Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 696

  His grandfather had a difficult life at that time. He came to the seaside by begging for food alone, and then took root in their village. After that, he worked hard, built a house with the help of the villagers, and married a wife.

  In the final analysis, he is not actually a native of the country.

  His grandfather did not have the conditions to build a cemetery in advance. After his death, his father and the others temporarily built a coffin-shaped tomb with stones, as long as the coffin can be placed in it.

   Speaking of this, Father Ye sighed.

"Years ago, money was loose, so I told your uncle and second uncle that I wanted to repair your grandpa's tomb. The family is full of labor, so just hire a master. The materials don't cost much. We all come together, and the three of us are equal." It doesn't cost much to spread.”

"In the end, they pushed back and forth, saying that they had no money, and they would say nothing later. They didn't say that they didn't expose it to the wind and sun, and it was better than some people. Many people's tombs are like this. After waiting for a few years, they It's almost buried, and everyone will pay for a bigger one with a few more places.”

  Ye Yaodong frowned, "He should have thought that he would lie down soon, and repair it for himself? Is it a pity to repair the tomb in advance?"

   "I just can't bear to spend money."

   "It always has to be paid, Grandpa, everyone has a share. It is always necessary to repair the tomb early and late, and it will be cheaper to repair the land earlier."

   When those uncles die, some of them will have to wait twenty or thirty years later, and they will not be allowed to build cemeteries in the future.

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

  In the houses of many elderly people in their countryside, coffins are prepared in advance on the beams and placed there in advance, just to avoid panic temporarily. The ancient emperors started to repair the mausoleum when they heard that they had just ascended the throne.

"Oh, it has to be built. Your grandma is over 80. Who knows how many years it will last? But both of your uncles are not in a hurry and are not willing to repair it now. I can't just pay for it myself. Three Brothers have to pay and build together.”

"It's so annoying. I told them about it a few days ago, and I just said that I don't have any money. Forget it, let's talk about it in two years. Your two cousins ​​went in, and your uncle looked so energetic. It's not that good, it's not good to quarrel with him."

   "Then we will pay for the repairs ourselves, and after the repairs, it will belong to our own room."

   "How can I do that? They were all born by the same father. How can this tomb builder leave them behind? Let's talk about it a year or two later."

  That's really depressing, their family can't build a special cemetery, and bury his grandpa and grandma in their cemetery, leaving aside his uncle, who is also their parents, and they also have a share.

   Now even Ye Yaodong is upset.

   "Then if they don't build it all the time, are we really waiting to build it after twenty or thirty years?"

   "Then we definitely can't wait so long. Let's talk about it two years later. See if any of your cousins ​​are promising. If one of your cousins ​​is willing to pay for it, the other won't."

  That's the only way to go.

   It's Ching Ming Festival, otherwise he wouldn't be able to think of repairing the tomb, and he would be unfilial to his descendants.

  Thinking about it, the old lady was in a bad mood all day yesterday. It is estimated that repairing the tomb is also the top priority of the old man.

   This year Qingming can only make do with sweeping the tomb first, and next year I will see if I can change his grandfather to a Fengshui treasure to flourish the whole family.

  There is no shortage of roof tiles in their house. There is a small pile in the corner, which is left over from building the house and kept as a spare. After all, there are typhoons every year, and the roof needs to be repaired every year.

  Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua repaired it together, but the speed will be faster, and the repair is about the same in more than an hour.

  He and his father were holding the stairs, letting them climb down slowly before finishing work and going home.

   Sister-in-law Ye and second-sister-in-law Ye also seemed to be okay, discussing with each other while walking, and each of them would catch a few piglets to raise together later.

  Ye Yaohua also smiled to relieve the unhappiness just now, "It's easier for two people to raise together and share the work together."

  Second Aunt Ye: "It's easy to say, if you raise too much, you will be tired. Just hunting pig grass and cooking pig food all day long is enough."

   "What kind of work is not tiring? What kind of money is easy to earn?" Ye Yaopeng also said.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ye suddenly said thieves: "I heard that some fishermen on the south coast don't fish now, and the larger fishing boats are used to pull foreign goods. Thieves make money, and they can earn hundreds of dollars a trip." Thousands of dollars, here comes the money..."

  Ye Yaopeng hurriedly said: "This can't be said..."

Ye Yaohua also quickly refused, "We can't do this illegal thing. There are quite a few people who were arrested every three days. I heard that many people were shot last year. We can't do it, we can't do it, we are ordinary people, and life is not difficult." gone."

"I heard that the one in our village, the one who bought our previous foundation, was dedicated to this work. I heard that there were a lot of things piled up in the house. I don't know if it's true or not. I used to see a lot of workers. Haven't seen it in months."

   "Why do you care about others? Just take care of yourself."

