Chapter 389: Personnel, Ghost Things
It's my instinct to think about everything for the better, but if I always think about the dark side, I'm too pessimistic.
Anyway, we are here, some things that need to be done still have to be done, and if no one is here, we will continue to burn incense. Judging from the fact that there is no one to keep the spirit, Li Chong and his mother-in-law's family have a lot of trouble, otherwise there would not be no relatives and friends to help at this time. And in this kind of eventful time, the relatives around you can see how you are clear, Li Chong is a person who can create a lot of wealth, and he can see these things more clearly than me.
I am an outsider, and other people's family affairs can only be thought about in my heart, and I will not get involved. Even if I want to participate, I don't have the qualifications, we just come here to do business.
"Came before me."
After Yin Wushen's words fell, it was not Zhao Mingli's ghost who came, but Li Wei who came. He didn't come by car, but came over, wearing ordinary clothes, quite energetic. It's just strange that this guy is followed by a female ghost, middle-aged, except for the pale face, there is no extra specialness, but her expression seems to be a little arrogant.
Seeing this, I and I still had a look in the same eyes, and I knew from her eyes that she was able to see ghosts without revealing herself. Although we are known by many ghosts in Tai'an County that we are Taoist priests, not all ghosts know, so no matter what this ghost is here to do, there is no need for us to go to the sidelines.
"I just came, too." I was polite.
He nodded at this, lit a cigarette and said, "I'll come and see it until half past eight, what about my eldest brother...... Uh, it's Li Chong, have you seen it? ”
It's almost half past eight in the morning, and judging from his words, it turns out that he and Li Chong are guarding the spirit here, but judging from what he is wearing, it looks like he is walking through the streets and alleys. He may have also seen that I was paying attention to what he was wearing, and casually flicked the clothes on his chest and said, "There are not so many rules, and if the leader of the more dressing methods gets the news, he will not get me." ”
It's the same thing, but it's a public official. Hearing him joking, it was the first time I knew that he could still joke, and there was no sense of disobedience, which was a bit out of line with my uncle's age. If it had been placed in the past, it would have been said to be immature. But this guy is really calm when he is in the office, and people can't see that he is easy to talk.
We also talked about meeting Li Chong, and while chatting, the arrogant female ghost who followed him was like going home, and she went straight into the house like a learner, and disappeared into our eyes through the wall. I already know this, this female ghost should be Zhao Mingli's ghost. The reason why she is so sure is because she is a ghost queen's slightly rusty footsteps proves that she has not been dead for a long time, and secondly, as a new ghost, she is too familiar with this place.
After chatting with Li Wei about some things about Li Chong's family, Yin Wu Shenhu said suspiciously: "You live nearby?" ”
Li Wei was stunned, and then he probably knew that we might have seen from him not driving or hitchhiking, so he didn't shy away from saying: "I'm at the intersection next door, only about a hundred meters." My eldest brother used to have real estate here, so this time he came to Tai'an County to find a house that he helped to find, so he found a house close to it. ”
Indeed, from other places, it is difficult to have relatives here, so it is natural to choose as close as possible, and you can talk to each other about something and nothing.
"Doesn't your eldest brother have several suites here, and this building is there, there is no need to rent a house outside, what a waste of money. Aren't you public officials taboo about this, what do you think? Yin Wushen and Li Wei were chatting, it seemed that they were chatting casually, but I knew that she wanted to put some Li Wei's words on the table. After all, Zhao Mingli's ghost came with Li Wei just now, and it can be imagined that the two of them had something inconvenient to meet before.
Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, although I think Li Wei is good, but who can understand it when I don't know the roots?
Presumably Yin Wushen thinks so too, otherwise how could he have talked about so many and some of them.
Li Wei doesn't seem to know our intentions, in the end he doesn't know that there are ghosts in this world, he doesn't know that Zhao Mingli's ghost follows him, and he is a policeman, our words seem unnecessary in his opinion, and he naturally won't think that we are talking to him. casually made it on the straw mat in front of the coffin, smoking a cigarette, "There is communication only with distance, and I am annoyed to death every day." Besides, no matter how close I am, I will divide the family, if I live here, it will not be good for them to spend money on food and drink, and if I spend my money, that little money is not enough to support the family. Alas~ Just like you young people, just pursue your own comfortable life, and I am like this. ”
This statement is true, but it seems to be talking about the "benefits of being single". I kind of understood why his position was not low, and he was not bad-looking, but he was still single when he was ready to be forty, because he didn't want to get rid of the comfort that being single brought him.
You can ponder these things, and I won't talk about them here. I can't imagine that a police captain is not good at dealing with human affairs, but generally public officials who do not know how to deal with human affairs are poor, this sentence is an old saying. I still admire him a little bit for this, if it weren't for Zhao Mingli appearing with him, I wouldn't want to think more about his badness. On the contrary, because after Zhao Mingli appeared, I subconsciously thought that he had something wrong with Zhao Mingli during his lifetime, so I felt that he lied to us......
