Pioneering

Chapter 84 Funeral
"crunch~"

Zhong Ming wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, and opened the door swiftly.

Oh, the person who came was the cold beauty I had glimpsed during the day, and she was still dressed in black and green gauze at the moment.

Zhong Ming nodded and asked:
"Is the girl here to borrow firewood?"

Although the woman looked at Zhong Ming quite differently, she still put her right hand on her left, put her hands between her chest and abdomen, slightly bowed her head and bowed her knees, bowed to Zhong Ming, and said:

"I also ask Linyou to help me, the little girl is very grateful.

The firewood will be returned in full the next day. "

The woman readily admitted.

Zhong Ming stroked his stubble-only hair and asked:

"Well, girl, my house doesn't burn firewood, but coal.

There is only a little charcoal in the house to start the fire, which may not be enough for the girl.

I don't know if coal is okay? "

The woman hesitated for a moment, then declined:
"Thank you Mr. Zhong for your kindness. The little girl's family is poor, so I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you for the coal. Su Jun interrupted."

After finishing speaking, we must salute and leave.

To explain why Su Jun knew Zhong Ming's surname, one has to look at the shining "Zhong's House" plaque hanging on the gate of Zhong Ming's house.

The mansion that Zhong Ming bought and renovated at a large price is one of the most beautiful and generous in the civilian area in the southeast of the city.

This is also the reason why Aunt Chen is keen on being a matchmaker for herself-the matchmaker said that she is a matchmaker, and she wants to give a gift of thanking the matchmaker.

Sujun was the first to ask him to borrow firewood, and he also had this consideration in mind.

Firewood in winter is also a big expense for ordinary people's families, and it is difficult for any family to have a surplus.

This woman is really poor and has a lot of backbone.Zhong Ming said with emotion in his heart.

Under the condition of not harming his own interests, Mr. Zhong still shows kindness occasionally to satisfy his spiritual needs.

Especially for beautiful women, Zhong Ming has always been caring.

Zhong Ming turned around and brought a food box from the middle hall, packed some "stir-fried devil mutton" and stuffed some pastries into it.

With Zhong Ming's speed, these movements only took a few breaths, and the woman was quickly overtaken by Zhong Ming before she even walked far.

"Girl, please stop." Zhong Ming called to stop Su Jun.

Su Jun stopped, turned to look at Zhong Ming who was holding a food box, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter, Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Ming thought about his words and said:

"In this way, the neighbors nearby may not have much firewood in winter.

Coincidentally, I cooked too much food today, I'm afraid it would be a waste.

Considering that your family and I are close neighbors, I haven't prepared your housewarming gift yet.

Therefore, I packed some meals and treated it as a gift from me, and I hope the girl will not dislike it. "

When Su Jun heard the words, she wanted to refuse, but she thought that her old mother was still hungry and sleepy, so she hesitated and said:
"Mr. Zhong's kindness, Sujun appreciates..."

"Grumble~"

Before she could finish speaking, a strange sound came from the woman's stomach.

Obviously, she was also very hungry, smelling the smell of meat wafting from the food box, her body protested to her very honestly.

Zhong Ming didn't give Sujun a chance to finish his refusal, so he grabbed her hand, thrust the handle of the food box into her palm abruptly, then turned around and left without saying a word.

"Girl, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. The food box will be delivered tomorrow, bye."

After finishing speaking, he ran back to the courtyard and closed the door with a "bang".

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhong Ming's playful expression immediately subsided.

Qi refiner?
Didn't the old ghost say that all Qi refiners come and go?

How can you be so poor?
When Zhong Ming was thinking hard about the tricks, Su Jun's family hall was next to Zhong's house.

"Sujun, where did you get the food box?" asked the half-deaf old lady.

Su Jun replied loudly:

"Mother, this is a gift from Mr. Zhong next door to celebrate our housewarming."

"Ah, what did you say?" The old lady still didn't hear clearly.

Su Jun's voice became three points louder, and said:
"Mother, this is a gift from Mr. Zhong next door to celebrate our housewarming!"

"Oh, what a nice person. Su Jun, let's sit down and eat together."

The old lady finally heard the words clearly.

"Mom, eat first, I'm not hungry."

While talking, Su Jun opened the food box, laid out the food in an orderly manner, and placed them on the old wooden table.

Looking at the meals with meat and vegetables, and the exquisite pastries, Su Jun thought to himself:

Mr. Zhong's family is really well off.

Alas, it's all because of my incompetence, my obsession with revenge, and my inability to let my godmother live a good life...

"Cough cough..."

Su Jun looked at the blushing godmother who seemed to be choking, and asked quickly:
"Mother, what's wrong with you, mother?"

While talking, Su Jun took a bowl of water for the old lady to drink, and then gently patted her back with his left hand.

The old lady said brightly:
"It's okay, it's okay. Su Jun, I may be a little greasy because I haven't eaten meat for a long time.

I don't know what kind of meat it is, but after eating a few pieces, I feel comfortable, my waist pain is gone, and my ears can hear much more clearly. "

Surprised, Su Jun picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a small piece of meat and stuffed it into her jade lips.

Hot, full and enjoyable.

What kind of meat is this? Why has my aura increased a lot?
……

———The words are divided into two ends———

At this time, in the county government office of Sishui County, four people carrying a warm sedan chair with a green curtain slowly landed in front of the county government office.

A brightly dressed young woman in pink opened the curtain and walked into the county government office calmly.

Yamen servants greeted the woman one after another:

"Miss Yu'an."

The woman didn't put on airs, and asked kindly:

"Well, Dong An, everyone."

The woman passed the Yimen of the county government office, walked through the lobby, second hall, and third hall, and came to the county magistrate's house, but saw white mourning flags, soul-inducing flags, and tearing flags hanging everywhere inside and outside the mansion, and she could faintly hear crying Howl.

The woman hurriedly knocked on the door and rushed into the mansion.

There is a mourning hall in the middle hall, and a temporary mourning shed is set up outside the hall. Three mourning flags are outside the mourning shed, and a golden coffin is parked inside the shed.

"My son, my miserable son!"

"Your cruel father doesn't take your death seriously~"

A middle-aged woman in plain white mourning clothes scratched a man in green robes while crying, and shouted:

"This is the only seedling of your Zhu family!
Are you unconscionable, worthy of your ancestors? "

It was Zhu Yiming, the county magistrate of Sishui County.

Zhu Yiming dodged his wife's sharp nails in embarrassment and said:

"Ma'am, calm down, calm down!
It's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's just that I can't do it..."

At this time, Miss Zhu had already seen that the ceremony was completed, put on mourning clothes, and walked into the mourning hall.

Zhu county magistrate immediately said happily:
"Lingyu, hurry up, come here and persuade your mother."

When Zhu Lingyu heard her mother's cry, she understood in her heart, but she still asked without giving up:

"Father, little brother?"

Zhu Yiming sighed and explained with red eyes:

"That's what happened..."
