It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 113 Upper Beam (March [-]th)
What does this mean?Isn't the beauty happy to see him?
"Humph" Su Rui is not happy anymore, if you are not happy, I am not happy either.

For lunch, yesterday's pig offal and pig blood were made into a big pot of pig offal soup. Each of us had a big bowl with white flour steamed buns. It was a joy to eat.

After lunch, Su Changle and Su Changying set up two zero-hour stoves in the yard, and brought two large iron pots from home.

In the evening, all the relatives in the clan dragged their families with them, took tables, chairs and benches from home, and carried baskets containing their own family's bowls and chopsticks, and came to eat.

Walking into the courtyard of the new house, everyone finds an open space and arranges the tables and chairs. There is no fear if there is no open space, and the same goes for placing them outside the courtyard.

The men found familiar relatives and friends, brothers, sat down and chatted, while the women helped pass the bowls and chopsticks.

There is a custom in the ancient rural areas that everyone should bring their own bowls and chopsticks, one pair of chopsticks for each person, two bowls, one for eating by himself, and the other for serving dishes.

It just so happens that a table seats eight people and eight dishes, so eight bowls are just right.

After the woman set up her bowl and chopsticks, she also sat down with her familiar friends and chatted.

At this time, the patriarch, the village head, and the elders such as Li Jia also came. Although Su Chenrui was young, as the eldest son of the family, he still had the responsibility to greet the elders.

Hastily stepped forward, greeted them and walked towards the main table, "Patriarch, village chief, uncles, please take your seat."

At this time, Uncle Su, Uncle Su, and Su Chenming were also sitting at the main table, and the patriarch Su Zheng was standing aside, and they did not give up their seats. He saw his eyebrows knit together and looked at Old Master Su.

"Is this how you educate your children and grandchildren? Are there any rules?"

Grandpa Su's face turned pale and pale in an instant. He glared at Uncle Su and the others, and angrily said, "Is the main table for you to sit at? Why don't you get out?"

Uncle Su and the others sat down at the next table with embarrassing expressions.

When the people are full, it is time to prepare for serving the food. The person who serves the food must take the bowl of the food from the table.

There is no need to worry about picking the wrong bowl. Generally, the bowls bought by farmers are all the same size, even if the design and color are occasionally a little different.

Bowls of dishes were served, and there were two large buckets of cooked rice porridge and enough steamed buns in the yard for the clan to eat by themselves.

The dishes were served, and Mr. Su stood up. Today is an important day for Mr. Su. For the villagers, besides getting married and having children, the most important thing in life is the day when the new house is built. , although this house was not built by him, but it was built by his granddaughter, and it will be given to him by the old Su family in the future, so it is still his credit.

Looking at more than 20 tidy brick houses, Mr. Su was filled with pride. Looking at the envious eyes of the villagers, his vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Today is a good day. It is the day when the beams of my second house are erected. I will take care of the juniors first. Thank you neighbors, uncles, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, for coming to the ceremony."

"The next auspicious time has come, and now I invite everyone to watch the ceremony."

The host should prepare candies, glutinous rice balls, fruits, and a pair of Wanzi cakes, which are actually cakes filled with peanuts and sesame seeds, with a "Wan" stamp on them, and put everything into a bamboo basket. A long rope should be tied at both ends of the center beam, so that when the beam is lifted, the workers can lift the beam column up with the rope.

At the beginning of "Going Up the Beam", Su Changying set off firecrackers, Chen Cai was in the east, and Su Changle was in the west to climb up the ladder with ropes. At the same time, Chen Cai sang loudly: "Stepping on the stairs backgammon, carrying a flower basket to pick fairy peaches;

The peaches are picked in the flower basket, and the blue shirt is changed into a purple robe. "

Chen Cai and Su Changle climbed to the top of the ladder, pulled the rope to slowly lift the "middle beam" and then used big "wooden hammers" to firmly place the middle beam on the already prepared column heads, and then put the "wooden hammer" "Hung on the long base below the center beam.Chen Cai lifted the bamboo basket containing candy and other items again, grabbed the contents of the basket and threw it to the host (Su Chenrui), and sang at the same time:

"On the auspicious day of the zodiac, the happy door opens, and the eight gods send treasures;
I asked where to send this treasure, and it was delivered to the door of your mansion.

The owner's family received the first treasure, so they can't use it to buy land.

The main family received the second treasure, and the children and grandchildren were many and early.

The owner's family received three treasures, and they are well-fed and well-clothed every year.

Next, grab the candy "wooden hammer", Wanzi cake, and glutinous rice balls and throw a few pieces on the beam, and throw the rest to the crowd, singing while throwing:
"Holding wedding candy as white as frost, sprinkle the east beam on the west beam;

Sprinkle on the beam to give birth to a noble son, and sprinkle the son to the top of Liangwei.

The old man picked up Tian Fushou, and the young man picked up Tian Erlang;

Men pick up strong as an ox, women pick up race peonies. "

After sprinkling for a while, there were not many things left in the bamboo basket, and Chen Cai kept it for himself, and he also sang:
"Store the warehouse, the children and grandchildren are full, the animals are prosperous, and the rice is full;

I walked down the stairs, and the craftsmen of the master family got rich. "

Su Rui looked at the children who were having a lot of fun grabbing the fruit and snacks and laughed, because the fruits and snacks she prepared on the beam were the best. When Chen Cai threw it, the children were all very excited, and they followed and grabbed it. Just put it in the clothes, if you put it in your hand, it will be snatched away by other children.

The next step is to worship the heaven and the earth. Su Chenrui led Su Chennan and the four sisters Su Rui. He knelt down in front of the table and kowtowed three times.

Su Rui screamed in her heart, she had never kowtowed to her parents before, but now she kowtowed to these things...

At this point, the beam lifting is over, and it's time to entertain the guests.

Su Rui pushed Su Chenrui, Su Chenrui reacted, quickly picked up a teacup, and shouted to everyone.

"Grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, I am here to replace wine with tea. Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to spare time to watch my family's beam-raising ceremony. I hope you can eat and drink well."

After speaking, Su Chenrui drank the tea in the cup.

Su Zheng began to applaud, and the others applauded when they saw this, and the applause continued for a while.

"Boy Chen Rui, not bad."

Su Zheng said something to Su Changsheng in satisfaction, Su Changsheng looked back at Su Rui, thinking, "Su Rui is really a good girl."

Su Chenrui is still young, no one would toast him, so everyone toasted old man Su, "Uncle, congratulations."

"Uncle, your grandson and granddaughter are good."

All those who came to congratulate came with wine. Old Man Su held up the wine bowl with a smile, and he would not refuse anyone who came, and he would take a sip.

At this time, no one in Sujia Village had wine glasses. Everyone used thick porcelain bowls as containers for drinking, and the large thick porcelain bowls could hold half a catty of wine.

Moreover, wine is made of grain. In ancient times, when the average yield per mu was low, wine was a precious existence. Therefore, although Sujia Village had a custom of drinking heavily, no one would really persuade people to drink.

In fact, there is no need to persuade people to drink at all. One is that there are too many people today, so if you come to have a drink, the amount will be quite a lot. He ate meat and drank money, so all of a sudden, everyone drank too much.
