Chapter 1036 Agree to build the tomb (10,000 words, monthly vote +9)
Lin Xiuqing went to check the dried fish in the workshop after breakfast. The continuous sunny days in the past few days had caused the temperature to climb to 27 or 8 degrees Celsius, and the dried fish in the workshop was almost dry.
Because of the rain a few days ago, the half-dried dried fish became damp again. Fortunately, it has been sunny in the past few days, and she has collected several sacks in the morning.
When Ye Yaodong went there, she was touching each piece to check the dryness.
"Why don't you get a sack?"
"Wait until the sun goes down in the evening before harvesting. The weather is good today. I will give it one more day to dry out. There will be a bit of dew at night and the beach will be a bit humid. It is not that dry to the touch this morning. Has the ground been plowed?"
"It's done and the seeds have been planted. If you don't want to help me, I'm going to buy meat."
"Why don't you go take the toilet to the latrine and empty it? I'm not embarrassed to talk about eating there this morning."
"I'll ask my dad to help me pour it when it gets dark in the evening. Why pour it in broad daylight now? I'll scold people if it smells bad."
"Then just remember."
He was too embarrassed to ask his younger brother to do this kind of work. He came here to work, not specifically to do this. If he let his father do it, he would do it without any burden...
Because his father was used to it...
It has been sunny and windy these past few days. Most of the men in the village are helping with the work at home. It seems that there are more people in the village and there are people walking on the road.
Ye Yaodong was walking in the village carrying the meat he had just bought, and he heard the villagers gossiping again, saying that the father and son of the old Wang family were making trouble at Mouse's house again, demanding compensation for medical expenses.
Not only did they demand compensation for the medical expenses for beating the man in the past few days, but they also demanded compensation for the medical expenses for beating all the men in their family last year.
They have been wrangling for several days. In the past few days, the Wang family, who have three meals a day, have been making trouble at the house of Mouse. They have not stopped from morning to night, and the villagers have gone crazy watching the show.
At first, the relatives of the Mouse family came to help and stopped them, but later they all became weak. Who has time to stay at other people's houses all day and help them with their troubles?
Lao Wang's family was also very unreasonable. If they disagreed, the two families would get into fights, causing disaster every day. Many of the relatives and neighbors who helped to break up the fight were beaten.
In addition, what the two couples did was quite unethical, and their reputation in the village was extremely bad. No one was a masochist. In the past two days, few relatives were willing to come to help with the fight.
The village committee did not fall behind in every fight, but they only used lip service and stood in the corner, mainly letting them argue on their own. It was really that their family was too unpopular, and what they were doing was not human affairs.
"Let's just get divorced. With both families in such trouble, how can we still live together?"
"They are all trying to persuade each other to make peace. Where is the person who is trying to persuade them to break up? Who are they going to look for if we are separated? With such a bad reputation, we might as well just make it up."
"That's true..."
"I heard that Mouzi has been asking for a divorce, but Lao Wang's family refused. They said they had to let Mouzi's family compensate for the medical expenses first, and then talk about divorce."
"The mice were beaten too hard to get out of bed, right?"
"I haven't heard of that. During the two days when the fighting was more severe, relatives and neighbors helped with everything. But no one has been there these two days, so I don't know what happened. I didn't go out, and I didn't hear anything from anyone.
, now I heard that whenever he passes by his house, his mother will start to scold him, saying that everyone has bad intentions and only sees his family’s jokes..."
The faces of the villagers were filled with contempt.
Ye Yaodong could hear discussions wherever he went.
Because the weather was nice, everyone was sitting at the door, mending and weaving nets, or standing in groups of twos and threes chatting.
Some of them still had freshly washed clothes in their hands and were reluctant to go home to dry them, while others had vegetable baskets in their hands, picking vegetables on the spot and chatting.
After hearing all this, he didn't behave like his mother and went to watch the fun at other people's houses, so he went home directly. Anyway, it won't take long for what he should know to be passed on to his ears.
If he had nothing to do and came to watch the fun, he might get into trouble, not to mention that he was not interested at all in what the couple was doing.
