Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

When everyone arrived, Deng Shirong said: "I have called everyone here mainly to discuss the matter of building a cemetery in the clan."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, not knowing what a cemetery was.

Deng Yungui asked: "Uncle Jiu, what do you mean by this cemetery?"

Deng Shirong replied: "To put it simply, it is to build a cemetery, and then bury all the old and new graves of the clan in this cemetery. If they are buried in a unified way, it will not only make it easier for future generations to worship, but the most important thing is that the clan members will not They will be buried everywhere on various hills just like now.

There are burials all over the place, which is nothing in a short period of time, but think about it decades or even hundreds of years later, the graves of so many tribesmen will occupy all the hills, right? You will understand what it will be like when you think about it!

After all, the top of the mountain has been fixed, but the number of graves has been increasing..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood it.

I had never thought about this problem before, but now that I think about it, I feel a little numb.

Deng Shi'an muttered: "Lao Jiu, what you said makes sense. Now the population of our Deng family is over three thousand. In a hundred years, there will be thousands more graves. If they are all buried like now, then It's a big problem indeed.

I am afraid that in one or two hundred years, the place where we live now will be surrounded by graves. "

Deng Yungui said: "Uncle Jiu, if you tell the clansmen this terrible idea and ask them to bury the new grave in the cemetery, it probably won't be a big problem, but if you want to move the old grave to the cemetery, it will be difficult." Agreed."

Rural people have been relatively superstitious since ancient times, and moving ancestral graves is a truly important event.

Especially in the Bobai realm, ancestral tombs are valued very highly, and many disputes arise due to ancestral tombs.

Let alone an ancestral grave with many descendants, even if it is to move the grave of one's own parents, as long as one brother disagrees, then the grave cannot be moved.

It is very difficult to reach a consensus on relocating the tomb.

The reason is very simple. Those families who are in harmony and have many children and grandchildren are very satisfied with their current living conditions. Of course, these good-looking people will not move their graves. If their feng shui is ruined, something bad will happen to their family. situation, it will be too late to regret it.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is very difficult to get these well-off descendants to agree to move their ancestral graves.

As for those descendants who were not doing well, they actually wanted to move their graves.

After all, they will not review themselves, but blindly attribute all the reasons for their unsatisfactory life to their ancestors' lack of blessing. They think that after they move their ancestors' position, maybe their ancestors will start to bless them so that they can live a better life. Good life.

And there are quite a few people who hold this idea. This is what the saying goes, "It's hard to get rid of bad things."

Deng Shirong naturally knew this. He said: "My idea is this. We will not move the graves of the ancestors of the De generation and above. We will only move the graves of the ancestors of the Wan Zi generation and below. Of course, then again , regardless of whether to move or not, it is voluntary and not forced.

But in new graves, people can no longer be buried anywhere as before. When the cemetery is built, they must be buried in the cemetery. This way, the situation where the residence is surrounded by graves will not happen a hundred or two hundred years later. "

"If the grave is moved voluntarily, then there will definitely be no problem."

Deng Yunqiang nodded and said, "As for the new grave, it should be fine if Uncle Jiu comes forward and tells everyone."

Deng Shi'an asked: "Lao Jiu, where do you plan to build this cemetery?"

Deng Shirong had already thought about it and replied: "I plan to build this cemetery in Gaolongtang, where the ancestor of our Ye Deng family is located. That is the tallest and largest mountain in our Ye Deng family. Not to mention there are many, so build a cemetery on it. Thousands and hundreds of graves should be no problem, what do you think?”

The cemetery he advocated was different from the cemeteries built in the city. The current burial method was still used, but the graves were gathered together to save space, that's all.

Instead of building a palm-sized tomb, it would definitely be difficult for the tribesmen to accept it.

Deng Yungui said: "Uncle Ninth, just building a thousand or hundreds of tombs is not enough!"

Deng Shirong said: "Build a thousand or several hundred for the time being, and build the others in other places later. Anyway, as long as you have the awareness of centralized burial, instead of burying one here and there like now."

Deng Shian asked again: "How to choose the location of this cemetery? After all, everyone wants to be buried at the top of the mountain, not at the foot of the mountain."

Deng Shirong said: "This is how I think about it. Just build the cemetery one layer at a time, and then rank them from high to low according to their generation. For example, the ancestors are buried on the top of the mountain, and those who are born in the 10,000-year-old generation are buried on the second floor. are buried on the third floor, and so on.

