Chapter III: Buying Land and Building Houses

Moved to Wencheng County, the eldest son borrowed a carpenter's house. The second son borrowed to live in the house of a man who made steamed buns. The third son was still young, so he lived with Yang Feiliang and the Jia family in a deserted and dilapidated temple.

Speaking of the carpenter that Yang Ayi borrowed, he is also a craftsman, all kinds of furniture at home are made by himself, and he will also help others repair the furniture, once he had no food to eat, he cut the floor slab in half and sold it, because of this incident, it is rumored that he does not care about the family at all, so that he can't marry a wife, and has been single. Neighbors will still ask him to repair furniture if it is broken, and they will also look for him if they need to make furniture, but none of those matchmakers will help him find a wife.

The second son and his wife lived in the house of the man who made the buns, and the materials used to build the house were also placed in the front and back yards of their house, and they would often help the master's family to do some menial work as a reward for borrowing.

The third son's house is mainly managed by the Jia family, after all, the Jia family will also live with the younger son in the future.

In addition to the foundation, the most important thing to build a house is wood, and the Yang family just came to Wencheng County, and there is no mountainous land, so there will be no wood to cut nearby. Therefore, the three brothers went together to cut wood in the mountains more than 40 miles away, and they could only carry two at a time.

As the sons went to prepare building materials, Jia took his two daughters-in-law to cook and cook for the men.

In this way, the days passed, the foundation slowly took shape, and the timber took more than a month to prepare, which was enough to build six houses and build some additional furniture. All the menial work is done by themselves, and the whole family has to do it by themselves, except for the father, the other sons have to do their own work, after all, they need to have their own house, and if they don't have a house, where will they and their children live.

To build a house, you need a mud master, a carpenter master, and a lot of companions. In order to make the house firmer, the foundation was filled with a lot of stones, and it was very hard to move the stones by manpower, and it was very hard to make an ordinary house in an era that relied on manpower.

In order to build these five and a half houses, the Yang family also spent a lot of money, so much food and drink every day is a lot of expenses, and their source of income is also obtained by manpower, and there is no other feasible income.

It took nearly three months for the five-and-a-half-room house frame to be built, and an important part of the house's process was the topping of the beams. The top of the upper beam knot needs to choose a good day and a good time.

March 5, 982 in the Taikang calendar, is a good day, today is suitable for marriage, but also suitable for the bed beam, today is also Yang Feiliang and his family arrived in Wencheng County, for the first time there is a feeling of home.

Early in the morning, Jia led the daughter-in-law of the two rooms to start cleaning the front and back yards, preparing muffins, red dates, etc., which were the festive foods that needed to be distributed to the masters and neighbors after the beams.

The men have already lifted the largest beam to the highest point, a total of five, and one of Yang Akai's has built a thatched house because he has no money, and there is no need for beams, and there are five houses that need to be beamed.

As the sun slowly rises, it is almost auspicious, the men wait for the time, the women blow the muffins, prepare the meal, steam the pork, boil the water, the air is filled with bursts of white mist, and the clashing of pots and pans can be heard in the distance.

Yang Feiliang's third brother's family also came to celebrate, after all, Yang Feiliang's family really settled down.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived at nine o'clock in the morning, some people began to shout,

"When the auspicious time comes, set off firecrackers, and go up the beam",

The main beams were placed at the highest point of the house one by one, and after they were placed, they were poured with some plaster to strengthen the leakage.

As soon as the main beam was finished, the host began to distribute muffin cakes to the master, to the neighbors, and to the children. The muffins were fluffy and very tasty.

Next, start to put other wooden beams, nail wooden strips, and put tiles.

The Yang family also set up five full five tables to entertain everyone, and Yang Feiliang and his three sons also greeted everyone, one table of toasts, and one table of kind words.

After eating lunch and dinner, everyone began to disperse slowly.

The next day, the third room of the Yang family began to move their belongings to the new house and leave.

Because the eldest son got married early, there are two sons and two daughters in the family, and the two houses are just comfortable to live in, so after discussion, Yang Feiliang lived in his son Atong's house. The Jia family lived in Yang Akai's house, which was still single.

Ah Kai's house is in the middle, and the house is more spacious than the average house. As for the thatched house, it is built next to Ah Yi, and the thatched house can be used to place some objects, and you can also raise some pigs and sheep.

Today, Yang Feiyong came again, and he also brought the eldest and second sons.

After eating at noon, Yang Feiyong and his two sons, as well as Yang Feiliang and his two sons, sat in the inner hall, and each of them had some food in front of them.

"A few of us are also in charge of the third or fourth room, so I won't beat around the bush," Yang Feiyong continued.

"I should have sincerely congratulated you, you built such a good house, you can live in peace until old age, but I didn't build a good house, I know that my home is in the south, I want to go back, take my family back to Daxing. ”

"What are the plans of those three?" Yang Feiliang asked.

"Someone in the south has contacted me, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, as a member of the Daxing royal family, the eldest brother and the second brother have fallen, and there is no successor, I am now the backbone of the family, I need to take on the responsibility of the royal line, carry the flag of Daxing, and rebuild the country. Yang Feiyong said.

"Is it certain that we will restore the country? It has been almost 30 years since we left our homeland, I can't even remember what this country is like, can we go back, we haven't arrived in Daxing, we may have already died, even when we arrive in Daxingguo, and now the power is also in the hands of the Dachang Empire, will the local forces be willing to give down their interests to us?" Yang Feiliang said.

"Our Daxing orthodox royal bloodline, people from the south say that the whole Daxing is now in ruins, the people are miserable, they miss us very much, and hope that we can raise our arms and rebuild a beautiful homeland. This is the voice of our people, can I ignore it, can I ignore the life and death of the people?" Yang Feiyong said.

"Younger brother, I just want to live a good life, and I don't have the ability to govern the country, let alone restore the country, I hope the third brother will understand. Yang Feiliang said

"If you really don't want to participate, you can, and I won't force it. Yang Feiyong continued, "If I succeed in the future, you won't come to embarrass the third brother, fourth brother, right?"

"Third brother rest assured, if the third brother succeeds, I will only bless the third brother, without the permission of the third brother, I will never step into Daxing. As for today's matter, although my two sons are not angry, they will not leak out, this third brother and two nephews can rest assured. Yang Feiliang continued, "Ah Yi, Ah Tong, come and kneel down to the south, and swear not to talk about today's affairs and leak it out, if it leaks out, it will not be a good death." ”

The two literally faced south, knelt down and swore an oath, "I, Ah Yi (Ah Tong), swear that I will never leak today's affairs, otherwise I will not die a good death." ”

"Third brother, are you satisfied now?" Yang Feiliang said.

"Everyone thinks that your fourth brother is lazy and cowardly, but judging from the performance of the two nephews just now, the fourth brother is also a good godson, and the younger siblings are even more heroes among women. Yang Feiyong said, "It stands to reason that my younger brother should also cherish his family and country." ”

"The third brother praised it falsely, it's true that the younger brother usually pretends to be stupid, and it's also true that he is lazy to do it. Yang Feiliang said, "In the past, I was too lazy to work in my home country, but my father and three elder brothers all knew about it. Now that I'm old, I want to be safe. ”

"Since the fourth brother has made up his mind, let me go first, and wish the fourth brother a safe life. ”

After Yang Feiyong finished speaking, he went back with his two sons.
