我十年前在一家小上班,整个公司只有六个人。
那一年生意很好,新招来两个毕业生做帮手。
老板大概对前途开始更加有信心,对我们好了许多,一帮人经常出去吃夜宵、唱卡拉oK,中秋节那天还请我们全体同事去他家吃饭。
老板四十多岁,是个客家人,祖孙三代住在一起。
他的父亲已经去世了,只有一个将近七十岁的母亲。
他母亲头发花白,但是精力还很充沛,做的菜非常好吃。
那天老板拿出了自酿的客家米酒,大家都是年轻人,一喝起来就停不下来了。
我的年纪在人群中算是比较大的,所以相对而言,性格比较沉稳。
大家光顾着喝酒,把老母亲冷落在一边,我感到过意不去,就和她聊起家常来。
老母亲的普通话不是很好,我要使劲才能听懂。
看着年轻人都快喝醉了,我皱了皱眉头。
新来的两个大学生里面,一个叫阿华,一个叫阿德。
我原以为他们会很快就倒下的,没想到那个阿华酒量惊人,阿德已经摇摇欲坠了,他还面不改色,无动于衷。
我注意到老母亲一直很注意阿华的言行,眼睛里透着一丝警惕。
过了一会儿,她悄悄把我拉到一边,压低声音指着阿华小声地对我说:“年轻人,你要小心他,他不是人!”
我大吃一惊,不解地看着她。
老母亲在我耳边说:“我老伴当年是看风水的,家里留存着一块照妖镜,就挂在门口。
我注意他很久了,刚才他从厕所出来,对着擦脸。
”
我疑惑地问:“那又怎么啦?”
老母亲说:“你不知道,照妖镜只能照妖,照不出人。
普通镜只能照人,照不出妖。
”
我半信半疑,借着上厕所的名义,从那块镜子面前晃过,镜子里果然空荡荡的,什么影像也没有。
那天过后不久我就离开了那个公司,去到著名的山木培训做了一名管理人员。
后来我给那些同事打电话,想约他们出来喝酒,但是他们的电话全部都停机了。
Introduce:In one wife and children the company goes to work I am 10 years ago, whole company has 6 people only.