If this layer is not enough, then postpone it to the next layer. "

Deng Shi'an nodded and said: "This is also a way, but I think there is another condition that can be added, that is, outstanding figures in the clan, no matter what generation they are, can be buried on the second floor after the ancestors a hundred years later. Like Chang Yong, and those like you, Lao Jiu, who have made great contributions to the clan and are qualified to open a separate page in the genealogy, can be buried on the top of the mountain like the ancestors for all the descendants of the Nayedeng family. bye."

Hearing this, Deng Yungui nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle Shi'an, this is a good suggestion. I agree."

Deng Yunqiang smiled and said, "I agree with it, and I believe that the clan members will not have any objections. After all, this is not a matter of one or two generations, but a matter of thousands of generations. Any family may give birth to outstanding descendants."

Deng Yunxing said, "This is fair, and I agree with it."

The other elders also nodded in agreement with the old clan leader's proposal.

Deng Shirong, as a direct beneficiary, naturally would not object, so the matter was settled.

...

The next day.

Deng Shirong convened a clan meeting to discuss the construction of a cemetery.

This was proposed by the clan leader, and the clan elders also agreed unanimously. Naturally, other clan members would not have any objections.

Besides, the harm of random burials, after the clan leader's reminder, all clan members also realized it, and building a cemetery for unified burial is indeed a very good solution.

As for determining the burial location according to seniority, it is also appropriate. There are also those who have made great contributions to the clan and are qualified to open a separate page in the family tree. They can be buried on the top of the mountain like the ancestor. This proposal has also been agreed by everyone, and everyone is convinced.

There are also outstanding people in the tribe who are qualified to be buried in the second layer, which is also a kind of encouragement to all tribe members, so naturally no one has any objections.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Deng Shirong made the decision and said, "Since everyone has no objection, then this is settled. The group will pay for the construction. During the construction of the cemetery, all clansmen can go back and discuss with their brothers and uncles to see whether to move the graves of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents to the cemetery."

"This really needs to be discussed carefully. Moving graves is no joke."

"The Feng Shui master said that my father's grave has a "shell", so my father's grave will not be moved."

"Everyone can go to the Feng Shui master first. If the Feng Shui master says it is suitable to move, then you can move it. If it is not suitable, then don't move it."

"If you want to move, then move it. Anyway, I have many descendants now, and my family is living a prosperous life. I won't bother my ancestors. Let them rest in peace!"

"..."

All clansmen agreed to build a cemetery, but when it comes to moving ancestors, nine out of ten clansmen expressed their unwillingness to move. Anyway, the clan leader also said that it was voluntary, so everyone told the truth.

The main reason has been mentioned before. Everyone is living such a good life now. Most people are unwilling to move the graves. They are afraid of disturbing the Feng Shui that should not be moved. Then there is really no place to cry.

In fact, not to mention others, even Deng Shirong himself has no intention of moving the graves of his parents.

Instead, his deceased wife will be buried on the top of the mountain of the cemetery after he has passed away. At that time, his children and grandchildren can move his deceased wife to be buried with him.

After discussing the cemetery, everyone determined the day to shovel the public mountain. These are carried out every year. Deng Shirong, the head of the clan, does not need to worry about what to do. The directors of the clan will arrange everything properly.

For more than half a month, the whole Bobai was busy shoveling the mountain and offering sacrifices to the mountain.

After the Naye Deng clan started to offer sacrifices to the mountain, other surnames have followed suit in recent years. The mountain offerings are either not offered or offered for three consecutive years.

Therefore, in every township in the county, you can see those large trucks with surname flags, pulling the clan members through the market with gongs and drums.

After more than half a month of excitement, it slowly calmed down.

…

That afternoon, when Deng Shirong was drinking tea and chatting with Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Changbao and others in his villa, a clan member suddenly came over on a motorcycle and shouted: "Jiugong, something big has happened. Guai Maqi from Changshou's family is going to jump off the building."

When this was said, the people who were drinking tea were shocked.

"What's going on?"

Deng Shirong put down his teacup, stood up and asked: "Why would he suddenly jump off the building?"

The clan member replied: "I don't know the details, but judging from Guai Maqi's current mental state, he should be taking drugs."

"Bang!"

Deng Shirong slapped the table and cursed: "Asshole!"

He was really angry. He knew the harm of gambling and drugs, so he issued a ban in the clan early on.

At the beginning, the whole clan banned gambling. If anyone dared to gamble (I wanted to use the word "suck", but I was afraid that it would be inharmonious with the word "drug", so I used the word "stick" (touch) instead), he would kick the person out of the group without hesitation. It was precisely because of this sword hanging over their heads that the Naye Deng clan completely stopped gambling over the years. The villages where other surnames were located basically had gambling grounds, but the village where the Naye Deng clan was located did not even have a gambling ground.

