Chapter 891 Family
With Karen's current soul strength, even if he is lying on a chair and taking a nap, he can sense and cover most of Luojia City by the way.
Therefore, when Uncle Mason was picking up clients from the nursing home, he was locked in by Karen.
Karen took this road on purpose, because he knew that Uncle Mason would definitely pass by here when he drove back to Mink Street.
But Rao's whereabouts have long been known. When the family's hearse drove past him, the shock it brought still made Karen feel a little bit astonished and flustered.
This Nutshell hearse was bought when Karen didn’t leave home. It’s been a few years, but it still looks brand new. Even the plastic wrap covering the car body hasn’t been torn off, and the stickers are still attached to it. with the body.
Karen could have waved, could have shouted, if he wanted, he could have even sat in the hearse the next instant.
But the hand was raised and the mouth was opened, but neither waved nor made a sound.
A feeling of fear arises spontaneously.
He was very afraid that the hearse would dissipate after he took the initiative to say hello, and then found out that it was a dream, a hallucination, and a trial.
Similar scenes have been experienced too many times in the past, and he is also used to cutting off this kind of temptation that can make him sink again and again.
Because of too much longing, when it is within reach, it feels so unreal, full of strong worries about gains and losses.
"Crack..."
Ahead, the passing car suddenly slammed on the brakes, and a hearse drifted.
Karen smiled, it seems that uncle saw him.
"Kang Na, remember to call him Uncle later, he is a very good elder."
"Yeah." Little Kangna nodded.
Pu'er's paw lightly drew a circle on Little Kangna's head, which was to remind Kangna to speak.
We have been together for a long time, and we are too familiar with each other, so Pu'er is very clear about what to do at a specific time to make Karen feel more comfortable.
Xiao Kangna understood, showing a surprised expression, and said:
"That car is so beautiful!"
Karen nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, that is the best car in the world."
At first, the family used a modified hearse, which was very inconvenient, and later bought this new professional version of the Nutshell.
Karen still remembers the feeling of sitting in the driver's seat for the first time when the new car arrived home, holding the leather-wrapped steering wheel with both hands.
His hearse plot was born from that moment.
Perhaps in the eyes of the world, a hearse represents bad luck, and when you meet it on the street, you will even spit out hastily; but in Karen's view, it is a symbol of solemnity and solemnity, and it is also the carrier of her family life.
Relying on it, the uncle who failed to invest can support the family again, the aunt after divorce can be sheltered, and the orphan who lost his parents and his cousins can be protected and stable.
The hearse started to reverse, but after a short distance, it stopped suddenly. Then the hearse accelerated and drove forward, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
"Well……"
Little Kangna, who had put on a cute expression and was about to say hello to her uncle, blinked:
"Uncle, are you nearsighted?"
Pu'er yawned and said, "When it comes to picking stocks, yes meow."
Xiao Kangna: "The uncle should have a common language with Le Ziren."
"That's right, meow, we can set a table for them on the roof then."
...
"Mr. Mason, what's the matter with you? That seems to be Master Karen. Although I haven't seen him for a few years, I just took a closer look... I think that golden retriever looks familiar!"
"It should be Karen, our Karen is back, hahaha!"
Mason stepped on the accelerator vigorously while laughing.
"But, Mr. Mason, what are you doing?"
Mason took a deep breath and said, "We have inquired about the house that Karen bought with a loan through the branch here..."
"I remember that Master Cullen repaid the loan in advance. At that time, Mrs. Mary was very happy to say it when she saw people."
"Yes, he paid off the mortgage, but the owner of the house changed later, and he sold the house again."
"Ah, how could this be..."
In the early days, Karen’s first Allen apartment house was indeed bought with a loan. Later, in order to reduce the pressure on the family, he repaid the loan in advance.
Later, Karen moved several times, first to live in the Pavaro Funeral Society, then to the Whip of Order Apartment, and now to the Castle of Enchantment. The first apartment has been bought by Heely. My family lives here.
Alfred originally wanted to give it to Xili, but Xili insisted on buying it with her saved salary. At first, she wanted to write her brother’s name, but Alfred said that the price of employee benefits can be discounted by 20%, There is no discount for writing other people's names, so it falls under her name.
