After dinner in the evening, the white paper kite sent me home, and we had a good chat along the way, and the relationship became more intimate and the relationship was warmed up.

I also half-jokingly said to her that if you meet someone at the funeral home in the future, you must remember to contact me.

She readily agreed, and said that I would definitely become one of the best elites in the funeral industry in the future.

I am very happy to be recognized by her in my career.

And the funeral parlor has also expanded a business chain in the city because of the relationship between the white paper kite, which makes me more confident in my future career.

The white paper kite took me to the door of the funeral parlor, and when he left, he said, "When you are free, remember to tell me, and I will take you to meet my parents." ”

"Okay, then you drive slower, goodbye!" I waved goodbye to the white paper kite, and watched her BYD gradually disappear into the alley.

When I returned to the funeral parlor, Da Lei was eating noodles with Qiqi.

Qiqi saw me coming back, and hurriedly rushed towards me excitedly: "Uncle, why did you come back so late?" ”

I picked Qiqi up and said with a smile, "Uncle went on a date with your favorite paper kite sister today." ”

Qiqi's round eyes widened, and he clapped his hands happily and said, "Okay! Will Sister Paper Kite be able to be Qiqi's mother in the future? ”

Da Lei complained to me inexplicably: "Lao Chen, you kid is really unkind. I'm tired of looking for a list outside, and you actually run to date a woman? Tell you, now there is good news and a bad news, which do you want to hear first? ”

I gave him a blank look and said, "If there's a fart, don't sell it here." ”

Da Lei wiped a handful of oil from his mouth, and then said, "The good news is that our funeral parlor is saved." I got an order for a job today, and the pay is not bad. Gao is not happy? Unhappy? ”

"Da Lei, you can be regarded as doing some serious business. I also have good news here to tell you, although I made an appointment with the white paper kite today, I still took a job, and I also got the cash payment, and it will not be a problem for our funeral parlor to support it for a few more months. ”

"You kid is really good, you can take a job when you go out to soak a girl, and you can get the cash payment, I'm really convinced!" Da Lei looked at me depressedly, probably experiencing the feeling of "people are more angry than people".

"Da Lei, do you know where the white paper kite works?"

Da Lei rolled his eyes and said, "That's your girl, what does it have to do with me where she works?" ”

I said, "White Paper Kite works at the city funeral home. We never thought of expanding our business to the city, and now that we have a white paper kite in the city, it will not be difficult for us to take on jobs in the future. ”

Da Lei's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "You kid is really lucky, not to mention finding a girl to walk with you, and I can still help you in your career, which really makes me envious." By the way, did you ask me about her girlfriend? ”

I hesitated and said, "If you ask, you can't ask your girlfriend?" Let's not talk about that, what did you just say is the bad news? ”

Da Lei pondered his emotions for a moment, and then said: "You also know the job I helped us take, and it is the gang who often plays with us in the town." ”

I was stunned, at a loss, and at the same time, anger rose in my heart.

Gangzi is one of the few good friends that Da Lei and I have in this town.

And Da Lei and I have been doing funerals in the town for a few years, and I have made a rule with him that I will never accept the work of acquaintances!

In any case, this is the bottom line of our dry funeral!

Because I don't want to treat my feelings for someone close to me as a transaction, it goes against my original purpose in doing this business.

I swung my fist and slammed it at the door of the thunder's head.

Da Lei hurriedly dodged, and then explained: "Lao Chen, I really didn't mean to take this order. We've worked together for so many years, I still don't know about your temperament? ”

"I also rejected Gangzi's mother. But she knelt down and begged me, and she sent me to kowtow, how could I stand this? I took this order out of desperation. ”

"If you really don't want to take this order, then I'll call Gangzi's mother now to explain it and ask them to do it differently."

After listening to Da Lei's words, I gradually calmed down and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

I recalled the days when I used to play in the town with Gangzi and Da Lei.

Since Da Lei and I started the funeral business, the distance between us and Gangzi has become farther and farther away.

But Gangzi has never disliked our profession, and when he occasionally comes back from the city, he still calls me to drink with Da Lei.

Later, I heard that Gangzi made a lot of money doing business in the city, and he made more money in a month than others made in a year, but there have been rumors in the town that Gangzi made all the money with black hearts.

I also never believed that Gangzi was the kind of person who had no bottom line, until that day I went to the city to look for Gangzi and saw that he was surrounded by a group of people.

And he gave an impassioned speech in that group of people, like some master of successology, telling his own success story, and then making these people scramble to buy the secrets of their successology.

That was the first time I witnessed Gangzi start a pyramid scheme, and I specially reminded him that day at dinner, don't do anything that violates the law and discipline so as not to get burned.

The good times didn't last long, and in less than a year, Gangzi went to prison, and Da Lei and I haven't seen Gangzi since.

Occasionally, Da Lei and I would still visit the prison, but as the business in the funeral parlor got better and better, we gradually lost contact with Gangzi.

Later, in the town, I heard that Gangzi had a big quarrel with his family after he was released from prison, and he never returned to the town.

The news about Gangzi has been silent since two years ago, and Da Lei and I feel extremely sorry for Gangzi. After all, he was one of the few highly educated people in town.

But in the drunken city, he still lost himself, lost his bottom line, and finally went to prison as if he was reborn.

However, when Da Lei and I heard the news of Gangzi again, it was a life-and-death parting, and we were separated forever.

I was saddened by the death of my good friend, and asked Da Lei in a choked voice: "Why didn't Gangzi have it?" ”

Da Lei whispered: "It is said that it is a fight with someone, and I don't know very well. ”

"Gangzi's father heard that Gangzi died because of a fight, and he was so angry that he had high blood pressure, and he didn't even want to do Gangzi's funeral."

"If it weren't for my mother begging me, I really wouldn't have been able to take this job. Lao Chen, don't blame me, okay? When I heard the news, I was in the same mood as you. ”

"When is Gangzi's funeral set for him? Let's go see him off for the last time. ”

Da Lei was stunned when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