In addition, people who play poker basically only play tractors.

And people who play mahjong do not gamble, they directly gamble on drinking water or alcohol, anyway, no one dares to gamble.

In addition to the ban on gambling for the whole clan, in the late 1980s, more and more people took drugs. At that time, Deng Shirong also issued an order to ban drugs for the whole clan. At that time, he told his children that whoever dared to take drugs would have his legs broken, and then he said the same thing to the clan members. No matter who took drugs, he would personally break his legs.

Over the years, thanks to his prestige in the clan, there are countless clan members in Bobai who have been involved in drugs, but not a single person in their Naye Deng clan has been involved in drugs, which makes Deng Shirong, the clan leader, very pleased.

After all, in their previous lives, their Naye Deng clan also had many people who were involved in drugs, and naturally, none of them had a good ending.

And Changshou's son Guai Maqi was one of the members of the clan who was addicted to drugs in his previous life.

Unexpectedly, even though he had issued a ban on drugs for the entire clan in this life, he still couldn't stop Guai Maqi from taking drugs.

When Deng Shirong was angry, he immediately thought that today's matter must be handled well, otherwise the ban on drugs for the entire clan he issued would become a joke. By then, not only would there be a second or third member of the clan who was addicted to drugs, but gambling might also revive.

This was absolutely not allowed.

So, Deng Shirong drove a motorcycle, and together with the clan members who came to report the news, he took Deng Yungui and others to Deng Changshou's house.

Deng Shirong's villa was about one kilometer away from Deng Changshou's villa. They drove the motorcycle over and arrived quickly.

At this time, many clan members had already gathered at Deng Changshou's house, looking at Guai Maqi, who was sitting on the railing with his back against the wall on the third floor and talking incoherently.

At this time, Deng Changshou and his wife were also standing on the balcony on the third floor, standing opposite their son and carefully persuading him. They wanted to go over and pull their son back from the railing, but they were afraid that he would fall from the third floor, which made them so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

The tribe members who were watching below also didn't dare to say anything. What if they said something to provoke Guai Maqi, and then he really jumped down from the top and died or was disabled, and Deng Changshou and his wife might hate him.

So everyone just watched quietly and talked to other tribe members in a low voice.

When Deng Shirong arrived on a motorcycle, the tribe members finally had a backbone and greeted him:

"Uncle Jiu!"

"Mr. Jiu!"

"Chief!"

Deng Shirong nodded, parked the car, and looked at Guai Maqi, who was obviously mentally abnormal on the third floor.

At this time, Guai Ma Qi was sitting on the railing and talking nonsense, his expression was sometimes excited, sometimes angry, and sometimes terrified...

Although there were many people who took drugs in this era, because Deng Shirong had banned drugs in the whole clan very early, most of the clan members did not know what the reaction of people who took drugs was. At most, they heard about it from others, but did not see it with their own eyes.

Now, seeing Guai Ma Qi's reaction, many clan members became alert in their hearts, and they must not let their children touch this thing.

Deng Shirong watched for a few seconds, then walked directly into Deng Changshou's house and quickly came to the balcony on the third floor.

"Jiu Gong!"

Deng Changshou hurriedly greeted Deng Shirong, his eyes full of shame.

After all, Jiu Gong's whole clan banned drugs, and no one in the clan had touched drugs for so many years. As a result, his bastard son broke the exception. He was ashamed and terrified in his heart, and he didn't know how to face Jiu Gong.

Deng Shirong didn't waste time talking to them. With the system space, he was full of confidence. After walking out of the balcony, he rushed over and grabbed Guai Ma Qi's arm at a lightning speed, and then pulled him back from the railing amid the exclamations of the clan members.

Seeing Jiu Gong dragging his son back to the balcony, Deng Changshou and his wife also reacted. They immediately rushed over, grabbed their son tightly, and dragged him into the house.

"Give him more water, and when this bastard wakes up, drag him to the ancestral hall for me."

Deng Shirong gave a sentence, and without waiting for Deng Changshou and his wife to answer, he went downstairs and said directly to the clan members downstairs: "Notify everyone to hold a clan meeting at the entrance of the ancestral hall at 7 o'clock tonight."

As soon as these words came out, the clan members knew that the clan leader was going to "settle accounts later", but they didn't know how to deal with Guai Ma Qi who violated the drug ban?

...

Evening.

At the entrance of the Deng's ancestral hall in Naye.

Except for the tribesmen who were away from home, all the tribesmen who stayed in their hometown came to attend the tribe meeting after dinner.

