Chapter 1073 Reburial (8000 to Pay Interest)

Ye Yaodong did what he said. He called A Guang the next morning and told him about it. Of course, A Guang agreed.

I don’t know how he convinced his father. Anyway, after lunch, Pei’s father came to the door and said that if there was weather to go out to sea recently, he would let A Guang drive the Fengshou and asked Ye’s father to take care of his son-in-law.

Of course, Ye’s father agreed, but he also explained that he had to wait until he finished paying homage to the new tomb before he could go out to sea.

The two old men sat there and talked to each other. With the leftover food from lunch and a few glasses of wine, they discussed it themselves.

Later, they chatted about everything, a glass of wine and a bite of food, from noon to dusk, and when there was no food to go with it, they even had a plate of peanuts.

It happened that they were drinking at home with their in-laws, and no one could say anything. They could only watch Ye’s father drag people to drink endlessly.

Ye Yaodong only drank two cups at the beginning. After they finished talking, he sat at the door to enjoy the cool air. He ignored the two old men chatting, but turned his head to look into the house from time to time.

"I finally know why my mother hates my father drinking. She really has no idea." Although he didn't sit by the side to accompany the drinking, he would look into the house from the window from time to time when he sat at the door. His father slapped Pei's father with a red face and laughed heartily.

His mother had just left, and his father let himself go. The old lady was shaking her palm fan in her hand, and she kept shaking her head.

"Two people can drink from noon to sunset. No wonder they are scolded every day. They must be strictly controlled." Lin Xiuqing was also sitting on a bench at the door. In front of her was a bunch of water spinach and a basket, and two little kids. She was picking vegetables, and the two children were also clumsily learning to pick water spinach from her.

As a result, my palms were full of juice. The leaves I picked were leaves, the stems were stems, the long ones were long, the short ones were short, and I had a lot of fun.

"It seems that I don't have to cook for Dad tonight." The old lady looked disgusted.

"What the hell, he's already drunk this much. He can sleep until tomorrow when he goes back. I was counting on him to kill chickens and ducks and clean up the pigs, but it's useless. If he can't get up early tomorrow morning, I'll beat him to death with my cane."

"There's no need to clean up the pigs. I've told the butcher to shave all the hair off the pigs. Tomorrow morning, my eldest brother and I will get up early and go to my hometown to catch chickens and ducks. We'll just kill and clean them up."

"Well, let him go out to sea quickly. It's annoying to see him at home. He doesn't do any work and drinks all the time."

"Dad is so happy when mom is not at home." Lin Xiuqing laughed.

"Fortunately, I didn't take the postpartum wine. If he had drunk it all, let's see how he would explain it."

"I put it away. I gave them the starfish wine I made two years ago. There is still a little left. Adong didn't drink much, only Dad would drink it."

"Let's drink him to death. Both of them can drink for hours. The in-laws stood up several times and were pulled down by him. No wonder your mother is angry. I was angry when I saw it."

"I'll go cook first. It's past 4 o'clock. You two go away and play by yourselves." Lin Xiuqing took the picked vegetables and went into the house and started to make a fire. Father Pei was shocked to realize that it was almost time for dinner, so he stood up immediately.

But he drank too much and couldn't stand steadily for a while. He held the table. Father Ye wanted to help him, but he got even more drunk and stepped back two steps. It was still Lin Xiuqing who stood up and supported his arm to make him stand steadily.

She also immediately shouted outside,

"Adong, Dad has drunk too much, Uncle Pei has drunk too much, come in quickly and help them." Ye Yaodong hurried in and helped his father,

"Are you done? Can you still walk? I'll push you back with a cart?"

"Push your head, I can walk by myself. In broad daylight, you push us with a cart, people will laugh to death if they see us, I don't care about face?" Ye's father turned his head and glared at him with a red face, and he was still talking with a tongue?

Ye Yaodong was speechless. This old man didn't look too drunk, but he still knew how to save face? Pei's father also burped,

"You can't push me with a cart, people who don't know would think you want to push me to bury me, no, no, I'll walk by myself..." Seeing him staggering, Ye Yaodong also reached out to help him.

