Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also led their two clay figurines back, and by the way, they also untied the string of light cakes hanging around their necks.

"How did you do it, the whole person is dirty, but the cake is not dirty?"

"For when he fell, he threw his head up and put his hands on the ground." Ye Chenghu answered for him.

Ye Chengyang smiled shyly, "If it's dirty, you can't eat it." ”

"Silly boy, it's quite heartwarming, but fortunately I didn't get lost." Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked his forehead, "Come and take a bath with your mother." ”

He gathered the light cakes of his two sons and counted them, there were really a lot, and the two of them added up to 25, running all day long in the mountains, and it was difficult for the two to be small, it was really hard, and I would take the time to treat them well.

The old lady rummaged through the bamboo baskets at the door, and finally found two that looked a little cleaner, so she dragged them to the back door.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll take the back door and brush it, wash it, and when it's dry, I'll fill it with the cake."

Ye Yaodong took the two baskets in her hand, "I'll go wash it, you continue to fold yours." ”

The old lady smiled and looked at it, and she didn't argue.

The next morning, just after dawn, the whole family got up, ready to finish breakfast early, and set off at the end of the day.

The old lady also dragged two bags of hemp out of her house.

"What are you?"

"Tianjin ingots, I bought a lot of bundles yesterday, folded them for a long time, and will take them to the mountain to burn a little more for your grandfather, I have suffered for half a lifetime, and I haven't enjoyed the blessings, burn more money to give him, and let him enjoy the happiness below."

"Okay...... My dad also bought a bunch of them. ”

"You take it out first, there's still it in the house."

The old lady went in and out, and there were several more wads of yellow paper in her hand.

"Anything else? Is there anything else to bring? Leave without it. ”

"No, no, you can go."

Everyone else was waiting in the yard, and he with a hoe took a hoe, and he with a broom took a broom, and he with a sickle took a sickle.

Father Ye had already tied the two ends with a flat pole, one end was a bamboo basket filled with light cakes, and the other end was two sacks of Tianjin ingots that the old lady had just dragged out of the house, as well as a basket of sacrifices.

Seeing that everyone had come out of the house, he said, "It's all right, can you go?" I woke up early in the morning, and until now, everyone else is waiting on the side of the road. ”

So saying, he picked up the flat burden and took the lead.

The mighty family all set off to the entrance of the village, and Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye and the two families were already waiting at the entrance of the village early, and their two families were not as many as Ye's father's family.

The children and grandchildren are quite old, those who should work have gone to work, and those who should go to prison are still in prison.

When they set out, they were followed by a large number of children, and as they went up the mountain, more and more children were added along the way, and when they reached the mountain, the team grew stronger and stronger, and more people came from all directions.

Along the way, I also met a lot of people who went to the mountains to sweep the tombs, but people seem to like to follow them? What is the rationale for this?

Ye Chenghu walked all the way, twisting his neck all the way to look back, wanting to see how long the line was, until he saw the team on a small road next to him, and all the people who followed behind him also ran towards them.

He ran to the back depressed and shouted, "You guys go, why are you all following us?" You can also go to other people's houses next to you, you can go quickly, don't follow us. ”

He had worked hard all day to save up so many cakes, but he was going to send them out, and he was so angry that he knew that he wouldn't go yesterday, damn it! Run for nothing!

"Hehe, I heard that your family is rich? Of course I'm following you. ”

"How can there be money, our family has no money, we are poor and dead, my mother says every day that she will sell me and my brother for money."

"So is my family."

"My family is different, my mother only said that she would beat me to death......"

As he spoke, Ye Chenghu also blended into the group of children and talked eloquently.

Old Lady Ye's coffin tomb is not far away, it is on a hillside, and it takes more than ten minutes to climb from the foot of the mountain.

When they arrived, there was a family not far away that had just finished sweeping the tomb, but when a group of children behind them found it and rushed over, they said that they had finished sweeping the tomb and divided the tomb cakes.

But there were no firecrackers at all, and if they did, the children would have found out that there was a family here, and they would have run over to beg for the grave cake.

