"Nonsense! That's because our Brother Jiang refused to compromise. After so many years, he finally found someone who doesn't look like a country girl to him. How beautiful will the baby you give birth to be? I'm afraid it won't be as beautiful as the fairy child under the Bodhisattva's throne, right?"
The woman sitting next to him kicked him and said, "You're already talking nonsense when you're drunk before you even drink the wine. You ate the meat she got for you for nothing, and you dare to make fun of her."
Nowadays, the relationship between unmarried men and women is still quite conservative and it is not easy to joke around.
He changed his mind, shrank his head, and slapped himself on the lips, "I was just talking without thinking, sister, don't take it to heart, I'll ask Brother Jiang to deduct my salary later."
He Ruixue shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.
Seeing how easygoing she was, everyone relaxed again and continued to gossip about the two of them in front of the main person.
Even though Jiang Yanxu lives in the funeral home, he is very mysterious in the eyes of the employees. He often stays in the backyard and no one knows what he is busy with.
But he managed the place in an orderly manner and did an excellent job as emcee, and important figures often asked him to come and perform.
Occasionally, they would come across people of extraordinary status who came from far away to ask him for help, but he basically refused them. All these things undoubtedly cast a veil of unattainability over him.
In the past, they all grumbled privately about why the boss was so old and still not married, fearing that he had some unspeakable secret.
Now I finally understand. It turns out that he has high standards and has never liked any girl before.
Some people were curious and asked how they knew each other.
Cai Weimin knew the inside story very well. He started from the time when Jiang Yanxu got a strange disease and He Ruixue came to visit him.
He was so excited and eloquent.
From his tone, He Ruixue's love for her boss was profound and she never left him. She kept making promises to him during his illness... It sounded like their combined ages were not as big as their shoe size.
The two parties, facing all the admiring looks, dug their toes into the ground and left quickly after finishing their meal.
At noon, Jiang Yanxu had originally planned to sit with her and read a book, enjoying the quiet time, but suddenly a family member came to send someone for cremation, so he had to change his clothes and start working again.
Funeral homes and hospitals are similar, there are no real holidays. After all, you can't expect others to get sick and die at a specified time.
Out of respect for the deceased, He Ruixue didn't rush in to see the ashes. She just watched through the door as the family members returned with the ashes. They were all dressed in black, their faces full of sorrow.
"He just celebrated his eightieth birthday, so it's considered a happy funeral."
Jiang Yanxu stood beside her. Perhaps he had seen too many life and death separations, and his words were full of rationality and indifference.
"Don't look at his children crying sadly. They were just arguing about who would pay for the funeral and were almost fighting.
Isn't it a blessing that he can't see this scene?"
