Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 105 Beam Raising Ceremony
After the empty shell of the house is completed, there is only tiling and a little finishing work left. There is no need to hire so many workers for this, and their own family members can do it, saving some wages.

The family got up early as usual.

Ye Yaodong saw that the children at the table all woke up so early at the same time and were eating breakfast neatly, he joked, "Today seems to be September 9st, school is about to start, right? Your good days are over."

The two children, who are only in the first grade this year, said happily, "We have long wanted to go to school."

"Wait for you to go there for a few days, and you don't want to go!"

"why?"

"Because there is a lot of homework to do every day, Brother Ah Hai is still copying books in the room at the moment. I have never seen him so diligent. Only today can I see him getting up early in the morning and cramming."

"Hahaha, I said why I heard my aunt scolding while I was in a daze early in the morning."

"Fortunately, I finished last night..."

Several children laughed at Ye Chenghai in a hurry.

Mother Ye also murmured: "If you are not busy in the morning, you will be flustered at night, and you will get up in the middle of the night to mend your crotch, and there will be no one who can read."

At this time, the Lord also came out of the house with big dark circles under his eyes, and a sluggish army green satchel embroidered with five-pointed stars.

"Hey, have you finished your summer homework? It's okay if you don't write. You don't need to sign up. You can go to the mountain to herd sheep. It's so comfortable to herd sheep. You can run around all over the mountain without doing homework. The mountain is full of peach trees and plum trees. Loquat tree, orange tree, grapefruit tree, hahaha~"

Ye Chenghai was yearning for it when he heard it, but he could only sigh, "I also want to herd sheep, but my mother refuses."

Mother Ye gave Ye Yaodong a white look, "What nonsense? You didn't know how to study, and you are still here to hook him to herd the sheep, and he doesn't want to go, anyway, you have to study for another two years, finish the fifth grade, and read all the words." gone."

Mrs. Ye also slapped Ye Chenghai on the head, "Hurry up and have breakfast for me, and take your homework to sign up after eating, I still have a lot of work to do, if you give me a hard time, you will beat me up."

"Understood." Ye Chenghai replied weakly, and went to have breakfast honestly.

Ye Yaodong laughed loudly, but before he finished laughing, he heard his eldest son say: "Father, I'm going to herd the sheep too, don't study!"

His laughter suddenly stopped, "Fuck, let your sister go, the good ones don't study all day long, and the bad ones, reading is the kingly way..."

"You said just now that it's good to herd sheep, and besides, I don't have a younger sister!"

"I'll just say it casually. Being illiterate is hard. If you don't know how to read, you have to know all the words..."

Lifting a rock and shooting himself in the foot is what he is doing now.

Lin Xiuqing patted him twice, "It's better not to talk nonsense, so as not to spoil the child, go and eat your meal."

Ye Yaodong felt that he was in the wrong. These kids really knew how to go up and down the mountain and play in the sea, and they took a few casual words seriously.

After breakfast, Sister-in-law Ye and Second-sister-in-law Ye seemed to be chasing ducks, cursing behind and taking a group of children to the school to sign up, leaving only the two youngest members of Ye Yaodong's family sitting on the threshold and watching.

The other adults also have to go to the new house to clean up the aftermath.

Ye Yaodong planned to open a vegetable field by the back door of the new house, so that the couple could grow vegetables conveniently. He also wanted to go to the mountain to cut some bamboos, build a fence to raise chickens, and so on. Of course, the home should look like a home.

Ye Yaopeng saw him digging wasteland with a hoe, and after asking why, he also followed his example.

Vegetables must be grown, otherwise what would they eat?
After the ground was almost opened, Ye Yaodong put the remaining loess in a dustpan and poured it into the vegetable field. He went home later to fill up the ashes in the stove, sprinkled it in and mixed it to increase some nutrition, and then he could grow vegetables. There is not much nutrition, and the vegetables will not grow big.

And it is necessary to pour a little manure water and fertilize according to the situation, but this is still early...

Lin Xiuqing was also full of hope for the new home, cleaned everything inside and out, and followed Ye Yaodong to tidy up the vegetable field and sprinkle some vegetable seeds.

On the day of raising the beam, all the men of the Ye family were dressed neatly and went to the new house full of energy. Women were not allowed to go there.

In rural areas, it is believed that women are yin, which will bring bad luck to the new house, so even though this day is very lively, the women in the family did not participate in the beam-raising ceremony, but helped prepare the meals for the banquet at home.

The workers who build the house will also come to help on this day. They will be the first to paste happy characters in the house, hang red silk, and paste couplets written in red paper on the beams and gates.

On the beams of the house, it is generally posted that "the green dragon supports the jade pillar, and the white tiger supports the golden beam."

