72 Memorial ceremony

Although I knew that the cancer was at an advanced stage, it was inevitable to go, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly. 【】Xu Zihao was stunned for a long time before returning to Xiaokai's ward, talking to his parents casually, and then leaving the hospital.

Xiao Yu didn't know what happened to such a big incident, but she didn't have a mobile phone, so she couldn't contact her directly.Xu Zihao thought for a while and called Fatty. He had no reason not to know about this matter.

When the phone was connected, Xu Zihao got straight to the point. The fat man replied, "I'm at the funeral home now, um, my sister is here too. Do you want to come over? Okay, then you can come."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zihao directly hailed a taxi and rushed to the funeral home.I got out of the car, walked a few steps, and came to a row of bungalows in front of me, separated by green sheds in front, one for a family, with a white obituary posted on the door.

Xu Zihao looked for it by the name in front of the door.Looking in from the outside of the shed, there are more than a dozen tables of mahjong inside, and the innermost one is a one-story house with coffins and altars.At the door of the bungalow, there was a table, and an old man wearing glasses recorded the names of the guests and the amount of the ceremony.

There are loose cigarettes and melon seeds and peanuts on the table for the guests to eat.The atmosphere in the tent did not appear to be oppressive, but rather lively due to the continuous sound of mahjong.However, the atmosphere in the mourning hall seemed a little heavy. After all, the dead were the most important, and everyone came to help watch the night, and they would not make any noise.

Fatty, with a filial cloth on his head, looked a little listless sitting at the table, looking at the mahjong table from time to time, those adults "piled the Great Wall".

When he saw Xu Zihao at the door, it was inconvenient for him to shout loudly, but he stretched out his hand to greet him and signaled him to go in.

Xu Zihao nodded and walked in. He didn't know the people around him, but he recognized two people, one was Xiao Yu's father, and the other was Fatty's father.The two were discussing arranging dinner for relatives and friends and other matters of the funeral home, and they didn't notice him.

And he himself didn't want to bother him, so he went straight to Fatty.

"Brother Hao, you are here."

"En. Where's your sister?" Xu Zihao nodded.

"In the mourning hall, papers are being burned all the time."

"How is she these two days?" He was not in a hurry to go in, but asked about the situation first.

"It's not very good, I didn't say a few words. I went to my aunt on the second day of our exam, and I was able to talk and laugh, but I didn't expect that when I went after the exam, I would be dead. That day I My sister was crying all the time and couldn't be persuaded, and then she didn't say anything, she was bored by herself."

"En." Xu Zihao nodded again, took out a stack of money from his pocket, counted out 500 yuan from it, and handed it to the bookkeeper, "Xu Zihao."

The fire burned most of the house yesterday. He was afraid that some trouble would happen again, and it would not be safe to keep the money at home, so he simply brought it out, which happened to be useful.

Seeing him coming to give the funeral ceremony, the fat man's narrowed eyes suddenly widened at him.Even the bookkeeper couldn't figure it out. He thought it was just a big fat classmate coming to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to give silk money, maybe it was a gift on behalf of the adults in the family. He adjusted his glasses and raised his pen and asked: "Is it brother Li's friend or from the Wang family?"

In addition to recording the name of the gift giver when recording the memorial ceremony, there must also be a note to know which side the friend is from. Sometimes there are too many people, and even a separate record is required to facilitate the return of the gift in the future.Xu Zihao thought for a while and said, "Friends of Li Qiaoyu, let's write like this."

Mr. Bookkeeper seemed incomprehensible, and Xiao Yu had just graduated, so how could he have such a wealthy friend.The other group of friends will only give 51, and if you have a good relationship, you can give 500.But it's really strange that the kid in front of him who hasn't even grown his hair yet took out [-] at once.But he didn't like to ask too many questions, he just wrote it down as he said.

It happened that this was Xiao Yu's father who had also finished dealing with the matter over there and came over. He happened to reach him and said to him, "Xiao Xu, you are here."

"En. I just found out about this today. It's too late. I'll go and offer incense sticks to my aunt."

"Okay, let's go. Talk to Xiaoyu again, she hasn't said anything for several days." Father Li patted him on the shoulder lightly.

Xu Zihao nodded, walked into the mourning hall, and saw Xiaoyu wearing white filial piety, squatting next to the brazier burning Mingqian, beside an old man sitting upright with a majestic face, he just nodded slightly when he saw someone coming in.

Walking to Xiaoyu's side, I saw her eyes with heavy dark circles, staring eyes, and haggard complexion.Xu Zihao squatted down beside her and patted her lightly before she raised her head slowly.Seeing Xu Zihao couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'll come. I didn't know about it until I went to the hospital today. Why didn't you tell me?" Xu Zihao wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

"I, I forgot, don't be angry." Xiao Yu lowered her head in embarrassment, and continued to throw Mingqian into the brazier.

"I'm sorry, I'm not blaming you. Tell me about anything in the future. Don't be too sad, people always leave. If you are like this, your mother will be sad too." Xu Zihao said After wiping her wet eyes with her hands, she took out three incense sticks from the altar and burned them for Mama Li.

