Chapter 34 How sad are the poor and humble neighbors?

You don’t like dolls… do you?

The cute pink bear wearing a hat sat back obediently, with a look of leisure as an old employee, as if to say: I haven't been fired yet, I am a civil servant at Sunshine Supermarket.

It is a pity that Chen Yuan cannot hear the voices of inanimate things.

He could hear human voices.

When he stuffed the cute bear into Xia Xinyu's arms, although he had no intention of eavesdropping, the girl's thoughts were not only written on her face.

[So cute and fluffy, it must be very comfortable to sleep with at night...]

"Well, let's go."

There is no girl who doesn't like cute dolls. This sentence is just an excuse. If Chen Yuan presses the question, it will only make the other party more embarrassed.

Besides, I should be grateful to Xia Xinyu for giving up.

[However, I can only hold the doll by myself, and the ribs can be eaten by two people...]

[If I were alone, I could save this pork rib meal]

[However, will Chen Yuan feel unhappy that the thing he gave me was rejected? 】

Not unhappy.

There is only emotion.

Poor neighbors, everything is sad.

"But you are so lucky. It seems that the bear has never been drawn. Next time, you might be able to draw it away at once." Xia Xinyu, who had lost the little bear, comforted Chen Yuan.

This reminded him of a video he saw recently on DouX. A son gave flowers to his mother, and then the mother scolded the son and forced him to return the flowers. She even filmed the video in an extremely animalistic way. , wanting netizens to scold her son for not understanding his parents’ hard work and spending money indiscriminately.

Of course, this example does not mean that Xia Xinyu is the same as his little mother.

Not so bad.

Instead, Xia Xinyu would be worried that her rejection of her gift would make Chen Yuan feel that one heart was being let down by another.

"I have always had good luck. I had no interest in drawing before. I will definitely win next time." Chen Yuan said calmly.

"Okay, I will take it."

Xia Xinyu nodded, showing a genuine smile of relief.

She was happy that she didn't feel cold.

But Chen Yuan was not so happy.

After all, a young man is trapped for his whole life by the things that are impossible to obtain in his youth.

Xia Xinyu had never received a doll bear before, and she was sensible enough not to care, but that was more because there was no one who gave her a doll bear.

Xia Xinyu, a sophomore in high school, received a stuffed bear, but she returned it in exchange for a pound of ribs because she felt sharing the ribs with her neighbors was more important.

A few years from now, she will definitely receive a stuffed bear, or even a stuffed zoo, with elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, cats and mice, as long as she wants, someone will give them to her. She herself could use her salary at that time to buy a stuffed bear as big as her own.

With a little effort, you can find the same stuffed bear you had when you were 17 years old.

But that…

They are not the same stuffed bears.

She was not sad when she did not receive a teddy bear when she was a child, because she also received other gifts. Her childhood was not just teddy bears.

The only moment she will remember about the teddy bear in her life is when she was 17 years old, when she traded the teddy bear for ribs.

It wasn't that she didn't like doll bears, nor did she like pork ribs more, it was just that she couldn't get doll bears at that time.

She at that time...

To gain one thing, you need to lose something else.

Only by losing one thing can you gain another thing.

"Wait me a moment."

Suddenly, Chen Yuan stuffed a heavy shopping bag into Xia Xinyu's hand.

Because it was so heavy, her body was pushed down a bit, and then she realized what she was doing. She was holding two shopping bags filled with vegetables in both hands, and looked at Chen Yuanyuan's retreating back in confusion.

What's going on here?

Chen Yuan left suddenly, or decisively, but without explaining the reason, which made Xia Xinyu feel nervous.

Could it be that he wanted to buy it back because he saw that I also liked the stuffed bear?

Am I making it so obvious?

Or maybe he felt a little embarrassed because I changed into a stuffed bear...

Xia Xinyu was very worried, worried that Chen Yuan would do this.

But if he went back because of something else that had nothing to do with the stuffed bears...

