Chapter 1036 Agree to build the tomb (10,000 words, monthly vote +9)
Lin Xiuqing went to check the dried fish in the workshop after breakfast. The continuous sunny days in the past few days had caused the temperature to climb to 27 or 8 degrees Celsius, and the dried fish in the workshop was almost dry.
Because of the rain a few days ago, the half-dried dried fish became damp again. Fortunately, it has been sunny in the past few days, and she has collected several sacks in the morning.
When Ye Yaodong went there, she was touching each piece to check the dryness.
"Why don't you get a sack?"
"Wait until the sun goes down in the evening before harvesting. The weather is good today. I will give it one more day to dry out. There will be a bit of dew at night and the beach will be a bit humid. It is not that dry to the touch this morning. Has the ground been plowed?"
"It's done and the seeds have been planted. If you don't want to help me, I'm going to buy meat."
"Why don't you go take the toilet to the latrine and empty it? I'm not embarrassed to talk about eating there this morning."
"I'll ask my dad to help me pour it when it gets dark in the evening. Why pour it in broad daylight now? I'll scold people if it smells bad."
"Then just remember."
He was too embarrassed to ask his younger brother to do this kind of work. He came here to work, not specifically to do this. If he let his father do it, he would do it without any burden...
Because his father was used to it...
It has been sunny and windy these past few days. Most of the men in the village are helping with the work at home. It seems that there are more people in the village and there are people walking on the road.
Ye Yaodong was walking in the village carrying the meat he had just bought, and he heard the villagers gossiping again, saying that the father and son of the old Wang family were making trouble at Mouse's house again, demanding compensation for medical expenses.
Not only did they demand compensation for the medical expenses for beating the man in the past few days, but they also demanded compensation for the medical expenses for beating all the men in their family last year.
They have been wrangling for several days. In the past few days, the Wang family, who have three meals a day, have been making trouble at the house of Mouse. They have not stopped from morning to night, and the villagers have gone crazy watching the show.
At first, the relatives of the Mouse family came to help and stopped them, but later they all became weak. Who has time to stay at other people's houses all day and help them with their troubles?
Lao Wang's family was also very unreasonable. If they disagreed, the two families would get into fights, causing disaster every day. Many of the relatives and neighbors who helped to break up the fight were beaten.
In addition, what the two couples did was quite unethical, and their reputation in the village was extremely bad. No one was a masochist. In the past two days, few relatives were willing to come to help with the fight.
The village committee did not fall behind in every fight, but they only used lip service and stood in the corner, mainly letting them argue on their own. It was really that their family was too unpopular, and what they were doing was not human affairs.
"Let's just get divorced. With both families in such trouble, how can we still live together?"
"They are all trying to persuade each other to make peace. Where is the person who is trying to persuade them to break up? Who are they going to look for if we are separated? With such a bad reputation, we might as well just make it up."
"That's true..."
"I heard that Mouzi has been asking for a divorce, but Lao Wang's family refused. They said they had to let Mouzi's family compensate for the medical expenses first, and then talk about divorce."
"The mice were beaten too hard to get out of bed, right?"
"I haven't heard of that. During the two days when the fighting was more severe, relatives and neighbors helped with everything. But no one has been there these two days, so I don't know what happened. I didn't go out, and I didn't hear anything from anyone.
, now I heard that whenever he passes by his house, his mother will start to scold him, saying that everyone has bad intentions and only sees his family’s jokes..."
The faces of the villagers were filled with contempt.
Ye Yaodong could hear discussions wherever he went.
Because the weather was nice, everyone was sitting at the door, mending and weaving nets, or standing in groups of twos and threes chatting.
Some of them still had freshly washed clothes in their hands and were reluctant to go home to dry them, while others had vegetable baskets in their hands, picking vegetables on the spot and chatting.
After hearing all this, he didn't behave like his mother and went to watch the fun at other people's houses, so he went home directly. Anyway, it won't take long for what he should know to be passed on to his ears.
If he had nothing to do and came to watch the fun, he might get into trouble, not to mention that he was not interested at all in what the couple was doing.
If there is any progress or gossip, his mother will also talk about it during dinner.
By the time he got home, his father had already finished all the work the old lady had asked him to do, and he was nowhere to be seen. He wanted to ask his father to pick up the pieces in the evening without even saying a word.
He muttered a few words, and the old lady heard it and said that she had already explained it.
It's true that the two mothers and grandsons have a good understanding and want to go together.
In the evening, their whole family also got moving. All the dried fish and shrimps that were dried in the workshop were put away. The two days of rain did not cause any damage to them, and they were all dried in time.
It's not just that the spring rain is continuous, no, just two days after harvesting the dried fish, the sky was roaring again, and light rain started falling again.
Ye Chengyang was eating breakfast while looking at the lightning and thunder outside, "Why is there no power outage?"
"Crow's Mouth, are you looking forward to the power outage?"
