7 Invitees
A dilapidated pickup van, which is common in the South Side, drove past the driveway in the backyard and parked outside the front door of the Grande. The visitor was a well-behaved fellow, at least better than Oz Kozier, who had come here to find Emilia a few days ago.
But the driver didn't go to the front door, got out of the car, trotted, and ran to the backyard with a smile on his face, "Zack! you hear me coming?!" Eric ran to Zack as energetically as Zach every time he saw him, and ran to Zack in front of him in the noon sun.
"Ah, Benjamin, you're back!" Eric greeted with a smile when he saw Benjamin in the hammock, "You've missed several big funerals!"
Zach was already smiling on his face, and looked back at Benjamin, who raised his hand in response, "I just came back in the morning, and we were talking about what we missed each other." Then the sound of a car was heard. "Obviously there is something in the words, but now is not the time for discussion.
Zach turned to the young man in front of him, "Eric, why are you here? ”
Isn't it true that Grande's funeral will always hire short-term farm workers to make up for Grande's lack of manpower, and Eric is the guy who often comes to Grande to do extra money. One of the few who crossed paths with Grande in the Southern End.
Zach beckoned and walked up the back porch to take this guy into Grande, "You came at a good time, Alice made a steak." ”
"Really?!" Eric was very excited, and walked in front of Zach.
The biggest benefit of coming to Grande to earn extra money is the meals Alice cooks. Those farmers may be accustomed to having delicious food when they come to Grande, although now Grande does not provide a job and should not have this benefit, but when they meet, this Eric obviously does not want to miss it.
And it must be said that there were times when these farmers were present at the funeral. It was when Grande was at his most popular. Grande, who has been 'quiet and peaceful' for a long time, occasionally has these people to make a scene, and Zach is not disgusted.
Zach smiled and moved out of the way, making a casual motion.
"Oh yes!" Eric turned around before entering, scooping out an envelope behind his broken cowboy ass for a long time. With a happy face, "I'm here to deliver an invitation!"
Zach raised an eyebrow and took it, and he didn't have to open it to guess that it was Cliff's invitation. Looking at the stamps affixed to it, it is clear that Cliff is going to send it.
Zach opened it, and the invitee said 'All members of Grande', which was lazy.
"Do you know Cliff?" Zach asked, squinting at the names of the two newcomers on the invitation.
"Of course!" said Eric, looking a little upset. "We grew up together in an orphanage, we are best friends, I am the best man! But I just realize now that I don't know a lot of things about him!" Well, I didn't even know you knew each other! Anyway, he invited a lot of people I didn't know. Belch. ”
"Hehe, I've met a few times. Zach accepted the invitation. He smiled and looked at Eric, "Why haven't I heard you mention Cliff?" ”
"Oh, even though he's a friend, he doesn't do any of our menial work. "I think it's farming," Eric shook his head, he could already smell the aroma in the restaurant. "When I came to Grande, we were all farmers, and we couldn't talk about him. ”
"Go ahead. Zach stopped occupying the guy who kept looking at the restaurant, smiled and waved his hand. Watching Eric rush into the restaurant, he greeted him first. "Hank, Danny, Alice, Louise, Benjamin is back, Matthew?...... "Soon, with the food supply, there was no time to talk about."
Zach shook the invitation card in his hand and walked over to Benjamin again, "By the way, there's this thing, Cliff is getting married." ”
"Cliff?" said Benjamin, dangling in his hammock, muttering the name, recalling, "Cliff, Cliff, who?"
"The 'inheritor'. Zach pouted, "We were teenagers when we met him. The invitation was thrown to Benjamin's chest, "Apparently grown up now." ”
Benjamin opened the invitation card with little interest, "I remember, the one who hid when I saw you." Hmph, he's going to invite you. Who is Linda. ”
"It's us who invited. Zach pointed to 'all the members of Grande,' "He didn't want to." Zach shrugged as if he had thought of something funny, "I bumped into him when he and Molman went to deliver an invitation to Sbella. "The first question is answered, and the second," Molman said was an alien 'inheritor' who wanted to end the cycle of 'eternal life'. This quotation mark must.
