When the woman helped Grandma Wang Yue and wiped her tears together, the bald man took a brown paper envelope from the side and respectfully sent it to the old lady: "Old man, the comrades will help with the cooking later, there is a little cost here, and it is a little bit of the unit's heart." ”

"Thank you, Secretary Ma, thank you unit leaders, I thank you on behalf of my mother and nephew......" The woman accepted the envelope and immediately thanked her, and for a while the men who came into the room were very silent.

"What time is it?" The guy who stopped Qian Hong from opening the window couldn't help it, so he asked in a low voice.

"Mrs. Mu said that it would be eight o'clock, and I would be soon. The woman replied with tears in her voice.

"Then let's wait in the yard, aunt, you must take care of your body, Secretary Ma, there are many of us, let's wait in the yard!" Qian Hong understood, this guy is a pawn who slips around and shoots horses, but it is undeniable that with such a person by his side, he can often play a big role in front of and behind the saddle.

"The old man's festival is changing, we will go out first, if there are any difficulties in life, you can raise it with the unit, and the leader will study it as appropriate. After the symbolic speaking, the group walked out behind Secretary Ma.

Seeing that the other party was walking away, Qian Hong opened the window again, and when the wind outside blew in, blowing away the smoke emitted by the burning paper, Qian Hong heard the conversation between Wang Yue's grandmother and Wang Yue's aunt again.

Wang Yue's aunt took out a stack of ten-yuan bills from the envelope, and her face was full of incredulous expressions: "Even the funeral expenses of railway workers don't have these, right? Could it be that my colleagues in my brother's unit are all saluting?"

“...... No, that's not right, big girl. On the contrary, Grandma Wang Yue's face changed.

"What's wrong?"

"At the beginning, the small station was to take care of our family, Zidong was sick and on leave, 50% of the expenses every month, and then asked me to go to the small station to clean up, but now Zidong is gone, and this unit gives so much money, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't do this job. ”

"That's not good, I'll go to Chairman Ma now. ”

"Come back. ”

"Mom, my eldest brother died early, you don't know what the situation is in my family, you have to add to the bottom of the bowl, if you lose this job again, then, what should Xiaoyue do?"

"I can't say anything big today, Zidong is gone, do you still want him to go uneasy? I have the final say on everything, and after today, I will go to the unit to ask a good question, discuss with the leader, and maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

“...... Hey!" Wang Yue's aunt sighed, and her whole body was stiff, holding the stack of money but not giving her the slightest sense of security.

Glancing at Wang Yue, who was kneeling quietly in front of the clay basin, Qian Hong was also quite speechless when he heard this, the iron rice bowl of the state-owned unit is not so good, how many people have to fight for a job, ordinary people want to have this identity, either to take over their parents' classes, or to graduate from college and other distributions, it is almost impossible to enter by their own strength.

Whether Wang Yue's grandmother will be brushed down by the small station, Qian Hong is not sure, even if this is the case, his strength will not change anything.

"Wang Yue, I'll go to the courtyard first. With a soft word, Qian Hong planned to go out, but he really didn't expect that at this time, Mrs. Mu came, and saw himself standing in the house at a glance.

However, Mrs. Mu is an old man, she quickly adjusted her expression, looked at Grandma Wang Yue, who was trying to get up, and said: "Old sister, I will leave the affairs of your family Zidong to me, and I promise to do it for you clearly, smoothly, and beautifully." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you, Master Mu. Wang Yue's grandmother began to get off the kang, and even the shoes were put on by the girl, and standing there gave people the feeling that they might fall down at any time.

"Old sister, as the saying goes, there are no young and old on Huangquan Road, you can think about it, now taking care of your grandchildren is the most important thing, isn't it for your children and grandchildren to live a lifetime?"

"I understand, then Master Mu, you can start directly!"

"Good"

After agreeing to a word, Mrs. Mu was like a general, calmly commanding, who takes what, what zodiac people can help carry people, who greets visitors who arranges cars, burns pillows, scatters grain, scatters paper money, etc., and so on and so on.

When a limited number of relatives cried, Wang Yue lifted the clay pot high according to the instructions, and finally smashed it on a brick, and the people who came to attend the funeral walked out of the courtyard one after another.

There was an old-fashioned bus parked at the corner of the street, which was specially transferred from the unit, and the relatives and friends of Wang Yue's family couldn't even fill 50 seats, Qian Hong and his mother sat in the window position behind the driver, and the small truck in front of them could be seen from this position.

The two cars moved forward silently, and from time to time paper money would fly over, and the people on the bus were talking in whispers, but the mother was hugging Qian Hong tightly, and she didn't know whether she was worried about Qian Hong being scared or she was afraid.

“...... Chairman Ma, the unit can't be so unkind, right? Isn't this forcing my mother to death......

"The unit has difficulties with the unit, and it is an exception to call the old lady to work at the beginning......

"If you can't solve it, then I'll go to Tieju Road, and I'll go to the city hall ......"

"This is not a problem that can be solved, this time the small station has also tried its best, generally this staff is 500, but you have a full batch of 800!"

Gradually, the sound of Aunt Wang Yue talking to Chairman Ma at the end of the bus came intermittently, and the matter was really similar to what Grandma Wang Yue guessed, but Aunt Wang Yue was too calm, and her negotiations, begging, and threats with Chairman Ma were meaningless, and in the end, even Qian Hong simply closed his eyes.

Almost an hour later, the bus finally arrived at its destination, a crematorium closest to the shipyard, and when the cold building appeared at a glance, the car in front of it threw a handful of paper money into the sky again, and then the pickup truck slowly stopped.

The steps of the funeral continued, Mrs. Mu took the people of the victim's family to go through the formalities, Qian Hong and the others, who came to see off the deceased for the last time, took the opportunity to move and prepare to participate in the final farewell to the body, but before that, Qian Hong still had an important thing to do, that is, to care for his mother.