If there is any progress or gossip, his mother will also talk about it during dinner.
By the time he got home, his father had already finished all the work the old lady had asked him to do, and he was nowhere to be seen. He wanted to ask his father to pick up the pieces in the evening without even saying a word.
He muttered a few words, and the old lady heard it and said that she had already explained it.
It's true that the two mothers and grandsons have a good understanding and want to go together.
In the evening, their whole family also got moving. All the dried fish and shrimps that were dried in the workshop were put away. The two days of rain did not cause any damage to them, and they were all dried in time.
It's not just that the spring rain is continuous, no, just two days after harvesting the dried fish, the sky was roaring again, and light rain started falling again.
Ye Chengyang was eating breakfast while looking at the lightning and thunder outside, "Why is there no power outage?"
"Crow's Mouth, are you looking forward to the power outage?"
"Hehe...it feels like we haven't had a power outage for a long time. Before, the power went out whenever it rained, and there was a strong wind."
"I have a good memory. I still remember the typhoon day."
Ye Chengyang raised his chin proudly, "Of course."
"There will be more power outages in the summer, less in the spring, and more thunderstorms in the summer."
Ye Chenghu was carrying a schoolbag and wearing rain boots with a sad face as he sat there eating breakfast, "Why do we still have to go to school on a rainy day? Why do we still have to go to school when it's getting so dark today."
"I will be beaten at home because I don't go to school."
"well……"
"Any child who sighs all day long is not allowed to sigh."
Ye Chenghu drooped his head and looked unhappy.
"The Qingming Festival will be held in two days. During the Qingming Festival, you don't have to go to school. You can go to the mountains to sweep tombs, and you can also go begging for tomb cakes."
He immediately cheered up and said, "How many days are there until Tomb-Sweeping Day?"
"The day after tomorrow."
He counted on his fingers, and his shoulders slumped again, "There are still two days! It's been a long time, and I have to study for two more days."
"It's raining. I can take my umbrella to school later."
"What's so rare? I'll take it every day." He muttered.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "Then don't take it today. Just pick a random wild taro leaf and put it on your head to go to school?"
Ye Chenghu immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak. He quickly picked up the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, ran to get the umbrella hanging behind the door, and ran away immediately.
"I'm done eating and going to school."
It rained early in the morning, and the room was dark and dark like night, and everything felt very humid. The family had no other entertainment activities. After eating, they all sat together and watched TV.
It rained continuously from morning to night.
After two days of continuous rain, it gradually stopped, and the sky also glowed with red light, dispersing the darkness.
It wasn't until the morning of Qingming Festival that it completely cleared up, but the road was muddy everywhere, and the weeds on the roadside were covered with water droplets. The fragrance of earth was everywhere, and even the smell of seafood was temporarily covered up.
Early in the morning, the whole family was also holding hoes, those holding brooms, and those holding yellow paper. They were all ready and waiting at the door.
After all three brothers came out, they were ready to set off.
A Guang also came back last night to visit the grave today, so he sent Pei Yu to Pei's house last night.
After all the men went to sweep the tomb, now only Lin Xiuqing and Ye Xiaoxi were left at home, as well as next door. Only Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were left. The other children followed them to beg for tomb cakes.
It was rare for Aunt Ye and his wife to come over early in the morning, preparing to visit the grave together.
Ye's father had already exchanged greetings with her early in the morning. It turned out that her husband's family had already visited the grave a few days ago while the weather was fine, so today they had time to come to the village and visit her parents' grave.
In fact, their cemetery hasn't been repaired yet, so it doesn't matter if they don't sweep it. After all, they haven't been completely buried in the cemetery yet, but the formality still needs to be done.
All the weeds that need to be swept around must be swept away, and all the paper money that needs to be burned must be burned. Otherwise, what are the ancestor flowers for?
"Mom, you're going even though you're old?" Aunt Ye looked in surprise as the old lady, also wearing rain boots and holding a cane, was being helped out by Ye's mother.
"My mother said that she hasn't gone up the mountain to worship in a few years. Now that she can still walk, she plans to go up the mountain to worship with us this year. I don't know if she will still be able to walk in the future," Ye Mu said.
