"It's the yin qi on the mountain. Today is Qingming. There are many people offering sacrifices to ancestors. The lonely ghosts on the mountain will come out one after another to grab some offerings. The yin qi on the whole mountain is very heavy, and it is easy to scare the children in the stomach." Ye Glory said.

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

"How come, you are pregnant, they are too happy in the spirit of heaven, how can they blame you, I don't think they want you to see them now." Ye Rongrong said.

"Well, then I'll stay at home."

Liu Qingqing thought about it and said. Now in Liu Qingqing's heart, the child in his womb is the number one priority. When he heard his man say that going up the mountain today would scare the child, Liu Qingqing also gave up the plan to go up the mountain to visit the graves of her in-laws.

...

With a hoe on his shoulder, a sickle on his waist, and a basket in each hand, he took "Xiao Bai" up the mountain.

"Glory, went to the grave so early."

Ye Xiangde looked at Ye Rongyao somewhat unexpectedly and said. Ye Rongrong is a famous lazy person in the village. Although he has the ability now, he is still a lazy person. He is basically invisible until ten o'clock in the morning.

I didn't expect to go up the mountain to sweep the graves before eight o'clock so early today.

"Isn't this Qingming? It can't be too late to visit the graves of the elders." Ye Rongrong said.

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

"Grandpa Xiangde, please check, so I can go up the mountain." Ye Rongrong said to Ye Xiangde.

There are many people who go to the mountains to sweep the graves on the Qingming Festival every year. In previous years, many forest fires were caused because the people who went to the tombs to sweep the graves did not pay attention to controlling the fireworks.

In recent years, on the annual Qingming Festival, every road leading to the mountain forest with graves is guarded by a special old man, mainly to check whether there is anything that could cause a fire.

In fact, it is paper money, candles, firecrackers and other things.

Logically, these things are not allowed to be brought. Now it is popular to go to the mountain to sweep the tombs to send flowers, which is the time of Qingming Festival. Bought it everywhere. Fifteen dollars, twenty dollars a blue flower.

It is allowed to bring such flowers that will not cause fire, paper money, candles, firecrackers, etc. that can cause open flames.

Not allowed.

However, although the regulations are like this, there are also special people guarding the intersection to check. In fact, things like paper money, candles, firecrackers, those old people guarding the intersection. It will still be released.

After all, these are all for dead ancestors. If you really prevent people from burning these paper money for their ancestors, their ancestors have no money to spend underground. But it will come to the door.

The consequences are very serious, especially those who are guarding the intersection are some old people. There are more superstitions than young people, how could it really stop you.

Basically, you explain it, after the sacrifice. To check, put out all open flames. Don't start a fire, otherwise, whoever burns the mountain. who goes to jail.

And this Ye Xiangde is the elder brother of the old village chief, Ye Xianghai. He is the only one who guards the intersection every year. After all, the guard at the intersection costs two hundred yuan a day, but it is very easy to hold, and there are still many old people who want to do it. , but who should do it is a matter of a word from the old village chief, Ye Xianghai.

As Ye Xiangde's brother of the old village chief, this kind of good thing certainly won't pull him down.

"No need to check, just pay attention and remember to put out the fire."

Ye Xiangde said. They were all from the same village, and Ye Rongyao was a well-known figure in the village, so of course Ye Xiangde gave it convenience.

"Thank you then."

After Ye Rongyao finished speaking, he carried his things and went up the mountain.

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 deserted and there is no one.

Seeing that he couldn't see anyone, Ye Rongrong didn't care so much, he used "Lingbo Microsteps" and walked quickly in the forest.

This time, the big dog "Xiao Bai" was suffering. He couldn't keep up with Ye Rongyao's speed at all. He was so tired that "Xiao Bai" was panting, and his four legs kept chasing in the direction Ye Rongyao was walking.

If "Xiao Bai" could speak, he would probably be swearing by now. Is this a human? Not even the dogs could catch up with him.

Because of the "Lingbo Microstep", Ye Rongyao's speed was very fast, and within a few minutes, he arrived at the graves of his grandfather and grandmother.

Ye Rongrong's grandfather has only two children, one is Ye Rongrong's father, and the other is Ye Rongrong's aunt, but this aunt, like Ye Rongrong's eldest sister, married far away from other provinces, and it is rare to come back once in a few years. Tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival was basically performed by Ye Rongyao's family to visit the graves of grandfather and grandmother.

