"The number four is just a homonym with the dead word, which will make people feel unlucky, many people like six, because six or six are shun, like eight, eight directions come to wealth, fruits are the same, oranges, good luck, persimmons, all the best, are completely defined from the perspective of homophony.".

I said, "Generally the odd number is yang, the even number is yin, the number one, four, and nine all belong to the Qiangua, and four is yin gold in it, and it is also said to be yin fire, and its meaning is very unique.

Looking at Uncle Xiaolong, I continued, "The trigram is four in the gossip, the time sequence is spring, when everything recovers, the feet also return to the trigram, think about it, when your feet are on the ground, is it flat and positive? Therefore, the number four is actually very auspicious, and has nothing to do with calamity."

Uncle Xiaolong looked at me with his mouth slightly open and gave me a thumbs up silently.

I first circled around the courtyard twice, and there were several small western-style buildings in the backyard.

Qi Yi and Wu Mei each occupy a building, but the two of them are not close, one on the far left and one on the far right.

You don't even need to ask which building is who's it, there is an answer at the door.

Wu Mei lives in the innermost building on the right-hand side, and the paper figures outside the door stand in two rows like terracotta warriors.

It has to give him the feeling of being welcomed in line when he gets home from work.

On the far left is Qi Yihou's small building.

The entrance is also very distinctive, and you can smell the paste bar from a long distance.

The reason was that he had a stove in front of him.

Qian'an said that it was built according to the specifications of the crematorium, which was reduced one by one.

In order to build this furnace, Brother Hou also worked hard to get a lot of certificates, mainly used to cremate the corpses of some kittens, dogs, birds, and even small rats, as long as it was a small animal that died accidentally, it was cremated in this furnace.

"Didn't I say last night, in order to practice his skills, Brother Hou often picks up the stumps of some small animals and comes back, and after stitching up, Brother Hou is grateful for their dedication to their burial career, and by the way, they are also buried for them, and finally burned here, send them on their last journey, and the ashes will be buried under the roots of the tree outside, serving as nourishment for the earth, and blessing them to no longer be animals in the next life."

I listened quietly to Qian'an's narration.

There was an urge to bow to the little stove.

What Brother Hou did was also considered a merit.

Even the stove doesn't know how many animal corpses have been burned, and I can vaguely feel some corpse gas, my cheeks and cheeks will be slightly numb, and even Uncle Xiaolong next to me looks a little uncomfortable, "No wonder this Qi brother likes speed and passion, every day to fix these things, he has to be passionate and passionate, otherwise it will affect his physical and mental health too much."

Relieving myself, I looked at the three small buildings in the middle, "Who lives in these three?"

"Company employees."

"All employees who don't have a place to live after joining the company can live here for free, and then move out when they find a suitable place to live, but except for employees who do have difficulties in life and need to transition, most of them don't like to live here, because the two neighbors on the far left and the right will always cause distress to them."

I wondered, "What distress?"

"Brother Hou burns something smelly, who can stand the smell of Wubatu every day."

Qian'an said speechlessly, "Wu Mei is even more excessive, the paper man will be blown up on a windy day, once an employee saw a white face outside the window in the middle of the night, and he was so frightened that he shouted that there was a ghost, and later found out that it was Wu Mei's paper man who blew it out of the window and was scraped."

"The third master also reprimanded Wu Mei for this, he said that he wanted to change, so he asked Mu Feng to add a base to the paper man to prevent flying around, who knew that Mu Feng's hands-on ability was too strong, not only fixed the paper man, but also added a light bulb inside, two rows of paper man lights at night, the shadow was bright, and the company employees behind the scenes called Yin Yang Road to Wu Mei's door, and no one dared to look at it."

「……」

Incisive.

I think of the paper figure who was still silent in the cupboard.

It also lights up when you touch it!

I've been careful when I open the cabinet door this morning.

I'm afraid it'll give me another hehehe

。

Leaving the backyard, I can understand why Qi Yihou and Wu Mei are on the left and the other on the right.

The two of them are playing things that are incompatible!

One tinkers with fire, one with paper.

Last night, the two of them sat together and pinched, Wu Mei always flew with white eyes, and Gen'er was also here.

One thing to say, don't care how people don't deal with me in private, when it comes to facing me, they are absolutely unanimous with the outside world.

When I blocked the door of my room, I had a lot of heart.

If you don't accept it, you can't.

Back in the front yard, follow the stone path into the company lobby.

A staff member in a black suit came out.

Master Xu had greeted me in advance, whether it was the security guard at the gate or the staff who were looking at me from a distance in the courtyard, they were very kind to me, as if they knew me, and the same was true at the moment, and the staff called me Miss Xie very affectionately.

I glanced at his badge, his surname was Cui, and I called him Brother Cui.

Brother Cui temporarily took over as the tour guide Xiaoqi of Qian'an and explained to Uncle Xiaolong and me.

When I started walking, I realized that his legs were a little sloping, and his walking appearance was very similar to Aunt Feng.

However, this did not affect the quality of his explanations, and I understood them all at a young age.

Master, this company is a bit like a very large funeral supply store.

Brackets, professional white work.

The company has hundreds of professional teams that can be deployed at any time.

That is, we often call the white affairs team.

There are seven or eight hundred members, most of whom are disabled people who have been trained, and are responsible for playing, playing and singing.

The host of protocols is the child who has been raised by the Master.

After they work outside and start a family, even if they don't set foot on the road, because they have Huigen, they can work part-time.

In terms of ability, it can completely deal with some corpse emergencies.

In short, in terms of the overall personnel transfer, Uncle Xie has one word: take advantage.

The rest of the business is just like a normal funeral company.

Contact with the funeral home, mainly responsible for funeral services, the professional word is hospice care.

If the relatives of the deceased contact in advance, the company will order the crematorium on behalf of the deceased and send a professional to clean and dress the deceased.

Build a mourning hall, put on makeup and bury, say goodbye to the body, and purchase the cemetery, and the funeral etiquette is one-stop.

As for the transportation of corpses, cremation, and urn storage, these are all the business of the funeral home, and they are not next to the company.

The hall on the first floor is mainly for the display of urns, sandalwood, golden silk, rosewood, and jade......

Brother Cui was very patient to introduce them one by one.

My face was serious, but my heart was beating faster, and I couldn't control my mind at all.

For no reason, I will think of my father's favorite sketch lines, saying that people are like flowers in a pot, life is a mess, no matter how well the house is repaired, it is a temporary residence, and this small box is your permanent home.

Hemp.

The scalp is numb.

"Miss Xie, like this golden silk nanmu, it is very stable and not easy to rot...... Are you alright, why do your cheeks keep shaking?"

"Huh?"

I looked at him, "Trembling?"
