Seven Evil Slips Chapter 22:
Cao Jinhua grilled the rice vigorously.
In the morning, Aunt Seven came over and told her that she would be in charge of the table for the bride's relatives and friends. The demeanor of hospitality is serious.
So, it is necessary to fill your stomach in advance.
Eat dry and wipe clean, and return to the room with a steamed bun. Seize the last spare time to look at this month's exhibition customer schedule, pending signing, renewal, pending promotion, and new development. , This month's goals seem to be impossible to achieve-unless the three birds with one stone can be won as soon as possible.
No, time is money, there is no need to delay, I have to tell Aunt Seven that I can't follow the whole process of the three-day banquet, and I have to leave tomorrow.
While thinking about it, the younger brother and daughter-in-law suddenly yelled in the yard: "Big sister, someone is looking for you, your colleague."
Colleague?
Cao Jinhua was so shocked that she even forgot to chew the steamed buns, so she hurriedly opened the door and came out, and saw a young girl standing in the middle of the courtyard, and two villagers watching the excitement outside the door, probably they helped to bring her here.
In my employee information form, I have filled in the address of my hometown, but the mountain road is winding, how could my colleagues find me, and this uniform does not seem to be the uniform form of the company.
Cao Jinhua was full of doubts, but the doubts quickly dissipated.
Two reasons.
First, this girl named Yan Hongsha introduced herself as a local branch of the customer service department of Atlantic Life Insurance Company, and she called her Jenny when she opened her mouth.
Secondly, Yan Hongsha said that the customer service department received a call from a customer named Henry, saying that he wanted to buy insurance for himself and a pair of brothers and sisters, and appointed Cao Jinhua as an insurance salesman. It wasn’t until after the wedding that she found out that she had gone back to her hometown to attend the wedding. In order not to keep the guests from waiting for a long time, and to save time, she made this trip and brought the guest’s information first, so that Cao Jinhua could make insurance recommendations.
Ry, isn't it just that I was thinking about killing three birds with one stone all morning?
Cao Jinhua was completely moved. Although the other party said lightly, "Go this trip", she knew that her direct supervisor must have repeatedly begged for it. For insurance salesmen, sometimes one or two orders are completed It means my level, commission ratio and management commission of the supervisor for the month, so sometimes, the whole team is helping, and the whole team works together to sign the order.
This is the power of the team!
Cao Jinhua received the customer information, and was a little incoherent with excitement: "I'll be right away, I will make insurance recommendations based on the customer information soon, very soon."
Yan Hongsha pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her tone was very serious: "The quality of service is the most important thing."
Cao Jinhua nodded quickly, thinking that the people in the customer service department of the company are different, they speak so professionally.
However, this person soon becomes less professional.
After finishing the recruiting of the first ten thousand three sects, Yan Hongsha began to look around.
——"You seem to be holding a wedding here?"
——"I've never seen a wedding in the mountains. Nowadays, weddings in the city are organized by wedding companies. The ceremony is the same, but it's not as special as the one in the countryside."
——"I hurried in the morning, I didn't expect the road to be so difficult, I haven't eaten yet, and it's raining..."
As an excellent salesperson, if you can't understand this subtext, it's too bad.
***
A few minutes after eleven o'clock, Yan Hongsha calmly sat down at the head of the wedding table.
The wedding in the mountains was really lively. The whole drying yard was covered with red and colorful colors. There was a platform with a canopy at the front, four grand master chairs were placed on it, and a speaker was set up beside it for sound transmission.
Cao Jinhua explained to Yan Hongsha that the bride and groom are orphans, and when they worship their parents, the four grand master chairs are entitled to be the parents of both parties.
It is also said that local weddings will have more procedures for worshiping tablets. At that time, not only the couple, but all the guests will have to stand up.
Yan Hongsha is very curious: "Ancestral tablet?"
Cao Jinhua couldn't explain clearly either, so she gestured to Yan Hongsha: "It's exactly the same as the tablet I saw on TV, but instead of writing about the ancestors' exams on the tablet, there is a bronze plaque embedded on it, with ancient Chinese characters on it." , I didn’t know it at first, but I checked it on the Internet, and it was the word ‘earth’ in oracle bone inscriptions.”
