Chapter 949: What’s the Prize?
Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as Gu Yundong finished speaking, someone jumped up. “Ah, I won. I won.”
Although he couldn’t read, he knew how to count.
Immediately after, voices rose and fell in the crowd. “I got it too. Hahaha, I got it too.”
When most people saw the words in their hands, they sighed.
Then, they shifted their gazes and looked enviously at the people who had won the lottery.
Gu Yundong said, “Winners, please come up first.”
A few people in the crowd walked forward excitedly.
There were fifteen people. Four were women, and the rest were all men. After all, the percentage of male workers was relatively large.
They held the notes tightly in their hands. Their faces were slightly red from excitement, and their eyes were strangely bright.
They handed the notes to Tong An and asked him to tell them the prize they had won. After all, they could not read.
It just so happened that a woman and a man won the first prize. The woman was from the neighboring village. It was said that her family was in trouble, and her four children were crying for food. The oldest was only eleven years old. The man in the family was not in good health, so he could only do some simple work.
Later on, this woman entered the Gu family’s workshop and got paid. Only then did her family’s life gradually improve.
She did not expect her luck to be so good that she won the first prize.
Someone said softly, “Mrs. Sun’s bitter life has finally come to an end. Ever since she entered the Gu family’s workshop, her luck has also come.”
Gu Yundong thought that Mrs. Sun would definitely like this prize.
As for the other first prize winner, he was from Yongfu Village. His family background was alright.
The second prize was given to a woman and four men. One of them was Zhao Zhu, and another two were from the neighboring villages. The remaining man and woman were from Yongfu Village.
The remaining two women and six men won the third prizes. Some were from Yongfu Village and some were from the neighboring villages.
These fifteen people were all very excited. Even someone as steady as Zhao Zhu clenched his fists tightly.
Gu Yundong got someone to bring everything up.
“Next, let me tell you what the prizes are.”
She lifted the cloth on the first pile, revealing what lay beneath.
“This is the third prize. There’s not much. I hope you like it.”
Everyone leaned forward and saw boxes on the ground. Inside were cinnamon, red dates, peanuts, melon seeds, and other snacks.
Everyone could not help but widen their eyes. This was quite a lot. This was enough to entertain guests for the New Year.
Moreover, there were many things that they could not bear to buy during the Lunar New Year.
Not to mention, there were two pots of wine. Judging from the logo, this wine seemed to be brewed by the Tao family in the county city. It was not that kind of cheap wine.
Anyway, it was completely different from what they were drinking now. They had never even touched it.
Many people present could not help but swallow their saliva.
The eight people who won the prizes were overjoyed and looked at the gift boxes eagerly.
This box… looked good too.
Gu Yundong distributed the items one by one. The eight of them thanked her profusely. When they received the food boxes, they walked back to their original positions in satisfaction.
The people at the same table immediately surrounded someone. They wanted to reach out to eat the things in the gift box, but he slapped them away.
“What are you doing? This is what I have to bring back. I still have to show it to my wife. Don’t think about eating it, and don’t mess it up.”
“Look at how stingy you are.” The person beside him snorted and continued to look ahead. There were so many delicious food for the third prize. He wondered what the second and first prizes were. He was so looking forward to it.