Benjamin raised an eyebrow, "Can't think of it?" Glancing at the names of the bride and groom on the invitation again, "It's still two inheritors who can't think of it have come together." Hehe. The meaning of the laugh is unclear.
Zach waved his hand, "I'm tired." Who knows how many life cycles they go through. ”
"It's a pity. Benjamin threw away the invitation, "The knowledge at the beginning of the birth of the world, in this world, there are two less things that can be transmitted, uh, things." ”
Zach pursed his lips, as if he was unhappy with Benjamin's habit of littering, picked up the invitation, and stuffed the envelope back, "It's still a question of whether they can succeed, there's nothing wrong with giving it a try." ”
Benjamin waved his hand still uninterested, and changed the subject, "Funeral, Eric reminded me." You probably know all about my work in Newton. ”
There was a smile on Benjamin's face, a little, uh, ill-intentioned, "Shouldn't you tell me what happened to Barton, I seem to have missed a lot of things, and both Corden and Sbella have 'reminded' me." I've been reading the newspaper all morning. Hehe, those headlines, we Grande, have something to do with them? Uh, by the way, where's Dylan. ”
Zack's face became ugly, where to start, "Dylan......" Start with Grande's own people, "He ......" Zach didn't continue, looked at the backyard driveway again, someone came again, "I'll talk about it later." ”
It didn't take long for a car to drive into Grande's backyard, Jason got down with a briefcase, glanced at Zach, and handed out the documents taken out of the bag with an unnatural expression, "The documents are ready, signed, and the insurance will take effect." ”
Who would have thought that Zach would really increase the amount of business for Jason, an insurance business worker.
"Good. Zach smiled and took the papers, walked to the back porch again, and entered the stairwell, to go to the office, "You came at the right time, Alice made a steak." "Zach is also a lazy guy.
"No, I have other jobs...... Jason followed behind Zach, but he couldn't hold back, and glanced inside as he passed the restaurant.
"Jason?!" a muffled cry of food came from Eric's mouth at the table, and he chewed hard a few times before swallowing the food, "Jason, did you receive an invitation?"
"Eh, Eric?" Jason was obviously surprised, but immediately glanced at Zack, his eyes full of 'Why is he here?'
Zach had already walked up the stairs, and he wasn't going to explain anything, so he continued to go up as if he was looking through the insurance documents.
"Uh, what's the invitation?" asked Jason, shaking his head.
"Well, Cliff is getting married. I sent an invitation, but the address is the address you originally went to in the North District, and I don't know if it's right. "I can only answer.
"Cliff is married? uh...... I've moved. ”
"yes. Eric's oily mouth crooked, "Well, that'...... Give me the new address. Cliff invited everyone, well, you should go too. "It doesn't seem too reluctant.
"Well......" Jason also seemed to hesitate, not wanting to answer. Usually at this point, the person will change the subject, such as what Jason is doing now, "Eric, why are you here?"
"Grande was also invited. Eric blinked, a little stunned when he didn't get an answer, and immediately, his eyebrows twitched, "Why are you ...... here?"
Eric hadn't finished his words, but before he said 'Grande was invited', Jason had already looked up and looked at Zach who had already walked to the second floor with a frown. Zach deliberately poked his head out, smiled at him, and shook the invitation card in his hand.
"I live in Knoll now. Jason's hesitation was gone, "I'll go get a pen and paper, and I'll write the address to you." "Walked up the stairs.
There is only one reason why Jason hesitates to disappear, he is not worried that a vampire will appear at the wedding of his 'brother' who he grew up with.
Poor fellow, he's chasing Zach up now, and his worldview is about to be refreshed.
Zach only used one sentence, "Cliff, who grew up with you, is not a human, but a kind of thing called a inheritor, well, something." "It's not even a living thing, thing. (To be continued.) )
