Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 218 The epitome of the s

The fruit that He Yuzhu wants to plant to increase lifespan is called longevity fruit. Planting one requires one million happiness points and takes one year to mature. Once mature and consumed, it can increase lifespan by two years.

Now He Yuzhu is frantically saving happiness points. The good news is that He Yuzhu has planted two longevity fruits, and now he is looking forward to the two longevity fruits maturing early.

He Yuzhu was sitting next to his construction site, drinking a bowl of beef soup. Although He Yuzhu invested in this construction site, no one knew that it was He Yuzhu's property. He Yuzhu did not want to expose his identity for the time being.

He comes every day to check on the progress of the work at the construction site, which is also a way to relax.

At this moment, he saw Zhang Zhiping running towards him. Zhang Zhiping had already married He Yuzhu last year. When they got married, He Yuzhu gave Zhang Zhiping's family a house and provided all the home appliances.

Then jobs were arranged for Zhang Zhiping's younger brothers and sisters. Zhang Zhiping's family was very grateful to He Yuzhu, so what Zhang Zhiping listened to most now was the words of his eldest brother He Yuzhu.

"Zhiping.!"

Just when Zhang Zhiping ran over and looked for He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu shouted loudly to Zhang Zhiping. Zhang Zhiping looked back and found He Yuzhu, and Zhang Zhiping ran over quickly.

"Brother, hurry back to the courtyard..." Zhang Zhiping came to He Yuzhu's side and quickly asked He Yuzhu to return to the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" He Yuzhu took a sip of beef soup and looked at Zhang Zhiping with a smile on his face.

At this time, Zhang Zhiping calmed down and said: "Yu Yu's father is back, and he is in the courtyard now."

"Hiss!" He Yuzhu was instantly surprised, and the plot of the TV series appeared in his mind. You must know that when He Yuzhu traveled here, He Daqing had already run away, and he did not have much contact with He Daqing.

However, He Yuzhu actually couldn't understand why He Daqing took the White Widow to Baoding.

If the White Widow gets He Daqing's property, she is unlikely to give up He Daqing's property in Sijiu City and let He Daqing start his life again with nothing. If He Daqing is worried that the Shazhu brothers and sisters will object, then before He Daqing decides to leave the Shazhu brothers and sisters, the Shazhu brothers and sisters can completely listen to He Daqing's opinions. They will not oppose He Daqing. What is the reason behind this?

He Daqing is not only the successor of Tan's cuisine, but also the chief chef of the steel rolling mill. He lost his wife when he was young, has a son and a daughter, and still has two rooms in his home.

It is no exaggeration to say that He Daqing enjoyed a lofty status in that era, his job was very stable, and his family environment was also quite good.

Even if you establish a good relationship with the White Widow, you don't have to worry about not being able to afford her living expenses.

Under normal circumstances, He Daqing would not choose to go to Baoding with the White Widow, so why did He Daqing choose to go against the rules and go with the White Widow?

He Yuzhu has watched the TV series, and he knows whether He Daqing will send money to the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters after leaving. It can be seen that He Daqing cares deeply about the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters.

With this in mind, He Daqing should not consider leaving because his own cooking skills are enough to maintain the family's livelihood.

He Yuzhu believes that there are some unknown secrets hidden behind He Daqing's actions.

Later, He Yuzhu knew that Yi Zhonghai was an old man and took away the child support that He Daqing gave him and He Yuzhu. Although He Yuzhu was coming back, He Yuzhu believed that there should be a close connection between He Daqing's departure and Yi Zhonghai. contact.

As we all know, Yi Zhonghai will do anything for his own retirement.

Perhaps from Sha Zhu's obedience to He Daqing when he was a child, we can speculate that he wants to drive away He Daqing and let Sha Zhu live a life of retirement.

At the same time, the fate of the White Widow may also be arranged by Yi Zhonghai for the Qing Dynasty.

As the eldest man in the yard, Yi Zhonghai understood some of Bai He Daqing's obvious weaknesses. According to He Yuzhu's conjecture, perhaps He Daqing was not a farmhand, and his family background was not so pure.

As the successor of Tan's cuisine, it would be difficult for him to have access to such high-end cuisine if he were a farm laborer.

He Daqing may be the descendant of an imperial chef.

