Chapter 274 The light goes out after death
Chu Heng came a little late. When he got here, he had almost prepared everything he needed to prepare. After he walked around the courtyard, he met with Hu Zhengwen and others He ran aside and waited for the funeral.
According to old principles, the general time for funerals is eight or nine o'clock in the morning, but now everything is kept simple, and the Mu family begins to take action as soon as six o'clock.
Under the auspices of an elder of the Mu family.
Mu Yu’s son used a new broom to lightly sweep the loose soil on the coffin, and dumped it under the kang mat. Then Chu Heng and his group of young men who temporarily acted as pole men lifted the front of the coffin a little and placed a copper coin on it. Under the coffin, the wedges on the coffin lid were finally nailed in place, and the relatives mourned loudly and kowtowed to the spiritual hub. Chu Heng and the bearers lifted the coffin and walked out.
No one waved flags, held memorial tablets, or held mourning sticks. Even the drums were omitted.
Only Mu Yu’s son and daughter-in-law and other filial relatives led the way with silent tears, while Chu Heng and other pole bearers followed closely behind, carrying the spiritual pivot. There was not even a cry during the whole process.
Like an ancient pantomime in black and white.
Under this depressing atmosphere, the group slowly walked out of the mourning shed and left the compound.
When they walked out of the street where Mu's family was located, Mu Yu's son knelt in front of the coffin and broke the "auspicious basin". Chu Heng and the others then carried the coffin onto a large truck driven by Hu Zhengwen.
Then people on bicycles and cars, and people in cars, rushed towards the crematorium.
A funeral ceremony ended so simply, as if it reflected Mu Yu's ordinary life.
But there were a lot of things to do after that, including cremation and burial. By the time we returned to Sijiu City after everything was taken care of, it was already past nine in the morning.
After Chu Heng and his group came back, they first went to the Mu family. After comforting the family, another person left some money notes, and then dispersed with sadness in their hearts. .
“Hey, from now on, there will be no one like Mu Yu in these four-nine cities.”
On the road, Shen Tian sighed sadly while riding his bicycle.
"Death is like a light going out, don't think so much." Chu Heng sighed, reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked in a different tone: "Hey, there is enough food and everything at home. Does Zhang Min have any milk now?”
“There is still food.”
< br>Mentioning his own home, Shen Tian suddenly felt bitter. He turned his head to look at Chu Heng and said apologetically: "Zhang Min still has no milk, so I can only trouble you again."
"What? It’s no trouble, don’t talk about this, buddy, it’s too pretentious.”
Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him, then his heart moved, and he suggested to him with excitement: "Well, my family is going to move to a new place in a while. It is a bungalow with a separate courtyard. When the time comes, you can bring Zhang Min to my place to eat, and I will give it to you." She needs to get more milk to eat, and it won’t take long!”
“This...can’t cause you any trouble, right?” Shen Tian suddenly thought, children have always been his biggest concern! .
"Don't worry about it, I'll make sure it's safe."
While they were talking, a T-junction appeared in front of the two of them, and Chu Heng waved to him: "Okay, I Get out now, see you later.”
When they reached the intersection, they turned around, one to the left, the other to the right, and went their separate ways.
Chu Heng wandered and dilly-dallyed all the way, and it was almost half past ten before he returned to the grain store.
When he arrived at the door, he held a cigarette in his mouth and chatted with this guy and that guy, but he refused to enter the house.
The reason why he did this was that he had a guilty conscience.
Having achieved the true King of the Sea more than ten years ahead of schedule, he is really a little afraid of his aunts’ eyes that are brighter than Monkey King.
He sat outside for a long time, and after adjusting his mentality, he returned to the shop in fear. There were a lot of guests today, and the aunts were a little busy, but when they saw him coming in, they still paid attention.
"The director is back." Aunt Sun greeted him with a smile, and then said: "Have your friends been dealt with?"
"They have been buried." Chu Heng walked over calmly and chatted with her as usual: "Are you You see, my friend’s family was crying at that time, and everyone who heard it was trembling.” "Who can't feel sad when a daughter-in-law loses her husband in her prime and a child loses his father when he is young?" Sun Mei said with a face full of regret.
"Yes, I'm only in my thirties, it's a pity." Chu Heng shook his head and sighed, not daring to talk to her any more. He pretended to look at the time and then returned to the office. .
After sitting for a while, looking at the empty seats across from him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
“I’m such a scumbag!”
Chu Heng slapped himself lightly, then took out the letter paper and started writing today’s love letter to his little Ni.
Maybe it was because of guilt in his heart that he talked a lot today, and he was so garrulous that he wrote seven full letters before he stopped writing.
"Hong, it's not that I'm unchaste, it's that girl who steals towers so well, I'm completely passive!" Chu Heng comforted himself while carefully arranging the letter paper. .
......
In the evening, the setting sun is like blood.
After Chu Heng arrived home and had dinner, he moved out the wash basin and sat with Xiao Maza in the outer room, preparing to wash the dirty clothes he had changed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down and before he picked up the soap, Liu Guangtian ran in.
"Brother, wash the clothes!" This guy squatted in front of him with a flattering face and stretched out his hand to help: "Come, let me wash it for you."
"Get out of here!"
How could Chu Heng not know his intention? He just wanted to be a lobbyist for his father. He didn't even wait for this guy to open his mouth, but he immediately blocked his words. He said: "If you are doing this for your father's sake, there is no need to say anything. First, I am not that kind." I don’t want to get involved in those bad things.”
Liu Guangtian’s face suddenly fell when he heard this, and he really didn’t dare to mention his father anymore. He knew Chu Heng’s temper very well. To be honest, if he continues to pester, he will probably get beaten.
But if he just gave up like this, he would definitely not be willing to give up, so he saw this guy's big eyes turning around, and said with a smile: "Brother, you won't help my dad." "Can you help me?"
"What's the matter? You really want to be the team leader?" Chu Heng looked at him sideways.
"No, no." Liu Guangtian waved his hand and said with a grimace: "I want to ask you to help me change my unit. I really can't stay in this steel rolling mill. If you ask me to clean the toilet, you will beat me when you have nothing to do. Look at my legs, they’re quite bruised.”
“You can consider this.” Chu Heng didn’t refuse this time. You have to give someone some sweetness when you raise a younger brother, right?
Why else would anyone want to hang out with him?
But he didn’t want to agree to that guy so easily. After Chu Heng pursed his lips and thought about it, he pointed to an empty jar behind him and said, "Go, dig some earthworms for me. I'm getting some nylon ropes now and soaking them in pig's blood I'll use it for fishing later. I'll take care of your job change. If it doesn't work, just stay somewhere cool."
Even the old man wanted to meet him again. I have asked Lian Qing to send a message and asked him to go fishing together tomorrow.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm sure it will be done beautifully." Liu Guangtian promised with a bright smile.
Compared with changing jobs, this little thing is nothing!
