The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

On the morning of the first day of the new year, before it was bright, many people got up from the bed, the men cleaned up and started to gather together, and the elders of the family went to pay New Year's greetings.

Women can sleep a little longer, and then get together and chat if they have nothing to do.

During New Year’s greetings, the juniors are at home and the elders lead the elders to pay New Year’s greetings to the elderly. There is no custom of kneeling in Yangjiacun’s New Year’s greetings, unless it is for one’s own parents, or grandparents.

Of course, if you don’t kowtow to others, you won’t get any red envelopes, unless you’re joking around and ask the juniors to kowtow to you, and you’ll be given some points wherever you’re framed. At other times, you’ll be given red envelopes for the equipment of your immediate family members, and no one else will be given red envelopes.

During New Year's greetings, the little backs take back most of all kinds of melon seeds, candies and fried peanuts.

But now people in the city pay New Year's greetings and start to give a red envelope of five or ten yuan. This is not popular in Yangjia Village. It feels more real to give some small snacks.

Of course, children definitely like money more than the small snacks that these families have. Unfortunately, it is not their turn to make decisions now, and it is the adults who have the final say.

Now adults always feel that they don’t give red envelopes to small snacks, so as to avoid unnecessary comparisons, so they can only put some melon seeds in their pockets during New Year’s greetings.

It is estimated that when they grow up and become parents, they will also feel that it is good to give New Year gifts such as melon seeds and candies, but it will be uncomfortable to send and receive red envelopes.

After paying New Year’s greetings, it’s almost dawn. The adults are holding firepaper in their hands and cannons under their armpits, and the children are carrying fireworks, or small cannons that are bumped into bags follow behind.

Whoever lights the first knife on the grave of the elders in the immediate family, and then sets off fireworks to notify the deceased elders to get up and collect money.

In the end, everyone stood in a row, adults in front and children behind, knelt down and kowtowed to the old grave to pay New Year's greetings, and a group of people began to rush to other old graves to continue visiting the grave.

Yang Dongxu feels that the current burial method in Yangjia Village is quite good. There is no designated cemetery. After the old man passed away, he went to Mr. Yin Yang to have a look, and he felt that he could be buried wherever he felt suitable.

Because the cemeteries are not concentrated, and it is stipulated that no tombstones and tombs should be built, the old graves around the village will disappear after a hundred years or more, and there will be no phenomenon that the dead occupy the place of the living.

For example, the custom in Yangjia Village is to add graves to the elders who have passed away during the Qingming Festival, because the graves are all in the fields. During normal farming or when it is windy and rainy, if no one adds graves, the old graves will become shorter and shorter until Finally disappear.

Now that Father Yang’s grave will be added to his grandpa and grandma, that is, the generation of Yang Dongxu’s ancestors. As for the elders from earlier, the cemetery is no longer known.

When it is the turn of Yang's father to add to the grave when he is old, and when Yang Dongxu adds to the grave, it is estimated that the ancestor's generation will also be added. But Yang Dongxu was old when Wen Chen was growing up.

It is estimated that adding a grave will not go to the generation of Yang Dongxu's ancestors, but to the graves of Grandpa Yang Dongxu, or Yang Dongxu's grandparents, and Grandpa Wenchen.

In short, it is the elders who have been separated for a long time, because there is no close relationship with the younger generations who are farther away, and the cemetery will gradually disappear if no one adds it, thus forming a virtuous circle.

Generation after generation, the cemetery of the deceased rises in the field, and the cemetery of the elders disappears in the field.

If you set up a special old cemetery, all the elders of the family are buried in one place, and the tombs can be repaired, and the graves will be added every year and festival. As long as there are no more children, the old graves will not disappear. There will be more and more, until the dead occupy the place of the living.

Therefore, if there is no major contribution, it is normal that the tombs are not repaired and the monuments are not erected, the new generation of people grow old and die, and the cemeteries of the older generations disappear.

Therefore, it is now emphasized that cremation is necessary, and that burial does not occupy land resources. In fact, in Yang Dongxu's view, it is not necessary.

As long as tombstones are not allowed to be erected, and the coffins buried in the ground after four or five generations are corroded and collapsed, and the younger generations are gradually separated from this earlier ancestor, or no one adds tombs for other reasons, these tombs will naturally disappear and be recreated. into farmland.

"Let's go, let's go play cards!" Everyone was not hungry after the ancestor worship.

Because when I got up in the middle of the night to pick up the New Year, I had already eaten a meal of dumplings, and I didn’t sleep for a few hours. Everyone got up to celebrate the New Year, and they were not hungry at all.

For the breakfast on the first day of the new year, it is normal to eat it when you are hungry in the middle of the noon. So since there is nothing to do, playing cards has become today's entertainment.

"You guys go first, I still have something to do, I'll go there later." Yang Dongxu shook the phone in his hand to signal that he had something to do, and asked Da Liang and the others to go play first.

There was a reply to the news that Dai Er had inquired about. Qian Liang Mine was suddenly blocked and asked to suspend work.

Because it was the Morgan consortium in the United States that promoted this matter, but this relationship is not the main relationship.

The real reason has a lot to do with Huaxia's original good cooperation when investing in other countries or discussing cooperation.

Therefore, the fact that Qianliang Mine was blocked from starting construction was essentially the same. The Morgan consortium just pushed the boat along.

It is precisely because this kind of smooth sailing is not the main target, which makes this matter difficult to deal with. Unless it is agreed to let the US side, there is no way to dismiss it, even if Yang Dongxu comes forward.

Because the current United States is not only aimed at Northern Russia, but also at other weak and small countries. This is the overall interest of the United States.

It's not that he worked with Little Jack before, with the Kennedy family, or with the American bigwigs with military backgrounds. Because the interests of their cooperation were threatened by the Morgan consortium, they were prompted to cooperate.

Qian Liang's mine did not have the interests of Yang Dongxu's collaborators, so the Morgan consortium did not hinder them this time.

Even behind the smooth sailing of the Morgan consortium, there may be shadows of collaborators like Yang Dongxu. Therefore, in this matter, Yang Dongxu has no way to use the relationship of these current partners to perfectly solve this problem so that Qian Liang will not suffer.

Because if he helps Qian Liang this time, he will stand on the opposite side of his collaborators, the Morgan consortium and all the big American capitals. He doesn't have the power to fight now.

Not only him, but also the entire international investment, is the same as the United States.

Although China is developing rapidly now, its domestic economy is thriving and its international status is constantly improving, its influence in the world is also increasing day by day, and it has begun to establish its image as a big country.

And if you fall behind in the international community, you will be beaten. No one else has the confidence to stand up and speak up.