Father Ye also said: "The road is not good. If we can't walk later, it won't be difficult for them to carry it on their backs."
"That's okay, since they are all strong young men anyway, it's okay to carry them up and down the mountain." Aunt Ye said with a smile, "Then let's go to the entrance of the village and wait for the eldest brother and the second brother?"
"Let's go, they should be waiting at the entrance of the village."
The road is still smooth now, and the old lady refuses to carry them on her back, so she walks slowly with a cane.
A large family walked toward the village in a mighty manner, and the main road in the village was basically filled with a large group of people, in groups, either holding hoes or brooms.
Everyone was walking and chatting, and it felt like the whole village was mobilizing.
Some people had already finished sweeping the tomb in advance and sat at the gate to watch.
After Ye's father's family met with Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye, everyone walked straight forward. The three brothers didn't interact with each other. They didn't smile at all, they all had a stinking look on their faces.
Fortunately, the cousins ​​of the next generation still communicated with each other, but they all gathered in front of the three brothers Ye Yaodong. As soon as they saw them coming, they all came to greet them.
The three brothers are now the most promising among their cousins, especially Ye Yaodong, who is famous all over the country.
Everyone gathered around him, chatting as they walked, which somewhat eased the awkward silence of the three brothers, Father Ye.
"Why did you bring grandma here? She's so old, just let her stay at home."
"It just rained, and the ground is wet everywhere. It's easy to fall."
Ye Yaopeng repeated the same rhetoric his mother had said before, but the others remained silent and had no opinions.
If you want to go, then go.
The old lady didn't cry all the way to the grave as she said before. That would be too ugly and a loss of face. After all, she was still her biological son.
Even if your family is noisy, you can't be embarrassed and thrown outside.
The affairs of one's own family should be settled by one's own family, there is no need to make others laugh.
Aunt Ye and Second Aunt Ye didn't come as usual, so Mother Ye went with her because she wanted to support the old lady.
When it was time to walk up the mountain road, the brothers all started to take turns carrying the old lady on their backs, and the children all disappeared and went to beg for tomb cakes. Anyway, when the tomb was swept later, all of them would naturally come back.
Uncle Ye frowned as he looked at it, "Why are you following me? There's no point in causing trouble. The road is not easy to walk, and you have to carry it on your back. If you don't stand properly and fall down, it will be everyone's fault."
Uncle Ye also followed: "That's right, when you are old, just stay at home. This road is not easy for young people to walk, let alone you, an old man. When the tomb is repaired, you can come here to pay homage."
Isn’t it the same for you?”
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the tomb repaired when I die. If I don't come here to pay my respects now, I might not have the chance next year. I already have half a foot in the coffin. Who knows how long I can eat?"
"No matter what, I have agreed with my third son that we will find someone to repair the tomb after the Qingming Festival."
"The boss doesn't agree. He thinks we want to force him, a living person, to death because of a dead person."
Uncle Ye had a stinking look on his face, "You are already so many years late. How much difference can you make in a few years? You are all rich, you are not short of money, or you have many sons, and they are all around you. It won't be much if you share it. I
No, I have no one and no money, so what can I use to top it off?"
"As long as you agree, Dongzi can help with the money..."
"That's not possible. If he pays for it, then do I want to be buried in it? Will you bury it for me? Will it become the clan tomb of the third child's room?"
"He paid it first, and you will give it to him when you have money..."
"Then I haven't actually contributed this money, so why won't my ancestors bless me? This kind of ancestral matter must be paid for by everyone together. Let's wait a few years to discuss it. You also know my current situation, and I have to hurry up and stop now.
You are talking about repairing the tomb, can you take care of us living people first?"
The old lady angrily picked up her cane and was about to hit him, but he dodged her. She walked a few steps quickly and walked to the front, regardless of everyone behind her.
The simple cemetery where the ashes are placed is coming soon.
Ye Erbo didn't know what to say. Since Ye Yaohong came in, the two brothers have become more distant and are no longer as close to each other as before. After all, his son was also defrauded of money. He didn't even know that Uncle Ye had not been there yet.
agree.
