Chapter 587

"It's the Yin Qi on the mountain. Today is Tomb Sweeping Day. There are a lot of people offering sacrifices to their ancestors. The ghosts and ghosts on the mountain will come out one after another and grab some offerings. The Yin Qi on the whole mountain is very heavy, and it's easy to frighten the children in their belly." Ye Rongrong said.

"If I don't go, will my parents blame me?" Liu Qingqing said uneasily.

"How can it be? You are pregnant, and they are too late to be happy. How can they blame you? I don't think they want you to see them now." Ye Rongrong said.

"Well, I'll stay at home."

Liu Qingqing thought about it and said. Now in Liu Qingqing's heart, the child in her stomach is the first. As soon as her man says that if she goes up the mountain today, she will frighten the child, so Liu Qingqing gives up her plan to go up the mountain to visit her parents-in-law's grave.

……

With a hoe on his shoulder, a sickle on his waist and a basket in his two hands, he took Xiaobai up the mountain.

"Glory, go to the grave so early."

Ye Xiangde looked at Ye Rongrong with some surprise and said. Ye Guangrong is a famous lazy man in the village. Although he has the ability now, he is still a lazy man. He can't see his figure until ten o'clock in the morning.

I didn't expect that I would go up the mountain and sweep the grave before eight o'clock this morning.

"Isn't this Qingming? It's not too late to go to the grave and sweep the grave for the elders. " Ye Rongrong said.

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

"Granddad Xiang De, you check, so I can go up the mountain." Ye Rongrong said to Ye Xiangde.

A lot of people go up to the mountain and sweep tombs on Tomb Sweeping Day every year. A few years ago, many forest fires were caused because the grave sweepers didn't pay attention to the control of fireworks.

In recent years, every tomb sweeping day, every road leading to the cemetery forest is guarded by a special old man, mainly to check whether there is something that can cause fire.

It's paper money, candles, firecrackers and so on.

According to the truth, these things are not allowed to be taken. Nowadays, it is popular to send flowers when sweeping tombs in the mountains. They are bought everywhere during the Qingming Festival. They are 15 yuan, 20 yuan and one blue flower.

When going to the grave, you are allowed to bring flowers that will not cause a fire. Paper money, candles, firecrackers and other things that can cause an open fire are not allowed.

However, although the regulations are like this, there are also special people guarding the intersection for inspection. In fact, the old people guarding the intersection will still let go of things like paper money, candles and firecrackers.

After all, these are for the dead ancestors. If you really stop people from burning the paper money for the ancestors, they will come to you if they have no money to spend underground.

The consequences are very serious, especially the old people who are guarding the intersection. They are more superstitious than the young people. How can they really stop you.

Basically, it's you who give an account. After the sacrifice, you should check and put out all the open fires. Don't cause a fire. Otherwise, whoever burns the mountain will go to jail.

Ye Xiangde is the brother of Ye Xianghai, the old village head. Every year he guards the mountain crossing. After all, it costs 200 yuan a day to guard the mountain crossing. But it's very easy to hold it. There are still many old people who want to do it. However, who should do it is what ye Xianghai, the old village head, says.

Ye Xiangde, as the elder village head's brother, certainly won't pull him down.

"Don't check. Just pay attention and remember to put out the fire."

Ye Xiangde said. They are all from the same village. Ye Guangrong is also a famous figure in the village. Of course, ye Xiangde offers convenience.

"Thank you."

With that, ye Rongrong went up the mountain with his things.

Because Qingming is a family action, many young people have not got up at this time, and many families have not gone up the mountain at this time, so the whole mountain is still cold and there are few people.

Ye Guangrong couldn't see anyone, so he didn't care so much. He started to walk in the mountains quickly.

Now it's hard for Xiaobai, a big dog, to keep up with Ye Guangrong's speed. He's so tired that Xiaobai gasps, and his four legs keep chasing Ye Guangrong's walking direction.

If "Xiaobai" could speak, it would be rude now. Is it still human? Even the dog couldn't catch up with him.

Because of the "Lingbo micro step", ye Rongrong was very fast. In a few minutes, he arrived at his grandfather's and grandmother's grave.

Ye Guangrong's grandfather has only two children. One is Ye Guangrong's father, and the other is Ye Guangrong's aunt. Just like Ye Guangrong's elder sister, this aunt is married far away from other provinces. It's hard to come back once in a few years. During the tomb sweeping day these years, ye Guangrong's family basically went to the grave for his grandfather and grandmother.

