Zhou Quanbei frowned, and hurriedly walked out.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Huang hurried over and said in a low voice: "Xiaobei, it's Secretary Liu's relatives who came to mourn!" ”

Zhou Quanbei was stunned, but reacted instantly.

Funeral is the folk custom of Pingzhou, but, after so many years of circulation, Pingzhou Dongxiang and Xixiang customs have some subtle changes, Dongxiang people mourn very late, generally until 8 or 9 o'clock to start, but Xixiang people are in a hurry not late, pay attention to 'the sun does not come out'.

Now that Liu Minggao's relatives are here, it means that the ceremony is almost about to officially begin.

"Brother Huang, thank you! We brothers, we need to help more. Zhou Quanbei smiled and winked at Xiao Huang.

After these subtle 'cooperation', Xiao Huang also has a deeper understanding of Zhou Quanbei's temperament. This young man is doing things for people, that's really nothing!

Hurriedly nodded and said, "Hehe!" Xiaobei, our brothers, what's polite! ”

Soon, led by Xiao Huang, Zhou Quanbei hurriedly came to the outside room to greet Liu Minggao's relatives.

Liu Ming is in a high position and has high power, and on weekdays, he also takes care of these relatives, and his prestige is very high.

But Zhou Quanbei walked around carefully, but found that most of these relatives are already a little far away from Liu Minggao's bloodline, and the nearest one is going to be out of the third suit, it seems that in the end, he still has to be the 'principal' himself.

However, fortunately, Xiao Huang was there, and Zhou Quanbei gave him 4 stacks of cash, which were the Zhou family, the Lu family, and his own share of money, and the rest of the stacks, so he went to buy wreaths and couplets.

Fortunately, the funeral home doesn't lack anything, but things are a little more expensive, but at this moment, you have to leave a way for others to live, and Zhou Quanbei is too lazy to care about these anymore.

After dealing with the face, Zhou Quanbei hurriedly came to the VIP room, at this time, Liu Minggao and Qian Cuifen had already changed into white cloth linen, how dare Zhou Quanbei slack off? Busy also changed his clothes and knelt in front of Liu Yifan's coffin.

And because Liu Yifan has no heirs, and Liu Minggao's vein is too thin, it can become Zhou Quanbei's job when he is ushered in.

Fortunately, the crying and mourning in Pingzhou is only for relatives, Zhou Quanbei is young and in good health, and he can barely cope with it.

After kowtowing to these relatives hundreds of times, the sky is already bright, and the critical moment is about to come.

Liu Minggao's eyes were already a little blood-red, and he turned to Zhou Quanbei and said, "Xiaobei, Yifan, Yifan will be handed over to you!" ”

"Godmaster, don't worry!" Zhou Quanbei's eyes were also swollen from crying, but Liu Yifan's last journey still had to be delivered by him in person.

Soon, Liu Minggao's relatives picked out 8 big men, and the car of the funeral home also came, and the 8 people carried the coffin into the car together, lined up on both sides, cried, and walked towards the blast furnace on the other side.

Next, everything went through the process, and in the end, Zhou Quanbei received a small box, held it in person, and returned to the VIP room.

When Zhou Quanbei handed over the box to Liu Minggao with his own hands, Liu Minggao couldn't hold back any longer, even though he was a dignified seven-foot man, he was crying like a child.

And Qian Cuifen didn't need to mention it, she couldn't cry anymore, and a group of relatives slapped and beat her even before she slowly eased up.

After the crowd calmed down a little, people from all walks of life in Pingzhou had rushed over to start condolence.

Zhou Quanbei, as Liu Yifan's son and nephew, personally stood at the door and greeted them one by one.

However, for these people, Zhou Quanbei finally didn't have to kowtow when he met people again, and he was a little more relaxed.

But the deep meaning of this position is self-evident.

In Pingzhou, these days, Zhou Quanbei's father and son are in the limelight, and there is no need to repeat it, Zhou Quanbei's face has become a 'big face' that everyone in Pingzhou must recognize.

And almost everyone, when they saw Zhou Quanbei here, was stunned, and then they were busy hearing the words of encouragement and comfort.

At 8 o'clock, Lu Dashan and Lao Zhou rushed over at the same time and on time.

Lu Dashan walked to the door, looked at Zhou Quanbei's appearance, and hurriedly shook Zhou Quanbei's hand, "Xiaobei, hard work!" ”

Zhou Quanbei nodded and said in a low voice: "Uncle Lu, the godfather and the dry milk are inside!" ”

Lu Dashan understood what Zhou Quanbei meant, shook Zhou Quanbei's hand vigorously, and walked inside quickly.

Lao Zhou was also distressed when he saw his son like this, but after all, they were the two sons and daughters, and there was no need to repeat many things, one look was enough.

With Lu Dashan's arrival in advance, the identity of the subsequent visitors has gradually improved qualitatively.

Almost no one was absent, including the heads and brains of various departments, districts and counties in Pingzhou, and the 13 members of the Standing Committee of Pingzhou City, except for Xu Liang, commander of the city military division, who could not catch up with the meeting in the south, the remaining 12 people showed up one after another.

Including the number one old horse, he also showed up at half past eight, but soon left in a hurry.

Seeing that the people were almost there, Zhou Quanbei was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time, a few familiar faces were ushered in at the door.

Ma Tianxing helped a young man who was not very dexterous to walk in front, while Xu Xiaoliang and Xu Qing'er helped Xu Sihai to walk behind, including Zhao Xingshun, Zhao Yude and his son, and a few faces that Zhou Quanbei didn't know very well, all followed behind.

