Five hundred and eighty-eighth chapter money
"Everyone is in line, come one by one, no hurry."
Ye Rongyao said to the children who were flocking to the crowd. Of course, there were also a few adults and four or five-year-old children inside. Ye Rongyao probably was the people who were visiting the graves nearby and rushed over when he heard the sound of his own firecrackers.
When you pay for the Qingming Festival tomb sweeping money, you must prepare a lot of change. After all, when you give money to these people who come to support you, you can’t expect others to find change for you.
Yesterday when Ye Rongyao went to the town, he went to the bank and exchanged for a lot of 20 yuan denomination banknotes, just to use it now.
"One person has twenty years, and the person who gets the money will leave and cannot queue up repeatedly."
Ye Rongyao took out a stack of twenty yuan denominations and divided them one by one for everyone, and kept saying to the people in line.
After all, some people would continue to queue up after getting some more money to get some money, but as long as the grave visitor finds that he has received the money once, they will not send him any more money.
"Wow, that's great, twenty dollars."
"Twenty dollars, I'm lucky."
The people who received the money and those who were still waiting in line to receive the money, saw Ye Rongyao paying 20 yuan each, and couldn't help but talk excitedly.
After all, most of the people who visit graves today give out five dollars, occasionally ten dollars, and a very small number of people who give out twenty dollars like Ye Rongyao.
As for the grave sweeping, a rich man who pays 50 or 100 yuan, there are too few. If one meets one of them in Qingming Energy Saving, he will be very lucky.
"Thank you, Uncle Rong."
"Thank you, Brother Glory."
...
Many of the children queuing in the line were from Taoyuan Village. After getting the money from Ye Rongyao, they all said politely to Ye Rongyao.
Now, Ye Rongyao is a hero in the minds of these children.
Subduing the big wild boar king and taming the big eagle are all amazing things in the hearts of the children. They are simply legends. Sometimes in the village, what Ye Rongyao said is much more effective than what these naughty children’s parents said.
After paying the money, Ye Rongyao picked up the things and walked towards the middle of the mountain. After worshiping grandpa and grandma's graves, Ye Rongyao was going to worship his parents' graves.
At this time, there have been more people coming to visit the tombs on the mountain, and there are many pedestrians on the road. Ye Rongyao did not use the "Lingbo Micro-Strip", but slowly walked towards the middle of the mountain.
Along the way, I met many people who were visiting the graves, all in groups. Unlike Ye Rongyao, who seemed particularly lonely and deserted.
There is no way to do this. Ye Rongyao's aunt and sister have been married to other places. Ye Rongyao is from his grandfather's lineage at home. Liu Qingqing is pregnant again and cannot go up the mountain to sweep the graves, of course she can only sweep the graves alone.
However, if you are alone in the grave sweeping. The advantage of having a person in the grave sweeping is that you don’t have to wait for others and you can go up the mountain to sweep the graves for your deceased relatives and elders at any time.
"Rong Yao, have you just visited your grandpa and grandma's grave to visit the grave?" On the way, Ye Rong Yao met the fifth grandpa Ye Xianglai's family.
"Yes, I just finished scanning the tomb. Give me some money to my grandpa and grandma." Ye Rongyao nodded and said.
"Have you told your grandpa and grandma about Qingqing's pregnancy?"
The fifth grandfather Ye Xianglai asked. After all, for the old man, the most concerned thing is the continuation of bloodline. Only when the bloodline continues, will future generations continue to worship their ancestors.
If the bloodline is broken, the dead ancestors will become pitiful ghosts and will not worship the descendants. If the descendants do not burn paper money for them every year, their lives in the underworld will be very hard.
"I said it, I said it all." Ye Rongyao nodded and said.
"I miss your grandpa, grandma must be very happy. By the way, I will pay homage to your great grandpa and the others today. Are you going?" asked the fifth grandpa Ye Xiangkai.
Sweeping the graves of the great-grandfather. It is usually the elders who go there. In Ye Rongyao's lineage, only Ye Rongyao and his wife are left in the village, so the fifth grandfather Ye Xianglai asked this question.
"I won't go anymore. I'm going to visit my parents' graves." Ye Rongyao shook his head and said.
Ye Rongyao said. Every year, Ye Rongyao rarely goes to visit the graves of his great-grandfather and his friends, and this year, Ye Rongyao is not going to go.
After all, this great-grandfather's generation is far from Ye Rongyao. Even Ye Rongyao has never met his great-grandfather and others. He has no feelings for each other and does not need to go every year. He goes to worship every year and expresses the filial piety of his younger generations.
"That's OK."
Seeing that Ye Rongyao didn't go to Grandpa to visit his grandfather's grave today, the fifth grandfather Ye Xiangkai didn't say anything. After all, for young people, these generations are a bit far apart, and many young people don't even know where the grave of Grandpa and their people are.
Compared with other younger generations, Ye Rongyao is already good. At least, he will go with everyone to worship his great-grandfather and the others the next year.
