Tan Xiaoyu was only thirty years old this year, not that old. It is indeed a pity that he passed away like this.
It was rare for these classmates to come here specifically to wait for his body to be transported back to express their condolences.
Chen Feng didn't expect this to happen, and he felt a little sad.
He also got cancer, but his luck was much better than that of Tan Xiaoyu, and he could even be said to have changed his fate against the odds.
Otherwise, he might have died earlier than Tan Xiaoyu.
This is that everyone has his own destiny. Chen Feng's situation is considered a miracle. But in this world, miracles are very rare.
Most people cannot recover from this disease, and they are lucky to be able to extend their life span by a few years.
Even after Chen Feng's condition miraculously began to improve, there is no guarantee that he will be fully recovered.
Therefore, Chen Feng now feels a bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and of course he will not refuse to go to express his condolences to Tan Xiaoyu.
Chen Feng went to open the door first and invited these classmates to come in and sit down. He asked them to sit down without being too particular. He then went to the kitchen behind to get a few cups, brought a hot water bottle over, and poured a glass of water for each of them. .
Then, he found a place to sit down and listened to these old classmates talking about some situations during Tan Xiaoyu's lifetime.
Before the disease was discovered, Tan Xiaoyu's life was relatively good. After graduating from junior high school, he first opened a fruit shop with his parents in other places, and the business was so-so. A few years later, when the family returned to his hometown, he first opened a fruit shop with his father. He went to work in a local factory, and later he partnered with others to make small commodities, that is, some daily necessities, and copied some gadgets that are useful in daily life, especially some plastic products, such as plastic drain baskets and soap dishes. Dental cups and the like.
Business is still good. If you catch it right and successfully copy one or two popular products, you can make a lot of money.
Therefore, he later bought a house in the county town with a down payment, and also found a relatively beautiful girlfriend, and they got engaged naturally after two or three years.
Originally, they planned to get married, but then they discovered the disease. At first, his fiancée was affectionate and stayed with him for more than half a year, but then she sold her house and car because of the medical treatment, so naturally she finally broke up with him.
Later, his condition worsened and he spent a lot of money. In the end, his family could no longer support it and had to raise funds from various sources.
Relying on kind-hearted people in society, local folks, relatives, friends and classmates, a lot of money was raised.
Unfortunately, in the end he was unable to extend his lifespan any longer and eventually passed away.
With this disease, except for a few miraculous cases, the difference is basically long or short. It is quite good to live two or three years longer.
Everyone sighed and sighed, and then talked about some interesting things about school back then. Time flew by very quickly.
Almost half an hour later, Chen Feng's parents also came back, and they were about to prepare dinner for his classmates, but they were rejected by his classmates.
Just at this time, Xie Xiaohua also received a call, saying that he was arriving soon. So everyone said goodbye, including Chen Feng, and everyone drove or took a car to rush to Tan Xiaoyu's home.
Yu Xiaohui did not drive there by herself, but chose to take Chen Feng's car.
In response to this, several junior high school classmates smiled at them somewhat ambiguously and said nothing more.
We are all adults, Chen Feng is divorced, and Yu Xiaohui's husband is dead. It's normal to be close to each other. Even if there is something really wrong between the two, others can't say anything.
Chen Feng did not deliberately avoid suspicion. After she said she wanted to ride in his car, Chen Feng agreed without any hesitation.
Anyway, when you go back to the city or county from Tan Xiaoyu's house, you have to pass through Qingpu Town. There is really no need to drive there one person and one car at a time.
"How is the matter at your jewelry store going?"
After getting into the car, Yu Xiaohui asked with concern.
"I just happened to have found a store today. It's at Baijia Plaza in Yuelou Town. It's about ten meters from the north gate. The location is pretty good."
"That's good. After Zhao Shengsheng's headquarters has reviewed them, you can officially recruit people. I can recommend a few store manager candidates for you to choose from, or you can recruit them yourself."
"Just choose from the people you recommend. I told you last time."
"Well, I will pick the one for you. However, a jewelry store is different from an ordinary store. You still need to supervise and supervise the store manager by necessary means, and you cannot let her have the opportunity to engage in corruption or theft. In this regard,
Just make sure you have an idea. It's best to choose someone you trust as a store manager. If I choose someone for you, I can't guarantee that they won't have problems."
