Chapter 378 Graves
"Why is this happening? Why was there no monument erected during the burial?"

Little Tutu became more and more curious, and even the netizens also became curious.

"Every grave should have a tombstone, right? Isn't this common sense?"

"A tomb without a tombstone, wouldn't it be a lonely ghost?"

"I heard that there are some special people who kept their identities incognito during their lifetime, and their identities cannot be revealed after death, so no tombstones will be erected."

"Where do ordinary people have these concerns? The reason for not erecting a tombstone must be because they are too poor. Just wrap it in a straw mat in ancient times, then drag it to the wilderness, dig a hole and bury it. Where is there any tombstone?" .”

"That's right, poor families are buried in mass graves."

"But this is not a mass grave. This is a serious tomb. There must be a tombstone."

……

Little Tutu was puzzled again: "Is there any special custom?"

"Actually, being poor is another aspect." Yu Yishan said: "In that age when supplies were scarce, food was almost out of reach, and where there was money to carve a stele, we had to drag it on first, and then replace the tombstone when the economy was more affluent." superior."

"Others, there are also customary reasons. For example, in some places, if the deceased has not reached a certain age, it is considered not eligible to erect a monument, or the monument cannot be erected immediately after death, and it needs to wait for several years. "

"There are also some old people who have no descendants, or those who have no sons and only daughters, and they cannot erect monuments."

"There are also various deaths that were not accidents, but were not normal deaths..."

"In short, the customs are different in different places, and there are all kinds of strange rules."

"Therefore, there is no need to be surprised to see these graves. There must always be some reason."

Li Xiang smiled embarrassingly: "My family was poor at that time, and it has been procrastinating since then. I had some spare money a few years ago, so I thought about erecting a monument for my grandparents and repairing the tomb. "

Yu Yishan stayed for a while, and then said to himself: "Looks like it's time for me to repair my parents' grave..."

At this time, the little rabbit's ears were sharp, and when he heard the words, he leaned over: "Xiu, anyway, you are not short of money now, so it's time to build a luxurious mansion for your parents."

"Yeah, there is no shortage of money now..."

In fact, Yu Yishan felt that repairing the tomb was not very meaningful. When he had no money, sweeping the tomb was just weeding.

He thought it was good that the grass grew lushly on the grave, but weeding is also a custom, and the old people said that if the grass was not removed every few years, the grave might not be found when they came back.

Therefore, the custom of weeding in Yishan is still understandable, and it is a matter of substance.

However, some other behaviors now make Yu Yishan feel a little puzzled.

For example, many people like to wrap their graves with cement and make them into a house with a small wall around them. They seem to think that such a cemetery is very high-end.

The richer the people, the more luxurious the tombs of their grandparents were. They even surrounded the surrounding ground and built a big garden. Parents and grandparents are all surrounded in the garden, which is very conspicuous from a distance.

In this way, he has face, and has left a good reputation of filial piety in the local area, and everyone can know that he has made a fortune.

Whether they are out of face or filial piety, no one knows.

In short, as long as someone in the local area takes the lead and puts cement on the tomb, others will follow suit. I feel that if I don’t make the ancestral tomb beautiful, I will be inferior to others in the village.

However, these people were not filial in life, so what's the point of waiting until their parents are dead to do these superficial things?
Could it be that they waited until their parents passed away to recall the kindness of their parents, and then felt very guilty, and only then began to toss themselves hard, tossing until they went bankrupt and had to arrange the funeral?
Not to mention, in some places, the cost of funerals is indeed regardless of the cost, and even the debts have to bury the parents in a grand manner. The money spent on a funeral is more than the living expenses for the parents for decades.

It’s not enough if you don’t spend the money. If you do something about the funeral, you will be stabbed in the back, and the villagers will shake their heads and sigh, and they will be sneering and sarcastic.

This is an embarrassing situation in the city, and it is even more serious in the countryside. In ancient times, this kind of family could not survive in the local area.

These funeral customs are obviously not very reasonable, but they are taken for granted by everyone, and it is not enough to show filial piety without tossing around.

Yu Yishan couldn't avoid this vicious circle, he didn't care what others said about him, but if he didn't repair his parents' and ancestral graves as soon as possible, the old village chief might criticize him too.

The tomb must be rebuilt, Yu Yishan thought, since it will be repaired sooner or later, it is better to make it bigger.

Rather than being criticized by those villagers for being unfilial, it is better to throw a sum of money. The onlookers are dumbfounded, and they can only comment sourly. He is an upstart with a lot of money.

Anyway, Yu Yishan is not short of money now, let those boring people envy and hate him.

Thinking of this, Yu Yishan decisively said to Little Tutu: "Repair! I will make plans to repair the grave for my parents when I get back."

Li Xiang cheered up: "There is no need to worry too much about this kind of thing, as long as it is completed before the end of the year... Or, leave this matter to me? I will bring my cousin and find a time to go over and do a few Days, it can be done properly in a few days."

Yu Yishan shook his head: "No, I have to do it myself."

"Do it yourself?" Li Xiang looked at Yu Yishan suspiciously: "Have you... ever done construction work?"

Although Yu Yishan looks very strong, the construction industry is not all about strength, especially for this small-scale project, all the processes must be completed by himself, and the quality of the work done by professionals and non-professionals is obviously different. the difference.

Yu Yishan shrugged: "It's not bad, I still have a little experience."

Little Tutu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Master Shan, he is still building his own house recently."

Li Xiang's expression became weird: "Build a house yourself? You are so rich, why do you still do this kind of work?"

Yu Yishan said: "Anyway, I'm idle, doing something, and I can live broadcast it by the way."

Li Xiang was speechless. He couldn't understand the life of the rich. I heard that some rich people like to grow their own vegetables. This is also a way of life. As long as they have money and time, they are free to do whatever they want.

Unlike poor people like him, he would go hungry after a few days of work stoppage.

A few people chatted and walked to the top of the mountain. Li Xiang pointed to the slope ahead: "That area is the fruit tree planted by my family."
