Chapter 208: The Day Has Come
Xiang Hui smiled, nodded and said goodbye, and then staggered to the front hall to the funeral home parking lot, looking like this, Xiang Hui was really tired, and people who didn't know thought he was drunk.
After staying here for a morning, Li Muyang and Lao Dai also ran over, we will have a meal in the restaurant outside the funeral home, and then go to the old man's side in the afternoon to guard, not to say guarding, but there are some taboos and customs that need to be taken care of by us, in other words, a Mr. Geography, otherwise it will be handed over to them ordinary people, and they will only keep the spirit, and nothing else.
It wasn't until the evening that we had almost finished wrapping the paper, during which the old man's children had gone home to rest, and another group of people came to guard, and I had no time to chat with them, but in their eyes, we were like Mr. Geographer in the city.
"Let's go, go back". I looked up at my phone and said.
Everyone nodded, and Li Muyang said again: "The old man's life is the day after tomorrow, right."
"Yes". I looked at Li Muyang suspiciously.
Li Muyang frowned and said, "What time does it start?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "If it is according to the countryside, then you will leave at 7 o'clock, but now it is in the city, so it is 8 o'clock in the morning."
"I'll go, that's not good, tomorrow at 8 o'clock." Li Muyang said.
Everyone was stunned, facing this sudden question: "Why can't it".
The little fox asked suspiciously.
Li Muyang glanced at Lao Dai and said, "Didn't we go to a commission to deal with the funeral day in the morning?"
Lao Dai also looked at Li Muyang suspiciously, nodded and said, "Yes, then what."
"And then? And then on". Li Muyang waved his hand, as if to signal something, Lao Dai looked at Li Muyang in confusion, and shouted after a while: "Oh, oh, I know, I almost forgot, when I went to deal with the commission with Lao Li in the morning, the funeral date I saw was also the day after tomorrow, but it would rain from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, so we changed the funeral date to the 25th, but the old man can't delay it for so long, so buddy, what do you think."
After hearing this, I frowned and pondered while muttering to myself: "Will it rain, this is really difficult, if it is changed to the afternoon, the scorching sun is on the head, the yang is in full bloom, the yang extinguishes the yin, the yin breaks the soul, no, otherwise it will be changed to 10 o'clock"?
Speaking of which, I looked up at everyone, and asked them what they meant in disguise, Li Muyang nodded and said, "At 10 o'clock, it seems to be okay."
"You have to see the dry rain that day, if something happens, it will be troublesome." The little fox said again.
I nodded and said, "What I want is that there will be a memorial service at 9 o'clock, and the coffin will be carried to the cemetery at 10 o'clock."
"It can be implemented, but as the little fox said, you have to take a look at the dry rain that day, otherwise it will suddenly rain on the road, and it will be very bad." Sister Yu said with a frown.
Lao Dai also nodded, expressing his agreement with Sister Yu and the little fox's words, listening to everyone's almost unanimous answers, I fell into deep thought again, and said after a while: "Go back first, everything is at home, go back and look at it, now I don't have tools and I can't see anything."
"Okay, let's go, I'll leave it to you here." Li Muyang said that he looked at the relatives of the old man sitting on the side, and they couldn't accept the old man's sudden departure, among which I saw a girl, about 23, that good guy, her eyes were red from crying.
The men all nodded and didn't speak, and we got up to go home, but as soon as I stood up, I thought of something, and then immediately said, "By the way, who of you is in charge of the vigil tonight, raise your hands and see."
After speaking, the three of them slowly raised their hands, I took a look, they were all men, I nodded and said: "There will be staff here to accompany you at night, what about you, just stay here, don't run around, especially in the early hours of the morning, don't run to the front hall."
I pointed to the antechamber, and the three of them nodded and said, "Okay."
I hummed, turned around and followed everyone home, after returning home, we also rested early, the next day, the third day, because it was in the city, some customs needed in the countryside, we did not implement in the city, such as pig and sheep sacrifices, and for example, invite gong and drum makers to sit at night.
On the fourth day, I slowly woke up from the bed, listening to the crackling rain outside the window, and sure enough, I was guessed by Li Muyang, if it was a funeral at eight o'clock, it would definitely be unlucky, so we discussed it a long time ago and changed it to ten o'clock, and today, all of us put on a serious, black and white suit, Sister Yu is not wearing those good-looking little clothes, but also changed into a black dress, after all of us cleaned up, people walked out with a black umbrella in their hands, standing on the road, Those who don't know still think that we are the legendary man in black.
Wow, a fast-moving car suddenly came in the distance, pressing up a puddle of stagnant water in front of us, a few of us calmly blocked the black umbrella in front of us, and the stagnant water slapped directly on the black umbrella, Li Muyang shook the black umbrella, looked at the car far away and scolded: "Fuck, hurry to reincarnate."
I glanced at Li Muyang and said, "Why hasn't this car come yet, I won't see the address of the funeral home, and the driver won't come after taking the order."
"Wait, if it doesn't work, cancel the trip and drive yourself." Sister Yu said.
I nodded and said, "I think that if I drive my car to the funeral home, I will feel uncomfortable, maybe because I love the ambulance."
Sister Yu smiled and said, "Me too."
"Didi". As soon as Sister Yu's words were finished, I heard a horn coming from in the distance, I was stunned, looked at the place where the horn came from, but saw a police car driving towards us, I was stunned, and when the car approached us, I found that the car was actually sitting on Team Liu, Team Liu lowered the passenger window, and shouted to us: "Get in the car."
I nodded, opened the co-pilot's door, and let Sister Yu sit in the co-pilot, while the four of us sat in the back row, after getting into the car, I instantly felt a burst of warmth, Team Liu sat on the main pilot, looked at us and said: "There is water behind this, it should be hot, I thought you had passed."
I shook my head and said, "I can't get a taxi and I can't get through, I just made a Didi order, and the driver took the order, but he didn't come, I guess I was afraid."
As I spoke, I canceled the Didi trip on my phone, and the corners of Team Liu's mouth raised slightly, and said, "You are dressed properly today."
"That's for sure, although we are from the countryside, we still know the customs of this city." I spoke.
Team Liu laughed, turned around and started the car, Sister Yu looked at Team Liu suspiciously, and said, "Team Liu, didn't you go to work today."
"No, I took half a day off."
"Oh, no wonder you're wearing a suit, too." Lao Dai said.
"Then why did you just say we were dressed properly?" Li Muyang echoed.
Team Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, I said why did you two boys talk about me again, saying that you are dressed well, and you are not comfortable."
"It's not that it's uneasy, it's too comfortable." Li Muyang said.
"Yes, being praised by a big man like Team Liu, it can't be too comfortable." Lao Dai echoed again.
Team Liu helplessly glanced at Li Muyang and Lao Dai in the rearview mirror in the car, and said, "If you two don't talk about cross talk, you're all lost."
I yawned, looked at the little fox and said, "Team Liu, you are looking at the wrong person, if you want to talk about the ranking list of kung fu, this one should be the first."
The little fox was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself and said, "I"?
I didn't deny it, nodded, and Team Liu glanced at the rearview mirror in the car again and said, "What about the second."
"The second is Li Muyang, who used to talk a lot to give me a headache, and the third is Lao Dai, Sister Yu and I are emphasizing that they should get married on the spot, because of what."
"Because the two of them are too tacit, it's like a cross talk combination." Team Liu said helplessly.
