I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 26. Announcement of Results
In the original timeline, in 02, a total of 278 winners of the top four lottery were drawn nationwide, with each winner receiving a prize of 142847 yuan.

In this new timeline, Xu Qingfan placed ten more bets, reducing the prize money to 137887 yuan.

After Mr. and Mrs. Xu took the lottery ticket to claim their prize, they were shocked to see a check that still showed 1.1 million after tax!

Including the income from selling crayfish and the savings accumulated over the years, the Xu family's total assets have successfully exceeded 1.5 million yuan!
Two months after his rebirth, Xu Qingfan successfully led his family into the middle class!
However, the happy troubles soon came, and the two old people started arguing about what to do with the money.

“I think it would be great to contract a fishpond to raise fish, and then build a pig farm next to it, so the pigs’ excrement can be fed directly to the fish!” Mr. Xu argued.

"It's dirty and tiring. If you go to raise pigs, don't ever come to my bed again!"

"You're unreasonable!"

"Ugh, I should have bought ten more tickets back then." Xu Qingfan, still in bed, covered his head with the blanket, turned over, and continued sleeping.

In the end, no one knows how the two of them discussed it, but Mr. Xu spent over 100,000 yuan to buy a Hyundai car and several thousand yuan to buy a taxi license plate.

Xu's mother spent over 100,000 yuan to buy an 80-square-meter shop on the commercial street. On Uncle Xia's advice, she spent another 10,000 yuan to join the Meiyijia franchise. Including the renovation and inventory, she spent a total of 260,000 yuan.

He was very pleased with his parents' decision. Before 2014, taxi driving was a sunrise industry, with easy work and high pay.

Needless to say, the shop my mother bought was a great success. In the original timeline, there was a convenience store here that was thriving. Yao Jinping bought it in advance, which not only saved her rent but also eliminated the cost of trial and error.

The two elderly people took out another 50,000 yuan to renovate the house for the maternal grandparents. Originally, they wanted to add two more floors, but the maternal grandfather felt that it was too ostentatious and did not agree. So they only had the outer wall of the kitchen reinforced, and air conditioners were installed in the rooms and living room. A refrigerator was placed in the kitchen, a water heater was installed in the toilet, and a washing machine was installed on the balcony.

At home, things weren't idle either. Xu Qingfan finally got the air conditioner he'd been longing for, and after much pleading, he also bought a brick-sized computer.

The big shopping spree cost another 50,000.

It just goes to show that money is really valuable these days. After all that buying and buying, I still have a little over a million in my savings account.

Xu Qingfan persuaded them to buy several more shops. At over two thousand yuan per square meter, where else could you find such a price? One shop could be passed down for three generations!
However, experts and newspapers were saying that housing prices were inflated, and Xu's parents, being honest and law-abiding, naturally wouldn't listen to him.

The remaining 800,000 yuan was deposited in a three-year fixed deposit account with an annualized rate of 2.8%; 200,000 yuan was kept in a current account as a precaution.

Upon learning that depositing the money in the bank would yield 20,000 yuan in interest annually, Ms. Xu signed the contract with satisfaction.

Similarly, upon learning that his mother had only discussed an annualized rate of 2.8, Xu Qingfan felt a dull ache in his missing front tooth.

Damn it, even Alipay's annualized rate of return is more than 2.8%!

Having lived two lives, he quickly came to a realization: the decision his parents made was the best choice given the current circumstances, and it was unfair for him to criticize them from a God's-eye view.

The clock has been turned to July 20th.

Today is the day the results of the entrance exam for Experimental Primary School are released. Mr. Xu's car, which he had just finished painting, was parked early at the gate of the compound, waiting for everyone to come downstairs.

He leaned back in the car in a very flamboyant manner, his left hand in his pocket and his right hand smoking.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the neighbors coming and going, Old Xu's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Noticing his wife leaving the house, Xu Aiguo quickly flicked away his cigarette butt, rinsed his mouth with water, and breathed on it to make sure there was no smell before sitting back down in the driver's seat.

