Chapter 76: Have a Happy New Year
We probably all know that these words cannot be said here.
So I followed Mr. Liu into the car and went to the restaurant.
There is no rush to customize the tombstone. At least it is New Year now and no one would go to such a place to bring bad luck.
So let’s wait until after the new year to discuss everything.
Mr. Liu paid us our wages promptly, and because tomorrow is the first day of the new year, he also gave us red envelopes.
These are large sums of money. My piggy bank is starting to grow again, which makes me very happy.
"I'll help you with the construction site monument, so you don't have to worry about it."
Dong Jing handed Mr. Liu a card of a tombstone shop, and then explained: "The price of this shop is more reasonable, and your tombstone is more special."
special?
When we heard Dong Jing's words, we all widened our eyes.
After we came out of the Jiulianhuan Police Station, Dong Jing handled the follow-up.
So I have no idea what happened during this period.
"There are countless evil spirits around here, you should know that, right? Just now, when you were resting, I went to help deal with the remaining things. I suddenly saw a lot of evil things wandering around. I guess they died with their eyes open. This is normal. If they were all burned to death in a fire for no reason, no one would rest in peace."
Dong Jing paused and said, "I remember someone in my family once said that if you encounter a situation like this, you can erect a monument for them. I've already thought of the inscription, and when the time comes, I'll just follow what's written on the back of this card and ask them to help build it."
As she spoke, she turned over the cards.
A line of words appeared on the back of the card.
Tonight my body returns to my homeland, and tomorrow your body will do the same.
I was stunned when I saw it.
I didn't expect that Dong Jing, who usually looks like a shrew, can be so cultured.
Mr. Liu took a look and understood.
Actually, that’s true. Dong Jing also said it before. In the fire that year, many people were burned to ashes.
In the end, there was no way to rest in peace.
Now that the construction site has been taken over, slowly no one will remember their tragic experience.
Therefore, they are unwilling to accept this, and the evil and foul energy remains in this world.
The worst thing is that they can't go anywhere and are trapped in this construction site.
That's why Dong Jing came up with this idea, to erect a tombstone here, so that at least before this construction site is sold, the evil energy will have a good place to go.
…
This New Year was quite lively. After finishing Mr. Liu's work, Boss Jin called us again and asked us to go back to his home to celebrate the New Year.
If there were only three of us, perhaps we would not have chosen to go to Boss Jin's villa.
But this year is different.
Jin Yun invited all her good friends from school.
For us young people, this is a young party.
Dong Jing and I were still a little excited on the way to Boss Jin's house.
Especially these days, because it is the Chinese New Year, we are not taking any business, and even the agency is not open.
Lin Mu also came over. When young people get together, there are naturally more ways to have fun.
In addition, Boss Jin’s villa has everything. When you are bored, you can swim, go to KTV, play basketball, billiards, and football. You can play all these in Boss Jin’s villa.
"Today is New Year's Eve. I have prepared some red envelopes for you. Consider them as lucky money for the new year." Boss Jin walked down from the second floor with a big belly and red envelopes in his hand.
At this time, we were all sitting in the lobby on the first floor playing poker.
There were ten of us young people in total, including Jin Yun, Dong Jing and me.
My cousin liked to watch us play poker, so he always sat next to us and looked after us like a parent.
When everyone heard that there were red envelopes, they immediately stopped playing poker.
"I wish Boss Jin a prosperous next year and a big profit!"
"I wish Boss Jin good health and a long life!"
"I wish Mr. Jin eternal youth and a good home."
A boy about my age said this and everyone laughed.
Young children speak without thinking, and Boss Jin didn't take it to heart. Especially today was New Year's Eve, there was no need to get angry over such a small matter.
So Boss Jin handed us the red envelope with a smile. When the red envelope was handed to me, he looked at me meaningfully.
I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that everyone had already said their blessings to Boss Jin, and it was not the case that I just reached out to take the red envelope.
"Boss Jin... Ang..."
Jin Yun’s classmates had already said all their blessings . I was speechless for a moment and didn’t know what to say.
"I hope I can find a good son-in-law this year, as smart as Wen Jie, as capable as Wen Jie, and as handsome as Wen Jie."
My face turned red instantly.
Fortunately, Boss Jin didn’t say “It’s better to be Wen Jie”, otherwise I don’t know how it would end.
But Boss Jin is a boss after all. He has dealt with many situations like this, so he naturally knows how to speak with moderation.
What I admire most about him is that he always gets to the point, so everyone understands what he means and it doesn't make me feel particularly embarrassed.
After receiving the red envelope from Boss Jin, I smiled and said, "You have to be better than Wen Jie. Wen Jie is nothing. Thank you Boss Jin for the red envelope, hehe."
Like a fool, I put the red envelope in my pocket and started playing poker with other classmates again.
This kind of poker is addictive when played by many people. We played until midnight.
Since we have received the New Year's money from Boss Jin, we have to stay up until after midnight before we can go to bed.
It's already past one o'clock. Dongjing, my cousin and I were busy all night last night and didn't get much rest today. We are really very sleepy.
"Then we'll go to rest first, and you should go to bed early too. Happy New Year!" I stood up with a smile and supported Dong Jing.
Jin Yun looked at it and frowned slightly, but in just a second or two, she hid her emotions again.
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone blessed us. They knew we were tired and waved to us to go and rest.
The young people certainly made some noise, but I didn't expect them to be so bold.
I returned to my room and fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.
I don’t know how long I slept when suddenly a scream was heard from the living room.
I have stayed in this villa twice, and the last time, I would have died if I had heard any screams.
So this also cast a shadow over me.
Whenever I hear screams in this villa, my heart can't help but wrench my heart.
What on earth happened in the middle of the night?!