As a result, he had one in his left hand and one in his right hand, so he had to take two steps to the left, and then two steps to the right, walking sideways like a crab, for fear that the two would fall directly to the ground.

Lin Xiuqing hurried over to help him support one more person, but she couldn't support the drunk man who was walking recklessly.

"Let Dad go to the empty room on the first floor to sleep. He doesn't need to go back. Mom isn't home anyway, so he's alone at home. I'll go to my hometown and lock the doors and rooms later." Without waiting for Ye Yaodong to speak, Ye's father immediately retorted and threw Lin Xiuqing away.

"No, I want to go back to sleep. I still have treasures to look after." Pei's father asked confusedly, half drunk and half awake.

"What other treasures do you have?"

"I won't tell you. It's rare that I can hug you to sleep." Pei's father suddenly became smart, widened his eyes, and suddenly became much more sober.

"Oh my god, you're looking for a widow right after your mother-in-law left?" Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing were petrified! Widow?

Ye Yaodong was worried at first, thinking that his father was going to take out the gold ingots in his hand. He didn't expect that his father was so tight-lipped. He was drunk but still kept silent. He was probably not very drunk yet.

I really have to watch him next time. I can't let his father drink so much. I'd better take him out to sea quickly. When his mother comes back, let her watch over him. It will make people feel more at ease.

Ye's father raised his slightly drunken eyelids and started to curse: "Do you think I am a shameless old man like you? You are old and still looking for a widow. You are a widow all the time. You are old and still a widow. You are old and you are not afraid of hurting your waist..."

"What do you know? I am still as good as ever..."

"You are still as good as ever, bullshit. You are like the desert meeting the Yellow River, adding fuel to the fire. You are old, don't get excited and kick your feet..."

"You are a crow mouth, I know you are envious..."

"I envy you, I wish my wife would not come back, so that I can have some peace and quiet. You don't understand, you will always be tired..."

"You don't understand..." Lin Xiuqing was embarrassed when she heard it. The two of them were over 100 years old in total, and they were drunk and still talked such dirty words... Ye Yaodong laughed so hard that he almost died of laughter.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him with a palm leaf fan.

"Don't laugh." After glaring at her grandson, she hit her son with a cane.

"Drink, drink, drink, drink from day to night, and still go crazy when drunk. You two are old and still say this in front of the children, you are not ashamed, you said before that you should have face and dignity..."

"I am not wrong, it is him who is shameless..."

"Shameless, shameless..." Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu had just finished picking vegetables and were bored, so they could only play with the dog. Seeing that the adults had entered the house, they also curiously went in and stood in the corner to listen.

At this time, she also imitated Ye's father's words and repeated the shameless old man. Pei Yu listened to Ye Xiaoxi's shameless old man and repeated it...

"You two are not allowed to learn, you want to learn everything, you are rude." Lin Xiuqing glared at the two children angrily.

"You will teach the children bad things." The old lady became even angrier, and she did not hesitate to hit Ye's father's legs with a cane, but Ye's father didn't feel any pain at all after drinking too much.

Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh anymore, his father taught his daughter bad things.

"You two go to the next door and call the two dads."

"Dad?" Ye Xiaoxi tilted her head and understood.

"Yes, go to the next door and call the two dads over."

"Okay," she ran out happily, and started calling before she even left the house.

"Dad... Dad..." Pei Yu was her little follower, and she also followed behind and called Dad, but in fact she should call uncle.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were at home when they didn't go out to sea. When they heard them calling next door, they had already come out.

Then they watched the two little girls run towards them, picked one up each and walked to the next door.

"What's wrong?"

"Dad called Dad!" Ye Xiaoxi said.

"You old man, shame on you..." Pei Yu still remembered this sentence... The two brothers were stunned. When they arrived at Ye Yaodong's house, they realized that the two old men were drunk and talked a lot of nonsense.

The old lady had been scolding for a while. Seeing them coming, she immediately called them, "You three brothers, hurry up and send these two home. Once they start drinking, they will never stop. What's more, they are all relatives. They are like-minded and get together. They really have company." "Use a cart?" The two brothers said in unison. They really have experience and think that using a cart is more convenient.

