our supernatural life

Pajero stopped outside the gate of the community. Shao Jing didn't get off the car, but only looked sideways at Mai Mai: "You go up, I'll go back to Jiangxi."

Mai Mai stepped out of the car door with one foot, and turned around in surprise: "Jiangxi?"

Shao Jing was a little unnatural: "It's the old man's birthday, I still have to go back and have a look."

Mai let out an oh, and suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.Shao Jing put his hands on the steering wheel, pondered for a while and said: "Seeing your grandma... I think it's not easy for old people..."

Mai Mai managed to understand the implication of these words, and couldn't help shaking his head at Shao Jing's awkward personality, remembering that his lease was almost three months away, he hesitated and asked, "When will you come back?" ?” If you don’t come back, the one thousand and one income will be gone...

Shao Jing made the calculations: "It's going to be about a month if you add it back and forth." He casually took something out of his pocket and threw it to Mai Mai, "I've got this talisman on me. I found out that you are beckoning. Don't wait for me to come back." You've been swallowed by a tiger or something."

Wheat was shivered by what he said, and he stretched out his hand to catch the thing, and saw that it was a piece of yellow paper folded into a triangle, with a little cinnabar color oozing from it, probably some kind of talisman was drawn on it.Shao Jing knocked on the steering wheel: "You, go to Baidu more, learn something, and know some taboos, so as not to find death."

Mai Mai was very grateful to him at first, but was glared at by the last sentence: "You just found--" Thinking it was unlucky, he swallowed the last word and slammed the car door: "Go your way! Be careful on the road .”

The corners of Shao Jing's mouth raised slightly, he waved his hand freely, stepped on the gas pedal and left.Mai Mai watched the car disappear into the night, turned his head to climb the stairs, feeling that the whole person was struggling under the pressure of the 8 yuan.Money, money, this is the eternal problem of life.

Living alone, I don't have the energy to cook, not to mention that my hands are not convenient.Mai Mai casually ordered some noodles and ate it, remembering that she would have to go to the hospital tomorrow to remove the sling, looked through the wallet, and there were still four pink notes left, the pressure was great.As far as he can remember, it seems that he has never been loose in money. Grandma said that their family had a good life, but unfortunately he couldn't remember anything at that time.In the past, his mother was struggling to provide for him to go to school. Later, he was even more frugal to earn living expenses. After graduation, the situation was not much better. The time when he got the most money... was the few days when he was preparing for grandma's medicine expenses.

Whenever I think of Xiaomai, I think of Yao Shaosi, Lao Fu and Lao Shou.Up to now, he still feels that these few people must be big market makers, otherwise how would he know that the stock would triple in value as soon as the market opened?Since he sold the stock, he hasn't read it online again. He doesn't know how far it has risen now, maybe he sold it early at that time.

Thinking to himself, Mai Mai turned on the computer, found that stock and looked at today's closing price, and was dumbfounded—it had fallen to 15 yuan, and it even fell below the issue price!He checked the historical curve again and found that the 8 yuan he sold was actually the highest point!After that, the stock went down all the way until it broke.In other words, if he was a little greedy and sold it the next day, he would not earn more, but would only earn less.

It's amazing!Now Mai is more and more convinced that these people must be big dealers, otherwise there is no way to explain this magical power.Sighing, he suddenly came up with an idea: It would be great if he could see these people one more time, as long as they are willing to give advice one more time, the shop will have money.

This thought was suppressed by Xiaomai as soon as he raised his mind.I feel a little blush, good luck once is enough, but I have to think about the second time, it's too greedy!Sure enough, such a thing of getting something for nothing cannot happen. Once, people become lazy and just want to try their luck.

But Mai Mai never expected that he could get what he wanted, and the next day, he really saw the old talisman again.

The doctor removed the sling, checked the injured area of ​​Xiaomai, and said that he was recovering very well, and he should pay attention not to sprain again within a week, and he will be fine in the future, and basically no need to prescribe any medicine.Xiaomai thanked the doctor and came out. In the hospital hall, he suddenly saw Lao Fu, standing alone in the corner, watching the people coming and going in the hall, wondering what he was thinking.

