Living in the countryside, what really matters is this popularity.More than half of the house in Liu Fugui's family was completed in five days, and the beams will be erected today.

Even if there are a lot of people behind their backs, they will still gossip about Liu Fugui, even if it is not yet dawn, there are still many people who come to join in the fun today.Especially some half-grown children in the village came here to beg for the lottery and have a good time.

Originally, although Liu Fugui had also prepared for the time when he was on the beam, he never thought about making a big scene.Buy some firecrackers and set them off, and that's it.

It's just that it's Master Zhu who came here to take charge of the carpentry work, so he's in charge of the beam erection.He followed the old rules, and he helped to choose this Liang, so he had to follow his rules.

Don't look at the many rules, don't be unhappy.Lao Zhu hasn't called Liang on behalf of others for many years, this is for your face.It was also because of this that Lao Zhu stayed here for an extra day.

The beam is the backbone of a house, so the day when the beam is erected is not always possible.

Otherwise, how could it be said that Comrade Zhu was giving Liu Fugui face? The factory has been calling for two days.Lao Zhu was very indifferent, and insisted on helping Liu Fugui put this beam on.

Last night, all the good guys who helped put on the beam came to Liu Fugui's house.I am very particular, this meal has to be eaten at Liu Fugui's master's house, and they have to help guard this Liang.

In fact, today's beam lifting has simplified a lot of procedures.According to Master Zhu, it is actually impossible for Liu Fugui to do this.

As a normal rule, the winner's family will go to the mountain to pick the beams by themselves with someone with a palm eye.

The standard of beam wood, high nature is the first choice.The more branches on the top, the better, implying thousands of mansions.And beside this big tree, there needs to be a small tree that grows vigorously, which means that there will be a lot of children and grandchildren.

A family cannot be without an owner, and a house cannot be without a beam.The beam in the house represents the backbone of the home.

When felling, we should also pay attention to it. The tree should not fall directly to the ground, but should be brought down slowly.After the branches are repaired, they need to be carried home directly, and they cannot be placed directly on the ground.

Or you hang it with a rope, or hang it on a "handover horse".This jiaoma is just a shelf made of wood, anyway, it just can't touch the ground.

When Liang was selected, it was chosen by the third grandfather.Fortunately, when I came back, I put it on the pile of wood, otherwise, according to Comrade Zhu's temper, I would have to choose another one if I couldn't help it.

The folk customs in Shili are different. He didn't participate in the previous matter, so this matter is just that.After all, the third grandpa lived a long time and saw a lot, so the front can follow the third grandpa's rules.

Now that Master Zhu has taken over, the rules behind have to follow his own.

He covered both ends of the repaired beam with red cloth.And it is also placed in the direction of things, with the bulk in the east.

After the big guys finished their breakfast in a hurry, Liu Fugui began to distribute red silk belts to everyone.After all, there is still a distance to carry it from home to the mountainside, and it needs to be washed away with red silk.

Also in order to get a good start, Ping An will postpone the delivery of food in Yanbei City today.If he didn't participate in such a lively event, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Master Zhu, is it almost ready?" Liu Fugui asked when he came to Master Zhu with his eyes closed.

Master Zhu took a look at the sky and nodded slightly, "Hey, I haven't dealt with such a thing for so many years, and I'm still a little excited. Let me take a while to smoke and calm down, and then I can worship the patriarch."

"Grandpa Zhu, who is the grandfather?" Lele, who was following along to join in the fun, asked curiously.

"Lele, the patriarch is Lu Ban's ancestor. I rewarded Grandpa Zhu with this meal, and let Grandpa Zhu eat it until now. No wonder grandpa didn't let you play in front of Liang, right?" Master Zhu looked at Lele and asked .

Lele thought for a while, then shook her head, "Lele can't even go up, so I need my father to hold Lele."

"Lele is such a good boy, can grandpa give Lele a very important task later?" Master Zhu asked after boasting, looking at the little guy.

The little guy nodded happily, proving that it was right to leave this matter to her.He is also an older child now, not only can help his father light the fire, but also do other things.

"Fugui, you will lead Lele to walk ahead in a while. You can't hold Lele, just walk all the way. Is it okay?" Master Zhu looked at Liu Fugui again and asked.

"It's okay, but I've never let Lele go so far." Liu Fugui frowned slightly.

"Knowing that you love your child, it's a good thing for your house, so you have to work hard." Master Zhu said with a smile.

"There is a little green snake on Lele's neck, that is the green dragon. The green dragon leads the way, and all evils avoid it. This section of the road will be safe. Your current career is just starting, even if this house is only temporary Can't be fooled."

Master Zhu has said so, even if Liu Fugui feels sorry for Lele, there is nothing he can do.And this road is only far away for him, and Xiao Lele's daily exercise is no problem walking this road.

Master Zhu extinguished his half-smoked cigarette, tied a red silk around his waist, and went outside.

The long wooden table has been placed, and before the beams are erected, there is another process, which is to worship the ancestors.

In fact, it is similar to the routine when worshiping the mountain, but this time there are more sacrifices.

They are all the tools used by Master Zhu and others for their daily work, such as planes, chisels, axes, saws, curved rulers, and ink fountains.There are also some women's red items such as combs, embroidered shoes, small mirrors, and combs.

The front ones are for worshiping Lu Ban, while the latter ones are for worshiping his daughter-in-law.They are golden partners. It is said that his wife invented those pillars when building the house.

Whether this is true or not is unclear.But his daughter-in-law is indeed an inventor, and the umbrella was made by her.

Lele is actually very curious about such things.It's just that she is also a good child, so she won't run around and make trouble with you.Now hold Liu Fugui's hand obediently and watch from the sidelines.

Master Zhu looked solemn, burned incense and kowtowed, and chanted words in his mouth.Liu Fugui didn't hear clearly what he was talking about. It should be some words of blessing and gratitude.

After all this was done, Master Zhu waved his hand, and his three apprentices led the ten people who helped to lift the beam to separate the two sides of the beam.

The work of lifting the beam was handed over to Ping An and the others, and the work of protecting the beam was done by these three apprentices of Master Zhu.