But the two old men are both face-saving and speak at the same time.

"You can't use a cart..."

"That won't work. How can you use a cart? A cart is used to transport goods..."

"You can also use it to transport people!" Ye Yaodong added.

"I will walk by myself..." The three brothers hurriedly went up to support the two old men to prevent them from stumbling out and falling to the ground.

After everyone was carried away, the old lady was still mumbling there, scolding Ye's father for being unpresentable.

"Don't call his wife back before he calls her back." Lin Xiuqing didn't answer and was busy preparing dinner first.

Ye Yaodong was taller than his two brothers, so he held his father under his armpits and half dragged and half supported him all the way to the old house, while his two brothers supported Pei's father on each side.

When he arrived at his hometown and sent his father to bed, he thought that his father had always wanted to sleep with the gold ingots in his arms, so he shook the quilt, but he saw nothing.

He suddenly had an idea and touched under the pillow, but there was nothing?

"Dad? Where did you hide your treasure?"

"What treasure? Where did I get the treasure? You took all the money, my pocket is cleaner than my face, I don't have any money, what about the treasure?" Ye's father turned sideways and muttered incoherently.

Still quite alert? He was drunk and still knew to guard against his mother's plunder!

"Have you seen gold ingots?"

"What gold ingots? I still have a cornucopia, don't talk nonsense, I just have a few coins... Go away, go away, are you annoying..." Less than three seconds after the voice fell, snoring sounded immediately.

Ye Yaodong was happy.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep." The only response he got was the snoring. He closed the door, and then closed the front door after he went out.

Because his family had changed the doors and windows last year, once the front door is closed, it cannot be opened without a key. If it is locked from the inside, it cannot be opened with a key.

So there is no need for his father to get up and lock the door, he can just close it directly. As for the windows, in addition to the glass windows, there is also an iron railing to prevent theft. There is no need to worry about thieves with the windows open. In summer, everyone sleeps with the windows open.

At this time, smoke rises from every household, and there are few people sitting at the door. If there are any, they are old men who don't need to cook.

There are more middle-aged and elderly people walking on the road with hoes on their shoulders. They all go to the fields to fertilize, water and weed when the sun is about to set.

When he returned home, the children had already returned, running and jumping at the door. Their bald heads were brighter than the sun, and he immediately became interested.

"Are you all back? Come on... Let's take a picture of you all. It's rare that you are all bald."

"Okay, okay~"

"Wow~ Let's take a picture~"

"Uncle San, wait for me, I'm going to find a stick..."

"I want to get a stick too..."

"My stick... My mother beat me and I don't know where she put it... Uncle San, don't worry, wait a minute..." Ye Yaodong looked at everyone who was looking for a stick like a headless fly in an instant.

"Why don't you just take a broken bowl?"

"No, we are not the Beggars' Sect today, we are monks from Shaolin Temple!"

"Then do you want to bare half of your shoulders and arms?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Yes, yes, and half of your shoulders..." His reminder gave them some inspiration. Those who were looking for sticks stopped and pulled their collars to expose half of their shoulders.

"Hehe~ It's more like it~"

"I'll wear it like this when I go to school tomorrow..."

"Everyone in our class is bald today, but they definitely didn't expect to wear it like this..." Everyone was particularly excited.

Ye Yaodong shook his head and went into the house to get the camera. When he came out, he found that even Ye Xiaoxi followed their example and stretched his left hand out of his collar, exposing half of his shoulder...

"What do you call this? A nun among monks?" Ye Xiaoxi looked at him with innocent eyes,

"I need to take a photo!"

"Okay, it's very uniform. I will show you when I grow up."

"Uncle San, can you print a few more photos, one for each of us?" Ye Chenghai looked at him expectantly.

"It's a must." Everyone must have a copy of the black history. If one person tears it up, others will still have one.

"Stand up straight, horizontally from high to low, in a regular pattern." Now everyone was busy, running around like headless flies, and Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry, just following them.

After they finished lining up, he took the camera. The girls around him looked at him with envy. After seeing this, he also let them take a row and took a picture of them.