Mai Mai looked around, Yao Shaosi and Lao Shou were not there, could it be that Lao Shou came to the hospital again?Or what's wrong with Lao Fu?Wheat thought about it and passed: "Mr. Fu."

Old Fu turned his head and glanced at him as if he didn't know him: "Huh?"

"My surname is Mai. Mr. Fu may have forgotten, last time, last time we met at Shanda Hospital, and Mr. Yao and Mr. Shou."

Old Fu looked at him this time, with a strange smile on his face: "Really?"

Mai Mai felt a little embarrassed, probably because she had a lot of family affairs, and she didn't remember the cats and dogs she met in the hospital: "Well, I always wanted to thank you, thanks to the number that Mr. Yao gave me, I was able to collect the medical expenses for my grandma. That's all I wanted to say, if you're busy, I'll-"

"Are you short of money again?" Old Fu interrupted him suddenly, with a deeper smile on his face.

For some reason, Mai felt that this smile was a bit strange.Old Fu has changed a bit since the last time we met, he seems to be a lot gloomy, maybe it's because of his clothes.Xiaomai remembered that last time he wore a beige coat with a light red shirt inside, and he looked cheerful; but today he wore a black dress, and his face looked much darker.Mai Mai couldn't help asking: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lao Fu waved his hand indifferently: "Are you short of money?"

Wheat is a little hard to say, don't think that people are asking for money again... But... there is a small voice buzzing in my heart: If people are willing to help again, the problem can be solved in one go...

"I..." Mai Mai stammered, "I'm...because I lost my job, I want to open a shop, but I still need more than 4 yuan..."

Old Fu waved his hand before he finished speaking: "Go and buy a lottery ticket."

"Lottery tickets?" Maimai was startled, and then burst into joy, "Then, then, which numbers should I buy?"

"casual."

"Whatever--" Mai Mai was stunned, and then her face turned red up to her ears.Obviously, this is satire, satirizing his lack of greed, right?

"I'm sorry." Mai Mai hastily apologized, turned around and ran away.His face was still hot until he got out of the hospital.What a shame!Old Fu still doesn't know what to think, he must despise him, right?The more Wheat thought about it, the more he felt that it would be best if there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into.He walked for a long time, the hot feeling on his face subsided a little.He looked up and saw that he had already passed the station.

There happened to be a small shop next to it, and there was a Welfare Lottery sign at the door. Mai Mai looked at it for a while, and didn't know what was wrong, so she walked in and said, "Please choose a bet. No, it's 20 yuan." .” Anyway, if you don’t win, it’s all a donation.

When the girl playing the lottery ticket prints out the lottery ticket, Maimai feels distressed again. For 20 yuan, I can eat for a whole day, so it’s just a waste of time... What kind of illness did I have today!

"The lottery will be drawn tonight, I wish you good luck." The girl had already handed over the lottery ticket, her mouth was still sweet, so Maimai had to take out her wallet to pay the bill, then took the lottery ticket and left dejectedly.

Now that I have no job, Mai Mai usually arrives at the pastry shop in the afternoon. Although it is inconvenient to do it, I can do a little bit.When he arrived at the pastry shop, he saw that Gui Zier was there, pouting and fiddling with the oven, also looking unlucky.The boss was sweating all by himself. He looked at the two strikers with a sad expression on his face: "You two--ah, I'm really on the hook!"

Mai Mai couldn't help laughing, and stretched her arms: "I took off the bandage, and I can work now."

The boss snorted: "Do you think I don't know anything? It takes a week to take care of the bandages. You, don't move things, go and collect money for my snacks. Show your face and smile. Hire me more customers!"

This made Gui Zi'er laugh too: "Uncle, why are you making him laugh?"

