积习难改
老王是殡仪馆的工作人员。这天傍晚,他拿着扫帚,在殡仪馆院内清扫地面的落叶。
扫着扫着,老王无意间一抬头,远远瞥见一号治丧大厅门口似乎有一个人影。恍惚间,老王感觉那背影是一个老太太的,她弓着背,拄着拐杖,步履蹒跚地走进大厅敞开的大门。
这么晚了,会是谁呢?老王寻思等老太太出来后过去问一下。就在这时,老王的手机响了,办公室黄主任吩咐老王,明天有人要来办丧事,让他准备一下。接完电话,老王揉揉眼睛,再去看一号大厅门口,瞅了许久,也没见老太太出来。纳闷之余,老王干脆就走进了一号大厅,想去看个究竟。奇怪的是,大厅里空空如也,哪有什么人?老王挠挠花白的头发,心想,难不成自己老眼昏花,刚才看花了眼?
第二天下午,办丧事的那家人来了,他们租用的是一号厅。听了黄主任和死者家属的交谈,老王才知道,死者是一个姓吴的老太太。想到昨天傍晚的怪事,老王心里咯噔了一下。
灵堂布置好后,老王打开音响设备,准备按惯例播放哀乐。可不知为啥,音响显示屏上信号一切正常,可就是没有声音。老王把几个按钮调试了好几次,依然没有一点儿用。家属们急了,都围了过来,吴老太太的大孙子恰好在一家歌厅当音响师,看到老王急得满头大汗,就自告奋勇来试一试。不承想,无论他怎么调试,就是放不出声音!
办丧事没有哀乐,成何体统?大伙儿都急得火烧火燎,老王掏出手机,正准备给黄主任打電话,吴老太太的二儿媳发话了:“妈在世的时候,没事总爱往小区跳广场舞的地方跑。虽说老人家腿脚不利索,可她喜欢坐在旁边看人家跳,经常一去就是半天。是不是这哀乐她不感兴趣,想听广场舞曲呢?”
大家一听,不免觉得有些荒唐,只是,与其再找人折腾,倒不如试一下。于是,吴老太太的大孙子重新摆弄起音响。还别说,一番鼓捣后,轻松欢快的广场舞曲马上环绕着整个大厅响了起来。老王一颗悬着的心总算落了下来,他呆呆地站着,搓搓手,犯起了嘀咕:“这事儿咋这么怪呢?”
此时,外面西北风呼呼地吹着,大厅里寒气逼人。家属们找到老王,要求开空调取暖。这时,怪事又出现了,几台空调开关按下后,等了好久,丝毫没有反应!整个大厅的线路并没有问题,灵堂正前方的显示屏依然亮闪闪的,广场舞曲也响得正欢。一台空调出故障,很正常,老王也没少遇到过;所有空调同时出现故障,老王觉得就难以理解了!再联想到刚才音响的事,老王不禁暗暗心惊,该不会真是吴老太太在暗中操纵吧?
好在吴老太太的家属这次并没有太着急,只听吴老太太的二儿媳又说道:“咱妈活着的时候一向节俭,不管大冷天还是大热天都不用空调,这习惯一时半会儿当然改不了。”
老王见别的家属都没有提出意见,就顺势说:“照我说,这事儿好办。既然老人生前有节俭的好习惯,咱做晚辈的,何不最后顺着她一次,也算是尽尽孝道!”大伙儿同意了。
哀悼仪式结束后,吴老太太的遗体要进火化间了,家属们七手八脚地拿出从家里带来的老人生前使用过的物件,准备一起烧给老人。结果在一大堆衣物被褥中,老王一眼看见了一根拐杖夹杂其中!
顿时,老王整个人惊呆了,想起了昨天黄昏看到的一幕……看来,昨天是吴老太太拄着拐杖,提前到殡仪馆来熟悉场地,好方便办丧事时保持生前的老习惯呀。
