Yang Ruoqing's new house was put on the beam the day after Yang Huamei's return.

These days, I am busy installing doors and windows, making furniture, and building pots.

The furniture in the old house, Yang Ruoqing didn't plan to ask for it.

The furniture and beds of the new house are all new.

During breakfast, Yang Ruoqing heard her father and mother discussing the matter of 'water and wine' there.

She pricked up her ears to listen.

The term "effluent" means that when a new house is built, it rains and drains the rainwater out of the house.

The banquet in which the head of the household celebrates the water is called 'water wine'.

According to the rules of this area, relatives and friends have to come to congratulate and give gifts.

Congratulatory gifts are usually in the nave, couplets, plaques and so on.

You have to give a gift money.

The amount of gift money varies from person to person, depending on the intimacy of the relationship.

Yang Huazhong said: "I roughly calculated, just the craftsmen and the small workers who helped, there was a full table. ”

"The relatives of the two families are together, and two tables have to be arranged."

"Those who have friendships in the village, I'm afraid they have to come over to congratulate, and they have to prepare two more tables."

"In this way, there are six tables of wine."

"The adults and children who help have to arrange an extra table, seven tables!"

After listening to Yang Huazhong's calculations, Sun was happy and smacked his tongue.

I'm glad I was finally able to move into a new house.

"Oh my God, seven tables, this banquet is more than the last time I was a close guest, I'm really afraid I can't handle it by myself!" Woman.

Yang Huazhong said with a smile: "Building a house and holding a banquet is a once-in-a-lifetime event, hehe, I won't tell you, I'm also a little nervous!" ”

Here, Yang Ruoqing put down her chopsticks with a smile.

"Catch the ducks on the shelves."

"Once born, second ripe, in the future, our family will hold a banquet, as long as there are more!" She said.

The couple set their eyes on Yang Ruoqing's body together.

Here, Yang Ruoqing continued: "Daddy don't worry, isn't it just a seven-table banquet, this matter is wrapped up in me." ”

In Tianxiang Building, even in the off-season, there are more than seven tables per day.

In time for the peak season, at the end of the day, there are dozens of tables of flowing water seats.

This 'water wine' at home is a piece of cake!

"Dad, is the day for us to do 'water and wine'?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Yang Huazhong thought for a while, "Not yet, I have to ask the goddess of the neighboring village?" ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "If you come and go, it is estimated that you will have to delay for several days." ”

"It's hot on this day, and there are many mosquitoes in this low, damp house. I would like to move to a new house sooner. She said.

Sun nodded repeatedly.

"I think so too, these few nights, the two boys can't sleep well."

"Open the window, the mosquitoes are all in. If you don't open it, it's so hot! "The woman said.

Yang Huazhong heard this, so he asked Yang Ruoqing: "Then Qing'er, when do you think it's appropriate to do 'water wine'?" ”

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, the day after tomorrow is a double day, it's better to hold a banquet on the day after tomorrow." ”

"Today, my father will release this news and inform relatives and friends from all walks of life."

"What about me? What am I going to do? Sun asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "My mother will go to the female relatives of our clan to say hello, and let them come to my house to help tomorrow when the sun sets." ”

"I'll go to the town today to buy the ingredients and drinks, and let them deliver them tomorrow morning!"

In the eyes of Yang Huazhong and Sun, the complicated matter of 'water wine' was arranged by Yang Ruoqing, and it was only orderly.

The two of them suddenly lost their minds, and what everyone should do was bright.

After breakfast, the family went their separate ways.

In the blink of an eye, it is the 28th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Yang Ruoqing's family did the days of 'water wine'.

In the morning, Sun discussed with Yang Ruoqing: "Today, the family held a banquet, and the relatives came, and it was lively." ”

"Why don't you let your two younger brothers take a day off?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head without hesitation.

"If you study, you have to ********, and you don't hear anything outside the window."

"If there is any other compelling reason, it is to take leave from my husband. But this is a lively thing to eat and drink, so let's not delay them. ”

When Sun heard this, he also felt reasonable.

If you study, you have to endure hardships, it's because you've softened your heart, and it's right to listen to your daughter.

In his ear, Da'an carried his schoolbag into the stove room, and just heard all the conversations between his mother and sister.

The young man raised his head and said with a serious face: "Mother, sister, I want to go to school, rain or shine!" ”

Looking at the young man's firm and clear eyes, Yang Ruoqing nodded with satisfaction.

Raised his hand and patted Da'an's shoulder: "This is like a scholar, hurry up and eat, and take my uncle's car to the town with Dajie!" ”

"Okay!"

The two siblings sat down to eat together.

Sun was on the side to give Xiao An, who was still sleeping, a face wash.

Look at the pair of children at the table.

The girl is shrewd and capable, filial and considerate.

The son is hardworking and self-motivated.

The woman was full of relief, and there was more and more hope for this day!

After breakfast, the family locked the door and went to the new house at the entrance of the village.

Walking to the entrance of the village, crossing the pond dam, in front of you, a new and magnificent courtyard stands on the side of the road.

Around, it is green farmland.

This large courtyard with blue tiles and white walls is located in the middle of the fields, and it is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

The brand-new courtyard gate, which also smells of tung oil, faces the main road.

The two courtyard doors were wide open, and on both sides of the doors, a pair of red couplets were pasted.

"Mother, why don't you move?"

Walking and walking, Yang Ruoqing found that the Sun family was left behind and did not move.

She couldn't help but turn around and ask.

Sun's eyes stared straight at the large courtyard in front of him, and the woman's usually gentle face was a little distorted with excitement at the moment.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing ask, she muttered, "I'm not dreaming, is it really our family with such a magnificent yard?" ”

Yang Ruoqing was stunned, then pursed her lips and smiled.

Poor mother-in-law, living in a low little sundries for half her life.

When I saw such a magnificent yard at this time, I was even discouraged.

She turned back and grabbed Sun's arm.

"Mother, this will be our home in the future, let's go, let's go home together!"

……

In front of the courtyard gate, Yang Ruoqing stopped.

Looking up at the couplets on both sides of the courtyard gate.

The couplet was specially inscribed by her brother Yang Yongxian in the lobby.

Living in the sunshine of the world

Home in the green mountains and green waters.

Yang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes.

At that time, when Brother Lobby learned that she had entrusted him with the glorious and arduous task of inscribed couplets, he was so excited!

Yang Ruoqing knew that he was a scholar and had a proud backbone.

Using this method to win over is to do what he likes.

It is said that Brother Lobby has been racking his brains for the past few days in order to have a good couplet.

Just last night, he sent the written courtyard gate couplet and the hall couplet to her.

Good guys, there are ten inscriptions.

She picked two of them.

"This is what your eldest brother wrote, right? How is it written? Good no good? ”
