13 Mink Street Chapter 10

　　 When driving, two VIPs were sitting in the car;

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

　　 Although the funeral is a bit simple, it can even be called a scribble, but when returning from the incineration, the sky gave face and it started to rain, which can be regarded as helping Jeff and Mr. Mossan to set off the atmosphere of saying goodbye to this world.

　　 Karen looked at the ashes altar in front of him, and sure enough, those altars in the basement cannot be used to pickle kimchi!

　　 The ashes that have just been incinerated are hot;

　　 So sometimes in a hurry, the house is filled with a jar in the basement. After the house is installed, it is replaced with the urn with the label of the company at home;

　　 Jeff's urn needs to go through the last procedure and put it into the cemetery in the welfare list area, and no one of Mr. Mosang's children is willing to take his urn;

　　 Normal cemetery, even if it is not buried, the price is not low, so they would rather spend an extra sum of money to help the Inmelais family to help clear the relationship, so that their father can "snap" benefits.

so,

Essentially,

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

　　 And Mr. Mossang,

　　 will also rub Jeff's welfare bill;

　　 If there is no accident, the ashes of the two are sent to the welfare cemetery together, and they will be placed in two adjacent spaces.

　　 is also pretty good,

　　 If you are lonely,

　　 can smash the "wall" with their skulls.

　　 Karen was still thinking about the cost of the urn as mentioned by old Darcy, and curiously asked Uncle Mason who was driving:

　　 "Uncle, how much profit is our coffin?"

　　"A common coffin will have double the profit, and a specially made or specially designed coffin can double to three times the profit;

　　 Some decent people who work in the government will choose to be solemn and introverted;

　　 Those who have the title of nobility and have a solid family background will customize luxury coffins belonging to the nobles according to their family traditions, and they will also engrave the clan emblem on it.

　　The nouveau riche is much simpler, they like the splendor.

　　 By the way, there is a special coffin selection color book at home. There are more than two hundred types of coffins on it. If you are interested, you can read it back.

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

　　 several times the profit,

　　 Karen thought in her heart,

　　 That's okay. It's not as exaggerated as the urns in the Hughes Cremation Club. People sell it at a cost of less than 50 for 1,000, and 20 times the profit!

　　 What a coincidence,

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

　　 "Don't look at our profits as exaggerated as the urns of the Seuss Crematorium, but how much does their urn cost so many times?

　　 Our most basic coffin is 10,000 rupee.

　　 In addition, we are not the same as their customer groups. Here, the ones who are finally sent for cremation are...well, they are all low-quality customers, but they are their main customer groups.

　　 They burn the corpses there every day for a month, and we only need to do three normal orders to make the profits equal to them.

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

　　 "Uncle thought about expanding the scale?" Karen asked.

　　 Mason shook his head and said, "I failed to invest, and I 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 grandpa's money, which is the part of the inheritance you can inherit in the future, because your unbelievable uncle has shrunk a lot. "

　　 paused,

　　 Mason added:

　　 "Don't be angry with uncle."

　　According to the tradition of Ruilan Country, the eldest son is generally responsible for inheriting the family business, while the younger son goes out and ventures out.

　　 Therefore, from a customary point of view, Karen, as the grandson of the long house, should be the future speaker of the funeral club, while Mason, at most, divides the money or shares the shares, and has no right to say anything.

　　 "I don't blame you, uncle."

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

　　Through more than half a month's contact, Karen also discovered that although Mason is "lazy" and "mouthful" and greedy for money, there are many problems with him, but these problems are actually common to ordinary people;

　　The most important thing is that Mason's attitude towards life, family and money is very correct.

　　 The one who is most eager to make a comeback is actually him. He, who used to work in financial investment in a big city, can only drive a hearse to pick up guests. Obviously, it is impossible to be happy.

When Karen asked whether to charge the "consultation fee" of nearly 20,000 rupee into the public account, he did not hesitate to refuse, and he could see that he was not the kind that would take money from his nephew. people.

　　 If the family is employed and can enjoy the dividend treatment, he and his aunt plus grandfather and aunt Winnie, after the 20,000 renminbi are handed over, he and aunt will be able to share half of them next month.

　　 After all, earning this money did not actually pay any operating costs...If Karen hadn't given the old Darcy 1,000 bucks, the cost would be nothing more than a little spitting star.

"By the way, Karen, next time. The next time there is a business, you will try to communicate with customers. Let's see the effect. If the effect is good, you will be able to join the company as a family member and enjoy dividends. "

　　 "Okay, uncle."

　　Working for Inmelais,

Do not,

　　Working for Diss,

it's my honour.

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

　　 So my feeling is that we have to improve our service quality and at the same time look for new profit growth points, just like yours. "

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

　　 Grandpa is a priest.

　　 Mason said dismissively: "Hey, who can tell the truth to God?"

