Yilan sighed: "It doesn't matter if you look at it or not, alas, Xiulian is really pitiful, a high school graduate, and finally ...... Walked this path. Zhenhua, what are you going to do, I won't stop you. But I want you to calm down for our home and ...... The child in my belly thinks about it and takes care of his body. ”

Zhenhua nodded: "Yilan, Qi Lei and I just regard Xiulian as a younger sister, now, deal with her aftermath first, and try to meet her last wishes." ”

Yilan was very generous and said: "You and Qi Lei discuss it, don't be impulsive." ”

"Thank you, Yilan. Zhenhua thanked him again.

It was too late to take a bath, Zhenhua just changed his clothes and went to Lu Qiangwen's house.

Qi Lei had already arrived, and was talking to Xiulian's mother.

Lu Qiangwen was not at home, so he followed Meng Qingbo and the funeral home's car to the county funeral home.

Qi Lei was emotional, pointing fingers and talking non-stop, but Tong Jiafen didn't speak, lowered his head and covered his face, just crying.

Xiulian's younger sister Xiumei has grown up, seventeen or eighteen years old, and she stands aside sobbing with a sad face. Xiulian's brother Lu Shengsong and sister-in-law Ji Huamei both stood aside in a daze.

Zhenhua walked over, pulled Qi Lei and said, "Qi Lei, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”

Qi Lei glanced at Zhenhua and said: "Xiulian's ashes, we must bury her in her hometown, in Dongwan Village, this is Xiulian's last wish." She's alive and we can't take care of her. Now, we're going to get that done!"

Zhenhua nodded and said, "You have to talk about this slowly, don't rush." ”

Ji Huamei looked at Zhenhua and Qi Lei, and said: "This matter, you have to ask the child's grandfather to nod, you can discuss it with his grandfather in two days." ”

Zhenhua thought for a while and motioned for Ji Huamei to go to the backyard to talk.

Ji Huamei nodded, leaned on crutches, and came to the backyard with Zhenhua Qi Lei.

Although Ji Huamei is disabled, she has some culture, intelligence and opinions. Moreover, Ji Huamei is diligent and diligent in running her family, and she has also won praise from the villagers in Dongwan Village.

Zhenhua said: "Xiulian is really reluctant to leave her hometown, otherwise, she would not have died on the river beach in her hometown." In any case, Qi Lei and I have to arrange Xiulian's funeral. If your family is in trouble, leave this matter to me and Qi Lei. ”

Qi Lei did not hesitate and said: "I have money if I want it, and I have it if I want land." I have more than ten acres of land at home, I can be the master of the house and find a piece of feng shui treasure land for Xiulian!"

Ji Huamei frowned: "I have no opinion, I'm just afraid that Sheng Song's father will not agree...... In the countryside, there is no reason for a girl who marries out to be buried in her hometown. There is also the Gao family, and they may not agree. ”

It is true that the girl who married out spilled the water.

Xiulian is now Gao Qingchun's wife, she is a member of the Gao family when she is alive, and she is still a ghost of his Gao family when she dies.

The Gao family has the right to claim Xiulian's posthumous arrangements, even if it is a lawsuit, the law will support the Gao family.

What's more, the countrymen are conservative and stubborn, and they will never allow their married daughters to be buried in their old fields.

Not to mention a girl who has already married, even if she is an adult daughter who has died young, she is not qualified to be buried in the ancestral tomb, and can only build a small grave in a remote place.

Xiulian's father, can he agree to let Xiulian be buried in his hometown?

Qi Lei said: "I can give money, as long as your family agrees to this matter, how much money you want, how much I will give." As for the Gao family, don't worry about him, we buried Xiulian in his hometown, and he still dares to rob it?"

Ji Huamei shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid it's not about money......"

Zhenhua also felt that this matter was difficult, and frowned and thought about it.

Ji Huamei thought for a while, and then said, "Just now Qi Lei showed me Xiulian's letter, I think...... Let's follow what Xiulian said, keep a handful of ashes and bury them secretly in her hometown, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish. ”

Zhenhua was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It's really not good, and it can only be like this." ”

Qi Lei said: "Later, Zhenhua, we will go to the funeral home first." ”

Zhenhua nodded, rode a bicycle with Qi Lei, and went straight to the town.

There are tricycles in the town, and Qi Lei chartered a bus directly to the county funeral home. The funeral parlor is five kilometers north of the county, and it takes about an hour for a tricycle to drive through.

Outside the door of the funeral home, Qi Lei bought two good cigarettes and held them in his hand, and went directly to the office with Zhenhua.

After entering the office, Qi Lei took apart the cigarettes, and each staff member gave four packs of cigarettes, and then said: "My sister Annette Lu has just been sent to the funeral home, please take care of ......"

The person in charge of the funeral home was surprised, stood up and said, "Why are you so polite? Do you have any requirements? As long as we can do it, we can cooperate." ”

Qi Lei nodded and said, "Leader, can you take a step to speak?"

The leader hesitated, nodded, and took Zhenhua and Qi Lei to the dormitory upstairs.

Qi Lei took out a stack of banknotes prepared from his pocket, a full thousand yuan, stuffed it into the hands of the person in charge, and said: "When my sister was cremated, there were two of us, and we had to go into the cremation room to watch, and we had to take all her ashes away." ”

The person in charge groaned for a moment and said, "According to the regulations, when the deceased is cremated, only one family member can accompany him to pick up the ashes. But...... I can take care of it and meet your requests. On the day of cremation, I'll arrange it for you. ”

"Thank you. Zhenhua and Qi Lei bowed together and thanked him.

As long as you can enter the cremation room, the rest will be easy to do, and Qi Lei has a way to bring out Xiulian's ashes intact.

In this world, many things can be settled with money, and Qi Lei is not short of money now.

Zhenhua, on the other hand, has more than enough heart but not enough strength, so he can only rely on Qi Lei's financial resources to fulfill Xiulian's last wish.

The two lingered in the dormitory of the person in charge for a while, asking if anyone from the Gao family had come.

The person in charge of the crematorium understood, shook his head and said, "The deceased was sent by your township police station, and the father of the deceased accompanied him. After completing the formalities, I went back, and no one else came. ”

"Thank you for the leadership, let's go back first, and come back when we have time. Zhenhua shook hands with the person in charge and said goodbye with Qi Lei.

The two still chartered a tricycle and rushed back to Dongwan Village.

Back in the village, it was already dark.

Zhenhua discussed with Qi Lei, didn't go home, and went to Xiulian's father Lu Qiangwen first.

The lights of the Lu family were bright, and relatives and elders gathered here to discuss Xiulian's funeral.

Lu Qiangwen's eyes were red, his beard was unshaven, and his expression was sluggish.

Seeing Zhenhua and Qi Lei walking in, the room full of people stood up.

Zhenhua nodded at everyone, then went straight to the point and said directly: "Uncle Qiang Wen, Xiulian's last wish is to bury her ashes in her hometown. You're a father, you can do this, right?"
