The world is so big, there are no wonders, and behind every treacherous folklore, there is an unknown fact, but before it is solved, these are taboos for living people.

Folklore 1: Granny He's grandson had a high fever and didn't look good when he went to the hospital, and after Granny He made him a paper figure and burned it, her grandson was fine the next day! (A normal cold, the hospital won't look bad, right?) ）

Folklore 2: Grandpa Wang runs a paper shop, one day there was a fire in his shop, and all the things in the store were burned out, but the paper people in the store appeared safe and sound at the door of his store with the door locked. (Did someone move the paper figure out?) But how do you get in when the door is locked? ）

Folklore 3: Widow Liu has been dreaming that her husband came to ask for her life, and she dreamed for a week, but she was really unbearable to find someone to help in the paper shop, and made a paper man to write a birthday eight characters, and after burning it, she never dreamed of her deceased husband again. (Was this a coincidence?) ）

Behind all kinds of weird folklore, is there really no trace to be found?

Take a deep look at the story of the paper shop, the paper shop you see is not only used to pay tribute to the ancestors......

I was born in the countryside, the family conditions are not good, and my parents are already sixty years old, just me such a son, before I was born, my parents also gave birth to a few children, but I don't know why, none of them can live past the age of five, and then my parents went around praying to God and worshiping Buddha, almost forty years old to have me, on weekdays rarely criticize me, just hope that I can grow up safely.

The fortune teller said that I have three catastrophes in my life, and there was one when I was eighteen years old, I don't know if the failure of the college entrance examination counts, anyway, I didn't get into college, so I stayed at home and looked for a job.

In this era when college students grab a lot of money, it's really not shameful enough for me to break my academic qualifications, and it's generally good to earn two or three thousand just after graduation. So, when my family called me and told me that the paper shop in the town was hiring a reserve manager and was giving me 6,000 yuan a month, I immediately ran back for an interview.

The paper shop is in our town, two miles away from our village, you can live directly at home, the rural consumption is low, I can save 5,000 a month salary of 6,000, and I can save 5,000 a month, and I can save the bride price of my daughter-in-law for two or three years.

On the day of the interview, I got up early, cleaned myself up, and rode a bicycle to the town with my resume. The store sells all kinds of funeral supplies, but the people in the village are used to calling it a paper shop.

I thought that there would not be many applicants for jobs in such a small shop in such a small town, but I was wrong, a room full of people. I peeked at the resumes of a few people, all of them undergraduates, and a few of them were pretty good schools.

And although these applicants are not a few years older than me, they all have straight suits, shiny leather shoes, and even neat ties, plus the expressions that have obviously been cultivated and seen the world, as if they have really been managers for a few years. When I went out in the morning, I felt that my image was still good, and now I feel that I am purely a monkey who ran to the wrong set, which is funny.

I scanned my eyes several times, only to notice that in the other corner, there was another shabby candidate who was shrunk like me, wearing a school uniform. I won't say which school it is, anyway, it's the kind of school that you can go to by paying a little money, and it's not from Lotus City, it's Yongcheng City next to Lotus Pond. Compared with him, I actually have a little sense of superiority, I am a local, if the other conditions of the two people are similar, then the interviewer will definitely give priority to hiring locals.

I slipped up to the student in the school uniform, looked like he hadn't woken up, and asked him, "Did you come to the interview in a hurry and get up too early?" It's a long way from your side. ”

The student was taken aback by me, and as he looked up at me, I took the opportunity to glance at his resume, whose name was Chan Ka Keung.

Chen Jiaqiang smiled shyly and said, "Where is there such an early car, and I am not familiar with this side, I came here yesterday, Master Zhao saw that it was not easy for me to come all the way, so he let me stay in the store for a night, which is in this house." ”

I glanced at the furnishings in this room again, and it shouldn't be a good experience to stay here for a night, and blurted out, "Yourself?" ”

Chen Jiaqiang said: "Sort of, but Master Zhao was also in the store last night, I said that I went to accompany him to work overtime, but he said that it was inconvenient, let me sleep here by myself, and brought me a quilt." Master Zhao has taken care of me very much, but I am naturally timid, and I didn't dare to pass through their doors for several days when someone died in our village, so I basically didn't sleep much this night. I always feel that there is something blowing on the back of my neck, and it is still cold and swishing, looking at these paper figures, it is also like being alive. ”

I asked him, "You are so timid, why do you still have to look for such a job, and when you officially go to work, then you don't have to face these things every day?" ”

Chen Jiaqiang lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "No way, when I was very young, my father was gone, just me and my mother depended on each other, and now my mother is sick again, I have to hurry up to earn money." Actually, I'm only a sophomore this year, but even if I can't study, I have to earn money quickly, and if I can't find a job, I really have to sell my kidney. ”

When Chen Jiaqiang said these words, he quietly raised his voice so much, although it was still not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the room to hear it, and everyone looked up to look over here, and I don't know if this kid deliberately wanted to say these words.

Supposedly when I met him for the first time, I just asked casually, he didn't need to tell me his tragic origin so seriously, right? Did he want me to think that he was very poor and in need of money, and then asked me not to fight with him, and wanted me to give him this job opportunity?

But it's useless for me to let it go, the competitiveness of the two of us is basically the first and second to last among these interviewers, even if I quit the competition, he may not be able to succeed in the application.

Moreover, I obviously saw that the mobile phone used by this extremely poor student was much more expensive than mine. If I remember correctly, the mobile phone should be more than 2,100 yuan, I looked at my mobile phone that was only worth 1,000 yuan, and suddenly felt that I was a very considerate of my parents and a good child who knew how to be diligent and thrifty.
