Don't look at just the upper beam, but there are a lot of them, just because the ancestors left a saying that the east head is the "green dragon seat", the west head is the "white tiger seat", the white tiger is lower than the green dragon, so the beam wood that was slowly and smoothly pulled up gradually became the east end is higher than the west end. [Full text reading. 】

In the crackling and non-stop sound of firecrackers and the shouting of everyone, the main beam was slowly knocked into the tenon. At this time, Lin Baozhu was also called out, and it was also the only time when the woman's family had to come forward in the ceremony.

Because the Zhang family does not have a father and mother now, Zhang Li is throwing Liang steamed buns from the bottom up instead of his father. And Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu pulled a red cloth quilt and borrowed the fallen steamed buns. This means passing on the lineage and having many children.

Seeing that the little couple tacitly accepted the steamed buns, and none of them landed, a few people next to them smiled and joked that they could have more children. At this time, Zhang Lizheng threw a few more Shangliang steamed buns, and the steamed buns at this time did not rush to Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manhoard, but fell into the crowd, causing everyone to laugh and scold and grab them. This excitement is not really to grab things, but to take advantage of the festive energy to celebrate.

At this time, Shangliang was completed, and Zhang Lizheng shouted: "Shangliang is safe, people and animals are prosperous, and the house is stable". The master mason who had just commanded on the side threw the sugar cubes prepared in advance from the beam to the surroundings, not much of anything, but it also made everyone happily stuff them into the children around them. This move is called "throwing beams", which means "money rolling in".

"Throwing the beam to the east, the east sunrise is full of red; Throwing the beam to the west, the unicorn sends the son to hang double happiness; Throw the beam to the south, and the children and grandchildren will be the champions from generation to generation; Throw the beam to the north, and hoard white rice at the end of the year. Before the last firecracker burned out, the master mason who had just sprinkled sugar smiled and said a series of festive words to Zhang Manchu, and then shouted to make everyone happy.

At this point, the upper beam is really over, and the craftsmen who are working closely pull up the gatehouse and the shelves, and work together with the people who come to help.

Zhang Manchu naturally sat down with the elders in the village, and by the way, he was entertained with snacks and tea. And when Lin Baozhu was busy with the stove work, he specially called Tian bench and dog leftovers to let them take candy cubes and play with the boys jumping around. By the way, I asked Zhao Di and Xing'er to help lead the half-grown girls who came back first.

Looking at the bustling courtyard, not to mention how happy Lin Baozhu was in his heart, even the elders of the Zhang family who came to the banquet couldn't help laughing. The descendants of the family can live a good life, and the happiest thing is their old bones, and they will have the face to see their ancestors when they go down to the ground.

Over there, everyone was eating and drinking happily, and the leather children were smiling innocently and grabbing candy cubes and snacks to eat, and the whole yard was lively with the chatter. On the edge of this stove, meat dishes and stews have also come out of the pot.

A large bowl of steamed pork, as well as steamed meatballs, fried meat balls, and vermicelli stew, all of which are 10 out of 10 servings. Even the first one on the table with the elders of the Zhang family, the bowl was still hanging with a tip.

After the big dishes, they were followed by vegetables and cucumbers and other mixed vegetables grown at home. Speaking of which, the people who came to help were kind-hearted, thinking that Lin Baozhu's palm-sized vegetable garden would definitely not be able to make up three or five tables of vegetarian dishes, so everyone had to pick some cucumbers and greens from their own fields when they came. In this way, it solved Lin Baozhu's urgent need, and it didn't make her embarrassed.

There are not many banquets in the village, but there are very few meat dishes like Lin Baozhu, both hot and cold. They are all from the same village, and they are familiar with each other, but they don't have any accompanying tables.

Looking at a yard of people eating happily, they are all happy and smiling, and from time to time they are talking about festive words, and there are also men who are too drunk, and they will also find Zhang Manchu to say some old man's words with a big tongue. The women led their children to sit on the table in the house, chattering and gossiping while the food was served, and naturally they had to guess how much money the house in the front and back yards was.

If you didn't think that one day you would get together to eat noodles at the Evil Star's house, with that black face and fierce energy, wouldn't everyone have to hide when you see it? But now, with a daughter-in-law, she has changed her personality and can get along with the people in the village.

"Speaking of which, if you want me to think it's better to be full of life and marry a good daughter-in-law. Otherwise, who will give him such things? ”

"It's not like that, look at that bastard boy in my family, I have to take care of my daughter-in-law."

They are all women at this table, some of them work in Zhang Ji, and some of them are grateful to Lin Baozhu so much that they came to support the scene. Speaking of words, naturally he had no scruples, except for praising Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu, and by the way, they each talked about their daughters at home.