The three Ye Yaodong brothers have known Uncle Ye's attitude for a long time, and their expressions did not change.
But the other group of cousins ​​all looked at each other and were silent.
The old lady cursed angrily, "What's the use of having a son like this? It would have been better to just drown him in a urine bucket. It doesn't make any sense, it's just unfilial."
"What evil have I done? I just built a tomb, which is good for everyone. I also asked your father to bless and protect you. But one by one, this one refused and the other refused. It's no use even talking about it.
…”
"Everyone had difficulties in the past few years, so there's nothing to say. Things have gotten better in the past few years. It's because of the blessings of our ancestors. You can't blame others for the boss's bad situation. Let's help together to get the money out and save the tomb."
When it comes to repairs, wouldn't it be the same as writing an IOU..."
"You want to make me mad, and you also want to leave me with no place to bury me after I die..."
The old lady got more and more angry as she talked. She took the crutch and hit Uncle Ye's back as close as possible.
Uncle Ye's pain didn't hurt much, but when he saw all the people sweeping the tomb around him, his face changed and he quickly explained, "I am willing, mother, I have no objection, I agree to repair the tomb, and I am also willing to pay for it.
After so many years, it’s time to build a tomb for our father..."
Ye's father hurriedly walked to Ye Yaodong's side to avoid hitting him with the crutch later. If others saw him and thought he was unfilial, he should be careful behind the scenes.
Others also quickly advised the old lady.
"We're almost there. Don't move around. Otherwise, it's been a rainy day and the road will be slippery and the mountain road won't be easy to walk on. If one of you doesn't fall, two of you will fall. It doesn't matter if we young people fall, but don't worry about it."
If you fall, you will be in trouble."
"Yeah, don't move around. If you have anything to say later, let's all help talk to the uncle."
"It's just that the people coming and going on the mountain are all incense sticks. It doesn't look good..."
"You all know that it's not good-looking. He's been eaten into the dog's belly as long as he's old."
The old lady cursed and then stopped. She turned a corner and entered the cemetery.
There are overgrown weeds all around, and some roads are often walked by people, but fortunately it is much easier to walk than the muddy steep slopes on the way up the mountain, and there is grass on the ground, so it will not be slippery or slippery when you step on it.
A foot of mud.
When everyone arrived at the place, Uncle Ye and his son were already there, and Uncle Ye had already knelt down and cried in advance.
"...Why do I have such a miserable life? I am already over fifty years old, and I still have no hope at all in my life..."
"Dad... I really have no choice. If I have money, can I not build your tomb? I really have no money. I only have two sons in total. One of them was destroyed. He hasn't been born for several years. Now I only have one left.
With my son by my side, life is tight, and I feel really helpless..."
"Father, you must also bless and bless me, bless and bless Afan. We are all our biological sons and grandsons. When we have money, we will definitely build your tomb, a big tomb so that you can lie down comfortably."
Here, I will burn a lot of paper money for you so that you can live a more comfortable life down there..."
"I really have no choice now. You should also be considerate and considerate of me and protect me. I will kowtow to you. I can't afford to kneel for a long time..."
As soon as the old lady was put down, she immediately stepped forward and hit her with a cane.
"Bless you, you have to build a tomb. You can't even bear to build a tomb. How can you ask your father to bless you? You can get tens of thousands of dollars, but you still don't have enough money to build a tomb?"
"When you were so rich, why didn't you think about building a tomb? You only thought about yourself and raising you was in vain. Fortunately, I didn't live with you in old age. If you did, you wouldn't think I was a burden and just kill me.
I will drive you out to beg for food."
"Mom, I really can't come up with this money. You know what's going on with my family. A Hong still has a lot of money hanging there, and the family has been emptied out a long time ago..."
"I've already said that Dongzi can use the money to repair it first. When the time comes, it will be your share if you write an IOU. As long as you can think of paying it back, what's the difference?"
"How can it be the same? After all, it was all his fault."
