In the early morning, there were already people with shovels standing on the graves that had been dug long ago.
A bit of cold wind blew in, causing their hands to turn a little red, and a trace of redness touched their cheeks.
The pit had been dug a long time ago. I came here this morning to prepare for the burial and to pat the soil on both sides of the pit to make it more solid.
Looking at the potholes that had formed in front of them, their expressions gradually improved.
"ha!"
He breathed into his hand, but before he had time to warm it up, it was blown away by the wind.
Xu Gu grabbed the shovel with both hands and looked at the pothole with complex eyes:
"It's done, that's it! How many hard-working brothers are there!"
"good!"
Outside the pit, several men holding shovels nodded.
They are the same age group as Xu Gu, and they will always be there if anything happens, helping each other and taking care of each other.
This time Xu Gu's father left, so naturally these people came to help.
As the material conditions of each family improve, there are very few such hands-on burials. Many people are buried directly in the cemetery, and relevant staff are directly there to help. All they have to do is pay for the whole process. More people
, all seem to like cremation.
Mr. Xu Bai chose a tomb like this, and it was in a wilderness, so naturally he had to dig it with his own hands.
After sizing up the pothole in front of them, they each came back to their senses and looked around to see if there was anything left here, ready to take it all away.
"Okay, Xu Gu, go back!"
Xu Gu, who had been standing outside the grave pit, looking at the pit in a daze, was called back to his thoughts by the people around him.
After following them, I packed up shovels and other items and drove back.
While on the road, everyone was talking and laughing, and there were no serious topics.
Xu Gu was also led and did not think deeply about it. After such a sad thing happened, everyone would usually think of other things to help the family members come out, so as not to be too sad. Looking at everyone's lively atmosphere,
Xu Gu did not remain silent in grief.
Chatting and laughing with everyone together.
When he looked at his father's grave today, he always felt a little numb, as if he were looking at someone else's burial ground indifferently. He hated himself like this.
But it's true, that's what's going on in my mind.
The vehicle safely returned to the mourning hall, and after a few more rituals, it was time to prepare for raising the spirit and transporting the coffin to the cemetery for burial.
Uncle Quan and Xiao Ding had been waiting here early, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
This kind of thing doesn't stop halfway through. It's tradition to start and end, so they can't miss any link.
Seeing the two people waiting at the scene, Xu Gu cast a grateful look.
This time, thanks to the two of us, there was less trouble.
There are many things that I don’t understand, but Uncle Quan can help me with them, so it’s not too troublesome.
"Uncle Quan, Brother Ding, you are here!"
Xu Gu quickly handed over the cigarette stuffed in his pocket to the two of them.
"Well, isn't this going to the field today? Everything is ready. We can't be absent, can we?"
Uncle Quan took the cigarette naturally and said in a hoarse voice.
Xiao Ding on the side shook his head and said he didn't smoke.
Xu Gu nodded and smiled warmly:
"Thank you!"
He put down the cigarette in his hand again and did not smoke himself. He only smoked it for the friends who came to pay homage.
The work of smoking and drinking must not be stopped here, and a cook was hired to feed the suona team and the people who helped with the work.
These are unwritten rules, but they are indispensable.
Without one, the sense of ceremony will be insufficient, and it will also discourage those who come to help.
It looks like the scene is almost ready.
The suona team played another song before lifting the coffin and heading to the cemetery where they were buried.
There were only clothes inside the coffin, so it was very light.
Uncle Quan and Xiao Ding followed the crowd and followed the coffin-carrying team.
The Suona team leads the way.
As soon as the suona sounded, thousands of taels of gold and countless tears fell to the ground.
More and more people followed, and they knew that everyone who was supposed to be buried would come.
Uncle Quan came here not only for his own work, but also for Su Chen's high salary.
It is also to sincerely pay homage to Mr. Xu Bai.
Xu Bai, who is not older than himself, but has experienced more things than himself, and his encounters are touching, deserves a trip by himself.
Being able to help out is considered a blessing.
Normally, there would be such good people in the village.
Everyone is rushing to help, for fear of being late for others. It is a blessing for everyone to be able to bury such a person. After all, someone has done good things during his lifetime, and people are willing to help from the bottom of his heart, let alone
Because of superstition, I am more willing to help Yi Er.
