Coming out of Section Chief Li's office, Xu Dong explained his work and drove straight to Panjiayuan.

In addition to attending Uncle Liu's funeral in the afternoon, he also had to visit several other sick colleagues, and Section Chief Li's meaning was very straightforward, that is, he was asked to buy people's hearts.

Since it is to buy people's hearts, Xu Dong needs to bring his own gifts, and Corey will not be reimbursed anyway.

What should I bring as a gift?

After some careful consideration, Xu Dong felt that tobacco and alcohol were not suitable, and finally decided to bring a pound of dried shrimp per person, and a pound of dried shrimp cost thousands of yuan, which was definitely a heavy gift.

took five catties of dried shrimp, and 20,000 yuan from Section Chief Li, which is not the company's money, but the money of his colleagues.

Section Chief Li, as the leader, wrapped up 4,000 yuan, and the others all paid 2,000, which added up to just a whole number.

As the so-called people go to tea and cool, compared with when Xiang Xin got married, this gift money is less than half.

Uncle Liu's funeral was chosen at the funeral home in the eastern suburbs, the distance was not too far, Xu Dong drove for half an hour to arrive.

There were a lot of people in the funeral home, and Xu Dong searched for a long time before he found a vacant parking space.

parked the car and made a phone call to Uncle Liu's son Liu Yuxiang, who personally ran over to greet him.

"Brother Liu, the festival is changing." Xu Dong immediately sent condolences.

"Thank you for your concern, I'll take you to the auditorium, the memorial service is about to begin."

Liu Yuxiang looked calm, after all, it had been almost a week since his old father died, and no matter how great the grief was, it had been alleviated.

The two walked and talked.

Xu Dong said curiously: "Brother Liu, Uncle Liu has been dead for so long, why is there a memorial service now?" ”

It's already April, and the daytime temperature has already exceeded more than 30 degrees, which is really not suitable for parking the body for a long time.

"I also want my dad to settle in the ground as soon as possible, but there are too many people queuing up here, fortunately I found a relationship, otherwise I might not be able to get in line this month."

"Are you so nervous?" Xu Dong looked stunned.

Liu Yuxiang nodded, obviously unwilling to say more.

When I came to the auditorium, there were already quite a few people gathered inside, and it seemed that there were at least twenty people, mainly relatives.

Xu Dong hurriedly sent a share of the money.

The next process was very simple, all the staff observed a moment of silence for three minutes, and then Liu Yuxiang said a few words of thanks, and finally bowed to the statue three times.

Xu Dong looked at his watch, and it didn't take more than ten minutes before and after, in short, everything was simple.

After the memorial service, Liu Yuxiang personally sent Xu Dong to the parking lot.

"Brother Liu, this is a little bit of my heart, you can take it back to make up for your family, Uncle Liu is gone, you relatives should take care of your health."

Looking at the bag of dried shrimp in his hand, Liu Yuxiang was very moved, since his father's death, this is still the heaviest gift he has received.

"Then I'll be cheeky and take it."

"It's serious, Uncle Liu's funeral expenses and pension, Brother Liu, if you have time here, you should go to the company as soon as possible to go through the procedures." Xu Dong reminded.

"Thank you, I will."

……

After leaving the Dongjiao Funeral Home, Xu Dong adjusted his mood, and then rushed to the nearby Yanjing Jingai Hospital, where his colleague Sister Feng is currently hospitalized.

After asking for directions, Xu Dong quickly found the ward where Sister Feng was.

The ward is not large, only about 20 square meters, but there are a full eight beds, and only a narrow aisle is left in the middle.

Xu Dong walked down the aisle to a hospital bed in the innermost part.

Sister Feng was on a drip, her face was much haggard, and there was a young caregiver next to her.

Depending on the age, it is either a daughter-in-law or a daughter.

"Sister Feng, I've come to see you." Xu Dong said softly.

Sister Feng looked up at the comer, although Xu Dong was wearing a mask, it was not difficult to recognize:

"Xiao Xu, why are you here, sit down."

The young woman on the side hurriedly gave up her chair, and Xu Dong shirked it and sat down.

"Sister Feng, I brought you some dried shrimp, you can taste it later." Xu Dong put the bag on the side of the hospital bed.

"Come on, bring something!" Sister Feng "blamed".

The young woman on the side took the opportunity to ask, "Mom, who is this?" ”

"Oh, this is a colleague from the same department as me, you can call Brother Xu directly!" After Sister Feng finished the introduction, she looked at Xu Dong and said, "Xiao Xu, this is my youngest daughter, also surnamed Xu, called Xu Xiaojie." ”

"Brother Xu is good!"

"Xiao Xu, hello."

After the two greeted each other, Xu Xiaojie excused herself to go out to fetch water, took a hot water bottle and left.

"Sister Feng, are you feeling better?" Xu Dong asked.

Sister Feng nodded: "It's much better, I can be discharged from the hospital in a few days." ”

"That's good, everyone is looking forward to your return!"

After some politeness, Sister Feng suddenly asked, "Xiao Xu, has your sister Gao contacted you recently?" ”

Gao Yuemei, Xiang Xin and Sister Feng are the only three female employees in the security department, and they usually have a good relationship.

"Didn't get in touch, what's wrong?" Xu Dong replied that except for the evacuation of overseas Chinese, Xu Dong rarely took the initiative to contact Gao Yuemei.

"It's okay, I've messaged her several times in the past few days, but I haven't received a reply." Sister Feng said worriedly.

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone and tried to contact Gao Yuemei, but there was no response.

"Maybe I lost my phone, right? You can't reissue a phone card over there. ”

"It's also possible what you said, alas, I didn't expect an old friend of decades to break it off." Sister Feng said wistfully.

Xu Dong hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Feng, when the drought is over, maybe Sister Gao will come back to visit relatives, and I will see you then." ”

"I hope so, I wonder when this drought will end?"

"There will definitely be an end of the day." Xu Dong could only comfort him like this.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Xiaojie came back from fetching water, and Xu Dong offered his farewell.

Xu Xiaojie sent people to the door of the hospital very enthusiastically before returning to the ward.

"Mom, what is this colleague of yours doing at home? It's so generous, I actually sent so many shrimps. ”

Sister Feng replied while rummaging with the shrimp: "The family is a rich second generation, and the family runs a company, so there is no shortage of food." ”

"Is he married?"

"Don't beat people's ideas, his children are in elementary school." Sister Feng said depressedly, her daughter is almost thirty years old, but she doesn't get married, which is her biggest headache.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't let go of her daughter, she might have really left this time.

"It's a pity, I want to find someone who can eat meat every day to get married." Xu Xiaojie said with a wistful expression.

"If you want to be beautiful, why did you go earlier?"

"Okay, Mom, what are you going to do with these shrimps?"

"You two sisters are half of each other!"

"How can this work, the eldest sister didn't come over to accompany the bed, why give it to her?" Xu Qin was not convinced.

"Your sister has to take care of the children and work again, do you think everyone else is as idle as you?"