Alfred told Karen about this incident while drinking tea.
But because Karen has very few contacts with his family, it caused misunderstandings to the uncles and aunts far away in Ruilan. They tried their best to inquire about Karen’s news through their own channels. Lun is selling the house and paying off the loan.
As for Karen, in the occasional contact, she said that she was living a good life and had a very rich life. In the eyes of the elders, it was entirely because the children of the family deliberately "reported good news but not bad news" outside.
In fact, at the very beginning, Uncle Mason disagreed with his father's arrangement and asked Karen to go to Wayne with the Allen family, although he knew that the Allen family was very rich and had a huge manor in Wayne. industry.
But Mason is very clear that it is often difficult to maintain happiness in a marriage with too much disparity in conditions.
He doesn't want his nephew to suffer and be bullied abroad. He prefers to let his nephew stay at home and run the funeral club with him. Anyway, the family conditions are not bad in the local area, and his nephew is as handsome as he was when he was young. , when the time comes to find a wife like his aunt, how wonderful it would be to live happily.
"Ron, did you see Karen's clothes?"
"I see, it's a very ordinary robe..." Under the guidance of Uncle Mason's established conditions, Ron also entered the analysis state, "Oh, yes, Master Cullen's clothes are very cheap at first glance, and there are some strange things. It fits well, the little girl next to him has white hair, maybe she is sick?
I heard that there are some special diseases that cannot be cured, and the hair will turn gray.
And the dog, who was fine when he went out, is now bald.
well,
it seems that
Master Karen is having a hard time. "
What Karen was wearing was actually the divine robe given by the whip-bearer, and there were thousands of charms in it. It was placed on the black market, and it was a treasure that could definitely cause a sensation.
But in the mundane world, Karen will switch the state of the robe to make it restrained and ordinary.
In Ron's eyes, the traditional clothing style of the divine robe does not fit well, and it may only be the wine red slim-fit suit that makes him feel high-end.
Mason said: "So I couldn't see him just now. The child had a bad time outside and came home when he couldn't get along. The pressure was already great. My nephew has always had a strong personality. I should have prepared a whole set of excuses. All I have to do is go home now, tell Mary and the others about this, and let them prepare for cooperation in advance, instead of meeting him halfway, interrupting his rhythm and embarrassing him.
Maybe, he has already rented clothes and is going to change before entering the house?
Maybe, he planned to walk a longer distance, and planned to get closer to home and then take a taxi back to the house, and the fare would be cheaper?
Alas, my poor Karen. "
"Mr. Mason, you are a good elder, really."
"If I were, I wouldn't let him leave the house. In fact, I knew early on that he was not doing well there. His wife's family name is Alan, but what is the house he bought with a loan, Alan's apartment!
If the husband and wife have a good relationship, do they need to borrow money to buy the property of the wife's family? "
Mason drove the car into the family yard.
Mary came out from the inside and habitually instructed Ron to push the guests to the basement, but as soon as she opened the rear door, she smelled the unpleasant smell.
Ron: "Aha, ma'am, I have good news for you!"
Mary: "Did you eat shit, Ron!"
Ron: "..."
Mason grabbed his wife's arm and pulled her into the house, calling his sister's name at the same time.
Mary: "Damn it, Mason, I told you to keep an eye on Ron and make sure the nurses in the nursing home clean up the guests first, and you didn't listen to me. Now the car is stinky, and you will need me... "
"Karen is back!"
"...you want me to wash Karen myself, what?"
Mary froze for a moment: "Can you say it again?"
"Karen is back. I saw him on the road. He is walking towards home. He is going home."
"Why didn't you pick him up when you saw it?"
"He's not having a good time. Now that he's back, I want to remind you first."
At this moment, Aunt Winnie came out and asked, "Who's back?"
Mason: "It's a holiday today, call the children out, I have to order something, hurry up!"
...
Little Kangna looked at the house number and said, "13 Minke Street."
Karen: "Connor, remember this is home."
Little Kangna looked up at Pu'er on her head: "Is it also sister Pu'er's home?"
Pu'er: "Yes, that's right."
