Rushing to the ancestral house in one breath, looking at the locked wooden door, Zhang Heng suddenly realized that his grandmother had now lived in the house of the seventh master, and hurriedly ran to the front, dozens of houses of the Zhang family were scattered, some high and some low, but they could always find a way to go around to the next one.

When he ran down the path, he happened to meet his grandmother, who was not tall, less than 1.6 meters, wearing green cloth clothes all year round, and always wearing an apron in front of him, which was used to wipe sweat in summer and warm his hands in winter. With a sweat towel coiled on his head, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, his eyes have long been cloudy, and he can't even open his eyes, there are not only wrinkles and age spots on his face, and he is even more rickety at the age of ninety-five, weighing only seventy pounds, but who knows that a few years ago, grandma could still walk on the mountain road with a backpack that exceeded her weight, but now, she is really too old to do farm work, and she needs to be taken care of by her children and grandchildren!

"Zuzu!" Zhang Heng jumped off the ridge, took Zuzu into his arms in a few steps, the blood on his body was burning, intertwined with various emotions, and Zuzu would be guarded by him from now on.

"Jiu'er, quick, let Zuzu take a good look!" The elderly are more open-minded, people want to live a long life, many times it does not depend on the health of the body, but the state of mind, the mood is open-minded and optimistic, the thoughts are transparent, although there are troubles but not angry, not angry with themselves or angry with others, positive, then every day is actually a new life.

Zuzu has never read a book, but the inner world she has is the most precious, but it is a pity that she doesn't know how to teach future generations, otherwise Zhang Heng's temperament would not have become so alternative, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss. At least Zhang Heng inherited the traditional advantages of loving his family and caring for his family in the old man.

"Zuzu, I'm coming back this time to pick you up into the city. I'm going to take you into town and enjoy the blessings! Zhang Heng said excitedly, his mind couldn't calm down at all.

"Good. Did your dad come back and watch Zuzu beat him with a stick! The old man said something heavy, but his face was happy.

Zhang Heng finally came back to his senses and hurriedly called someone, "Seventh master, seventh grandmother is good, Uncle Hua is good...... "The seventh master also used to be a production captain, although he has not read, but he can read. can do arithmetic, shrewd and peaceful, plus the seventh grandmother is kind-hearted, but it is the most suitable to take care of Zuzu, and Zuzu is also willing to live with the family of the seventh master.

"Jiu'er, let's go, go to the master's house and sit down, and talk about the things in the city!" The Seventh Master greeted warmly.

Of the five grandfathers who are still alive, one can work as a carpenter. One can plough the field, one is good at weaving, the other takes the goddess as a daughter-in-law, and the seventh master can write calligraphy. To solve the small conflicts of each family, even if they have the craft to make a living, his own grandfather can weave. Use bamboo to weave baskets and carry baskets, and also tie brooms. Make some incense and sell it for money, not to mention seeing meat at once. But you can also see meat occasionally.

There are many brothers in the village, and they will generally be separated, not divided, there will be no contradictions between brothers, and there will always be friction between the big and small daughters-in-law, and there are few brothers, and the old people will generally live with the eldest son, but they love the younger son the most, but it is the daughter who loves the old man the most, and small conflicts between the left and right are indispensable, but this is the life in the village!

Zhang Heng thought for a while and replied: "Okay, I just want to nag with the Seventh Master!" "But it will be at least ten minutes before my parents come down, so I don't have to worry about it.

Immediately, Zhang Heng helped Zuzu and returned along the path, the path was less than one meter wide, the right side was against the ridge, and there was another family on the ridge, the left hand side was the bamboo forest, and the outside of the bamboo forest was the air, and it was a sloped path five or six meters down, which was going deeper down the valley, next to the trail was the farmland, the farmland used to be the hillside, the slope was the dry land, and there were people on the opposite side.

At this time, along the smooth path to go forward for a short time, you will see a small wooden door, as soon as you walk in, you will get to the street Yang (balcony), the seven old man's house is a brick house, but there is only one floor, the depth outside the hall house is relatively long, there are more than two meters wide, it is called Dabu Street Yang in Shunai Village, it is used to place the water tank, the table for eating, the stone mill and other sundries, and it is also used to pile up the pig food that is cut back every day.

In the middle of the house is the hall (living room), and there are usually doors on the left and right sides of the hall that lead to the house, but generally the whole house can only see two doors from the outside, the hall and the kitchen, and at most a pigsty.

The top is a beam, there is no waste, it can be used to hang corn cobs or something, hanging corn cobs can avoid the trouble of drying corn and yard corn, but there are still shortcomings, under normal circumstances, villagers will only choose a small part of the corn to hang up, to also count as an auspicious.

The seventh old man beckoned him into the hall, there is a thirty centimeter high threshold, there is a stone pier on both sides of the threshold, the top of this position will be stacked with tiles to release a glyph to show the righteousness, the door of the hall is a double door, the door will generally be pasted with the door god, and the door frame will hang a mirror on the top, this is a superstitious saying, because the villagers must go to the hall to welcome guests, and only this door, the cow ghost snake god will naturally appear under the mirror and dare not enter the house, in fact, it is just because the villagers can't afford to buy the gossip mirror, In the early years, when you couldn't afford to buy a mirror, you would pick up a large piece of broken glass and hang it on it.

