Chapter 38: Upstairs
It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.
People who see a lot of things in the world will naturally bring the wisdom of life, and for an old man like Mi Ye who has crossed the era, he must not think that he doesn't understand anything because he can't read.
Luo Xueyun was very impressed by the time he came back from buying a big black cow, and the master not only told him to take good care of the black cow and wait for the cattle to recover before going to work in the field, but also deliberately beat other people, don't always think about borrowing other people's cattle to plough the land, you have to save money to buy your own.
From this matter alone, Luo Xueyun concluded that the master was clear about Shangluopo's affairs, but he was usually unwilling to interfere more, as the old saying goes, the older the senior, the more you have to turn a blind eye, otherwise it will be difficult for the juniors to do it.
Now, when the master suddenly said such a sentence, I am afraid that it was not just a joke.
Luo Xueyun carefully worded and said: "Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the flow of water, people must first help themselves and then God will help them." ”
A light flashed in the cloudy old eyes of the young man, looked Luo Xueyun up and down, and said with a smile: "Ye Wa'er has grown up, is sensible, and her heart is like a mirror, so she doesn't need me to talk nonsense." ”
The next day, the day of the Wuwu month of the year of Guihai, the twenty-third day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is advisable to put up the beams and columns.
The sky was bright, the eldest sister and the second sister gathered the people who helped to come over to make rice, Luo Lao Dad and Luo Lao Niang came over with the crowd, and Luo Xueyun didn't say anything when he saw it.
Xu Quan arrived with the workers, hugging for a full meal, ready to work.
Luo Xueyun pasted the red couplet of "The Vertical Pillar Coincides with the Zodiac Day, and the Upper Beam Meets the Purple Microstar" on the rough wall of the gate.
After a burst of firecrackers, an elderly worker uncle from the whole team walked out, using a very accented dialect, as if singing and shouting, and said a prayer to the effect that all the gods blessed the peace of the creator's house and the wealth of the clouds.
After the ceremony, the tractor started to move, dragged the ropes, and lifted the prefabricated slabs more than four meters long to the roof, and the workers put the slabs into the approximate position with the help of the work.
Hurry up, it was almost noon, and the general project of capping was completed, Xu Quan was sweating profusely, and asked Luo Xueyun to take the next step.
There have been a circle of villagers around the new house, not only adults and children in Shangluopo, but also children from several small production teams in Xialuowei, Liu Wa and Litang who have come over to join in the fun at lunch.
The eldest sister handed over a wooden bucket full of steamed buns, peanuts, candy, change, and loose cigarettes, which was a square wooden bucket with a small bottom and a large mouth, with a wooden strip in the middle as a handle, and a red word of happiness on the side.
Looking at the colorful heads in the wooden bucket, both the steamed buns and peanuts are lit red, which is very festive.
Luo Xueyun took the wooden bucket, jumped lightly in three or two steps, followed the wooden frame, and rushed to the roof.
The crowd below cheered and shouted, "Look at the leaves, they are happy, jumping three feet high." ”
Handing the wooden bucket to the uncle who sang the lyrics earlier, Luo Xueyun stood steadily on the floor and exhaled.
"Thank you relatives and friends for coming to drink my Shangliang wine, my Luo Xueyun's home will stand here in the future, everyone will remember to come here, a lot of tea and candy."
Suo'er led his friends to shout: "Congratulations to the second guy!" Congratulations to the two guys! ”
The adults laughed and accomplished: "The leaves are promising, and the first brick house in Huanggang has been built, and it is very pompous." ”
Luo Xuefeng hid in the crowd, looking at this lively scene, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, that Yanba's younger brother actually did such a big thing, won the praise of relatives and neighbors, and taught him to eat like a snake bite wolf in his heart.
He, who is the eldest brother, is completely compared to his younger brother!
If it weren't for his father and mother asking him to come over, he wouldn't have been able to suffer this anger.
However, no one in the field cared about him at all, everyone's eyes were focused on the colorful heads that were about to be thrown on the roof, and the younger brother Luo Xuelei excitedly held the firecrackers, just waiting for the second brother to give an order.
"Fire!"
When the younger brother received the signal, he hurriedly went to strike the match, but he was too excited to draw it for a while, and the smoking uncle couldn't stand it, and the cigarette butt ignited the lead as soon as he handed it over, which frightened the younger brother and was shocked and angry.
"Guy, how can you rob me of my job!"
Unfortunately, his shouts were completely drowned out by the roar of firecrackers.
The carpenter uncle carried the square bucket and threw the colorful head under the house, while shouting auspicious words.
"Throw the beam first, and throw a pair of purple gold dragons; Throwing the beam to throw the east, the east sunrise is a little red, throwing the beam to throw the south, the champion from generation to generation ......"
Adults and children laughed and went to pick up the candy and steamed buns that fell down, while the elderly did not join in the excitement, standing far away, following the carpenter's singing, shouting "Joy! "As an echo, it's like a song to the mountains.
"Master, I picked up a cigarette for you."
"Good grandson, how can you do it?"
"I picked up a dime and made a fortune!"
"White rabbit toffee is delicious, you have to pick this up."
The adults sighed: "The leaves are willing, the steamed buns are steamed so cleanly, and they don't add any miscellaneous noodles." ”
"The leaves are generous, and you will be rich and rich in the future."
At the end of the beam, the relatives who brought things stayed to eat, and simply joined in the fun and left spontaneously, although Luo Xueyun did not open his mouth to drive people away, but the old rules are here, Shangliang wine is not drunk in vain, how much meat is brought to help the master's family.
However, when Luo Xueyun moved, he still had to set up wine, and at that time, the neighbors who were willing to socialize with him would prepare gift money and bring the old and the young to have a banquet openly.
And in the future, when they do things at home, Luo Xueyun will return this affection, and once they come and go, it will constitute a human relationship in the countryside and countryside.
Meimei drank a meal of Shangliang wine, relatives and friends dispersed, and the workers were busy finishing their work.
Luo Yu pinched the red paper and handed it to Luo Xueyun, on which were written the things brought by each family.
Luo Xueyun was taken aback after reading it, not too little, but too much.
The whole Shangluo Slope has a total of seven cousins in his grandfather's generation, and there are nineteen brothers in the clan in the generation of Daddy Luo Shihe.
Luo Xueyun didn't expect much from these relatives to give gifts, knowing that they were generally poor and starved twice for three days.
But today, instead of reducing the specifications and sending something a little bit of meaning, these brothers are very generous, and those who still live with their parents are not uncommon to send the same copy as their parents, but they want to list a separate column on behalf of their small family.
The five brothers in the lobby didn't say anything, and followed Luo Xueyun to make a lot of money selling vegetables, so he was stunned to cut a beautiful piece of pork and sent it over wrapped in red paper.
Other ones that don't have a deep intersection, this guy and that guy, this brother and that brother, or a basket of eggs, or a bag of brown sugar, or a bag of rice, are all gift standards of several yuan.
Luo Xueyun looked at the list and gifts, and fell into deep thought.
What the master said yesterday turned out to be not to force the palace, but to hear the wind and remind him?
The so-called courtesy must have something to ask for, either growing up with a bare ass, or watching him grow up with a bare ass, suddenly so enthusiastic, there must be a plan without asking.
Since he came to this job, he couldn't hide, so he simply took the initiative to attack and take the initiative into his own hands.
