Next chapter

"It's the yin qi on the mountain, today is Qingming, there are many people who worship their ancestors, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts on the mountain will also come out one after another, grab some offerings, the yin qi on the whole mountain is very heavy, and it is easy to scare the children in the belly. ●⌒，.” Ye Rongrong said.

"If I don't go, will our parents blame me?" Liu Jingjing said with some uneasiness.

"How can it be, you are pregnant, they are too late to be happy in the spirit of heaven, how can I blame you, I don't think they want you to see them now. Ye Rongrong said.

"Well, then I'll stay at home. ”

Liu Jingqing thought for a while and said. Now in Liu Jingqing's heart, the child in the belly is the first, as soon as he heard his man say that if he goes up the mountain today, he will scare the child, and Liu Jingqing will cancel the plan to go up the mountain to sweep the grave of his in-laws.

……

With a hoe on his shoulder, a sickle on his waist, and a basket in each hand, he went up the mountain with "Xiaobai".

"Glory, went to the grave so early. ”

Ye Xiangde looked at Ye Rongrong with some surprise and said. Ye Rongrong is a well-known lazy person in the village, although he has the ability now, but he is still a lazy person, and he basically can't see his figure until ten o'clock in the morning.

I didn't expect to go up the mountain to sweep the grave so early today, before eight o'clock.

"Isn't this Qingming? It's not too late to sweep the graves of the elders. Ye Rongrong said.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Ye Xiangde nodded and said.

"Grandpa Xiangde, you check, I'll go up the mountain. Ye Rongrong said to Ye Xiangde.

Every year, there are many people who go to the mountain to sweep the grave during the Qingming Festival, and in the past few years, because the people who go to the tomb to sweep the tomb do not pay attention to the control of fireworks, causing a lot of forest fires.

In recent years, every year during the Qingming Festival, every road leading to the mountain forest with graves is guarded by a special old man, mainly to check whether there are anything that will cause fires.

In fact, it is paper money, candles, firecrackers and other things.

It stands to reason that these things are not allowed to be brought, and now it is popular to send flowers to the tomb on the mountain, which is the time of the Qingming Festival. Passing by and buying everywhere, fifteen yuan, twenty yuan a blue flower.

It is allowed to bring such flowers that will not cause a fire to the grave, and paper money, candles, firecrackers and other things that can cause open flames are not allowed.

But that's what the rules are. There are also special people guarding the intersection to check, in fact, paper money, candles, firecrackers and other things, those old people guarding the intersection will still be released.

After all, these are for the dead ancestors, if you really stop people from burning these paper money for the ancestors. If people's ancestors don't have money to spend underground, they will come to the door.

The consequences of this are very strict, especially these people who are guarding the intersection are some old people, who are much more superstitious than young people, how can they really stop you.

Basically, you have to explain, after the sacrifice, you have to check it, and all the open flames must be extinguished, so as not to cause a fire, otherwise it is. Whoever burns the mountain goes to jail.

And this Ye Xiangde is the brother of the old village chief Ye Xianghai, and he is the one who guards the mountain intersection every year, after all, this intersection is two hundred yuan a day, but it is very easy to hold, and there are still many old people who want to do it, but who to do it is a matter of the old village chief Ye Xianghai's words.

Ye Xiangde is the brother of the old village chief. This kind of good thing, of course, will not pull him down.

"You don't need to check it, just pay attention and remember to put out the fire. ”

Ye Xiangde said. It's all from the same village. Ye Rongrong is a well-known figure in the village again, and Ye Xiangde is of course convenient.

"Then thank you. ”

After Ye Rongrong finished speaking, he carried his things and went to the mountain.

Because Qingming is a family action, many young people have not gotten up at this time, and many families have not gone up the mountain at this point in time. So the whole mountain, now it's still deserted, and there are no people.

Ye Rongrong saw that he couldn't see anyone, so he didn't care so much, and used the "Ling Bo Microstep" to walk quickly on the mountain forest.

This time it was a big dog with "Xiaobai", and he couldn't keep up with Ye Rongrong's speed at all, so tired that "Xiaobai" gasped, and his four legs kept chasing quickly in the direction of Ye Rongrong's walking.

If "Xiaobai" could speak, he would probably be foul-mouthed by now, and he is still a human being? Even dogs can't catch up with him.

Because of the "Ling Bo Microstep", Ye Rongrong's speed was very fast, and in a few minutes, he arrived at the grave of his grandfather and grandmother.

Ye Rongrong's grandfather only has two children, one is Ye Rongrong's father, and the other is Ye Rongrong's aunt, but this aunt is the same as Ye Rongrong's eldest sister, she is married to other provinces, and it is rare to come back once in a few years.