　　At this time,

　　 There was a puddle in front of him, and the wheel sank, and there was a big bump.

　　 The car was all right, but the two ashes jars collided and made a "bang" sound, but fortunately it was not damaged.

　　 Mason glanced back.

road:

　　 "I will die in the future. I am not going to have a funeral at all, let alone the coffin. I don't even want Mina and Lent to prepare the casket for me."

　　 "Huh? Does uncle look so open?"

"There are some things, if I see a lot, I don't think it is too interesting. After I am old, as long as Mina and Lent can be filial to me, when I close my eyes, they will buy fish from the vegetable market. I have no complaints about the black plastic bag used to hold my ashes."

　　 "How do you arrange the ashes?" Karen asked.

　　"This is a good arrangement. Find a larger flowerpot, put it in it, and put some soil on it. You can plant anything on it and put it in the flower garden.

　　 When you are at home, you can water me some water. When you are not at home, I will just help you look after the house. "

　　At this time,

　　 On the way back, the bird sat down and fell asleep. He was just woken up by the bump. Hearing this conversation, he was a little curious and said:

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

　　 "Where's Ron, what do you plan to do with your funeral in the future?"

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

　　 "Hey, I must plan to spend the last 1 Luan on my body before I die."

　　 "Where is your family?" Karen asked.

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

　　 "What about your funeral?"

　　 "Funeral?" Ron patted his stomach. "The funeral is simple. I heard that Luojia Medical College donates the body to the society. They will also call the donated body …what is the teacher?"

　　 Karen said, "Teacher General."

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

　　 Mason shook the soot and smiled: "I can't see it, Ron, your image is instantly taller in my eyes."

"Um, that..." Ron scratched his head. "I didn't learn well since I was a kid. The knowledge in books really can't be learned. I dropped out of school early to find something to do. But I know that all those who can be admitted to Luojia Medical College It is the group of people who study well.

　　 I felt that in the future, my stupid and poor-headed student would lie there, and let those outstanding students with good academic performance stand next to me and bow to me and call my teacher together. What a joy and enjoyment it is. "

　　 "Hahahaha." Mason laughed.

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

　　 "Lose weight?" Ron asked somewhat unexpectedly, "Being a general teacher still needs body shape requirements?"

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

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

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

　　 immediately,

　　 Ron fell into deep contemplation for his funeral.

　　 Mason asked curiously: "Karen, how do you know this?"

　　 "Aunt Mary told me, you know, sometimes aunt will deal with some dead bodies, so sometimes she can't help but curse at the dinner table."

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

　　 immediately,

　　 Mason sighed.

　　 flicked the soot again,

road:

"Blame me."

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

　　 There is a midnight snack for dinner, mashed potatoes, bacon and vegetable salad.

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

but…

　　I'll do it by myself next time.

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

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

　　 "This is really a happy dinner, I love it, and love you who prepared it for me, dear."

　　 The day before yesterday, Uncle Mason sat in the car and told Aunt Mary that the stuffed pie she made by herself was his only favorite delicacy;

　　 As for another delicacy that goes 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 noise inside.

　　 immediately,

　　 A smell of rotten meat permeated directly.

　　 Karen's stomach spasm directly, and then ascended to the throat, but fortunately, it was forcibly pressed down.

　　In front of this smell, stinky tofu is just like a sweet little cute with its own fragrance!

　　 Uncle Mason forks a piece and puts it in his mouth, chewing it with a look of enjoyment.

　　 immediately,

　　 didn't even ask Karen,

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

　　 "Eat, Karen, in this family, you and I have always been the most loyal fans of canned herring, no, believers!"

　　 Karen held his breath, looked at Mason, and Mason crossed the other piece and shouted:

　　 "Come, do our faith!"

　　 finished speaking,

　　 once again put it into his own mouth to chew extremely enjoyable.

　　 Karen looked embarrassed,

but,

　　Who said that the last "Karen" actually liked this kind of food.

in addition,

　　 For Karen, who liked to eat stinky tofu in his previous life, he vaguely guessed that this thing should be the same as stinky tofu. It smells stinky and tastes good?

　　 summon the courage,

　　 Karen crossed it,

　　 sent to the entrance.

　　In an instant,

　　Wow~

　　 Karen's eyes widened immediately.

　　 He couldn't even swallow, so he picked up the napkin and vomited it all out, then immediately got up and left the table to go to the bathroom and began to vomit.

　　 at the table,

　　 Mason sitting and Mary standing were a little surprised.

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

　　 Uncle Mason guessed: "When I came back, there was a leak and rain in the car, maybe I had a cold?"

　　 "Then I will prepare some medicine for him."

　　 After vomiting,

　　 Karen gasped helplessly.

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

　　 "Are you laughing at me?"

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

　　 At this time, Aunt Mary's voice came from outside: "Karen, are you catching a cold? I'm here to get your medicine."

