During this period, Li Mu went to the Children's Palace to take several Mathematical Olympiad classes, and asked Zhang Dongsheng many times for various Mathematical Olympiad exercises. The two are now familiar with each other.
Li Mu admires Zhang Dongsheng's teaching methods and quality. These things are simple to say, but not so easy to master.
Zhang Dongsheng appreciates Li Mu's learning attitude and talent. Such excellent students are rare.
…
On this day, Li Mu came back from the Children's Palace. He bought a newspaper on the way and checked the lottery numbers out of habit.
Suddenly, he held his breath because the numbers in the newspaper were so similar to the lottery numbers he bought.
There is no need to take out the lottery tickets and compare them one by one. He has already memorized the lottery numbers after buying so many issues.
Li Mu looked again carefully and found that all six red balls were correct, but the blue ball was wrong.
There was a little disappointment, and then there was a burst of surprise.
If all six red balls are correct, even if the basketball is wrong, this is still the second prize.
He didn't win the first prize, but the second prize was pretty good. He bought ten bets.
Fortunately, I was also someone who had seen the big scene, and I calmed down quickly. I took the newspaper and continued reading. There were not many winning numbers for the first and second prizes in this issue, which resulted in an extremely generous bonus. The second prize was
Each bet is NT$480,000.
He won ten bets, and the total bonus was 4.8 million. After deducting 20% tax, there was still 3.84 million left.
Having this money is enough for him.
…
Others might be excited when they win a big prize, but Li Mu has always been calm. When he got home, Zhou Chunhong happened to be back from the scenic spot.
He did not intend to hide this matter from Zhou Chunhong, otherwise it would be difficult for him, a minor still in junior high school, to handle this lottery ticket.
However, telling Zhou Chunhong means that the control power of the money is in Zhou Chunhong's hands, and it is impossible for him to control it freely.
But, you can always find a way, right? The key is to redeem the rewards first.
Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately looked very excited and ran over with the newspaper.
"Mom, I won the jackpot."
Zhou Chunhong was stunned and reached out to touch his forehead: "If you don't study, what big prize will you win?"
Li Mu raised the newspaper in his hand: "Second Prize for Shuangseqiu."
Zhou Chunhong is obviously familiar with lottery tickets. There are a lot of money fans in the city these days. She took the newspaper and read it: "You said you won the second prize?"
Li Mu nodded excitedly.
"bingo!"
Zhou Chunhong couldn't believe it. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Where's the lottery ticket? Let me take a look."
Li Mu immediately took out the lottery ticket from his pocket and handed it over.
Zhou Chunhong took the lottery ticket and when she saw the numbers on it, she immediately became excited and even her hands began to tremble.
"Oh my god, I really won. The bonus is so huge, 480,000 yuan."
"Son, you are so awesome."
As he spoke, he hugged Li Mu excitedly, kissed him on the face a few times, and kept mumbling...
After Zhou Chunhong was excited for a while and calmed down a lot, Li Mu pointed to the lottery ticket and said: "Mom, I increased the winning number ten times. I won ten bets in total, and the prize is 4.8 million."
Hearing this, Zhou Chunhong was stunned for a moment, picked up the lottery ticket and looked at it carefully. As expected, the winning numbers had been increased ten times, and the winning numbers were not one but ten.
Her fingers trembled and she said, "We won 4.8 million?" She couldn't believe it, the amount was too big.
Li Mu nodded and shook his head: "I did win 4.8 million, but I still have to pay 20% tax. In fact, I only got 3.84 million."
Zhou Chunhong calculated that this was indeed the case. Even so, 3.84 million was still an astronomical figure to her. Her monthly salary in the scenic spot was only more than 1,000 yuan, and she would never earn that much in a lifetime of work. She was immediately excited.
.
After looking at the lottery ticket for a long time, Zhou Chunhong finally accepted the fact that she had won the grand prize.
Then he warned Li Mu: "Chaoyang, don't go out and talk nonsense about winning the prize. I will take leave tomorrow to claim the prize."
"When the bonus comes, let's buy a big house next to your school first." Zhou Chunhong was excited when talking about this, as if she had already seen the wonderful tomorrow.
She hasn't been so happy for a long time since the divorce.
