Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"Who's the thief there!"

The crowd at the supermarket entrance was so large that it was impossible to enter or exit. Four police officers who were originally maintaining order in the supermarket square, led by Captain Zhao Zhigang, pushed through the crowd and came over.

"Captain Zhao, you've come at the right time. This man was caught red-handed by our security guards for stealing goods from our supermarket," Li Renfa said as he confessed the man's crime upon seeing the police arrive.

Zhao Zhigang walked over, glanced at the food, and chuckled, "Er Mazi, you dare to steal from the supermarket now? Don't you know what day it is? You've got some nerve!"

"Hehe! Captain Zhao, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I just took too much, and the basket couldn't hold it all, so I thought I'd tuck it under my armpit first. I forgot to take it out for a moment. I didn't mean to not pay," Er Mazi argued.

"Stop talking nonsense, how much did you steal?"

Zhao Zhigang wouldn't listen to Er Mazi, that habitual thief. Li Renfa pointed to the shampoo and towels that had been found and said, "Look! They're all here. And he didn't pay for these cookies and stuff; he just carried them out like that. How arrogant!"

Er Mazi glared at Li Renfa with a fierce expression, his eyes seeming to say, "You just wait, come out and I'll cripple you!"

The guards holding him down, seeing that Er Mazi still dared to threaten Li Renfa, immediately slapped him across the face. "Kid, what's with that fierce look? Trying to stir up trouble?"

"Let me tell you, if you dare to steal anything from our supermarket again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Er Mazi was stunned by the slap from the guard. "I was just pretending, and you slapped me so hard my teeth are loose!" Er Mazi immediately put on a pitiful and innocent expression and looked at Zhao Zhigang, "Captain Zhao, he hit me!"

"Comrade, hitting someone is wrong," Zhao Zhigang said to the guard in a lighthearted "reprimand," then turned to the police officers who had followed behind him and said, "Put him in the car first, and take him back to the station after we finish our patrol."

"clear!"

Seeing that the thief had been taken away by the police, the crowd began to move again. Lin Xue, carrying the things she had paid for, slowly walked out the door. She deliberately slowed her pace when she passed the security door, and found that there really was no alarm.

interesting!

Outside the supermarket, a male and a female supermarket employee stood behind a table with a cardboard box in front of them. Seeing Lin Xue and the other customers emerge from their shopping, they immediately waved to them and said, "Hello, comrades, you can come over here to collect your eggs with your receipt!"

Lin Xue smiled sweetly and handed over the receipt. The female employee took the receipt, looked at it, and then put it into the bag next to her. She then handed a white plastic bag containing five eggs to Lin Xue with both hands and a smile.

"Comrade, please take your eggs!"

The male employee next to her held up the cardboard box and approached Lin Xue, saying, "Comrade, our supermarket is opening today. Any customer who shops in our supermarket can not only receive eggs with their receipt, but also have a chance to win a prize."

Lin Xue was overjoyed. She had never participated in a lottery before, and she never expected that there would be a prize draw when shopping. With anticipation, she reached into the cardboard box and found that it was full of round balls. She didn't pick any out, but just grabbed one at random.

Seeing that Lin Xue had finished drawing, the male employee put down the cardboard box, took the ball from Lin Xue's hand, and, in front of Lin Xue and the curious onlookers behind her, used a small hammer to crack the ball open.

The sphere was filled with mud and wrapped in red paper. It crumbled easily when tapped, revealing a small slip of paper inside. The male employee picked it up, unfolded it towards Lin Xue, and said, "Congratulations, lady, you've won a Phoenix brand women's bicycle!"

"Wow!"

"Mom, this lady won a Phoenix bicycle in the raffle!"

"Wow!"

"Wow, you're amazing! Your luck is incredible!"

"Comrade, are you selling your bicycle? I'll give you a hundred yuan, you can give it to me for free!"

"..."

The noise around her brought Lin Xue back to her senses. She was also excited by the excitement of the crowd around her and covered her mouth to keep herself from shouting out loud.

She remained motionless for a long time before finally suppressing her excitement. Her hand trembled as she reached out and took the small slip of paper, asking incredulously, "Really? I really won a bicycle?"

"Yes, ma'am, you've won a Phoenix brand women's bicycle. Please take your prize slip and go to the platform to collect your prize!"

Lin Xue followed the gaze and saw that a lot of people were now gathered around the stage where the ribbon-cutting had taken place, redeeming their prizes. She immediately clutched the small slip of paper in her hand and ran towards the stage.

As soon as Lin Xue left, the people who had been watching immediately crowded around the cardboard box, waving their tickets and shouting, "I want to draw one too!"

"Comrade, you can collect the eggs first, then enter the lottery," the female employee said.

"First come, first served! If I win a bicycle, why would I need eggs?"

"I'll go first!"

"Why did you get to draw first?!"

The crowd jostled and pushed, almost starting a fight. Lin Xue, holding the small slip of paper, went to the prize redemption area. The person redeeming the prize smiled and said, "Congratulations, you've won a Phoenix brand bicycle. Please sign your name here."

Lin Xue happily took the pen to sign her name. Someone had already carried a Phoenix brand women's bicycle onto the stage. After Lin Xue finished signing, she was invited onto the stage by the staff.

"Congratulations, comrade!"

Lin Xue walked onto the stage with a mix of shyness and joy. The crowd watching below, seeing a bicycle being carried up and a little girl coming up, immediately understood that someone had won a prize, and a buzz of discussion erupted.

"Comrade, may I ask your name?"

"My name is Lin Xue, and I'm a local from Tuocheng," Lin Xue said nervously, standing next to the host. There were also some reporters with cameras taking pictures below, which made her even more nervous.

"Comrade Lin, may I ask what your current occupation is?"

"I am a student at the School of Foreign Languages, Tuo City University!"

"How do you feel now that you've won this bicycle?"

"I'm so excited! I can't believe I actually won!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as Lin Xue spoke, the onlookers burst into laughter. The host also chuckled twice, brought the bicycle over, and gestured for Lin Xue to take the handlebars. The supermarket promoters and reporters below immediately pressed the shutter to capture the joy on the winner's face.

After pulling her bike off the platform, Lin Xue put her purchases in the basket on the front of the bike and happily rode home. She never expected that she would win such a big prize when she came to the supermarket just to join in the fun and buy some things!

The smile on his face was as bright as a spring breeze all the way!
