, never again. went.”

Liu Laifu murmured a few words with an unhappy face, and then said to the boss: “As before, give me the machine to choose five bets.”

“money!”

The boss smiled and stretched out his hand.

“Damn, can I still owe you this little money? First book it!”

“Sorry, small business, no credit.”

“Fuck! Old Xu, you’re too stingy, I’m a frequent visitor to you.”

“Who buys the lottery ticket on credit? If you win the jackpot then, will it be yours or mine?”

The boss said angrily.

After entering the store, standing there quietly, the very humble Ye Fei couldn’t help feeling a little sighed when he heard this.

The boss might feel regretful afterwards. If he really borrowed the ten dollars, even if Liu Laifu won the final prize, he would still be able to get a share.

“Damn, you’re ruthless.”

Liu Laifu exploded and touched a few pockets on his body, and finally found only four steel tongs.

The boss and a few old lottery people looked at him playfully.

“Make two bets!”

Liu Laifu has long been accustomed to this sight, and slapped four yuan on the counter with a cold face.

“Thank you for your patronage!”

The boss took the money into the counter and gave him a lottery ticket. .