"Guimaqi, this bastard, actually dared to violate the drug ban issued by Jiugong. He really thinks his life is too comfortable!"

"I heard that Jiugong was so angry that he slammed the table. Guimaqi, this bastard, is really brainless. I heard that people who get addicted to drugs will have a bad end."

"Drug addiction really has a bad end. There is a drug addict in my wife's family. It has been several years. Now he is no different from a useless person. He sold everything that could be sold at home. His wife also left with the children. A good family is gone."

"This Guimaqi should have been addicted to drugs a long time ago. If he had just started, he would not have threatened to commit suicide."

"I don't know if Changshou and others knew about it before. If they didn't know, it would be fine. If they knew, they helped to conceal it..."

"..."

Amid the discussion of the clan members, Deng Shirong, Deng Shian, Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang and other clan elders also came to the ancestral hall.

In less than three minutes, the protagonist of this clan meeting, Guai Ma Qi, was also dragged to the clan meeting site by his father, and his mother and brothers and sisters came with him.

Guai Ma Qi should have woken up at this time. When he came to the clan meeting site and saw the clan leader sitting on the stage with a sullen face, he couldn't help but shudder.

Deng Changshou looked at Jiu Gong and said with shame: "Jiu Gong, I brought this rebellious son here!"

"Sit down!"

After Deng Shirong asked them to sit down, he looked at the clan members below and said: "Dear clan members, I have said a long time ago that gambling and drugs are things that should never be touched. Once you touch them, there will be endless troubles.

Let's talk about gambling first. This is a bad habit left over from the old society and a disguised robbery.

As long as you get involved in gambling, no matter how much wealth you have, it is all empty. Once you get too excited about gambling, you can lose everything overnight.

I worked hard to lead you to become rich, so that you can all live a good life with me, not to let you gamble, and then lose the money you have worked so hard to earn to others at the gambling table. In this way, I am making money for others by helping you.

Why did I do that?

So, I said at the beginning that if anyone dares to gamble, I will resolutely kick out his shares.

Fortunately, over the years, all the clansmen have restrained their gambling addiction, and no one has been found to gamble so far, which is something worthy of praise. "

Hearing this, the tribesmen nodded repeatedly. They also saw the harm of gambling. In addition to their Naye Deng clan, villages with other surnames have gambling grounds, and there are mahjong, poker, dice, and other various gambling methods.

As for those who participate in gambling, unless they become professional gamblers, ordinary people will lose all their money with interest as long as they lose one game, even if they win ten games, because ordinary people can easily get addicted to gambling, so their lives are extremely unstable and they often have to borrow money from others.

Especially some people originally made a lot of money in business, but ended up losing everything because of gambling. Such examples can be found everywhere.

Therefore, the tribesmen are very grateful that the clan leader issued a gambling ban in the tribe. If there was no gambling ban hanging over the heads of those tribesmen who like to gamble, it is estimated that most families would not be able to keep their current wealth.

"If gambling only makes people lose their wealth and their families are separated, then drugs are truly life-threatening things. "

Deng Shirong glanced at Guai Maqi and continued, "Since the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, imperialism has imported a large amount of opium into my country, poisoning our people and causing our country to suffer a century of humiliation. People who are older now should have seen with their own eyes the elders in their clan smoking opium. They were really skinny and died early.

And the drugs nowadays are a hundred times more powerful than the opium of the past. Once you get involved, it is not just as simple as dying early, but you will also become a psychopath, suspicious all day long, and hear some non-existent voices out of thin air. Often, you hear someone talking in your ear. The content of the speech varies. Sometimes many people are talking bad about him, and sometimes one person says everything he thinks.

It is completely impossible to distinguish between the real voice and the hallucination, so he falls into panic and confusion.

Some people will interact with the voices they hear out of thin air, talk to things that do not exist at all, and even argue and curse each other.

Severe cases will cause hallucinations, that is, seeing some unreal things, such as seeing someone chasing him. Some people will have olfactory hallucinations, such as smelling strange odors in food, poison in the air, etc.

There are also some people who think that some things around them that have nothing to do with them are related to them.

For example, if you see someone spitting on the side of the road, you think that person is spitting at him. If you see others talking together, you think that others are talking about him. In short, you feel that everything around you seems to be directed at him.

In short, at this time, people who are addicted to drugs are almost like devils. Many people who have hallucinations after taking drugs even kill their parents, wives and children with their own hands. Therefore, this drug must not be touched. Once touched, there is no way back.

The best case is to die by yourself, and the serious case will drag your close family or others to die together. "

As soon as this was said, the whole audience was in an uproar!
