It's hard to get started. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the preparatory work took a year, when the construction really started, even if two buildings were built at the same time, it did not take a month, and finally on the tenth day of the lunar month, Yang Qitai also went home on vacation, and held a grand ceremony on the beam. This house was built for him, and it must have been justified by his presence.

The book says: The upper beam is like the crown of a person. There is a saying in the countryside: "There are beams on the roof, there is grain at home, there are no beams on the roof, and the six animals are not prosperous." It can be seen the importance of Liang in the minds of the people. The ceremony of the beam is very grand, and the whole process can be divided into several procedures such as sacrificial beam, upper beam, receiving the package, throwing the beam, and waiting for the craftsman. It has been cut now, but there are important steps that must be done.

It is an indispensable procedure to sacrifice the beam before the upper beam. In front of the new house, the main beams covered with red paper or silk are carried into the new house, and offerings such as pigs, fish, chickens, geese, eggs, tofu, and incense candles are placed on the offering table, and bricklayers and carpenters toast while saying good things. After the beam is finished, the main beam is lifted to the roof by a craftsman. When lifting the beam, firecrackers should be firecracked, and the master of the upper beam should sing "Great luck!" , everyone listened to it with joy.

In the process of putting on the beam, it is required to lift the beam up smoothly and steadily, and it is taboo to tilt one before and one behind. After the beam is stabilized, the owner should move the "grain color bag" sent by relatives and friends to the roof, put it in the middle of the beam, implying a good harvest of grains, and drape the red cloth on the beam. Then the carpenter wraps the fruits and food in a red cloth, and throws the cloth bag into the basket held by the owner's hands while saying good things, this procedure is called "receiving the bag", which means to catch the treasure.

The most lively procedure is "throwing beams". When the owner "takes the bag", the craftsman will throw the candy, peanuts and so on high, let the men, women and children who come to see the lively competition, the more people the happier the owner, this move is called "throwing beams", which means "money rolling in". The children in the village were in place early, waiting for this moment. In an instant, the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax, men, women and children were all picking up candy on the ground with their waists, and the sound of laughter and snatching was endless.

The whole ceremony was solemn and lively. As soon as the main beam is up, it means that the house is nearing completion. There is no decoration in these years, and it is already amazing to wipe the floor and paint the walls white. You don't see that most of the houses are still adobe potholes, and the walls are full of holes. In the eyes of the villagers, the smooth concrete floor and smooth walls with lime whitewashing are as cool as the buildings in the city.

Yang Xiaobei has the intention of making the home a little more "luxurious", in fact, it is the floor, wall paint and the like, if you find a way, although it is difficult, you should be able to get it. But looking at everyone's amazed eyes (basically everyone in the village has come to watch), think about it or forget it. The rafters that come out rot first, and the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind. Now that the Yang family is eye-catching enough, it is inevitable that some people are talking cool things, and it is still the king to be low-key.

As early as when she started to build a new house at home, Yang Xiaobei said that she would go to live with her little brother when the time came - she had the best relationship with Yang Qitai and Yi Huifen, and it was understandable to live in the past. Not to mention that the house was built by her money, even if it wasn't, Yang Qitai and the others certainly had no objections, and they left the best room in the south to her early.

The three brothers of the Yang family waited for Yang Qitai to become relatives, and they were officially separated. At that time, Yang Laohan's support should also be brought to the table. Yang Laohan originally insisted that he still live in the old house alone, but everyone resolutely disagreed--how could he let the old father live alone if he had children and daughters living together?

Other people's families are passing the buck to each other, and the three brothers of the Yang family are competing for their father. No matter how stingy the uncle is, he is also the boss, and he still has to set an example in this, he insisted on taking his father to his side, "I am the boss, and my father must live with me." “

The second uncle thinks that the family paid for the construction of a new house, so naturally his father followed him to live in the new house, and this is an old house, so it is justifiable. The old family has a large population and can't live here, and the old man has just gotten married and has to study, so where does he live if he doesn't live here?

Dad is also arguing on the basis of reason, and he can't help anything with the family's affairs, and the house is all paid by the little sister. In the future, when he graduates and goes to work, his little sister will get married, is the house empty here?

The three brothers quarreled, and in the end, Yang Laohan was annoyed, "What are you arguing about? Lao Tzu doesn't need you to wait now, let's look at the head office, right? Every family is a year, and it is a turn!" Even if he is in the second family's house this year, when the eldest child becomes a parent next year, he will pack up his baggage and go to live in the old family for a year.

In the countryside, raising children to prevent old age is not just talking. When a daughter marries, she has a foreign surname, and according to tradition, she has no obligation to support. Of course, they need to be filial, but when it comes to providing for the elderly, it is the responsibility of their sons. When the brothers split the family, in order not to divide the responsibilities clearly, they asked the clan elders in the village to testify. It is necessary to make it clear who lives in, whose house you eat, and how to calculate the expenses of illness and funeral.

In the last life, everyone was bitter. After the father got married, the family was separated, and the uncle said that his family was in the best condition and the eldest was the boss, so he took the grandfather over. At that time, it was said that it was good, and in the future, there was no need for my father and second uncle to take care of the elderly, they just needed to provide food every year. At that time, my father couldn't fight, so he agreed. At that time, my grandfather was still a strong laborer, saying that he was a pensioner, and he helped with the work for several years. After Yang Xiaobei was born, there was no old man at home to help him, his father was studying again, and his mother suffered alone for three days and three nights.

At that time, the grandfather didn't know that the family was difficult, but he said that the eldest son would support the elderly. He is also afraid that he will help the small ones, and the big ones will have opinions, and some will be flattened when the time comes. And sometimes I really can't look at the help, and I have to look at my face when I go back. He was also old at that time, and his heart was not so high, thinking that he still had to rely on his eldest son, so he had to endure.

As a result, a few years later, Yang Xiaobei was older, and his grandfather was too old to work, so the uncle disliked it. He repented and said that he wanted to rotate the three families. Of course, the second uncle and his own family are not happy, and when you have to use it back then, you don't agree to rotate, and you are not allowed to help. Now that you want someone to serve, you regret it? How much upset have you made about it? Speaking of money, for example, this time, the uncle wants to take his grandfather to live, isn't it also seeing that everyone now has money to spare, and will give them money!

Nowadays, there are naturally no economic factors, and the uncle is just habitually trying to take advantage. The separation has been decided, and the Chinese New Year is not far away, and the family is in full swing to finalize Yang Qitai's marriage. Even if Yang Laohan's legs and feet were inconvenient, he insisted on using crutches and the matchmaker to come to the door to finalize the time.

The Yi family naturally has no opinion, when the Yang family built the house, it was inconvenient to come over to help because the two families had not yet married, but they also contributed in other aspects. The second uncle helped get two truckloads of sand and a truckload of cement, which was worth a lot. Because Yang Laohan's physical problems are more urgent, he originally wanted to get married in the middle of the year, but now he will do it in advance to the new year, although he is a little anxious, the Yi family still agrees.