Standing on the spot, looking at him from afar, Xia Xinyu seemed to be waiting for a time bus at this moment. She was also full of expectations and uneasiness for the 'future station' that was just in front of her...

"Brother, can you sell me your receipt?" Chen Yuan asked proactively after finding a tall, middle-aged man with a big belly.

"You want to draw a lottery?" The tall middle-aged man looked at the small ticket in his hand and was a little confused.

"Um."

"I'll give it to you directly, no money required." The man didn't think much, gave the receipt to Chen Yuan, and said with a smile, "Do you want to smoke that bear and give it to your girlfriend? To be honest, it's difficult. This The bear is probably an internal employee of this supermarket, I have never seen anyone win it."

"I want to try."

"Then good luck to you."

"Thanks."

After the eldest brother gave himself the receipt, he got on the bus with the food.

Chen Yuan, on the other hand, took this small ticket and walked straight to the lottery table.

"Lottery...oh, please."

Because the first prize was drawn but the prize was not taken away, the lottery operator added another first prize in front of the customers and covered it with a cloth to shuffle it again.

So there is indeed a prize in it, and the merchants can afford it.

However, the lottery operator can guarantee that the first prize will not be taken away by this boy this time!

This time, no oil was applied to the ball.

Instead, he stuffed the prize into the corner of the lottery box.

According to people's habits, they will stir up the lottery box and then randomly take a ball.

But the ball in the corner will not move and will be fixed there.

Moreover, due to human hand habits and the height of the lottery box, the corner closest to the customer is the most uncomfortable position when reaching in.

After repeated observations, she also saw that customers didn't know how to touch...

【Don’t touch there! no! 】

In front of the lottery drawee, Chen Yuan pressed against the wall of the glass box, took out the ball in the corner, and placed it in front of her.

"Congratulations, it's the first prize..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Yuan hugged the cute bear away without looking back.

Only the lottery ticket is left messy in the wind.

[An old employee of Sunshine Supermarket was taken away from me twice...]

【No! ! ! Cute bear senior! 】

Chen Yuan didn't know what to give Xia Xinyu that would make her happiest.

For himself, at the age of 17, the gift he wanted most was a 145-square-meter four-bedroom apartment in Xiahai Second Ring Road.

Therefore, he could not apply himself to others and use his superpower to realize Xia Xinyu's greatest wish.

All he could do was that Xia Xinyu could get the doll bear when she was 17 years old when she wanted to receive it.

Is it sad for poor and humble neighbors?

Poor neighbor, Pepsi!

"Eh?"

Xia Xinyu was stunned when the food in her hand was snatched away, and then a big bear suddenly sat in her arms.

She just saw Chen Yuan going to the lottery booth, and then she brought the bear over, and watched as the bear was held in her arms.

Even if she saw the whole thing... it still caught her a little off guard.

"I bought a small ticket from an older brother, but he didn't ask for any money and just gave it to me." Chen Yuan explained.

"Then, you won the lottery again?" Xia Xinyu asked in disbelief.

"I just saw him secretly oiling the newly added prize ball."

"...So, you won!"

After Xia Xinyu reacted, her admiration for Chen Yuan overflowed. He was so cunning...smart...and very detailed.

Chen Yuan is too meticulous.

Fine...what are you talking about?

"It's great, I'm so lucky..."

Lowering her eyebrows and looking at the cute pink bear wearing a hat, Xia Xinyu showed an undisguised smile of joy this time.

For this kind of exceeding expectations, there is also a feeling of surprise...

She said, that's great.

"Let's go home."

After smiling lightly, Chen Yuan turned around, carried two bags of vegetables, and walked to the front.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the clouds on the horizon were dissolved into a pool. The dim yellow light shone on the two of them, and the tall Chen Yuan's shadow was stretched out.

The girl, who was a head shorter than him, slowly followed behind, lowered her head, and slowly hugged the pink bear tightly in her arms...