It's human instinct, and it's hard for me to control myself from not having this kind of thought. If you can see a ghost who has just become a ghost next to a person, it is not difficult to imagine that there must be a connection between them, this is normal and should be considered, not that I deliberately imagined Li Wei as a bad person.
Yin Wushen casually "sighed", and did not continue to talk to her, I don't know what she is thinking now.
And Zhao Mingli's ghost didn't come out after entering the house, because she was a ghost, and the ghost spirit was not strong, I don't know if she floated up the upper floor or left upstairs. When I was young, I looked contemplative, and his perception was much stronger than that of me and Yin Wushen, and he might be able to sense it, so I didn't bother him with Yin Wushen. Anyway, he himself is sullen, and Li Wei will not talk to him.
A coffin is placed inside the gate, and now the gate is wide open, and as the time approaches noon, there are more people on the road, many people are avoiding it, and some people spurn this kind of behavior in a county town. In the end, no one likes to see bad things outside, and dead people and coffins are all bad things for them.
After eleven o'clock, people began to come outside, and almost all of them were Zhao Mingli and their people, and some of them came to carry the coffin. These people seem to be united, and after knowing from Li Wei's mouth that Yin Wushen and I were the people who came to the funeral this time, many people whispered that we were not good. This whisper is naturally intentional for us to hear, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hear it.
We don't care, it's normal to be said after all. However, I can see from these things that the people on the Zhao family's side do not deal with Li Chong's family, otherwise even if it is a joke, we will have some affection for Li Chong or Li Wei.
"At a young age, I learned to be a Taoist priest, if my daughter's thing is not good this time, I won't approve of it, and then I can guess again to pay tribute to my daughter's spirit in the sky!" Zhao Mingli's father, Zhao Shengdong, looks like a vulgar person, and his speech is indeed in line with his vulgar appearance.
Although it was us who scolded at the beginning, the latter sentence was obviously said to Li Wei, and the accentuated voice may have been heard by Li Chong and Li Ziyue, who were resting all night. This makes me wonder why a good father-in-law treats his uncle like this, and talks about the funeral in front of a police captain, but I don't know if extravagance is now prohibited?
"I said Uncle Zhao, just talk about it. Your daughter is still lying in front of you, they are all a family, there is no need to make a big deal out of it. Li Wei got up from the straw mat and refilled the incense for Zhao Mingli, and lit a cigarette for himself as he spoke, changing the casualness of talking to us before, and steadily making people feel that there was a kind of courage not to be angry and arrogant.
I didn't speak on the side, Yin Wushen couldn't stand this kind of slanderous words, I grabbed the corner of her clothes and pulled her up, otherwise I was really afraid that she would flatten Zhao Shengdong with a move. I came this time to deal with the funeral matters in a low-key manner, not to make trouble, and I don't want to get involved in other people's family affairs too much. Other people's family affairs are difficult to manage even the relevant departments, which onion am I? There is still a self-positioning in this point.
Zhao Shengdong was a little hesitant in the face of Li Wei's words, as if he didn't dare to confront Li Wei, a public official. However, his son Zhao Mingshuang beside him is different, and he defended his father angrily: "I said Li sir, this is our housework, you are just a little brother of my brother-in-law's family next door, what does your own business matter." Speaking of which, my dad is still your elder, is this what you should say? The word sir Li is not for you to bully our people, you have to serve our people well! ”
After saying that, he also glanced at the beautiful Yin Wushen with some eyes, and the eyes that discharged him should be a veteran of the flower field.
I can feel the coldness of the music and dance on the side now, if it were in private, it is estimated that this Zhao Shengdong would have been unable to get up on the street for a long time!
These words seemed to poke Li Wei's sore spot, but he didn't look ugly because of this, but took out his mobile phone casually, "If I want to serve the people well, I should call the boss and ask them to send the body to the crematorium for cremation." Now it's a waste of manpower, material resources and land resources, something that can be solved with a grid, why do you have to spend so much battle to occupy mountain resources? ”
There was a hint of ridicule in his words, and as he said, the country has long begun to prohibit extravagance and waste and tombs occupying large tracts of mountain resources.
But he thought wrong, this is the underdeveloped Tai'an County, Zhao Shengdong said unceremoniously: "Since you don't give face, we don't have to give you any face, Tai'an County is far away from the emperor, do you really think it will work with one phone call from you?" In that case, we can still have a flowing water banquet here for three days? The red and white ceremonies of the county citizens can't be extravagant and wasteful for relatives and friends? Amusing! ”
Li Wei is right, and Zhao Shengdong is even more right. In a small place like Tai'an County, most of the old traditions are still left, and it is impossible to cure them at one time, so you can only take your time, and when this side develops, many traditional things will be solved.
Perhaps it was also the jealousy in his heart that was said, Li Wei finally had to laugh at himself coldly and take back his mobile phone, and the people on the Zhao family's side all smiled.