"Grandpa, grandma, it's Qingming Festival again, my grandson is here to sweep your grave, I have good news for you, your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant this year, and there are follow-up people in our Ye family, so I didn't let her come to the grave this year, I'm afraid of encountering unclean things on the road, so please grandpa, grandma, don't blame her, next year, Qin Jing and I will take the child to the grave to sweep the grave for you......"

"There is also a grandson who sues you for one thing that also makes you happy, that is, your grandson is now a professor, a professor at Zhejiang South University, a senior intellectual, this is the first one in our village, hehe, but I am afraid of scaring the people in the village, as well as our relatives, I didn't sue them......"

Ye Rongrong knelt down in front of the graves of his grandfather and grandmother, and slowly told them to him.

After talking to his grandfather and grandmother for more than ten minutes, Ye Rongrong got up and took a sickle and began to cut the weeds that grew around the grave, if some weeds grew on the grave, they must be pulled out by the roots, lest the weeds grow again, and the roots of the grass will grow deeper and deeper, destroying the grave.

Because it was cut very carefully, it took an hour to cut the weeds around the grave, and in an inconspicuous position on the edge of the grave, Ye Rongrong took out the broom that had been placed here and swept the grave up and down.

After finishing these, Ye Rongrong picked up the hoe and began to add some new soil to the graves of his grandfather and grandmother.

Ye Rongrong began to light incense and candles, lit incense candles in front of the grave, and also lit incense candles on both sides of the grave, the incense candles on both sides were given to the land of the mountain god who took care of the cemetery, praying that the land of the mountain god would protect the cemetery and bless the souls of the ancestors.

After distributing the paper money and "big baggage" in front of the graves of his grandfather and grandmother, he lit them with a lighter, and when all these things were burned.

Ye Rongrong took out a string of firecrackers from the basket and began to put them up.

Soon, crackling, crackling could be heard throughout the mountain.

Although it is not allowed to light incense and candles and set off firecrackers on the tomb on the Qingming Festival, in the mountainous areas of the countryside, it is not so strict.

The main purpose of lighting firecrackers on the grave during Qingming is to drive away ghosts and bad things.

After all, when we go to the grave to worship our ancestors, we just hope that the paper money and other things we burn will only be enjoyed by our ancestors, not other ghosts, so the purpose of setting off firecrackers after we go to the grave is to drive away other ghosts to rob things from our ancestors.

Another reason is that people always feel that going to these places is not clean, so firecrackers are set off after going to the grave to ward off evil spirits.

After setting off the firecrackers, Ye Rongrong extinguished the fire of the incense candle, which was to prevent the fire.

Not long after Ye Rongrong finished setting off the firecrackers, there were many children, and even a few adult men and women came over with children, which was to ask for something.

At this point in Minzhou, when Qingming went to the grave to sweep the tomb, he had to send things to the people who came to cheer.

Ye Rongrong couldn't help but remember going back to his childhood.

At that time, the Qingming Festival was not a sad day for Ye Rongrong and these children, the children were still young, and many of them had never met their deceased ancestors, and they had no feelings.

During the Qingming season, they did not feel sad, but felt that it was a happy day, because on this day, they could ask for a lot of food and money.

Ye Rongrong remembered that when he was a child, on the day of Qingming Festival, he went up the mountain with his friends early, and when he saw who was sweeping the tomb, he waited there, and after the people finished sweeping the tomb, he waited to divide things.

At that time, it was basically a share of food, all biscuits, candy and other things, of course, there were also individual people who directly sent money, at that time, who sent three yuan, five fast is terrible, will attract a lot of people who hear the news to beg, and even many adults.

Generally, as long as they have not left the grave, if you rush over, they will give it to you, but once you leave the grave, they will not give you anything, and you have nothing to say.

At that time, at the end of the day, the snacks that Ye Rongrong begged for could be packed in a plastic bag, and there was a lot of change, which could catch up with the New Year's money, so for children, the Qingming Festival was a particularly happy day.

With the development of the economy, people now sweep the grave basically will not send anything to eat, after all, now people's living conditions are better, these things to eat, even children are not rare, not to mention adults, if you send candy and other things to eat, others will dislike it, think that you are stingy at home.

Nowadays, people are cleaning tombs and finding gold, generally five or ten yuan, of course, the more rich people are, there are fifty or one hundred for a person.

Now the children in the countryside, the Qingming Festival holiday, go to the mountains early to beg for money, and now the children are very smart, will not wait stupidly, but find a place with many people to wait, where to set off firecrackers, they will run over quickly, basically can catch up with the money, and then quickly run to the next place.

If you are lucky, a child will have thousands of incomes in one day, and one or two hundred if you are less.

After all, now that everyone's living conditions are better, one or two yuan can no longer be used, and it is generally at least five yuan to start.
