Chapter 18

"The waves rise, and the waves that finally rise to the huge waves of swallowing the boat."

Zen Master Yongming Yanshou of the Song Dynasty explained the butterfly effect in this way, and the modern explanation means that in a certain system, slight changes under initial conditions can cause long-term and huge chain reactions of the entire system.

However, not every butterfly will cause a storm, and not every drop of water will cause a huge wave.

Zhao An knew that he had changed some things. In the knowable future, many things in his impression would be changed, but will this world be beyond recognition?

No, Zhao An doesn't think so, the coercive force of the historical process is inevitable, and accidental events only change locally... Many things that should happen will still happen.

Zhao An didn't care about the historical progress of major events. He only cared about his family. It would be enough for the people he cared about to live a better and happier life.

Five million fell from the sky. Although the chain reaction caused by this incident did not cause any major events, it was really a major event that could change life for the Zhao family.

After returning from the restaurant, the reporter and Shen Wan left. Along the way, some familiar people greeted him. The enthusiastic smiling face seemed to be a long time old friend, whose squinting eyes were covered by smile patterns. It seemed that it was not the Zhao family who made a fortune, but them.

There were many people pointing and talking about gossip. Some stood at the doorstep, some looked up from the building, and some ran over to ask questions directly. Without those angry and indifferent expressions, they seemed even more artificial. Zhao An remembered that the scene after his parents passed away seemed to be different from now, but the schadenfreshing elements in their expressions now turned into deep jealousy.

Five million... Why is the Zhao family so lucky? Didn’t they just give a beggar a bag of buns and a few dollars? Who wouldn’t do such a trick?

Those who think this way will probably not give alms when they see the beggar the next day. Zhao An is very sure of this. Those who do not believe that pies will fall from the sky will never pick up pies.

Reducing his disgust, Zhao An's smile on his face was clear. Under the illumination of the street lights, the lines and shadows were clearly separated, and a fallen leaf was broken. Zhao An turned his head at the door of his house and saw Hu Yue holding Ye Luoluo's hand.

Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu also saw it. Hu Yue's expression was a little hesitant, and Ye Luoluo was curious and excited. Zhao An ran over and said, "Aunt Hu, do you know too?"

Hu Yue nodded and smiled slightly, "Your family has been overwhelmed. There are so many people in the afternoon, so I didn't come to join in the fun, but I always feel that I should say congratulations to you."

"Go upstairs and talk..." Zhao Datong was still wearing the clothes that Hu Yue lent him and whispered: "I should have told you the first time, but if you think about it, I'll just wait until someone leaves before telling you specifically."

"No need for this. I know you didn't hide it on purpose until the end and refused to tell me. I feel much more comfortable." Hu Yue's smile naturally became much more.

"Look where you want to go. Are we like this?" Qin Zhu angrily said. She knew what Hu Yue meant and did not want the two families to help each other in times of trouble. The Zhao family became rich, but instead became rich. Such things were so common.

Hu Yue followed Zhao An and Qin Zhu upstairs. Although she heard from the neighbors' discussions, she still wanted to hear her old friend say that women are born to love gossip and discussions. What's more, how can they not care about such a big thing?

"Brother An, is your family considered rich?" Ye Luoluo and Zhao An walked behind, and Ye Luoluo asked nervously.

"Think about it... a big fortune is not considered a good fortune, but it can be considered a little fortune." Zhao An nodded.

Ye Luoluo's cheeks were flushed, and she kept talking nonsense, and her fingers were twisted. It turned out that Aunt Qin had told her mother that if she really got through the difficulties and became rich again, she would give Hu Yue a large dowry and marry Ye Luoluo into the house...

Will Aunt Qin tell her mother about this later? What if they say this?

"What are you thinking?" Zhao An didn't remember these things, and he couldn't remember that Ye Luoluo was thinking about this now. Seeing her eyes were wet and her awkward expression seemed to be entangled in major events in life, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and she held Ye Luoluo's shoulder and walked upstairs.