This afternoon Xu Zihao stayed by Xiao Yu's side all the time, talked to her a lot and comforted her for a long time.It's just that her words were obviously much less, but her complexion was not as difficult as when she first met her.The old man sitting in the mourning hall is Xiaoyu's grandfather. Some of the people playing cards outside are friends of Li's father, some are Li's mother, and some are friends of Dafa's father. There are many people, and there is nothing small. child.

He and Xiao Yu sat at the table chatting, but Xu Zihao continued to talk, and after talking for a while, even he was a little speechless.From time to time, relatives and friends from the two families would come to give silk money, and suddenly a person who looked familiar came up, wasn't this the detective.

The detective didn't recognize him, and after delivering the silk money, he walked into the mourning hall by himself. Xu Zihao looked at Xiao Yu and asked in a low voice, "Is this person also a friend of your parents?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, and the big fat guy next to him replied, "He's my dad's friend, from the province."

"Your father?" Xu Zihao was a little curious when he heard it. How could his father have a detective friend, so he asked, "Your father is a policeman?"

"No, my dad is a lawyer."

"Oh." Xu Zihao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Li's father came over, and Xiao Yu was not as bored as before, and his mood seemed to be much better. It turns out that this child is really Xiao Yu's boyfriend.

Father Li was addicted to cigarettes, so he went to light the cigarettes on the table, thought for a while, then picked up another one and handed it to Xu Zihao: "Xiao Xu, do you smoke?"

Xu Zihao was in a dilemma, he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.To be honest, he has wanted to smoke for a long time. Although he is not very addicted to cigarettes, he still has to smoke a few cigarettes every day. It does not mean that he is particularly addicted, but he just wants to have one when he thinks about it, especially if he is free to chat. when.It's still very uncomfortable to stay with me this afternoon, but I haven't smoked a cigarette.

After thinking about it, he still took the cigarette. To be a man is to be honest, and it's no big deal for a man to smoke a cigarette.Take the cigarette and light it yourself.

Seeing the old and the young smoking so much, Xiao Yu didn't say anything, and Big Fatty was doing it beside him. In fact, he wanted to smoke too, but his father was also in the shed. If he was allowed to smoke by himself, he would return home Don't pump yourself all the way with the leash.

When the adults around you treat you as an adult, you will also think that you are already an adult.So when Xu Zihao started smoking in front of so many grown-ups, he seemed less reserved when talking to Father Li.Li's father smoked cigarettes when he was a junior, and he is also an old smoker, so he didn't think it was a big deal for this 16-year-old kid to smoke.

On the contrary, the old man in the mourning hall looked a little unhappy at this scene.

It was almost time for dinner, Ximen Feng called suddenly: "Xiao Hao, where are you, come out to have a meal."

"Oh, then I'll come here later." Xu Zihao was about to leave, but he just had a suitable reason. After all, he is an outsider and he doesn't build the Great Wall, so it's not appropriate for him to sit here all the time.As for Xiao Yu's state, it might be fine after a while.

Xiao Yu looked at him and said very understandingly: "Go ahead if you have something to do. I'll send you to the crematorium after the memorial service tomorrow morning. I'll call you after these things are over."

"Well, sleep for a while if you can at night, don't stay up all the time." Xu Zihao felt a little distressed by her like this, comforted her a few words, greeted Li's father again, and walked out.

Father Li nodded, opened the ledger, and found that Xu Zihao had given the memorial ceremony. He felt a little surprised, and when he counted again, he was stunned for a while.He looked up at Xu Zihao who had already walked out of the shed, and began to look at the child again in his heart.

.

Xu Zihao took a taxi and called Ximen Feng to ask for the location.This time, the restaurant’s specifications are not as good as those of Yuan Hotel, but there is a signature dish, the special plasma duck, which has won awards throughout the country, so it is quite famous in Sankai City.

When Xu Zihao arrived, Ximen Feng and Pan Yan had already arrived in the private room.Xu Zihao went in and sat down, and he was not restrained. Instead, he took out a pack of King Furong and handed Ximen Feng the cigarettes.Pan Yan was used to seeing him smoking, so she just walked over to open the door.

The two of them gasped for a while before Xu Zihao asked, "Brother Feng, why do you think you're going out for dinner today?"

"Two points. One is that you finished the exam and came out to celebrate. The other is that the video was uploaded, and the effect was quite good. I heard that your school is also investigating this matter, and the yellow dog's wife is also investigating this. thing."

"Is the yellow breed dog not far from being expelled?" Xu Zihao said with a smile.

"Then there's no need to expel him. He has no face to stay in school."

"That's true. I don't know what his wife is going to do with him."

"I don't care about that, anyway, he's having a hard time." Ximen Feng laughed and said again, "Xiao Hao, now that you've finished the exam, have you thought about doing something during the summer vacation?"

"Of course I've thought about it. It's been planned a long time ago. I have to work first during the holidays." Xu Zihao nodded and said.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Pan Yan couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard her say that, because after most people finish the exam, their ideal is to have a good summer vacation without homework, not to think about anything, just to play.

"I don't want to wait any longer, let's find something to do first."
