The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Finally, there was no other choice, so Yi Zhonghai found someone selling coffins overnight and bought one for them. Then they took Jia Dongxu back.

The next morning, when people in the courtyard got up, they found a coffin placed at the door of the Jia family in the central courtyard. Everyone immediately started talking and guessing who had had an accident.

At around seven o'clock, Yi Zhonghai brought Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong out of the house. Seeing that everyone was watching in the middle courtyard, he spoke to everyone.

"It's an emergency, everyone come over for a meeting."

Yi Zhonghai looked haggard. He had not slept all night. Jia Dongxu's death kept him awake all night. So he called the two uncles over early in the morning to discuss how to deal with the matter.

Liu Minghui also came with Yu Li and was also surprised to see this scene. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was gone. According to the original drama, Jia Dongxu died of a work mistake, and he died around 1961. Could it be that this was the butterfly effect brought about by himself?

Will the little locust flower still exist? Liu Minghui wondered to himself.

"Honey, why did Jia Dongxu suddenly disappear?"

Yu Li felt a little scared when she saw this scene. She pulled Liu Minghui's sleeve and said with a little fear.

"Don't be afraid, you can go to work later. I guess I will have to stay and help."

Liu Minghui knew that Yi Zhonghai held this meeting probably to ask for everyone's help, but he couldn't refuse. After all, as long as they lived in the courtyard, basically no one would refuse. After all, the person had died, and it would be unreasonable for you not to come and help.

In this day and age, people believe that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and these things are unavoidable when living in the same compound.

After everyone arrived, especially Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu came out. Qin Huairu looked haggard and her eyes were swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

"As everyone has seen, Dongxu had an accident at work last night. I have to say this is a very regrettable thing. The Jia family has lost a pillar, leaving behind a few orphans and widows."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were blurred with tears as he spoke. He was very sad about Jia Dongxu's departure and couldn't help choking up.

After a long while, Yi Zhonghai calmed down and continued talking.

"According to our courtyard's tradition, we should all help send Dongxu off, but given the current situation, I think we should all help out today and not stay in the courtyard."

That's right, originally after Jia Dongxu passed away, he would have to stay in the yard for two or three days at least. But when they thought of Jia Dongxu's miserable condition yesterday, both Yi Zhonghai and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family agreed to send him to the crematorium today.

Jia Dongxu's death was really horrifying.

"Sorry to bother you neighbors. My mom and I don't know much about these things, so we need your help."

Qin Huairu spoke to her neighbors with tears in her eyes, and then bowed to thank everyone.

"You're welcome, Sister Jia. We will help when Dongxu leaves."

A neighbor said quickly, and as this person spoke, everyone echoed that although the Jia family was not very popular in the courtyard, the dead were the most important and there was no need to bother with the dead.

Next, everyone got busy under the arrangement of Yi Zhonghai and the other two. Yi Zhonghai had asked for leave for everyone last night, and everyone except those who did not work at the steel mill stayed to help.

Although food supply was tight at that time, Yi Zhonghai still paid out of his own pocket to let Yan Bugui buy some vegetables. After all, he had to cook a meal for the neighbors who came to help.

Of course, there is no staple food, so we can only provide dishes and let everyone go back home to eat.

Although Liu Minghui didn't have a good relationship with the Jia family, he stayed to help. He let Yu Li go to work by herself. Yu Li did not ask for leave today, so she still had to go to work.

After working all morning, Yi Zhonghai arranged for people to carry the coffin. Qin Huairu walked in front with her two children crying all the way to the crematorium. When they came out, only a box of ashes was left.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai, the coffin bearer, wanted to ask He Yuzhu to come, but was directly rejected by Liu Lin, who bluntly said that this was not her relative and there was no need to do this. In the end, Yi Zhonghai could only find a few young people in the yard and paid some money to ask them to come.

On the way back, Liu Minghui and Xu Damao walked together. Xu Damao's eyes never left Qin Huairu. After all, as the saying goes, a woman should look good in mourning. Xu Damao thought that Qin Huairu was a widow now, and immediately wondered if he would have a chance to get close to her.

"How come Jia Dongxu died suddenly? And Yi Zhonghai is also a little abnormal. Who would send someone to be cremated on the first day after he passed away?"

Xu Damao's intuition told him that there was gossip here, so he immediately came to Liu Minghui and whispered to him.

Liu Minghui nodded after hearing this. He felt the same way because he knew that the steel rolling mill was arresting people yesterday. He just didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was gone, and he didn't know what happened last night.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai implied that Jia Dongxu lost his job, which made Liu Minghui a little unconvinced, but if he wanted to know the details, he needed to go to the steel mill to ask.

"I don't know about that, but the person is gone. I guess he is too sad."

After hearing this, Xu Damao nodded in understanding. He knew that Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's elderly care provider. Now that he is gone, Yi Zhonghai must be having a headache.

"I don't know why Yi Zhonghai must find someone to take care of him in the nursing home. Why doesn't he want to adopt a child?"

Xu Damao sighed and said that these were what his father had told him before. It's not that no one had noticed Yi Zhonghai's actions. At least Xu's father and Yan Bugui in the hospital were definitely aware of it. But no one wanted to offend Yi Zhonghai without any benefit, so they just reminded their families to be careful of Yi Zhonghai.

"I don't know, but your father didn't tell you anything. Logically, there should be someone in the hospital who knows."

Liu Minghui wanted to see if Xu's father had told Xu Damao anything, so he turned his head and asked.

In response, Xu Damao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Hey, I know that."

A person suddenly appeared from the side. Who else could this person be but Yan Bugui?

"Uncle, you scared me. How come you walked without making any sound?"

Xu Damao patted his chest and said that the two of them were busy gossiping and were almost scared to death by Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and could only touch his head and said, "I saw you guys fell behind, so I came over to see what you were talking about. And I didn't make any noise when I walked, it's just that you guys were too engrossed in your conversation."

Yan Bugui refuted a few words and completely refused to admit his own problem.

"Okay Damao, Third Uncle didn't mean it. Let's just listen to what Third Uncle has to say."

Liu Minghui stopped Xu Damao who wanted to continue speaking, and tried to persuade him in a gentle voice.
