CHAPTER XXXII

Doudou wanted to see the Shaolin Temple in his heart, but he couldn't see it in the end. Because Uncle Qin had something to do temporarily, he was called away by the team. So Doudou had no choice but to sulk and follow Lin Shuang as a little tail. "Sister, next time we have a chance, let's go see Shaolin Temple again!" Lin Shuangzhi doesn't mind too much, in the end, it is the nature of girls who prevails, and it is better to care about making clothes for dolls for those who fight and kill.

Time passed day by day, and the Lin family's new house changed day by day, and this day came to the day when the new house was put on the beam. According to the customs of Jiangnan, the upper beam of the new house is a very important link. Before going to the beam, Liu Xiaoying offered whole chickens, whole ducks, and whole fish. According to the old etiquette, there are three animals with pigs' heads, but most of the money at home is used in the house, so I have to use a lot of chickens and ducks instead.

Offering chickens and ducks, lighting incense and candles, and kowtowing. Doudou took Lin Shuang's hand and blended in the crowd watching the excitement, watching the Lin family's mother follow the guidance of the master, and complete the etiquette before the beam little by little. After kowtowing, the firecrackers were lit, and after the master poured the beams with wine, he instructed the little apprentices to carefully place the beams on the roof.

The girder was set, and a ladder was moved to lean on it, and the master carpenter went up the ladder step by step with the tray on his head, and while going up the ladder, his mouth was still reading: "The hand holding the gold ladder is step by step, one step high, two steps high, and the sesame seeds are blooming and high." Congratulations to the main family for a thousand years of wealth, and the children and grandchildren are full of red light......"""There is a treasure phoenix on the ground, facing the Nanmu purple gold ladder. The dragon flew and the phoenix danced the crane to the court, and the queen mother raised her hand. The main family is like Shen Wanshan, full of gold and silver treasures. ”

Lin Zhihong was not at home, so he was replaced by Liu Xiaoying and took Lin Shuang out to pick up the treasure.

This treasure is prepared before, with red thread tied up fairy building, white flour steamed buns, step cakes, copper Ruyi. The master threw it down, and Liu Xiaoying and Lin Shuang opened their aprons to receive the treasure. The more you receive, the more your family grows. So Lin Shuang's eyes widened, and he stared at the master's hand.

If you do the master's part, you can also talk about how to behave in the world. So with the cooperation of the master, Liu Xiaoying and Lin Shuang took the treasure full of aprons, and they smiled with satisfaction!

The main family has treasures, and the neighbors who come to see the excitement also have good things to pick up. Everyone crowded on the master's side and watched the master throw the beam. This time, most of them were white-flour steamed buns, Dingsheng cakes and the like. While throwing, the master sang: "Throw the beam to the east, and the sunrise in the east is a little red; threw the beam to the south and gave birth to a son to be the champion; Throw the beam to the west, and the five grains are abundant and the rice is paved on the ground; Throw the beam to the north, settle down and work to increase longevity. ”

Doudou has never seen people on the beam, and he is very happy to follow the crowd and grab the group cake with others. When the master finished throwing the beam, Doudou came to Lin Shuang sweating. "Sister, I grabbed a few pieces of the winning cake. Share your food! ”

Lin Shuang waved his hand, this Dingsheng cake was originally prepared by her family, and Doudou took the cake for her to eat. Didn't you move stones into the mountains? "No, no. My mom deliberately prepared extra when she prepared the pastries. I have a lot of them in my house. Eat it yourself! ”

Hearing Lin Shuang say this, Doudou also put away all the pastries: "I'll take it back and steam it soft for my grandparents to eat." Doudou thinks that these pastries are soft, go back and heat them up, and grandparents will definitely be able to eat them.

After the beams, the house is a day by day, today all the tiles are up, tomorrow the windows are installed, and later, the glass is installed, and then later, the cement floor is smoothed. The house is changing day by day. Liu Xiaoying's face is also becoming dark and yellow day by day. Every day after the masters left, Liu Xiaoying had to stay and clean up the day's garbage. Packed. At this time, Lin Shuang will always be silently by Liu Xiaoying's side and help to fight.

Half a month later, the house finally finished! Looking at the house with dazzling white painted walls, Liu Xiaoying couldn't stop smiling! I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, the house is here, and the furniture in the house is almost finished, as long as I and Lin Zhihong work hard and pay off the debt borrowed from the house, this life will be better!

"Shuangshuang, wait for the house to dry for two more days, and we will have a new house to live in." Liu Xiaozai took Lin Shuang to the front and back in the new house, and pointed to a room on the edge of the hall: "Shuangshuang, you will have your own room in the future." One room for one person, one queen bed for one person. Be as comfortable as you want. ”

Lin Shuang looked at the empty snow-white room, and secretly thought in his heart that a large bed should be placed against the wall, a wardrobe could be placed next to the bed, and a table should be placed in front of the window as a desk. In Lin Shuang's heart, he always felt that after these things were placed in the room, it was still empty, "Mom, my room is so big!" ”

When the mother and son saw the east room and the west room, they always felt that everything was good. Even if I look at the toilet at the back of the house, I think it's better than before. Actually, it's really better than before. In the past, the toilet was just a big pit, with horizontal bars on it, and every time Lin Shuang came to the toilet, he felt as if he would fall down. And now the new toilet, although it is still a big pit underneath, but, under Lin Shuang's strong suggestion, this big pit is blocked with a few cement slabs, and the original horizontal bar has also been changed to something similar to the Taishi chair, so that when people use it, there is a handrail to pull, so there is no need to be so worried.

Here to put the Eight Immortals table, here to put the dresser, here to enlarge the wardrobe, here to put the dining table, the mother and daughter designed the same furnishings in the house, the more they thought about it, the happier they became. Liu Xiaoying felt that her suffering in the past few months was really not in vain, although there was nothing in the house now, but people felt bright and satisfied when they stood in the house!

Two days later, the masters came to settle the bill, Liu Xiaoying took out a small notebook, and after checking them one by one, she happily settled the wages. Looking at the masters who took their wages and left, Liu Xiaoying felt that she was relaxed and not easy. The easy thing is that my house is finally up, and it is not bad, but it is not easy for my family to carry a debt for the house, and it will take two or three years to pay it off in a hurry.

Thinking of the debts on her body, Liu Xiaoying unconsciously thought of Lin Zhihong who was far away. I don't know how Lin Zhihong is now. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoying thought about going to the town in a few days to send a package to Lin Zhihong.

Originally, these jobs were all Liu Xiaoying's, but the Lin family's grandmother saw that Liu Xiaoying was busy with the work of getting up, so she helped make two pairs of shoes with mille-feuille soles. saved Liu Xiaoying a lot of effort. After the house was ready, Liu Xiaoying took the time to make two big pants for Lin Zhihong. If you're going to prepare something delicious, I'll send it over.

The newly beaten furniture still needs to be varnished, so Liu Xiaoying asked the master to put all the furniture in the room on the west side. Then the mother and daughter still slept in the same room.

It was raining on this day, Liu Xiaoying and Lin Shuang sat in the house picking edamame, preparing to fry loofah with edamame in the evening, and then serve it with tomato soup, which was a dinner. Looking at the non-stop rain outside the house, Liu Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to have a new house, if such a heavy rain is in the old house, not only will the house be dark to death, but the house will also leak rain and leak non-stop." ”

"That's for sure, the top of the stove is good, and the one we slept in leaked badly. I remember one time, the bed was half wet, and I almost had no place to sleep. Lin Shuang also thinks the new house is good. The windows of the new house are all filled with transparent glass, and the hall is very bright.
