When driving out, there were two VIPs sitting in the car;

When driving back, there were two bottle of VIPs sitting in the car.

Although the funeral was a bit simple, it could even be called scribbled, but when he returned from the incineration, the sky gave him face and it started to rain, which helped Jeff and Mr. Mossang to set off the atmosphere of saying goodbye to this world.

Karen looked at the urn in front of her, and sure enough, those jars in the basement cannot be used to pickle pickles!

The ashes that have just been incinerated are hot;

So sometimes, in order to hurry up, the family will bring the jars in the basement to pack, and after they are packed, they will be put into the urn with the label of the company at home;

Jeff's urn needs to go through the final procedure and put it into the cemetery in the welfare list area, and none of Mr. Mosan's children are willing to take over his urn;

The price of a normal cemetery, even if it is not buried, is not low, so they would rather spend an extra sum of money to help the Inmelles family to clear up the relationship, so that their father can "grab" a benefit.

so,

Essentially,

Jeff rubbed Mr. Moissan's funeral and lay down;

And Mr. Moissan,

It will also rub Jeff's welfare bill;

If nothing else, the two's urns will be placed in two adjacent spaces after they are sent to the Welfare Cemetery together.

also good,

If you are lonely,

Can smash each other's "walls" with their skulls.

Cullen was still thinking about the cost price of the urn that old Darcy said, and asked Uncle Mason who was driving with some curiosity:

"Uncle, how much profit does our coffin make?"

"Ordinary coffins are about double the profit, and specially made or specially designed, the profit can be doubled or tripled;

Some decent people who worked in the government would choose to be solemn and restrained;

Those with noble titles and wealthy families will customize luxurious coffins belonging to nobles according to their family traditions, and will also engrave their family emblems on them.

It is much simpler for the nouveau riche, they like the most resplendent.

By the way, there is a special coffin selection color book at home, there are more than 200 types of coffins on it, if you are interested, you can look it up when you go back.

Oh, the above listed prices are basically five times the purchase cost, and when we sell to customers, we will give customers a 'discount'. "

several times the profit,

Karen was thinking in her heart,

That's okay, it's not as exaggerated as the urns in the Hughes Crematorium. They sell for 1,000 at a cost of less than 50, twenty times the profit!

Coincidentally,

Uncle Mason also opened the chat box, just taking the previous incident as an example:

"Don't think that our profit is not as exaggerated as the urns of the Hughes Crematorium, but how much do they sell for one urn even if they double it?

Our most basic coffin is 10,000 rupees.

In addition, we are not the same customer base as theirs. Here, the people who are finally sent to cremation are...well, they are all inferior customers, but they are their main customer base.

They burn corpses there every day for a month. We only need to make three normal orders to make profits equal to them.

Of course, Mr. Mosan is not a normal customer. "

"Did Uncle think about expanding?" Karen asked.

Mason shook his head and said, "I failed to invest and added leverage. By the way, do you know what leverage is?"

"knowledge."

"Well, it's good to know; in short, I'm sorry to tell you, my poor nephew, your grandfather's money, which is the part of the inheritance you can inherit in the future, because your unsatisfactory uncle has shrunk a lot. "

paused,

Mason added:

"Don't be mad at uncle."

According to the tradition of Ruilan Kingdom, the eldest son is generally responsible for inheriting the family business, and the youngest son goes out to explore.

Therefore, from a customary point of view, Karen, the eldest grandson of the eldest house, should be the future speaker of the funeral society, and Mason, at most, can share some money or share, and he has no right to speak.

"I don't blame you, uncle."

In the memory of the last "Karen", there has always been a good impression of this uncle.

Through the contact of more than half a month, Karen also found that although Mason "loves to be lazy" and "flowery mouth" is also greedy for money, he has many faults, but these faults are actually common to ordinary people;

But most importantly, Mason's attitude towards life, family and money is very correct.

He is the one who is most eager to make money and make a comeback. He used to be engaged in financial investment in a big city, but now he can only drive a hearse to pick up guests. Obviously, it is impossible to be content.

And when Karen asked if he wanted to put the "consultation fee" of nearly 20,000 rupees into the public account, he did not hesitate to choose to refuse, and it can be seen that he is not the kind of person who will take money from his nephew. people.