Oracle? Yan Hongsha's heart skipped a beat.
Cao Jinhua did not notice her strangeness: "When I was young, I asked my family members, and they couldn't tell what it meant. I guessed it myself. It is probably thanks to the land, which grows crops and allows us to eat and drink... means."
She also said that she lacked confidence. After all, Caojia Village does not grow large crops, and the source of livelihood has nothing to do with the land.
Just as they were talking, there was a faint sound of gongs in the distance, and the drying yard became even more noisy. Seventh Aunt trotted in, panting.
Said: "Hurry up, hurry up, the memorial tablet is coming in, where is Qingshan, the groom officer has to go to the entrance to pick it up."
Aoyama? That's right, he is the groom's official, and he should greet the guests table by table before the ceremony. Why does it feel like I haven't seen him for a while?
Cao Jinhua stood up from her seat and looked around, trying to find out Qingshan from the busy and excited crowd in the drying yard.
Seventh Aunt slapped her on the back: "Hurry up and look for it. If the groom doesn't accept it, the tablet will not be allowed to enter the arena. Don't let the tablet wait too long."
Not only pushed her, but also pushed several people nearby to look for them separately.
The auspicious time was not to be delayed, Cao Jinhua was very attentive, turned around the inner field, and then circled to the outer field, but still no one was seen, and the rain became heavier instead.
The sound of the gong was approaching the entrance of the drying yard. Cao Jinhua covered her head with her hands and ran towards the shed not far away.
This is the shed farthest from the drying yard. Underneath are piles of extra materials bought and borrowed for this wedding, but not used. Because of the rain, except for the roof, it is also tightly covered and opaque. Cao Jinhua wiped the rainwater off her face and took a breath. She was about to look elsewhere, but when she lifted her foot, she hesitated and stopped.
In the canvas cover, there seemed to be... voices speaking vaguely, and the sound of rain hitting the ceiling was indistinct.
Which family's baby got into it to play? Cao Jinhua walked around the pile of materials wonderingly, and when she walked to the other side, the voice became a little clearer.
It turned out to be the voice of Aoyama.
——"My cousins, my big day, even if you can't go to the table, I still hope you can watch..."
Cousin? Aoyama has cousins? Cao Jinhua's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and suddenly she remembered a person.
Could it be that... Cao Tudun?
As for it, after running away from home for so many years, he didn't even dare to show his face at his cousin's wedding, so he wanted to stay in this plastic shed?
Cao Jinhua frowned, feeling a little dazed. In fact, after so many years, she had long since dismissed this matter. There are too many gossips, and she will not go out to work in a fit of anger and come into contact with such a big world.
Now that you're back, you'll be upright at the table. Although Father Cao once said that "Da Dun'er will break his leg if he comes back again", the day of great joy will not really **** him.
Cao Jinhua swallowed, and wanted to greet Qingshan.
——"I got you out today, but I still kept it from Yafeng. According to her idea, just let you starve to death in the cave. After two days, I will tell her again if I have a chance. And said and..."
Why does this sound wrong, Yafeng? Is that the little daughter-in-law who looks congenitally deficient and speaks coquettishly and timidly? If starving to death is so serious, where do you start?
There was movement in the canvas cover, Qingshan seemed to be coming out, Cao Jinhua shivered, and hurried out like a ghost, halfway through the run, she felt something was wrong, and turned back quickly.
Qingshan just came out, and Cao Jinhua ran close panting, as if he had just seen him.
"I'm looking for you, hurry up, take the tablet."
Qingshan rushed up to meet him, with a simple and honest smile: "It just rained heavily, and the canvas has loosened, and it has been tightened again, here we come."
***
The auspicious time is almost here, the gong stops, the rain lightly falls, but hits on the roof of the shed, dense and soft, accompanied by this sound, Qingshan holds a memorial tablet in his arms, and walks away surrounded by the villagers who had previously circled the village On the side of the stage—the bride is already in place, wearing a red cheongsam, and beside her are her two bridesmaids, holding a red umbrella for her.
