Chapter 1 Funeral Homes
Whenever the summer vacation is approaching, there are always a group of people who have been driven out of a place where they have lived for four or three years, and they leave with a lot of reluctance, regret, hesitation, tears, laughter, and reluctance. Graduation from the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info means the end of all the youthful years, and the beginning of the sad years that are forced to mature. To put it simply, you don't need to study, you can go to the society to find a job!
Wang Jianguo is a name in the sixties and seventies, and Wang Jianguo himself is a post-80s generation, because he missed school in his early years, and later served as a soldier for two years (being a soldier is their family's tradition), and when he graduated from college, many people of his age became fathers.
Wang Jianguo has been wandering around the talent market for a long time, but he can't find a satisfactory job. Seeing that the money in his pocket was almost spent, he couldn't just go home in a gloomy way, Wang Jianguo was very helpless and unwilling.
Early this morning, Wang Jianguo came to the talent market again. After going around the talent market several times, I finished the resume form in my hand, and most of the results I got were waiting for a phone call or email notification! At this time, Wang Jianguo was very disappointed, thinking that he really wanted to go back to his hometown? Is it true that this city does not have a foothold for his king?
Wang Jianguo did not give up and decided to take a few more turns. As he walked, he passed a stall that was not frequented by many people, and the flow of people passed in front of the stall without a stop. But there were also two or three people standing in front of the booth with hesitant and struggling expressions, as if they were making a big decision. Wang Jianguo walked over curiously.
When I got closer, there was a billboard in front of the booth that read "Ningcheng Funeral Home." Recruit a receptionist, male or female, high school degree or above, internship salary from 2000, negotiable after becoming a regular, including food and accommodation. There are four makeup artist apprentices, male or female, high school degree or above, internship salary of 3,500 yuan, negotiable after becoming a regular, including food and accommodation. Two passers-by (cremators), with an internship salary of 3,000 yuan, will be negotiated separately after becoming a regular, including food and accommodation. After Wang Jianguo finished reading the recruitment notice on the sign, he immediately showed the same hesitation and struggle as those next to him.
To be honest, this salary is very acceptable for recent graduates, especially for food and housing, which is particularly attractive and very exciting in this high-consumption and expensive city! Wang Jianguo really wanted to stay in the city.
Just when Wang Jianguo was hesitating, a man next to him took a deep breath and stepped forward and handed over the resume in his hand. Man is a strange and contradictory animal. When something is expensive, no matter how expensive it is, if no one fights for it, it will turn a blind eye and treat it as dung. But when one person starts to need it, the people behind it will flock to it.
After the recruitment booth of the funeral home was handed in by the first person's resume, the few people who were watching on the side also rushed to submit their resumes, including Wang Jianguo. The interview at the funeral home is very simple, and when the person in charge reads the resume, he simply asks a few questions and determines the candidate!
Wang Jianguo finally has a job. Manager Zhang, the person in charge of recruitment, read Wang Jianguo's resume, and immediately admitted Wang Jianguo after graduating from junior college and having been a soldier. originally wanted Wang Jianguo to be the receptionist (the receptionist was the most sought-after of the three positions), but after reading the other resumes, there were bachelor's degrees, so I no longer considered Wang Jianguo. In the end, considering that Wang Jianguo had been a soldier, and at his own strong request (Wang Jianguo couldn't bear to put on makeup on the corpse), he became a glorious cremator.
On the first day of coming to the funeral home, Wang Jianguo and his party conducted staff training. There is a lot of content in the training, and the focus of the content is to respect, respect for the dead, and the dead are big enough to make them remember the old and old. Wang Jianguo agrees with this point. The week's training ended quickly, and Wang Jianguo and the others officially began to take up their posts.
Some time before work, there were old employees who took Wang Jianguo with them, so that they could better familiarize themselves with their positions. As for the work of cremators, as long as it is a normal person's first contact, they will be hairy and afraid. In the face of the corpses that died for various reasons, the new employees Wang Jianguo and Sun Li didn't know how many times they vomited, especially Sun Li (who was admitted with Wang Jianguo), who was very pale after a few days of work, and lost several poundsγγγγγγ
Months have passed. During this time, there were a few new arrivals who couldn't stand it anymore and quit (and found a new job) after a few days. And the rest of Wang Jianguo and the others gradually stopped being afraid. Wang Jianguo even began to feel a little numb in the face of all kinds of different corpses, and his mind was blank, unlike before, he would be cranky!