If the family is employed and can enjoy dividends, just him and his aunt plus grandfather and aunt Winnie, after the 20,000 rupees are handed over, he and his aunt will be able to share half of it next month.

After all, to earn this money, there is actually no operating cost... If Karen hadn't given the old Darcy 1,000 rupees, the cost would have been nothing more than a little bit of spit.

"By the way, Karen, next time, the next time you have business, you come forward and try to communicate with customers, and we will see the effect. If the effect is good, you can join the company as a family member and enjoy dividends. "

"Okay, uncle."

work for Inmelis?

no!

work for Diess,

it's my honour.

"In addition, the expansion you just mentioned, I don't think it is necessary to expand now, because even if we can get loans from banks, we can't compete with those chains in scale.

So my feeling is that we have to improve our service quality and find new profit growth points, just like you. "

"Actually, can't Grandpa take the job?" Karen asked.

Grandpa is a priest.

Mason said dismissively, "Hey, who's going to tell the truth to God?"

At this time,

There was a puddle up front, the wheels sank a bit, and there was a relatively big bump.

The car was fine, but the two urns collided and made a "bang" sound, but luckily it wasn't damaged.

Mason looked back and said:

"When I die in the future, I don't plan to hold a funeral at all, let alone a coffin. I don't even want Mina and Lent to prepare an urn for me."

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"Huh? Does uncle see it so openly?"

"Some things, when I see them a lot, they don't make much sense. When I get old, as long as Mina and Lunt can be a little filial to me, when I close my eyes, they will even buy fish from the vegetable market. I have no complaints about using black plastic bags to store my ashes."

"What about the ashes?" Karen asked.

"This is a good arrangement, find a bigger flower pot, put it in it, and then decorate it with soil, and you can plant anything on it, and you can put it in the flower bed.

When you are at home, you can give me some water, and when you are not at home, I will just help you watch the house. "

At this time,

On the way back, Ron, who was sleeping with the bird again, was just woken up by the bump. Hearing this conversation, he said curiously:

"Mr. Mason, Master Cullen, are you talking about such a heavy topic?"

"And Ron, what are your plans for the funeral in the future?"

Mason grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and lit a cigarette for himself with a lighter in the other, and asked casually.

"Hey, I must plan to spend the last 1 rupee on me before I die."

"Where's your family?" Karen asked.

"Tomorrow, after get off work, I will go to the nursing lady in the nursing home. If she is not with me in the end, I will probably have no family in the future, let alone have children."

"What about your aftermath?"

"The funeral?" Ron patted his stomach. "The funeral is simple. I heard that Luojia Medical College accepts body donations from the society. They will also call the donated body... What is it called a teacher?"

Karen said, "General teacher."

"Yes, yes, Master Karen knows more, hehe, before I die, I will sign an agreement to donate myself to become a general teacher."

Mason shook the ash and smiled, "I can't tell, Ron, your image is instantly taller in my eyes."

"That, that..." Ron scratched his head, "I didn't study well since I was a child, and I really couldn't learn the knowledge from books. I dropped out of school early to find a job. But I know that those who can get into Luojia Medical College, They are all people who study well.

I felt that in the future, I would lie there as a stupid poor student, and let those outstanding students with good academic performance stand next to me, bowing to me and calling my teacher, what a pleasant and enjoyable thing it would be. "

"Hahahaha." Mason laughed.

Karen couldn't help laughing, but she still reminded, "Then, Ron, you have to lose weight."

"Losing weight?" Ron said in surprise, "Is it necessary to be in shape as a general teacher?"

"That's not true, but you know what, after you cut your stomach, your fat will be piled up there. Then those students will probably endure disgust and cut your fat while whispering at you:

Oh my gosh, why is my general teacher a dead fat man! "

Ron straightened his back and said, "Is it so scary!"

immediately,

Ron fell into deep thought for his own funeral.

Mason asked curiously, "Karen, how did you know this?"

"Aunt Mary told me, you know, that sometimes Auntie would deal with some horribly dead bodies, so sometimes she couldn't help but scold at the dinner table."

