Chapter 661: Old Mother Temple
The expressions of these four people were very depressed, and after the middle-aged man left, someone suddenly asked: "Hey, just now Manager Zhao said that he only punished Song for fifty, didn't he say that he would punish us, right?" The other two looked at each other and said that it seemed to be the case. Mr. Song was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said impossible, everyone plays cards, why only punish me, Manager Zhao will not do this. After a few words of argument, the three of them walked away, and Mr. Song stood there and sighed.
"Shall I go out first?" Just now, Manager Zhao was already accusing Mr. Song of meeting outsiders in the work area, and I was embarrassed to stay longer. Mr. Song nodded and said that he would go out to get some air afterwards. Walking out of the warehouse and seeing the middle-aged man in a suit, Manager Zhao, walking towards the staircase, I thought about it and called "Manager Zhao" in the past. The middle-aged man looked at me and stopped, I said that it was Song Cai's friend, I was looking for him just now, I don't know if you just fined the four of them fifty each, or only Song Cai's money.
Manager Zhao asked, "Does it have anything to do with you?" I smiled and said that it was not directly related, but I was just curious, because the four people were arguing about this matter just now.
Manager Zhao let out an "oh" and said, "Only Song Cai's money will be fined." I hurriedly asked why, the four of them were playing cards, why only Song Cai was punished. Manager Zhao said that he was a few minutes late for the last check-in and clock-in, and now he is playing cards during working hours, which is a recidivist, so he is only punished, and the other three are considered first-time offenders.
"Clocking in late can't be confused with playing cards during working hours, right?" I laughed. Manager Zhao was very unhappy, and said What does it have to do with you, I am the manager, you are the manager, if I want to punish him, he will be punished, you have something to do with him, why can't you go outside the building? This is also Song Cai's violation of discipline, I have to punish him for 100. I hurriedly said don't don't, I'll go, Manager Zhao snorted and turned to go upstairs.
When he came to the small alley behind the shoe city, Mr. Song was already standing outside, he lit a cigarette and smoked sullenly. I talked about the conversation I had with Manager Zhao just now, and he said: "Look, let's just say that I'm unlucky, I've already deducted 20 minutes late for clocking in, and it has something to do with today's incident! That Manager Zhao obviously just saw me as a bully, and there was no way to ...... !" Mr. Song became more and more angry, and kicked the tire of a rickshaw parked nearby.
A man walked past us, immediately stopped, and looked at Mr. Song strangely: "What are you doing?" Mr. Song was stranger than him, and asked what he meant. The man pointed to the tricycle and said what are you kicking my wheels for, and then I realized that the car was his.
Mr. Song said that he didn't do anything, just kicked it casually, and the middle-aged man was even more angry: "My car just flattened in the morning, what are you doing with it when you have nothing to do? The middle-aged man said stupidly, telling you that if you touch my car again, you will lose the tire.
When the man walked away, Mr. Song threw the cigarette butt in that direction and scolded: "If you are sick, can you kick the tire with one kick? Mr. Song said Look, I'm so unlucky, and I don't know what's going on.
I asked, "Have you been so unlucky, since when did you start?" Mr. Song thought about it and said that he had been working in Shenyang for at least three or four years. I remembered what he said about the Old Mother Temple before, so I asked him to talk about it. There are a few food stalls at the mouth of the alley, and the middle street is full of people, so I said go over and eat a few skewers of fried chicken, and chat while eating.
Out of the alley, across the road near the big stage are food stalls, the QQ chicken rack here is very famous, a dollar a string, big and fragrant. I bought ten skewers, went back to the alley, found a step to sit down, and let Mr. Song start talking. He told me that in the first six months of his arrival in Shenyang, it was very difficult to find a job, because he had no education, no skills, and ordinary appearance, so he could only do the lowest-paid occupations, such as unit security guards, warehouse workers, and water delivery workers. Security guards can only be in that kind of business unit, not even in the shopping mall, because the shopping mall pays attention to the image of the staff, and the male should be as tall as possible, and Mr. Song is too short.
Half a year later, I changed three jobs, and I had to rent a house to eat, not only did I not save money, but I also took in 200 clothing expenses. This disappointed Mr. Song, and two security colleagues said that the crooked old mother of Jinzhou Old Mother Temple was very effective, so it was better to go and worship. Mr. Song did not believe in Buddhism, but he still followed him at the encouragement of the two. This old mother temple is very famous in Liaoning Province, there is a crooked old mother in the temple, it is said that it has a history of 2,000 years, there is a response, more powerful than any Bodhisattva. And it's very effective, and countless people come back every year to make their vows.
Mr. Song and two friends came to the Old Mother Temple, and from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, many lay people distributed pamphlets along the way, which were spontaneously printed, which recorded some "miracles" of the crooked old mother, that is, cases of wishing to be fulfilled after pious worship. The three of them read the booklet while going up the mountain, and the records in it were very divine, and even some mysteries, for example, there was a housewife who lost the gold necklace and couldn't find it, and then went to worship the old mother, and when she went home, she turned over things from the top of the wardrobe, and the gold necklace actually fell out; the two divorced all day long, and the woman went to the temple to worship the old mother, and after coming back, the husband changed his mind and never mentioned the divorce again; there were old people in the family who were seriously ill, and they were about to sell the house, and within half a month after worshipping the old mother, the hospital approved a public welfare project to treat the old man for free, and the result was good。 There are nearly 100 such "miracles", and there are a booklet full of them.
Seeing these contents, Mr. Song felt very ridiculous, so he told his colleagues that this was too nonsense, he couldn't believe it at all, and that they were all liars, and then threw the pamphlet next to the stone steps. When a layman heard Mr. Song's words, he hurriedly picked up the booklet and said unhappily: "You don't believe it, why do you slander your mother? This is retribution!" Mr. Song ignored him, and continued to go up the mountain with two colleagues, just as a tourist to relax and enjoy the scenery.
There is nothing surprising about this trip to visit his mother, but after returning to Shenyang, Mr. Song did not find any job for two months, and even the lowest wage unit failed to apply for a job at night, losing to a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Mr. Song spent more than two months in a rented house before he managed to find a job. Two or three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and his monthly salary has not been higher than 1,300 yuan, only enough for food and rent, and he feels too poor. That's not all, in the past few years, no matter food, clothing, housing and transportation have not been smooth, as long as there are unlucky things, he must have his share, and lucky things will definitely not be his turn.
