Xue Ling didn't slept for too long, and after more than half an hour, she got up to help.
There was no business in the store in the afternoon. Cheng Tianyuan went out to pick up the goods, while she and Cheng Muhai cleaned the store and outside the store.
Cheng Muhai is very hygienic and goes to the warehouse behind to clean it.
Cheng Tianyuan didn't go there for too long, so he brought a few boxes of beer and cigarettes, and some daily necessities back, and moved them into the warehouse one after another.
Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "Does the kitchen need to buy vegetables? Do you have to eat dinner?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied with a smile: "When I came just now, I bought some mutton and bones, so I'll arrange dinner."
"Okay! Then go and do your business!" Cheng Muhai looked at the dark sky and explained: "The weather is very cold. Have dinner earlier. If there is no business, you and Lingling go back and rest earlier to help take care of the little one.
Ranran.”
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly took the mutton to the kitchen.
At this time, Ah Hu drove the third car, his tough face was red from the cold, and his eyes seemed to be red.
Cheng Muhai saw it and hurriedly walked down.
"Huzi, why are you here? Are you cold? Lingling, hurry up and pour a cup of hot water in the kitchen and let him drink some warmth."
"Thank you uncle..." Ah Hu's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was crying.
Cheng Muhai narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Hu Zi, what's wrong?"
Ahu had red eyes and choked: "My aunt... is gone. I'll come over to discuss things with Ayuan. The hospital is in chaos now, and several sisters and my mother are crying. My uncle sat still.
Amin also lost his soul. Now I have to hurry up and do funerals for my aunt. Everyone can’t just worry about being sad, there are still many things to be done with!”
Cheng Muhai was stunned when he heard this.
Xue Ling just brought the water out and felt very uncomfortable for a moment.
"What's going on? Didn't you wake up in the morning? Why did you say that you're gone after only one afternoon?"
Ah Hu took a deep breath and whispered: "My aunt's heart was not good, so she didn't beat much in the afternoon, and then... she stopped moving. The doctors rescued her for a long time, but unfortunately she couldn't rescue her. She died in the hospital like this...
…No one can accept it… My mother was so crying.”
Xue Ling also had red eyes and handed him the water cup.
"You have some drinks first, sit down and take a break. I'll go find Brother Yuan to come over, you can wait."
Her head was a little confused, and she couldn't help but sigh at the fragility and powerlessness of life again.
Ah Hu took it and sat down, choking: "Thank you sister-in-law... I plan to discuss with Ah Yuan whether I can divide the store into pieces in advance and allocate two thousand yuan so that Ah Min and I can give my aunt's funeral to the glory first.
Do it."
Xue Ling nodded and said, "It should be fine, you can wait."
Then, she turned around and hurried to the kitchen to find Cheng Tianyuan.
After hearing this, Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly walked out, met Ahu's red eyes, and let out a long sigh.
"...Don't be too sad. Amin will definitely not be able to stand it now. You are the backbone, and you can't stand it too. You drink the water first, and I'll go to the bank to pay money and send it to you later."
Ah Hu nodded and whispered: "I've found a car, so I have to get my aunt's body out of the hospital first. Do you know Chen Min's family? There is a concentrated place for funerals in the neighborhood committee here, and his house is walking inside.
After seeing a small ancestral hall for dozens of meters, we have to get the body over first, and we will be there later."
Cheng Tianyuan remembered it and said, "You go and do your business first, I'll go there to help later."
Ahu looked at Cheng Muhai and Xue Ling and apologized: "In the next few days, I will have to bother my sister-in-law and uncle to help me look at the store. Amin and I can't come."
"Don't worry!" Xue Ling comforted: "We are here."
Cheng Muhai sucked the cigarette and sighed: "Everyone is mourning and following changes, and people cannot be resurrected when they die. We who are alive must live a good life."
"That's the reason." Ah Hu stood up, handed the cup back to Xue Ling, and hurriedly rode the tricycle away.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Wife, you and dad are looking at the store and the kitchen have to look at the fire. It's not yet five o'clock and the bank hasn't started working yet. I'll hurry over and withdraw some money and send it to you."
"Go quickly! Be careful when driving on the road, don't be anxious." Xue Ling reminded.
"Hey!" Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly drove away.
Then, Xue Ling and her father-in-law looked at the store.
The nightfall in winter is coming soon, and it is completely dark just after five:30.
As it gets dark, the north wind is howling, and the sky is getting colder.
The weather was too cold, and the workers didn't come out after get off work. After dinner in the canteen, they hid in the dormitory to rest.
Except for a few people buying some daily necessities, the store quickly became deserted.
Xue Ling closed the back door, closed the windows, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Cheng Muhai discussed: "Ling, the weather is too cold. Let's close the store and go to the kitchen to have a meal!"
"Okay, there are no customers anyway, so I'll close the door earlier tonight." Xue Ling looked at the dark sky and guessed: "The weather forecast says there may be heavy snow tonight."
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but sigh: "It's helpless to encounter such a bad weather when doing funerals!"
Xue Ling cooked the rice and brought the whole pot of mutton stewed vegetables to the table.
"Dad, let's just eat it like this! It won't be easy to get cold when you eat it like this. There are vegetables, meat and soup."
Cheng Muhai smiled softly and said, "If this were twenty years ago, it would be considered a top-notch treat!"
After being with them for a long time, Xue Ling also understood that this was a small dialect here. A good meal means a good meal.
"Okay, let's have a good meal!" Xue Ling served him the rice, and then ate around the dining table.
At this time, the sound of cars sounded outside.
Xue Ling suddenly realized that it was his own jeep, so he quickly put the dishes and chopsticks down.
"It should be Brother Yuan who is back!"
Cheng Muhai said: "I'll ask him to have a piece of food, he must have not eaten yet."
Xue Ling hurried to meet him, and saw his eyebrows slightly frowning and his nose was slightly red.
"Have you eaten? Come in and have some warm warmth first."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and followed her into the kitchen.
She spooned a bowl of hot soup and handed it to him.
Cheng Tianyuan took a few sips, licked the corners of his lips, and explained in a low voice: "I withdrew 3,000 yuan from the bank and sent it to them together. Chen Min was so sad that he looked distraught, and the three Chen Lan sisters were also crying miserably. Fortunately, Ah Hu
He was busy and could hold on to the scene. Now Chen Min's relatives have also gone through some of them and are busy cleaning up the funeral."
Xue Ling couldn't help asking, "At least you have to be busy for a week, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "My aunt is not old and Amin has not gotten married. According to the tradition here, she will have to be a funeral the day after tomorrow. The family members will probably have to be busy for a few days, which is what they should do."
"Eat!" Cheng Muhai knocked on the bowl and sighed and said in a low voice: "You are still young and don't have much contact with things like this. When you reach my age, you will be mentally prepared. The people around you are getting older.
Death. There is an old saying in the book that is right, birth, old age, sickness and death are also commonplace."
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan looked at each other and ate silently.
After dinner, Cheng Tianyuan cleaned the kitchen, then checked the doors and windows, and took Xue Ling home.
On the way, Xue Ling asked: "It's the end of the year, you should have a bottom line on the general ledger of the store, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I have a summary of the monthly accounts and know what I know. It's only the last month. I will close the store at the end of the year for 25 or 26, and then check it out. How much money the store earns now and how much goods are repaid?
