Chapter 695: Begging for Tomb Cakes

His grandfather had a difficult life at that time, begging for food and coming to the beach alone, and then he took root in their village and settled down, and then worked diligently, built a house with the help of the villagers, and married a daughter-in-law.

At the end of the day, he wasn't a native either.

His grandfather was not in a position to build a cemetery in advance, and after his death, his father and his family temporarily built a coffin-shaped tomb out of stone, as long as it could be placed in the coffin.

Speaking of this, Father Ye sighed.

"A few years ago, I had a loose hand, I told your uncle and second uncle that I wanted to repair the tomb of your grandfather, the family is full of labor, just hire a master, the materials don't cost much, everyone goes out together, and it doesn't cost much for the three of them to share it evenly."

As a result, they pushed back and said, saying that they had no money, and they would say anything later. Said that there is no outside wind and sun, it is already better than some people, how many people's tombs are like this, and after a few years, they are about to enter the ground, and then everyone will pay for a larger one, a few more positions. ”

Ye Yaodong frowned, "I should have thought that I was about to lie down, and then I repaired it for myself?" It's a pity to repair the tomb in advance? ”

"I just can't afford to pay."

"It always has to be paid, grandpa, everyone has a share, it is always necessary to repair the tomb early and repair the tomb late, and the early repair can be cheaper."

When his uncles hang up, some of them will wait, and it will be twenty or thirty years later, and they will not be allowed to build a cemetery in the future.

The old lady doesn't know how many years she can live, so she can't just build one temporarily, repair one in advance and put it there, and be prepared in the future.

In many of their old people's houses in the countryside, the coffins were still prepared on the beams in advance, just to not panic temporarily, and the ancient emperors heard that they had just taken the throne and began to build the mausoleum.

"Alas, you have to cover it, your grandma is over 80 years old, who knows how many years you can eat? But your two uncles are not in a hurry, they are not happy to repair now, and I can't just pay for it myself, the three brothers have to pay for it together and build it together. ”

"I'm annoyed, I told them about it a few days ago, and I just said that I didn't have any money. Forget it, let's wait two years, your two cousins have entered, and your uncle doesn't look so good at being in good spirits, so it's not good to quarrel with him. ”

"Then we will repair it at our own expense, and after the repair, it will be our own house."

"How's that going to work? They were all born to a father, how could this tomb repair leave them? Let's talk about it a year or two later. ”

That's really depressing enough, their family can't build a cemetery and bury his grandfather and grandmother in their family cemetery, leaving aside his uncle, who is also their father and mother, and they also have a share.

Even Ye Yaodong is not happy now.

"Then if they don't build it all the time, will we really wait until twenty or thirty years from now?"

"Then you can't wait so long, let's talk about it, let's wait two years later. Let's see if any of your cousins have any money, as long as one of them is willing to pay for it, the other is okay. ”

That's all there is to it.

It's also the Qingming Festival, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of such a thing as repairing the tomb, and he would be an unfilial descendant.

Think about it, yesterday the old lady was in a bad mood all day, and it is estimated that repairing the tomb is also the top priority for the old man now.

This year, Qingming can only sweep the tomb first, and next year see if he can change a feng shui treasure for his family.

There is still no shortage of roof tiles in their house, and there is a small pile in the corner, which is left over from building a house and kept for backup, after all, every year there is a typhoon, and the roof has to be repaired every year.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua are repairing together, and the speed will be a little faster, and it will be repaired in more than an hour.

He and his father held on to the stairs, and let them both climb down slowly before finishing their work and going home.

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also seemed to be fine, discussing there as they walked, and one person caught a few piglets to raise them together.

Ye Yaohua also smiled to alleviate the unhappiness just now, "Two people raise it together, and share the life together, it can be a little easier." ”

Second sister-in-law Ye: "It's easy to say, if you raise too much, you will be tired, just beating pigweed and cooking pig food all day long is tiring enough." ”

"Why don't you get tired? What kind of money is easy to make? Ye Yaopeng also said.

Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Ye suddenly said in a sly manner: "I heard that some seaside fishermen in the south don't fish now, and the larger fishing boats are used to pull foreign goods, and thieves make money, and they can earn hundreds or thousands of yuan in one trip, and they ...... money."

Ye Yaopeng hurriedly said: "This can't be used to talk about ......"

Ye Yaohua also hurriedly refused, "We can't do this illegal thing, there are a lot of people who have been arrested in three days, and I heard that many were shot last year." Can't do it, can't do it, we're just ordinary people, and life is not unbearable. ”

"I heard that the one in our village, the one who bought our previous foundation, is dedicated to doing this, I heard that there are a lot of things piled up in the house, and I don't know if it's true or not, I used to look at a lot of workers, but I haven't seen it in the past few months."

"What are you doing in stewardship? Just take care of yourself. ”

Ye Yaodong listened silently on the side, there is no impermeable wall in this world, after a long time, there will always be people who know, speculation and speculation will only increase the curiosity of others, the more and more, the more people know that it is.