Yan Hongsha switched her mobile phone to camera mode, zoomed out to the closest focus, and took a picture of the memorial tablet in time when Qing Shan walked by.
That's right, just like what Cao Jinhua said, an ordinary wooden sign with an old bronze plate embedded in the middle.
But it shouldn't be the fierce letter, according to 13,000, the fierce letter should be attached to Qingshan.
While thinking about it, there was the sound of chairs being dragged beside him, and Cao Jinhua, who had just gone out to look for Qingshan, came back.
Yan Hongsha wants to inquire about the situation from Cao Jinhua.
She put away her mobile phone and chatted: "This Qingshan is the bridegroom officer? What kind of person is he?"
Cao Jinhua was a little out of her mind, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what happened just now was strange, when she first heard Yan Hongsha's question, she casually said, "Ordinary people...good people."
Yan Hongsha took a look at her, and Cao Jinhua also felt that she answered strangely, so she smiled awkwardly.
Yan Hongsha pretended to be careless: "Where did he go just now? I saw several people all over the place looking for it."
Cao Jinhua hesitated: "Who knows, it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then popped up again."
As we were talking, there was a chirping sound coming from the speaker, and it was Mr. Cao who was holding the microphone, announcing the official start of the wedding in out-of-tone Mandarin. First of all, please stand up.
The sound of pulling the stool came and went, and Yan Hongsha also stood up, and when she got up, she saw Cao Jinhua looked back nervously.
What's in that direction? Yan Hongsha paid attention, took advantage of the unpreparedness, and quickly glanced over.
It is nothing more than a plastic ceiling for storing materials.
The first ceremony is to worship the memorial tablet.
Accompanied by a long rhetoric, the weather is good, the family is healthy, the melons are long, long and long, and everyone is relieved when they finally finish reading--Yan Hongsha feels that although what The husband and wife worship has not yet started, but the most important part of the wedding ceremony in Caojia Village has passed.
This custom is really strange.
Then, worship parents, heaven and earth, husband and wife worship each other, sprinkle sugar on the stage, loot the audience, and then announce the opening of the banquet through the loudspeaker.
During this period, Yan Hongsha noticed that Cao Jinhua's eyes drifted to the plastic ceiling where the materials were piled up several times.
There are simple stoves set up under a few sheds in the distance. At this moment, the firepower is fully turned on, and the smoke in the cooking pot is steaming. They were punished to play games next to the table, and many people squeezed over to watch.
With a thought, Yan Hongsha pretended to break the porcelain bowl by mistake, picked up a piece of broken porcelain while Cao Jinhua was bending over to tidy it up, grabbed it in his palm, and then hurried to the side of the spectators.
While no one was prepared, he took the uncapped white wine from the adjacent table, covered the mouth of the bottle with his bleeding palm, held the body of the bottle with the other hand, and swung it up and down a few times.
White wine soaked the palm, it was hot and painful, and a few drops of blood melted into the wine, so faint that no clue could be seen.
Yan Hongsha put the wine bottle back to its original place calmly, stepped back quietly, took out the phone again, switched to photo mode, and kept focusing on that table.
Finally, the two people toasting turned to that table, and the table was filled with laughter. Seventh Aunt took the wine bottle on the table and filled Qingshan and Yafeng with wine.
Yan Hongsha was a little nervous, she moved her finger on the screen, zoomed in on the scene, and zoomed in again.
Qing Shan's face was full of red light, he drank it with his head up, the bottom of the cup was empty in the light, and his expression was somewhat smug.
Yafeng's wine glass was brought to his lips, and he stopped suddenly.
Yan Hongsha saw that her nostrils fluttered twice, her brows furrowed suddenly, and then she raised her head alertly.
Before Yafeng's eyes swept over in this direction, Yan Hongsha turned her head quickly, her eyesight was so sharp that she grabbed a duck leg with her hand, and she looked like she was eating it, her mouth was full of oil.
However, after biting and biting, it stopped.
She saw Cao Jinhua's figure disappear behind the ceiling where materials were piled up.