The boss slapped his thigh: "Don't sell his face, I will give him full salary! Go, smile more, it works better than my old face! And you girl, look at this dejected look. I Let me tell you, there are many unsatisfactory things in this world. You young people are so angry, and you can’t think about it when you encounter something. How can you live in that day? Listen to me, this car must have a way to the front of the mountain, so why worry about it? ?”

Gui Zi'er pouted: "Uncle, you don't know, this is a big deal for me, maybe everything will be gone, and I won't be able to see you in the future."

"Bah, bah, bah! Childish talk!" The boss pulled his face down, "What are you talking about, shut up, and go to work! If there is something to do, how can it be so serious? Even if the house is demolished, just find Why don’t you live in another place? In this way, I can’t help you with other things, it’s okay to help you find a slightly cheaper house to rent.”

A few customers came in, the boss stopped talking and brought out the freshly baked dim sum.Mai Mai cheers up and collects money for snacks.Only Gui Zi'er seemed to be really out of spirits, she was absent-minded all afternoon, and Mai Mai couldn't help asking her when there were no guests: "What happened?"

Gui Zi'er looked at him listlessly: "It's a big deal."

"Is it about the house? Forced demolition?"

Gui Zi'er shook her head blankly and nodded again: "It's more troublesome than forced demolition..." She was stunned for a while, and then suddenly shed tears, "I may never see you again."

"Hey," the boss panicked, "what's the matter with you girl? Why did you become so serious? Come on, tell uncle, what's going on?"

Gui Zier shook her head, no matter what Mai Mai and the boss asked, she didn't tell the truth.The boss had no choice but to say: "Then you go back first, you should find a way to go, I won't deduct your salary. Well, after all, it won't be open for a few days."

Gui Zier wiped her tears and left. The boss looked at her back and sighed: "What the hell is going on, you forced a girl like this..."

Mai also didn't know what to say.These days, the house is really a top priority. If it is really demolished, it is basically hopeless to buy a house in the same place. Even if you agree to resettlement, you will have to add a lot of money. Ordinary grassroots really can’t afford a house.

I was busy until nine o'clock in the evening, closed the door, and cleaned the store again, which took another half an hour.The boss stretched his waist: "Oh, this old waist really can't bear it after a day of tossing... Hey, what is that?"

Mai Mai looked back and saw that it was the lottery ticket he bought.I moved my coat just now, and the lottery ticket fell out of the pocket of the coat and fell under the hanger.The boss picked it up: "A lottery ticket? You also buy this thing? I always heard that someone won millions and millions, but if this good thing happened to me, it would be really lucky."

Mai Mai smiled wryly: "I didn't expect a few million, I just want to be able to take over this store."

"Hey, it's time for the lottery. Let's turn on the TV in the back room and have a look. What kind of lottery is this? Seven Lottery, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday draws - isn't it just today."

"Don't look at it." Mai Mai hid the lottery ticket in his pocket, "I'm sure you won't win."

"What are you talking about, you bought a lottery ticket and didn't watch the lottery? It's clear if you win or not. Come on, I'll turn on the TV."

Although it is said that he will definitely not win, Maimai still holds some hope in his heart.Seeing that seven basic numbers and one special number were drawn, Mai Mai took the lottery tickets and checked them one by one. Some won one number, and some won two numbers. The more she looked at it, the more frustrated she became.Seeing that none of the nine lottery tickets won the prize, Maimai completely lost confidence, and said with self-deprecation: "I don't think I can win, I don't have such luck." Silent.Seeing that his expression was different, the boss hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"Wow, I got 6 numbers!" Xiaomai couldn't believe her eyes.

"What's the prize for 6 numbers?"

"It seems to be the third prize."

"How much is it?"

"I don't know..."

"It must be tens of thousands, right? You have to go to Jinan to receive the award." The boss was also very happy for him, "Hey, in this way, you can take over this store, right?"

Mai Mai is still a little dizzy now: "What if there are only a few thousand dollars?"

"Impossible! The third prize is only a few thousand yuan. It's impossible. You can call and ask."

Dizzy, Mai Mai asked, "Where are you asking?"

