Chapter 5: Uncle, Why Are You Crying Again?
My dad's mood was like the fickle weather, just before the sky was clear, and suddenly there were dark clouds and rain.
My dad looked at me with a calm face and a solemn expression.
I hurriedly explained: "Dad, this girl was entrusted to me by someone else. The girl's background is very pitiful, fatherless and motherless, and my only relative has just passed away, so I temporarily took her in. ”
After listening to my explanation, my dad's face softened a lot, and he snorted, "I don't think you have the courage to fool me around outside." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, don't say it, I'm in the funeral business, who can look up to me?" Are you willing to give me a baby? ”
My dad blew his beard and glared: "Stinky boy, didn't your father catch up with your mother by funeral craftsmanship back then?" ”
"Can you be the same then as you are now? How realistic are girls now? The standard of marrying a daughter-in-law has long since changed. ”
After listening to my words, my dad glanced at the lovely Qiqi and put a kind smile on his face.
I could tell from his eyes that he was not disgusted with Qiqi, and he thought Qiqi was very cute.
He beckoned to Qiqi and said, "Good girl, what's your name?" Come and sit on Grandpa's lap for a while. ”
Qiqi did not reject my dad, and felt that my dad was very kind, sitting on my dad's lap with a smile and being held in my dad's arms.
Qiqi said, "Grandpa, my name is Qiqi." ”
"Qiqi, it's good, grandpa will bring you something delicious when he comes back next time."
My dad may also realize that I have reached the age when I should marry a wife and have children, but because of the funeral industry, he has been delaying his life's events.
My dad finished coaxing Qiqi, looked at me and said, "You are willing to come back and continue to take over the funeral shop, Dad is very happy." In the future, you have to work hard, and you will definitely be better than me as an old man in the future. ”
After listening to my dad's praise, I was embarrassed to say, "Dad, there is something I want to discuss with you, but I am afraid that you will not agree......"
"If you have any difficulties, tell me directly. We are a family, not two families. ”
"Then I really said it, I want to renovate our funeral parlor......" When I said this, I felt very unconfident, and I knew that I would definitely be scolded by my father.
With my father's ideology and stubborn temper, it would be good if he didn't come up and give me two crutches after listening to me.
I was waiting to accept my dad's angry scolding, but I unexpectedly heard my dad say: "Okay, this shop has been the same for decades, it's really time to change the feng shui." ”
I looked at my dad in surprise: "Dad, you agreed?" Why are you so happy all of a sudden? ”
My dad suddenly shook my hand and said, "Dad has also reflected on himself, he has been too strict with you over the years, always sticking to old ideas and imposing his own ideas on you. ”
"Now that Dad has figured it out, the funeral home will be handed over to you, you can do whatever you want, keep up with the times, or keep up with the pace of the times, just follow the same set of your young people."
"Dad is old, it's time to let go of old thoughts and give you a chance to give it a go. Do a good job, Dad will be your strong backing. ”
My father's words finally untied the knot between our father and son over the years.
I was grateful to my dad for suddenly understanding me, and at that moment I subconsciously hugged my dad and said, "Dad, I won't let you down." ”
My dad patted me on the back and said, "Good boy, you've never let my dad down." ”
Before leaving, my dad touched Qiqi's head and said, "Son, grandpa will come to see you again when he is free." ”
I dropped my dad outside the store and his nose was inexplicably sour when I saw him with his bent back.
My dad's once majestic body can only stay in the memory of the past.
When I watched him get on the bike, I thought I was back when I was a kid.
At this time, my dad seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned back to me and said, "Silently, after a while, you put down the work you are doing, let's look for a good partner in the county, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer." ”
I smiled wryly and said, "Dad, don't worry about this, let's make money first." After earning money, there are all kinds of daughters-in-law. ”
"That's not good, your life's events, Dad will check for you. Dad knows that it has not been easy for you all these years, and he has wronged you, so you don't have to worry about this matter, it is wrapped up in Dad's body. ”
When I saw my dad staggering away on his bike, my eyes couldn't help but be misty.
This is a father's love that is as heavy as a mountain!
Qiqi walked out of the store, suddenly took my hand with his little hand, looked up innocently and asked me, "Uncle, why are you crying again?" ”
I wiped my tears and said, "Sand is in my eyes again." ”
After sending my dad away, the funeral home was finally up to me.
I followed the instructions given to me by the sunglasses and began to renovate the store in a big way, changing the pattern of the funeral parlor.
The cost of these renovations was paid for by my dad out of his own pocket, and he took out almost all the savings he had accumulated over the years.
No one expected that after the renovation of my shop, it would bring a lot of business to the funeral parlor, and these are all later stories.
……
The funeral parlor suddenly began to be renovated, which caused strong dissatisfaction among some shops around, especially the wedding shop next door to my house, which had long been very unhappy with our funeral parlor.
The proprietress of the wedding shop came to the door of the store menacingly and scolded: "Can you be quiet in the decoration of your home?" It's so noisy that others can't do business, you know? ”
"Besides, your house is a broken funeral parlor, what's the use of decorating it so well?"
"It's already unlucky, and you still have to engage in such bells and whistles, your brain is broken, right?"
At this time, Da Lei happened to come back in the funeral car, and when he saw the proprietress of the wedding shop coming to the store to make trouble, he immediately got out of the car and returned the color.
"Why are you so bad,? It's all right, isn't it? ”
"Why do we want to make the store better? This is called keeping pace with the times, do you understand? ”
"We didn't decorate at night, can you do it?"
I pulled Da Lei and said, "Don't quarrel with her, you can't do it." ”
Da Lei followed me into the store, then took a look at the decoration of the store, and smiled beautifully: "Lao Chen, you kid really dare to think, do you say that this decoration can improve our business?" ”
"That's for sure, otherwise why would I bother so much?"
Da Lei asked: "No, Lao Chen, I remember that you are a person who is very afraid of trouble, why do you suddenly want to decorate the store, is there something greasy in it?" Are you cheating the old man out of money, what do you want to do? ”
I kicked Da Lei hard and scolded: "You are very smart, what do you want!" I want to improve the feng shui of the store. ”
Da Lei's face was full of shock: "Have you found someone to see Feng Shui?" Was the lack of business a problem with feng shui before? ”
