On All Souls' Day, My Family Grave Suddenly Grew Bigger

On All Souls' Day, I went back to the village to honor the ancestors, and found the family grave had grown a whole size bigger. The area around it had been repaired and rebuilt too, the table piled high with offerings, and there was a faint stench coming off it. I almost thought I'd come to the wrong place. When I asked my mother what was going on, all I got was a scolding. "Look at how well your cousin's done for himself. Two years out making his way in the world and he struck it rich, and the first thing he did when he came back was bring honor to the family."