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

　　 "Then your supper..."

Do not,

　　 That **** supper,

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

　　 The entire second floor, at this time, should be full of the smell of canned herring.

　　 "There are a lot of snacks in Lent, I just eat a little bit casually, the stomach is not very comfortable, I should not be able to eat too much."

　　 "Then... OK, pay attention to yourself. If you still feel unwell tomorrow morning, I will take you to the clinic."

　　 "Thank you auntie."

　　 Aunt Mary turned and left,

　　 faintly,

　　 Karen heard her aunt scolding cousin Lent:

　　 "Lent, your teeth have broken so many, you still dare to hide snacks, since you don't want your teeth, then I will tear your mouth now!"

　　 In the bathroom, Karen felt a little distressed for his cousin, and his heart was full of guilt for the little cousin, and then he took a bath comfortably.

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

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

　　 Lent is sitting on the ground, sorting out the box that was originally placed under the box spring. Hearing the sound of Karen entering the room, he turned his head and looked at Karen grievously:

　　 "Brother, mother found all the candies and chocolates I hid."

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

　　 "I knew that I shouldn't have been so economical before. I would only eat one piece every night, and I should eat up to my heart's content."

"Ha ha."

　　 Karen smiled, took out 1,000 Lu coins from her pocket, hesitated, it seemed inappropriate for the child to take too much money, and finally only drew out three of them and handed them to Lunt.

　　 "Take it to buy sweets, and ask for it when you are done."

　　 Lunt did not reach out, but shook his head, and said, "You can't spend brother's money."

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

　　 "No, my mother said we have to take care of our brother, because my brother doesn't have..." Lunt changed his words immediately, "Actually I have pocket money too!"

　　 Including Karen, there are four children in the family.

　　It is reasonable to say that the pocket money expenses of the four children are the same every month, and this part of the expenses is also counted in the public;

　　 But because the cousins ​​and cousins ​​have their parents, their pocket money is kept by the aunt and aunt, and it is very few in their hands.

　　 On the contrary, it was Karen. Because there was no father or mother, the elders were too embarrassed to "keep" his pocket money, so they were paid out in full every month, which is why Karen was able to accumulate six thousand rupee.

　　 "Seriously brush your teeth every day, eat sweets and take care of control, it's okay."

　　 Karen still put three hundred rubles on Lent's bed, and at the same time found that there were a lot of books and notebooks on Lent's bed, which should have been turned out during the "search" by his aunt, because these should have been placed under the bed.

　　 There is a notebook with a white rose on the cover, but it was deliberately painted in 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 painting is very abstract, it can be clearly seen that the father is on the left and the mother on the right is the mother and the child is in the middle.

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

　　 "You paint well." Karen said to Lunt.

　　 "Brother, this is not my book."

"It's not yours?"

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

　　 Karen thought for a moment, he could not recall this 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 had forgotten some things, he would naturally not be able to remember.

　　 "Lent, you should brush your teeth and get ready for bed!"

　　 Aunt's shout came from the stairs.

　　 Fortunately, Inmelais lives in a single-family villa. If you live in an apartment, you will inevitably receive complaints from your neighbors with the voice of your aunt.

　　 "Here, mom."

　　Rent ran out of the room.

　　 Karen sat on Lent's box-spring bed 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 with a child between them.

　　 The third page is the same.

　　 Karen was a little uninterested, but when he turned to the fourth page, he frowned slightly.

　　 The picture on the fourth page was completely smeared in black, except for a blank space in the middle.

　　 If you analyze it from a professional point of view and focus on children's painting,

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

　　Black is actually a protective color. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 This kind of composition mode conveys the feeling that I was scared when it was dark when I was a child, and I wrapped the quilt tightly, but would leave a gap to look out or breathe fresh air.

　　 Of course, the feeling presented by this painting will be more serious than that.

　　 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 a little, sometimes appearing at the bottom and sometimes at the top, or to the left or right.

　　Wait until I turn another page,

　　 Karen's hand stuck there.

　　 because in this picture,

　　 drew a man and a woman horizontally. According to the previous style of painting, it should be "Dad" and "Mom".

　　 Draw horizontally, showing the meaning of lying down.

　　Because there is a person in the painting drawn vertically, so he is standing.

　　 In the picture, the "lying" "Dad" and "Mom", from the position of their abdomen, extended a mass of black things, and beside them, a pool of black pen was also smeared.

　　 Karen couldn't help swallowing,

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

　　 while the one standing,

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

　　 Karen put the notebook in front of her eyes, carefully studying the thing, what a child drew, most of the time he can only care about it and guess it.

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

Suddenly,

　　 Karen, on the way back from the hospital that day, when he helped his grandfather clean his arm scorch, he saw in the black box... that sword hilt!

　　 "Dis!"

"Um."