The time it stayed at Inmeles' house was much longer than the time it stayed at Allen Manor.
Karen tidied up his clothes. One advantage of the divine robe is that many formations embedded in it can meet the needs of many times. Karen activated the self-cleaning formation, and the divine robe on his body looked more beautiful.
However, when Karen was about to push the door, an old hearse drove over, the car stopped at the door, and a middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat. He looked at Karen carefully, and then shouted in surprise:
"Master Karen, haha, Master Karen, it's really you, you're back!"
"Hello, Paul, how are you doing?"
Paul was originally one of the two buddies in the family, just like Ron, but unlike Ron's life of being out of tune, he has always paid attention to learning, learned to drive by himself, not to mention a raise in salary, and later contracted a cremation agency , was promoted from a buddy to a partner of the Inmeles family.
"I'm fine, Master Karen, I'm the father of three children now, haha!"
"Congratulations, Paul."
Pu'er looked at Karen: "Meow."
Connor looked at Karen: "Meow."
Kevin followed the crowd and turned his dog's head to look at Karen: "Wow!"
"Master, this is your..."
Paul looked at Connor.
"She is my daughter, Connor, called Uncle Paul."
"Hello, Uncle."
"Hello, hello, Miss Connor."
Paul deliberately did not say the color of the child's hair.
At this time, Uncle Mason and Aunt Mary were standing on both sides behind the door of the living room. When they were preparing for Karen to enter the yard, they walked out naturally and exclaimed:
"Oh my God, Karen, you're home!"
But because of the appearance of Paul, this rhythm was interrupted.
Mason: "Why is Paul here now?"
Mary: "He came to deliver the urn."
Mason: "Then shall we continue to stand here and wait?"
Mary: "The engine of Paul's second-hand hearse can be heard in the back streets."
Mason: "Then we go out?"
Mary: "Get out!"
Mason and Mary walked out the door, their steps were too synchronized, their arms collided with each other, and they staggered together, almost falling on the steps.
Seeing this, Karen hurriedly opened the courtyard door and walked in.
"Uncle, aunt!"
"Karen, you're back!"
"Haha, my Karen!"
Uncle Mason stepped forward, gave Karen a strong hug, and then stepped aside. Aunt Mary went up again, gave Karen a gentle hug, and patted Karen on the back:
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, we won't leave this time, we're at home, we all miss you very much."
"I miss you too, Uncle and Aunt."
Walking into the living room, Karen saw Aunt Winnie sitting there drinking from an empty coffee cup.
The aunt stood up in "surprise": "Karen, you are back!"
"Yes, aunt."
"I'll see, I'll see."
Aunt Winnie stepped forward, grabbed Karen's hand, and began to carefully observe the changes in Karen:
"It's good to grow taller and mature."
Little Kangna began to spin around to say hello: "Hi Uncle, Hello Aunt, Hello Aunt, I am Kang Na, Kang Na Xuebai Inmeles."
When the last name is spoken, there is nothing to be suspicious of.
"This child is so cute."
Mary knelt down and took little Connor into her arms.
Mason calculated in his heart that according to the date when his nephew left home, the child might have been conceived on a cruise ship to Wayne, or during the first blind date. She gave birth to a daughter with a genetic disease with that Miss Allen... In the end, the nephew who couldn't live with Wayne could only choose to go home with his poor grandniece.
What Karen didn't know was that because of Kang Na's white hair, a tragic drama had already been played out in the minds of his family members.
"Brother Karen!"
"Brother Karen!"
Mina, Lunt, and Chrissy ran down the stairs.
Mina has grown up, girls generally develop earlier, and now she has gradually faded from her youthfulness, like a big girl.
Lunt has also grown a lot taller and has muscles in his arms.
Chris, who is the youngest, hasn't changed much and is still very cute.
Karen hugged his younger brothers and sisters one by one. After hugging, he realized a problem. He had neglected something very important...a gift!
When others go on a business trip, they always remember to bring things for their family, but I actually came back empty-handed.
When thinking about "going home", Karen's mind is full of temples, the Holy See... The details are really ignored.