At that time, his status was probably equivalent to that of the young and old in the Four-Nine Cities, and they were all despised by everyone.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai used this identity to threaten He Daqing and tried to persuade him through the White Widow. This led to the incident where He Daqing abandoned his child and went to Baoding.

After He Daqing left, the Shazhu brothers and sisters also went to Baoding to look for He Daqing, but were stopped by the White Widow. From then on, the Shazhu brothers and sisters developed a deep hatred for He Daqing.

But is He Daqing really so cruel and ruthless to the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters?

If He Daqing was really so ruthless, he would not send money to the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters, and would also arrange a job for Silly Zhu. A more likely scenario is that the Shazhu brothers and sisters went to Baoding to look for He Daqing, but He Daqing may not know anything about it. Shouldn't the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters be resentful towards me?

Yi Zhonghai not only instilled hatred for He Daqing into Si Zhu, but also secretly took away the alimony sent by He Daqing.

This is enough to prove that He Daqing's escape is closely related to Yi Zhonghai.

According to common sense, the support payments and letters sent back by He Daqing are likely to be sent to the courtyard.

As the door god, the third uncle knew nothing about this, which also meant that Yi Zhonghai had been planning for a long time, and it was impossible for him to keep it secret from everyone in the compound. He Daqing also mentioned later that the White Widow had passed away for many years, so why didn't He Daqing return to Sijiu City after the death of the White Widow and let Shazhu take care of her old age?

Probably because he was worried that Yi Zhonghai would retaliate.

If it weren't for Xu Damao's later misbehavior or the changes of the times, He Daqing wouldn't have been able to come back.

He Daqing's biggest worry should be that when he comes back, if Yi Zhonghai leaks his secret, it will hurt his son and daughter. Of course, whether it is true or false, the above are all He Yuzhu's own conjectures. What exactly is it? What's going on, we still have to see He Daqing before we talk about it.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu nodded and looked at Zhang Zhiping and asked, "Has the rain notified you yet?"

"She knows. She should have returned to the courtyard. Sister Haitang accompanied her back. I will come directly to find you."

"Okay, let's go." He Yuzhu waved, and a Santatta drove over. After He Yuzhu and Zhang Zhiping got on, the driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

Speaking of Santana, we have to say that the 90s were all about lottery madness.

In the early 90s, lottery activities had already become a craze in mainland China. At that time, as our country's economy took off after the reform and opening up, people had more and more spare money. In that era when there was a lack of entertainment projects, the lottery, a way of obtaining prizes based on luck, was very novel to the Chinese people at that time. Very attractive.

At the beginning, lottery activities were just one of the simple consumption promotion methods. Merchants attracted consumers to purchase goods by giving small gifts or discount coupons. But with the rise of lotteries in the late 1980s, businesses began to try to combine lottery activities with lotteries.

They hold various types of lottery activities in shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, entertainment venues and other places, attracting a large number of consumers to participate.

So some people with relatively active economic minds saw this opportunity (the first group of people to get rich in the 1990s) and began to introduce scratch-type lottery tickets from abroad to China, that is, instant lottery tickets (immediately after purchasing the ticket) You can know whether you have won or not, and you can redeem your prize immediately) This kind of lottery was not only more novel in form at the time, but the prizes set by the merchants were also richer, and the probability of winning was higher. The prizes in the lottery ranged from daily necessities of a few cents to adults. There are thousands of motorcycles, Santanas, etc., and the appeal can be imagined in that era of lack of spirit. This move pushed the lottery craze in the 1990s to a climax. The whole country was once empty of people, and there was a stir. The craze of "National Prize Lottery".

The Chinese lottery draw scene back then could be said to be very crazy. At that time, people often saw news like this. Today I heard that someone drove away a motorcycle for two yuan, and tomorrow I heard that someone took away a TV for two yuan. And then I heard that A three-year-old kid drove away in Santana for two yuan! Various shocking rumors shocked everyone's jaws.

So over and over again, everyone wanted to try their luck, and they all had a dream of "getting rich overnight". In order to win the lottery, a large number of people went to the lottery site. The site was crowded, and you could often see dozens or hundreds of people waiting in line just to win. Buying one or two lottery tickets is a very spectacular scene.

