Buy Lottery

Ding One often walks by the river after dinner alone. This habit has continued for many years. On this day, it was already dark for dinner the day after tomorrow, and he went out slowly. When we got to the river, the lights were on, and the people walking one after another. By the light, Ding-yi walked steadily while humming a song. Suddenly, a ball of rolled paper in front caught Ding Yi's attention. Based on his daily life experience of bargaining with small change in the vegetable market, he concluded that the mass of paper was a piece of RMB, and he was not sure how much face value it was. Ding yi took a few steps forward, stepped on the piece of paper with his foot, bent down, picked it up easily, and saw: "ah! It's really RMB, it's ten yuan ! ten yuan ! " Ding yi quickly put the money into his pocket and ran home like flying.

"Wife, I was lucky to find ten dollars." As soon as he got home, Ding yi shouted loudly.

"Really! I'm so lucky to buy lottery tickets as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a contribution to the welfare cause." Ding's wife gave him a move.

"Yes, buy lottery tickets to ! Maybe you can win the jackpot." Ding Yi paced to the lottery station next to the gate of the community, stood in front of the billboard at the gate, and observed it carefully.

"Sir, you can buy a double-color ball. The prize will be awarded tonight. If you buy two yuan, you may win 10 million yuan." Wife of shop-owner a face of laughter to recommend.

"Ten million? Really?" Ding looked puzzled.

"Of course it is true. I see you are very lucky today." Wife of shop-owner is still smiling.

"How do you know?" Ding Yi was inexplicably excited when he remembered that he had just picked up the money.

"How is it? Buy it or not?" The wife of shop-owner did not answer Ding Yi's question.

"Buy, I'll buy ten dollars."

"Well, if you don't mind, I'll choose your number to your satisfaction." The wife of shop-owner said with an oath.

"All right, all right."

Wife of shop-owner skillfully selected five groups of numbers, and a lottery ticket immediately reached Ding Yi.

When he got the lottery ticket, Ding Yi seemed to have got 10 million bills. He didn't know where to put it at the moment. After thinking about it, he finally took out his wallet and put this precious lottery ticket on the interlayer of his wallet.

"The prize will be awarded tonight, remember to redeem it tomorrow."

Wife of shop-owner smiled and sent Ding Yi out of the door.

When he got home, Ding started his dream of making a fortune: after winning 10 million yuan, he went to a beautiful place to buy a villa and carry out fine decoration; he bought a luxury car and ran for a while; he took a family to travel around the world... Ding Yi held his lottery ticket and fell asleep soundly.

When I woke up from a good dream, the first thing I did was to take the lottery ticket to pay the prize. When Ding handed the lottery ticket to the wife of shop-owner, his heart almost jumped out. This ten million yuan was too hot. The wife of shop-owner calmly put the lottery ticket into the machine and said to Ding Yi with a smile: "Congratulations..." "What..." Ding Yi's eyeballs almost fell out with excitement.

"Congratulations on winning ten dollars."

"Ten dollars?"

"Don't be discouraged, sir. You won ten dollars today, which shows your luck. As long as you insist on buying, the grand prize will be yours sooner or later.

"Really?"

"I won't lie to you."

Ding yi at this time, for his 10 million, seems to be possessed. he bought the lottery ticket for the ten yuan he won, but he didn't win a cent when he went to pay the prize the next day. After being tempted by the old ladies, he paid for another ten dollars to pay the prize, but failed to win ; paid for another twenty dollars, but failed again; he paid for another thirty dollars, but failed again...

two months later, Ding yi's wife found that the money for vegetables was 300 dollars less, holding Ding yi's ear and forcing him to tell the truth. She looked at Ding yi coldly and said, "don't have a dream, you 'd better work safely and make money steadily. There will be no pie in the sky." (Hong Zhiwei)

Tutor Comments (Xu Shuifa, member of Zhejiang Writers Association, writer of short stories):

After reading this article, I think of a literary predecessor who said to me, "Be practical, be practical". He said this to me at that time because my short novel was too solid and hoped that I could change this situation. It can be said that the article "buying lottery tickets" just repeated my mistakes. Afterwards, I read a lot of excellent novels and finally understood that the life in the novels is not a copy of real life, it should come from life and be higher than life. It should be a kind of writer found life, precipitation, refining, sublimation and then combination, become a kind of art on the real life.

look back at this short novel. The story is complete, the narration is smooth, and the writing is familiar. It can be seen that the author still has certain writing skills. But why didn't I have a special feeling after reading the whole article? The problem is that the subject matter is not novel enough, the story is not tortuous enough, and the excavation of human nature is not deep enough, which is reflected in the work, that is, the contradictions and conflicts are not intense enough, the plot is old-fashioned, and the life scenes are simplified. Novels reveal the true nature of human nature, reflect social reality and highlight the characteristics of the times by shaping successful characters. Only in this way can an author who has written a novel at the beginning succeed.
