Chapter 98: Good Luck (Two in One) On the way back to the village. Long Jingshan hesitated to speak several times. Zhang Chi asked curiously: "Uncle Jingshan, where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you carsick?" Long Jingshan waved his hands and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, haha." "is it?" Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows, feeling that Long Jingshan was in an unpleasant mood. After the two returned to the village. After a simple lunch, we rushed to the Mazu Temple without stopping. There weren't many people going this time. Generally, only those who had a vow to fulfill or those villagers with good family conditions would go.
Because I also have to bring the old village chief and two elders from the village. Zhang Chi did not drive the Audi R8 in the afternoon, but instead changed to the Emperor Escalade. This big guy is just right for seating six or seven people. The Mazu Temple in Shamen Town is located in Dongling Street of the county seat, near the convenience store that Long Jinggang opened before. When Zhang Chi and his group arrived, Long Jingfang and several villagers had been waiting for a long time. Zhang Chi also saw Long Fengjiao, who did not get along well with her mother, as well as her husband who married into the family and her daughter Long Xiaoyan. When Long Xiaoyan saw Zhang Chi, she ran over enthusiastically. A pair of big eyes were almost glued to the logo of Zhang Chi's Cadillac. "Brother Chizi, are you the only one coming here from your family?" Zhang Chi smiled and nodded in response. Long Xiaoyan stepped forward with a smile and said, "I heard Yiyi tell me about the food stall. Brother Chizi, are you not injured?" Zhang Chi's expression changed, and he remembered the girl named Tang Yiyi. After that night, I had so many things to do that I simply forgot about her. Anyway, it was all thanks to her that night, otherwise Long Jinggang would have been blackmailed for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Thinking of this, Zhang Chi asked curiously: "I'm not injured. By the way, is she okay?" Long Xiaoyan sighed and said, "Yiyi resigned." "what happened?" Zhang Chi's brows were furrowed. Hearing this, Long Xiaoyan was filled with indignation for her sisters and said, "There is a man in their company who is so disgusting. He harasses Yi Yi every day. He just sent Yi Yi to the hospital, but he still haunts her until she agrees to date him." Zhang Chi recalled the man who had obviously practiced that night and nodded thoughtfully.
Long Xiaoyan went on to say, "Yiyi was afraid that he was a pervert, so she resigned a few days ago and gave up her house overnight. Now she is back in the village to live off her parents. I heard that she was going to Haisha to find a job, but I don't know if she has gone there yet." Zhang Chi smiled bitterly. I didn't expect so many things to happen after that day. Come to think of it, it was I who caused Tang Yiyi to lose her job. If I hadn't asked her for help that night, this wouldn't have happened. Listen to Long Xiaoyan mention sea sand. Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said, "What type of job does she want to find?" Long Xiaoyan thought Zhang Chi was just talking nonsense, so she casually replied, "What other job could it be? She has been working as a receptionist for two years after graduation. She doesn't know how to do anything else." "The front desk?" Zhang Chi nodded slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Hongguang. Zhang Chi doesn't like to owe favors to others. Besides, it's not easy for a girl who has graduated for only two years to find a job. It was rare to have a job, but I quit it because of myself. Not long after. Ye Hongguang replied with a message and attached a WeChat business card. Zhang Chi saw that it was an old acquaintance, the lobby manager of Shangri-La. Zhang Chi added Manager Zhou on WeChat and briefly explained the situation. The other party immediately asked Tang Yiyi to find time to go for the interview. Zhang Chi found Tang Yiyi’s WeChat and sent her the chat history with Manager Zhou. Unexpectedly, Tang Yiyi replied almost immediately. "Brother Chizi, is this true?" Before Zhang Chi had time to reply, the video call interface lit up. Chic and funny click to call. Tang Yiyi's cute, slightly playful face popped up on the phone screen. "Brother Chizi, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Zhang Chi smiled. Long Xiaoyan, who was standing next to him, was startled, then came over and said, "Brother Chizi, are you, are you video chatting with Yiyi?" Tang Yiyi obviously also heard Long Xiaoyan's exclamation, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Brother Chizi, are you with Yanyan?" Zhang Chi nodded and replied, "We are at the Mazu Temple." Tang Yiyi then remembered what day it was today and that her parents were also there. She was extremely upset at the moment.