In addition, there is a ghost painting charm under the mirror, which is sought back in the temple, but the chicken feathers on the charm are added by the villagers themselves, which is the crown hair of the rooster, which means that the rooster crows and the imp retreats, or superstition.

Across the threshold, into the eye is a paint off the square table, facing the gate, the innermost position is by the elders to sit, the left and right sides sit the middle, and the junior sits down the position near the door, the traditional old rules!

On the right hand side is a long wooden chair, there are some square benches scattered in the corner, there is a cupboard in the innermost corner of the right hand, and there is a portrait of the God of Wealth Bodhisattva pasted under the cabinet, there is a blackened porcelain basin under the portrait, there is still a remnant of money paper ash in it, and on the side of the basin is a round banana festival, which is cut from the banana tree, because it is relatively soft inside, it is most suitable for inserting incense, and it is also suitable for the occasion.

Look inside,About two meters high there is a small woodblock fixed on the wall,Guanyin Bodhisattva,Tongzi Bodhisattva, etc.,There are also red cloths,Triangle charms,The bottom wall is a little black,This is the traces left after the festival sacrifice on the left hand,There is a color TV,There is a red cloth on the color TV,No dust,It seems that the color TV is well maintained,The coffee table is generally "L"-shaped,Color TV is placed in the corner,Put some water cups on both sides,Commonly used small objects, etc.。

The walls were plastered with lime, but the floor was plastered with cement, not very smooth, but relatively clean, and an electric light was hung down on the top, just above the large square table, and the corner on the left and right sides by the door was the door, and inside was the owner's house.

The house of the seven old men is a "one" straight type, and there are also "L" or "I" shapes, such as the "I" type, the front is the hall house, and then the back of the hall house is a slip room, and the innermost is the kitchen, but no matter how it changes, the hall house is a symbol, and it is also a place where ordinary guests can really touch, the ancestral house of the Zhang family used to be quite large, but it was a mud-walled house, and then it collapsed a lot, only the hall house and a house remained, and even the kitchen was changed to the outside of the street.

After sitting down, he was a junior and didn't make tea, but boiled water is indispensable, and after talking about the conversation, Zhang Heng heard the signs, it turned out that the seventh master wanted to talk about one of his cousins, one year younger than him, he joined the army last year, and he will be discharged from the army next year.

Zhang Heng didn't go around in circles, and answered the words as soon as he opened his mouth, the reason why the seventh master is like this is mostly because he heard that his father made a lot of money, and the money he lent to his family before had been repaid in advance.

It's true that the villagers are simple, and their faces are also a hurdle that can't be spared, but they are not ambiguous in doing things, and they will fight for what they should strive for, but they also have the temperament of each family.

At this time, Zhang Heng came back to ask about the ancestors for the past two months, and the original situation was that there were five masters who came out of the grain together, and the other four masters were taking some money every year.

According to the old method, one son will support his mother for one month, and then change to another son's house the next month, and so on, but there are also places to live according to the wishes of the old mother.

"Seventh master, in the future, the ancestors will be raised by me, and you don't need to pay for the grain, and I will be responsible for the expenses after a hundred years!" Zhang Heng said directly.

Who thought that the seventh master replied: "This can't be done, if this is spread out, it will be okay, our old sons are still there, how can it not be your turn to be a great-grandson to support the old mother." ”

"It's okay, my dad now has a net worth of 10 million, and he can't eat it all in a few lifetimes, so he can afford it!" Others don't show their wealth, even to relatives and friends, but when Zhang Heng is not, he is afraid that his relatives will not come to ask for money or convenience.

As he was talking, there was a lively and noisy movement under the dam outside the house, and Zhang Heng said: "My parents have arrived, Zuzu, the seventh master, let's go down!" ”

"Cheng, the eighth big man is in Zhang Luo early in the morning, and he has already called for lunch at noon!" The seventh old man said happily, and the eighth is his own grandfather, who lives with the uncle's family.

Zhang Heng has been supporting Zuzu, although he is not as coquettish as he is by his mother's side, but he loves Zuzu more in his heart, and while walking, he can't help but say: "Zuzu, Jiu'er wants to build a building for you, and I will go to Mr. Chen to come and see the foundation in the afternoon." "This Mr. Chen is the nearby feng shui gentleman, the first to repair the house is not to invite the construction team, but to find the feng shui gentleman to see, so as not to collide with unclean things, when the new house is repaired to add to the incident, it is superstition, but it is a characteristic of the village.

"What kind of building are you building, aren't you going to enter the city?" The old man asked suspiciously.

Zhang Heng said seriously: "Even if you don't live in people, you have to repair it, if you fix it, please come back and live with your grandfather!" ”

"Okay, call Donghua back to have a look!" The old man said happily.