"Then you go borrow it from someone else. There are four daughters in the family. Each of us can borrow a little and help out. Is there anything else you can do? What is the point of giving birth to a daughter? Giving birth to a daughter is a critical time. If you need help, just help if you can.
Leave the family alone, otherwise you will have to raise them all in vain. When you get married, you will no longer need your natal family?"
"It's easy to borrow anywhere..."
The old lady immediately sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Oh, you deliberately didn't want your father to be buried. You just wanted to let him be exposed to the wind and rain. The old man's life is miserable. Even if he dies, he won't feel at ease.
There is no place to bury..."
"How dare I die? When I die, I will have no place to bury myself. I don't dare to die, I don't dare to die...Old man, please help me live longer so that I can scold them and urge them to
As soon as you urge them, they will build a tomb for you..."
"So that after we die, we will have to be lonely ghosts without even a place to bury..."
Everyone was so frightened when they heard the old lady speaking so seriously that they quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
Doesn't this sound like death without a burial place? Everyone's faces turned pale.
People live for the sake of life and death.
"Mom, we were wrong, fix it immediately, fix it immediately, don't say this..."
"Yes, yes, we will find workers to repair the tomb as soon as we come down from the mountain..."
"Yeah, don't be like this. We'll make the cemetery big so Dad can lie down comfortably..."
Everyone who treated me as a son or a grandson also knelt on the ground and encouraged me one by one.
Uncle Ye's face turned pale and he was speechless.
Ye Yaofan also hurriedly spoke up, "Father, let's just agree. Everyone says to fix it, but if you don't fix it, my father will be angry even underground."
"Old man, if you can hear me, you go to the boss and talk to him at night. It's useless for us to say it. If you want to have a place to bury yourself, just tell him in your dream..."
"I enjoy the blessing of children and grandchildren, but you don't. There is nothing I can do for you. I can only burn more paper money for you. There is nothing else I can do. I am old and my words are of no use. Every one of them is...
If you don't take me seriously, you will treat me as an immortal, so I can only come here today to ask you to help me..."
"You have to rely on yourself. I can't do it anymore. I'm useless..."
Father Ye broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. He didn't expect his mother to speak so harshly when she said it, which made him panic, "No...Mom...eldest brother must have agreed. Let's weed the weeds first..."
"What's the point of weeding? There's not even a proper cemetery. Who else can I lay down on? I can't even lie down..."
Uncle Ye also hurriedly went to pull Uncle Ye, who was pale and sweating profusely, "Speak quickly, you have to fix it in the morning and in the evening. Agree earlier and fix it earlier. What can you do? If there is a way, ah
Hong has been released a long time ago, and his sentence can be commuted if he is inside anyway. You might as well repair the tomb as soon as possible, and ask dad to bless him and help him come out soon, and also wish that your life will be easier."
"Maybe it's because dad thinks we are unfilial and has already blessed Dongzi. Let's be more sincere in the future, burn more incense, burn more paper money, and say goodbye more often."
Aunt Ye also pointed at Uncle Ye's nose and scolded: "Are you going to make mother angry to death, or are you going to be so angry that our father climbs out of the ground and beats you? How difficult can it be to build a tomb? Do you want to be buried in it in the future?
?Be careful if dad asks you in your dream to scold you to death at night. Now in front of him, you won’t say a word."
"No...no..."
"How much will it cost to repair the tomb at that time? I will lend it to you first, and you just need to write me an IOU. In this way, it will still be your money..."
Uncle Ye nodded, but the old lady didn't see it.
The old lady continued to cry, "Old man, I don't know how long I can live. I probably won't be able to go up the mountain to see you next year. When I die..."
He hurriedly knelt down in front of the old lady and said, "Mother... mother... I was wrong, I was wrong, repair, repair, repair, repair, repair, repair, repair, repair my father's tomb."
"How can you sell iron to beg for food? How can I make you hungry? No matter how difficult life is, can it be as difficult as when you were children? You all grew up drinking my blood. You didn't have milk to drink at that time.
You can only drink blood. If I have a bite to eat, you will never starve to death..."
"Yeah, okay, okay..."
