The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era - Vol 2 Chapter 1784
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people got up from the blankets. The men cleaned up and began to gather together. The elders of the family went to pay New Year’s greetings.
Women can get a little more sleep, and then get together to chat together.
During New Year’s greetings, the younger generation will lead the elders at home to pay the New Year greetings to the elderly. There is no custom to kneel down on New Year greetings in Yangjia Village, unless it is for their parents or grandparents who are directly related to the elders.
Of course, if you don’t kowtow to others, you won’t get red envelopes unless you are joking around with each other and let the juniors kowtow to celebrate the New Year. Other times, the equipment of immediate family members will be given to red envelopes. Others don’t need to give red envelopes.
During the New Year’s greetings, the little backers recovered most of the foods such as melon seeds, candies and fried peanuts.
However, people in the city are now offering a red envelope of RMB 5 or RMB 10 for New Year’s greetings. This is not popular here in Yangjiacun, but it feels more real for some small snacks.
Of course, compared with the small snacks in the family, the children definitely like money more. Unfortunately, it is not their turn to call the shots. It is up to the adults.
Now the adults always feel that they don’t give red packets to snacks, so as to avoid unnecessary comparisons, they can only put some melon seeds in their pockets during the New Year’s greetings.
It is estimated that when they grow up to be parents, they will also feel that it is good to give melon seeds, candy and other New Year gifts, but it is uncomfortable to send and receive red envelopes.
It was almost light up after the new year, the adults were holding the fire paper in their arms and the cannons were held under their arms, and the children were carrying fireworks, or bumping into the bag and the cannon or something to follow behind.
Whoever is directly in the elder’s grave will light the first cut of fire paper, and then set off cannons and fireworks to notify the dead elders to get up and collect money.
In the end, everyone stood in a row, with adults in front and children behind, kneeling down and kowtow to the old grave to celebrate the new year. A group of people began to rush to other old graves to continue their graves.
Yang Dongxu feels that the burial method in Yangjia Village is actually quite good now. There is no prescribed cemetery. After the old man passed away, he looked at Mr. Yin Yang and found that it was buried where it was suitable.
Because the cemetery is not concentrated, it is also stipulated that no tombstones and tombs should be built. Therefore, the old tombs surrounding the village will disappear after a hundred or more years, and the dead will not occupy the living places.
For example, the custom in Yangjia Village will add graves to the elders who have passed away during the Qingming Festival, because the graves are all in the fields, and the old graves will get shorter and shorter if no one adds them to the graves. Finally disappeared.
Now Dad Yang will add his grandfather and grandma to his grave, which is the generation of Yang Dongxu’s ancestors. As for the elders before, the graveyard is no longer known.
When it’s Dad Yang’s turn to add to the tomb when he is old, and Yang Dongxu adds to the tomb, it is estimated that he will be added to the ancestors’ generation. But Yang Dongxu was old when Wen Chen grew up.
It is estimated that adding the grave will not reach the grandfather of Yang Dongxu’s generation, but the grandfather of Yang Dongxu, or grandparents of Yang Dongxu, and grandpa Wenchen’s grave.
In short, it is the older generations who are separated longer, because they don’t have too close feelings with the younger generations farther away, and the graveyard will gradually disappear if no one is added, thus forming a virtuous circle.
The graves of the deceased rose in the fields for generations, and the graves of the older generations disappeared in the fields so back and forth.
If you make a special old cemetery, all the elders of a family are buried in one place, and the tomb is repaired, and the tombs are added every new year. As long as the children continue to be heirs, the old tombs 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 for the new generation of people to die without repairing the tombs and the disappearance of the cemeteries of the older generations.
Therefore, it is emphasized that cremation is necessary, and it is not necessary for Yang Dongxu to occupy land resources without burial.
As long as the tombs are not allowed to be built, the coffins buried in the ground after four or five generations will be corroded and collapsed, and the younger generations will gradually lose contact with this earlier ancestor, or no one will add tombs for other reasons. These tombs will naturally disappear again. Become farmland.
“Go and play cards!” After the ancestor worship, everyone is not hungry.
Because I had already eaten dumplings when I got up in the middle of the night and the next year, everyone got up for a few hours without sleeping and was not hungry at all.
For breakfast on the first day of the new year, it is normal to eat at ten o’clock in the middle of the night when you are hungry. So since it’s all right, playing cards has become today’s entertainment.
“You go first, I have something to do, and I’ll go there later.” Yang Dongxu shook the phone in his hand to indicate that he had something to do, and asked Da Liang to go play first.
There was a reply to the news that Dai’er had inquired about. Qian Liang’s mine was suddenly blocked and asked to suspend work. He picked out all kinds of problems and prevented the mining from opening.
Because it was the Morgan consortium in the United States that pushed this matter, but the relationship is not the main one.
The real reason has a lot to do with the general environment in which China made investments in other countries or talked about cooperation. The United States made a huge effort to disrupt the original good cooperation, and even cooperated with the local government to swallow up China’s early investment.
Therefore, the fact that the Qianliang mine was hindered from starting construction was essentially the United States’ obstruction of China’s investment and development in the international arena. The Morgan Consortium just pushed the boat forward.
It is precisely because this kind of advancing the boat is not mainly aimed at, which makes this matter difficult to deal with. Unless you agree to let the U.S. get a layer of oil and water, there is no way to dismiss the rogue, even if Yang Dongxu comes forward.
Because the current U.S. is not only aimed at China, but also against North Russia and 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, and with the US military background. 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 success of the Morgan Consortium, there may be shadows of collaborators like Yang Dongxu. Therefore, in this matter, Yang Dongxu could not use the current relationship of these collaborators to solve this problem perfectly so that Qian Liang did not suffer.
Because if he helped Qian Liang this time, he would stand on the opposite side of his collaborators, the Morgan Consortium and all the big American capital. He does not have the power to confront him now.
Not only him, but the entire Huaxia International Investment Company was embarrassed by the rogue-like US card.
Although China is developing rapidly now, its domestic economy is thriving and its international status is constantly improving, and its influence in the world is also increasing day by day, and it has begun to establish its image as a great country.
But after all, China has only just risen. Compared with the old gangster who has been rampant for hundreds of years in the United States, there is a big gap in strength, strength, and international influence.
In the international community, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. No one else has the fist and wants to straighten up and speak without confidence.
