Teach my brother-in-law

After finishing their work on Xihonglou, Baihe and Lin Zicai returned to Xiushan Pass in Qibei Town. The two original houses had been demolished under Lin Mutou's order, and Baihe and Lin Zicai's new home had also been moved. After moving to the villa, tomorrow is the auspicious day of going to the Liang Dynasty, just as Lin Zi and Bai He came back, Qiao Tian came to visit first and told about tomorrow's affairs.

It's really better to come back early than to come back by coincidence. It's auspicious time.It's just that this auspicious time is not broad daylight, but night, which is the early hours of tonight. I don't know who is invited to calculate this time, so that he can come to the beam at night, but Bai He is not good at blaming others.

After all the craftsmen received the profits, He Ji sent them supper. After eating and drinking enough, they felt a lot more at ease. Although it is rare to see this kind of beam at night, it is not the first time I have seen it. Every now and then, I have met the beam at night. Bai He also heard that the Xiao family in Daohu was chosen to be the beam at night when it was auspicious. It didn’t take long for the Xiao family to win the exam. Xiao Xiaoshui was appointed by the emperor. .

If the Xiao family was just an accident, then why can't there be such an accident in the Lin family? Considering that the Lin family is all in charge of Bai He, a woman who is not yet 20 years old has provoked the mainstay of the family. Two hundred acres of vegetable fields, a two-story new house covering an area of ​​nearly fifty acres, and more than a dozen branches in Deqing Building, etc., the Lin family might rush up that day, so these craftsmen are not as panicked as other villagers , When it was time to eat and drink in a stable manner, after eating, everyone just went here and there to find something and went to sleep. It was very late at this ugly time, and there was no energy to do things without resting and waiting.Of course, the upper beam is the last main beam, and it can be done by two or three people, but there are still some ceremonies that need to be held, so it is estimated that the trouble will last until tomorrow morning.

Bai He picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and Brother Liu Zheng sent pig's head, chicken, three raw fish and some fruit cakes, which were used for the ceremony after going up to the beam tonight.

"Miss, I have something to tell you. Let's go into the house." Lin Zicai said with his head down. He seemed to be in a bad mood, probably because he was too tired from the journey, and he had a problem with the chosen time. If If he knows that this time is the best auspicious event, and it is a rare auspicious time in a hundred years, I don't know what he will think.People are easy to be influenced by some old things.

"Okay!" Bai He put down the work in his hands and followed Lin Zi into the room. The place where Bai He Lin Zi and his family live now is a house that was built earlier, and it is also going to be sold later.

"Miss, at this time, who will help us choose the beam. Didn't Mr. Qiao say it? You have seen someone whose house will be beamed at this time of night. Tell me, will this be a catastrophe for our Lin family or a great blessing to cool down?" " Lin Zicai was obviously a little guilty when she said this, it seems that she was still thinking about the impact of this auspicious time on her family.In Bai He's eyes, this is just a normal thing, isn't it just an hour, is it necessary to think about so many things?It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

"Master, you worry too much! Let nature take its course!" Bai He didn't know how to explain this kind of problem, besides, it's useless to say anything now, everything will take time to prove.

"My lady. I heard from Uncle Cai in Daohu that it was an auspicious time for the Xiao family to build a house more than ten years ago. It was also an auspicious night. As a result, his Xiao family, Xiao Xiaoshui, went to Beijing to become an official. We thought that our family also encountered this situation. , Does it mean that there will be things like the Xiao family in our family? I thought about it in the kitchen when I was cooking just now. How about we send the third and fourth brothers to the school in the city? Mr. knows a lot, and there are many scholars in the city, unlike our countryside, where there are many schools, do you understand me?" Lin Zicai asked cautiously, I don't know when, this family will no longer It's up to him to decide, and he has to ask Bai He about some things.

"Heads, what do you think? Who will take care of the third brother and the fourth brother when they go to the city? Can they go to a good school if they go to the city? Do you want them to be officials like Xiao Xiaoshui when they grow up?" Bai He asked back. Lin Zi blushed for a while, as if he had gone a little too far.

"Miss, we are thinking that our Lin family will be able to produce talents to honor our ancestors. Our Lin family has not had many outstanding people since the generation of the grandfather. I am sorry for the ancestors. Madam, you can say whether it will be successful or not." Lin Zi was in a hurry. , this face is also flushed.

"The head of the family, if I disagree, the third brother and the others are still young, and he is growing up. What he needs is not a good school or a good teacher to teach him, but a happy childhood. At home, we are taking care of us, we are with him, there is a warm home, there is a large group of them to play and play with friends, what will happen if he goes to the city, he will lose his childhood, he has no Family affection, no friends, no happiness, will he be happy? No, will he be motivated? No. So I think the third brother and the others should be at home. Mr. Xuetang Wen is also good at teaching, the most important thing is the school My husband can teach them the principles of life, instead of thinking about those useless things all day." Bai He said one by one, Bai He hoped that the family could give the third brother and them a happy childhood, instead of forcing them to go to the city. Because those things are far away from me and from them.