"When the time comes to build the tomb, let Afan work with him. He will also have work to do, and he can also calculate some wages to subsidize it. It doesn't cost much to build a cemetery. It's almost enough to pay for it with work. The whole day
Calling me "no money, no money"... I'm calling you bad luck..."
Uncle Ye had nothing to say at this moment and just nodded.
"Then we agreed, let's stand up first, everyone, stand up first, mother, yours is too scary and unlucky." Father Ye quickly helped the old lady up.
"Why is it so scary? I'm telling the truth, isn't it? This tomb has not been repaired yet, how can I dare to die? I have to open one eye and watch even if I die?"
"Stop talking, stop talking, just sit aside and rest while we remove all the grass around you. Then we will choose this area to build the tomb, right?"
Uncle Ye said hesitantly: "Just build it here? Do you want to find someone to look at where the feng shui is better?"
"I think the feng shui here is quite good. For several years, everyone has been safe and sound, with no illness or disaster..."
Ye Yaofan was about to speak but stopped, and did not dare to say anything.
Uncle Ye saw that the old lady had sat up and stopped crying. He also calmed down and spoke.
"Let's choose a new cemetery. I think the land here is not good for our family. It's better to choose a plot that is good for everyone."
"What's wrong? What does it have to do with Feng Shui?" Father Ye said rudely.
"Bad Feng Shui affects people..."
"It's not about character, it's about Feng Shui. We have already decided to be buried here from the beginning. We also applied to the village committee a few years ago, and we will be buried here in the future."
"The only thing that can be changed is to go to the village committee and say hello. What's so difficult about that? It doesn't cost money."
"But this land has been inspected by others. People say it is good here. If you go to someone to inspect it again, wouldn't it be the same?"
"Where can it be the same? It would be better to look at a piece of land again..."
Father Ye and Uncle Ye were arguing back and forth, and it was not their junior's turn to talk about choosing a cemetery.
And Uncle Ye is also hesitant. In the past few years, his family has said that it is good or bad, and it is not bad at all. Who knows whether it is good or bad to change the cemetery?
Ye Yaodong frowned and looked at his father, arguing with his uncle, and everyone else was listening.
"How about we weed it first? Regardless of whether it is built here or not, the weeds around it need to be removed. The grass is taller than the urn."
"Then let's go out and weed first. The uncle and the third uncle will discuss it first..."
"Then let's tidy up first..."
After agreeing to build the tomb, the site selection became another big issue. The two old men over fifty years old argued so hard that neither could convince the other.
Of course, this cemetery is good for Father Ye. After all, their family has become more and more prosperous in recent years, rising steadily and prospering.
But for Uncle Ye, the past few years have been extremely miserable. The ancestral cemetery is related to the feng shui of future generations. How can he be buried here directly and affect the feng shui of their family in the future?
Everything can be compromised, but the feng shui of future generations cannot be compromised.
Ye Yaodong felt a headache after hearing this. In his previous life, it was actually his uncle who took the lead in repairing the tomb.
Because two years later, in 1987, the old lady accidentally fell down in the vegetable field at the back door of the old house and lost her life. At that time, Ye Yaohong had made a fortune in the past few years, so he just wanted to build a tomb and kill the old man.
Buried together with the old lady.
When it was brought up at that time, everyone agreed without saying a word, and the three bedrooms were shared equally. They also chose this cemetery without any changes, and it was resolved directly and harmoniously.
No problems, no bad sounds.
As a result, they are now having to argue over the location, and his uncle's family no longer wants this cemetery.
If this problem is not solved, the tomb cannot be repaired and it will have to return to the starting point.
Until the grass about ten meters in diameter around them was removed, the yellow paper was burned, and the firecrackers were about to be set off, the two old men still had not settled their dispute.
"It's okay to repair the tomb. I don't have any objection. The three of us will share the money equally, but we have to re-select this cemetery. We'll ask an old man to look at it again. We will share the money equally."
"I've seen it all, this is it..."
“It just doesn’t work here!”
…
When the children ran back, they listened to the quarrel from a distance. They didn't even have to look to see if they had gone the wrong way. They came after hearing the sound, and then each one of them stood next to their father very honestly.
superior.
