Ah Hu was the first to ask: "How expensive is it? Is there a big tomb where they can be buried together?"
Chen Min shook his head: "I don't know about this. Didn't you mention it just now? The mountainous land has just been auctioned, and we still have to wait for developers to invest in it."
"...The environment is quite good." Wang Qing was obviously moved, "It's not far from the city."
Chen Min couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, Brother Hu, do you plan to come back to Rongcheng for burial in a hundred years?"
"Of course!" Ahu answered first: "We are from Rongcheng, so naturally we have to be buried here. It's just that the environment of the cemetery in the city is not good now, it is very crowded, surrounded by factories and so on. Looking at
The pollution is quite big. When we were young, we worked hard and finally didn’t have to live in a Datong shop. When we are old, we can’t stand the small monuments squeezed into each other like sardines! It’s better to buy in the suburbs - here
That’s pretty good.”
Everyone is already old, so there is no need to shy away from talking about such topics, even in a tone of discussion and longing.
Chen Min explained: "If I want to go back to my hometown in Rongcheng, I really don't support buying a cemetery in the city. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the air is good, the environment is good, and it's only ten minutes' drive from the city, so it doesn't count.
It can’t be far. Since we are coming back, we might as well come here and buy it. Then we might as well buy it together and have a companion.”
"Hahaha!" Ahu laughed: "That's right! What a good idea! If you can chat every day, your life will be easier."
"Everyone is gone." Cheng Tianyuan joked in a funny way: "Why are we talking about living together? I don't know if we can chat, but the idea of getting together is quite good."
Ahu quickly asked: "Ayuan, do you want to join in the fun? If you like it, why not buy a few and line them up in a row."
Cheng Tianyuan hesitated a little and said, "I'm not sure yet. I have to discuss it with my wife."
Chen Min shook his head: "Ayuan is of no use at all. His hometown is in Chengjia Village, which has its own mountain. Villagers in this village can go up to the mountain to be buried without any restrictions. His parents are buried in the mountain.
He should come back in the future."
"Not necessarily." Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "Ling Ling may want to stay in the Imperial Capital. I also want to stay in the Imperial Capital. I heard A Heng say before that a new cemetery has just opened near their nursing home and the environment is quite good. Later, my aunt
When you die, you will be buried there. Lingling asked Aheng to ask Aheng and said that he would choose a few spacious places to buy."
Ahu couldn't help but advise: "You are from Rongcheng, it would be better for you to return to your roots after falling leaves."
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at him and explained: "It's not that I don't have feelings for my hometown, it's that I... I want to be buried with my wife. Wherever she is, I will be. The children are now working and living in the imperial capital, and they probably won't be buried together in the future.
Leave the imperial capital. Stay closer to her and the children, which is more important than anything else."
"That's right." Ahu muttered: "Stay closer to the children. The children can only visit you during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival. If you are thousands of miles away, it will be troublesome to fly for three hours. At first, you may come once every year or two.
It’s been a long time, I guess I won’t be able to come here for a few years.”
Chen Min joked in a funny way: "They are all dead, and there are only a few bones left - what do you expect? Will they come, and will they come more or less? Do you think you can know it yourself?"
Everyone laughed.
Wang Qing tilted his head and looked at his wife, and whispered: "...Let's come back. Buy something nearby, and we'll be friends with Amin."
"Okay." Ahu nodded in agreement: "Anyway, we will live and die together. This is our hometown, it's better for us to return to our roots."
Chen Min suggested: "When someone else comes to develop it, I will go and ask first. If there is one that is suitable and spacious, I will let you know."
"Okay!" Ahu said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you! It's better to buy it first. As you get older, who knows when you will leave! Children won't care about such things, they are busy
It’s our own. We’d better prepare everything we should prepare ourselves so that we don’t have to rely on them to do it in the future, which we won’t be satisfied with.”
Chen Min nodded in agreement: "I think so too, so I thought of paying attention to it in advance. If you have money around, buy it first. If you have more money, you can buy a few more as investments."
"Invest in everything!" Ahu laughed and scolded: "Are you short of money? You are crazy about money!"
Chen Min laughed and said: "Isn't that right? Nowadays, land or real estate prices are basically rising every year. Since you can buy it, you can make the last wave of investment. If you can sell it, you will make a profit. If you can't sell it, you will make a profit.
It’s useful, isn’t it good? After all, who won’t be buried in the soil in the end?”
Everyone laughed!
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh: "In a blink of an eye, our heads are all gray... In the past, we drank in front of the roaring river and talked passionately about what we would do in the future. Now that we are older, we have to find something to lean on when sitting, and we can only look at
Discussing in the green mountains and loess, it’s time to find a cemetery.”
"Yes!" Ahu curled his lips: "There is nothing we can do. How do you say that - no one has died since ancient times. Isn't that true?"
Wang Qing nodded.
Ahu continued: "Humans, everyone has to die. At our age, we have done everything and tasted everything, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. We are not afraid of anything anymore, really. We can take everything lightly."
Chen Min couldn't help but persuade his friend: "Ayuan, why don't you discuss it with your sister-in-law? It would be nice for us to be neighbors in a row from now on."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "If I want to go back to Rongcheng, then I can only go back to Chengjia Village. After all, that is the old base of our old Cheng family. But I still prefer the Imperial Capital."
Ahu smiled and said: "Wherever my sister-in-law is, he will follow her."
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "My parents and I have some different ideas. They are both natives and are deeply influenced by traditional culture. They have the idea of returning to their roots after falling leaves, and I respect them. However, I have been there for most of my life.
Over there in the imperial capital, I will probably die there in the future. Ling Ling should be the same. In this case, just bury her nearby. As long as I can be with her, it doesn't matter where I am."
Ahu couldn't help but ask his wife, "Um - how do you say that sentence?"
Wang Qing smiled and replied: "We were born in the same quilt, and we died in the same acupuncture point."
"Yes, yes!" Ahu laughed and said, "That's it! Romance for our seniors!"
Chen Min's eyes were filled with obvious envy, and he whispered: "This is not something that those young people nowadays who are afraid of marriage and children can understand..."
"Of course they can't understand." Cheng Tianyuan sighed: "As society develops, material conditions are very good, and people's pressure becomes greater. Today's young people don't like to take responsibility, and they pay more attention to themselves. The more conditional marriage is, the more difficult love will be.
If it becomes materialistic, the marriage will be less likely to be stable and strong. We are covered with the same quilt, but our thoughts are different. If we keep talking about divorce all day long, how can we think about being buried together even if we die together?"
Chen Min smiled bitterly: "The three children around me... say all the time that they don't even have the motivation to fall in love - it's really sad."