Mason nodded in approval and said, "Yes, her temper is getting worse and worse."

Immediately after,

Mason sighed,

Played the soot again,

said:

"It is all blame on me."

...

When I got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After putting the urn in the basement, today's work was completed.

For dinner there is a late night snack, mashed potatoes, bacon, and vegetable salad.

Karen washed his hands and came over, seeing this dinner, to be honest, a little disappointed, especially when he went out and came back late today and was more hungry than usual, he was looking forward to a delicious and rich dinner.

but……

Do it yourself next time.

"My dear, I gave you a can of herring."

Hearing "canned herring," Uncle Mason immediately opened his arms, smiled, and kissed Aunt Mary several times in front of Karen:

"It was a blissful dinner, and I love it and you who prepared it for me, my dear."

The day before yesterday, Uncle Mason was sitting in the car and told Aunt Mary that the pie she made by herself was the only food he loved;

As for another gourmet gourmet to go to the toilet, it refers to "canned herring".

Karen blinked, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Snapped!"

There was gas in the can, and when it was opened, there was a muffled sound inside.

Immediately after,

A stench of rotting flesh permeated directly.

Karen's stomach spasmed directly, and then it went up to the throat, but it was forcibly pressed down.

In front of this smell, stinky tofu is simply a fragrant little cute with its own fragrance!

Uncle Mason forked a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing it with a look of enjoyment.

immediately,

Without even asking Karen,

Fork a piece of mashed potatoes directly in front of Karen:

"Eat it, Karen, you and I have been big fans of canned herring in this house, no, believers!"

Karen held her breath and looked at Mason, who forked another piece and shouted:

"Come on, do our faith!"

finished,

Once again sent into his own mouth to enjoy the chewing.

Karen looked embarrassed,

but,

Who told the last "Karen" to love this kind of food.

in addition,

For Karen, who liked to eat stinky tofu in her previous life, she vaguely guessed that this thing should smell like stinky tofu, smell stinky, and taste delicious?

take courage,

Karen forked it,

into the mouth.

In an instant,

wow~

Karen's eyes widened immediately.

He couldn't even swallow, so he just picked up the napkin and spit it out, then immediately got up and left the table to go to the bathroom, where he started to vomit.

at the table,

Mason, who was sitting, and Mary, who was standing, were slightly surprised.

"What's wrong with him?" asked Aunt Mary in confusion.

Uncle Mason guessed: "It was raining and leaking in the car when I came back. Maybe I have a cold?"

"Then I'll go get him some medicine."

...

After vomiting,

Karen gasped helplessly.

Turning his head, he saw Pu'er standing at the door of the bathroom, the cat was staring at him, and, looking at the curvature of the corners of his mouth, Karen had a feeling that he was laughing at himself.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Pu'er's expression remained the same, and his tail wagged.

At this time, Aunt Mary's voice came from outside: "Karen, are you catching a cold? I've brought you medicine."

"Okay, auntie, I'll eat out later."

"Then your supper..."

Do not,

That damn supper,

Karen is reluctant to go back to that dining table, and now he doesn't even want to go back to the second floor!

The whole second floor should be filled with the smell of canned herring at this time.

"There are a lot of snacks in Lent. I just eat a little bit. My stomach is not very comfortable, so I shouldn't eat too much."

"Then... Okay, pay attention to yourself. If you're still not feeling well tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the clinic."

"Thank you auntie."

Aunt Mary turned away,

vaguely,

Karen heard her aunt scolding her cousin Lunt:

"Lunt, your teeth are broken so much that you dare to hide snacks. Since you don't want your teeth, I will tear your mouth apart now!"

In the bathroom, Karen felt a little distressed for his cousin, filled with guilt for his younger cousin, and then he took a comfortable bath.

After the shower, Karen walked back to her bedroom, wiping her hair with a towel.

On the desk in the bedroom, there are milk, bread, water cups and pills.

Lunt was sitting on the ground, sorting out the boxes that had been placed under the box-spring bed, and when he heard Karen entering the room, he turned his head and looked at Karen aggrieved:

"Brother, mom took all the candies and chocolates I had hidden."

There was no resentment on the cousin's face, and he didn't blame Karen, just a little helpless.

