    ?

    My father's carpenter classmate really deserved the words "you do things, I don't worry", and later today, he came here in a hurry.  Instead of looking for his mother, he came straight to me.  Perhaps, in the hearts of everyone, after my father passed away, I became the number one head of the family without any hesitation.

    My mother was obviously very concerned about my father's twelve-section coffin, so when my father's classmates came, my mother quickly followed.

    Although my mother came to me almost at the same time as my father's carpenter classmate, the carpenter still chose to say to me: "I have basically already negotiated with that coffin shop. Actually, speaking of it, I am still an acquaintance.  In order to save face, the price was initially set at 8,300 yuan. To be honest, the price including paint and transportation costs is already quite cheap. But, after all, I can¡¯t make the decision, so  I didn't agree to it at the time. Now, I'm here to ask for your opinions. How about it, are you satisfied with the price?"

    "Satisfied, how satisfied! That's the decision, I will do it tomorrow!" After hearing the words, the mother replied in a hurry.  Last time, when I visited the coffin shop in our village, my mother also went there.  The owner of the coffin shop at that time once said that the cheapest twelve pieces he sold to relatives cost nine thousand.  Therefore, the current price of eight thousand three is indeed quite cheap.  Otherwise, my mother wouldn't be so eager to agree.

    The carpenter did not express his opinion, but cast a questioning look at me.

    I know that the carpenter is waiting for me to make a decision.  Although my mother is my elder, first of all, the mother who farms the land does not have much income, so I have to pay for the coffin in the end. Moreover, rural people are relatively more influenced by feudal thinking, so in the subconscious  In China, it was believed that a man had to be the master of the house.  "My dad once said to you in front of me, 'I don't worry if you do things'. It was my dad's last wish to entrust you with the coffin. Besides, I also have 120 yuan for you.  Don't worry. Brother, you can figure out how to deal with the matter of the coffin yourself."

    My words were full of absolute trust in the carpenter, so the carpenter couldn't help being a little moved after hearing it.  "Don't worry, since you believe in me, I will try my best to finish this matter. Although the price is cheap, it does not mean that the quality is not good. I have already competed with the boss at that time, and the quality must be  ensure."

    "It's just that in terms of quality, we are laymen and don't know much about it." What I meant was that the businessman's words may not be credible.  Although the owner of the coffin shop has guaranteed it, who can guarantee that he will not cut corners?

    It was obvious that the carpenter had heard me.  "You don't understand, don't I understand? Your father entrusted this matter to me because I am an expert, right? Otherwise, what's the use of looking for me, a junior classmate? Don't worry, I'll let them catch up early tomorrow morning  Do it, and supervise it all the time. With me here, I believe they will not be able to survive.  .¡±

    I can hear the sincerity in the carpenter's words. If it weren't for the pure and profound friendship between classmates, then I don't think the carpenter would try his best to help each other.  I bowed deeply to the carpenter, and said with great emotion, "Then I will leave everything to you."

    The mother on the side also said a lot of thanks.

    "Isn't it right to do things for old classmates? I don't need to say words like thank you in the future." The carpenter pretended to be angry and stopped the mother who was out of control. The carpenter knew that since we believed him, then we  It is also necessary to show a performance that is worthy of others' trust, so he continued, "Your father once said before his death that only when it is unpainted can we judge whether it is the 12th stage and whether the quality of the 12th stage is good or bad."  Therefore, I will tell the boss to come here. After the coffin is built, I will transport it here first, and then wait for the wood to dry a little before painting it on the spot. In this way, everyone can take a good look at it.  Criticize and judge!" The carpenter's words revealed a strong confidence in himself.

    I know that the carpenter's self-confidence is based on his knowledge and sincere help, so in my heart, I am even more grateful to him.  Of course, I did not directly express my inner gratitude verbally like my mother did.  However, I will deeply remember the kindness of the carpenter.  As long as there is an opportunity, I will definitely give back without hesitation.  Of course, this kind of return may be illusory. After all, I am just an insignificant person in this world with limited abilities. There are too few places where I can help others.  However, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely do my best.

    The carpenter left without even staying for a meal.??His reason is very simple, he has to go back to take care of his wife who has not had surgery for a long time.  Is there a kind of touch to cry?  This is the simplicity of rural people.  Helping others is actually so thorough and so desperate.  Not long after his wife returned from the operation in Nanjing, it is said that two-thirds of her stomach was cut, which is definitely a terrible operation.  However, just when his wife needed to take care of her the most, he actually promised to supervise the whole process of creating the twelve stages tomorrow.  How affectionate is this, what touching selfless help, how touching simplicity The carpenter's starting point is very simple, he just wants to fulfill the last wish of his old classmate, he just wants to help his old classmate for the last time  Bundle.  It is precisely because of emphasizing love and righteousness that the carpenter will give priority to dealing with the things his father told him on his deathbed.  I know that for this, he must be full of apologies to his wife.  However, even when he is full of apologies, he will choose to help his father fulfill his last wish without hesitation.  The simplicity of the countryside is also reflected in this.  I just don't know how long this simplicity can last.  If the economy develops, but the simplicity disappears, then I don¡¯t know, is this a blessing or a misfortune for the society?

    After the carpenter left, I quickly suppressed my gratitude.  Because, I have to continue to stick to my post, facing my father who seems to be asleep, the unconcealable sadness appears on my face again.  Whether I want to or not, I know that sadness is going to be the theme of our family these days.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
