Chapter 504: The Funeral
New York, American Cemetery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, it can be said that there are many celebrities here, and almost all the people in the New York business community have appeared in this place to see off Lao Bi.
When the hearse slowly drove into the cemetery, the scene immediately became silent, Lin Qing slowly got out of the car and bowed to all the people who came, and slowly spoke: "Welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to attend the funeral of old Mr. Peter." ”
"I've known Mr. Peter Sr. for a very short time, so short that you can't believe it, I've only known Mr. Peter Sr. for a week!" Lin Qing spoke very slowly, with a sadness in his emotions, which slowly infected everyone around him, but after Lin Qing said this, the crowd immediately exclaimed, and they couldn't believe it.
There have always been rumors in the outside world that Lin Qing is the illegitimate son of Old Peter, although Lin Qing is yellow-skinned, but it is also possible to be like a mother, of course, this kind of knowledge is just a conversation after dinner, after all, Lin Qing can't see any traces of white people all over his body, not like a mixed-race child, what really surprises these people is that Lin Qing and Old Peter have known each other for such a short time, and the outside world speculates that Lin Qing and Old Peter should have known each other for a long time.
"But in such a short period of time, I have developed a deep friendship with Mr. Peter Sr., and there is a saying in China called New Year's Friendship, which talks about the relationship between people who are relatively different in age."
"Old Peter is the most open-minded person I know, we can see from his life, Old Peter is a very friendly, kind person, but today, I have to personally send his last layer to my friend, hoping that he can bless us in heaven and bless everyone present!"
After speaking, Lin Qing bowed deeply, got out of the way, and six people walked down from the hearse, slowly lifted Old Peter's coffin off the hearse, and then walked step by step to the cemetery that had been dug up.
The music slowly wrinkled on both sides of the truth, Lin Qing didn't know what the song was, but he was very cheerful, and he couldn't feel the sadness at all, when Old Peter's coffin passed by his former friend, someone would silently send blessings, and then chat with the people next to him.
Americans have long evolved the funeral culture into a social culture, and in addition to the host's speech and pastor's blessing, most of the time, Americans are chatting with each other and expanding their network.
The coffin walked very slowly, and the people who carried the coffin were from New York State, USA, and they were all professional ceremonial personnel, and the funeral of Old Peter could be said to be relatively large.
It took five minutes to slowly put the hearse into the cemetery, and then the two people stepped forward to cover the American flag on the coffin of Old Peter, and at this time a religious song was played, Lin Qing still hadn't heard it, but he thought it was very good, and the people around him who were still whispering just now were all silent.
An old priest in a black robe held a Bible in his hand, slowly walked to the tombstone, and the crowd around him, who was originally standing in a very messy position, all gathered in front of the pastor, waiting for the old pastor to read the final farewell hymn.
"We are gathered here this afternoon for the funeral of our friend Peter, who has gone to heaven. From the moment we learned that Mr. Peter had left us, we were plunged into an abyss of pain. The pain has not stopped. But today, I want you to have a different feeling, and that is that your hearts can be filled with peace and hope. Because today you will hear what God is saying to us through the Bible. This God is the one who created heaven and the world, omnipotent and loving. God will speak for Peter's events, and for each and every one of us here.

"Love is long-suffering and kind; Love is not jealousy; Love is not boastful, not arrogant; He does not be shy, he does not seek his own good, he does not anger easily, he does not count the wickedness of men, he does not rejoice in unrighteousness, he delights in the truth, he bears all things, he believes all things, he hopes all things, he endures all things. Love never ends. ”

"Thank the Lord for the peace of his life's work, he has completed this path, may the Lord take him to rest in your arms. Bless us as well as follow in your footsteps and fight the good fight until we meet the Lord. Thank you, Lord. This prayer is prayed in Jesus' name, amen.
After speaking, the pastor kissed his cross, performed a common Christian ritual, and slowly walked aside, and all the people who came to the funeral also bowed their heads, silently drew a cross, and whispered: "Amen." ”
After the priest presided over the funeral, Lin Qing walked to the front, holding a white Baihe in his hand, gently walked to the grave of old Peter, bowed deeply, and then stood in place, today he is the family of old Peter, on behalf of old Peter, thank everyone who attended the funeral and sent blessings.
Ivanka came over the second and also gave a white chrysanthemum, and then after bowing deeply, she stood beside Lin Qing and accompanied Lin Qing.
"Thank you for your blessings, God is with you!"
"Thank you for your blessings......"
“……”
The next people are all old Peter's friends, Lin Qing doesn't know any of them, but everyone who comes up will offer a white chrysanthemum, or a white lily and a white rose, all of them are yellow and white, and everyone in Lin Qing has to bow deeply.
The whole process lasted about an hour, these were all spontaneous people, Lin Qing didn't take the initiative to invite at all, all the people who came to the funeral in the West were friends of the deceased, generally speaking, they would come autonomously after getting the news, after the flowers were over, the funeral was over, and they could leave, and Lin Qing had to wait until everyone left before he could finally leave.
There are also some reporters among them, today these reporters did not harass Lin Qing, just quietly filmed the funeral pictures, and then in the end, all the reporters, each and every one of them will come over to offer a flower, no one handed the microphone to Lin Qing, they want to interview Lin Qing must wait until the funeral is over, this is an unwritten rule.
But the only thing that surprised Lin Qing was that Trump actually came to the funeral of Old Peter, Lin Qing didn't get the news at all at first, and it wasn't until after the pastor read the final hymn that Trump got out of the car, patted Lin Qing on the shoulder, offered a rose, and then left directly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