"I knew I shouldn't have been so thrifty before. I only eat one every night, and I should eat it as much as I like."

"Ha ha."

Karen smiled, took out 1,000 rupees from his pocket, hesitated for a while, it seemed inappropriate for a child to take too much money, and finally only took out three and handed them to Lunt.

"Take it to buy candy, and ask for it when you're done."

Lunt didn't reach out to take it, but shook his head and said, "You can't spend your brother's money."

"Isn't it right for my brother to spend his brother's money?"

"No, mom said we have to take care of my brother, because my brother doesn't have..." Lent immediately changed his tune, "Actually, I also have pocket money!"

Including Karen, there are four children in the family.

It stands to reason that the monthly allowance of the four children is the same, and this part of the expenses is also counted in the public;

But because the cousins and cousins all have their parents, their aunts and aunts keep their pocket money on their behalf, and it is very little in their hands.

On the contrary, Karen, because he has no father or mother, the elders are too embarrassed to "keep" his pocket money, so he is paid in full every month, which is why Karen can accumulate 6,000 rupees.

"Brush your teeth carefully every day, and pay attention to controlling your sugar intake. It's fine."

Karen still put 300 rupees on Lent's bed, and found that there were quite a few books and books on Lent's bed, which should have been found during the "search" by the aunt earlier, because these should have been placed under the bed.

One of the notebooks had a white rose on the cover, but it was intentionally painted red with a red pen.

Karen opened it easily,

There are paintings on the first page. There are three people, two big and one small. Although the painter is very abstract, it can be clearly seen that the left side is the father and the right side is the mother and the middle is the child.

The child in the middle can be seen as a boy, because the long hair is not drawn to mark the female characteristics like the mother on the right.

"You draw well," Karen said to Lunt.

"Brother, this is not my book."

"It's not yours?"

In this room, it's not Lunt's, it can only be... "Karen".

Karen thought for a moment, but he couldn't recall the book in his memory.

But this is also normal, looking at the paper quality of the book, it should be a bit old;

Although he inherited the memory of "Karen", if Karen himself has forgotten some things, it is naturally impossible for him to remember.

"Lunt, it's time for you to brush your teeth and get ready for bed!"

The aunt's voice came from the stairs.

Fortunately, the Inmelis family lived in a single-family villa. If they lived in an apartment, with the voice of their aunt, they would definitely receive complaints from their neighbors.

"Come on, mother."

Lent ran out of the room.

Karen sat on Lunt's box spring and continued to flip through the notebook.

The painting on the second page is no different from the first page. It is still a couple plus a child.

The third page, too.

Karen lost interest, but frowned slightly when he turned to the fourth page.

The picture on the fourth page was all painted in black, with only a circle left in the middle.

From a professional point of view and analyze the aspects of children's painting,

This painting means that the child who created it is extremely insecure;

Black is actually a protective color.

This pattern of composition conveys the feeling that I was afraid when it was dark when I was a child, and I wrapped the quilt tightly, but left a gap to sneak out or breathe fresh air.

Of course, this painting presents a more serious feeling than that one.

Karen continued to turn the page, and the next few consecutive pictures were all similar pictures, except that the position of the blank circle would change somewhat, sometimes appearing at the bottom, sometimes at the top, or left to right.

After turning another page,

Karen's hand was stuck there.

Because in this painting,

A man and a woman are drawn sideways. According to the previous style of painting, they should be "Dad" and "Mom".

Drawn sideways, it means lying down.

Because one of the people in the painting is drawn vertically, he is standing.

In the picture, the "lying" "father" and "mother", from the position of their abdomens, extended black things, and the two were also smeared with a black pen.

Karen swallowed hard.

Is this the wound... and the blood flowing from the ground?

And the one standing,

It is an adult image that has not appeared before, and he is holding something in his hand.

Karen brought the notebook close to her, and looked at the thing carefully. Many times, what children drew, they could only guess.

"Is it a sword in my hand? Even this sword is too short."

Suddenly,

In Karen's mind, on the way back from the hospital that day, when he helped grandpa to clean up the burnt skin on his arm, what he saw was placed in the black box... that sword hilt!

"Dis!"

"Um."