The failed marriage was a major blow to her life. She wanted to live a good life and live a very good life. Let Zhu Yongping see that even if she divorced him, she could provide her son with a good living condition and train him to become a talent.
It's a pity that Zhu Yongping's career is getting better and better, but she can only work as an ordinary staff member in the scenic spot. The deviation between imagination and reality makes her very frustrated, unwilling, and her personality becomes extreme, and she gives up all her hopes.
On Zhu Chaoyang.
The excessive attention and expectations put Zhu Chaoyang under great pressure, and he changed from a lively and active child to a silent one.
Now, everything is fine. With so much money, the pressure has been greatly reduced, the obsession in my heart is gone, and I can give my son a better living condition.
Let Zhu Yongping see that his family can still live well without him.
…
The next day, Zhou Chunhong got on the train to the provincial capital. The second prize in the lottery could only be redeemed in the provincial capital.
A few days later, Jiayuan Community.
"Ms. Zhou, this house is really nice. It has three bedrooms and is 145 square meters. The decoration is also very good."
"Originally, it was used as a wedding house for someone else, but his son had an appointment in Shanghai and didn't want to come back. The housing prices in Shanghai are much higher than ours. So I had to sell this house and buy a wedding house for my son in Shanghai."
"If it's full payment, the owner will lower the price a little further. It's hard to come across this kind of good property. It would be a pity to miss it."
Zhou Chunhong was a little hesitant. After all, the real estate worth nearly one million had a great impact on her.
He led Li Mu around the room a few more times, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
"Son, what do you think?"
From Li Mu's point of view, the decoration of this house is ordinary. It was really good in 2006. It is very fashionable and modern.
"Very good, Mom!"
Two hours later, Zhou Chunhong struggled for a long time, and after a series of bargaining, finally decided.
At a price of 870,000 yuan, I bought this 145-square-meter three-bedroom apartment in full. I signed the contract in the afternoon and paid in full, just waiting for the real estate certificate to be issued.
However, after signing the contract, the landlord has handed over the keys and you can move in now.
In the next few days, the vigorous moving operation officially began.
Since she had money and the old furniture did not match the new house, Zhou Chunhong became unusually generous and spent less than 200,000 yuan on a complete set of new furniture and electrical appliances.
At Li Mu's request, optical fiber was opened and a computer was installed, so that he finally no longer had to go to Internet cafes so often.
As for the old house, just leave it there as a souvenir, and you can stay there when you have nothing to do.
This house came with a parking space. Li Mu knew that Zhou Chunhong had just passed her driver's license test a few years ago, so he suggested that she buy a car to make travel easier.
How could Zhou Chunhong agree? She bought this house to give her son a better living environment. Although he took the driver's license test early, he never thought about buying a car.
However, under Li Mu's hard words, Qi Qi said: "With a car, I can feel proud in front of my relatives and friends."
Zhou Chunhong was finally moved. In recent years, she had been a widow with a child. Although her relatives and friends didn't talk about it in person, none of them thought highly of her family.
Zhu Yongping, in particular, had been ignoring her son in recent years. She kept this in mind and often swore in her heart that she would have to impress these people.
A car is a person's appearance, not only in terms of travel, but also a reflection of living standards and economic strength, which makes Zhou Chunhong extremely excited.
Finally made up my mind.
Li Mu originally suggested that Zhou Chunhong buy an Audi A4, but after looking at the price, she couldn't bear it.
In the end, I spent hundreds of thousands and bought a red joint venture car.
Zhou Chunhong already liked this so much that she drove Li Mu around the city every day.
Under Li Mu's influence, he accompanied Zhou Chunhong to shopping malls several times and wore some fashionable clothes.
People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. It’s not nonsense. With money in hand, Zhou Chunhong’s self-confidence has also improved. Coupled with her fashionable outfit, her image has changed drastically in a few days.
Fashionable and elegant, there is no shadow of the middle-aged woman she used to be. Relatives, friends, and neighbors are all envious when they see her.
Zhou Chunhong's self-confidence has greatly improved. Finally, she no longer focuses all her attention on her son and puts too much pressure on him, and the family atmosphere has also improved a lot.
Sure enough, poverty is a disease, and sometimes it is true.
How many families have problems just because they have too little money.