As he was talking, Lin Baozhu came over with a pot of spicy pig, and looked at the pot full of popular and spicy dishes, although many people have not eaten it, but just looking at it makes me feel like eating.

"Baozhu, you two are really capable, it's only been a long time since you were able to build a new house. If this continues, it will be no problem to buy a house in the town in the future. Grandma Zhang looked at Lin Baozhu, who was busy going back and forth, and was very happy, and even the folds on her face were a little lighter.

"Grandma is honest in what she said, Baozhu is a blessed person, how long has she been in our village, and her life has been so prosperous. The key is that she is also benevolent and righteous, and she drags many people in our village to work. On the side, Daju and Mei Ying's sister-in-law laughed and said, Xu is talking a lot today, and the two of them are full of joy in their hearts. They have a deep friendship with Lin Baozhu, except for the relationship between the master and the employee, they are also friends, so seeing that the Baozhu family is getting brighter and brighter, they are naturally happy for her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Isn't it, now that the little couple has a good life, they have a house and a mountain, and they will add a big fat boy in the coming year, and that day will be considered beautiful." Aunt Tian took her daughter-in-law Qian's hand, laughed and joked, and said to Grandma by the way, "Grandma, listen to the child in front of me, just now the Liang steamed bun, the little couple also took a full file." ”

When the grandmother on the side heard this, the smile on her face deepened. Especially when she saw Lin Baozhu personally sandwiching the softest piece of meat on the elbow into her bowl, she became more and more satisfied with this foreign daughter-in-law, and praised again and again: "Good boy, good child"

Lin Baozhu was teased by a table of people, so he was naturally a little embarrassed. There was no wine on the women's table, but the herbal tea that was sweet when it was boiled still made everyone drink it rarely.

The men outside shouted to push the cups and change the lamps, and they drank one by one. The women in the house also said funny things, and they also talked about the short things in the family. Lin Baozhu, who had just sat down, although she didn't interject everywhere, would also follow a few aunts and aunts to echo a few words, but she didn't let others feel that she was proud and looked down on people, and she wouldn't say that she wouldn't be entertaining with a cold face.

The meal didn't end until half an hour later, but it made everyone have a good time, and the guests were happy.

This person who has eaten the table noodles and returned has been praised for several days. Just Shangliang banquet is willing to stew big meat pieces, and a few daughters-in-law who eat spicy pork and feel unsatisfied, but also remember that dish, and also boast that the daughter-in-law is really capable, and the cooking skills are very good.

When Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu didn't know, the reputation of the two spread again, compared to the so-called bought daughter-in-law and the vicious villain, who doesn't give a thumbs up when everyone mentions it now?

Of course, there are also those who don't have the same eye as Lin Baozhu, so they didn't go, just like Wang Dazhuang's daughter-in-law, I heard that the meal that flashed by herself turned out to be several meat dishes, and her intestines were really green with regret. Even muttered and complained that Lin Baozhu was not a good one, and she didn't know that she would let people scream, but let Aunt Wang give her a faceless.

The banquet was dispersed, the upper beam was completed, and the house could be regarded as a day for the next few days, and the initial prototype was now only the end. It looks like a few more days of drying, and you can move in.

While Lin Baozhu lamented the efficiency of the ancients in building houses, he couldn't help but marvel at the skills and wisdom of craftsmen. Qian has only heard that the ancients built houses without nails, and now they can be regarded as witnessing, even if there are no nail links, those corners and corners are all fine, not loose or strong at all.

Seeing that the roof on the beam was covered by large tiles, and the courtyard walls under the four sides were also high, and even the walls with the front yard and the back yard were also built with blue bricks, and only a small door was opened, Lin Baozhu discussed with Zhang Manchu about buying household goods.

At night, Lin Baozhu used the oil lamp to calculate the expenses with his man, but because he was a contractor, he didn't use much money. It's just that it cost some money to cook and feast during the period, and in total, it was three or four taels less than the two expected.

Thinking that the project was about to be completed, the master mason saved a lot of money by helping to collect green bricks and tiles, so he simply wrapped a red envelope for everyone at the end. For the sake of celebration, but also for a good omen.

For his daughter-in-law's thoughts, Zhang Manchu has nothing to do. He had also heard before that after settling down, the craftsmen who worked had to be wrapped in red envelopes were also to let them do the last bit of work beautifully.

After the two discussed, they decided to go to the town in two days to buy some things, which also gave the new house a new atmosphere. As for the belongings of the old family, they can be put in the backyard helper's house, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.