"What's wrong dad?"
"Children, don't ask so many questions."
The old lady listened to their quarrel and had no idea. Who can say accurately about Feng Shui? If one person is not buried well and affects future generations, then it will be a big sin.
"Dad, go ask the Bodhisattva. Don't all the ladies like to ask the Bodhisattva?"
This child's voice seemed particularly abrupt, and everyone heard it.
"What kind of Bodhisattva do you ask? You have to ask a gentleman who knows how to read Feng Shui..."
The old lady frowned and said, "Stop arguing, go and pay your respects first, put the incense on it, and then I'll go back to the temple and throw the Holy Grail to see if the Bodhisattva says you need to change it or not. If you don't need to change it,
Just choose this piece of land. If you want to change it, we can ask a gentleman who knows Feng Shui to come and take a look."
"Is this possible? Usually the Bodhisattva doesn't agree, but you can throw it several times?" Uncle Ye questioned.
"I'll just throw it down once this time. Let's see what the Bodhisattva says. Uh... let's ask Mazu? Thean Hou Temple is closer. They are all gods. It should be the same to anyone you ask."
"How can this be such a child's play? It's better to ask someone who knows more to come over and take a look first."
"Ask Mazu, who knows if people who read Feng Shui have good spirits? At that time, this piece of land was said to be very good in Feng Shui and could prosper our family's descendants. If it was really good, why would we need to look at the land again? We only need to wait a long time.
The future generations will naturally get better and better. If you think this piece of land is not good, can you just change it to another piece of land and it will be better? Anyway, he can't tell for sure, it won't work."
The old lady said that Uncle Ye was a little hesitant.
"That's it for now. I'll go back and ask around first. Maybe this land has good Feng Shui, but your family just hasn't benefited yet. It will take a few years for everyone to take turns to make a fortune."
"We are already so unlucky, and we can't be more unlucky. It's extremely bad, so of course it will get better."
Father Ye couldn't help but said: "Perhaps it could be even worse. It's just because of the blessing of my ancestors that I have only been incarcerated for ten years. It doesn't matter much for Afan. He will be released in a few months."
When Uncle Ye heard this, his veins bulged. He casually grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it towards Father Ye.
The old lady also hit Father Ye with a cane, "What did you say?"
Father Ye slapped himself in the mouth and smiled sheepishly, "I'm talking nonsense, but you have to think about the good in everything. This is absolutely true. You can't just think about the bad luck..."
The old lady tried to smooth things over, "When the cemetery is repaired and the old man can lie down properly and have a place to rest, he will be able to protect you better. It will definitely be better than now."
"Hurry up and take turns to offer incense. After offering incense, you can go back and ask the Bodhisattva."
"Then burn incense and take turns..."
After a fuss and a quarrel, everyone now kept to themselves and obediently took turns to offer three sticks of incense first.
Ye Yaodong didn't care, and he didn't have the nerve to make a wish. He was afraid that his grandfather hadn't even finished digesting last year's wish, so he honestly burned three sticks of incense.
If he still wants to make a wish, he must give his grandfather a favor, repair the cemetery, and then make a few more wishes.
After everyone finished lighting incense and burning paper money, they bowed together and then set off firecrackers.
A basket of tomb cakes that was originally prepared in advance, but no one dared to approach it amid their quarrels. Those who originally came to ask for the tomb cakes gave up after hearing the fierce quarrel.
So much so that when they brought up a basket, no one could divide it, and the basket remained intact.
"What should we do? We've ordered a basket of tomb cakes, and we can't withdraw from them. We were so noisy here just now that no one dared to come close."
"We should divide the two or three of our own people here, and we can take them back to fill our stomachs."
"Then divide the child between two adults and three, so as not to carry it back intact."
"Okay, let's just divide it among ourselves."
Each of the children had a large string of tomb cakes worn around their necks. There were at least seven or eight of them. After just one or two hours of walking up the mountain, all of them were quite able to run.
Seeing that they could still share their own tomb cakes, they all happily took off the ropes around their necks, untied the rope at one end, strung two more ones in, and then put them on their heads, leaving a round string on their chests.
