And now in the face of the boss's warm invitation, I can't afford to refuse.

In the end, Minmin and I were in a state of confusion, and we didn't buy cloth, and were directly arranged by the boss to a nearby hotel.

"When you leave, just go to the store to get the cloth, and I'll take you around in the next two days!"

"Boss, in fact, you really don't have to be so polite, plus I have something to do here, so I don't need to trouble you."

"Go and order a monument, negotiate the price, and put the inscription there, we still have time to turn around, so you don't have to be polite."

The boss's kindness was really unshirkable, and in the end I had to compromise.

Because he saw that he still had something to do in his hand, he said that he would take us out for a walk in the evening, and then left first.

And because I still have to order the monument, I said to Min Min: "Min Min, I'll order the monument first, if you feel bored, you can go out and walk around by yourself, if you encounter anything, you go to the cloth shop to find the boss!"

It can be seen that the owner really wants to entertain us, and we are outside, so naturally we still need someone who can help us.

So if something really happens, I can only trouble the boss.

"Jiujiao, I'll go with you!"

"No need, it's better for you to go to less of this kind of place! Let's go out and walk around first! ”

After all, Min Min is not in my business, so it is better not to go to these places.

Min Min was very obedient and didn't say anything more, just nodded.

I explained a few more words to her and left.

Since I hadn't been to town before, I wasn't familiar with it at all.

At that time, there was not so much map software, and it was up to the mouth under the nose to find the way.

Anyway, the people at that time were still very kind, so they quickly helped me find a tombstone shop.

The rows of stone tablets at the door are very *, and the handwriting on them is straight and powerful, which is very good to look at.

Seeing this, I walked in satisfied.

There was something dark in the store and there was a depressing feel to it.

I was about to ask if there was anyone when an old man came out of it.

"Is there anything wrong with you, young man?"

I was also startled when I looked at the old man who suddenly appeared, but I reacted immediately.

"Uncle, I'm here to order a monument."

The old man looked me up and down, "Who is the young man ordering a monument to?" What do you do? ”

Looking at the old man's eyes, I understood that the old man should think that I was making a monument to my family.

In other words, he thinks that no one of my age should be able to do the work of a coffin bearer.

I can understand the thoughts of the elderly, after all, whether it is the current society or development, this industry is not optimistic.

And I didn't hide it, because I didn't want to see the old man disappointed.

"Old man, I am a coffin bearer, this is to order a monument for the victim!"

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, a strange light flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Young man, are you really the coffin bearer?"

I nodded.

"It's not easy, young man! Willing to do this errand at your age. Over the years, I have seen fewer and fewer coffin bearers, and even if there are, there are people of my age. ”

I smiled lightly, "After all, this line of work is not allowed now, and there must be a lot fewer personnel." ”

"Not only that, where are there a few young people who are willing to do this now, but you, why did you think of doing this?"

The old man looked at me with curiosity in his eyes, and he really couldn't figure it out.

"I can only say that I inherited my grandfather's business, and my grandfather was the coffin bearer in the village."

In fact, I guess the boss should also know grandpa, after all, grandpa also had to help the owner order the coffin.

"Your grandfather? What's your last name? ”

The old man's eyes began to fill with curiosity about me.

"Off!"

After listening to my words, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You're the grandson of the old man?"

After listening to the old man's words, I knew that I had guessed correctly, and the old man really knew his grandfather.

And from the title of the old man, I can feel that the relationship between the old man and his grandfather should be very unusual.

"Uncle, do you know my grandfather?"

The old man nodded, "Your grandfather's coffin was ordered from me before, and the two of us are old friends." ”

I didn't expect that my grandfather's coffin was ordered here, and I suddenly looked up to my grandfather a lot.

Because grandpa's choice will definitely not be bad, and the old man's craftsmanship must be very good.

"It turned out to be a friend of grandpa, so I'll call you grandpa too!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, your grandfather has told me a lot of things about you, and your grandfather used to think that you were more understanding, but I didn't expect you to really embark on this road now." ”

I nodded helplessly, in fact, before my grandfather's accident, I wasn't sure what I would do after that.

But when my grandfather had an accident, I got on this road and began to go further and further down this road.

"By the way, how's your grandfather doing?"

While I was thinking, the old man spoke again, and here I was asked directly about what I was worried about.

"Grandpa has been taken to Xishangouzi for a while."

Listening to my words, the old man was not too surprised, as if he had already guessed, and now it was just to confirm it.

"Sure enough, your grandfather still can't escape this catastrophe!"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

After listening to the old man's words, I always felt that the old man should know something.

"Although your grandfather has done countless good deeds in his life, but he has not had a good life, your father's business, your grandfather also told me, your grandfather knows that sooner or later he will be calculated by his own son."

Hearing this, I suddenly felt a panic in my chest, it turned out that my grandfather had long been desperate for my father.

And grandpa also told the old man in the photo about these things, which also proved how disappointed grandpa was.

I sighed with the old man for a while, and it took a long time for the old man to speak again.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, by the way, who are you here to order a monument to? Are there any requirements? ”

Listening to the old man asking about the inscription, I also reacted hurriedly and took out all the inscriptions.

"Grandpa, this time the owner is also a poor person, I hope you can help with snacks and help the old man choose a good monument."

The old man looked at the inscription and nodded, "You give me his birthday, and I will help him choose a good one, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for your junior?" ”

Tombstone as a greeting gift? It's really rare, but looking at the stone monuments in the room, I feel very harmonious.
