Chapter Seventy-Six: The Beams of the New House

More than half a month has passed. During this period, Xiao Peach Blossom went up the back mountain several times, hunted a wild boar and pheasants, hares a few, in addition to the number of food left for the family to improve, the rest were taken to Hongyun Building to sell, and also got nearly 2 taels of silver.

The main structure of the house was also completed in more than half a month. Soon it was time for the new house to be beamed.

When a farmer builds a new house, in addition to the groundbreaking ceremony, the beam of the new house is also a major event. Liu Dacheng's family also prepared everything for the Shangliang ceremony according to the ancestral ritual.

Tie a bunch of copper plates to new chopsticks with red cloth strips in advance.

In addition, the woman of the patriarch's family was asked to help make a large basket full of steamed buns, and each steamed bun was dotted with cinnabar with red dots that heralded good luck. Five steamed buns are placed on a plate, covered with the word "big joy" in red, and placed on the desk in the direction of the main room.

The doors of the new houses are pasted with red couplets on both sides, and the main beams of the roof ridge are tied with fragrant wood and draped with red cloth.

The time of the beam is also an auspicious day to ask someone to find a good day in advance. The patriarch and the village chief were still invited. The patriarch took Liu Dacheng's family to hold a beam sacrifice ceremony. Liu Yongqing took Liu Yongming to insert the copper plates tied to the chopsticks with red strips of cloth into the four corners of the house, indicating the prosperity of the family.

Liu Dacheng tore off the big red cloth draped on the fragrant wood of the main beam, and then the village chief said the blessing, and the entire beam ceremony was completed.

Today, as usual, the banquet for the beam ceremony was prepared in the courtyard of the patriarch's house.

Lao Liu's family was still fully present. When Xiao Taohua saw Liu Dajiang and Liu Dahe also appearing here, she still had some doubts in her heart. These two people are here today, could it be that the two of them have never left? Or did you leave and come back?

In fact, Little Peach Blossom only guessed half right.

Liu Dajiang heard that Liu Dacheng's new house was going to be built, and he rushed back from the town overnight last night. I just want to see what kind of house Liu Dacheng can build?

When I went to the new house today, I saw that it was actually a blue brick and tile house. Liu Dajiang's heart suddenly became unbalanced.

Think about the many years I have been a shopkeeper in the town, and I don't make more money than Liu Dacheng, a mud leg in this village? He can build a big brick house, and he still lives in a mud house, and he can't hold back the anger in his heart. Looking at Liu Dacheng's eyes, there was a hint of cruelty.

Sure enough, the old saying goes: jealousy makes people unrecognizable.

Liu Dahe didn't go back to the county school last time he came back. The main reason is that Li's pregnancy is very troublesome, and he is not a studious person in the first place. took advantage of the opportunity of the Li family to stay. On the surface, he wants to accompany Li, and he can still review his schoolwork at home. Secretly, it's a classmate who is hiding from the county. As for the reason, Liu Dahe was also very depressed in his heart.

Today, Liu Dacheng's family can be described as full of red light. And Lao Liu's family is all shrugging.

"Mother, you said that like Liu Taohua, why do you live in a blue brick house?" Liu Meihua stared at Liu Taohua not far away, and complained hatefully.

"Why? I picked ginseng by others. You've lived in the town, and you didn't know that ginseng was only available to noble families? I don't know what kind of shit luck this dead girl has taken to find such a precious thing. Xiao Liu also said indignantly.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you yelling at plum blossoms? That Liu Taohua was a restless person when he was in the Liu family. You may not know in the town, although I have not been married for a long time, but I watch it every day. Then Liu Taohua didn't have a day to help with work at home. Running up the back hill every day. In other people's often running around the mountains, it is not difficult to encounter new things. Speaking of this, Li also covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"What you say makes sense. It is said that the backer eats the mountain. This person is not well insured Liu Taohua has already found out, but he didn't pick it back. I got it back after I broke up. What a scheming dead girl. ”

Xiao Liu also echoed Li's words, thinking that what Li said was reasonable.

"Alright, what's the use of talking about that. If any of you can go up the mountain to find something good and come back, our family can also build a big brick house. ”

Mrs. Liu also looked at the big house of her second son's family. But the last time I went to the thatched house, I didn't get any benefits, and I let my eldest son's family be beaten by Liu Taohua's cheap girl. This scumbag has not yet found a chance to get it back, and the resentment against Liu Dacheng's family in his heart has gradually deepened with the blue brick and tiled house he saw.

When I heard the two daughters-in-law say a word to me, I didn't have a serious idea, and I was even more angry. One by one, you know that you can talk about it, and no one can get ahead in business, it's all useless things.
