Chapter 56: Part-time work at the funeral home

The other side didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he heard Qingzi's impatient voice: "You can think about this little for so long, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

It seems that I guessed correctly, and I can't help but feel a burst of joy and a sense of satisfaction. Lying on the rope for a while, I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't help but ask again: "You say, is this ghost man surnamed Bai?" I think it's eighty percent of him. ”

I only heard Qingzi's voice come coldly: "Is it surnamed Bai, what does it matter to you?" ”

I muttered to myself, we are sleeping in this haunted house now, the day is precarious, you are capable, you don't take anything seriously, I still want my own life! However, although he was not convinced in his heart, he didn't dare to show half of it.

It's just that this matter is really related to my little life, so I still stubbornly asked: "Could this Bai Wenli be related to the Bai family in southern Xinjiang?" ”

Earlier, I asked Qingzi who the Bai family in Maobi Village was, and why they lived in seclusion here for many years, just to guard her grave. But every time I mentioned it, the dead woman ignored me, and I had no way of knowing.

"I can't sleep with so much nonsense, believe it or not I'll break your dog's legs!"

I was taken aback, and I didn't dare to talk more, so I honestly lay on the rope and pondered for myself. The shadows of Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan, the two ghost girls, stood in the corner of the wall on the right, and only Bai Shengsheng's two bodies were faintly seen in the dark. I had the heart to take a peek a few times, but I couldn't see it clearly.

For a period of time after that, although it was hard work, there were no moths. However, every time I went to the old man's shop to drink tea, the old man stared at my face for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "Yin Tang's black and dark face is a sign of yin qi." If you don't move out quickly, it'll be too late! ”

I also know that he has good intentions, but I can't be the master at all. But this little old man has a good saying, he said that I am full of yin qi, and it is really true. There are two ghost girls Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan sticking to me day and night, aren't they full of yin qi?

However, seeing that the money in my hand was being used up in a hurry, but no half of it came in all day, I was very distressed. If this continues, sooner or later the money on hand will run out, and what will you eat when the time comes? I came to the store this time to inquire with Old Man Qian, whether there is a shortage of people in his store, or if there are any factories and restaurants nearby, and I want to recruit people.

When the old man heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and said, "No! Or! Who would dare to ask for a child labor like you? Child labor is illegal, do you know it? ”

In short, it wasted a lot of my words, and in the end, nothing was said.

What can I do if it goes on like this, it's impossible to expect Qingzi to make money. This lazy woman can't even wash her own clothes, and she has to ask me to pick up a few pieces of melon skin on the ground, and she can still expect her to go to work to support her family? It's good to buy less clothes and lose less!

I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't eat well. If this continues, I'm really afraid that I will be able to get gray hair at the age of twelve. People say that they don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, when I followed my third uncle in the past, although I was in charge of the house, responsible for food and clothing on weekdays, but with the third uncle, the pillar of making money, plus I was an assistant next to me, and the money I earned was still enough for our grandfather to spend on weekdays.

It's just that it's good now, a lazy lady who doesn't know anything, a little kid who even breaks the law as a dishwasher, how will she live in the future?

Seeing me sighing, Old Man Qian squeezed his eyes at me and asked me if there was anything like the black and silver bracelet last time at home, which could be sold to him, so that I would not worry about life.

This little old man, I knew he had this idea in his heart. He glanced at him and said, "You old fox, that bracelet was sold at a loss last time, and I dare to give you something here?" ”

Old man Qian shouted that he was wronged, saying that the price of the bracelet last time was absolutely fair, and Tong Su was not deceived. Although I don't know this business, I know that this old guy is not telling the truth. However, this is also understandable, after all, those who do business in the market must have to make money.

I was in a bad mood and didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so I grabbed a few pastries and left the store, seeing that it was not early, I went to the market to buy a few vegetables and prepare to go back to cooking. It's just that seeing that the family's savings are getting smaller and smaller, they are reluctant to buy meat dishes, and only choose a few of the cheapest vegetarian dishes. I'm not afraid that woman will pick her mouth, the family has no money, and I have to lower the food standard?

When I passed by an alleyway, my eyes squinted, and I accidentally saw a job posting on a telephone pole next to me.

Ronghua Funeral Home Recruitment Notice: Due to work needs, we are now openly recruiting a makeup artist from the society, including food and accommodation, and preferential treatment. Interested parties please go to the Ronghua Funeral Home in Sanhua District for an interview.

When I looked at it, my eyes lit up instantly. Damn, corpse makeup artist, that's my old job! I still have some impressions of this Sanhua District, which should be not far from the Yongchang District where we live now. I've lived there for so long, and now I know that there is a funeral parlor in Sanhua District.

This position is definitely tailor-made for me, what I do is my old job, not to mention, but also food and accommodation, not only can I have one person's food money left, but also have a perfect excuse not to live in that ghost building, isn't life beautiful?

It's just that the only thing that worries me is that at my age, it's an indelible hard bar, and a place like a funeral home is unlikely to hire a child to work. Hey, it's so hard to find a job these days.

Although the hope was a little slim, I was unwilling to take down the recruitment notice, carry it on my body and take it home. When I went back, Qingzi was reading a book on the sofa in the living room, and when she heard me enter the door, she didn't lift her eyelids and asked me where I had gone.

As soon as I looked at the sky, it was indeed a little later than usual, so I said that I went to the old man's store for a while, mentioning that our family was short of money and lacked money to spend, and the old man asked if our family had anything to do to be again, what an old profiteer!

I said this on purpose, while peeking at Aoko's reaction to see what she had to say.

I didn't think that the dead woman didn't pay attention to my words at all, but just hummed and said, "Go cook, it's not too early." ”

I cursed in my heart, so I had to take the food to the kitchen.

The night was spent on the rope again. The ability to sleep on the rope has not increased by half a point during this time, but when he is awake, the time to let go and lie down has been extended, and he can already hold on for more than a breath, but Qingzi's request for the dead woman has also increased.

So he was still thrown into the cold bone well again and again. However, after this period of time, I have also adapted to the cold air below, so that I am not as embarrassed as I was the first time. I was bored at the bottom of the well, and every time I went down to see the strange skeleton, every time I looked at it, I always had a weird and wonderful yin feeling.

The next day, I got up early in the morning and made breakfast, but the woman who didn't usually get up at this point, so she left a note on the table, saying that she was going out to look for work. Then I went to the station and took a ride to the Ronghua funeral home written on the recruitment address.

Sanhua District is not far from Yongchang District, which is only about 20 minutes by car. However, the car is not directly to the funeral home, but to the station in Sanhua District. After getting out of the car, I found an uncle who sold pancakes and fruits on the side of the road, and asked him to bring me a set, and by the way, I asked where the Ronghua Funeral Home went.

When the uncle heard this, he rounded his eyes, looked at me several times, and said, "You little baby, what are you doing in that place?" ”

I didn't dare to say that I was applying for a job, so I casually made up a lie, saying that I had a cousin who worked there and that I was going to find him for something.

The uncle stopped the pancake movement, raised his throat and said, "Isn't this nonsense?" How can you let this little baby go to such a place! If there's something, he should come out to you! ”

I'm a little strange, are the people here so taboo about funeral parlors that even children are not allowed to enter them? He said a few times and said, "My cousin can't leave because of something, so I'll go to him." ”

The uncle shook his head: "I can't go, I can't go!" Your cousin doesn't know anything! Even adults don't dare to go to that place casually, you little baby don't go! ”

I didn't expect this uncle to look tall and big, but he was so superstitious and taboo.
