Chapter 419 Funeral
Xu Ning held Mr. Xu's hand, "Grandpa, I know that Aunt Wanning has helped us a lot, and I will definitely not let her spend money."
Xu Ning looked at Xu Wanning: "Aunt Wanning, let's make the agreement Please change the amount. I will use some money to pay for grandpa's funeral. You can't pay for the funeral."
"It doesn't matter. Let's make a list of all the expenses for the funeral and record it later. Just put it in the account book. Master, if you have anything else to explain, please tell me once and for all, so I can help you."
Mr. Xu shook his head with difficulty, "Help me... take care of Xiao Ning."
After explaining the last thing. Wishful, Mr. Xu's hand dropped and he completely lost his breath.
"Grandpa..." Xu Ning threw herself on Mr. Xu's body and cried bitterly.
Xu Wanning also felt her heart tightening, and even breathing became a little difficult.
Before she knew it, Lin An was standing beside her.
His big hand pressed Xu Wanning's head and asked her to lean on his chest, "I'm here."
"I just feel sad. Someone I knew suddenly lost his vital signs."
This was not the first time Xu Wanning died head-on . , in her previous life, she also personally organized the funeral of her master.
But every time I face death, I feel helpless about fate and awe of life.
Xu Wanning stood blankly for a long time before slowly recovering.
She pulled Xu Ning up and said, "Let this uncle take you back to your aunt's house for a while, okay? Auntie will contact the funeral parlor now. After the funeral matters are settled, I will ask my uncle to take you back."
Xu Ning But he kept shaking his head: "Auntie, I want to stay with grandpa all the time. After today, I will never see grandpa again. I want to stay with him for a while."
"Grandpa told me a story before, before he died, The person who has been with me the most in the past will be more likely to meet him in the next life. I want to be my grandpa’s grandson in my next life. No, in my next life, I will be my grandpa and let my grandpa be my grandson. I will take care of him in this life. Thank you for your hard work."
This was Xu Ning's wish, and Xu Wanning couldn't bear to take it away.
"Then you stay with grandpa first. Auntie will go to the funeral parlor now, okay?"
"Yes!" Xu Ning nodded heavily, but his eyes never left grandpa for a moment.
Xu Wanning looked at Lin An, "You stay here, I'm afraid that someone will find out about the old man's sudden death later and come to make trouble."
"Okay. Can you contact the funeral home alone? Do you want me to find someone to accompany you? "You?"
"Don't worry, I can do it."
Xu Wanning knew that there was a funeral parlor on the street in front of her, and the service was very attentive.
She first went to the subdistrict office and found the relevant leaders to explain Mr. Xu's situation.
"What is your relationship with their family? Why is it not his family but you, a stranger?"
Faced with the staff's aggressive questions, Xu Wanning said neither humble nor overbearing: "My father and Mr. Xu have been friends for many years. It's just that my father is busy with work. , I can't leave my job for the time being, so I can only handle the funeral. Is there any law that prohibits people who are not related by blood to handle the funeral?" "
That's not true. It's very pitiful to be alone, but there is a house nearby, so all the best relatives in the family came to make plans for a house. Once the old man left, there was only a six- or seven-year-old child left in the family. I couldn't do anything. " Don't worry about it."
"It's nothing about the house. Their family sold the house to me two months ago, and I have the deed."
The staff member said quickly. After completing all the procedures, "According to regulations, the body must be sent away tonight and cannot stay overnight."
"I understand."
With the procedures in hand, Xu Wanning went to the funeral home again.
After all the hard work, it was already afternoon.
No one has ever set foot in the Xu family, and it looks very lonely.
Therefore, Xu Wanning called her brothers and asked the men at home to help suppress the situation.
Xu Wanning rarely asked her brothers for help, so after receiving her call, everyone except Xu Maotuan, who was staying in the hospital, arrived.
Xu Maoran looked at the simple mourning hall and banners set up in the yard, frowning, and asked Xu Wanning softly: "Aning, what is your relationship with the deceased?"
He knew that his younger sister came to their brothers for help. But they didn't expect that they would be asked to attend the funeral of a stranger.
Xu Wanning also realized that this was not good, and said hurriedly: "Brother, Mr. Xu helped me a lot, and the restaurant and courtyard were all bought at low prices from Mr. Xu."
Xu Maoran was silent again.
They have visited Xu Wanning's restaurant and courtyard house, and they are indeed good. When they first heard that Xu Wanning bought a restaurant and a courtyard house for less than 20,000 yuan, they all thought that Xu Wanning had been deceived. It was not until she took out the house deed and verified the authenticity that they had to believe it.
In this way, Xu Wanning did accept the old man's love.
Let’s put aside the prices of restaurants and courtyard houses for now. Given the current market conditions in Beijing, I’m afraid even those with money may not be able to buy such a good courtyard house.
The business of Xiaomei's Xujiapu Restaurant is so prosperous. In addition to her good management, the environment, size and location of the restaurant are also indispensable.
"And besides this grandson, the old man has no relatives in his family. Those so-called relatives are just wolves in sheep's clothing. If they come to attend the funeral, I'm afraid the yard will be torn to pieces. Xu Ning will be in the future I still have to live here.”
“Brother, I know it’s not good for you to attend the funeral of a stranger, but I really have no other choice. When I was young, I donated my own money for the victory of the war. Most of the money is worth it, but the journey has been very bumpy. Now that he has passed away, I just want to do what I can. "
But her own strength is really limited, so she can only bring her brother with her.
Xu Maoran patted Xu Wanning on the shoulder: "You are doing the right thing. As brothers, we must support you with all our strength."
"There is a younger brother!" Xu Maoning stood at the back, never forgetting to shout to himself sense of presence.
"Then I'll go do other things first."
It's midsummer now and the weather is hot. If the body is not disposed of as soon as possible, the smell of corpse will soon emit.
So after the funeral, taking advantage of nightfall, the people at the funeral home took Mr. Xu to the cemetery.
Xu Wanning wanted to go along, but was stopped by Lin An and several of her brothers.
"Aning, just watch over this kid. Don't go to the cemetery today."