Now everyone was satisfied. Lin Xiuqing also wiped his hands at this time, walked out and said with a smile: "I'll take a picture of the four of you bald heads, it's rare to have such complete baldness."

"Okay."

"Dad, I'll find you a stick..."

"I don't want it."

"Yes, it's neater this way." Ye Chenghai has actively pulled out the stick stuck on his broom,

"Uncle San, there is no longer one, if it grows longer, I'll use a bamboo pole..." Ye Yaodong took the broom stick depressed and hit him on the calf first,

"Who told you to act on your own, thinking I'm a fool like you?" Ye Chenghai laughed and dodged,

"Don't talk about us, you are also bald!" Ye Chengjiang said at this time: "Uncle San, there are two limping people in our class today. They said that they went out together a few days ago to find Shaolin Temple, and then walked to the county town. They were so hungry that they went home again, and then the sticks were broken in the middle of the night, and they lay down for several days before going to class." Ye Yaodong's expression immediately became serious.

"You can't learn to be stupid like them. That Shaolin Temple is from TV. The real Shaolin Temple is just a bunch of real and fake monks who can only chant sutras. You can't believe what is shown in the movie. Few monks know martial arts. 99% of them can't."

"We are just joking..."

"I'm afraid my mother will break my legs..."

"They also went out with sticks, and when they came back, their sticks were broken by their parents."

"They deserve to be beaten." Lin Xiuqing also glared at them seriously,

"Movies are movies, they are all lies. Are you stupid to believe this? What if you meet human traffickers on the way? Don't come back. When that time comes, your hands and feet will be chopped off and your eyes will be dug out to beg for food. Let's see what you can do."

"The school broadcast was also broadcast there today, telling us not to do stupid things and go to Shaolin Temple..."

"We don't believe it. We are just playing at home."

"Just know." After this interruption, Ye Yaodong no longer wanted to take pictures of them and put the camera away directly.

When the two sisters-in-law heard about it, they also grabbed their children's ears and warned them that they would not be allowed to leave the house if they dared to sneak out.

He heard all their promises through a wall. Then, before dinner time, he could not see them running outside. They were all grabbed by the ears and ordered to do their homework at home and not allowed to go anywhere.

Ye Chenghu was also carried back by Lin Xiuqing with clothes and forced to do his homework first. He sat at the table with a sigh and looked outside with a face full of desire.

"Hurry up and write. You are not allowed to eat if you don't finish. The rice crust in the evening is for Yangyang." Ye Chengyang's eyes lit up.

"Okay, okay, today's rice crust belongs to me."

"When is the final exam, Ye Chenghu?" Hearing his father call his full name and ask sensitive questions, he immediately sat up straight and pretended to be serious and wrote the outline quickly.

"The teacher didn't say."

"You can't escape. Wait until the test results come out and see how many days you will be beaten." Ye Chenghu's scalp tingled.

"How do you calculate it?"

"No need to beat if you score above 90 points. If you score below 90 points, you will be beaten for one point less."

"Ah..." Lin Xiuqing also thought this was a good idea.

"Just do as your father said." Ye Chenghu's face turned pale instantly. Last year, getting 100 points was an extraordinary performance, and he worked hard. There was a spirit hanging there, but now it's gone.

Ye Chengyang looked at him with sympathy, and then pretended to be well-behaved and said to his parents: "I'll go call Grandpa to come for dinner."

"No need, he's sleeping, don't call him." The dinner table tonight was particularly empty. Ye's mother left, Ye's father was drunk, and there was a person standing in the corner who hadn't finished his homework.

Without the chirping sounds, it seemed particularly quiet, and the old lady was a little uncomfortable. In the past, the dinner table was as lively as it could be. She talked about the tomb sacrifice tomorrow.

Ye Yaodong just comforted them by saying that they had discussed it and they just needed to get up early tomorrow to get busy. Because the tomb repair was not so pleasant, everyone prepared their own offerings when the tomb was moved.

The next morning, before dawn, the three brothers got up and got busy, and even the three sisters-in-law got up to help.

They had prepared the things for the re-burial, and even invited the suona band in advance, just waiting for the time to come, and going up the mountain with gongs and drums.