  Ye Yaodong listened silently at the side. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. After a long time, someone will always know. Guessing and guessing will only aggravate other people's curiosity. More and more people know it.

  However, it is estimated that they have many bases, not necessarily the one in the village, and they can change one after another. If they don't show up for a while, they can stabilize.

   At any rate, they can be regarded as nodding acquaintances, and he also hopes that they can make a lot of money in a safe and stable way, and have many friends and multiple paths.

Seeing that he was about to reach the center of the village, he changed the subject and said: "Father said that tomorrow morning is good from 7:00 am to 9:00 am. Let's get up early and go to the grave. It's too late to order light cakes. I'll bring more coins when the time comes. Light cakes aren't enough to send out." Just send the money."

   "Send money? Give money directly?"

   "Huh? Can you still give money directly? Isn't it all for the tomb cake?"

  They asked questions quickly, and at the same time their attention was diverted.

   "The children in the family probably brought back a bunch of cakes today..."

   "I don't know if it's enough. Anyway, just send money if it's not enough. It's less troublesome and more popular. Anyway, there's no place to order right now."

  Ye Yaohua thinks about it, and thinks that this seems to be okay, "Then you can bring some money as a backup, and we will pay for the cost at that time, and we don't need to ask Dad to pay for it."

  The three brothers of his father take turns to bear the cost of sweeping the tomb every year, and this year it is his father's turn to officiate, and the other two uncles only need to be accompanied to sweep the grave and weed.

   "Well, I thought so too."

  Sister-in-law Ye hesitated and said: "It seems that no one pays money by sweeping graves..."

The second sister-in-law Ye said happily: "What's the point? Don't you have to spend money to buy light cakes? It's better to discount it. If it were me, I would definitely rather take the money. This is a good idea, and it saves you from ordering too many cakes and not being able to send them out." Go out, eat and waste at home."

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

  Ye Yaopeng also let go at this time, and said: "Our family doesn't have many coins, but Dongzi has more coins. You should put them up first, and then we will share them equally."

   "Well, it's fine if you don't have an opinion."

   It was almost four o'clock at this time, and when they were walking on the main road in the village, they could see people coming back with hoes and brooms in twos and threes.

   After lunch, I went to sweep the tomb. It was about the same time at this point. People with clean graves would come back earlier.

  Some children playing on the road also had a bare cake in their hands, and some of them were still behind these men carrying hoes and brooms, and were chased away by adults, saying that they had returned from sweeping the tomb, so they scattered in all directions.

  Some children were covered in mud, so dirty that they could barely see their shoes, their trousers were discolored, and there were a lot of light cakes hanging around their necks. It was obvious that they had just returned from the mountains.

  When Ye Yaodong and the others returned home, they also saw their children bouncing around the door, with a bunch of light cakes hanging around their necks, making a lot of noise.

   "I counted, I have 16!"

   "Then I must have 16 too..."

   "You ate several on the way, and we ran fast, asking for several more."

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

  Lin Xiuqing also came out from the gate of the courtyard and shouted at them: "Go home quickly and take a shower and change clothes. Your whole body is covered in mud. It's frightening to death. Those who didn't know thought you had rolled around in the mud."

   "It's raining, the road is too slippery, full of mud, and the road on the mountain is not easy to walk..." Ye Chenghu pouted and argued.

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

  Ye Yaodong took a closer look, he was almost like a clay figurine, his chest was covered with mud, and his face was covered with mud, it was hard for him to protect the light cake well without getting dirty.

  Lin Xiuqing looked at his dark paws, and there were several paw prints on her trousers, and said helplessly, "Look at your hands!"

  Ye Chengyang looked down, and was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand. Then, he 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 took a step aside speechlessly, "Okay, okay, I didn't scold you, I'm going home to take a shower."

   "You all made a lot of money today? You're rich, you can eat for a week, and you don't need to light a fire at home."

   "Ah? No, no, I almost choked to death... I can't eat any more..." Ye Chenghu was the first to protest.

  There are too many good things to eat in his house, and his father is willing to keep all the delicious food. It really makes him eat seven-day light cakes, how can he bear it?

  Ye Chenghai also said with a sad face: "My neck stretched out from eating, and I took a few sips of tea when I came back, before I felt it in my stomach."

   "Who told you not to come back to eat at noon? I'm ashamed to say that you are so dirty, you are still talking here, and you don't know how to take a shower first, and wash your clothes at night." Aunt Ye gave them a look.

  The second sister-in-law Ye also called out to the three of her family, "You are dirtier than the pigs in the pigsty, why don't you hurry in and take a bath? You are still standing at the door, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting to eat the whip?"

   After being scolded for a while, the group of children put away their excitement and hurried back to their respective homes.