Chen Feng explained: "I will hire professional accountants for financial supervision, and I will also hire an accounting firm for regular audits. In addition, my parents also help in the store. My mother will be the deputy store manager and my father will be the security captain."
Yu Xiaohui couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "You still let your parents work for you?"
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "One of the reasons why I opened a jewelry store is for them. You also know that it is difficult for our parents to have leisure time. My parents are like this. Now they still go to work every day, and my dad also works as a driver to deliver goods."
, How can it be easier for him to be a security guard than to move people around?"
Yu Xiaohui nodded and said, "That's true. You are really a filial son."
"I'm not really a filial son, but I'm capable and rich, so I can't let my parents suffer, right?"
"In order to make your parents relax, you spent so much money to open a jewelry store. Aren't you a filial son?"
"I'm not doing it all for my parents."
"Stop being modest." After Yu Xiaohui said this, she changed the topic and said, "I have nothing to do these two days, so why don't I accompany you to prepare the jewelry store. I am more familiar with this aspect than you."
Chen Feng was already a little worried about preparing the jewelry store, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and quickly agreed: "Okay, I'm not familiar with this area, it would be great to have your help."
Yu Xiaohui was very happy when she saw that Chen Feng didn't meet her. She smiled and said: "The preparation work for a jewelry store is very complicated. If you haven't done it before, you definitely don't understand anything. I have experience in this area, which will definitely save you trouble."
Quite a few.”
Of course it would be best to have Yu Xiaohui help me. Chen Feng immediately smiled and thanked him: "Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a big dinner tomorrow."
"Why are you so polite to me?" Yu Xiaohui looked at him charmingly.
The two of them smiled and said no more polite words.
After all, the two of them already have an actual relationship, so there really is no need to be too polite.
While they were talking, a group of them and several cars had already arrived in front of Tan Xiaoyu's house. Their house was only three or four kilometers away from the center of Qingpu Town. It was a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
At this time, many people had gathered in front of Tan Xiaoyu's house, and they all obviously knew about Tan Xiaoyu's death.
The classmates got off the bus and after waiting for a few minutes, the hearse carrying Tan Xiaoyu's body came over.
There were many people watching, including some of Tan Xiaoyu's relatives, friends, classmates, and people from the same village.
The hearse was parked on the side of the road, and the atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing. No one made any noise at this time, but just watched silently.
The ice coffin was carried out of the car by several relatives and friends and carried towards their house.
The people who were invited to do the white things had already begun to set up the funeral canopy.
After the ice coffin was parked in the house and plugged in again, everyone went in one after another to take a final look at Tan Xiaoyu's remains.
At this time, the atmosphere became lively.
Several of Chen Feng's junior high school classmates also went in to take a look, and then Xie Xiaohua, as the representative, comforted Tan Xiaoyu's parents a few words, and then everyone followed the money.
After a few people went out, they discussed it for a while, and everyone gave five hundred.
After all, funerals are not happy events, and Tan Xiaoyu died at such a young age, so of course everything should be kept simple.
In the past, they also said that the body should be kept at home for at least three or even seven days, but now it is no longer so particular. Some people only keep it for one day and take it to the funeral parlor for cremation the next day.
Especially since Tan Xiaoyu passed away at such a young age, there was no need to stay at home for too long.
What his family means is that he will be sent to the funeral parlor for cremation early tomorrow morning, and some of his relatives and friends will go with him.
Among the junior high school classmates, Xie Xiaohua had the best relationship with him and would follow him tomorrow morning. Several other classmates, including Chen Feng, did not have the same intention. Today, it was considered a blessing to make a special trip to see Tan Xiaoyu's remains and express condolences.
The friendship between classmates has been exhausted.
Xie Xiaohua will be our representative.
As for the funeral, it may not be until seven days later. If Chen Feng was still in his hometown at that time, he would come to see him off for the last time. If he was not there, of course he would not make a special trip back from Xiuzhou.
After all, he and Tan Xiaoyu were just ordinary classmates and did not have a deep friendship.
After staying at Tan Xiaoyu's house for almost half an hour, several classmates said goodbye and left together. Everyone got in their cars and went their separate ways. We will meet again when we have the opportunity. It is obviously not appropriate to talk about this at Tan Xiaoyu's house now.
On the way back to town, Yu Xiaohui's eyes were red and she was wiping her tears with a tissue. Just now, among a group of their junior high school classmates, she was the only one who was the most emotional and shed tears, which was quite appropriate for the occasion.
