Li Hao's father died in the hospital. He did not go to the morgue and took him home directly. Because we have a custom here, the body must be kept at home for three days before the funeral, and his children and loved ones must keep vigil for him.
During these three days, some funeral music groups will also be invited to play trumpets for three consecutive days and hold a banquet to entertain the guests.
"I don't know what happened to Lao Li's family! One thing happens after another!" The old man standing at the door watching the excitement looked at the brightly lit yard with his hands behind his back and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
It was already evening, and people were rushing back and forth at the door. Neighbors on the left and right also came after hearing the letter. I took a few people, took two taxis, and rushed to the door, and then ran into the yard in a hurry.
The body of Li Hao's father is placed in the corridor of his home. Under the body is a bed made of wooden boards and a swivel head, covered with the bedding he used when he was alive. His face is pale, his lips are purple, his eyes are slightly closed, and he looks quite peaceful. Maybe this
The old man who has been fighting against the disease does not have so much reluctance and fear of death.
Because he died of cancer, many relatives and friends did not dare to enter the house, probably for fear of contracting the disease. We, a few strong young men, did not care about these things and entered the house to find Li Hao's mother. At this time, she had changed her clothes
The man in black is quietly packing Uncle Li's old clothes in the room, which are the Tang clothes often worn by dead people.
"Auntie!" I was silent for a moment and called Li Hao's mother softly.
She turned her head, with white flowers on her head, nodded lightly and said, "Here we come!"
When I looked at her, I felt that she was not as sad as I thought, and seemed very calm.
Sometimes people are like this. When you are in the process of fearing and fearing something, you may be thinking about it every day. You can't eat or sleep. As a human being, you can feel it.
to your anxiety and restlessness.
But when the so-called "doomsday" of life attacks your life without warning, you will suddenly find that the things you have been afraid of are not as terrible as you imagined.
The worst outcome has been foreseen in the process. If it actually happens, you will be relieved if you feel relieved.
"Auntie, let me help you!" I didn't know how to persuade her, so I could only express my thoughts.
"Then I'll trouble you!" Li Hao's mother did not refuse, because she knew that what I did today will be clear to Li Hao when he comes out.
After a few words with Li Hao's mother, I went out to discuss with Laoxian, Shuishui, Menmen and others.
"Li Hao is not at home and my father is gone. What do you think we should do?" I asked standing in the corner.
"What do you mean, just say it!" Shuishui lowered his head and replied.
"Help me organize things!" I said, looking at everyone.
"A little for each person?" Menmen tentatively replied.
"That's not what I meant. How do you earn your money? I've seen it too. If you contribute, I'll take the money! If it's not enough, each of you can make up for it!" I was silent for a moment and breathed heavily.
"You haven't repaid the hunger yet!!" Menmen reminded.
"This money was originally a windfall. If you really don't have any money, forget it. Since you have it and it's caught up, I can't look at it. Ninghai's money and Fa Ge's money will definitely be given to me by the end of the year. You don't have to.
Never mind!" I said slowly.
Everyone was silent for a while.
"Nan, is it worth it just for a phone call?" Lao Xian asked with unprecedented seriousness.
"Brothers, what I did today was thinking that if I, Xiangnan, encounter difficulties one day, and Lao Xiang is in trouble, there will be someone who can help me like I helped Li Hao!" I turned my head,
Said in a calm voice.
Everyone was stunned and looked up at me, as if thinking that each of them was actually walking the same path as Li Hao. They all had parents and might encounter obstacles.
"Let each of you pay for it!" the old immortal suggested.
"How much does it cost?" Li Shuishui asked calmly.
"Three thousand, okay?"
"Okay!" Li Shuishui was the first to take out three thousand yuan without thinking. He was calm because he had no money, but if he only paid three thousand yuan, he could afford it. Since he could afford it, there was no need to ink.
Five people gathered together fifteen thousand in an instant, plus the thirty thousand that I had not warmed in my hand, and the remaining eighteen thousand, the total was sixty-three thousand.
Everyone has their own division of labor. Lao Xian, Hu Yuanyuan, and Zhang Ben contacted Mr. Yin Yang and the funeral team because they had to blow the trumpets tonight, while Menmen and Shuishui were responsible for getting the coffin and helping Aunt Li at home.
Be busy.
After I collected all the money, I originally thought about calling Fatty Dai and asking him to help contact him about the cemetery, but after thinking about it carefully, this was a bit inappropriate. I don’t have money to find Fatty Dai, and I have problems in love.
Looking for Fatty Dai, why bother buying a cemetery now? Why?! Can someone bully him unscrupulously because he is fat?
So, after much deliberation, I contacted Ning Hai.
"Brother Hai, Li Hao's father is dead!" I said.
"What do you mean? Taking money again?" Ning Hai asked a little scared.
"No, I want you to do me two favors!"