If it is a family in the church circle, the small things and pendants on Karen's body can be taken out as a gift, especially in the satchel carried by Kevin, there are countless scrolls and holy vessels;
But the problem is that grandpa's philosophy is that if other people in the family stay away from the church circle, then these small pendants on his body are not suitable for giving, and it will easily bring unnecessary trouble to the family.
If you don't bring a gift, then send a red envelope.
Karen reached into his pocket, but there were only coupons, not rupees, not even Rael.
In the end, Karen could only say with some embarrassment:
"Sorry, I forgot to prepare the gift, I will make it up for you later."
The family members who have "learned" Karen's "true situation" saw Karen's embarrassing scene, especially the action of putting his hand in his pocket but not taking it out, which further convinced everyone that Karen was living a real life outside. not good.
Aunt Winnie touched the tears at the corners of her eyes subconsciously: Poor child, I am afraid that even the boat ticket was borrowed money to get it together.
Uncle Mason: This kid may not even have taxi money, and only had time to change into a new dress.
Mina said, "Brother Karen, it will be great when you come back, really."
Lunt echoed, "Yes, bro."
Little Kangna followed up and said hello: "Sister Mina, Brother Lunt, and Sister Chris, hello."
"Ah, so cute."
"so cute."
Mina and Chris immediately came over and hugged little Connor.
Lunt stood aside, giggling.
Little Kangna looked at Lunt and asked curiously, "Is brother Lunt still using his hands?"
Lunt: "..."
Karen glanced at Pu'er who was returning from Kang Na's head to Kevin's back. Pu'er turned his head to the side, pretending that he didn't exist.
Aunt Mary said now:
"Our Kangna, it seems that the name is a bit wrong."
She is called exactly after Karen.
"Hmm..." Little Kangna looked at Karen, who taught her to call "Uncle" when she came here.
Karen also turned her head to the side, pretending not to see it.
"Uncle, I want to go see Grandpa."
"Come on, I'll take you there."
Karen followed Uncle Mason upstairs, and Kevin followed with Pu'er.
The living room on the first floor is reserved for women and children.
Aunt Mary held little Connor in her arms and sat on the sofa, and everyone else was also sitting around.
"Konna, how are you doing in Wayne, are you happy?"
Some concerns are not appropriate to ask Karen, but it is more convenient to know their specific situation from the children's mouth.
Connor recalled her life in Wayne during this time, as if she was either doing her homework or preparing to do her homework. Connor sighed, lowered her head, and said:
"unhappy."
The eyes of the surrounding family members met quickly, with a sure look.
Mary comforted: "It's okay, just go home, we are all your family, Connor."
"Yes, Connor, we are all your family."
"Live with us in the future, and we will take you to play."
Little Kangna asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Even grandma's intervention failed to stop sister Pu'er from letting her do her homework. Xiao Kangna expressed doubts about the ability of her family to intervene.
After all, she could sense that grandma was very good at fighting, and the family members here... were all ordinary people.
"Of course, you are our sister." Mina said.
"Mina, you are her aunt."
"Hee hee." Mina waved her hand, "It's the same, I want to love her as my younger sister. Brother Karen used to treat us well when he was at home."
Before Karen leaves home, he will talk with his younger siblings. Of course, the most important thing is that Karen already had a share of the family income at that time, and he could also earn extra money, so he gave a lot of pocket money to his younger siblings.
Chris asked, "Konna, where's your mother?"
Aunt Winnie immediately glared at her daughter, what are you asking!
After Chris finished asking, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing.
Little Kangna said, "Sister Pu'er."
In Xiaogulong's eyes, Karen is an equal father, and sister Pu'er is her mother.
"well."
Aunt Winnie sighed, poor child, it seems that mother is not around, so she can only play with the cat.
Aunt Mary asked a little angrily: "Where's the lady from the Allen family, isn't she coming to see you?"
Miss Allen?
Eunice?
Little Kangna shook her head: "It's not easy to see her once. Most of the time, she just lives in Karen...in Dad's mouth."
Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie looked at each other: They are both mothers, why is she so cruel, and her own daughter just doesn't want it?
Mina kissed the back of Little Kangna's hand distressedly, and said, "It's okay, we love you, we love you, aunt is also mother, right, Chris."