But after saying that, the children are helpless, and everyone met several times yesterday, and when they encounter this, they can only run in vain.

In the past two years, there have been many people and thieves begging for tomb cakes, because there are many children in every household, and every time they sacrifice to the tomb, there are children everywhere on the hills, and there are children all over the mountains, and ordinary people always have to prepare one or two baskets of light cakes.

At this time, the children have no snacks to eat, and many of the tomb owners are too poor to open the pot, but the poor are poor, and the tomb sacrifice is always inevitable.

Therefore, those who really can't afford to buy a lot of light cakes can only secretly go to the grave, such as pressing the paper money, packing up the things, and then setting off firecrackers.

Even if you are caught up, the owner of the tomb will say that the tomb cake has been divided, and after it is divided, you can't help it.

Some people, for the sake of insurance, simply do not set off firecrackers and put their graves on the ground silently.

Stealing the grave does not have a good reputation, but it is also helpless.

I even met them early this morning, but I didn't know them, it seemed to be from the next village, looking at the clean grave not far away, these people should have come at dawn.

"Another trip for nothing!"

"There is no ...... of firecrackers"

"There were no red firecrackers on the ground......"

The children of the Ye family were all excited just now, and they all ran together, and they had long forgotten that everything they had begged for was confiscated.

"Hurry up and get to work weeding, don't talk nonsense."

"There are more people in our family than grass, what are they going to do? Let them play as they please, and when the firecrackers are going to be set off, just call them back. ”

With his wife talking, Ye Yaodong didn't care about them, bent down to weed, and the children looked around excitedly to see if there were any graves nearby?

I haven't been up the mountain for a year, and the grass around the grave is taller than the grave, densely packed and disorganized, but there are many of them and they bring more tools.

The division of labor and cooperation, only ten or twenty minutes, the coffin tomb ten meters diameter of the grass was removed by them, removed, the yellow paper was also pressed around the cemetery with stones, and at the same time, sacrifices could also be placed, paper money burned.

Father Ye and Uncle Ye took turns to come forward to worship and ask for blessings.

Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua and other cousins also took turns to light incense, Ye Yaodong stood in the corner, his hands in his pockets, and he didn't go up until they finished worshipping.

So many people gathered together to worship and beg his lord to bless him, who should his lord listen to? Of course, it has to be the last finale for his grandfather to remember.

He held a stick of incense in his hand, knelt in front of the tomb, and chanted sincerely: "Qingming Festival, worship Grandpa, Grandpa bless me with a smooth wind in everything, in and out of the safe trouser pine, hundreds of boatmen help work, small boats for big ships, big ships for ships, ships for yachts, yachts for airplanes, every day the money is counted to hand cramps, ten houses are on the seaside, ten buildings are in Guangdong, ten companies are in Shanghai, ten courtyards are in bJ, this year, every year, all the way, all the way, ......"

The surrounding uncles and cousins were dumbfounded when they heard his muttering wishes, how else could they make such a promise?

Lin Xiuqing's face was red, couldn't he make a promise in his heart?

He wasn't embarrassed, she was embarrassed......

The corners of Ah Guang's mouth twitched, "You really know how to make a wish." ”

"A few more, my grandfather has a choice."

"Your lord is going to be scared away, and he doesn't dare to eat your sacrifice."

Father Ye glared at Mother Ye, "What nonsense." ”

The others also laughed and hurriedly called the group of children to come and say goodbye, and handed each of them a stick of incense.

"Come and worship, and ask your ancestors to bless you from the university."

"I just want to ask my ancestors for the blessing of not doing my homework, not being beaten, and being able to take a hundred exams every day." Ye Chenghai said honestly.

Sister-in-law Ye said unceremoniously: "Do you want to eat fart?" ”

"The third uncle can make so many wishes!"

"What do you compare to me? Hurry up and say goodbye seriously, make whatever wish you want, what if it comes true? The ancestors didn't hear it, and the passing gods heard it, but the passing gods didn't hear it, isn't there still the mountain god land and the land wife around? ”

Everyone listened with black lines in their heads.

Too good at planning.