"Then tell me!"
"Borrow me a car, a van will do. After that, contact me to see if there is anyone who sells cemeteries. The price is 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. The location is better. It is best to have a CBD in a cemetery, where there are mountains and water.
From the garden!" I said quickly.
"Car, you can pick it up at the Beer Plaza in an hour. I'll help you ask about the cemetery. It seems that there really is one. I contacted my ex-wife when her father died!" Ning Hai agreed immediately.
"It's done!"
With that said, we hung up the phone
"Beep bell bell!!"
When I was rushing to the beer square, An An's phone call came.
"Zha Zhannan! You're back, why didn't you call me!" An An gave me a nickname very consciously.
"I'm not busy!" I replied with a sideways glance.
"You're busy, pick me up from get off work later!"
"What are you doing? Are you smashing it again? Can you rest for two days?" I asked.
"Go away, just eat and do nothing else on a date!"
"Uh, I really can't make a date with Li Hao's father today!" The car stopped near the beer square and I replied, paying for the car.
"Oh, that's it!" An An was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "What can I do for you?"
"Don't ask me for sex at this time, it's just a favor!" I said anxiously.
"Okay, then get busy!"
"Well, be nice, little baby!"
"Call me, okay!"
After chatting with An An for a while, I arrived at the beer plaza. Ninghai's work was fast and resolute. The car had been arranged. It was not a van, but a Tiida hatchback. The car looked quite new.
"The cemetery sellers are all off work. I have a phone number here. You can call me when they go to work tomorrow!" Ning Hai handed me the car keys and business card.
"Thanks!"
"Li Hao and I also know each other. I will go there on the day of the funeral!" Ning Hai said again.
I was stunned for a moment, nodded and said okay, and then drove away.
I went to a parlor shop that made paper people and horses, but unfortunately it was closed. I knocked on the door for two or three minutes, and an old man came out.
"What are you doing?! Someone is dead? Knock!" the old man cursed while wearing his coat.
"Don't you talk nonsense? I'm here to buy an inflatable doll! Open the door quickly and don't leave any ink marks!" I urged.
"It's off work, you didn't see it!"
"Snapped!"
I took out my military thorn, banged it twice on the door lock, and asked expressionlessly: "Sir, can you make an exception for the underworld?"
Ten minutes later, I stood in the wedding shop and asked: "Paper horses, do you have boys and girls in stock?"
"Aren't you a member of the underworld? If you say there should be one, then there must be one!"
"Don't choke me with your words! I want the tallest and largest paper horse, one for boys and girls, a few Yuanbaoshan, ten wreaths, Arhat quilt, and spiritual flag. Give me the best one!"
I drank mineral water and said with sweat all over my head.
"Your car can't carry so much, so leave the address and I'll deliver it to you tomorrow!" the old man said.
"How can it be tomorrow? Can't it be today?" I asked sideways.
"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you in a minute!"
"Hurry up!"
"Pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan, and any excess will be refunded!"
"okay!"
I unwrapped 10,000 yuan in cash, kept 3,000 yuan, and then left.
"Ordering such a set meal will kill a lot of people at home!" The old man looked at my back and cursed rudely.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Lao Xian first assembled a funeral music troupe from the surrounding countryside. We wore white gloves, connected the wires from the house, and started to help the funeral music team build the carriers.
Don't underestimate these little old men in their forties or fifties who only know how to play the trumpet and drum. These people earn a lot of money every day, and they might even become famous stars in the Northeast.
After the stage was set up, it was already too late, and the funeral music would definitely not be played. This group of people was very easy to arrange, and they didn't mind the dead people in the house, so I arranged them directly in Li Hao's room.
The coffin should be difficult to get, but it can't be realized today, so Uncle Li's body still needs to be kept in the house. The people who should be dispersed have all dispersed, and the person who needs to stay at night to keep a lookout for the spirit, but Li Hao is not at home.
Who can do it?
Obviously, we had to do it. Before 2 o'clock, Lao Xian, Shui Shui Shou and I, and in the middle of the night, Zhang Ben, Hu Yuanyuan and others changed doors.
"Crack!"
In the brazier burning paper money, blue and yellow flames were beating. Lao Xian and I sat opposite each other, and Li Shuishui threw stacks of 100 million banknotes into the basin.
"Uncle Li, if you are really spiritual, you should take good care of your son, and he will get better and better. Help me pay back the money. Life has been miserable for decades. Just leave. Don't let go of anything. Since you can't be a rich man in life, then die.
Well, my eldest nephew will give you an official position with the Lord of Hell and go all the way!" I took the fire stick, poked the unburned paper money in the basin, and said nagging.
“If you have money, spend it!!!”
The old fairy stood at the door holding the half-burned paper money, waving his arms, and raised it into the dark sky. The ashes were floating, and he also wrote the end of an ordinary person's ordinary life.