However, it is estimated that they have a lot of bases, and it is not necessarily just the one in the village, and if they do not appear for a while, they can be stabilized.

It's a nodding friend, and he also hopes that people will make a lot of money in peace and security, and have multiple friends and multiple paths.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the center of the village, he changed the topic and said: "Dad said that tomorrow morning from seven to nine o'clock is good, let us get up early to sweep the tomb, there is no time to order the cake, when the time comes, I will bring more coins, and the cake will not be enough to send money." ”

"Send money? Give money directly? ”

"Huh? Can you still give money directly? Aren't they all for the grave cake? ”

They hurriedly asked questions, and at the same time, their attention was shifted.

"The group of children in the family is estimated to have brought back a pile of cakes today......"

"I don't know if it's enough, anyway, if it's not enough, just send money, save a little trouble, and it's more popular, anyway, there is no place to book it at this time."

Ye Yaohua thought about it and felt that this seemed to be okay, "Then you can bring some money for backup, how much will be spent at that time, we will share it evenly, and we don't need to ask my father to pay." ”

His father's three brothers take turns to bear the cost of tomb sweeping every year, and this year it is also his father's turn to be the chief priest, and the other two uncles only need someone to follow them to sweep the tomb and weed.

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Sister-in-law Ye said hesitantly: "It seems that I haven't seen anyone sweeping the tomb and giving money......

Second sister-in-law Ye said happily: "What's that?" Don't you have to spend money to buy light cakes? It's better to discount, and if it were me, I'd rather take the money. This is a good idea, and it also saves too many light cakes, and it can't be sent, and it's a waste to eat at home. ”

Other people think about it, and it's the same reason, money and cake, they must choose money.

Ye Yaopeng also relieved at this time, and said: "We don't have many coins in our family, but there are more Dongzi coins, you can cushion them first, and then we will share them together." ”

"Well, you can just have no opinion."

It was almost four o'clock at this time, and as they walked down the main road in the village, they could see people coming back with hoes and brooms.

After eating at noon, I went to sweep the grave, and it was about the same at this point, and the person with the clean grave would come back a little earlier.

Some of the children who were playing on the road also had a bare cake in their hands, and some of them followed behind these people with hoes and brooms, and were driven away by the adults, saying that they had returned from sweeping the tomb, and then scattered.

Some of the children were covered in mud, so dirty that they could hardly see their shoes, the color of their pants, and a large string of light cakes hung around their necks, and they knew that they had just returned from the mountains.

When Ye Yaodong and the others came home, they also saw their children jumping around the door, and a large string of light cakes hanging around their necks, making a lot of noise.

"I counted, I have 16!"

"Then I must have 16 ...... too"

"You've eaten several on the way, and we're running fast and begging for a few."

"It's all Yangyang, I hate it to death, I walk slowly, I have to wait for him to ......"

Lin Xiuqing also came out of the gate of the courtyard and shouted at them: "Hurry up and go home to take a shower and change clothes, your whole body is covered with mud, and you are scared to death, and those who don't know think that you went to the quagmire and rolled around and came back." ”

"It's raining, the road is too slippery, it's all mud, and the road on the mountain is not easy to walk......" Ye Chenghu pouted and quibbled.

And Ye Chengyang grabbed Lin Xiuqing's pants flatteringly, tilted his head and said pitifully: "The light cake is not dirty, mother." ”

Ye Yaodong took a closer look, his whole person was about to become a mud figure, there was mud from his chest down, and there were also a few muds on his face, it was difficult for him to protect the light cake well, and it was not dirty.

Lin Xiuqing looked at his black paws, and there were several paw prints on her trouser legs, and said helplessly: "Look at your hands!" ”

Ye Chengyang looked down, was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, and then immediately reached out to take a picture of the paw prints on his mother's pants, but the paw prints became more and more......

Lin Xiuqing moved to the side speechlessly, "Okay, okay, I didn't scold you, I went home and took a shower." ”

"You've all made a fortune today, huh? When you get rich, you can eat for a week, and you don't need to make a fire at home. ”

"Huh? No, no, I'm choking... I can't eat ...... anymore," Ye Chenghu was the first to protest.

There are too many good things that can be eaten in his family, and his father is willing to keep any delicious food, so he really asks him to gnaw on the seven days of light cakes, where can he stand it?

Ye Chenghai also said with a sad face: "My neck is elongated, and I came back and poured several sips of tea before I felt swallowed in my stomach." ”

"Who told you not to come back for lunch at noon? It's also embarrassing to say that I'm dirty and dead, and I'm still talking here, and I don't know how to take a shower first, and wash my clothes by myself at night. Sister-in-law Ye glared at them.

Second sister-in-law Ye also called out to the three of herself, "You are dirtier than the pigs in the pigsty, why don't you hurry up and go into the house to take a bath?" Still standing at the door, waiting for what? Waiting to eat the whip? ”

This group of children was scolded for a while, and then they put away their excitement and hurried back to their respective homes.
