Chapter 105: Moving into a new house
After seven or eight days, the Lu family's house was finally built, and the last and most critical step was ushered in, the beam.
Shangliang is a big event, and an auspicious day was specially selected.
Boss Lu went to the county seat two days in advance to buy firecrackers and came back, firecrackers are still rare in this era, quite expensive, but Nian is such a major event as moving to a new house, or I bought a lot of pain.
Lu Laoer found some copper money to come out for a while, and Zhang Song Daniel Zhang made an exception today and did not collect feathers, but helped the family.
The ladies got up early in the morning to be busy, Yu's lotus flowers were making breakfast, Qin's crushed the rice grains into powder, and steamed brown sugar rice cakes at noon.
Sun taught a group of children at home: "Today is a good day, everyone laughs at me, do you hear?" No fighting, no crying, no swearing, or I will slap my mouth when I hear it! ”
The little radish heads stood in a row and nodded very obediently.
Last night, the parents of each family explained that they must be happy today, and they can live in a new house in the future to be more and more happy.
Seeing that the children were so sensible, Sun nodded with satisfaction, and went with Old Man Lu to prepare sacrifices and incense to worship the family gods.
The Lu family's house was built magnificently, and someone came over to watch the excitement as soon as the family had breakfast.
The men invited from the village to Shangliang also arrived one after another, and He Jiuniang took the time to pour tea and entertain them.
When the auspicious time comes, it is necessary to start lifting the beams.
The girder with "Shangliang Daji, Purple Star Gaoshi" was raised by the men singing "Shangliang Song" and lifted the girder to the roof.
The firecrackers sounded, and the children covered their ears, but their faces were full of excited smiles.
After the men who carried the beams came down, a tray with copper coins and Xinglong steamed buns on the head of the bricklayer went up to the ridge, and read loudly while going up: "Hand on the gold ladder step by step, the sesame blossoms are getting high, congratulations to the master family for a thousand years of wealth, and the children and grandchildren are full of good generations!" ”
After speaking, throw the steamed buns and copper coins in the tray down, which is "throwing beams".
Adults and children rush up to pick up mascots, and those who pick them up can also have good luck.
After the event, Yu took the sacrificial brown sugar rice cake and distributed it to the children, and then the adults and children drank a bowl of sugar water.
Today, I want to feast everyone, including the Lu family, the village head, and everyone who helped build the house during this time.
There are quite a lot of people, Boss Lu and Elder Lu go to the county seat to sell fresh meat and vegetables, and the two brothers Zhang Song and Daniel Zhang accompany the guests to drink tea and chat, and the two brothers of the Zhang family are more eloquent than the two brothers of the Lu family, and there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
As a result, everyone had a meal that was more sumptuous than the New Year.
What's more, the main family is willing, there is meat, vegetables and wine, and everyone can eat with their bellies open, and they can burp until they are full.
Naturally, the house has been cleaned a long time ago, the basic wooden bed and bedding are complete, each husband and wife have a room, and the children have a room for three people.
The male wats Leizi, Jiezi, and Huzi live together, all of whom are studying, and it is convenient to learn and supervise each other when they live together.
The female baby Lotus, Youyatou, and Ting Yatou live together, and only the young dog, Shanyatou, Xiuya and Xiaoliangzi sleep with their parents.
The two embroidery girls finally settled down in the Lu family, and they didn't need to run around every morning and evening.
Several young couples have not slept together since the family began to flee the famine, they are all young people, and now life is better, and the new home has been implemented, and it is not wrong to describe it as a new marriage.
Before he could say a few whispers, there was movement in various rooms.
He Jiuniang, who still has a son to accompany her, is not a lonely widow, after putting her son to sleep, she sat at the table and began to draw the design draft, she had an idea a few days ago, but she has not started writing, mainly a room of people living together, affecting her performance.
After working for most of the night and feeling a little thirsty, she quietly took out a bottle of Coke from the space and took a sip: "Tsk, it's so cool!" ”
Since the crossing, they have lived together as a family, and there is not much private space, and many good things are not dared to be used, but now they are okay, free.
drew a lot of design drafts, He Jiuniang stretched her waist, but she was still a little sleepy, but she didn't want to get it anymore, so she opened the door and went out to breathe.
Result –
She came back very embarrassed, closed the door, whether she was sleepy or not, lay down first.
Before going to sleep, she thought that she might have to get up early tomorrow morning to make breakfast, and her sisters-in-law should not be able to get up......
Sure enough, everyone got up late on the second day, everyone who understands understands, Sun and Old Man Lu are happy all morning, and the good relationship between son and daughter-in-law is what their old people like the most.
However, he was in a good mood, but when he went out and saw that He Jiuniang was already busy in the stove room, Sun couldn't tell what it felt like.
In this big family, everyone is in pairs, and He Jiuniang is alone.
Even people who are usually afraid of cooking can be considerate of their sisters-in-law and take the initiative to cook.
Sun pursed her lips, thinking that her daughter had quietly told her two days ago that she had told the third daughter-in-law, and she suddenly felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
People are selfish, and she is naturally reluctant to let He Jiuniang really remarry.
But people's hearts are all flesh and blood, she treats He Jiuniang as her own daughter, and naturally hopes that she can live well.
As for his son, he may never see him again in this life.
Pressing the discomfort in her heart, she took the initiative to go into the stove room to help.
"Mother, it's early!"
When He Jiuniang saw her, she said hello with a smile, and then continued to busy herself.
Remembering the design of the feather suit he drew last night, he said, "I drew a few pictures last night, and everyone will look at them after dinner, and if they can do it, they will start to do it." ”
He Jiuniang is still very confident in her design, so it means to be polite, and by the way, pretend to be an X.
Sure enough, when the Sun family heard this, his heart was even more uncomfortable, when others were enjoying themselves, the third daughter-in-law was still worried about the family's business......
"Since you slept late last night, why do you get up so early?"
She opened her mouth with some distress and sat at the door of the stove to help add firewood.
"I can't get up when I can't sleep, if you want to say that this person is owed, you can sleep in the open before, but now you can't sleep when lying in a blue brick house!"
This is naturally false, but if she says it so casually, it will not arouse suspicion.
Sun Shi looked up: "You are like this too?" ”
Hearing this, Sun also had insomnia last night, so He Jiuniang followed her words and said, "Yes, it may take a few days to get used to it." ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" Sun sighed, "This condition is much better than our family used to, I always feel a little unsteady, like a dream......"
As he spoke, the doors of each room opened, and the little daughters-in-law were all red and shy.
The men are a little sluggish, after all, it's manual work, isn't it?
He Jiuniang knew at a glance that the battle was fierce last night.
Tsk, young people should pay more attention to their bodies!
As a result, everyone in the Lu family found that there were a lot of wolfberries in today's tea.
Although I don't know what this wolfberry is for, but thinking that He Jiuniang has been reading a medical book recently, this thing must be a good thing, so I even swallowed all the wolfberries with water.