It's the same for both boys and girls.
Ye Yaodong also tied the string for Ye Chengyang and put it on his head, "Look at your pants and body. They are all covered in mud. Did you fall while running?"
"Yes, the mud on the road is so slippery that I fell several times."
"I will be beaten again if I go back."
“There is a washing machine!”
"Oh, this is convenient for you? Are you worried about not having any clothes to change?"
"As Mrs. Tai said, the washing machine is so good that it can be dried immediately after dehydration. We are not afraid of being covered in mud every day."
"Let's go home."
Everyone was walking around and nibbling on the cakes. He also took one and nibbled on it as he walked. It was salty and delicious.
The old lady was carried down the mountain by several of their cousins ​​as usual.
On the way down the mountain, only his cousins ​​spoke as usual, while his father and three brothers continued to remain silent.
"Shall we go to the temple with grandma to throw the Holy Grail later?"
"Should we go too? Just my dad and the others can go, right? Anyway, it's the three of them who make the decision. Let the three of them accompany the old lady to the temple to throw a stone and be a witness."
"Should we ask Bodhisattva? Or should we ask Mazu?"
"The Mazu Temple is closer. They are all the same gods." The old lady said on her back.
Ye Yaodong felt that it was childish when he heard this, but he knew that his father would not agree to changing the cemetery anyway. With his father following him, he could rest assured.
A group of people walked slowly down the mountain. Many people on the mountain were also sweeping graves. There were people from this village, from the next village, and from surrounding villages. Those they knew were greeted, and those they didn't knew were left to their own devices.
Ye Yaodong watched Ye Chengyang fall a little with three steps and a big fall with five steps. He was afraid that he would stain the cake on his neck, so he kindly helped him take it off, and then watched him walk.
He fell and slid to the bottom of the mountain.
The whole person looked like he had been fished out of the mud. The top of his chest was clean, but the bottom of his chest was extremely dirty. It was almost impossible to tell the original color of his clothes.
A group of children also laughed at him all the way, but all of them had fallen down more or less, and their bodies were covered in mud. It was a complete joke.
The same goes for other people's children. Even if they don't fall down on this kind of rainy mountain road, they will still be kicked by mud.
"Yangyang, you are going to beat your mother!"
"Same for you."
"I'm taller than my mother, and my mother can't hit me." Ye Chenghai said happily.
Ye Chenghu said proudly: "I have a washing machine at home!"
"Then you still have to be beaten if you get dirty."
"But I have a washing machine at home!"
"Then you are still dirty."
"But I have a washing machine at home!"
"Fuck...shut up..."
Ye Yaopeng immediately lowered his face and yelled, "Ye Chenghai, what did you say?"
Ye Chenghu jumped up and down happily and shook his head, making them angry, "I have a washing machine at home~"
"I want to hit you!"
"I have a washing machine at home~"
Everyone was so angry with him that they all chased him.
He turned around and took a look. He was so frightened that he ran away immediately, "Ah! What are you doing?"
"Don't run away, come here and give us a good beating first."
"Ah... don't..."
"Dongzi, have you bought a washing machine?" The others looked at him enviously after hearing this.
"Well, it keeps raining, and the children's clothes cannot be dried, and they are all wet every day. Buying a washing machine will save Aqing a lot of trouble. She is also very busy now."
"You're really rich. It's worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, right?"
"Just a few hundred yuan."
"At once"
"Does your family have everything now? When are you going to buy a refrigerator? I heard that the refrigerator is getting older, bigger and more expensive!"
"I heard that there are color TVs now. They are color TVs, not our black and white ones..."
"Yes, when will you buy it, let us all see it..."
"Then you pray more for me to get rich. When I can afford it, I will tell you and let you see it."
"hehe……"
Who wants to pray for you to get rich?
Everyone is complaining in their hearts. They are already so rich, and they still want to pray for him to get rich. If they can pray, they must pray for themselves.
Ye Yaodong also looked at everyone's expressions with a smile.
The old lady said: "Tell your grandpa to bless and protect you."
Everyone:"……"
