Chapter 10 The Receiver at the End of Life
Pei Yao didn't pay attention to the changes in the attitudes of the two families. She knew that they must be a little afraid of her, but it was a good thing to be afraid of herself at this time.
"Have you two discussed it? In fact, these three bodies can be repaired at the same time. We have a total of three undertakers in the funeral home."
"But I heard you're the best."
The woman on the left spoke softly, "They all say that you are the best undertaker besides Master Chu."
It had been a long time since she mentioned Master Chu to Pei Yao. She moved her fingers slightly and looked at the woman.
"Every mortician is excellent. I will repair your child. The other two will be handed over to the other two morticians in our funeral home, okay?"
After what happened just now, none of them could say anything bad. Seeing that they finally reached an agreement, Pei Yao turned his head and looked at the people behind him.
"Take care of this and start working."
After saying that, her eyes fell on Zhao Xing in the corner.
"Lin Lin, take Zhao Xing to treat the wound first."
Zhao Xing's eyes lit up when he suddenly heard her mentioning him, but Pei Yao quickly looked away and returned to his workroom.
Upon seeing this, his expression darkened, and he looked at Pei Yao's leaving figure with a complicated look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Back in the workroom, Pei Yao started working. She pushed out the little boy's body. He was lying there with his eyes closed, lifeless, and Pei Yao's heart became heavy.
Many people have deep prejudices against the profession of undertakers and feel that it is very unlucky for them to be around dead people every day. Even when she first entered the profession, her grandmother also expressed great opposition.
But she knows that people have a way to come and a way to go.
Doctors are the guides at the beginning of life, and morticians are the guides at the end of life.
Send them on their last journey.
Pei Yao closed her eyes and observed silence for half a minute. When she opened them again, her mood had returned to calm.
When the car accident happened, the father hugged the little boy, so his body was still intact. She concentrated on repairing it. After finishing the last stroke, it was already dark outside.
And the little boy lying on the cold bed returned to his former innocent appearance.
She stood there and looked at it for a few times, then pulled up the white cloth and covered the little boy's face.
It was getting dark after she came out of the funeral home. She took a taxi and went directly to the hospital. When she walked into the ward, her grandmother was sleeping.
There are some fruits beside the bed. I don't know who brought them.
She sat down and reached out to hold her grandma's hand, which was warm.
This warm touch gave her an unrealistic feeling. In the past six months, her grandma's health had gotten worse and worse. If she could, she really wanted to lie here for her grandma.
Pei Yao looked at her grandmother's increasingly thin face, her eyes gradually turning red.
At this time, the person on the bed suddenly moved. She stood up immediately, but heard a name shouted from her grandmother's mouth.
"Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia..."
Hearing the name, Pei Yao held her grandmother's hand tightly.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely find my aunt."
Her hands gently patted the quilt, and the people on the bed slowly became quiet.
But after grandma finished talking in her sleep, Pei Yao's expression became more and more serious.
She has been looking for traces of her aunt since her grandmother started to fall ill, but after searching for so long, there is no clue at all. Her aunt has always been her grandmother's heartache, and she hopes to untie her knot before her grandmother leaves.
Thinking of this, she felt upset.
She has asked Officer Hong to help find someone for half a year, but there is no news at all. Her aunt left home before her parents got married. It has been more than 20 years now. She is only worried
What she will get in the end will be the worst news.
Sighing softly, she packed up everything in Grandma's place and tucked her in before leaving.
When she got home, Rong Li was not at home. She originally wanted to go to bed directly, but thinking that she could restrain Liu Hu so quickly because of Rong Li's help, Pei Yao turned around and walked into the kitchen.
When she came out again, it was already an hour later. She had an extra cake in her hand. She put the cake on the dining table. She took out a note from the room and wrote four words on it. After doing this, she returned
Room.
It was already midnight when Rong Li came back. He was wearing a suit, but his tie was pulled open by him, and he still smelled of alcohol. He looked arrogant, and he didn't show the slightest bit of narcissism in front of Pei Yao.
He didn't know how long he had been drinking, but his steps were a little sloppy. As soon as he walked in the door, he picked up the cup on the sofa and drank all the water in it.
"It's really hard for these old guys to make some profit."
Complaining in a low voice, Rong Li rubbed his swollen temples and was about to go back to the room when he saw the kitchen light was on and a beautiful cake was placed on the dining table.
When he walked to the dining table, he picked up the note and took a look at it.
"Thank you for today."
After putting down the note, he looked at the cake again. This cake didn't look good, and it was far different from the ones he usually saw. But for some reason, this cake smelled a little sweeter than the others.
Rong Li is not fond of sweets and rarely eats these things on weekdays. What's more, Pei Yao made a pink and tender strawberry cake.
But the cake in front of him made him want to try it.
He picked up the knife and fork next to him and took a bite. The fragrance of strawberry mixed with the sweet and sour taste whetted his appetite.
After a night of drinking with a bunch of old foxes, he didn't eat at all, but now he was holding a cake and finished it three times, five times, five times, divided by two.
Five minutes later, he put down the tableware in his hands, rubbed his stomach that felt much better, picked up a pen from the side and wrote a line of words on the back of the note, then took the tableware to the kitchen and washed it before going to sleep.
The next morning, when Pei Yao got up, he walked outside the kitchen and saw the paper on the table, and couldn't help but laugh.
"The cake is delicious, but can it be made in other flavors next time? I prefer mango, kiwi, dragon fruit, and cherry. Thank you."
Unexpectedly, this person actually started ordering food. She glanced at the cleared table and nodded slightly.
I can make a few more cakes in the future.
But since the cake, although they lived in the same home, they had not seen each other for several days. Pei Yao only vaguely heard the door ringing in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep again.
After get off work today, she didn't rush home. Instead, she went to buy some fruit, and then took a taxi to the entrance of a villa area.
Fu Yunxiang was already standing there, showing a gentle smile when he saw Pei Yao.
