Chapter 80 Recall 2

Even though she had earned 2000 yuan a year ago, it was only a short two days of happiness for Ji Feng and her mother. On the night of New Year's Eve, although Xiao Sumei still had a smile on her face, a trace of unforgettable sadness was hidden deep in her eyes.

Ji Feng knew that his mother might be reminiscing about her past sorrows. Perhaps, she had thought of that father of hers who she had never met. Ji Feng was quite curious as he wanted to know more about him, but he didn't dare to easily ask about it.

Therefore, while Ji Feng was joking with his mother, he was also contemplating how he could make his mother happy as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Ji Feng's eyes lit up. He had a good idea — — Lottery!

More accurately, it should be called playing games.

After all, there were too many uncertainties in the lottery. Plus, there were some shady aspects, so it would be difficult for a normal person to win the lottery. But the pleasure was different.

Ji Feng had the ability to see through anything. He could easily see through the silver liquid covering the reward area. The prize was a piece of cake for him. One must know that Ji Feng still had sixty thousand yuan in Xiao Yu Xuan's card. This was the best proof.

Thinking of this, Ji Feng secretly calculated. It was already New Year's Eve, even if there was a lottery ticket store outside, the boss would definitely close the door and go home for the new year. If he wanted to buy a sc.r.a.pe, he would have to wait until the door was reopened.

When he thought of Xiao Yu Xuan, Ji Feng couldn't help but have a headache. Ever since she had ruthlessly humiliated He Dong in the billiard room, Xiao Yuxuan had never cared about herself. Every time she finished her lesson, she would leave, and even the smile on her face would disappear.

This caused Ji Feng to be unable to refrain from feeling regret. Perhaps, he shouldn't have fiercely humiliated He Dong because of this dispute.

Did he really only want Xiao Yanxuan to see He Dong's true appearance?

Ji Feng couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't dare to think too much about this question, because he was afraid that the answer he came up with would render him powerless.

Because, Tong Lei had already revealed what she was thinking, but due to some reasons, she couldn't say it directly. However, Tong Lei wanted Ji Feng to go to a university in Jiang Prefecture. Wasn't that clear enough?

Even though Ji Feng vaguely knew his feelings for Xiao Yu Xuan, he didn't dare to take another step forward.

This year's New Year, in Ji Feng's conflicted state of mind, pa.s.sed without incident. These slums became very deserted during the new year. Regardless of how those people were doing outside, they would always return home during the new year.

Perhaps, Ji Feng and his mother were the only homeless people here!

Looking at the falling snow in the yard, Ji Feng was expressionless.

”It's time to think about the future!” Ji Feng thought to himself, ”These girls love each other very much. It's just a matter of life and death. Without sufficient strength, they won't be able to make it to the top.”

In this snowy New Year, listening to the deafening firecrackers outside, the increasingly lonely Ji Feng finally began his life thinking.

The new year pa.s.sed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of the new year. At this time, most of the people in the slums had returned from their hometown.

At this moment, all the shops on the street opened their doors.

”Mom, let's not stay at home all the time. Let's take a walk around the street!” Ji Feng said with a smile. During the past few days of New Year, her mother had almost never revealed a smile. It was obvious that she was thinking of something sad.

Xiao Sumei nodded her head and smiled, ”Alright, it's about time for school. I'll buy two sets of clothes for you on the street!”

Ji Feng smiled and nodded. If this was in the past, he would definitely oppose his mother buying him clothes, because he knew very well how much money his family could earn.

But now, he didn't want to think this way, because the reason he wanted to go out with his mother today was to find an opportunity to let her see him earn money. This way, she wouldn't worry.

With Ji Feng's current hearing, he could often hear sighs coming from his mother's room at night. Before that, he would often talk about Ji Feng going to university.

Therefore, Ji Feng knew very well that his mother seemed to be very worried about the tuition fees.

Although Mang s.h.i.+ County had a large population, its economy wasn't very developed due to its location in the Central Plains. Although there were a few exclusive branded shops on both sides of the street, there were only a few that existed in the entire county. Outside of the city, there were more wholesale shops. There were almost no branded shops.

Ji Feng seemed to be casually walking beside his mother, but his gaze was constantly scanning the two sides of the street. However, what made Ji Feng scratching his head was that the more busy the street was, the less lottery tickets there would be.

In fact, he thought, the lottery ticket shop was no different from other shops. It did not have to be located in the most prosperous area.

Finally, when Ji Feng saw the words' lottery ticket ', he couldn't help but laugh.

”Mom, there's a lottery store over there. Let's go take a look!” Ji Feng smiled and said, ”It's the new year. Buying a lottery ticket is just like asking for a prize!”

Xiao Sumei wanted to reject him. After all, to the commoners in the slums, winning the lottery was still a distance away. However, when she saw the look of antic.i.p.ation on her son's face, her heart softened and she couldn't help but nod.

”Kid, you're really a playboy!” Xiao Sumei couldn't help but shake her head and smile as she walked towards the lottery store.

Ji Feng laughed in his heart. This was a success!

As long as his mother was willing to enter the lottery, Ji Feng was confident that he would be able to get a bonus. This way, he wouldn't have to lie to his mother and say that there were scholars.h.i.+ps and grants in the school.

Perhaps it was because they opened the restaurant after the new year, but it was already past ten in the morning, but the lottery ticket store was still deserted, which made it convenient for Ji Feng.

”Boss, please have some fun!” Ji Feng smiled as he greeted the boss.

The owner was a man in his thirties. However, he was a bit shy, which made Ji Feng think of the words' extremely smart '. He could not help but let out a slight smile.

When the bald boss saw Ji Feng and Xiao Sumei enter, his eyes immediately lit up. His gaze was firmly fixed on Xiao Sumei as a greedy expression flashed across his face.

Ji Feng's countenance instantly turned ice-cold as a cold glint of light flickered in his eyes.

In all honesty, Ji Feng had to admit that although his mother was wearing a simple and unadorned dress and jacket, her beauty was not something these clothes could hide. Her every movement and gesture exuded a n.o.ble aura, especially her mature charm, which attracted the gazes of men.

If not for that, no one would have tried to molest Xiao Sumei back in the Slum District.

However, as Ji Feng grew up, no one dared to think badly of Xiao Sumei. After all, it was different to have a man at home.
