Seeing Li Zheng's unhappy look, Lin Huan'er reached out to pull him, "Let's go." ”

The upper beam is the most important part of building a house, after the beam is paved, the house will be left with some unskilled work, indicating that the house is generally completed, and a good beam can make the house not need to be repaired for many years.

When Lin Huan'er left, Zeng had already wrapped the girder with red cloth strips and put it on the offering table. Wang carpenter, bricklayer Wang Song's nephew brother came early in the morning and bowed down with incense.

When the two children came back, the beam sacrifice link had ended, and many people in the village came over and chatted around the Zeng family's beams.

"The widow Zeng is developed, buy such a good beam, tsk, this wood, this beam is straight."

"Forget about a better beam on the main house, you look at the beam of the two wings, and the preparation is not bad at all."

"You say, where did she get so much money all at once? Isn't this a month before they split up? I think I only helped her push her broken luggage across the river yesterday. It's not really the third left, is it......"

"Didn't she say that she earned it by trading with the famine escaper here? I think it's still people who take advantage of the famine, before we all bullied them as poor people in the countryside, there are too many old ladies and old people, and they have already stammered, right? Those vats. ”

"I've seen that vat, it was bought by the old man surnamed Li, and he brought it back and hired it or my ox cart, tsk, it's all sent to Widow Zeng's house?"

"Well, you say, what's in that vat?"

What is in the vat has nothing to do with these people watching the excitement, there are people guarding it.

Lin Huaer moved a small bench and sat in front of the tank with a nervous face.

Lin Huan'er was not at home, so Grandma handed over the task of watching the tank to her and did not let others approach.

The first time she was given a heavy responsibility by her grandmother, Lin Huaer had to stand up and walk around the vat every once in a while, afraid that someone would approach.

Seeing Lin Huan'er pulling a handsome little boy over, Lin Hua'er hurriedly beckoned by the tank, "Sister Huan'er, sister Huan'er." ”

Lin Huan'er turned her head, "Sister Hua'er?" What's wrong? ”

"Sister Huan'er, you can also come and see the cylinder, grandma let me watch it by myself, I'm afraid."

Lin Huan'er hesitated, and before he could answer, the carpenter Wang over there struck the gong in his hand twice, "Kaiyi-"

Lin Huan'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she pulled Li Zheng and ran into the crowd, "I'll go and have a look first, and I'll be back later." ”

"Belch, belch......"

"The upper beam and the upper beam, Lu Ban is present, the thick one is the column, the straight one is the beam, the wood is used to the fullest, and it is all useful——"

Carpenter Wang deliberately put on a robe today, his hair was combed neatly and neatly, this is the process of building a house, the carpenter's brightest moment, his voice was subdued, the tail tone rose, after shouting a sentence, he grabbed the wine jug and sprinkled a circle of wine on the ground, and bowed his head.

After putting it up, he deliberately put on his robe, turned around in a chic manner, and made three gestures towards Zeng's like singing, half singing and half reading, "Take a pot from the owner, put the phoenix mouth in front, and take the phoenix body in the back, respect Liang's head to make a song, respect Liang's tail to Wuhou, respect Liang's waist to play eight umbrellas and sit in eight sedan chairs, and children and grandchildren wear gauze hats!" ”

"Hey!" Zeng's auspicious words were complimented, and his face was full of folds with a smile, "Carpenter Wang bothered. She took out a red paper bag from her pocket and stuffed it into Carpenter Wang's hand.

Carpenter Wang weighed the weight of the paper bag, a lot of copper plates. He was overjoyed in his heart, and happily put the pot down, "This wood was born in Qinglong Mountain, growing in front of the Eight Treasure Immortal Rock, just waiting for the March 3rd, May 5th, Zhang Liang Luban, saw the axe, sawed him for a day and a night - and then wait for the March 3rd and May 5th, Longxing water, fluttering, fluttering to the front of the house!" ”

"This carpenter has a lot of words." Lin Huan'er smiled and pulled Li Zheng.

Li Zheng looked down at Xiao Douding beside him and smiled, "What do you want to eat later?" I'll grab it for you. ”

Lin Huan'er frowned, "Peanuts, red dates, sugar...... How can you grab it, no, I have to do it myself. ”

"Go to the beam—" shouted the carpenter's little apprentice as he struck the gong.

Carpenter Wang took Zeng to tie the beam of the house, and Zeng turned around and looked back, "What about Huan'er?" Is my granddaughter back? ”

"Huan'er!" "Great-widow her granddaughter." "What does it look like?" "It's just a little bit."

There was a moment of confusion in the crowd.

An aunt came out of nowhere and pushed Lin Huan'er on the back, "Isn't this here?" Come on, your milk is looking for you. ”

These words alarmed the other aunt next to her, and before Lin Huan'er could react, everyone took me by the hand and pushed Lin Huan'er to the front.

Zeng took Lin Huan'er's hand and pulled her to his side, "Let's go, tie the red rope to Liang with Grandma." ”

"This ......" Carpenter Wang hesitated, "the red rope is made by the head of the family, so that the beam can be pressed and the child can ......."

"My family is just our grandchildren, and we don't pay attention to it so much," Zeng pushed Lin Huan'er forward and stuffed her with a red rope, "There is no my little granddaughter at home, and I can't suppress Liang, my little granddaughter can do it." ”

Lin Huan'er came back to her senses from her ignorance and knew what Zeng meant, she turned her head to look at Zeng, wanting to see what expression Zeng had on his face, but Zeng was so anxious that she pushed her, "Hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time, let's each have a rope." ”

Carpenter Wang didn't bother anymore, he didn't get involved in the affairs of the main family, and explained to Lin Huan'er, "I'll tie the rope of the hanging beam, you just tie the red rope." ”

There were many discussions among the villagers behind him, some people said that Zeng's was too accustomed to children, and the boss made her so spoiled, and some people said that Zeng's was referring to the little granddaughter to support the elderly and please the little granddaughter. Anyway, some people just can't look down on other people's families, but they have to mumble a few words whenever other people's families are comfortable.

Lin Huan'er didn't take these muttering to heart, her little face was red with excitement, biting her lip to prevent herself from laughing too obviously, first tied a red rope to the main beam of the main house, and then trotted to the back to tie the wing.

"It's auspicious, Shangliang—"

As soon as these words came out, the two people who carried the beam sang together, "You go to the east and I go to the west, the children and grandchildren wear court clothes, hold the green lion in their hands, and sway to the middle beam ......"

Carpenter Wang commanded below, "Wang Wu, you slow down, Song Xiaoliu, you mention it again." Yes, you want to be peaceful, and you are safe! ”

Without Lin Huan'er's business, she got back into the crowd and walked in front of Li Zheng with a stinging look on her face, "Did you let you go to the beam when you built a house before?" ”

Li Zheng was looking in the direction of the old house, and turned around after listening to Lin Huan'er's words, "No, my yard is big, there are too many beams, I won't hold a beam ceremony, and we won't go to the construction site, just go to the grandfather himself when the foundation is laid, and just have a banquet when the stove is moved." Other times, it's the housekeeper, oh, Uncle Li is in charge. ”

Lin Huan'er suddenly felt that she was despised, she raised her head and carefully observed Li Zheng's expression, wanting to see if there was "you hillbilly" written on his face, but she saw a thoughtful expression on his face.

Li Zheng grabbed Lin Huan'er's shoulders and turned around, "How do I think of the person next to the old house, so similar to your uncle?" ”
