At the same time as the beam, there is also a happy fruit scattering activity.

There are four kinds of happy fruits, namely fried rice dumplings, fried peanuts with shells, dried longan, and dried red dates, which are placed together in a wooden bucket and sealed with red paper.

Qi Lei was in charge of sprinkling the happy fruit, and when the firecrackers sounded, he tore open the paper envelope, squatted on the front eaves wall with a wooden bucket, condescendingly, and sprinkled a lot of happy fruits down, while grinning and taking advantage of others: "Oh, come to eat, come to eat!"

The children of all sizes in the village, the big girls and the little daughters-in-law, all rushed to grab the happy fruits, and they were jubilant.

After the beam was loaded, Qi Lei slipped down with a wooden bucket.

The women in the village were very neat, grabbed Qi Lei with all their hands and feet, and said with a smile: "Don't run Qi Lei, let's see if you are hiding any secrets!"

Qi Lei panicked, raised his hands in the wooden bucket, and shouted: "No, no, no, it's not much!"

The women resolutely refused to let go, snatched the two handfuls of happy fruits left in the wooden bucket, and came to search Qi Lei's body again.

"Is it a robber? Is there a robbery? Is there still a heavenly reason?!"

Qi Lei struggled hard, but his fists were defeated by his four hands, and he was pressed to the ground by the women of his generation.

But when I heard a few snorts, the pockets of Qi Lei's jacket and pants had been torn.

"Bandits, robbers!" Qi Lei simply stopped struggling and shouted: "Don't tear my clothes, I'll take off my clothes, let you search slowly!"

The women giggled and swept away the longan and red dates hidden on Qi Lei's body, and then let him go.

Zhenhua and Zhang Kexiang couldn't help laughing when they looked at Qi Lei's embarrassed appearance.

Qi Lei got up from the ground in tatters, walked in front of Zhang Kexiang, took out two red dates from his close-fitting shirt pocket, and said with a sad face: "Old classmate, I'm really sorry for you, I was going to leave you some happy fruits, but I didn't expect them to search them all...... These two red dates were bought by me with my blood and life, come on, eat them. ”

Zhang Kexiang blushed with laughter, and waved his hand again and again: "If you stay desperately, you should eat it yourself!"

Qi Lei stuffed the red dates into his mouth, turned around and asked Zhang Kexiang to look at his clothes, and said: "See, Zhang Kexiang, I sprinkled happy fruit on your house today, my clothes are torn, you are a tailor, look at it." ”

Zhang Kexiang was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's good to remember it on my head, go to my store tomorrow, and I'll make you a new set!"

"Interesting!" Qi Lei laughed and gave a thumbs up.

The villagers congratulated Zhao Chenghai and his wife, and also congratulated Zhenhua:

"Zhenhua, your father built you this big house, and you can fight boxing at home!"

"This brick structure of the house, not afraid of wind and rain, through the ages, Zhenhua will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and there is no need to worry about the house!"

Zhao Chenghai smiled all over his face, thanked him again and again, and hurriedly saluted his cigarette.

The craftsmen continued to work, racking all the purlins of the four houses, and then went down to the roof and began to eat the feast.

The rules in this area are like this, all major events are two banquets, the first meal is a small plate of dishes, glutinous rice noodles and a small Lantern Festival, and the second meal is the main meal, big fish and meat, big bowl of wine.

The meal began at nine o'clock, and the craftsmen ate some briefly, and then went to the house to work, laying rafters, reed mats, and tiles.

The rest of the folks continued to drink.

At 12 o'clock at noon, all the roof tiles were paved, and the main body of the project was completed.

Four brand-new large tiled houses stand upright in front of people.

The main meal begins.

The seats were full of friends, and the guests were like clouds.

Zhao Chenghai beckoned the craftsmen and villagers to take a seat, and Zhenhua and Qi Lei ran to the hall and served food and wine back and forth.

In the village, there are still many villagers who help here, such as those who are in charge of the spoon, who run the hall, who wash the dishes, who choose vegetables, and who make a fire......

Director Shi of the bank came and sent a glass plaque with four big characters on it: Huaxia completed.

The old master came, looked at the four houses from front to back, and nodded again and again.

Zhenhua's relatives all came, cousins, aunts, and aunts were all over the house.

Zheng Huailiang, the village party secretary, also came and sent a bed of red quilts.

What Zhenhua didn't expect was that Zhao Wenle, the second old man of the fourth group, also came, and he was generous, with a gift of 20 yuan.

On the first day of the new year, Zhao Wenle said that he wanted to talk to Zhenhua, and then there was no more, and he never came, but he didn't expect to catch up with the wedding wine today.