Ma Tianxing didn't expect Zhou Quanbei to appear here in this dress, and his brows couldn't help frowning, "Brother Zhou, you, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Quanbei didn't expect that at this moment, Ma Tianxing would actually attend here, and looking at the middle-aged man he was supporting, his face was full of vicissitudes, but he was unnaturally noble, Zhou Quanbei also guessed that this person was the famous Ma Deqiang!

Zhou Quanbei nodded slightly at Ma Tianxing, then ignored him, but looked at Ma Deqiang, bowed slightly, and said, "Mr. Ma!" Please! ”

Who is Ma Deqiang? Naturally, he would not be so naïve with his baby son, he shook Zhou Quanbei's hand vigorously, "It's Xiaobei!" I've heard your name for a long time! We'll have time to continue later! Condolences change! ”

Ma Deqiang saw that Zhou Quanbei wanted to speak, but he didn't give Zhou Quanbei this opportunity, nodded, and took the lead to walk inside.

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help frowning slightly, he could naturally feel that Ma Deqiang was obviously a little wary of himself in some aspects.

At this time, Xu Sihai stepped forward, "Xiaobei! Ay! Condolences change! ”

Zhou Quanbei felt quite good about Xu Sihai, and hurriedly shook his hand vigorously, "Mr. Xu, please!" ”

Xu Sihai nodded and hurriedly walked inside.

Xu Xiaoliang was a little afraid of Zhou Quanbei's might, nodded slightly, didn't dare to look at Zhou Quanbei's eyes, and hurriedly walked inside.

Instead, Xu Qing'er walked over, shook hands with Zhou Quanbei, and said in a low voice: "The surname Zhou, what kind of trick are you doing?" ”

Zhou Quanbei was tired all day today, and there was already an evil fire, which was wanted by Xu Qing'er in an instant, but this is not a place after all, Zhou Quanbei didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qing'er, you will know later!" You're in for a pleasant surprise! ”

Xu Qing'er naturally felt that there seemed to be some kind of indescribable ** in Zhou Quanbei's eyes, and hurriedly pulled out the small hand in Zhou Quanbei's hand, and said in a low voice: "Phew! Too lazy to pay attention to you! ”

Looking at Xu Qing'er's writhing hips~ buttocks, the corners of Zhou Quanbei's mouth turned up slightly, but he secretly said in his heart: "Damn, see how long you have to be nervous!" Sooner or later, I'll have to take you to Chong Chong! ”

Soon, it was already past nine o'clock, and there were fewer people at the door, at this time, Xiao Huang walked to Zhou Quanbei's side, "Xiaobei, it's almost time!" Liu Lao let you in! ”

Zhou Quanbei knew that the final ceremony was about to begin, and hurriedly walked into the room.

~~~~

After all, white things are different from red things, although this kind of thing is also a crowd, but the atmosphere is completely different.

In addition to the Standing Committee members who showed up and said goodbye, at this time, the VIP hall was still dark, and I am afraid that there would be at least 5 or 600 people.

Since Liu Yifan is a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, it is not the same as the usual custom.

The custom of ordinary people is that 'when picking auspiciousness, the son stepfather, the daughter stepmother', and then the funeral and burial go to the ground.

But Liu Yifan has no heirs, and although Zhou Quanbei has become his nephew, this last step still can't be replaced, so Liu Minggao and Qian Cuifen can only come in person.

But just as everyone was about to start preparing for the ceremony, there was a commotion at the door.

Xiao Huang hurriedly ran in and whispered to Zhou Quanbei's ear, "Xiaobei, the provincial ~ party committee, the provincial ~ party committee secretary general Wang is here!" ”

"What?" Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but be shocked, and his mind spun rapidly.

In this bureau, how could Zhou Quanbei not understand some key personnel?

There are 7 or 8 secretaries-general of the provincial party committee, but there is only one surnamed Wang! It is Wang Heyun and Secretary General Wang, who directly serve the 3-in-command.

But at this time, Qiu Gao, Secretary General of the Provincial ~ Party Committee, was seriously ill, and Secretary General Wang had actually presided over most of the work.

The most important thing is that Secretary-General Wang has won the trust of the No. 3 person......

At this time, how did this big man come here?

But after a while, Zhou Quanbei reacted and waved his hand at Xiao Huang, meaning that he would go to greet him first, and he hurriedly walked to Liu Minggao's side and whispered a few words.

Liu Minggao was preparing for the final ceremony, and it was when he was grief-stricken, but at this time, when he heard Zhou Quanbei's words, his body couldn't help but be shocked, and he was busy whispering a few words to Qian Cuifen beside him.

Qian Cuifen also reacted, and hurriedly pulled Liu Minggao's people and greeted her outside.

Everyone present didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly looked this way.

At this moment, a short and fat middle man wearing glasses, dressed in black, walked towards this side with a calm step.

Liu Minggao hurriedly stepped up and shook his hand hard, "Secretary-General! Tears flowed before a word.

Secretary-General Wang shook Liu Minggao's hand vigorously, "Comrade Minggao! Ay! Mourning and change! ”

said, but he glanced at Liu Minggao.

Liu Minggao hurriedly looked behind Secretary General Wang, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly stepped forward and held the man's hand, "Big brother, I'm sorry!" Blame me for not protecting Yifan! ”

The man was dressed very ordinary, but he was very tall, wearing a black peaked cap on his head, and when he heard Liu Minggao's words, his tears also flowed, "Minggao, how can everything be as expected?" Mourning and change! ”

Qian Cuifen also reacted at this time, hurriedly stepped forward, and grabbed this person's arm hard, "Big brother! One fan, one fan, he ......"

The man hugged Qian Cuifen hard, "Come, let's send Yifan on the last journey together!" ”