"Lady, I'm just talking, just talking." Lin Zi blushed and walked out. I don't know when he started to feel a sense of fear towards his wife. Forget it, let's listen to her. , Now her whole body has undergone tremendous changes, she is no longer the weak girl she was back then.

Bai He turned around and went to her own room. Mo'er had already gone to sleep, and this guy liked to sleep in Bai He's room more and more now. Fortunately, Bai He liked this sister-in-law very much, she was smart and lively, and Mo'er was even rarer. Getting smarter and smarter.

Five-year-old Mo'er was lying on the bed, her brows were furrowed, her expression was extremely different from his age.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want third brother and the others to go to the city, I don't want them to go." Mo'er muttered to herself, talking in her sleep again, maybe she overheard the conversation with Lin Zicai just now, Mo'er used to talk Some happy words, like "sister-in-law, I caught a little sparrow.", "Sister-in-law, the noodles you cook are delicious." But today she said in her dream not to let third brother and the others go to the city. In this dream, this sentence is like a stone knocking on Baihe's heart. No matter when and where, Mo'er, sister-in-law will make you live happily. My sister doesn't want you to be an official. As long as you are safe, my sister will be happy. enough.

Bai He gently stroked Mo'er's forehead, and Mo'er slowly stretched out her hands to hold Bai He's hand, and fell asleep comfortably.

After the rooster crowed, Bai He woke up. Seeing that Mo'er was still holding her, she felt sore. Bai He took her hand from Mo'er's hands, and the craftsmen outside had already started to move, drinking water Yes, the smokers are all ready to go to the construction site later, Yun'er is busy in the kitchen, noodles are put in the pot, Bai He goes into the kitchen to fetch water to wash his face, and then goes to the stove to help Yun'er scoop up the noodles.

There is a large wooden basin on the stove, and water is put in a wooden bucket next to it. Bai He scoops up the noodles and puts them in cold water, then pours them into the wooden basin, and then pours hot soup and gravy into the noodles from another pot. Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion on top of the white noodles, with meat foam floating on top of it, and a layer of emerald green chopped green onion on top, and pour a spoonful of chili oil on top, Bai He walks out of the stove with the wooden box, and the mother behind her There was a bamboo basket inside, and there were bowls and chopsticks in it. Lin Zicai had put the wine on the table a long time ago, and Li Zheng was sitting at the head of the inner hall at some point, with Mr. Wen next to him.The two old men drank some wine and talked about something. Both of them looked good, and looked at everyone from time to time.

The craftsmen ate noodles and drank in big bowls, Lin Zicai held a few coins in his hand, and gave them one by one, and all the craftsmen accepted them with a smile. Anyway, everyone is used to this thing. It came out, but it was night when the beams were erected in the house, and the master would accept those who were willing to work for us. Of course, the master who took the lead also said, everyone should work harder at night to make things more beautiful.

The craftsmen packed up their tools and headed towards the construction site. Lizheng and Mr. Wen finished drinking the wine in the bowl, and the two of them bowed to each other and walked out of the courtyard. Lin Zicai followed Lizheng and Wen with the ritual offerings. After the husband died, Bai He was the last one to go.

When he arrived at the construction site, Qiao Tian had already put on a few big oil lamps, but felt that they were not bright enough, so he added a few pine oil torches, and the whole work was illuminated brightly, and the table was already set up in the open space at the front. case, which is used for doing rituals and offering sacrifices.

All the craftsmen were very familiar with these things, and each found their own workstations. When the time came, Lizheng and Mr. Wen below gave an order to start the beam erection.

Lin Zicai put the offerings on the table, lit two candles and placed them on both sides. Under Mr. Wen's guidance, Lin Zicai first worshiped the heavens and the earth, and then the ancestors, before retreating to the back.Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wen came out, followed by Qiao Tian, ​​who first called someone to bring out a chicken.

At this time, the craftsmen on the scene performed their respective duties. Those who went up to the roof went up to the roof, and those who were laying hands were laying hands, and they waited for the time to come.

When all the craftsmen heard Mr. Wen below call to put up the beam, they worked harder because they drank wine and ate noodles. Two big men directly hugged a thick wooden beam towards the highest part of the roof. As soon as it was put down, today The late work was done, and all the craftsmen also wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep.

Of course, Mr. Wen had to pinch his fingers to put it down, and he had to let it go before he could really let it go. If there were no accidents, it would only take a blink of an eye.

"The auspicious time has come, let's go to the bridge!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
