God's Salvation Plan

The outdoor unit of the air conditioner was dripping and leaking water, forming a small mound of water on the rough red brick floor.

Tan Xiaohe moved his steps carefully to prevent himself from being dripped by the water from the air conditioner, and looked at the red and blue rotating barber shop revolving lights next door.

It looks like an old community that hasn't been demolished yet. There is a green iron gate along the street, and the community is behind the iron gate.

Now that it’s past dinner time, the sky is getting dusk, and a bright orange street light is lit on the top of the green iron gate. Under the light, there are old men and women gathered to chat about family affairs in Shanghai dialect.

They were standing on the steps of the lottery office when Li Qiqi knocked on the window.

Behind the window selling lottery tickets was an old man who pushed open the glass door and asked in Shanghai dialect with a Chongming accent, "What do you buy? Shuangse ball or big lottery?"

Tan Xiaohe stood beside him, and when Li Qiqi pulled him over, he swore and mysteriously said that he had paid the lottery numbers in advance and planned to make him rich.

He smiled, naturally he didn't believe it, but he also followed, wanting to see what tricks Li Qiqi could pull off.

However, Li Qiqi was stunned when he heard this sentence.

It's over!She forgot!She remembered vaguely seeing a string of numbers in the newspaper the day before time travel.

But she has never bought one, so she doesn't know which kind.Even the moment I stood on the steps, I even forgot the numbers behind the lottery ticket.

Seeing that she was silent, the uncle knocked on the table.

The energy that had just been raised suddenly disappeared again.

"Let's have fun." Tan Xiaohe walked over and handed over a red 100 yuan note, "Buy ten pieces for ten yuan."

"Okay." The uncle took a stack and asked him to pick it himself.

The old-looking semiconductor full-band radio on the table, with its antenna pulled up high, was broadcasting a domestic military channel.

After the old man gave them lottery tickets, he folded up the Evening News in his hand, put it on the starting table, and started broadcasting.

On the radio, a middle-aged man's voice with a straight voice is doing the program: "We know that the Crimea incident that shocked the world took place on the Eurasian continent in March today. We can see that Russia is facing a major crisis. Losses, especially as the United States uses economic sanctions at its best against Russia..."

"The current president is ***?" Li Qiqi said suddenly while lying on the window sill.

The uncle who sold the lottery ticket laughed, took off his reading glasses and came over to her and asked, "Otherwise?"

Li Qiqi also laughed, picked up the selected ten lottery tickets, and sat on the steps with Tan Xiaohe and hung them up.

Tan Xiaohe took out a one-dollar coin from his pencil case, and scratched off nine of them, "Thank you for your patronage."

"Wait!" Li Qiqi stopped him when there was the last one left.

She took out a ten-yuan sheet from her schoolbag and handed it over: "This one is mine."

"What's the difference?"

"I'm luckier than you." Li Qiqi folded the coin in his palm and bowed to the sky. "I do this before every exam. I can get at least half of the multiple-choice questions right."

Tan Xiao and "pu chi" laughed and handed over the last lottery ticket.

"You're superstitious, there's no such thing," he said.

Li Qiqi suddenly stopped when the coin was scraped away, and sat on the steps curled up with his legs back, unconvinced.Gotta say, "How about a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

Li Qiqi's eyes wandered, and he suddenly remembered what the head teacher said about the sports meeting next month when the school just started.

There must be a basketball game in the sports meeting. She recalled the one-on-one bullfight she just saw, and felt that Tan Xiaohe was recovering well, didn't she?

Suddenly she had an idea in her heart, she was a person with a mission.

"If so, how about you grant me a wish?"