"Hehe...it feels like we haven't had a power outage for a long time. Before, the power went out whenever it rained, and there was a strong wind."
"I have a good memory. I still remember the typhoon day."
Ye Chengyang raised his chin proudly, "Of course."
"There will be more power outages in the summer, less in the spring, and more thunderstorms in the summer."
Ye Chenghu was carrying a schoolbag and wearing rain boots with a sad face as he sat there eating breakfast, "Why do we still have to go to school on a rainy day? Why do we still have to go to school when it's getting so dark today."
"I will be beaten at home because I don't go to school."
"well……"
"Any child who sighs all day long is not allowed to sigh."
Ye Chenghu drooped his head and looked unhappy.
"The Qingming Festival will be held in two days. During the Qingming Festival, you don't have to go to school. You can go to the mountains to sweep tombs, and you can also go begging for tomb cakes."
He immediately cheered up and said, "How many days are there until Tomb-Sweeping Day?"
"The day after tomorrow."
He counted on his fingers, and his shoulders slumped again, "There are still two days! It's been a long time, and I have to study for two more days."
"It's raining. I can take my umbrella to school later."
"What's so rare? I'll take it every day." He muttered.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "Then don't take it today. Just pick a random wild taro leaf and put it on your head to go to school?"
Ye Chenghu immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak. He quickly picked up the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, ran to get the umbrella hanging behind the door, and ran away immediately.
"I'm done eating and going to school."
It rained early in the morning, and the room was dark and dark like night, and everything felt very humid. The family had no other entertainment activities. After eating, they all sat together and watched TV.
It rained continuously from morning to night.
After two days of continuous rain, it gradually stopped, and the sky also glowed with red light, dispersing the darkness.
It wasn't until the morning of Qingming Festival that it completely cleared up, but the road was muddy everywhere, and the weeds on the roadside were covered with water droplets. The fragrance of earth was everywhere, and even the smell of seafood was temporarily covered up.
Early in the morning, the whole family was also holding hoes, those holding brooms, and those holding yellow paper. They were all ready and waiting at the door.
After all three brothers came out, they were ready to set off.
A Guang also came back last night to visit the grave today, so he sent Pei Yu to Pei's house last night.
After all the men went to sweep the tomb, now only Lin Xiuqing and Ye Xiaoxi were left at home, as well as next door. Only Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were left. The other children followed them to beg for tomb cakes.
It was rare for Aunt Ye and his wife to come over early in the morning, preparing to visit the grave together.
Ye's father had already exchanged greetings with her early in the morning. It turned out that her husband's family had already visited the grave a few days ago while the weather was fine, so today they had time to come to the village and visit her parents' grave.
In fact, their cemetery hasn't been repaired yet, so it doesn't matter if they don't sweep it. After all, they haven't been completely buried in the cemetery yet, but the formality still needs to be done.
All the weeds that need to be swept around must be swept away, and all the paper money that needs to be burned must be burned. Otherwise, what are the ancestor flowers for?
"Mom, you're going even though you're old?" Aunt Ye looked in surprise as the old lady, also wearing rain boots and holding a cane, was being helped out by Ye's mother.
"My mother said that she hasn't gone up the mountain to worship in a few years. Now that she can still walk, she plans to go up the mountain to worship with us this year. I don't know if she will still be able to walk in the future," Ye Mu said.
Father Ye also said: "The road is not good. If we can't walk later, it won't be difficult for them to carry it on their backs."
"That's okay, since they are all strong young men anyway, it's okay to carry them up and down the mountain." Aunt Ye said with a smile, "Then let's go to the entrance of the village and wait for the eldest brother and the second brother?"
"Let's go, they should be waiting at the entrance of the village."
The road is still smooth now, and the old lady refuses to carry them on her back, so she walks slowly with a cane.
A large family walked toward the village in a mighty manner, and the main road in the village was basically filled with a large group of people, in groups, either holding hoes or brooms.
Everyone was walking and chatting, and it felt like the whole village was mobilizing.
Some people had already finished sweeping the tomb in advance and sat at the gate to watch.
After Ye's father's family met with Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye, everyone walked straight forward. The three brothers didn't interact with each other. They didn't smile at all, they all had a stinking look on their faces.
Fortunately, the cousins of the next generation still communicated with each other, but they all gathered in front of the three brothers Ye Yaodong. As soon as they saw them coming, they all came to greet them.
The three brothers are now the most promising among their cousins, especially Ye Yaodong, who is famous all over the country.
Everyone gathered around him, chatting as they walked, which somewhat eased the awkward silence of the three brothers, Father Ye.
"Why did you bring grandma here? She's so old, just let her stay at home."
"It just rained, and the ground is wet everywhere. It's easy to fall."
Ye Yaopeng repeated the same rhetoric his mother had said before, but the others remained silent and had no opinions.
If you want to go, then go.