When Chen Feng saw that everyone was getting in the car and going back, Yu Xiaohui was still wiping her tears and couldn't help but ask: "Do you have a good relationship with Xiaoyu? In my impression, when you were in junior high school, your relationship with him seemed to be only average.
"
Yu Xiaohui wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue and said: "The main reason is that he was too young. Just like us, he passed away at the age of thirty. Don't you think it's a pity? In junior high school, he and Xie Xiaohua often made fun and fights in the class.
, they are the most lively couple in our class. Thinking about how he was so alive and kicking back then, and now he is a cold corpse, don’t you feel sad at all?”
Chen Feng told the truth: "It's definitely a bit sad to be sad, but it's not enough to cry. He and I are just ordinary classmates, and I can't cry for him even if I want to."
Yu Xiaohui shook her head and sighed: "You men are just hard-hearted and cruel."
Chen Feng didn't refute, just kept his head down and drove.
When they were about to arrive in the town, Yu Xiaohui said, "How about we go to the county town first, and you treat me to dinner. Starting tomorrow, I will help you prepare for the jewelry store."
Chen Feng turned his head slightly and glanced at her quickly. She was sad just now, but now she was seducing him again.
However, Chen Feng did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you there to pick up the car first."
Yu Xiaohui said quickly: "I don't want to drive, so I'll take your car. My car is parked in front of your house, should everything be okay?"
"What can happen? But you don't have a car, how can you come here tomorrow?"
"Idiot." Yu Xiaohui scolded, then asked, "Aren't you coming with me tonight?"
She made a special trip from the city to Qingpu Town today to express her condolences to Tan Xiaoyu, but also to meet her lover, Chen Feng.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Okay, you have the final say."
Although he rejected Cheng Yuhan's seduction this afternoon, he was still somewhat aroused. Now that Yu Xiaohui came to his door, he had no reason to refuse.
So, Chen Feng stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the county seat.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Feng and Yu Xiaohui each came out of the hotel bathroom wrapped in bath towels, and then lay together on the two-meter-wide bed, relaxing physically and mentally, watching TV and chatting about nothing.
.
Just then Qin Zhen called, and Chen Feng answered immediately.
"Chen Guoxiang was found, but he is already dead. It was one of Ma Laoliu's confidants who did it."
As soon as the call was connected, Qin Zhen directly and clearly explained the incident that shocked him.
"Why did Ma Laoliu's men want to kill him?"
Chen Feng was very confused.
Qin Zhen said in a normal tone: "Before Ma Laoliu was killed, Gao Xinfu had contact with Chen Guoxiang. Both of them had a grudge against Ma Laoliu. Chen Guoxiang should have known in advance that Gao Xinfu went to kill Ma Laoliu.
, and even the two of them conspired together. Ma Laoliu's subordinate found out this, regarded Chen Guoxiang as an accomplice, and killed him to avenge Ma Laoliu.
Chen Guoxiang was also unlucky. If the police had found him half an hour earlier, he might not have died. But unfortunately, when they found him, he was already dead and was almost moved to a fishing boat and sank at sea."
"Oh, it's a pity. Although he is very annoying, he won't die. It's too unexpected."
Chen Feng really didn't want him to die.
Qin Zhen discussed the matter and said: "Although a person like him died unjustly, he asked for it himself. Don't forget that he encouraged Gao Xinfu to kidnap you, and even asked him to kill you."
"Well, he's already dead, there's no point in saying anything else."
"Well, let's just say that first."
After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he simply hung up the phone.
"What did you just say? Ma Laoliu, isn't he dead? What does it have to do with you?"
Yu Xiaohui on the side asked curiously.
Chen Feng briefly told her. After hearing this, she was shocked and didn't recover for a while.
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Reality is often more bizarre and absurd than fiction. Chen Guoxiang wanted to plot against me, but in the end he was plotted against me. Who can blame him? As the saying goes, the agency was too clever in calculating and misled Qing Qing.
life."
Just as Yu Xiaohui was about to speak, her cell phone rang. When she saw the phone number, it was her mother-in-law calling, and she quickly made a silent gesture towards Chen Feng.
After she was connected, she chatted with her mother-in-law for a long time. Her mother-in-law wanted her to go back early and take care of the children together. Yu Xiaohui said that her classmate passed away today and he would stay here for two more days.
Her mother-in-law had no choice but to end the call.
