    When the captain heard the words, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he said kindly: "I think, before you decide to tear down the door, you should at least think about two issues."

    "Brother, which two questions are they?" I asked in a cooperative manner.

    "First, even if the gate is removed, can those coffin bearers really be able to carry such a large coffin out?"

    "From my mother's tentative tone to them, I think it should be barely enough." I replied with some uncertainty.

    "You should know better than me what kind of people your family has hired. I'm not saying bad things about them behind their backs, but I'm just telling the truth. How many of them are young and strong laborers?" the captain reminded.

    In the rural areas, almost all the young and strong labor force went out to work, so most of the people who stayed at home were old, weak, women and children.  Hearing this, I shook my head and said, "Almost none." Every time those eight people came, I would give them cigarettes. From their mottled gray hair, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were all quite old.  up.

    "I'll be blunt. With a coffin as big as yours, and it hasn't been long since it was finished, even eight young and strong laborers want to lift the empty coffin.  He said that he wanted to put some more things in the coffin! Even if the door is removed, but there is only so much space, it will always be much more difficult than carrying it in the open space. Don¡¯t forget, there is still a short distance after the door.  The way downhill. It¡¯s not that I look down on them. I think it¡¯s impossible to lift the coffin out of the coffin based on their physical condition. They are not young people.  If you broke your foot or even suffered a fracture, what should you do? They came here to help your family, if something goes wrong, you may not be able to shirk the responsibility, right?"

    What is "ginger is old and spicy", this is it.  The age of the captain did not grow in vain. With his rich social experience, he immediately thought of many possible problems that I had never thought of.  As I listened, I couldn't help feeling a little frightened.  If it is because of my lack of thoughtfulness, it will not only cause trouble for myself, but more importantly, it will make my father's funeral imperfect.  There is a saying in our place that if there is an accident during the process of carrying the coffin, it is a symbol of bad luck, and it will even affect the development of several generations in serious cases.  Therefore, such imperfections are bound to make mothers regret for life.

    "Brother, please advise on the second question." After listening to the captain's thoughtful analysis, my words became more respectful.

    "The second one is the cost. Have you ever thought about changing the door because of the coffin? Isn't the price a bit high?"

    "I know it's expensive to change the gate now, but there's nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, what if the coffin can't get out? I bought all the coffins, so I can't use them?" I said with some embarrassment.

    "I told you, don't you don't like to hear it. You are paid a dead salary, but you can't compare with other big bosses. I know that you have spent a lot of money on treating your father. Therefore, now, I think you  It is better to do things from the perspective of 'saving money'."

    "How could it be? Brother, what you said is the truth. I am very grateful for your reminder, I will definitely pay attention to saving money!" The captain's words are definitely out of good intentions, so my gratitude is completely expressed  from the heart.

    "I don't know about the coffin you bought. Let me be blunt. Is it necessary to get such a big coffin?"

    The meaning of the captain is obvious, that is, he thinks that my purchase of such a good coffin is an act of extravagance and waste.  Hearing this, I had no choice but to explain: "Actually, according to my opinion, I don't even need a coffin, just get an urn. But, my dad emphasized before his death that it must be a twelve-segment urn."  .My dad is gone, he will see nothing. Although I can disregard his last wish, but I can't ignore my mother's feelings. If my mother insisted on fulfilling my dad's last wish before death,  Then I won't decide to buy such a big coffin. Hey, I have to consider the feelings of the living, and I don't want my mother to have any unpleasantness when she is already extremely sad."

    "I understand, I understand." The captain quickly said very apologetically, "You are right. The people in the past have passed, but the living people must not be unhappy. What I mean is, have you ever thought about  , Is there a more 'economical' solution than changing the door?"

    "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that it's not an easy task to get out such a big coffin without letting those elderly people carry it and without changing the door?" After listening,  I asked back in embarrassment.

    "Do you trust me?" the captain asked.? Answer rhetorical questions.

    "Brother, what are you talking about? If I can't trust you, do I need to talk to you for so long?"

    "Okay! With your words, I decided to help you with this. In fact, it's easy to say. Just weld a cart with steel pipes, and then put the coffin on it. At that time, everyone just needs to be a little bit more steady."  coffin, you can easily get it out."

    Hearing this, my eyes suddenly brightened.  "Good way!" I couldn't help admiring, and then continued with some worry, "It's just that this car can't be too short, because if it's too short, it might not be able to pass the threshold."

    "Don't worry, I have all the tools in my house. There are large steel pipes, small steel pipes, and wheels of various types. I just need to measure the size of the coffin and the height of your threshold, and I will be able to do it." The captain said confidently  Said, "So-and-so (a nickname for my nickname), do you have a tape measure at home, I came in a hurry and forgot to bring the measure."

    "Yes, yes, yes, brother, wait a moment, I'll take it for you now!" I said as I went to the room as fast as possible.

    The enthusiasm of the captain made me feel warm in my heart.  Not long after he left, his cousin came over to inquire about the situation.

    The cousin and the captain's family are neighbors, and he seems to be very familiar with the captain's habits.  "The method is a good method, but he seems a little unreliable in his work, and we can't fully rely on him."

    After hearing what my cousin said, I was a little embarrassed and asked: "Then, do you want to change the door?"

    "Of course there is no need to change the door. You should contact them immediately and tell them not to help you pay attention to the second-hand aluminum alloy doors." The cousin replied decisively.

    "Okay, I'll contact him right away!" I responded, and then asked with some puzzlement, "Brother, but if we don't change the gate, then we have to wait for the captain's cart?" My  The implication is, didn't you just say that the captain is unreliable in his work!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
