Chapter 34 on the beam
The house of the family is in the expectation of the peach blossoms countless times, and it is finally going to be completed, and it is an auspicious day to pick a zodiac to start on the beam, which is six houses together, because the last time I wanted to invite a big pot of rice, I had to rush together to go up together, and come to Lisuo.
The village is on the beam that is to invite the whole village to eat, that lively, the day before the house was full of people, chopping vegetables, boiling meat, croquettes, peach blossoms are indispensable everywhere, where can not help, before a while someone came to report all kinds of needs, she has to arrange what to do.
There are too many things needed, take pork as an example, my grandfather thought that a big pig of more than 200 catties was not enough, and bought back half of it, less than 400 catties of meat, and the whole village of 500 people with relatives working was almost full of pork. In the words of my grandfather, if you have money, you have to use it on your face, don't use it on your buttocks, in fact, Peach Blossom prefers to have money in her pocket.
Building a house in a rural home has always been a major event in the family, even the standard in the city in the previous life, whether there is a good house or not is the basis of marriage. Whoever has money is said to be the one who bought a villa there, and the decoration is called a good one, and everyone has a few suites, and even said that the corrupt officials have embezzled dozens of suites, and then said how much money they have embezzled. The caves where primitive humans lived were the innermost and largest where the patriarchs lived. It can be seen that since humans moved down from trees and began to live on the ground, the house has always been the biggest problem. In the period of housing tension in China, having a good house means being able to get a good daughter-in-law. It's the same thing to be born again now.
On the beam, the new house is crowded with people, and the courtyard of the six regiments has not been built with a good courtyard wall, so the twelve large three-legged log frames tied with big red silk are lined up, and one is placed in every two rooms, the triangular wooden frame is made of a large and thick main beam as the base frame, and the side is a small log on the big iron nail, which is combined into a complex tripod, and the upper end of the tripod is used to support the roof rafters and bricks.
In front of each tripod stood more than 20 young and strong men, all holding thick ropes in their hands, the rope was tied to the tripod at one end, and a long wooden stick was placed at each person's feet, greeting each other, waiting for the auspicious time to come, so that the work could begin.
The courtyard of the six regiments has been covered with blue brick walls, there are two wooden ladders on each wall, some people go up from where to stand on Fangshan, Fangshan is a convex triangle on both sides of the house, there are grooves in the middle, used to put the beams of the house, everyone also has a rope in their hands, and one end is also tied to the triangular wooden frame, which is responsible for pulling upwards.
The lyrics are tied with a red belt around his waist, and a descendant bucket is dragged behind him, which makes people laugh, and Peach Blossom finds that he needs to sing lyrics for everything now, just like various emcees in his previous life.
The lyrics are about blessings, between which he sang "The sun comes out and is warm, it is the main family to build a new house, the left side of the noble son, the right side of the champion Lang, the middle of the descendants standing full of halls, the front has wealth, the back is blessed, the four sides are auspicious to get together, the nest god Niangniang stands in the center, bless the whole family is healthy." When the auspicious time comes, start - big - beam"
At one time, the firecrackers rang out, the voices of the people were boiling, all kinds of shouting were mixed, the people below first used the rope to lift up, then carried with the shoulder, and finally began to use the wooden stick to the top, and the top also pulled up with great effort, each of them had someone to coordinate the adjustment when the beam of the house rose, and after more than a quarter of an hour, the various beams were put one after another.
The singer came with a sentence of "blessing", at this time, both children and adults crowded into the house, and some people began to poke the big red silk in the middle with a sharp wooden stick, and red dates, peanuts, walnuts, and wrapped caramel began to fall from the red silk, causing everyone to scramble, and some children were mainly picking it up in the middle.
"Blessings from all sides." In the four corners of each house, people began to scatter a lot of copper plates, and adults also joined in the ranks of picking up money, and the copper plates were prepared, and each person could pick up more than ten. "The synthesizer is really willing, if you change people, you may not be able to grab it," "I heard that the lunch at noon is good, two noodles steamed buns, large meat slices, and those with a lot of meat can eat enough." "Then we've picked up a blessing today." "Li Zhengdu said that he would follow the Peach Blossom family, and we will all be blessed in the future." Everyone picked up a lot, and the more blessings the better, even the peach blossoms picked up two to play.
"Worship the nest god and keep the house peaceful." My grandfather took the lead, lined up twelve small square tables in the courtyard, each of which placed a few tributes, lit incense and candles, and led the whole family to start worshipping, each of which had to bow three times, and when the incense and candles were burned, the tributes on the table were also distributed to the children to eat.
Here the men continue to nail the rafters, lay the mats and straw, and add tiles to the top, and it will take two or three days to add the tiles.
The woman's old house began to be busy, washing dishes, carrying water, boiling water, cooking, and each family also had to bring their own tables, benches, dishes and chopsticks, all kinds of busy.
