This exclamation immediately attracted people outside the house.

The old man's son and daughter-in-law broke into the house, and Da Lei rushed in with him.

"What's going on?"

The six-year-old girl shouted hysterically, "Grandma is just tired and asleep, don't disturb her." ”

I looked at the little girl in front of me, who looked a little round, and I couldn't help but think of the last wish given to me by the old man's ghost.

She must be the granddaughter mentioned by the old man, right?

The son of the deceased old man hurriedly stopped the little girl and said to me apologetically: "I'm sorry for your trouble, this is my niece, who grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, and may be a little reluctant to be an old lady." I'll take her away now, and you can continue. ”

"Let go of me! They weren't allowed to touch my grandmother!! ”

Da Lei glanced at me, and then he helped the old man put on his shroud with me, and waited for the coffin to be carried into the house, and then let the old man enter the coffin.

Then, we followed the coffin bearer downstairs and carried the coffin to the funeral car.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and caught a glimpse of the lonely little girl staring intently at the black coffin.

She suddenly asked aloud, "Where are you going to take my grandmother?" ”

I couldn't bear to leave the little girl like this, so I said to the old man's son, "I'll take this girl to see the old man off for the last time, so that the old man can walk with peace of mind." ”

The son of the deceased old man did not speak, glanced at his fierce wife beside him, and easily let go of the hand that stopped the little girl.

I took the little girl's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Grandma." ”

The little girl looked at me innocently, glanced at the black coffin on the funeral car, and got into the funeral car with me without hesitation.

When Da Lei saw me take the girl into the car, he said in surprise: "Lao Chen, what the hell are you doing?" Take a girl to the funeral home? Are you crazy? ”

I said, "The old man has just passed away, and this girl has no relatives around her except her uncle." This is the girl's grandmother, so let her send the old man on his last ride, right? ”

Da Lei reluctantly sat in the driver's seat and drove the funeral car to the funeral home in the town.

The little girl sat beside me very well-behaved, and innocently asked me, "Where are you going to take your grandmother?" Why did my grandmother ignore me in the morning? ”

Da Lei in the driver's seat answered: "Little friend, you won't be able to see your grandmother in the future, she is going to a far, far away place, and you will have to say goodbye to your grandmother later." ”

When the little girl heard Da Lei's words, she cried as soon as she heard it.

"Did Qiqi do something wrong? Don't even want your grandmother anymore? Woowoowoo......"

I punched Da Lei hard and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? She's just a five or six-year-old girl, don't be so cruel, okay? ”

Da Lei pouted and said, "I won't coax children, I have to coax yourself." ”

I glanced at Da Lei, wiped the tears from the corners of Qiqi's eyes, and said with a smile: "Qiqi doesn't cry, grandma doesn't want Qiqi anymore, she went to find her parents for Qiqi." When she found Qiqi's parents for Qiqi, she came back. ”

was coaxed by me like this, Qiqi really didn't cry or make trouble.

Her eyes were red, and she looked at me with an aggrieved expression, "Grandma really went to find Mom and Dad?" ”

I nodded solemnly.

Da Lei gave me a thumbs up and praised me: "Old Chen, it has to be you!" ”

"Drive your car well."

The funeral car drove to the funeral home, and the coffin bearers carried the black coffin off the car.

I led Qiqi into the funeral home, intending to send the old man on his last journey.

The cremation process in the funeral home is not cumbersome, and I can finally give myself a satisfactory explanation for the past few years in the funeral industry.

When I watched the old man's body wrapped in a white cloth and sent to the crematorium, I touched Qiqi's head and said, "Qiqi, grandma is leaving, let's say goodbye to grandma." ”

Qiqi innocently waved his hand and shouted at the corpse wrapped in white cloth: "Goodbye, grandma!" Grandma, Qiqi will wait for you to come back. ”

When the old man's ashes were sent out in an urn, the old man's son finally arrived.

He choked up and picked up the old man's urn, and then said to me, "The old man's funeral troubles you, thank you." ”

I said, "You're welcome, that's what we should do." ”

Just as I was about to turn away, the old man's son suddenly grabbed me.

"Brother, can I ask you for another matter?"

I saw the old man's son hesitating, and guessed what was going on.

And outside the funeral home, the snarky woman was waiting impatiently in the car.

The old man's son burst into tears: "I'm too unfilial as a son, I haven't come back to see my mother for so many years, but I didn't expect to see even the last one when I came." ”

"Qiqi, this child is used to living with his grandmother, I ...... I can't take her away, can I ...... Could you please take care of her? ”

"I ...... I know it's a bit hard for you, but I can't ......help it."

The old man's son pulled out a wad of money from his wallet and handed it to me, begging me all the time.

And the snarky voice came from the door of the funeral home again: "The surname is Zhu, can you leave?" Death, isn't it? ”

The old man's son looked at me helplessly, wiped his tears and said, "Qiqi, please take care of you for a while, and when I communicate with the one in my family, I will take her back." ”

Even if I don't wait for him to speak, I'm going to discuss this matter with him, and now that he offers it, it will save him a lot of trouble.

I accepted the money handed over by the other party and said, "Then I'll take care of Qiqi for you first." ”

"Qiqi, can you go to your uncle's place for a few days first? When my uncle is done, I'll take you back. The old man's son touched Qiqi's head.

Qiqi didn't have any resistance to me, and watched the old man's son hurriedly get into the car at the door of the funeral home.

I said to Qiqi: "Qiqi, for a period of time after that, I will take care of you, this is all what your grandmother meant!" ”

Qiqi raised his head, his eyes full of hope. She asked, "Grandma will come back, right?" ”

I said, "I'll definitely be back." ”

Qiqi followed me into the funeral car.

And Da Lei in the car asked me suspiciously: "Lao Chen, are you crazy?" Are you really going to take the baby back? ”

I said, "The child is pitiful, so let her live with me in the store." ”

"You'd better think about explaining it to your dad, right?"

When we got back to the funeral home, my dad was already waiting for me in front of the store.

He had gray hair, his face was full of wrinkles, his back was crooked, he was on crutches, and he looked weather-beaten.

When he saw me, he didn't say a word and went into the store.

I told Qiqi to stay in the car and not run around, and then followed my dad into the funeral home.

Seeing my dad walking tremblingly, thinking of the deceased old man I met today, I felt very uncomfortable.

Growing up, my dad didn't expect me to be very productive, and in his old mindset, he just wanted to pass on his skills from his father.

He sat in the shop, muttered for a moment, and there was no ripple in his tone: "You want to change careers?" Have you thought about it? ”