After more than two months of citywide efforts to catch crayfish, the crayfish officially became an endangered species in the county and township. Xia Guofu still had the phone numbers of the bosses who had previously ordered crayfish, and he saw a business opportunity and called them one by one. After only a few days of rest, he rushed to other provinces to wholesale crayfish.

Fortunately, Old Xu's taxi had five seats, which was just enough to fit both families, even without Xia's father. "Our Xiao Fan is amazing, he's got a house and a car all in one go," Lin Jing joked, ruffling Xu Qingfan's hair.

"Jingjing, don't praise him. This brat needs a beating. He's so young and he's already learning to gamble. What will he be like when he grows up?" Xu's mother turned around and scolded her best friend, but the suppressed smile on her face looked rather incongruous.

"You can't do that again next time." She also agreed with Yao Jinping's parenting style. Buying lottery tickets wasn't the key issue; the concern was that he might develop the wrong values ​​as a result.

Many people who have gone bankrupt started with a tiny bit of profit.

However, Xu Qingfan's case was a bit special this time; the amount of money involved was so large that it could kill him.

Many parents take their children to Macau on their coming-of-age day, exchange a few thousand dollars for chips for their children to play with, and then educate them after they lose all the chips—gambling is a dead end!
If Xu Qingfan's lottery ticket that day hadn't won, Xu's mother might have let it go, but if it had won the grand prize, then she absolutely had to pay!
We need to wake this brat up!
"Okay, okay." Xu Qingfan looked out the window with a wronged expression.

Who understands his pain! [Singing with a crooked mouth.jpg]
When the car reached the vicinity of the Experimental Primary School, it was already difficult to move. Mr. Xu parked the car far away, and the family held hands and squeezed into the center of the crowd.

A few minutes later, the group finally managed to squeeze to the front.

Xu Qingfan had good eyesight and saw his own name and Xia Xiaoxiao's name from afar.

Both of their names were ranked in the teens, but they were both number one, achieving a perfect score in both categories!

The first person's surname is Chen. Xu Qingfan guessed that in the case of a tie, the order was based on the first letter of the name.

He looked closely and counted—good heavens, eighteen perfect scores!
Xu Qingfan ranked thirteenth, Xia Xiaoxiao was fourteenth, and when looking at Xia Xiaoxiao's ranking, one's gaze inevitably fell on the fifteenth name, Xiao Ruanwen.

[Where do I feel like I've heard this name before?]
"Perfect score! Xiaoxiao and Xiaofan both got perfect scores!" Lin Jing was the first to find their names and shouted excitedly, attracting the attention of the surrounding parents.

"Really! Mom, I want to see it too!" Xia Xiaoxiao jumped up and down excitedly, and Lin Jing picked her up in her arms.

With the adults blocking her view, Xia Xiaoxiao finally saw her and the little rascal's rankings: "Chinese 100, Math 100, Total 200, Rank 1!"

Yao Jinping followed suit and picked up Xu Qingfan. He started looking from the middle and quickly found Lin Wanning's name in the 223rd place: Chinese 93, Mathematics 69, Total 162!

As everyone was leaving the crowd, they ran into Lin's parents and Wan Ning, who were also there to see the results.

"Uncle, there's no need to go check. Wan Ning's total score is 162, with 93 in Chinese and 69 in Math. He's ranked 223rd!"

"Yay!" Lin Wanning jumped up happily.

"Who is number one, Xiao Fan or Xiao Xiao?" Wen Wanqing pulled her daughter to her side to prevent her from jumping into the road. Wan Ning didn't stop either, skipping and hopping around in small steps.

"Both of them are first place, and both got full marks!" Lin Jing said proudly.

“Awesome!”

Lin Qiaoshan immediately took out his phone and used his connections to arrange for the three boys to be assigned to the same class.

"Yay! I want to be Qingfan's deskmate when I go to elementary school!"

Xia Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?
