Chapter 228: Got a job
But because I can't read anything.
So he told the old man and me.
There is another little detail that I haven't listened to, and the most concerned thing is the daily payment.
The job was over, and after I came down, the other party gave me a deposit.
I had about three or four hundred dollars, and I took the money and went to a market on the side.
I found a second-hand, tattered mobile phone at the vendor's side.
But it's barely usable, so I don't dislike it.
It looked like it was about a hundred dollars, and I went back with the rest of the money.
I told Murong Meijia about the job I found today.
He Xiaoli also looked at me worriedly.
"It's just a job......"
My mind is as calm as ever.
The scheduled work time was the evening of the next day, and since I was still a novice, I was mainly responsible for the vigil of the funeral home.
If you say that you are not afraid, you are afraid, but for the sake of money, I still do it head-on.
That night, I brought a black dog with me.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the funeral home, the black dog began to bark violently.
The black dog was coaxed here, and immediately came out of the hotel, a young man who looked to be in his early 20s.
"You're Zhang Jiuliu, right?"
The other party recognized me at a glance, I nodded, scratched the back of my head a little embarrassed, and followed the other party in.
After being introduced, I learned that this young man's name is Zhang Chenming.
Although he is only in his early 20s, he has been working in this funeral home for 5 or 6 years, and he can be regarded as a veteran.
"There are no rules in our hotel, and there is nothing you need to do at night, just be responsible for patrolling, almost, you can do it yourself, just patrol two or three times!"
Zhang Chenming shrunk his neck as he spoke.
I thought to myself, this man is quite talkative, so I handed a pack of cigarettes from my pocket.
"This is a newcomer, and I hope the master can give me more advice."
I still know the rules.
With a pack of cigarettes on the road, the other party's attitude towards me was obviously much better, and he introduced me to many things in the funeral home around the clock.
"Of course, even though it's the home page at night, don't be afraid...... Around our dormitory is the Buddha in the temple...... So, nothing big deals. ”
I nodded, nervous at the beginning, but now much better.
One night, Zhang Chenming took me to keep vigil together.
As soon as the sun had set, Zhang Chenming took a flashlight and went to the funeral home with me to sweep around.
"We don't work here after nightfall...... In addition, this city is not big in the first place, and it is generally concentrated in the morning, and in the afternoon it is quite rare, and even less in the evening. ”
I nodded, and listened to all of them.
Zhang Chenming took me around.
This funeral parlor looks quite big at first glance, but in fact, after going around inside, I found that the location is so small, and there is a large area behind it that is empty.
Listening to Zhang Chenming, a large piece of open space here is used to hold ashes.
Of course, I also raised objections, after all, in my mountain village, people are not cremated.
"But, aren't they all going to be urns?"
I saw that there were still urns sold in the small shop at the entrance of the funeral home, of course, the price was very expensive, and the shape was not good-looking.
"Of course the urn will be given, but one person burns so many things, where can the urn be ......"
Hearing Zhang Chenming say this, I nodded.
After walking around the funeral home, I was familiar with the location, and I deliberately remembered where the toilet was? There is also the location of the dormitory.
"The long night will soon pass."
After returning to the dormitory, Zhang Chenming took out a bottle of wine from his cupboard.
I also took two glasses along the way.
I glanced at the glass, it was a little dirty, and it was covered in dust.
So I took the glass and went to the toilet to wash it, and there was a small sink next to the dormitory.
It's just that you can't go to the toilet here.
I glanced at the toilet again, and it wasn't a long way to go, but it was a turn.
And the light in the hallway happened to be broken, so it created a shadow.
After washing the cups, I quickly returned to the dormitory.
Zhang Chenming didn't know when, so he took out a little side dish to accompany the wine.
Place them one by one on the table.
"Drink some wine and warm up, I'm afraid it won't be too peaceful tonight!"
I'm a little afraid of Zhang Chenming's words.
Glancing out of the door for no apparent reason, the lights outside had been turned off, so the door was pitch black.
Zhang Chenming poured me a pot of wine, and then I drank it all and ate a few more bites of side dishes.
I feel like I'm getting warmer and better.
After drinking a little wine, my chatterbox was opened, and I told Zhang Chenming all the things I had lived in the mountain village before.
How did I know that Zhang Chenming and I were in the same mountain village, but because his parents came out early, he had already come out of that mountain village when I was two or three years old.
When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears.
It's rare for the two of us to see each other, but I didn't expect it to be so fateful.
In view of the identity of a fellow countryman, Zhang Chenming told me a lot about the funeral home.
I listened to them all.
After drinking, all the side dishes were eaten.
Zhang Chenming raised his hand and looked at the tattered watch in his hand.
"It's not too early, we're going around and then we're back to sleep."
I thought to myself, this job is quite easy, I only need to make two or three rounds a night, and then I can come back to sleep, and the money is in vain.
However, when I took my things and went on patrol with Zhang Chenming, I suddenly regretted it.
"After that, I need you to keep a vigil here alone......"
Zhang Chenming and I spoke.
He had always been in charge of the vigil alone, after all, he was the youngest employee here.
After I came, he gave me the stall.
Because I drank some old wine before.
So I feel warm now, but I don't feel too scared, I have a flashlight in my hand, the light is still quite bright, and with that, there is already a light in the corridor.
The main building of the funeral home is in another building, and our side is mainly some offices, as well as dormitories.
"Originally, when we built it, we were going to be together, but there was an old man who could read feng shui and said that we couldn't be together. In the end, there were some problems with the funding, but in the end, they were separated. ”
Hearing this, I felt that Zhang Chenming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Following Zhang Chenming, he walked around the main building of the funeral home.
"Actually, I don't think it's very interesting, but I still have to go......"
Zhang Chenming told me that no one was responsible for keeping vigil, after all, no one dared to come to this place during the day, let alone at night.