If she had known that Zhang Chi went to the Mazu Temple, she would not have stayed at home. However, now she is more concerned about work. Because the chat records Zhang Chi sent her were so incredible to her. "Brother Chizi, about work..." "I'm not kidding you. You'll have the interview tomorrow. Try to dress appropriately. After all, this is a five-star hotel." Zhang Chi said frankly: "The internship period is about 6000 yuan, and you also need to take English speaking training, and you can only become a regular employee after passing it." Long Xiaoyan opened her mouth and asked in astonishment: "What kind of job can pay 6000 during the internship period?" Tang Yiyi responded excitedly: "Yanyan, Brother Chizi introduced me to the front desk job at the Shangri-La Hotel!" Long Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Chi in disbelief, frowned and said: "No, I remember that the front desk staff of star-rated hotels require at least a bachelor's degree. Yiyi and I both have junior college degrees, and she..." Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Special matters should be handled specially. I just happen to know someone like him." After saying that, Zhang Chi briefly introduced Manager Zhou's situation to Tang Yiyi and asked her to go over and hold on to this thigh tightly. Tang Yiyi excitedly agreed and seemed very satisfied with this new job. Seeing her so happy, Zhang Chi also breathed a sigh of relief. After finding an excuse to end the call. Zhang Chi looked at Long Xiaoyan curiously and asked puzzledly: "Why are you looking at me like that?" Long Xiaoyan pouted her lips, feeling extremely jealous of Tang Yiyi. That’s the front desk of the Shangri-La Hotel. The salary and benefits are at the standard for employees of foreign companies, which is many times better than what she gets in a small county company like this one. Moreover, the work is done in six shifts. Not only do you only have to work four hours a day, but you also get night shift pay if you work the night shift. I heard that there are even subsidies for buying cosmetics and skin care products. Long Xiaoyan was truly envious and jealous. "Brother Chizi, I..." when~ Just then, a chime sound was heard from the temple. Long Jingshan shouted to Zhang Chi, "Chizi, the door is open, come over and gather." Zhang Chi nodded when he heard this, and turned back to say, "Hurry up, let's gather." Long Xiaoyan opened her mouth and looked at Zhang Chi's departing back, her little face full of regret. soon. Several villages each occupied an area, waiting for the elders of each ancestral hall to call people to take turns to go in and throw the divination blocks. This custom is more common in the southeast coast, and some are called Bobei, some are called Bubei, and some are called Zhisui and Zhibei.
Only villagers who get the gods' approval for a card or the first prize by throwing divination blocks are eligible to stand in the front row during the sea opening ceremony. In previous years, the Zhang family had no chance because they had no money to buy a gold medal, so it was useless even if they won a good cup. This year, Zhang Chi asked for a tribute of 5 yuan, and the old village chief immediately arranged him to be the first. Behind the line. Seeing her daughter pouting with a lonely look on her face, Long Fengjiao scolded her angrily, "Who are you showing your droopy face to? If you don't want to come, don't come. If you come, please be sincere. I've told you so many times." Long Xiaoyan glanced at Zhang Chi who was standing in the first row and snorted, "Mom, you still have the nerve to scold me. If you hadn't quarreled with Aunt Ali during the New Year, I, I..." As she spoke, she felt aggrieved. Seeing this, Long Fengjiao asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Did that brat Zhang Chi say something to you?" She saw everything her daughter did when she went to chat with Zhang Chi just now. When Long Xiaoyan heard her mother talking about Zhang Chi, she felt even more uncomfortable. "Mom, can you please stop looking down on others? You know, Brother Chizi just introduced Yiyi to a job in the city. If you hadn't quarreled with Aunt Ali, maybe that job would have been mine." Long Fengjiao was stunned. "What kind of crappy job is this? And how did Yiyi know him?" "It's a crappy job. Find me a crappy job." Long Xiaoyan replied angrily, "Brother Chizi introduced me to a job at the Shangri-La Hotel. The internship salary is 6000 yuan, and there are also five insurances and one fund and many subsidies." Long Fengjiao's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Is this true? I get 6000 yuan for the internship period?" Long Xiaoyan took a look at her mother's ignorant expression and felt furious. At this time, Long Xiaoyan's father-in-law asked in confusion: "Why didn't he introduce so many jobs to you? After all, our family and theirs are relatives, and you have to call him auntie." Long Xiaoyan glared at her father, then looked at her mother who hadn't reacted yet, and snorted coldly: "You can only blame my mother. Why did you quarrel with Aunt Ali for no reason? It's all your fault. Otherwise, such a good job would be mine." Long Fengjiao frowned, feeling very uncomfortable listening to her precious daughter's complaints. Long Xiaoyan's father thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you talk to Jingshan? I think he has a good relationship with Chizi." Upon hearing this, Long Fengjiao looked up at Long Jingshan and Zhang Chi in the front row. According to seniority, Long Fengjiao is Long Jingshan's cousin, so Long Xiaoyan has to call Long Jingshan "uncle" when she sees him. However, Long Fengjiao had quarreled and fought with Long Jingshan's lover Zhang Xiaohua, and the relationship between the two families has never been very good. This is a bit embarrassing. Long Xiaoyan doesn't care about that. She hurriedly urged, "Yes, Mom, talk to Uncle and ask Brother Chizi to arrange for me to live in the city. You've always wanted me to marry someone from the city, so maybe I can find a good family in the city!" Heard this from my daughter. Long Fengjiao's eyes suddenly lit up. She herself had a bad marriage in her life, so she wanted her daughter not to repeat her mistake and at least marry a city guy.