"Grandpa and grandma, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again. Your grandson has come to sweep your grave. I'll tell you a good news. Your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant this year, and there are people in the Ye family. So I didn't ask her to come to sweep the grave this year. I'm afraid she might encounter something unclean on the road. So please don't blame her. Next year, Qingqing and I will take the children I'm going to visit your grave... ""There's another thing Sun Tzu told you that makes you happy. I'm a professor now. I'm a professor in southern Zhejiang University. I'm the first one in our village. Ha ha, but I'm afraid to scare people in the village. There are also relatives in our family. I didn't tell them..."

Ye Rongrong kneels down in front of his grandfather and grandmother's grave and slowly tells them about his life.

After talking to his grandparents for more than ten minutes, ye Rongrong got up with a sickle and began to cut the weeds around the tomb. If some weeds grow on the tomb, they must be uprooted, so as not to grow again. The roots of the grass will grow deeper and deeper and damage the tomb.

Because the cutting was very careful, it took a whole hour to clean the weeds around the tomb. At an inconspicuous position on the edge of the tomb, ye Guangrong took out the broom that had been put here all the time and cleaned the tomb up and down.

After finishing these, ye Rongrong picked up a hoe and began to add some new soil to his grandparents' graves.

Ye Guangrong started to light incense 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 for the mountain god land who was in charge of the cemetery, praying that the mountain god land would protect the cemetery and protect the ancestors.

After distributing the paper money and "big burden" in front of their grandparents' graves, light them with lighters and burn them up.

Ye Rongrong took out a bunch of firecrackers from the basket and set them off.

Soon, crackling, crackling sounds could be heard all over the mountain.

Although it is not allowed to light candles and set off firecrackers when going to the grave on Tomb Sweeping Day, in the mountainous areas like rural areas, they are not so strict. Basically, after going to the grave, everyone will set off firecrackers.

The main purpose of setting up firecrackers at Tomb Sweeping Day 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 we burn will only be used 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 and rob our ancestors of things.

Another reason is that people always think it's not clean to go to these places, so setting off firecrackers after going to the grave is used to exorcise evil spirits.

After setting off the firecrackers, ye Rongrong put out the fire of the incense candle, which was to prevent the fire.

Not long after ye Guangrong set off the firecrackers, there were many children, and even some adult men and women came with children. This was to ask for something.

At this point in coco state, when going to the grave on the Qingming Festival, we need to send things to those who come to support us.

Ye Guangrong can't help remembering his childhood.

At that time, Tomb Sweeping Day was not a sad day for ye Guangrong's children. They were still young, and many of them didn't meet their dead ancestors and had no feelings.

Qingming Festival, they do not feel sad, but think it is a happy day, because this day, they can get a lot of food, and money.

Ye Guangrong remembers that when he was a child, on Tomb Sweeping Day, he always went up the mountain with his friends early. When he saw someone's family sweeping the tomb, he would wait there. When they finished sweeping the tomb, they would wait to share things.

At that time, most of the food was divided into biscuits, sweets and so on. Of course, there were individuals who paid directly. At that time, it was very difficult for anyone who paid three yuan or five yuan. Many people who heard the news came to ask for it, and even many adults.

Generally, as long as people have not left the tomb, you will give it to you. But once people leave the tomb, they will not give you anything, and you have nothing to say.

At that time, at the end of the day, all the snacks Ye Rongrong asked 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. Therefore, for children, Tomb Sweeping Day is a particularly happy day.

With the development of economy, people who sweep tombs will not send food again. After all, people's living conditions are better now. Even children don't want these food, let alone adults. If you send candy again, people will dislike it and think your family is stingy.

Nowadays, people pay cash for tomb sweeping, usually five or ten yuan. Of course, the more rich people are, the more fifty or 100 yuan a person can get.

Nowadays, children in rural areas go to the mountains early to ask for money during the Qingming Festival holiday. Moreover, children nowadays are very smart and don't wait foolishly. Instead, they find places where there are many people to go to the grave and wait. When firecrackers are set off, they run quickly to get the money, and then quickly go to the next place.

If you're lucky, a child can earn thousands of yuan a day, and a little less, one or two hundred yuan.

After all, people's living conditions are good now. One or two yuan is not enough. Generally, they need at least five yuan to start.