Wang Jianguo and Sun Li are in a good mood today, because tomorrow it will be their turn to rest, and the two of them have made an appointment to go to the town tomorrow to surf the Internet bar and have a few handfuls! Before Wang Jianguo incinerated the last corpse of the day, and was just about to smash the bones that had not been completely burned, suddenly there was an extreme cold in Wang Jianguo's chest, and an unspeakable cold stabbed Wang Jianguo, and the cold went straight to his heart, making Wang Jianguo shiver. The chill came and went quickly, and Wang Jianguo couldn't help but start thinking nonsense, after all, it was such a place and such a job.
Wang Jianguo returned to the dormitory after work and deliberately waited for Sun Li to go to the staff bathhouse together. In normal times, Wang Jianguo is not very happy to go to the bath with Sun Li, because Sun Li likes to find someone to fight cocks when he is taking a bath (that is, he is older than anyone's second child). Sun Li's second child is older than the average person, as long as he takes a bath, he throws his little brother up, and then patrols the bathhouse like a big rooster, if no one birds him, he pulls Wang Jianguo to fight cocks, Wang Jianguo hates it.
Wang Jianguo was rubbing his hair while thinking about the inexplicable chill, and couldn't help but ask Sun Li on the side, "Sun Li!" Did you feel a chill when you went to work today? Creepy cold! β
"Cold? Nope! Why are you cold? It can't be a dirty thing! Hahaha," Sun Li said jokingly, not too concerned!
"Fuck off! You've just touched something dirty! Fight your and go. After Wang Jianguo confirmed that Sun Li was not the same as him, he fell into contemplation again, and subconsciously touched the ornament hanging around his neck, and he felt that the piercing chill seemed to come from the ornament on his chestγγγγγ
Wang Jianguo's ornament is a square stone plaque, I don't know what material, the black stone plaque does not have any carvings and words, and the shape is very similar to the ordinary Changsheng plaque. This stone tablet was hung on Wang Jianguo when he was born. When his grandfather was about to pass away, he solemnly warned Wang Jianguo, let him live well, and then pass it on to the male baby when he has a male baby in the future, saying that it was passed down from his ancestors, and it was passed on to men but not women. What else is this stone tablet of what kind of door, and the ancestors have to guard this stone tablet for generations. Wang Jianguo didn't care at the time, thinking that his grandfather was talking nonsense, so he didn't listen to it much.
Grandpa's last words Wang Jianguo's nonsense when he was an old man was confused, this ear went in and that ear went out, but one of the words made Wang Jianguo never forget it for the rest of his life. Grandpa asked Wang Jianguo to memorize two strange pronunciations, saying that they were two spells. At the beginning, Wang Jianguo was talking nonsense as a grandfather, and learned a few sentences perfunctorily, and the pronunciation of those two paragraphs was long and awkward. But I didn't expect my grandfather to call Wang Jianguo's father and ask his father to beat Wang Jianguo with a wooden stick and write it downγγγγγγ
Just as Wang Jianguo was pondering, a tingling pain came from the tip of his index finger, and Wang Jianguo looked at his finger in shock, and there was a drop of blood hanging on his fingertip. Wang Jianguo wondered, how could he prick his finger just after just touching it a few times on the stone tablet? He was all too familiar with the stone plaque, and although it was rough and uneven, it was impossible to prick his fingers.
After checking the stone tablet several times and not pricking his fingers, Wang Jianguo simply ignored it. However, at the moment when Wang Jianguo's index finger was punctured, a trace of blood was sucked into the stone plaque, which happened in an instant, and the fast Wang Jianguo didn't have time to find out.
"Cheap. Hurry up! It's almost time for dinner, hurry up! Sun Li's shout came from the door of the bathhouse!
"Got it! Xiao Lizi is waiting outside, and the main palace will be fine soon! Hahaha" Wang Jianguo began to speed up the bath after speaking. After a while, Wang Jianguo and Sun Li walked out of the bathhouse together and went directly to the cafeteriaγγγγγγ
After eating, Wang Jianguo and his accommodation employees basically went back to the dormitory, because the funeral parlors are built in remote places in the countryside, there are basically no people around, and everyone has nowhere to go. So they basically don't have any nightlife, and they all lie in bed behind the dormitory, play with their mobile phones, chat, and play cards.
The funeral parlor at night is eerie and terrifying, and the mournful cry of the wild cat in heat like a baby echoes throughout the funeral parlor, making people shudder. Wang Jianguo: They are used to it. In the sound of farting, grinding teeth, and the sound of dreams, Wang Jianguo slowly fell asleep.
"Wang Jianguo! Wang Jianguoγγγγγγ β
"Who, who! Who's calling me! In the middle of the night. Underdrawn, isn't it? β