"Yeah!" Chris nodded vigorously, "I'll buy you a skirt with my pocket money."
At this time, Paul said: "Ladies, you continue to chat, I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and come back."
Although he is also a small boss now, Paul knew that he was able to contract the cremation agency because of the support of the Inmeles family, so he has always regarded himself as the family's buddy.
"Thank you, Paul." Mary lowered her head and asked little Connor, "Connor, what do you usually eat at home?"
"pill."
for a while,
The atmosphere in the whole living room obviously stagnated, and everyone looked at Xiao Kangna with more distressed eyes.
...
Karen followed Uncle Mason to the third floor. Uncle Mason opened the door of Grandpa's bedroom and signaled Karen to come in.
Pu'er didn't follow in, but jumped onto the windowsill.
Here, is her favorite position.
Kevin also jumped up, with his head down, his dog eyes following Pu'er's gaze, looking out.
The sky was dark and dense, as if it was going to rain, but no raindrops fell, as if a real thunder was brewing.
Pu'er opened the mouth and said: "Sitty doesn't seem to be coming...but she might come, I don't know. With her personality, she lost face here last time, so she will definitely ask to come together this time.
If she comes, it's fine, I really hope she's one of those pillars of light now. "
As Pu'er said, she lowered her head and looked at her cat's paw:
"Hey meow."
Kevin shook his tail, brushed against Pu'er's back lightly, and looked at the dark clouds outside with clear disdain.
Even if it is said that the gods are about to return a thousand times or ten thousand times, as long as one day does not come, then he——Raniedar, is the most mysterious and powerful existence in this world!
"Wow!"
Pu'er stretched out his paw and patted Kevin's bald head:
"Hey, stupid dog, of course I know we will go together, we are... evil knights meow!"
...
Karen saw Diss lying on the bed.
Diss is not wearing a nightgown, let alone a home clothes, but a priest's clothes, and there are ironed formal clothes hanging on the hanger next to him.
This means that under the careful care of Uncle Mason and Aunt Mary, Grandpa is not sleeping as a patient on weekdays, but more like "living" as before.
From the perspective of ordinary people, taking care of a bedridden old man in this way is undoubtedly very huge.
"Thank you, Uncle, for your hard work."
"Hey, kid!" Uncle Mason slapped Karen on the back and scolded with a smile, "Why are you thanking me? You call him grandpa, but I can call him dad!"
Karen walked to the bed, and Uncle Mason moved a chair over: "Come on, sit down and talk to your grandpa, your grandpa must miss you."
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Mason leaned towards the bed and shouted to Diss:
"Dad, your favorite grandson has come home, and he came to see you."
After speaking, Uncle Mason walked out of the bedroom, leaving room for the long-lost grandparents.
Karen looked at Diss's still sharp and resolute face, and was silent for a long time.
He has too many things to say to him. He can say who he has known, what he has experienced, and what scenery he has seen in the past few years; he can also say how many elders of the temple came to Luo Jia this time. which one...
Obviously, there are too many things that can be said, but at this time, Karen doesn't want to say it.
When I was sitting in front of him, any urgency, hesitation, and crisis were not important, even if there was lightning, thunder, thunder, and strong wind outside, it didn't matter, because I was at home now.
This home has always been sheltering me from the wind and rain, even though I left here, its shelter for me is still continuing.
My calmness is not because of my current strength and status, nor is it because of Kevin lying on the window sill outside, but because of the old man lying on the bed in front of me who is still sleeping.
Wait a little longer until the rain really starts to fall;
Wait for our Lord Rathma to successfully condense the godhead fragments;
Waiting for the group of elders in the temple to come again in a proud figure;
Wait for those guys who support the Adventist faction to reveal their true desires and faces.
Anyway, there is still time, and we are not in a hurry, just wait for the fish to take the bait by themselves.
You can also sleep a little longer, rest a little longer, and let them perform on stage a little longer;
Most importantly, dinner, too, requires prep time.
Karen stood up,
Smiled:
"Grandpa, the meal is ready, I'll call you again."

Ask for a monthly ticket, hold everyone tight!
