Chapter 695

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

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

"Because when he fell, he kept his head high and 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, fortunately you didn't get lost." Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked his forehead. "Go take a bath with your mom."

He gathered the light cakes of the two sons and counted them. There were quite a few, 25 in total for the two of them. Running around the mountains and fields all day, it was hard for the two little ones. They were really hardworking. He would reward them well when he had time.

The old lady was rummaging through the bamboo basket at the door. After finally finding two that looked a bit cleaner, she dragged them to the back door.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll take them to the back door to brush and wash, and when they are dry, I'll use them to hold light cakes."

Ye Yaodong took the two baskets from her hand. "I'll wash them, you continue to fold yours."

The old lady watched with a smile and didn't argue.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, their whole family got up, preparing to finish breakfast early and set off when the time came.

The old lady also dragged two large sacks out of her room.

"What is this?"

"Gold ingots, I bought a lot of bundles yesterday and folded them for a long time. Bring them to the mountain later and burn more for your grandfather. He suffered for half his life and didn't enjoy any blessings. Burn more money for him so he can enjoy blessings underneath."

"Alright... my father also bought a pile."

"You take them out first, there are more in the house."

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

"Is there anything else? Is there anything else to bring? If not, let's go."

"Nothing, nothing, we can go."

Everyone else was waiting in the courtyard, carrying hoes, brooms, and sickles.

Ye Fu had already tied both ends with a shoulder pole. One end was a bamboo basket full of light cakes, the other end was the two sacks of gold ingots the old lady had just dragged out of the house, and a basket of sacrifices.

Seeing that everyone had come out of the house, he said: "It's all done, can we go now? Got up early in the morning, dawdling until now, others are waiting at the roadside."

Saying that, he picked up the shoulder pole and walked in the front.

The mighty family all set off for the entrance of the village, and Ye Dabo and Ye Erbo's families had already been waiting at the entrance of the village early. Their two families didn't have as many people as Ye Fu's family.

The children and grandchildren were quite big, those who should work went to work, and those who should be in jail were still in jail.

When they set off, a large string of children followed behind them, and as they went up the mountain, more and more children joined on the way. After arriving at the mountain, the team became more and more magnificent, and more people came from all directions.

They met many people going up the mountain to sweep graves on the way, but why did people seem to like following behind them? What is the reason for this?

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

Only then did he run to the back and shout gloomily: "You guys walk, why are you all following us? You can go to other people's houses next to you. Hurry up, don't follow us."

He worked hard all day, only to save so many cakes, but had to distribute them, which made him angry to death! If he had known, he wouldn't have gone yesterday. Despicable! Ran for a day in vain!

"Hehe, heard your family is very rich? Of course we follow you."

"Where is there money? Our family has no money, poor to death. My mom says every day she wants to sell me and my brother for money."

"My family too."

"My family is different, my mom only says she wants to beat me to death..."

As they talked, Ye Chenghu also mixed into the group of children and talked eloquently.

Ye Laotaiye's coffin grave wasn't far away, on a hillside, and it took ten minutes to climb from the foot of the mountain.

When they arrived, a family not far away had just finished sweeping graves, but when a group of children behind them found them and rushed over, people said they had already finished sweeping graves and distributed grave cakes.

But they didn't set off firecrackers at all. If they had set off firecrackers, the children would have discovered there was a household here long ago and would have run over to ask for grave cakes.

But saying they were finished, the children had no choice, and everyone encountered it several times yesterday. If they encountered this, they could only run in vain.

In these two years, there are a lot of people asking for grave cakes, because every family has many children. Every time they sacrifice at graves, everywhere in the hills, the mountains and fields are full of children. Ordinary people always have to prepare one or two baskets of light cakes.

At this time, children have no snacks to eat, and grave owners also have many who are too poor to open the pot, but poor is poor, sacrificing at graves cannot be avoided.

So those who really can't afford to buy many light cakes can only secretly sacrifice at graves, for example, pressing paper money, cleaning up things, and then setting off firecrackers. By the time everyone hears the sound and comes, they have already slipped away.

Even if they are caught up, the grave owner will say that the grave cakes have been distributed, and they have been distributed, so you can't help it.

Some people, for the sake of insurance, simply don't set off firecrackers, and they finish the grave silently.

Stealing a grave doesn't have a good reputation, but it's also helpless.

They actually encountered it early this morning, but they didn't know them. It seems to be from the neighboring village. Looking at the surroundings of the clean grave not far away, these people should have come as soon as the sky was bright.

"Ran in vain again!"

"Clearly didn't set off firecrackers..."

"Didn't see red firecrackers on the ground..."

The Ye family's children also excitedly followed and ran, long forgetting that what they asked for was confiscated.

"Hurry up and weed, stop talking nonsense."

"There are more people in our family than grass, what are you asking them to do? Let them play casually. When it's time to set off firecrackers, call them back."

With his wife speaking, Ye Yaodong stopped caring about them, bent down to weed, and the children also looked around excitedly to see if there were any sweeping graves nearby?

It hadn't been on the mountain for a year, and the grass around the grave was taller than the grave, dense and large, messy, but fortunately they had many people and brought many tools.

Working together, it took only ten or twenty minutes for the grass within a ten-meter diameter of the coffin grave to be removed. After cleaning, yellow paper was also pressed around the grave with stones, and sacrifices could be placed and paper money burned.

Ye Fu, Ye Dabo, and Ye Erbo took turns to go up to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua, and other cousins also went up to light incense according to their age. Ye Yaodong stood in the corner, hands in his pockets, waiting for them to finish worshiping before he went up.

With so many people worshiping together, asking his grandfather for blessings, who should his grandfather listen to? Of course, he had to be the last one to be the finale, so his grandfather could remember.