If my daughter could marry someone in the city... But how can I start this? Long Fengjiao really couldn't bring herself to ask for help. the other side. Zhang Chi was brought into the Mazu Temple by an elder of the tribe. After transferring 5 yuan into the public account on the spot, several elders looked at him with kind and gentle eyes. "Your father is that kid Zhang Jianguo, right?" "Yes, Seventh Uncle." Zhang Chi looked at the old man in front of him, nodded respectfully, and then took out three soft balls from his bag and handed them over. The old man took it casually and said with a smile: "Good, good, someone from my Zhang family has made it big again." The elders from other clans also laughed and complimented him. Zhang Chi gave another soft middle number, and then they entered the stage of throwing the divination blocks. I don’t know if it was because he was too lucky, but Zhang Chi threw the divination blocks three times in a row and all of them were good, which is the Holy Grail as we all know it! Upon seeing this, the temple lady hurriedly called over several elders. When the seventh uncle of the Zhang family heard about this, he pulled Zhang Chi and said, "Chizi, throw the dice again. If you can throw 9 good dice in a row, you will be the leader of the Zhang family at the end of the year." Zhang Chi didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. Although being a leader costs a lot of money, it is a good reputation. "Seventh Uncle, is 1 enough for a Holy Grail?" When the Seventh Uncle heard this, he laughed and said, "That's enough, that's enough. You throw the dice first. Don't be impatient. You must be sincere to get the blessings of Mazu and the Dragon King." Zhang Chi nodded, and followed the temple woman's instructions, going through the process of kneeling and burning incense again. At the same time, many people outside heard that someone was going to win the Dragon Head Cup, and they all ran in to watch the fun. It was the first time for Zhang Chi to face such a big scene. The entire Mazu Temple was packed with people and everyone was staring at him. pat~ “Nice cup!” pat~ “Nice cup!” After eight good cups in a row, Zhang Chi felt his palms starting to sweat. The crowd watching had mixed emotions. Everyone knew what this meant. Some were envious, some were jealous, but most were just watching the show. pat~ “Nice cup!” As the ninth good cup appeared, the villagers of Xiasha Village instantly shouted excitedly. According to the legend and meaning passed down from generation to generation, this was the Dragon King raising his head in their village, blessing their village with good weather and good harvests in the coming year.
Although the old village chief was an intellectual, he couldn't help but get excited and his face turned red at this moment. He pulled Zhang Chi and started praising him. People from other villages felt a little uncomfortable. Because there is another saying, that is, all the good luck is sucked away by the village where the dragon head is located, so other villages will naturally be unlucky. Of course, there are not as many superstitious people now as before, and everyone just laughs it off with the attitude of watching the fun. Only a few elders and temple ladies looked at each other in bewilderment. Because only they knew that Zhang Chi actually did not get nine consecutive Holy Grails, but twelve in a row. "keep going!" "Yeah, keep throwing!" Some people who like to watch the fun shouted. Zhang Chi looked at the Zhang family’s seventh uncle, who shook his head slightly. Everything is excessive or insufficient. Although not many people believe in it, human hearts are always unpredictable. Sometimes it is not good to be too outstanding. Zhang Chi nodded slightly, picked up the wooden cup with both hands and handed it respectfully to the temple lady. Then, under the guidance of the temple lady, he went through some necessary procedures and finally walked out of the temple with an excited look on his face. Of course, for 12 consecutive holy grails, Zhang Chi paid another 12, and this time he paid even more generously than the previous 5. Zhang Chi could already imagine how excited his mom and dad would be when they found out he had won the lottery. When Long Jingshan saw that Zhang Chi paid another 12 yuan in one go, he couldn't help but be amazed. "Chizi, you?" "Uncle Jingshan, I actually got three Holy Grails in a row." Long Jingshan took a deep breath when he heard this. For some things, it is better to believe they exist than not to believe they exist. Long Jingshan believes in all of this. It is said that fate comes first, luck comes second, and feng shui comes third. Fate is innate and irreversible. But this person's luck is worth talking about. Zhang Chi got 12 Holy Grails in a row today, isn't that really good luck! The more Long Jingshan looked at his future son-in-law, the more he liked him. Just thinking about Chen Aihua's sarcastic words in the morning, Long Jingshan always felt a little uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