This time, even the grandchildren took leave to take them up the mountain, Lin Xiuqing also followed, and all the people at home did not fall behind, even the married women followed them up the mountain together.

Although the old man came to the village alone, he has a large number of descendants, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. It is quite a spectacular sight.

Fortunately, Ye's father did not wait for anyone to call him, but came over by himself and took the initiative to take over the work of carrying the load. Ye Yaodong locked the door of his house, handed it to a few younger brothers to watch, and then followed a group of people to the village entrance, and then went up the mountain with gongs and drums.

The newly built tomb is quite large, all built with stones. When standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up the mountain, you can see the newly built tomb.

The tombs built in recent years are all built with stones. In the past, it was just a mound of earth. There are scattered cemeteries on the mountains around them.

After the lively suona sound came to the cemetery, it stopped temporarily. They also needed to rest.

The new tomb does not need to be weeded or swept. They just need to wait for the right time to let the suona sound again.

Then the jar containing the bones was opened and checked. After it was ok, it was buried in the hole of the grave that had been reserved in advance. Finally, the opening was blocked with stones, but not sealed.

After all, the old lady was still there. She would be buried together with her after a hundred years, so it could not be sealed yet. The three brothers of Ye's father did this. The other descendants all knelt there from front to back according to their seniority. The whole cemetery was full of people kneeling. The old man was also blessed to have many descendants.

After the hole was blocked, everyone placed offerings and pressed yellow paper around the grave.

After doing all this, they collectively took the lighted incense and knelt down to kowtow. The three brothers took turns to burn incense, and then talked to their old father, telling each other about their own difficulties and asking for blessings.

Today, the reburial was not for tomb sweeping, and it was not Ye Yaodong's turn to interrupt. He knelt quietly and listened.

When it was his turn to burn incense from the oldest to the youngest, he went up and inserted the incense into the full incense burner.

At this moment, he did not make a lot of wishes without much fuss, but just bowed and simply said that he wanted his grandfather to rest in peace.

From sons to grandsons to great-grandchildren, one by one, they came forward and stood aside after burning incense. There were more people around Ye Yaodong, all of whom were of the same generation, standing around him and talking to him.

No one made trouble today, and everyone was honest. It was not until everyone finished burning incense that the solemn expressions on their faces relaxed and they also had a little smile.

The children also dared to run around the cemetery.

"Once this big thing is done, everything will be easy in the future."

"Yes, don't worry about it anymore, everyone will be smooth sailing next..."

"Yes, everything will go smoothly and peacefully!" The three brothers of Ye's father all knelt there and burned paper money, chatting with the old man while burning, talking about their own things, chattering endlessly.

The blazing fire in front of them reflected their weather-beaten faces, and the burned paper money was blown by the wind, flying all over the sky, and some were still burning and dancing in the air.

The cousins ​​beside Ye Yaodong were chatting enthusiastically, and even Lin Xiuqing was surrounded by sisters-in-law, chattering and very enthusiastic.

After the paper money was burned, the three brothers of Ye's father called them over to pay their respects, and everyone stopped chatting, and each took their place, knelt down with a correct attitude, and kowtowed together.

After all the rituals were almost over, the suona team blew for a while, and the sound of firecrackers crackled.

They also put the offerings back into their baskets, and gave a red envelope to the suona team before going down the mountain. The reburial process today was considered complete.

Then a large group of people carried their burdens and went down the mountain in a mighty procession. The children had already rushed to the front and ran away first.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing were still surrounded by people.

"Dongzi, when you go to catch jellyfish, you must call us."

"How can you go without a power boat?"

"We have already agreed with Ahua and Apeng that the small wooden boat will be put on their boat and taken over together, and the money earned will be divided into 20% for them." Amazing, his two brothers are quite smart this time, and they can draw inferences from one example!

The time is too short, it is not easy to ask other boat builders, so they use the existing small wooden boats in the village.

It happened that several cousins ​​also had three or four small wooden boats, and their newly acquired new boats could pull two small wooden boats to Zhejiang Province without any problem.

Ye Yaopeng was embarrassed when they pointed it out. He smiled awkwardly.