When I was a child or even a few years ago, the intimacy between Zhao An and Ye Luoluo was no different from that of ordinary siblings, and there was no scruples in physical contact. However, Zhao An and Ye Luoluo did not play much this year. Now that they are intimate again, Ye Luoluo has a lot of emotions and strangeness.

He leaned his head against his shoulder, and a low sound made from Ye Luoluo's nose, pouted, and Ye Luoluo was staggering into the house by him half-pushing and half-wrapping.

The three adults had already sat down. Seeing that Zhao An and Ye Luoluo were coming in together, Hu Yue and Qin Zhu looked at each other and said nothing... Of course, they didn't mean to guide each other deliberately, or even say some ambiguous words. After all, they were old and never thought that the two children could not be too intimate, but they wouldn't care that they really gave birth to some feelings between men and women.

"Luoluo, come and eat candy..." The Chinese people's habit is to come to the door and be guests, so today, when the reporters came, Qin Zhu bought a lot of fruit candy and ordered it.

Ye Luoluo sat on the sofa, not participating in the adults' words. She obediently picked up a milk candy, thought about it, and gave it to Zhao An, asking him to peel off the plastic paper for himself.

"Now, you're happy to have all the hardships... You've worked hard enough, be careful in the future. I guess there will definitely be many people who have made your own ideas." Hu Yue drank tea, with a little worried smile.

Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu are neither young boys. They are used to the warmth and coldness of human relationships and are mentally prepared.

"If you don't talk about these... take this." Zhao Datong went back to the room and took out a bag. It was heavy and heavy.

"What are you doing...no need!" Hu Yue was startled. She could guess what was here. This was definitely not 30,000 or 20,000, or at least 100,000 or more.

"For such a long time, you are only dedicated to our family, and your life is so tight that you have been burdened with... You have never seen you buy new clothes for Luoluo. We can also tell who treats our family sincerely. Shen Wan still knows that the kindness of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone where are you just the kindness of water to our family?" Qin Zhu held a bag and stuffed it into Hu Yue's hand, "If the family doesn't speak two words, we don't use the polite etiquette."

Hu Yue took it, but put it down carefully, "Aren't you bad examples for your children? I'm not trying to help you, it's because the family doesn't say two families, and I can't ask for it. Besides, although it's easy for you to come from this money, you have to plan to come. I'm really worried that you can give it here and there, and it will be gone soon... This kind of thing has happened before. Those things that won the jackpot and are poor in a few years are not common? I'm saying this is ugly, but I'm also going to give you a precaution... Of course, I know you are not the kind of people who are big-handed and will lose their fortunes."

"Dad, mom... I think it's better to give Luo Luo a little more New Year's wallet during festivals. As for Aunt Hu, our family doesn't need her to help, and her life will be easier. In the future, Aunt Hu will not worry about this and that person who refuses to talk to us. If there is a useful place at that time, you can just get money." Zhao An sat next to Ye Luo Luo. His parents should still be in the excitement and nervousness of making a fortune, and he didn't think clearly. It's really not good to give money directly like this. Although they are kind-hearted and only want to repay Hu Yue, they will give Hu Yue a lot of pressure and burden, and they feel that it will make the friendship between the two families helping each other in times of trouble.

This is not what Zhao An wants to see. It was like this before, but it is still like this now. He is soft-hearted and has short-handed people. Hu Yue took so much money from the Zhao family at once, and he may have some mental imbalance and discomfort.

"You two are not as sensible as Zhao An." Hu Yue pursed her lips and looked at Zhao Datong and his wife with a angrily look, patted Zhao An's back of her hand, but she liked him very much. Looking at her daughter who was sitting next to Zhao An and eating candy obediently, Hu Yue felt relieved.

Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu also reacted, feeling that their son was right, and they were a little ashamed that they did not pay as much attention as their son, but they were even more relieved that their son was really much more sensible, and these human relationships were handled well.
