Chapter 2: The First Burning of Corpses
I pushed the coffin into the dressing room, in the morning, although I had never entered the dressing room, but I had also seen the only woman in the dressing room, Sister Liu.
Since our crematorium is not very large, the departments and staff inside are almost all streamlined within the streamlined.
There was a dressing table and chair in the small dressing room, I pushed the coffin in, and then stood aside and said to the woman who was sitting on the chair with the foundation: "Sister Liu, the family members outside say ......"
Before I finished speaking, Sister Liu had already waved her hand to signal that she knew.
Sister Liu is not very old, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, a standard charming young woman; At this time, it was almost winter, but the white coat on Sister Liu's body was fully unbuttoned three times, she sat on the chair, and I stood aside and looked only slightly lowered, and I could see the full white scenery in her white coat at a glance......
I hurriedly moved my eyes elsewhere, but Sister Liu said lightly disappreciatively: "Hmph, everyone has gone to heaven, and now I know how to please you, why did you go earlier." ”
Sister Liu muttered, and at the same time, her eyes swept over me, "Yo, Xiao Zhou, why is your face so red, are you okay?"
I secretly spoke, and said in my heart, Sister Liu, your chest is full of spring, I am still a newborn calf, can I not blush!
I lifted the coffin on the cart slightly, and the coffin containing the remains was a paper coffin (because the wooden coffin was cumbersome and difficult to burn when burning the ashes, some rich people would spend a lot of money to buy a delicate paper coffin to hold the body of the deceased, so that the paper coffin and the funeral goods could be burned together), and the coffin lid on the top was just a layer of hard paper, and as I gently lifted it, I soon saw that there was an old man lying in the paper coffin with a blue mouth and an old face as loose as noodles......
To be honest, this was the first time I had seen a dead person in my life, and even though I had been prepared for it, I couldn't help but twitch when I saw it with my own eyes!
I hurriedly turned my head sideways and didn't dare to look more, this old man's face was a little ugly to be honest, his face was almost defeated, and the living were always afraid of the dead; Although the old man wouldn't even move inside, I just didn't dare to look at it more.
Sister Liu on the side seemed to have expected me to see me like this, she didn't speak, she directly took a red rope from the dressing table, and then gently tied one end to the old man's finger, and the other end was Sister Liu tied her own finger.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Sister Liu, what is this for?"
Sister Liu looked up at me, the spring light on her chest was exposed to my eyes again, and my face turned red again.
"Silly brother, this is the rule of our industry, you don't understand it, anyway, it's good and harmless."
Sister Liu carefully dressed up the old lady with the tools used for makeup, and chatted with me with her mouth on the other hand. (At the beginning, I also wondered why Sister Liu would chat as soon as she put on makeup on the dead, but later I found out that in fact, this is also one of the small taboos, which will be revealed to you later.) )
For ten minutes, Sister Liu didn't stop talking, chatting from the south to the north until my first night was still there, and finally after the old lady was finished, I was already blushing like a monkey's ass; My coming-of-age ceremony has just passed, and the ghost wants my first night!
Sister Liu finished putting on the old lady's makeup, and then Sister Liu untied her red rope and wrapped it around the old lady's fingers, signaling that I could push the cart to the incineration room.
Seeing this, I nodded, Sister Liu is not bad, but she is too unrestrained, and my little calf is obviously a little unbearable; I pushed the cart and carried the paper coffin to the incineration room next door, where Uncle Quan was already smoking a cigarette in his mouth and holding a bottle of opened liquor in his hand.
"Come, open the furnace for the first time, take a sip!" Uncle Quan said lightly.
I glanced at the liquor, and nodded a little embarrassed in agreement, I don't get a drop of wine, this sip of liquor down, don't rush to the brain!
I quickly took a sip, and then I and Uncle Quan moved the old lady in the paper coffin to the push board of the stove (many crematories have different designs, our push board is semi-machined, the corpse is pushed to the stove and then lit up, and the ashes will gather on this push board, which is convenient for family members to collect ashes).
The old lady's body was not heavy, and after moving it to the push board according to the posture that Uncle Quan had explained to me before, Uncle Quan walked to the end of the control switch.
"Push it on!" Uncle Quan said.
To be honest, when Uncle Quan's words were finished, my hands were still shaking; What's more, just such a body that is no different from a living person (Sister Liu's makeup skills are very good, and the pale face of a dead person is almost like a normal person) is about to be burned alive to ashes, and my head is a little circled all of a sudden, and my hands and feet are not a little disobedient.
I dare to say, if it were someone else, when you looked at a body in front of you that was no different from a living person, and then asked you to push her into the stove with your own hands, and you didn't hesitate in your heart, then you are definitely a person to be a cremator!
"Silly boy, what's the daze, hurry up, don't grind and chirp like a girl!" Uncle Quan said impatiently on the side.
I gritted my teeth, and my heart was slightly certain, maybe it was the reason why that sip of liquor was on my brain, and I suddenly took a deep breath and pushed it in.
As soon as the old lady's flesh entered, the rest was much simpler; Turn off the furnace and sprinkle oil (the oil is generally diesel, and it is called a fierce when it burns!) Ignition and finally waiting to burn to ashes......
After the old lady was pushed into the stove and burned for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man dressed in linen and filial piety and the girl thanked me walked in outside the crematorium.
The girl held a delicate urn in her arms, staring straight at the burning stove, and her long eyelashes were still stained with tears.
At this time, I really saw the girl's appearance, to be honest, this girl looks like the kind of child of a rich family; The skin was white and beautiful, and a pair of eyes were as shining as the stars in the night sky, which made a little bachelor of my age a little nervous for a while.
The middle-aged man should be the girl's father, I saw him take out two red envelopes from his pocket, and then stuffed one for me and Uncle Quan, and said: "The two masters have worked hard, please don't be polite with this smoking money, I hope the two masters will take care of it a little more." ”
I don't understand what the middle-aged man said, but Uncle Quan has already been indifferent to this, and said: "This is what we should do, don't worry, stupid boy, go and add ten more minutes to the time of the stove." ”
In the face of Uncle Quan's command, I didn't hesitate much, but what made me a little unhappy in my heart was that Uncle Quan, you can call me a kid in front of beautiful women, why do you add a stupid word!
The middle-aged man said a few painless words to Uncle Quan, and then walked out with the girl.
At this time, I couldn't help but touch the back of my head and asked curiously, "Uncle Quan, what they said about being treated, is it just for us to burn for a while?"
Uncle Quan took out the red envelope and pinched it, but then said with a somewhat complicated expression: "The death of this old lady, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Hearing Uncle Quan's words, I couldn't help but be stunned, hadn't the old lady already been sent to the stove? Why did Uncle Quan still say this?
Before I could ask why, I was in the burning stove of the thunderbolt bar, but suddenly there was a crashing sound!!