When the children heard him say this, they also hurriedly made a wish.

"Ancestors bless me with a lot of money......"

"Bless me to win by playing marbles......"

"Bless me to Shaolin Temple......"

"Bless me for my breath and defeat xxx ......"

The children cooed and cooed, and all the wishes were there, and the people who listened to them laughed and laughed......

When they were praying, Ah Guang also took firecrackers and went to the corner to put them.

As soon as the firecrackers went off, the children begging for the grave cakes around them immediately became energetic, and those who ran out in all directions also ran back and gathered around the cemetery.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua stood at the intersection carrying a basket of tomb cakes, ready to divide one for each person, just so that people could go down the mountain along the intersection, so that no one would fish in troubled waters and ask for it twice.

This basket full of grave cakes is not enough to divide at first glance.

A bunch of children also rushed up, all of them crowded to the front, for fear that they would be in the back, and if they were not divided, they would be gone, and it was not that they were deliberately less prepared.

This kind of back has to be scolded.

The brothers of the Ye family didn't want to be scolded like this.

The two of them parted one by one, and the others were all idle and stood aside to watch, and the children who got the tomb cakes did not dare to fish in troubled waters, and they all ran down the mountain honestly and quickly, ready to find the next one quickly.

As everyone knows, these children who are crowded in front of them will regret it miserably not long after.

When Ye Yaodong saw that there were only a few light cakes left in the bamboo basket, he took out a canvas bag, carried it on his back, and took over as soon as the light cakes were finished.

It is better to be praised than to be scolded.

When the thirty or so children heard that the cake had been distributed, they were all very disappointed, and they were ready to think that they were unlucky and finish the next one.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yaodong grabbed a boy at the front and was about to run, "What are you running?" ”

"There's no more tomb cake, you let go, I'm going to ......"

"There's no tomb cake, and there's money!"

He grabbed a handful of five-cent coins from his canvas bag, and then took one and put it in front of the little boy's eyes, "The tomb cake is not enough, send money, come and listen to an auspicious word?" ”

"Wow! Send money? The boy was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened with excitement in an instant, a little incredulous, and he didn't dare to take it.

"Really? No grave cake to pay? ”

"No grave cake payout?"

"Is it really money? How much does it cost? ”

"Five cents! It's five cents! ”

"Really? If the tomb cake is not enough, you will pay for it? ”

"Really pay money?"

The group of children behind him asked excitedly.

The children, who had just received the tomb cake and had not gone far, heard the movement here, and thought that something was wrong, so they quickly stopped, listened carefully, and were in an uproar in an instant.

"Huh? Pay without bread? ”

"Isn't it? Really? ”

"Is it really payout?"

Those who heard it ran back again, but they had received the tomb cake and could not receive the money.

When the children heard this, they instantly felt bad, and their bowels were green with regret, and they wanted to throw away the bread in their hands.

If the tomb cake is not enough, the money will be paid!

This has never been done before, who would have thought that someone would send money?

Give money directly for free......

No one ever gives money directly, okay.

The little boy who was grabbed by Ye Yaodong's back collar was so happy that he was almost incoherent, and good words came out as if he didn't want money.

"Boss Wishing you prosperity, Ahai's third uncle Wishing you prosperity, made a fortune, went smoothly, blessed stars, gave birth to many sons, all of them are sons......"

Ye Yaodong was originally quite happy to hear it, but he didn't want to listen to the last two sentences, "Stop, stop, it's enough, you don't have to have a son later, I'm enough." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ahai......"

The boy took the money, immediately jumped three feet high excitedly, and then was reluctant to leave, and continued to stand and watch.

When the others saw that someone had really received the money, they were all excited, and those who didn't want money for good words came out.

Regardless of whether it was his turn or not, the mouth of the person standing at the end did not stop, and he kept saying auspicious words there, especially hard!

The whole mountain suddenly seemed very lively......

Surrounded by children's excited greetings, the adults who watched were amazed, so is it okay?

Father Ye was already a little familiar with his operation, and he smiled: "Your grandfather and ancestor must be very happy to hear it below, and he will definitely bless you." ”
