163.Chapter 163
I said 'um', feeling a little relieved, if I guessed correctly, Boss Yu married so many wives, it should be a matter of heirs. His eldest wife's eldest daughter is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his youngest son is only five or six years old. In other words, in the middle twenty years, his eldest wife never gave birth to a son for him, so he married several wives.
Thinking of this, I was about to walk up, Yu Qian shouted and waited, I asked her suspiciously, "What else is the matter?" ”
"I see that you like to drink coffee, this bag of coffee is for you, it is a gift for the New Year!" As she spoke, she handed me a large bag of coffee, and counted dozens of small packets inside.
I was stunned, but I was not polite, and reached out to take the big bag of coffee. To be honest, I don't particularly like this coffee. The reason why I took it was because I wanted to give this coffee to my parents, who had lived in the countryside all their lives, not to mention foreign gadgets, and even some food in the provincial capital was rarely eaten.
I said 'thank you' to her and left the room, taking note of Yu Qian's kindness.
Back in the room, my first call was to Lao Wang, the phone rang for a long time to connect, Lao Wang's voice was a little confused, should be sleeping, he asked me, "Jiu Yanzi, don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the matter with calling me?" ”
"I've got a million funerals." I say.
"What? Your father said you went to the county seat, why did you go to the town to pick up the funeral? I told you not to go to the funeral, are you crazy about money! His voice was furious.
"Let's not talk about this for the time being, Lao Wang, is there a phone number from the funeral band?" I asked.
"Nope! Who wants to go to the funeral in the New Year's month. He said angrily.
"Lao Wang, the funeral has been accepted, and even the contract has been signed, even if you regret it, it's too late, you give me the phone number of the funeral band. In addition, you can ask Widow Liu for me, and see that she is willing to come to the town to be a cook, and her salary is ten times the usual! ”
"Nine Boys, you... You... You" The other end of the phone was silent for a while, sighed a long breath, and said: "138XXXX, this is the phone number of Lao Li of the funeral band, he has seven or eight bands under his hands, the price is quite fair, and he will not kill people indiscriminately." As for Widow Liu, I'll go to her house and ask later. By the way, in terms of the Nine Ladies and the Eight Immortals, who are you going to look for? I'll tell you again, what I told you on the day of the New Year is all true, many people in our circle know it, it is estimated that few people are willing to go, you have to be mentally prepared. My son took the college entrance examination this year, and I was afraid that carrying the dragon coffin would bring bad luck and affect my son's results in the college entrance examination. ”
"It's okay, I know it in my heart, when Widow Liu is willing to come, you give me a call, if you don't want to, you can also call me, I can find someone else." I'm really sorry to tell you about the funeral during the New Year! "I was rather embarrassed to say,
To be honest, I don't want to call Lao Wang, he is more taboo about the funeral of the first month. However, there is no way, ordinary funerals, trivial matters such as inviting people are all handled by Lao Wang.
The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and said: "Jiu Yanzi, we are next-door neighbors, and we have a little kiss, so you can see the outside." Now the question is, what are you going to do with this funeral? In the Great New Year, not only will many Eight Immortals not go, but even some of those who help, there are many people who are unwilling. ”
"Not really! When I took the funeral today, didn't you see that scene, all the eight immortals in our town went, and even the eight immortals from several towns next door ran over. ”
"Huh!" Lao Wang sneered, "One million is used for funerals, it's no problem to invite people, what if those people have an accident while doing funerals?" Broken hands and feet? Who loses money? How much money do you have to pay others? ”
When he said this, I was a little confused, what if something happened? I asked him, "What now?" ”
"You even signed the contract, what can you do? The only way to do it is to do it head-on. In terms of etiquette, we must do our best sincerely, try not to have accidents, as long as the deceased is sent to the mountain for burial safely, it will be a blessing. ”
Later, the two of us chatted for a while, and Lao Wang told me who to invite for a grand funeral, what ceremonies to perform, and how the scene should be handled. I talked about it for about 20 minutes, and it was all about the funeral.
After hanging up the phone, I sat on the bed in a daze, this million funeral, looks very glorious, by Lao Wang said this, I have no bottom at all, and even regret taking this funeral.
After staying in bed for about ten minutes, Lao Wang called again, and he said: "Widow Liu will go to the town early tomorrow morning, and will bring a few women from the village to help. ”
I was a little stunned, that Widow Liu has always regarded money as her life, and this time she would take the initiative to ask for a salary cut, which is really abnormal, so I asked Lao Wang, why.
He said: "Widow Liu sees that you are usually good to her, and she will call her when you have a job, and she can be regarded as repaying you this time." ”
I didn't say anything more, as for the salary, I said that if I gave ten times the usual amount, I would give ten times the usual amount, and I would not give it because she didn't want to say so much. After all, it must be unlucky for people to do funerals in the New Year's month, and if they treat others badly in terms of money, how can anyone be willing to help.
Afterwards, I beckoned Lao Wang not to let my parents know about the funeral, and he said, "You can handle the funeral with peace of mind, and I will make a good excuse for you on your parents' side." ”
Hanging up Lao Wang's phone, I made a phone call to Lao Li in the band and told him about some of the main family's requirements. Lao Li said that he was willing to arrange a 32-member band for me, and the salary was three times that of usual, and since it was the first month, the red envelope also needed to be increased.
I didn't think about it and agreed, this funeral, to put it bluntly, money is not a problem, I am afraid that people will not come, as long as people come, it is guaranteed to be satisfactory in terms of money.
After contacting the band, I called the senior guy and asked him if he would like to have a funeral in the New Year.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Chen Baxian! This call is yours, and I will go. If it was replaced by someone else, Lao Tzu would not only not go, but also scold his ancestors for eighteen generations. ”
I understand what he means, our group of eight immortals are somewhat similar to Lao Wang in temperament. Therefore, in terms of taboo things, it is the same as Lao Wang. The reason why I called Gao Lao was that I felt that there was a lack of backbone around me, and Lao Wang couldn't express his position, so I had to pin my hopes on Gao Lao.
I thought that Gao Lao would have some rhetoric, but I didn't expect him to agree so refreshingly. As for the reason, I understand it very well in my heart, just because I am Chen Baxian, just because I am Chen Jiu, and because there are so many funerals, there are no major problems, he chooses to believe me selflessly.
However, I am not sure about this funeral. I was afraid that I would live up to the trust of the senior guy, and I was about to say something, but the senior guy spoke again.