The horizontal batch is "Shangliang Daji".

Then an incense table was set up in front of the main entrance, and the fruits bought by Ye's mother in advance were placed on the table. The three brothers Ye Yaodong respectfully burned incense and kowtowed.

Then, after setting off the firecrackers, it was almost time before the beam raising officially started.

People on the beach need to do it at high tide, which means that money is coming in like a tide. It would be better if the moon is full, which means family reunion.

When the ceremony started, many villagers gathered around their new house to watch the excitement, which is rare in rural areas, and everyone came after hearing the news.

The upper beam is also called the rising beam.

Because when the beam is raised, the people above need to throw four strong red silk materials from the top, and then the people below will distribute it at both ends of the beam. The red silk hangs down a Qing Shunzhi copper tin, which means "peace and harmony". Then go up from the head beam in sequence to the order on the second beam.

The carpenter also sang poems while standing on the shelf, and the people standing below had to follow suit.

After the entire beam frame is installed, purlins are placed on the forks, and rafters are nailed on the purlins.

As a memorial, the rafter nailed to the middle of the house is specially made.Carpenters use a plane to level the side of the round rafters, and they need someone to write the date of construction, the name of the owner and the craftsman with a brush.

For example, Ye Yaodong's house: On September [-], [-], Ye Yaodong built a house with Li Si, a carpenter, and Wang Wu, a bricklayer.

After the beam is raised, it is time to throw the beam. The carpenter on the beam will stand beside the beam and throw peanuts, candies, and glutinous rice cakes onto the beam while singing poems. Everyone rushes to pick it up for a good start.

After the end, firecrackers will be set off, and the workers who built the house will be entertained. The Ye family has set up two tables, and after the end, they will be entertained with good cigarettes, wine and food, and celebrate the completion of the house together.

There is another thing to pay attention to here, that is, bricklayers are still needed to continue laying tiles. If they are not treated well, if they are irresponsible or deliberately make trouble, the house will leak when it rains after the house is built, and it will be very troublesome to repair.

The sense of ritual of raising the beam in this era is particularly heavy, unlike in the future, it is becoming more and more simplified.

After having a hearty lunch at noon, Mother Ye gave another red envelope to the carpenter who put up the beam and the worker who helped to lift the beam, and it was considered complete.

Then just lay the tiles, and it's time to move.

Building a house is tiring, and finally the big task is almost over, and the whole Ye family heaves a sigh of relief.

Mother Ye smiled and said: "Moving on the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, you should go back to your mother's house in advance and let your parents and brothers come over to have fun on the day of the moving."

The three daughter-in-laws all smiled and agreed.

After getting on the beam, Ye Yaodong didn't go out to sea with Ye's father. He had to work on his own boat. During this time, he made more than a dozen cages.

He put them on the sea one after another, and there are already 3 rows. He collects them every one or two days. I don’t know if he is lucky. He will explode a few nets every time. It can be sold for 5-6 yuan, and when it is more, it can be sold for 7-8 yuan.

You know, at that time, he was only less than 3 rows of ground cages, and he was already on top of others' 5.6 rows of goods, sometimes more.

It's a pity that there are still too few ground cages. If there are more, he can also collect more goods. If there is more free time, they should be able to do more.

Since his father bought the boat, Ah Guang has been going out early and late to trawl the sea every day, and the few of his friends haven't gathered together for a long time to drink and chat.

It happened that Ye Yaodong had finished his work and was not too busy during the day, so he saved some seafood in his cage, so he took it to Ah Guang's house, and called a few friends along the way.

During this period of time, everyone was busy, and no one cared about the angry Awei and the mouse. He thought that after so many days, it should be almost the same, so why not call everyone to have a chat, and let the matter pass.

Unexpectedly, when he went to Awei's house, he still turned pale.

"Heh~ What kind of wind brought our Brother Dong here. You are a busy man who is either building a new house or going to sea to make money. You actually come to me when you have time."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, and said helplessly: "Everyone is a bit busy these days, I saved some seafood, let's go to Ah Guang's for a drink or two and chat?"

"No, it's fine for you to chat. I'm not capable, so I can only listen to your bragging when I go."

As he was about to enter the house, Ye Yaodong couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, it's just a trivial matter. As for it, didn't you just say it in advance?"

"If you really treat me and Mouse as brothers, you won't miss us. Anyway, we don't talk much, and we've always been very transparent. It's normal to be ignored, so play your own game."

Grass mud horse!

Ye Yaodong cursed in his heart, then turned around and left, he's used to him!Whoever leaves can't survive, right?

He was too lazy to put a hot face on someone's cold ass, he just felt that it was a pity that brothers who had been brothers for many years suddenly parted ways because of a little misunderstanding.

