"Mother, I'm back."

Yu Xia said with a smile, and was about to take a step forward, Yang Cuilian walked up to her quickly in advance, and patted her on the head.

"Do you know to come back?"

Yu Xia was slapped by Yang Cuilian coldly, a little dazed, and raised her eyes to see Yu Chun standing at the kitchen door looking at her smiling, and immediately cast a look at her sister for help.

"When you left, you said that you would go out for half a month, and now you tell us, what day is today?"

Yu Chun clasped his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows and asked her.

Only then did Yu Xia react to why her mother blamed herself as soon as she came up.

Yu Xia stuck out her tongue and pulled Yang Cuilian's sleeve and shook it a few times.

"Mother, I didn't mean not to come back, something happened temporarily to delay, you see, didn't I come back well?"

"I'm homesick every day outside, and what I eat doesn't smell good."

Yang Cuilian, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't hold back her sneer, and pointed her finger at the door of her head.

"It turned out to be an honest child, how can I learn like your sister now, flamboyant."

Yu Xia had an innocent expression on her face: "Mother, what are you talking about, where is the flamboyant tongue, what I said is the truth." ”

Yu Chun, who had been standing on the side, couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Yu Xia looking at her, Yu Chun rolled her eyes at Yu Xia.

"I didn't see that you didn't eat well, you haven't been at home for more than half a month, and you can still raise yourself to be fat and white, it's quite surprising, probably because the food outside is better, is there still meat?"

"It's true, your Xia girl is fat and white."

Yu Erzhu on the side was also out of harmony, stared at Yu Xia from head to toe, and said to Yang Cuilian:

"Sister-in-law, I see that your second girl looks more and more like you, much more beautiful than before, worthy of being a sister-in-law's child, with her mother, she can help the family earn a lot of money at a young age, and then learn to sew and cook a little, so you don't have to worry about family affairs in the future."

"Did you talk like that, how old is the second girl in my family, why do you need to think about family affairs so early."

Although Yang Cuilian said this, she had a smile on her face, obviously Yu Erzhu's words reached Yang Cuilian's heart.

Yu Xia smiled with a few people: "Mother, Uncle Erzhu, I'll go back to the room to put my luggage first, you can't be busy if so many people come to the house, I'll come over to help in a while." ”

Soon after Yu Xia left, Yu Dayou went to buy bricks and tiles, and found a few familiar villagers to help build a house.

Yu Dayou's family has always lived in a simple thatched house made of straw branches, such a house does not shelter from the wind on windy days, does not block the rain on rainy days, and does not keep warm in winter, Yu Dayou saw that since Yu Xia came back with a lot of silver, he immediately decided to build a new house before the cold winter came.

Yu Dayou, who had always been so poor that he couldn't afford to eat, suddenly had money to build a big house, and the news naturally spread.

There was a curious question where Yu Da got the money, and Yu Da had an honest country man, so he honestly replied that this was the reward that Yu Xia got by going to the county to help the county order work.

Guoshu Village is such a big place, and within two days, every household knows that Yu Dayou's family, the weak black girl who can't help but wind without leaving home, has the ability to make money.

That's why Yu Erzhu said that Yu Xia "helped his family earn a lot of money at a young age".

Yu Xia didn't care what others thought, and went back to the house.

Now the other houses have been demolished, only the one where Yu Xia and Yu Chun usually live is still there for the time being, and the family of five will temporarily live here until the new house is built.

Yu Xia entered the house and saw a few beds and a few wardrobes, so she filled the room to the brim.

Although it seemed crowded and even more shabby, Yu Xia felt warm in his heart.

It's nice to be in the same place as your family.

Yu Xia's house was finally repaired before the harsh winter came.

The walls of the courtyard have been replaced with green bricks, and some of them have been moved outward, and the whole courtyard has become more spacious.

Pushing open the courtyard door, you will see a small courtyard paved with stone bricks, a well dug in the courtyard, and then there is a square and neat hall, which is where the family usually meets for dinner.

On the other side of the kitchen, the stove was rebuilt, and a statue of the king of the stove was offered on it, and the pots and pans, water tanks, and rice bowls were all neatly placed in the house, full but not cluttered.

The bedrooms are all in the back row, Yu Dayou and his wife are in the middle, on the left is Yu Xian's house, and the two rooms on the right are smaller, but they are Yu Chun and Yu Xia sisters.

Yu Dayou thought that since he had rebuilt the house, he would simply build an extra room, which would save the two sisters from being crowded together.

In the middle, Yang Cuilian specially entrusted Yu Erzhu to take them to the county seat, bought cloth and quilts and other things again, and asked the carpenter to rebuild the table, bed, cabinet and other furniture, and the whole house looked new from the inside out.

Today, there are a lot of people in the new kitchen of Yu Dayou's house.

There are Yu Xia's grandmother Gao, aunt Miao, aunt Yu Xiuhe, who married to Longhe Village, and some women in the village who are good friends with Yang Cuilian.

These women are brushing pots and pots, washing vegetables, and the newly built kitchen is full of chickens, ducks, fish, fresh vegetables, melons and fruits, and other ingredients, and the expanded kitchen is crowded at this time.

And the courtyard in front of it was also full of people.

Village chief Yu Zhen, Yu Xia's grandfather Yu Debiao, uncle Yu Daquan, villagers who have been helping here these days, and many people Yu Xia has never met.

These people are all villagers of Guoshu Village.

Today, Yu Da has a new house on the beam, and he wants to feast the whole village.

The middle beam represents the tranquility of the whole house itself, and it plays the role of a long pillar of a family.

As the saying goes: "There are beams on the roof, there is grain at home, there are no beams on the roof, and the six animals are not prosperous."

Liang occupies a very important position in the hearts of the villagers of Guoshu Village, if the house does not have beams, it is not a complete house, so every time the beam is held, a grand ceremony must be held.

The upper beam ceremony is to hope that the middle beam will support the house to be strong and strong, and the house will be safe.

The courtyard was already filled with tables and stools borrowed from other people's homes, and the whole village had come here.

Four sturdy men carried a wooden beam with a gossip pattern in the middle to stand in the center of the courtyard, the two ends of the wooden beam hung red silk, the red silk drooped with a Tianshun Dynasty Tongdian, taking the meaning of "peace and shun".

The men carrying the wooden beams have a red strip of cloth tied around their waists, which plays the role of warding off evil spirits and destroying evil. Two of the four men belong to the dragon and two belong to the tiger, in response to the saying of "dragon and tiger in the position", so as to seek peace and prosperity of the family.

Today is the fifteenth, the day of the full moon, it is advisable to go to the beam.

A black-faced man stood in front of the hall, looking up at the sky, waiting for the auspicious time to come.

The auspicious day of the zodiac and the choice of the wood master in the entire Shangliang were finalized by this black-faced man, who was more famous in several neighboring villages.
