Chapter 181: Big Work

When Chu Yi returned to his yard, the nine members of the funeral team had already been invited by Shen Luzhu to wait in the shop, because it was the first business, and the young couple had a lot of things to explain in advance.

"There are few people on the main side, and building the funeral shed, digging the cemetery, and carrying the coffin for the funeral the day after tomorrow are all our work, and we will go over to help build the funeral shed first in a while."

Shen Luzhu reminded on the side: "This is our first business, not only the main family, but also many people in the village are also waiting to see our performance, you don't have any problems in doing work, but there are still some small things, please pay attention to them."

Everyone nodded and replied, "Cheng Boss, you just tell us to do it!"

"We're going to do the work, whatever the master tells us to do, listen more and talk less and do more, and be quick with our hands and feet, let's finish it earlier and go home early to rest."

Chu Yi also said: "If there is anything that is not in line with the customs on the master's side, let's remind it in private, but just stop it, as for whether to do it or not, it is better to listen to the master's own will."

"Also, the main family is holding a funeral over there, and the mood must be bad, so let's try to be as serious as possible when we're there. The funeral is over early the next morning, and everyone will come to the shop at home, so that we can settle the wages."

"Don't worry. Boss, let's just keep our heads down and do things!"

The little couple told everything they could think of, and seeing that the hour was not early, Chu Yi hurriedly took everyone to Fan's house, and after communicating with the Fan family, he told everyone to send someone to the Chu family's old house to find him if they had something, and then returned to their own paper money shop.

Just after lunch, the people sent by Old Man Du boarded the door of Chu's house, Shen Luzhu coaxed his fat son to go back to the room for a nap, and Chu Yi took people to Fan's house to recognize the door, and talked in detail about the funeral the day after tomorrow.

In the morning, a few people in the Fan family quickly set up a funeral shed, and helped the main family to prepare the funeral to be used in the object, each family went to have lunch, not taking care of rest, in the afternoon and followed the Fan family to dig a cemetery for the old man of the Fan family, when the evening was completed, and went directly to the Chu family's old house to go along, and the little couple talked about the situation for a whole day, before going to their respective homes.

The next day was the day when the Fan family stopped, and there was nothing to do with the funeral team, so several people stayed at home, just waiting for the funeral day to come.

On the third day, the funeral team and the band on Mr. Du's side arrived at Fan's house early, and Chu Yi also got up early in the morning to go to Fan's house, planning to go with him today, after all, it was the first transaction, not only the Fan family, but even the people in the village heard about it, they were also staring at the movement here, and naturally they had to play twelve points of spirit.

Fortunately, the cooperation between the Fan family and the young couple this time was very smooth, and the old man of the Fan family was successfully sent to the cemetery dug in advance for burial under the escort of the funeral team and the band.

Excluding the commission of the small couple, in addition to the band's share, the nine members of the funeral team each received 60 wen copper coins, although 60 wen sounds like a lot, but you must know that the salary of working in the town for a short time in the town this month is only seven or eight hundred wen, and they have only done a day and a half of work, if it is calculated, it is more than going to the town to work for a short time.

If there is more work in the future, then it will be worth it? Everyone in the funeral team felt full of energy just thinking about it!

As soon as the funeral of the Fan family was completed, many villagers who were good believers began to inquire about the funeral team made by the Chu family from all sides, and most of them asked with the intention of watching jokes, but they didn't expect things to be a little unexpected for them.

First of all, the attitude of the Fan family, they are actually very satisfied with this matter, saying that it is both trouble-saving and silver-saving, after all, if you invite relatives and neighbors to come to the house to help, there are very few people who are willing to do the work hard, but you can't urge it, please go to the house to do the work for a few days, food, wine and even accommodation, all of them have to be arranged, and everyone will be given some silver money after the end, which is simply painstaking and laborious.

But it's different to find Chu Yi's funeral team to do the work, not to mention the trouble of asking people everywhere, these people do their work quickly

Fortunately, they don't have to worry about their own family at all, where there are some negligence and omissions, they will kindly remind them.

The price was also negotiated before the start of construction, although at first glance it sounds like it is more than the copper money to help relatives and neighbors, but what to eat and drink, all do not need to prepare, not only save money but also save a lot of things, inside and out, looking for a funeral team is simply a very suitable thing.

Not only that, but there are also those who were recruited into the funeral team, who originally thought that no one would apply, but not only did someone go, but they also recruited nine people in one go, not to mention, after the Fan family's affairs were over, they all showed that they were very satisfied, and it was best to continue to do it in the future.

The people in the backing village couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This person, it's all fate! How do you feel that the little couple of the Chu family seems to be able to do anything, this business obviously sounds like it must not work, why have they opened in such a short time!"

"No, didn't the Chu family sell paper money earlier, and the old Chu family, didn't they also earn money and rush to sell it later, but no one made any money for the two of them, and in the end, they didn't all clean up their families!"