"Grandpa, grandma, it's another Ching Ming Festival. Your grandson is here to visit your grave. I want to tell you the good news. This year, your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, and there are people in our Ye family, so I didn't let her come to visit the grave this year. I'm afraid of encountering unclean things on the road, so please grandpa and grandma, don't blame her, next year, Qingqing and I will take the children to visit your grave... "

"And my grandson tells you one thing that also makes you happy, that is, your grandson, I am now a professor, a professor at South Zhejiang University, and a senior intellectual. I am the first in our village. Hehe, but I was afraid of scaring the people in the village and our relatives, so I didn't tell them..."

Ye Rongrong knelt down at the graves of his grandfather and grandmother, and told them slowly to himself.

After talking to grandfather and grandma for about ten minutes, Ye Rongrong got up and took the sickle and started to cut the weeds growing around the grave. If some weeds grow on the grave, they must be pulled up by the roots to prevent the weeds from growing again. The roots of the grass grow deeper and deeper, destroying the tomb.

Because the mow was very careful, it took a full hour to mow the weeds around the tomb. In an inconspicuous position on the edge of the tomb, Ye Rongyao took out the broom that had been there all the time, and put it on the tomb. Cleaned up and down.

After finishing this, Ye Rongrong picked up the hoe and began to add some new soil to the graves of his grandfather and grandmother.

Ye Rongyao started to light incense candles, lighting incense candles in front of the tomb, and also lighting incense candles on both sides of the tomb. The incense candles on both sides were for the land of the mountain god who guarded the cemetery. He prayed that the land of the mountain god would protect the cemetery and bless the dead.

After roughly evenly distributing the paper money and "big burden" brought over in front of the graves of their grandfather and grandmother, they ignited it with a lighter, and after all these things were burnt out.

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

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

Although it is not allowed to light incense candles and set off firecrackers when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, in rural areas such as mountains, it is not so strict. Basically, everyone will set off firecrackers after visiting the graves.

The main purpose of firecrackers at the grave site during the Qingming Festival is to drive away ghosts and bad things.

After all, everyone goes to the grave to worship their ancestors, just hoping that the paper money and other things they burn will only be enjoyed by their ancestors, not other ghosts, so the purpose of setting off firecrackers after we go to the grave is to drive away other ghosts to follow our own. Ancestors rob things.

Another reason is that people always feel that going to these places is unclean, so firecrackers are set off after visiting the grave to exorcise evil spirits.

After setting off the firecrackers, Ye Rongyao put out the fire of the incense candles, which was to prevent the fire.

Not long after Ye Rongyao set off the firecrackers, there were many children, and even a few adult men and women brought their children here, asking for something.

At this point in Wenzhou, when you go to the graves at Qingming, you have to send things to those who come to cheer.

Ye Yaoyao's memory couldn't help but go back to his childhood.

At that time, the Qingming Festival was not a sad day for Ye Rongyao and these children. The children were still young, and many of them had never met or had any feelings with their deceased ancestors.

During the Qingming Festival, they didn't feel sad, but felt that it was a happy day, because on this day, they could get a lot of food and money.

Ye Rongyao remembered that when he was young, on Qingming Festival, he went up the mountain with his friends early, and when he saw someone sweeping the tomb, he waited there.

At that time, it was basically divided into food, such as biscuits and candies. Of course, there were also people who sent money directly. At that time, whoever sent three yuan or five fast was unbelievable, and it would attract a lot of people. People who heard the news came to ask for it, and there were even many adults.

In general, as long as people have not left the tomb, if you rush over, they will be given to you, but once you 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 put in a plastic bag, and there was still a lot of change, which could catch up with the New Year's money, so for children, the Qingming Festival was a special worthwhile event. happy day.

With the development of the economy, nowadays people basically don't give out food when they sweep graves. After all, people's living conditions are better now. These food are not rare for children, let alone adults. If you give out food like candy again, others will despise you and think your family is stingy.

Nowadays, when people sweep tombs during the Qingming Festival, they find gold, usually five or ten yuan. Of course, if you are more wealthy, one person can pay fifty or one hundred yuan.

Nowadays, children in rural areas go to the mountains early to ask for money during the Qingming Festival holiday, and now children are very smart, and they will not wait stupidly, but wait in places where there are many people going to the grave, where to set off firecrackers If it is, just run over quickly, basically can catch up with sending money, and then quickly run to the next place.

If you are lucky, a child can earn thousands of dollars in one day, or a little less, one or two hundred.

After all, everyone's living conditions are better now, and one or two yuan is no longer available. Generally, it takes at least five yuan to start.
