Chapter 188: Midyear Festival

Lin He grew up in an orphanage in his previous life, and when he grew up, he went out to study, and he never had a midyear festival, so he didn't know that there were so many rules for this midyear festival, and she knew that she burned paper money on the midyear festival in her previous life.

However, there are too many rules at this time, there are a lot of particulars just for cooking, this cooking, there are several dishes that must be done, such as a bowl of stewed winter melon, winter melon to be cut into large pieces, and a bowl of stewed meat, fish is also to be stewed, and other vegetables are stewed, I don't know why, ask Huang, Huang also said that he doesn't know, anyway, every household does this.

After the noon dish was ready, Er Niu first took paper money and incense to worship the ancestors, and put some food and wine on the table with a bowl to say that the ancestors would eat, and after a while, they would pour out the rice to worship the ancestors, and the family began to eat. During the meal, Lin He was a little funny in his heart, saying that it was a meal for worshipping his ancestors, but in fact, in the end, it was eaten by themselves, and he didn't know what to say, but Lin He didn't dare to say it, Erniu They attached great importance to this matter.

When it was almost dark in the afternoon, Erniu went to the ancestral hall with a load of paper money and waited for Father Lin and Dajiang to come over to burn paper money together.

When I went to the ancestral hall to burn paper money, it was also a father and brother in the family who piled up paper money together and burned it together. After the paper money is burned, this mid-year festival is over. In fact, Lin He feels that the meaning of this mid-year festival is a kind of nostalgia for his ancestors, but different families also have different hopes for this festival. Rich people feel that their family's good life is the blessing of their ancestors, so that their life is getting better and better, and the poor people's family hopes that their ancestors can bless their life in the next year or the year after that, all with a kind of hope.

On the night of the Midyear Festival, Dabao was still at home, so Lin He discussed with Dabao about building a house, and Dabao was also very much in favor. said that the house at home was too narrow, and there were too many people to live in. Dabao also put forward a lot of his own opinions, Lin He felt that this Dabao has really grown a lot after these years of training, and he has matured.

Lin He told Dabao that he wanted to keep the current house. Find a place to cover it separately. Lin He actually took a fancy to a higher place not far from here, and it was the most suitable place to build a house. Lin He knew that at this time, rich people built houses on higher ground, and it would be better if there was a flood or something.

Lin He knew that the house he wanted to build at home must be bigger, and he had only heard of a big house with a few entrances and exits, but what it was, Lin He didn't have any score in his heart. Lin He's idea is to divide a large yard into several small yards, and there are so many people in their family. Each of the brothers has a small yard and their parents have a small yard. I live in a courtyard with Chen'er, and there are not too many rooms in each small courtyard, and a few houses, so that Dabao and Xiaobao will marry wives and have children in the future.

Lin He discussed his ideas with Dabao, and Dabao thought it was okay, but he was worried that it would cost a lot to build such a big house, and if the furniture was better, I was afraid that it would cost almost a thousand taels of silver, and it seemed that it was too much to build such a good house at home.

But Lin He doesn't think so, in the previous life, ordinary people worked hard for everyone, not just for a house, in traditional thinking, only with a house can you have a home, and now your own home is not bad, and the money to build a house is also there, anyway, if you want to build it, you will build a better one.

Dabao listened to Lin He's idea, although it was a little novel, but it also made sense, so he said, if you want to build it like this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, or build it quickly, and you have to buy land or something, I'm afraid it will take several months, and you will have to get it done before the New Year, and you will move when the child is born next year, and the time is just right.

After Lin He and Dabao discussed these general directions, they called Erniu to discuss the details together, Erniu heard that building a house to make it so big, spend so much money, some disagreed, but under the persuasion of Lin He and Dabao, they also let them go, so they said that he would go to the patriarch to buy land tomorrow, and then start building a house.

This time the family built a house is not better than last time, there are more people in the family, and the long-term workers will start planting wheat after two months, this time will be easier, and you can help with buying things or something.

In the following days, Erniu began to get busy, although most of the things have long work to do, but to buy land, invite people or something to do Erniu, Erniu is really busy for several days, and wait until the house is under construction, there is time to rest a little, but this is how to build a house at this time, there must be someone in the owner's family to guard over there.

This time Erniu's family built a house, Erniu went to tell his father and mother in advance, Hongxia is probably going to be born these days, and the Zhao family wants to guard it at home, so Zhao asked Dongyu to come over to help, he didn't come much, but Father Lin has been watching there since the first day of building the house.

As for the cooking in the courtyard, the Huang family has a big belly, Lin He asked her not to worry about it, every day Changgen and Father Qin will take a long-term worker to go out to sell vegetables early in the morning and come back, after buying it back, Lin He told Ziqing Ziyu what to do roughly, Ziqing Ziyu took a few little girls and began to do things, this time there were more than half of the people who came to build a house than last time, this day just cooking a lunch meal is not an easy job, fortunately, a few girls are quite capable, basically did not let Lin He do it.

Lin He doesn't want her to do the cooking at home, but she also has a lot of things to do, the family wants to build a house, and the furniture must be indispensable, Lin He is guarding the furniture at Uncle Li's side, and the home environment is good, Lin He spent some money to ask someone to get a lot of mahogany back, and planned to put a set of mahogany furniture in the hall at home.

At this time, the mahogany furniture is relatively expensive, so Lin He only put a set in the room where he usually receives guests outside, and the other houses are made of ordinary wood. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
