My master is invincible

Chapter 153 Yang Coffin (6)

I held the phone in a daze for a few seconds, did I answer it or not?If you accept it, according to our rules, you have to go to the funeral, or you will become disabled like Lao Wang.If I don’t accept it, I will lose millions of dollars in loss fees, and I will lose at least 10 yuan.

When faced with this kind of choice, I couldn't help but think of the scene where the elders in the main room fight their sons.My heart is ruthless. As a son, I should fight for my parents. As the saying goes, Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and people fight for their breath. As long as I am rich, my parents will have glory on their faces.

At that moment, I pressed the call button, and the voice on the other end of the phone was still the same, he said: "Chen Baxian, I wish you a happy new year in advance, and the whole family is happy and healthy!"

I said, "You too!" I was waiting for his next words.

He cut to the chase and said, "The New Year is coming soon, and I am not reserved. The hospital issued a critical illness notice. My boss' mother will die within 24 hours. Considering it is the first month, let me tell you in advance that we will arrive in Dongxing Town at noon tomorrow. The location is set at the police station, come and have a look when the time comes, and if all the conditions are met, the funeral will be contracted to you!"

I asked something, the other end of the phone hung up again, I shrugged helplessly, judging from the speed of hanging up the phone, Lao Wang was telling the truth, the so-called million funerals, more than one out of ten people on the phone.

Now that I have decided to accept the funeral, I didn't think about anything else. I put away my phone, lit the firecrackers, closed the door, sat down beside my parents, and said, "I want to go to the county seat tomorrow to give Guo Fatty's parents wish a new year."

This was the first time I lied to my parents, and I didn't know what was going on. I felt a little uncomfortable, and I stared at my parents quietly to see how they reacted.

My father looked at me, nodded, and said, "Yes, our family owes him so much money, so we should pay him a New Year's greeting. Remember to grab an old hen and send it to him. People in the county can't eat it." This kind of native chicken."

After finishing speaking, my father handed me a red envelope and said, "This is lucky money. I hope you will be safe and sound next year, and everything goes smoothly!"

I took the red envelope, said some auspicious words, and went into the room to rest, while my parents sat around in front of the TV, planning to sit until tomorrow morning.People of their generation believed in the saying of "Zuo Sui".To paraphrase our side, sitting all night on New Year's Eve can bring good luck for the next year, and my parents firmly believe in this statement.

Back in the room, I was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and I was very confused about the future. To use a line from Journey to the West to describe it, where is the way?Thinking, thinking, unconsciously fell asleep.

That night, I dreamed many things, among which the old scholar was the most. He told me in his dream that he lived a very good life in the underworld, and he was much more comfortable than in the underworld.

The next day, early in the morning, I washed up, and my parents sat at the table with dark circles under their eyes. Some melons and fruits and three bowls of eggs were placed on the table.The custom here is that we need to eat some melons, fruits and eggs on the morning of the first day of the new year, which means that the new year will be round and round, and to put it bluntly means smooth.

I ate some melons and fruits casually without saying a word.Immediately afterwards, the parents took away the melons and fruits and served some meals, because it was the first meal of the New Year, and there must be fish, which meant that there was more than every year. Our family had no money, so the fish was replaced by small crucian carp.

As I write this, even now when I think of the first breakfast that year, I feel very bitter in my heart.Take the small crucian carp as an example. Originally, my father bought a grass carp weighing five or six catties for the first meal of the New Year.Some people in the village said that our family still owes money, and we should not waste money on buying fish during the Chinese New Year. We should pay back the money owed first.

After the villager said that to his father, his father's face turned pale and he didn't answer the villager's words. He turned around and returned the grass carp to another family in the village. He was wearing a pair of rain pants. , Caught more than a catty of small crucian carp.

After catching crucian carp, my father's face was frozen black. I saw it, and my heart ached to death. I didn't dare to say anything, because I know my father cares about face.

The reason why I planned to accept the funeral was inseparable from this incident. I was afraid of being poor, and I didn't want to see my parents being talked about because they were inferior to others because of their money.

Because they are my parents, and as a child, I have the obligation to let my parents raise their heads and be a man, not for anything else, just because they brought me into this world, in order to let my parents live with honor, even if I sacrifice my life , I would too.

It’s a bit far away, but let’s get down to business. After breakfast at home, my father brought an old hen and some gifts for me to give to Fatty Guo’s parents. Parents set off some firecrackers.

After my parents set off the firecrackers and entered the room, I went around a few times and came to the grave of the old scholar. I put gifts on his grave, killed the old hen, and surrounded the grave of the old scholar with chicken blood. In honor of him.

After staying at the grave of the old scholar for about half an hour, I said something in my heart to the grave, and walked towards the main road.The road on the first day of junior high school was very deserted, and there were almost no passing motorcycles. I walked to the town alone, and it was already noon.

When passing by the tombstone shop, Ah Da was closing the shop. When he saw me, he said auspicious words first, then invited me into the shop, and said, "Chen Baxian, I am planning to go to Aozi Village to find you." , I didn’t expect you to come here, do you still remember what I told you last year?”

"What's the matter?" I was a little puzzled.

"I told you last year that I needed your help. Now that something has happened, I want you to do me a favor!" Ada handed me a cigarette.

I always remember in my heart that Ah Da beat Liu Kai for me, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come now. What did I ask him?

He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's related to your work. Are you taboo to say this on the first day of the first lunar month?"

I came to the town to attend the funeral, so if I would be taboo about these things, let him speak out.He said: "I have a distant aunt who is dying. She was from Dongxing Town when she was a child. She doesn't remember the specific village. Later, Zhan Luan went to other places. Now she is dying, so she asked her son to send her to the village. Go to Dongxing Town and plan to hold a funeral here. The Eight Immortals I know belong to you who are more upright, I want to invite you to hold a funeral, and the salary will definitely surprise you, 100 million!"

Hearing this, I gave Ah Da a weird look and asked, "Did your aunt come to Dongxing Town today? The location should be the police station, right?"

"How do you know?" He asked me in surprise.