"Aunt Qin, dress so well for a blind date," "No, this is not to come to her in-laws' house, so let's pick it up." "It's really decided, I also said that I would give my nephew to Peach Buds, and you will give you the first step." "Sleep makes our two families have a good relationship, and our two families have long been like a family." "When are you going to get married?" "Don't worry, when Peach Sprout moves, it will be closer to me, and when you want to do it, when you want to do it."
Peach Blossom was really speechless, I don't know if there is such a mother-in-law, the eldest sister will be happy, "Peach Blossom, I can see you, you are really busy, and you don't invite me to sit when the new store opens, so that I am scolded by my mother all day long." Chunliu is like a little daughter-in-law who has been snubbed, "I'm so busy that my head is dizzy, and I still think about it so much, you still have to blame me, it really makes me sad." ”
"Okay, okay, where do I blame you, I was calloused in my ears by what my mother said, you let me go to the store to help, otherwise I will be scolded to death by my mother." "Your mother is willing to let you work." "Why are you reluctant, she said that the dividends in your store are high, and said that if I can learn it, our family will be able to make money like your family in the future."
"Your mother told you." "It's not a matter of me eavesdropping on what she told my brother, you can teach me, and when I learn it, she won't scold me all day long." "Our family's recipe is not allowed to be passed on, and this really can't be learned by you."
"Then my sister-in-law will," "Your sister-in-law?" "You're stupid, you're your eldest sister." "She doesn't care about it, she won't." "Then you will teach her, right, my mother said the same, in the future, my family will also open a store like this, and I will also be a shopkeeper." "Okay, I'll see it." Peach Blossom is really dead in her heart, this is not like us, everything is planned.
At noon, everyone is very full and full, there are a lot of dishes left, there is not much meat left, some people buy a big bowl of meat, eat half, leave half, go home at night to eat, the bowls are brought by each family, and the peach blossom family is not easy to say.
The courtyard of the new house is not very large, Peach Blossom looked for the sister-in-law, and the fourth aunt discussed her thoughts, "Look, the three of us want the house to be connected together, let's not build the partition courtyard wall first, and the middle household will not leave the courtyard door first, so that we can build a few simple houses out, and it will be windy and rainy in the future, and the weather will be cold, and the puppet will have a place to work." "Okay, we have few families and small children, so let's take the middle." The sister-in-law was the first to say, "I have no problem, it's all for everyone to make money," "Several of them are going to get married, and if you think about it, it's suitable for the three of us." "It's still Peach Blossom who is thoughtful, I'll tell them to go," the fourth aunt went to tell her grandfather.
"That, Peach Blossom, I just heard about it a few days ago, it's my eldest brother who is not good, when I was in the mountains, our family also benefited from your help, I married your eldest brother, the family was against it, and the eldest brother supported me, I always felt that she was good to me, but I didn't expect him to fight this idea," "The eldest brother should have been instigated by the villain, and he was not in the way." "Our family is doing well, I know it's all up to you, I used to go back to my parents' house and was ridiculed by them for the countrymen, and I was snubbed, I also complained about myself, I had nowhere to be angry, and even hated the sisters at home because of this, but now I earn more, they in turn start to want benefits, let them work and be not satisfied, it's all my fault, I shouldn't let them come." "Sister-in-law is like this, but the formula is the foundation of our family's development, if it spreads, our family will not be able to do business. I hope you understand, too. "I understand, I just feel like I can't face you." "What's so embarrassing about this, as long as our family is one heart, sooner or later it will get better and better." "I'm relieved to have your words, since I'm a member of the Xu family, I naturally have to plan for myself,"
Peach Blossom took advantage of the fact that everyone was discussing with Li Zheng to ask each family to make mahjong bamboo pieces, because she found that the Liu father and son were too slow to do, and what Lord Wei revealed this time meant that he was going to leave soon, and Peach Blossom wanted to make a batch before he left, so that he could bring it to Chang'an for sale, and he had not returned to Chang'an for so many years, I was afraid that there would be a point in every aspect, and there were too many places where money was needed, and Peach Blossom just wanted to do his best. In the future, there are many places to rely on Lord Wei.
Peach Blossom took out a few uncarved bamboo blocks for them to see, and let Liu's father and son personally teach them how to do it, Peach Blossom does not require them to be very exquisite, always have Liu's father and son to process it again, which will save a lot of trouble. A pair of mahjong bamboo blocks, peach blossoms give a hundred Wen, the average man can make a pair in a day or two, everyone listened to the explanation of Liu's father and son, they all went to buy planers, and sandpaper.
"Uncle can you find two people to carve, I urgently need a large number of mahjong now," "If it is kept secret, Tian Tou has worked with me, and the child's uncle has also worked with me, and they can all come to help." "You can find a few more carpenters, so hurry up," "The carpenter is easy to find, but there are people here, and there is no place to live," "Uncle don't worry, when they come, you and Brother Mu Shun will also move to the wasteland to live, when there are too many people, you have to go over there to work, and you will take them to work there, I will give my uncle a pair of mahjong and draw ten cents." ”