After chatting with Grandpa Wu and the others for a few words, Ye Rongyao continued to walk towards the middle of the mountain. It didn't take long before Ye Rongyao arrived at his parents' grave.
As soon as he arrived in front of the grave, Ye Rongyao knelt down in front of the grave. His parents gave him life and were the relatives who were closest to him.
Ye Rongyao was very sad. When his parents were still alive, he did not obey them well. After his parents passed away, Ye Rongyao realized that the lost family affection was so important.
I was secretly sad, but it was too late.
Today is another Qingming Festival. I knelt in front of my parents’ grave, repent of my previous mistakes, and tell my parents what I think.
"Dad, mom, it's Qingming Festival again today. It's been more than two years since you left your son. In the past, you took your son to visit grandpa and grandma's grave. This year, I was alone in visiting grandpa and grandma's grave. I just added some soil to grandpa and grandma's graves and burned some paper money for them."
"I know, you will definitely ask your good daughter-in-law Qingqing why she didn't come? I didn't let her come. I will tell you good news. Qingqing is suspicious. Our Ye family has a backer. I believe you don't want her to go up the mountain to sweep the grave today."
"Qingqing misses you very much, and wants to go up the mountain to sweep your grave..."
"I know, you must miss your sister, but my sister's family is too far away. I can't visit you this year, but my sister called and said that no matter what, next year's Qingming Festival, she will come back to see you..."
Ye Rongyao knelt in front of his parents' grave and said to his parents for an entire hour. It seemed that there were endless things to say and endless things to say.
When his parents were alive, Ye Rongyao regretted that he did not talk and chat about family matters with his parents.
So much so now that I can only talk to my parents in front of the grave, but I can no longer hear my parents' voices. I can only rely on my memory to recall every bit of what my parents have told me.
After chatting with his parents for more than an hour, Ye Rongyao began to clean up weeds at his parents' grave.
Because during the Chinese New Year, I came to worship my parents and cleaned the cemetery. The newly grown weeds were not very prosperous. In less than half an hour, Ye Rongyao cleaned up the weeds next to his parents' cemetery.
Then there is burning incense candles and colorful money. A gentle spring breeze blows, and the burning paper scraps are flying all over the sky, and the air is filled with a faint smoke.
"Dad and mom, my son has earned a lot of money this year. He has also brought you a lot of money, as well as BMW cars, private jets, and yachts. You can travel carefreely."
"You have worked hard all your life and saved money. Now that our family has money, don't save money like this. You should spend what you should spend boldly. If you don't have enough money, just send your dreams to your son. The son will bring you money."
"You have to live a life of hardship. It's time to enjoy the happiness..."
"I have also sent you a mahjong table. When you are fine, you can make an appointment with a few friends to play mahjong together..."
...
Ye Rongyao burned paper money for his parents while telling him.
Perhaps he knew that Ye Rongyao had a lot of money. At the edge of Ye Rongyao's mother's grave, Ye Rongyao had not set off firecrackers, but many children were already waiting by the side.
Nowadays, children, although young, have mobile phones. Some of them bought for them by their parents, and some of them were bought for themselves. Now that everyone has better living conditions, adults are willing to give their children pocket money. In some wealthier families, children have hundreds of pocket money per month, which is enough to buy a smartphone.
During the Qingming Festival, children are asking for money all over the mountains and fields. If they find someone who visits the graves, they may be about to end the graves and they will call their friends immediately, so that everyone can ask for more money.
You should know that parents will not confiscate the money they have been asked for during the Qingming Festival, but it is the children's own pocket money.
After extinguishing all the open flames such as incense and candles, Ye Rongyao set off firecrackers, and after setting off firecrackers, he gave money to every child next to him, and of course some adults.
Fortunately, Ye Rongyao prepared a lot of banknotes worth 20 yuan, so he was not worried that he would not be able to share enough.
There were quite a few people coming this time. People of 40 or 50 were sent out in a blink of an eye, but for Ye Rongyao now, there was no pressure.
Today I am willing to pay 20 yuan in denomination to bring honor to my grandfather and parents. After all, those who get the money will say a few good words to make the elderly underground happy.
Why do you have to pay for children during the Qingming Festival tomb sweeping? Ye Rongyao asked his grandfather when he was a child.
Grandpa told himself that the children’s food and money for tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival is auspicious. In the eyes of rural people, it is auspicious for the elderly to give children food and money.
These foods and money are prepared for ancestors. Everyone gave things to children for the deceased ancestors, indicating the gifts of their ancestors.
There was another reason that day, Ye Rongyao's grandfather did not say it. Because of the Qingming Festival tomb sweeping, many lonely ghosts would surround the grave and want to steal the items that people worship their ancestors.
Things like ghosts are most afraid of yang energy. Where there are many people, the yang energy will be strong, because there are things that can attract many people. With more people and strong yang energy, the lonely ghosts in the mountains and forests will not dare to get close and will not compete with their ancestors for the items they worship.
After all the people who came to ask for money, Ye Rongyao cleaned up and walked down the mountain.
The third time is later, and it is expected to be around nine o'clock.
