7 Funerals and gatherings
On Saturday morning, Grande was already busy, and today was the funeral of Jackson Bishop.
As with funerals, Grande simply can't afford a funeral with a few employees. So I hired the surrounding farmers and spread out a table in the backyard to serve these simple men who had a good day's breakfast for breakfast.
The first to rush into Grande and come to grab breakfast with a bunch of hired farmers, there is no suspense, it is Lola, who has finally been lifted, and the person accompanying her is Kyle.
Instead of being as happy as she was every time she visited Grande, Lola threw herself into Alice's arms with a pale face, hugged her tightly, and began to wet Alice's shoulders with tears.
In fact, it is not easy to judge the emotional intimacy of these third generations in the West District. As far as we know, when Zach attended the Quinn's dinner, which used Poch's return as an excuse, it could be seen that Lola, who was already a high school student, was hanging out with Kepler, and had little interest in the younger children, and was limited to politeness, including Jackson.
(In Book 12, Chapter 21, Kepler has a confrontation with a girl at a dinner party, which Lola and Blake dissuade.) The girl's last name is Falken, Smith's partner, and will appear later. )
But when Jackson needed it, Laura didn't shirk it, and became Jackson and Elena's escort, bringing them to Reipter's prom. Now, seeing Lola crying, she looks like a real friend.
Zach waved his hand at Alice, and the two girls put their arms around each other and went to the second floor.
Zach single-handedly grabbed Kyle, who was about to accompany him, "You stay, help." ”
"Help what?" Kyle, dressed formally and also dressed in black, frowned as he looked at the group of farmers at the table.
"Serve the plate, don't tell me that you won't. Zach casually instructed the young man.
Zach is selfish. On the surface, it seems that Lola needs Alice's comfort, but Zach knows that Lola is a smart and understanding friend. Lola should be able to see that Alice is also burdened with troubles now, please don't mention Cook...... Seriously, it's John, who just went to the Republic. The brother, who had been in Grande for a few days, spied Alice cooking in the backyard every day, and Alice didn't notice that there was a ghost.
Now Alice really needs a friend to solve the complicated relationship.
In addition, Zach was also a little curious, remembering how many times Kyle stayed at Grande on the grounds of 'summer social practice', he didn't bother vampires, nor did he bother Alpha, but always followed Alice's ass around. Zach also occasionally listened to what Kyle said to Alice, and found that it was all ordinary young people talking, which made Zach a little confused. Zach wanted to find a chance to ask Kyle what his purpose was.
Kyle frowned. He didn't say much, took off his tie, took off his coat, and shuttled back and forth between the kitchen and the backyard as instructed, serving a group of farmers.
Zach took a glass of wine, didn't take anything, didn't help, and started with a normal conversation, "Kyle?"
"What for. ”
"How long are you on vacation?"
Kyle paused. "A month. ”
"It's not next month, you're going back to the West. Zach is reasonably speculative.
Kyle pursed his lips. Glancing at Zach, "I'm not going back to the academy." ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, as if asking something important, and thought for a moment, "Taylor, also ......" That's the key.
"Yes!" Kyle was clearly not prepared to say this to Zach. Frowning, "She is my instructor, I follow her, she wants to stay in the Church of the Holy Son, and I will stay in the Church of the Holy Son!" Don't bother me. ”
Zach, who was disgusted, raised an eyebrow, he could understand how he was hated, after all, Zach and Kyle's conversations were not once pleasant.
"That last question. Zach and Cart, "You seem to be interested in Alice, why?"
This question actually made Kyle look thoughtful, and Zach looked forward to the answer he was about to get.
Unfortunately, Kyle is saved by Horn.
Zach frowned, looked out of Grande's backyard, the black limousine turned into the backyard, and after stopping, the side door was opened, Mrs. Barton pointed out her head, glanced at Zach and turned to Kyle, waved her hand, and gave instructions, "Call Lola, the convoy is coming." ”
Kyle nodded, shoved the plate in his hand into Zach, who had a respectful smile on his face, and ran to the second floor of Grande.
After a few moments, Lola appeared with Alice in a better look, waved at each other, said goodbye for a while, and exited Grande's backyard.
This is an official announcement that the funeral is about to begin. Grande, who was no longer disturbed by outsiders, began to work in earnest, the messy plates in the backyard were quickly cleaned up, Danny the Phantom drove out the hearse, and the hired farmer carried the coffin in and was ready. Louise and Zach drove in another car and drove in front of the hearse.
When the youthful atmosphere of the early morning had completely faded, on the dirt road in front of the Grande, the formation of cars behind the hearse continued to grow and began to start slowly.
Zach and Louise were at the very front of the entire convoy, on the parallel side, was the owner of the funeral, Sharp Car. Behind the closed, pitch-black window, Zach could hear the four arguing violently. The old Sharps, and the second generation of the Bishops, who have been officially renamed by us as Ms. Scher.
It's an unusually chaotic argument that doesn't come out of place, but no one will know about it except for Zack, who won't admit it even if he eavesdrops.
Zach childishly bent the corners of his mouth, humming a light melody of unknown era.
Louise patted Zack, "It's a funeral!"
Zach didn't explain, turned his head, and personified a hand over his eyes, his gaze searching the convoy behind. After a while, he found his target, leaning sideways and pointing in a certain direction, "Look, the protagonist of the funeral is also here, and Jackson is there." ”
Louise didn't have the vision of a vampire, nor did she have the ability to see the necromancer, so she was concentrating on driving and looking ahead, but she could still make out the direction that Zach was pointing, the position of the convoy and the seats of the guests, and Louise was involved in completing it, so she was a little puzzled, "Where is the Stone family's car? Didn't Jackson come with Blake?"
Zach raised an eyebrow and turned back, "Blake and Anthony are coming together." ”
It's kind of funny, Blake is here as a public relations mayor of the city.
Zach suddenly chuckled and shook his head, this funeral, from the host to the guests in the back, I am afraid that this is not regarded as a funeral. It's just a rally. (To be continued......)