Thinking of that classic sentence, I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am afraid that my brother will drive Lu Rover!

Brother's life is better than his death, right?

After leaving Awei's house, he didn't bother to go to the mouse's house anymore, they were always on good terms, and at that time they were venting their anger through the same nostril.

He didn't feel sorry for them in any way, it was their mentality problem, don't care about them.

I hurriedly went to Ah Guang's house again, and the others were already there. Everyone saw him coming alone, and there was no one behind him, so they couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say to call Ah Wei and the mouse? They won't come?"

"Awei gave me a bad face, and said sour words, saying that he is not capable of anything, and that he is playing his own... shit, I don't bother to care about him, and I have a mentality problem. After I came out of his house, I didn't bother. Go to the mouse's house, I don't want to hear sarcastic remarks"

Ah Guang shrugged, "Forget it, let's ignore them for now, there's no need to put a hot face on a cold butt."

Xiao Xiao: "He has to figure it out by himself."

The fat man was cooking and shook his head, "Oh, it's all about money."

Ah Zheng said confidently, "What's the matter with us earning our own money? How does it feel to care about him? Where does it make sense!"

"Forget it, don't mention it, let's take care of our own food and drink. How is Ah Guang trawling the net recently?" Ye Yaodong sat at the table, with one foot on the stool, and picked up a shrimp mushroom and peeled it.

"It's still called Ah Guang, shouldn't it be called Ah Shun? Hahahaha~"

"It's time to change your mouth!"

"Then why don't you let him pay for a change of mouth?"

"Go, go, Mao's account change fee. I thought the new wife would serve tea. You can call it whatever you like. Anyway, just change it in the household registration book."

Seeing that they were going awry again, Ye Yaodong hurriedly pulled them back again, "How are you doing recently? Ah Guang and his father went out to sea, and you two will work on the boat? Then how do you pay for it?"

"I transferred the share of the small boat to them. When they sell the goods and save enough money, they will give it to me. Anyway, such a small boat can't use three people. It's just right for me to trawl with my father."

Xiao Xiao also nodded, "Yes, after Ah Guang got out of the game recently, we have a lot more goods on the net."

Ah Guang looked at him contemptuously, "We also have a lot of trawl nets!"

"Is it possible that you changed your name, so you don't leak money?"

"Hmph, even eating can't stop your mouth!"

"Anyway, come and help with the fire. One or two of them sat there and ate." The fat man swung the spatula and wanted to hit their faces. This group of shameless people called him over to cook, but when they came Just sit down and eat, where he cooks for half a day.

"You go……"

"You go……"

Four people pushed back and forth, who would like to sit in front of the stove and light a fire on a hot day, and in the end they could only cut hair and stone cloth together.

Three rocks, Ah Guang and one pair of scissors, so he can only accept the failure and obediently go to light the fire.

Sitting in front of the stove, he said positively, "Dongzi, when will you move? Let me know when the time comes. We will carry your bed and move your furniture."

"Are you free? I'll just call them then, you don't have to come."

"You said in advance that I must be free. How could I not be free for such a big matter as moving!"

Others are winking~

Ah Zheng smirked and said, "Dongzi, I heard that someone told your sister about someone from Xishan Village."

"What?" Ah Guang's eyes widened in shock, "Why didn't I know when it happened?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him, "That's what happened."

Xiaoxiao smiled and asked in a good way: "Have you seen each other? When will you get married? If you need help, please tell us."

"Looked at it today, I don't know what to do, and I don't worry about it."

Ah Guang suddenly felt a little restless, and they all looked at each other!
"That young boy doesn't look too bad, the short one is not as tall as our Ah Guang."

Ah Guang straightened his waist in an instant!
"Ah Guang isn't that tall, 175 is the most."

Ah Guang: Grass, I want to kill him with my eyes!

"Enough, do you think everyone can grow up to be as big and tall as you?"

"That's true!" This is also Ye Yaodong's pride.

They are generally short in the south, and they lack nutrition in this era. Everyone is not tall, and someone like Ah Guang who can have a height of 175 is considered tall.

After everyone reminded Ah Guang in disguise, they started bragging again.

"We have been working on this small boat for a few years, when the time comes, let's work together to build a bigger boat. The small boat has no head."

"It depends on the situation. Earn the money you can earn first, and don't think it's too little."

"A few days ago on the first day of the new year, it's a pity that Qifeng missed it, otherwise we could go to the isolated island again."

"I heard that there may be another typhoon in two days."

"The typhoon is the typhoon. It's just a few days of rest. We haven't had a few typhoons in a year. Just get used to it. Remember to take the boat to the safe haven."
