Chapter 39: A Good Day to Worship Ancestors
Today, April 4th, Qingming Festival, cloudy, no rain and no wind, and no big sun hanging in the air, look at the sky, and immediately nod with satisfaction, it is a good day to worship ancestors.
According to the customs of her hometown, she carried a basket of fruits and paper money, as well as her own fruit salad also put it in, because firecrackers are easy to cause fires, so now they are strictly forbidden to set off firecrackers, except for poor and remote places, basically no one sets off firecrackers, but in order to continue the customs, many funeral shops have launched that kind of fake cannons.
Throwing it on the ground is also crackling, exactly the same as the sound of real firecrackers, but there is no spark, you can take it back to charge it after putting it away, and it is environmentally friendly and can be reused, so almost most people have prepared a copy of this thing.
Zuo Hao is simpler, there is a firecracker recording in the mobile phone, and it will be good for the family to listen to it when the time comes.
Because the distance is a bit far, Zuo Hao directly called a taxi and rushed over.
When I arrived at the cemetery near noon, I nibbled on an apple as I walked, and when I walked in front of my parents, the apple was finished.
The graves of the grandparents have long been moved to the countryside, and they can only be visited again every year during the Chinese New Year, after all, the road is far away and the traffic is not convenient.
There is only the grave of the parents here, and the parents are buried together, the photos of the two are wedding photos, the smile is very bright, Zuo Hao carefully arranged the items, took out the fruit salad he made and said, "I made it, give it to you to taste." β
The fruit salad comes in a disposable box with an apple and a pear on top.
The sound of "crackling" came from Zuohao's mobile phone, she put it for three minutes before turning off the phone, sat down by the tombstone casually, took out a stack of peanuts, a stack of melon seeds, and two cans of beer from the basket, and ate and drank it with such a big grin.
"Mom and Dad, cheers, you're welcome."
Zuo Hao poured down most of the half bottle of beer in three or two sips, and soon it was on his head, and his face was full of crimson.
"I heard that there is a king of Hades in the underworld, I don't know how you have been assigned, if you still remember me, just drag me to a dream."
"Not long ago, a man went to you to save your daughter, although he felt a little guilty, but he didn't feel so sad, and even now when I think of you leaving, I don't feel much, and the only obsession in my heart is to avenge you."
"Am I cold-blooded?"
No one answered, only the sparks burning in the basin, illuminating a drunkard with a crimson face.
After chattering for more than two hours, it wasn't until there was a protesting "coo" sound in his stomach that Zuo Hao got up and prepared to leave.
When I returned to the community, I was already hungry, and Zuo Hao was ready to deal with a few casual bites in a restaurant near the community, but as soon as I put things into the house, I saw two people cheering at her as soon as she opened the door.
One is Brother Long, who wears glasses and looks delicate and white, and the other man has blonde hair, and his unusual handsome appearance makes Zuo Hao unconsciously look at it twice, charming and deep blue eyes, a decent smile, and a tailor-made suit, which looks out of place in this ordinary residential building.
"What are you?"
Although Zuo Hao thinks that this man is unusually handsome, she is not interested in foreigners by nature, and she has no interest in being good-looking, but these two people just blocked her way, and she had no choice but to talk.
"Heh, good girl Zuo, this is our new neighbor, he came here from the United States to work as an intern."
This Brother Long is as enthusiastic as ever, and his honest smile is his usual signature.
"Hello, good girl left, I'm Kyle Curtis, you can call me Curtis or Kyle."
The blonde man in front of him politely stretched out his hand, and a standard Mandarin spoke from his magnetic voice, which was particularly attractive.
If you are voice-activated here, you will definitely say that your ears are pregnant.
"Hello and welcome."
Zuo Hao shook hands politely, the man's strong and warm palm made her shrink back a little uncomfortably, but the man let go of his hand without care, and continued gently, "Zuo Hao, where is this going?" β
"You don't have to call it that, it's awkward, just call me Zuo Hao, I'm going to go out and have something to do, can you let it go?"
Originally, she wanted to go out to dinner, but she was afraid that they would invite her again, so she changed her mind and wanted to leave.
Looking up, he glanced at the eyes of the two of them by the way, and Brother Long's three proverbs swiped the screen as always.
"She's so cute when she's blushing!"
"She's so shy and cute, I really want to be friends with her."
"I really want to take her out to play."
And this newcomer has only one sentence, which is still in English.
βshe is really so cute!β
She's so cute.
Zuo Hao is full of black lines, she's really not shy, it's good to drink, these two can't be perverts, isn't she anything else but cute? For example, she is also very smart and so on
"Ahem, it's really our fault to block the cute girl, please here."
The man, Kyle, turned away apologetically and made a gesture of please.
"Thank you."
Zuo Hao didn't bother to look at them twice, and went straight to the elevator.
"Dragon, your neighbor doesn't seem to like you very much!"
"Nonsense, she doesn't like foreigners, she didn't even look twice at your handsome face, tsk."
"Alas, the racial problem, innate, called me how to be good."
"Don't think about it, she's mine, let's go, help you clean up the furniture."
"Oh! Don't say that, dragon, whether the deer dies or the horse dies, maybe. β
"It's the deer who dies, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the idiom."
"Heh, even if you help me clean up my new home, I won't give up."
"Okay, who's afraid of whom."
As the two spoke, they showed a meaningful expression to each other, and then tacitly entered the room together to clean up.
At this time, Zuo Hao, who was eating in a restaurant, had no idea that he had already become the prey of others.
"Hiccup~" burped, looked at the time on the left, four o'clock in the afternoon, this is lunch and dinner together, the stomach is a little supportive, she got up and prepared to go outside to eliminate food, at this time the "jingle bell" phone rang.
This is the special bell of the police station, indicating that a case has come to her.
"Hey, Advisor Zuo?"
"Hmm."
"There's a case in the bureau, a very strange case."
"I'll be there shortly."
Zuo Hao didn't ask what the case was, she just thought that today was April 4th, the date that the person hinted at, and it would be strange if something didn't happen, but she didn't know which poor guy had suffered.