It's hard to be a good person in this world.
People, it's more difficult to do.
Seeing the coffin-carrying team in front of him getting more and more steady, Uncle Quan felt that the corners of his eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't see clearly what was ahead.
At this time, Xiao Ding approached from the side.
Holding his arm with one hand, he walked like this without saying a word.
Uncle Quan was helped by him and he came back to his senses slightly.
I just remembered that when Su Chen's father was buried, those old guys were still there at that time, and Wei Lingze had not yet become rich. Everyone buried Mr. Su with his own hands with a heavy sigh. In those days, Mr. Su also buried him with his own hands.
He is a really good person, so at the same time, he is the poorest person who touches dead people's business.
Without him, all the money is given to the big guys.
distributed to the village.
Basically everyone has enjoyed some benefits, all thanks to Boss Su. He was willing to work and lead everyone to make money, and he also did not forget to support the village. Such a good man was also sent away by Batai Suona when he was buried.
.
The scene was countless times bigger than this.
After all, I came into contact with this business. It would be shameful if I left with less honor!
Those old guys were not stingy at that time. Lao Wei, who usually paid a lot of money, raised money together to pay for the funeral and sent Mr. Su away in a glorious manner. At that time, everyone was serious about it.
Friendship is not so fancy.
Now, all the brothers are walking around and getting rich.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I don’t know when we will meet again, let alone the friendship we had in the past.
We can't even see each other in person, so it's a bit ridiculous to mention these friendships.
Some time ago, I heard that Wei Lingze had become the boss, but he had faded away and everyone stopped interacting with him.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t touched this job for a long time. Now that I see the coffin being carried by everyone in front of me, some complicated memories inevitably come to my mind. I can’t stop it. The suona music in my ears is like a bug.
It's the same as drilling into a person's ear. After it gets in, it will stab you in the heart.
Who can't hold back tears?
For a time, many women were supporting each other, crying and fussing.
Most of them are direct blood relatives who can cry so clearly and miserably.
My grandpa howled once or twice, and there were tears, but I couldn't cry.
Looking at the coffin, they felt sad and admired Xu Bai.
He just left like this, and there was nothing anyone could do to save him.
There were also people at the cemetery who responded in advance, and the paper fires that had been prepared long ago were all going to be burned here.
There were also some old clothes that were burned together according to their traditional rules.
So, the coffin was settled and the earth crown was covered.
When a new grave is first opened, paper and clothes are burned, and wine is spread on the ground.
The whole process was accompanied by sadness and joy, and relatives shed tears.
Maybe it's rhythmic. When I burn paper and kowtow, the suona really blows into my heart.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
Xu Gu, who had been in a strong state throughout the day, could no longer control his emotions the moment the suona sounded.
He suddenly wanted to rush forward and rush to the grave.
He wanted to dig out the coffin again. Perhaps it was at this time that he realized that his father was really gone.
People around him were frantically trying to stop him, and he cried miserably, crying and fussing loudly like a child.
No one blamed him, only their own tears flowed along with him.
Probably she shed tears because of the feelings between Xu Bai and his son.
Or maybe it reminds me of the story of Mr. Xu Bai, who was kind to others in the past.
Or maybe it's some of your relatives who have passed away.
The adult world is never short of tears and stories.
If you hold it back for a while, it will still explode in the next period of time.
The weather is very cold today, and the cold wind carries the smell of late autumn.
Tears were swept by the wind, passing around people, falling in front of the graves and on the surrounding wasteland.
Rest in peace.
Although the whole process was sad, it was completed smoothly. Everyone who came came to pay their respects wholeheartedly, without any hypocrisy.
After watching the entire funeral, the ashes were placed in the cemetery over there.
When Uncle Quan and Xiao Ding were about to leave, they found that it was already afternoon.
Xu Gu gave money to the Suona team, but the other party said they didn't want anything and could only send them away for a few miles, which made Xu Gu come back crying again.
I also need to give money to Uncle Quan and Xiao Ding.
If it had been in the past, when I was still working with Mr. Su, I would definitely have received the money. After all, these are the rules.