"...I don't know, I won up to 50 yuan before..."

"I, I'll go back and look it up online."

Almost drifting home, Mai Mai went online to check it out, and it turned out that the third prize of this issue was more than 5 yuan.After deducting the 20% tax, he still has [-] yuan left, plus the money in his hand-Maimai was so excited that he wanted to call the boss, he could buy this store!

After wandering around the house for a long time, Mai Mai still felt that the excitement in her heart could not be dispelled.Happiness, like sadness, sometimes needs someone to share.Mai Mai flipped through the phone book in her cell phone, thinking about who she could call.He was the first to call grandma, but grandma must have fallen asleep at this time, and there is no phone in grandma's room, which is inconvenient, so he can only forget it.In addition, he really couldn't find anyone to share this happiness for a while.He doesn't have many friends. After graduation, his former classmates went their separate ways and didn't make much contact. Even if there are still a few in Binhai, they don't see each other very often. At this time, calling someone to say that they won the lottery is called asking for trouble!

After three times and two times, Mai Mai found out Shao Jing's cell phone number.After thinking about it, he sent a text message: "I want to sell the pastry shop where I work now." He made a plan. If Shao Jing was impatient, he would say that he sent it to the wrong person.

After a while, the text message came back: "Do you have money?"

"It wasn't originally."

"So now? Did you rob a bank?"

Mai Mai's teeth are itching again, why is this person so short of twitching?But he was in a good mood, so he didn't care about it: "I won the lottery, I bought a lottery ticket."

The text message came back immediately: "Win the lottery? I think you haven't had any luck recently."

Wheat is angry, what is this?Do not believe?

"Really won, the prize that was just opened, the third prize, 5 yuan!"

After a long delay this time, Shao Jing called directly: "You really won 5 yuan?"

"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you for?"

"What have you been doing these two days?"

"What are you doing...I didn't steal or rob. Is it illegal to buy a lottery ticket?"

"No." Shao Jing's tone was very affirmative, "You have no fortune, how did you win the lottery?"

Mai Mai became really angry: "How did you win? Can I steal someone's lottery ticket? Or I can steal it, okay?"

After being yelled at by him, Shao Jing fell silent. For a long time, his voice was a little lacking in confidence: "Maybe I misunderstood... haven't you encountered any strange things in the past two days?"

He was nice and nice, and Mai Mai couldn't raise his voice anymore: "It's really nothing." Shao Jing pondered for a moment: "It's good that it's nothing. Did you bring the amulet? Let me tell you, when I left, I felt that you looked bad." Shun, be careful yourself."

Although the tone was still extremely awkward, Mai Mai finally understood that Shao Jing was concerned about him, and his heart immediately warmed up: "I see, I am very careful, I will never go to messy places, and I will leave the store at night. Come out and go straight home."

"En." Shao Jing seemed very satisfied with his attitude, "You just need to understand. I still have something to do, so hang up." After saying the last word, he hung up the phone directly.

Mai Mai stared at the phone for a while, wondering how on earth this person was educated, why is it so awkward?After being trained by Shao Jing, his excitement also subsided, and he packed up his things and prepared to go to bed.After going to bed, he suddenly remembered that today was really nothing, at least he met Lao Fu in the hospital today, and it was Lao Fu who asked him to buy a lottery ticket!Although Lao Fu's words should be ironic, but without those words, he wouldn't be able to remember to buy a lottery ticket, let alone win a lottery.Could it be that this winning is also because of the old talisman?

As soon as this idea came to Xiaomai's mind, he couldn't help laughing.What are you thinking about yourself!Lottery tickets are different from stocks. No matter how powerful Lao Fu is, how can he know what number he bought?Even if he knows what number he bought, can he openly draw the number?That's something only gods can do, right?However, he got rich when he met Lao Fu twice, which shows that Lao Fu is really his lucky star.Hey, it just so happens that the surname is "Fu".

Mai Mai put the lottery ticket under the pillow and fell asleep. In her dream, there were a bunch of pink tickets floating around...