Lottery drawing sites are usually set up in bustling commercial centers or public places, such as parks or squares. Tall tents or greenhouses are usually set up at the scene, surrounded by colorful lottery promotional materials and posters, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.

There are usually multiple lottery sessions at the lottery draw site, and different prizes will be awarded in each session, including cash, home appliances, cars, etc. During the lottery process, the host will continue to incite the audience's emotions and encourage them to participate in the interaction. The atmosphere on the scene is very lively.

On the way to buy lottery tickets, everyone felt a strong expectation and excitement, because they believed that as long as they were lucky, they might become rich overnight. If I remember correctly, when the lottery was drawn at that time, the names and winning amounts of the winners with relatively high prizes or home appliances would be announced, which aroused the envy and jealousy of many people.

When the prize is very attractive, people may even compete for it. At the lottery site, people would also exchange winning experiences and methods with each other, hoping to improve their chances of winning. This was a very fun thing back then.

Whenever the grand prize is drawn, the scene will be plunged into crazy cheers and celebrations. In many places, the name of the lottery winner and the winning amount are posted on the street, which makes people even more crazy about chasing the dream of winning. Some people will buy lottery tickets at all costs or even borrow money to buy lottery tickets in order to win.

In some places where people buy lottery tickets, there are also scams that make people mistakenly think that they have won, but in the end they are just defrauded of their money. Some people even got into a fight over a lottery ticket (thinking about it today, it is absolutely Yes).

However, behind the popularity, most people actually only get a "Thank you for your patronage", and some lottery winners are simply trustees hired by businesses.

With the explosion of lottery activities (in the early days, there were real big prizes, and there were many winners), many merchants began to increase their investment and increase the value of the prizes. Some merchants even amplified the value of the prizes to create the illusion of winning. to attract more consumers.

This has also led to some businesses engaging in unfair competition and using unethical means to attract consumers, such as false advertising, fraud, etc.

They encourage more people to buy enthusiastically by creating the illusion that someone is always winning. In order to attract more consumers to buy, some merchants will even invite some celebrities to the scene to attract more buyers. At the same time, in order to control costs, the appearance and time of the grand prize are completely decided by the organizer.

After the lottery was over, all that was left was a pile of waste tickets, a lot of angry people and their empty pockets.

For example, in the Xi'an BMW Lottery incident in 2004, a young man named Liu Liang bought a lottery ticket at the Sports Lottery, and the way for him to obtain the prize was even simpler. He only needed to have the pattern on the lottery ticket be consistent with the drawing pattern. Drive away a BMW sedan.

But when Liu Liang actually won the lottery, he was told by the sports lottery staff that the lottery ticket was fake. Not only did Liu Liang lose his BMW, he even faced legal punishment.

The original joy was instantly evaporated. Liu Liang, who was full of blood, insisted that he had not faked the truth. In the end, he had no choice but to run to a sports lottery billboard more than 6 meters high to prove his ambition by dying.

After Liu Liang made a fuss about the incident, it was immediately known to countless people that the security guards arrived at the scene quickly after receiving the news. After some investigation, they learned that it turned out to be Yang Yongming, an individual contractor, who had never thought of sending the BMW to him. People just use this award as a gimmick.

It was only because of the carelessness of the staff that Liu Liang won the grand prize. In order to keep his BMW car, Yang Yongming began to work with idle people in society to defraud Liu Liang of the prize, and in turn sued Liu Liang. Counterfeit lottery tickets to steal prizes.

The final result of this lottery fraud case also ended with the arrest of Yang Yongming and four of his accomplices. The truth of the "instant lottery fraud case" that shocked the country was finally revealed.

People always have great expectations for "getting rich overnight". Especially when they hear that others have won the lottery countless times, they will think about why such a good thing cannot happen to them.

In the face of wealth, human nature often cannot stand the test. Many criminals take advantage of people's greed for petty gains and lead them step by step into the abyss. But in fact, as long as people can be more vigilant and prepared for all sudden good luck, they can greatly reduce the probability of being deceived.

A person's life must always be down-to-earth in order to slowly accumulate more wealth. Especially for things like lottery, which can make people "get rich overnight", they must have a rational attitude and not be addicted to it.

This is actually a microcosm of the 1990s!