But now, I work with Xiao Su and get a high salary.
You can't take this money for anything, and the clients Xiao Su chooses are all good people. They are lucky enough to be able to bury such people, so how can they collect money?
They exchanged pleasantries for a while, but in the face of Uncle Quan and Xiao Ding's firmness, Xu Gu could only awkwardly take back the red envelope and still have to send the two off on foot.
It's a pity that Uncle Quan didn't give him a chance.
After going out and getting in the car, the two of them left in a hurry.
Xu Gu looked at the car they were leaving and could only bow slightly with emotion.
Next to him stood his well-educated wife Xiaoya.
"There are still many good people in this world!"
A warm smile appeared on Xu Gu's face and he said.
Xiaoya beside her nodded:
"The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. When you treat the people around you how you treat them, they will naturally respond to you in the same way."
"Well, let's go home!"
Xu Gu nodded happily, supported Xiaoya, and turned around to go back.
.......
After Mr. Xu Bai's matter came to an end, Uncle Quan and Xiao Ding contacted Su Chen immediately.
After telling the other party that the matter here is over.
I heard that I got another job.
Just received it.
in the car,
"Then when do we leave? Are we going to dispose of the body?"
Uncle Quan used his elderly mobile phone to talk to Su Chen.
The lowest volume of the elderly mobile phone is enough to withstand the roar of the vehicle, and Xiaoding, who is in the driver's seat, can hear it clearly.
I heard a sentence coming from the other side:
"The ashes have been processed. Wait for the call here. We are going to arrange a traditional burial!"
It's Su Chen's voice.
When Uncle Quan heard about ashes, he thought they were the kind found in cemeteries.
However, I didn’t expect it to be another traditional burial method.
"I will still contact the Suona team this time. You just need to do your job well. I took on two jobs in a row. Thank you for your hard work!"
Su Chen's voice continued to come from the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Uncle Quan shook his head:
"What are you talking about? Your uncle has never received such a high salary in his life. You just want me to move bricks every day, and I'm more than willing to do it!"
Then he asked again:
"Is that accurate? Ashes, traditional burial?"
"Well, for traditional burial, the remains were not transported from the battlefield and came back with a batch of ashes. The burial place is right in my hometown. I don't want to enter the cemetery or cemetery."
Su Chen continued.
The words were calm, but they fell heavily on the two people in the car.
Xiao Ding's hands trembled unconsciously.
battlefield?
cemetery?
These two words are not something that ordinary people can control and deserve.
Uncle Quan's face was startled, and his voice became calmer:
"You mean, this client is a battlefield veteran?"
"Well, the country has been looking for their remains a long time ago. It is not easy to find the information clearly about the remains, so the family members decided to have the cremated ashes buried on the land of their hometown! They are all
Hero, it’s time to go home!”
Su Chen said with the same calm voice.
The phone is here.
Uncle Quan nodded fiercely, his voice a little hoarse:
"Don't worry, everything on this order belongs to us. Just take the hero home and leave it to us so that the family can rest assured!"
"Don't talk about living continuously, even if you let me, an old man, go without sleep for several days, it will be fine!"
There was a bit of excitement in the hoarse voice.
While Xiao Ding was surprised, he also felt a little more solemn about this business.
I have full respect for the customers I am about to take over.
However, Uncle Quan's reaction made him even more surprised.
It seems that when he heard that he was a hero, Uncle Quan's reaction was a little excited, and his words were spoken from the bottom of his heart, without any lies.
Perhaps also surprised by Uncle Quan's excitement, Su Chen was silent for a moment before continuing:
"Thank you for your hard work. I've contacted you here and I may be leaving at any time!"
"Okay, I'll leave at any time when you notify me! There won't be any delay!"
Uncle Quan said in a hoarse voice, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
After simply listening to Su Chen's instructions, he hung up the phone.
Uncle Quan looked at the phone with complicated eyes and murmured:
"Take the hero home!"
"It's time to go home!"
On the side, Xiao Ding heard this and nodded slightly.
The clients I receive one after another are all so admirable.
Thinking back on the customers I met before, it seems that they are completely different from the customers I meet now.
Maybe, I chose the right person to follow this time?