"In the early years, the good people in this village disliked Chu Yi, and they were unwilling to marry their daughters, but if you look at the current days, you want to say that the little daughter-in-law of the Chu family has a good life!"

Of course, some people still don't believe that they are not very optimistic about the business can actually make money: "This is where it is, but I only did a job once, the Fan family is not an old household in our village, there are no relatives here, he can't find anyone to help, if he doesn't look for the Chu family, what funeral team can do, just those few people in his family, when can they finish digging the cemetery?"

"Also, there are still a few people like the Fan family in this village, this time the work is done, next time you don't necessarily have to wait until when you go!"

The little couple also thought so, although the business of the funeral team was successfully opened, it does not mean that the business is on the right track, if you want to continue to make money steadily, I am afraid that it will take a while to be serious.

Unexpectedly, the Fan family's affairs had not been ten years in the past, and someone on Mr. Du's side found the shop, saying that there was a big job and he wanted to discuss it with Chu Yixiao and his family.

The words of Old Man Du's apprentice made the little couple confused, isn't it just a funeral for nothing, at most, everything is left to them to deal with, how big can this "big job" be, could it be that someone wants to buy a lot of paper money?

Chu Yi asked with some uncertainty, "This brother, the work you are talking about is the work of the funeral team?"

The man glanced at Chu Yi a little inexplicably: "That's nature, do you have any other work in your family besides this?"

"Xianggong didn't mean that, it's just that when we heard that it was a big job, we suddenly didn't react, and we dare to ask what this job is?"

Old Man Du's apprentice nodded clearly: "I only know that it is a grave moving job, and someone else found my master, and the master just said that Boss Chu should hurry up and discuss it at home, and it is estimated that you will not know until you arrive at Du's house."

Grave relocation? Shen Luzhu thought to himself, that eighty percent is the kind of ancestors who want to be buried together, so it seems that it is really a big job, so he hurriedly took the fat son in Chu Yi's arms, and told Chu Yi to go back quickly, don't worry about the family.

Chu Yi went for half a day, until Aunt Han put all the noon meals on the dining table in the hall, and Chu Yi was not seen.

Aunt Han has been cooking in the Chu family's old house for almost a year, Shen Luzhu originally planned to wait for the confinement and cook by herself, but the novice A-Niang underestimated the tiredness of watching the child at that time, even if Zhengzheng was already a child who was not troublesome, Chu Yi and Xiuxiu at home often helped her take care of it, but just feeding her fat son was also a lot of physical work, so she discussed with Aunt Han and asked her to help at home for a while.

Everyone in the Chu family sat in the hall and stared for a while, Shen Luzhu saw that Chu Yi had not come back, he was afraid that Chu Li would be hungry, so he hurriedly said that he would not wait, and gave some to Chu Yi Wen on the stove, and everyone ate first.

It wasn't until Shen Luzhu accompanied his fat son and slowly woke up from a nap that he found that Chu Yi had entered the house at some point, and was sitting on the edge of the kang watching their mother and son distracted.

"When did you come back?" Have you had lunch?"

Chu Yi rubbed his wife's hair, which was still a little messy because she had just woken up, and explained softly, "After eating, when I came back, you and Zhengzheng had already fallen asleep, and Ah Li said that you left a meal for me, so I went to eat before I came over."

"That's good, how about it, what did Elder Du say, but it's going to be buried together or something?"

Chu Yi shook his head and replied: "No, there was a family surnamed Bai in their village before, and it used to be a big family in the village, but the life has not been very rich, in the early years, the son of that family had the idea of fighting, took the family's only savings, and went to the south to do a small business, who knows if he really called it done, and then he took the whole family over, and now it is enough for many years, and the life of the Bai family is getting better and better, a few days ago, he directly brought a fortune teller back to the village, It is said that he directly contracted a place with excellent feng shui, and planned to move the graves of all the ancestors of the Bai family to that place."

"All the ancestors of the Bai family?" Shen Luzhu's eyes widened directly after hearing this, it seems that she still underestimated the so-called "big" word of Old Man Du's apprentice!

Chu Yi looked at his wife's reaction and remembered that when he first heard about it, he was also shocked: "Well, there are a total of eight cemeteries for the ancestors of the Bai family, and they all need to be moved."

"That's a lot of work!"

"Indeed, the Baijia also listened to the words of the fortune teller, saying that it was such a big move to move the grave, and everything had to be done in accordance with the official funeral customs, so they found Old Man Du, hoping to help produce a band with a larger number of people to send the funeral, plus the Bai family only came back this time with three grandchildren to handle it, so they wanted to ask Du Lao to help recruit some peasant men in the village, and then help move the grave, Du Lao took the opportunity to recommend our family."

Shen Luzhu is naturally happy to be able to do a big job, but this order is a little too big all of a sudden.

"There are so many graves, there are only nine of us, I'm afraid we can't eat this work ourselves!"