For Zhao Chenghai, Zhao Wenle, Director Shi, Lao Fuzi and others came to cheer, it is really a great honor, absolutely brilliant.

The old master, Zhao Wenle, Director Shi, Wang Xiang next door, as well as the village doctor Zhou Guoming, the village party secretary Zheng Huailiang, as well as the carpentry master Fu Yao Tianxiang and the bricklayer master Fu Lan Yuliang were arranged at the main table in the middle. Zhenhua and Qi Lei poured wine at the main table.

Zhang Kexiang was arranged at the second table, the first place in the east, that is, the position of the first guest. Zhenxia accompanied Zhang Kexiang and sat under her shoulder.

The other villagers also sat down one by one under Zhao Chenghai's arrangement.

Wang Xiang was not happy with this 'Director Shi on the day of the bird', and said lazily: "Director Shi, you are the God of Wealth, I am a clay leg, I will sit at a table with you today, I have to drink two cups with you, and I will also touch your wealth." ”

Director Shi didn't smile: "Ouch, Master Wang, don't say that, you are the shopkeeper of the butcher's shop, and if you twist your trouser legs, you can screw off two taels of lard." I'm sitting with you, and I've got your oil and water, so I'm supposed to drink with you. ”

Wang Xiang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "How much face do I have, dare to ask Director Shi to drink with me? I offended you, the God of Wealth, and I have no money to eat in the future, so I am hungry, where can I find a way?"

Director Shi also raised his glass and smiled back: "Master Wang has slapped me in the face, I should say this." You are the king's butcher, and if I offend you, I will not be allowed to eat pigs in the future?"

Zhao Wenle is the number one secretary of the township in the field, and he is naturally not confused, as soon as he heard the dialogue between Wang Xiang and Director Shi, he knew that the two of them were not in harmony, and he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang and Director Shi are drinking, and they will also take me one." Come on, let's do this first!"

The relationship between relatives in the countryside is complex and intertwined, Wang Xiang calls Zhao Chenghai the eldest brother, and Zhao Wenle also calls Wang Xiang the eldest brother, and everyone calls each other.

Only then did Wang Xiang and Director Shi stop bickering and toast to each other.

In addition to this table, there are five other tables, each of which also drank its own, and it was in full swing and the momentum was huge.

At halftime, Zhao Chenghai came to the main table and toasted everyone.

Qi Lei took the opportunity to drag Zhenhua and slipped down, and changed to the table on Zhang Kexiang's side.

Qi Lei poured himself wine, stood up, looked at Zhang Kexiang with a smile, and said: "It's all old guys over there, I haven't drunk much, come here to drink two glasses, the focus is to accompany the tailor master Zhang Kexiang to drink two glasses!

Zhang Kexiang also stood up with a wine glass and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, what is the hard work? ”

Qi Lei drank a glass of wine, put his arm around Zhenhua's shoulder, and said to Zhang Kexiang: "Zhenhua and I are brothers, he builds a house, I don't work hard, who works hard?"

Zhenhua poured wine for Qi Lei and picked up the wine glass: "Brother, have a drink, there is no need to say much, it is all in the wine." ”

"That's right, it's all in the wine!" Qi Lei and Zhenhua hooked their shoulders and drank a glass together.

Putting down the wine glass, Qi Lei said to Zhenhua again: "Zhenhua, I built the house for you...... In the future, you will live a good life at home, and I should go out to earn money!"

Zhenhua couldn't cry or laugh, this is obviously the house that my father built for me, how did it become that you built it for me?

Qi Lei patted Zhenhua on the shoulder: "After I leave, my mother and younger brothers and sisters are at home, if there is anything to ask you for help, I am not allowed to refuse!"

Zhenhua nodded, and touched a glass with Qi Lei again: "Go out with peace of mind, I will help you take care of your family's affairs!"

Qi Lei was very satisfied, pointed to Zhang Kexiang again, and said to Zhenhua:

"Zhenhua, Master Zhang is so busy, and he still finds time to help you cook and serve food, don't you accompany others to drink two glasses, drink two glasses in accordance with the rules, and don't steal and play tricks! Pour me up the wine glass, and drink it cleanly, just like a dog licking it!"

"Will you lick one and show me?" Zhenhua glared at Qi Lei, so he had to pick up his wine glass and smile at Zhang Kexiang: "Thank you for coming to help, I'll have a drink with you." ”

In public, Zhang Kexiang was inevitably a little embarrassed, blushing, and rolling his eyes at Chong Zhenhua: "Qi Lei will drink it if you want it, isn't it stupid?"

"Kexiang, Zhenhua has picked up the wine glass, so you can give face. Zhenxia smiled and picked up the wine glass for Zhang Kexiang.