He held a stick of incense in his hand, knelt in front of the grave, and muttered sincerely: "Qingming Festival, worship grandfather, grandfather bless me to be smooth in everything, safe in and out, loose pants, hundreds of boat workers helping to work, small boats change to big boats, big boats change to cruise ships, cruise ships change to yachts, yachts change to airplanes, count money until hands cramp every day, ten foreign houses by the sea, ten buildings in Guangdong, ten companies in Shanghai, ten courtyards in Beijing, get rich this year, get rich every year, get rich all the way, get rich, get rich, get rich..."

The uncles, brothers, and cousins around were dumbfounded by his muttering wishes. Can you still wish like this?

Lin Xiuqing's face was red. Can't he wish in his heart?

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

A Guang's mouth twitched. "You really know how to wish."

"Wish a few more, so grandfather can choose."

"Your grandfather is going to be scared away, not daring to eat your sacrifices."

Ye Fu glared at Ye Mu. "What nonsense."

Others also smiled and hurriedly called the group of children to come and worship, and handed each of them a stick of incense.

"You hurry up and worship, ask the ancestors to bless you to be safe and get into university."

"I just want to ask the ancestors to bless me not to write homework, not to be beaten, and to get a hundred every day." Ye Chenghai said honestly.

Ye Dasao said unceremoniously: "Thinking about farting?"

"Third Uncle has so many wishes to make!"

"Why compare with me? Hurry up and worship seriously, make whatever wish you want. What if it comes true? If the ancestors didn't hear it, it's fine if the passing gods heard it. If the passing gods didn't hear it, aren't there mountain gods, land public, and land mother around?"

Everyone listened with black lines all over their heads.

Too good at planning.

Hearing him say this, the children also hurriedly made wishes actively.

"Ancestors bless me to pick up a lot of money..."

"Bless me to win at marbles..."

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

"Bless me to succeed and defeat XXX..."

The children muttered, making all kinds of wishes, which made people laugh and cry...

While they were worshiping, A Guang also took firecrackers to the corner to set them off.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the children asking for grave cakes around were immediately spirited, and those who ran out to wander in all directions ran back, surrounding the grave.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua carried a basket of grave cakes and stood at the intersection, preparing to distribute one to each person, just to let people go down the mountain along the intersection, so as to avoid people fishing in troubled waters and asking twice.

This basket of grave cakes didn't look enough to distribute.

A pile of children also swarmed up, all squeezing to the front, afraid of being in the back, and if they were finished, they would be gone. If they didn't distribute, it wasn't that there were no stingy families who deliberately prepared less.

This kind of thing would be scolded behind their backs.

The Ye brothers didn't want to be scolded because of this.

They distributed them one by one, and others stood on the side with nothing to do. The children who received grave cakes didn't dare to fish in troubled waters, and all ran down the mountain quickly and honestly, preparing to hurry to the next family.

Little did they know that these children who squeezed to the front would regret it miserably later.

Seeing that the light cakes in the bamboo basket were bottoming out and only a few were left, Ye Yaodong took out a canvas bag and carried it on his back, waiting for the light cakes to be distributed, then took over.

Being praised is better than being scolded.

More than 30 children in the back were disappointed when they heard that the light cakes were distributed, and were dejected, preparing to admit their bad luck and hurry to the next family.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yaodong grabbed the back collar of a boy who was in the front and ready to run. "What are you running for?"

"There are no grave cakes, let go, I want to..."

"No grave cakes, there is money!"

He grabbed a handful of five-cent coins from the canvas bag, then put one in front of the little boy. "Not enough grave cakes to distribute, distribute money. Say a lucky word to listen to?"

"Wow! Distribute money?" The boy was stunned for a moment, instantly excited, eyes wide, a bit unbelievable, not daring to take it.

"Really? No grave cakes, distribute money?"

"No grave cakes, distribute money?"

"Really distribute money? How much money to distribute?"

"Five cents! It's five cents!"

"Really? If there are not enough grave cakes, distribute money?"

"Really distribute money?"

The group of children behind asked excitedly and chattering.

The children who had just received grave cakes and hadn't gone far heard the movement here and thought what happened, so they hurriedly stopped and listened carefully, instantly in an uproar.

"Ah? No cakes, distribute money?"

"No way? Really?"

"Really distribute money?"

Those who heard it ran back one after another, but they had received grave cakes and couldn't receive money.

Those children who heard it felt bad instantly, their intestines were green with regret, and they wished they could throw the cakes in their hands away.

Not enough grave cakes to distribute, distribute money!

This has never happened before. Who could have thought that someone would distribute money?

Give money directly...

No one has ever given money directly.

The little boy who was grabbed by the back collar by Ye Yaodong was so happy that he was almost incoherent, and good words were like they didn't cost money, all coming out.

"Boss, congratulations on getting rich, Brother Ahai's Third Uncle, congratulations on getting rich, get rich, smooth, lucky, give birth to many sons, all are sons..."

Ye Yaodong was originally quite happy to hear it, but he didn't want to hear the last two sentences. "Stop, stop, stop, enough, no need to give birth to sons later, I have enough."

"Thank you, Brother Ahai's Third Uncle..."

The boy took the money, instantly excited and jumped three feet high, and then couldn't bear to leave, continuing to stand on the side and watch.

Others saw that someone really received money, and were excited to death. Good words didn't cost money, all coming out.

Regardless of whether it was their turn or not, the mouths of those standing at the back didn't stop, always saying lucky words, especially hard!

The atmosphere of the whole mountain suddenly seemed especially lively...

All around were the children's excited blessings, which surprised the adults. Can it be like this?

Ye Fu was already a bit familiar with his flashy operation and laughed: "Your grandfather and ancestors must be very happy to hear it underneath, and they will definitely bless you."
