Chapter 120: Thousands of Miles to Send Ashes
Three days later, Yujing Industrial paid his salary, and Chi Min's mobile phone text message reminded him: more than 9,000 yuan was punched on the salary card.
She closed the door of her office and said, "Xiaofeng, I have received more than 9,000 yuan in salary this month, which is double that of last month! β
Shi Xiaofeng smiled: "What, I don't think there is a lot of money?"
Chi Min sighed: "I've only been in the company for two months, and I get such a high salary, and just now a few female colleagues in the finance room were talking behind my back, and they looked at me strangely." β
Shi Xiaofeng said with a smile: "You don't care what they say, how much I like to make hair." Next month, I'll send you 20,000!"
Ji Min was taken aback and said, "Don't be too willful, you are doing this, I am afraid that it will affect your future!"
Shi Xiaofeng coldly kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile: "You care about me so much, what a good wife!"
Chi Min's face turned red and she was about to fight, Shi Xiaofeng grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "By the way, I will leave tomorrow to send the urn to Sang Xiaomei's hometown, you can go with me." β
Ji Min hesitated, "How many days are you going?"
Shi Xiaofeng said: "Sang Xiaomei's hometown is in a small mountain village at the junction of Guangxi and Yunnan, which is very remote, and it takes at least four or five days to go back and forth, and I have to build a cemetery for her father, so I asked Mr. Shao for a week off. β
Chi Min said: "We have just returned from a business trip to the United States for more than 10 days, and we are going to go away together, what will others think? β
Shi Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Well, it's better for you to be thoughtful." Okay, I'll go alone, and it's up to you how hard you work this week. β
Ji Min smiled: "Don't worry, you pay me such a high salary, can I not work hard." β
Shi Xiaofeng lowered his voice and said, "It's going to be separated for a week, and we're going to do it three times tonightβno, five times!"
Ji Min was angry, and scolded with a smile: "Be your big-headed ghost! At night, I'll find a rope to tie you up!"
Shi Xiaofeng made a surprise gesture and said, "Oh, it turns out that my sister likes to play like this, it's great!"
Ji Min understood, and he really couldn't answer his words anymore, so he quickly dodged.
Early the next morning, Chi Min saw him off at the airport and watched Shi Xiaofeng board a direct flight to Nanning before returning to the company.
Two and a half hours later, the plane arrived at Nanning Wuxu International Airport. Shi Xiaofeng walked out of the airport and got on the airport express bus to downtown Nanning. After more than half an hour, I got off at the terminal, which was the long-distance bus station.
It was noon, so he casually found a small shop and ordered a special beef bashi dry noodles and a fragrant fried snail. After eating and drinking, immediately enter the long-distance station and continue on the road.
Before buying the ticket, he took out a picture to make sure. This picture was drawn by him on the reverse side of the urn lid. Sang Xiaomei noted that her hometown is in Qingniu Township, on the border of Guangxi and Yunnan, and belongs to the jurisdiction of XL County.
Shi Xiaofeng bought a ticket to the nearest time to XL County, and he had to wait for nearly an hour to depart. He sat bored in the waiting room and bought a newspaper to read.
"Young man, I would like to ask you, how to go to Qingniu Township?"
Shi Xiaofeng raised his head and saw an old man and an old woman, both with gray hair, loose teeth, and trembling walking. It is estimated that the two are not in their eighties, but they are also in their seventies.
He hurriedly helped the two old men to sit down and said, "I'm also going to Qingniu Township, let's go all the way." β
The old man who asked the question opened a map of Guangxi with trembling hands, pointed to the westernmost corner and said: "Young man, my eyes are not good, you can help me see, is Qingniu Township here?"
The old woman also stretched out her hand to point on the map, Shi Xiaofeng's heart sank, and he found that the two old men had disabilities on their hands - the old man was missing the ring finger and little finger on his left hand, but the old woman was missing two fingers on his right hand, and the ring finger and little finger were missing.
Shi Xiaofeng muttered in his heart: Why is it so ingenious? The two of them are each missing two fingers, one on the left and one on the right, and the missing parts are the same.
He suppressed his curiosity and said, "Qingniu Township is this place, but you two have to take a car to XL County before you can transfer to Qingniu Township." β
The old woman sighed: "It's so troublesome, it seems that I can't go to Qingniu Township today." β
Shi Xiaofeng thought to himself that the two old men must have no children around them, otherwise which unfilial child would let such an elderly parent go out by himself?
He said: "Two old people, have you bought your tickets? If you haven't bought them, I'll buy them for you, and I'll go to Qingniu Township too, and we'll go on the same road." β
The old man smiled all over his face, took out a hundred dollars, and said, "Thank you, young man, your heart is so good." β
Shi Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Little thing, you don't have to be polite, I'll buy a ticket first." β
He went to the ticket window and bought two more tickets for the same flight as himself.
After the long-distance bus started, he asked the driver, "Master, how long will it take for this car to get to XL County?"
"The mountain road is not easy to walk, it takes more than seven hours. β
Shi Xiaofeng gasped, he knew that it would take so long, he should take the train to BS City first, and then transfer to the car to XL County. In this way, although there is one more transfer, the time must be much faster.
Alas, I made a mistake, I should have driven myself and drove from S City! Count the time, I can only get to XL County at eight o'clock tonight, as the old woman said, I can't get to Qingniu Township today.
He was bored, read a newspaper, didn't even let go of the advertisement in the middle seam, only a little time had passed, and simply closed his eyes and slept.
After sleeping for a while, the old man sitting behind him suddenly woke him up and said, "Young man, how long will it take to get to XL County?"
Shi Xiaofeng looked at his watch and said, "It's early, and I've only walked less than half the way." β
A middle-aged man sitting next to him suddenly glared at the old man fiercely, stood up and said loudly: "Master, stop, I'll get off here!"
The long-distance bus took the provincial road, and the driver stopped and let him get down. Shi Xiaofeng was strange, and the old man whispered: "Young man, the person who got out of the car is a thief, he wanted to open your bag just now, I was anxious in my eyes, and I didn't dare to say it, so I pretended to ask the time to remind you." β
Shi Xiaofeng secretly said ashamed, and hurriedly thanked the old man, thinking that what I had in my bag was the urn of the white-haired ghost, and it was useless for the thief to steal it, and the real value was the acupuncture bronze man hidden in my arms.
He stopped sleeping, chatted with the old man, and learned that the two old men were both nearly eighty years old, and they only had one daughter under their knees, and they married far away to Qingniu Township in XL County. The two old men took a car for a few days to visit their daughter and grandson in Qingniu Township.
After chatting for a while, Shi Xiaofeng wanted to ask them several times about the strange mutilation on their fingers, but finally couldn't help but speak. It's not a good thing for curiosity to kill cats.