"I told them to keep it a secret. No one should tell this idea. If it is told to outsiders, then one boat will pull several wooden boats. All the boats in the village will pull over, and everyone will catch less fish." Ye Yaohua also smiled uncomfortably, feeling that he had stabbed Dongzi in the back.

"I wanted to find a chance to tell you a few days ago, but it has been raining and I didn't go out. I have been busy with other things these two days." The other cousins ​​also promised that they would not spread it and let outsiders know.

"We will definitely not tell others. If others know, what will we gain?"

"Yes, only our family will know."

"I heard that this idea came from Dongzi. It's still your brain. No wonder you earn more and more and become more powerful."

"Yes, you are the most powerful among the brothers. Now everyone has to rely on you to support us. We all have the same grandfather and are a family. Fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight tigers together." He said it all, what can he do?

Although he was a little depressed, he couldn't blame his elder and second brothers. Everyone wanted to make money. Knowing that he had built so many boats to take to Zhejiang Province, it would be a lie if they didn't feel excited.

But this time he learned a lesson. He couldn't complain about anything until the end. Father Ye couldn't say anything either. He was just a person.

"Okay, you have already discussed it, so what can I say? Anyway, I am not responsible for safety, it has nothing to do with me, you can do it yourself."

"Yeah, we will discuss it ourselves." Ye Yaohua couldn't help but explain again,

"We only found a few cousins, and we also thought that they were not outsiders, and we didn't dare to call others, for fear that it would ruin your business if it got out."

"Yes, we are tight-lipped, and my wife at home also told no one to tell anyone, this is related to whether everyone can make money, and everyone knows that we can't talk nonsense."

"Yeah." Ye's father also added,

"Since you have agreed, it's fine. If you tell others that you earn less, don't complain when you don't make money."

"We will definitely not say it."

"In fact, some time ago, everyone in the village was saying that you called a lot of workers, saying that there would be work next month. Everyone guessed whether you would take so many people to catch jellyfish. Everyone was guessing, but no one guessed why you would take so many people."

"Yeah." Ye Yaodong didn't answer, just thinking about other things. The two percent of his elder and second brothers' profits were not easy to earn. When they got there, they had to settle them.

He would not care. They took the job without his knowledge, so they could handle it themselves. He only had to settle the people he brought on his fishing boat. Others had nothing to do with him.

However, with so many boats, there would be a lot of catches, so they could not give all of them to A Guang this year. Last year, he thought that he had no time to stay at the dock, and A Guang was alone at the dock. The risks had to be borne by A Guang, and the gangsters at the dock were not easy to mess with, so he had to face them alone.

In addition, it was Chen Jianian who notified him and called him up. Since he had received a favor from Chen Jianian, he could not openly go against him and take a share of the pie. It was not morally justifiable.

That was why he gave this free job to A Guang. Later, A Guang took the initiative to waive the agency fee and gave him a red envelope. He felt that it was barely acceptable, but he was embarrassed to accept the red envelope, after all, he was a friend and a brother-in-law.

This year, that won't work. With so many fishing boats going to eat meat and drink soup, he has to talk to A Guang about the share of the profits. After all, he also had a share in the idea and the bridge-making at the beginning.

And he owed Chen Jianian a favor last year, but not this year. Now the tomb-worshiping matter is settled. After going out to sea in the next two days, he will find a chance to talk to A Guang.

In this way, in addition to the income from fishing boats, he also has additional income from intermediaries, which is also good, and will definitely not be less than last year.

There are more fishing boats this year, and the intermediary fees will be higher. It will also be good for him to have more small wooden boats go with him and catch more fish.

Anyway, if they don't catch it, they will be divided up by everyone, at least it can be regarded as a good deal.

Next year, he won't need to toss so much. Just fish casually, leave it to fate, and earn intermediary fees.

After thinking it through, he also had a smile on his face. Originally, he was expressionless, but he didn't lose face directly for this matter.

It's not a difficult matter for A Guang, who is also a wise man. If he doesn't speak up, it's hard to say what the rules will be this year, but if he brings it up, A Guang will definitely divide it.

As for Uncle Pei, A Guang will naturally handle it himself.
