Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 78

The next day was the day of the beam-raising, which was chosen by the master of the masonry class, saying that it was an auspicious day for everything.Lin Baozhu had no idea about this, as long as she didn't delay her check-in, Zhang Mandun would not refute it, after all, a day earlier is better than a day later.

Before dawn, Aunt Ma and Sister Wang rushed over to help.Earlier, Lin Baozhu was thinking of setting up a cooking team in the town, but she couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of Aunt Ma and the others, so she asked her to tell her what to do with the money, and just find a few people to help fight the pot.

Originally, Mrs. Tian was also going to follow, but later she said that it was Mrs. Qian, who seemed to be happy to see her, and she couldn't do without people around her.So in the end, Aunt Ma helped Zhang Luo to get it together. In fact, it didn't take much effort, just the few women who came to Zhang's house to work were enough.

As the old saying goes, "If the roof has beams, there is food in the house, but if the roof has no beams, the animals will not thrive."It can be seen that the upper beam is not sloppy for the peasants.So Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mandun discussed with Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma early on, and set the rules, and then notified most of the people in the village from door to door about the day of the ceremony.

But because they had to wait for the auspicious time, they happened to be busy drying up and preparing food at this moment.Just wait for a while when the time is approaching, find a few men to go to the new house to cook the stove, and then you can officially cook.

Because it was a happy event, the women who came to help all had smiles on their faces, and they never forgot to laugh and make noises when they were busy.Some people lit the fire, some squeezed steamed buns, and some cleaned up pots and bowls. After a while, two big pots of white flour steamed buns were steaming.

It was already dawn at this moment, and there were scattered men who had dealt with Zhang Ji, carrying tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.Seeing that the family was busy with work, they all smiled honestly, and then told Aunt Ma who was in charge of the pot in the yard to deliver something.

Speaking of it, it was an unwritten rule in the village. When holding a running water banquet, there must be not enough things at home. Anyone in the village who wants to help must bring something from home.On the one hand, it helps to solve the urgent need, and on the other hand, it also reflects the harmony of the villagers.

Aunt Ma looked at the piles of tables and chairs, thinking that it was almost the same, she informed Lin Baozhu, and then raised her hands to let those men carry them to the new house.By the way, he also directed people to help carry the freshly steamed steamed buns and the meat and vegetables from Yizaofang.

Seeing the half fan of pork and the baskets of vegetables and oil, many people who came to help looked straight.Be good, this family is really generous, it's so rich when you make a move.This meat can't be bought without two or three taels of silver, let alone those oils and vegetables, and the hot and fragrant big white steamed buns in my arms. .

Lin Baozhu didn't care about everyone's fiery eyes. Right now, she was busy cutting happy words with Mrs. Wang.Speaking of it, she didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until Sister-in-law Wang mentioned it just now that she realized that the red paper bought at home hadn't been cut, and the congratulatory speech to Liang Wenshu hadn't been written yet.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lu's family has a scholar who is going to take an exam, so she hurriedly invited someone to help write on the big red paper.

Speaking of congratulations, it's not for others to congratulate.But the auspicious words to be pasted under the main beam, just like Liu Jincai's dignified writing "The Taigong abdicates here, the gods will abdicate, and the beam will be auspicious", which is to save good luck.After writing, I waited a while to go to the new house, and pasted the red paper on the main beam.After that, he wrote Bu Yunqiji; Dian Jue You Ju on the cut red paper.If you erect a thousand-year-old pillar; if you erect a ten-thousand-generation beam.After this, everyone laughed and packed up food, and some people went to the new house together with water and buckets.

The new yard occupies a large area, and in order to prevent the yard from being muddy when it rains, a layer of blue bricks was laid on the ground.At this moment, people can see that it is not bright and clean. Even the corner of the courtyard wall where the pot is scrubbed is full of water, no one has stepped on it. It's very refreshing and makes people happy.

Lin Baozhu was happy in her heart, and the smile on her face naturally became more real.She didn't come to see it for a few days, but she didn't want to think that the dusty yard before had changed a lot in just over ten days. How could it make her unhappy?Thinking of how spacious and grand her home will be in the future, and that there will be a special workshop for tea making in the future, and there will even be a special place for the horses and mule carts she bought, she can't suppress the excitement and eagerness in her heart.

She is probably considered a landlady now, with mountains, land, a car and a house. If this is put into the previous life, she would be considered a wealthy family no matter what.

Don't look at her as the master's house, as soon as she entered the door and put down her things, she turned around twice by saying that she wanted to find Zhang Mandun's words.After hearing Aunt Ma yelling for Zhang Luo to cook, he hurriedly followed to join hands.

The white flour steamed buns that had been steamed before were placed in large baskets, and the baskets were covered with sorghum stalks at the end.It is to keep warm, and also to prevent it from being stolen.

And under the big pots that have just been set up next to them, firewood is burning in the open air, and there are pots full of meals and steamed rice.The remaining two pots are empty, waiting for cooking.

Today it is Aunt Ma who is carrying the stove, and not all the hard dishes in the running water mat have passed through her hands.But thinking that Lin Baozhu would always make some rare food in the past, so everyone tacitly left the pots of pigs in the water, thinking that they will deal with them later.

Naturally, Lin Baozhu would not refuse to make a large pot of pigs into the water, it was her own business, and it was not that she would not know how to do it, so she started to get busy right away.

There was a lot of work in front of the stove in this room, but there were loud shouts outside that the auspicious time had come, and it was time to put on the beam.

At this time, every family in the village, but all kind people, basically came.After all, they came here to congratulate, so even if the big guy's family is not rich, there is no reason to come empty-handed.

There are two ceremony tables in the open space in front of the yard, and there are also managers who help remember which house gave what.Although Zhang Mantun didn't walk around the village in the past, it didn't hinder the enthusiasm of the big guys at the moment.

First, since Lin Baozhu bought Bracken, many people have benefited from the Zhang family.Secondly, even those who failed to earn money with Zhang's family knew that Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu had connections, and they were all biased towards them, so naturally it would not be easy to offend them.

So the two not-so-small tables of the Eight Immortals were filled with congratulatory gifts brought by the big guys in a short while.The more particular ones are ten red eggs, and there are also cloth heads and beans or melons grown by the family.It seems that it is not worth much, but it is also the sincere wishes of the folks.

Looking at the folks, Li Zheng and Zhang's elders are all here, even the old grandpa and grandma are here, and they are sitting on the bench in the yard waiting for the beam-raising ceremony to start.And the younger generation also stood together cheerfully, waiting for a while to gain momentum.

As the pillar of the family and the head of the household, Zhang Mantun naturally stood towards the main beam of the house without hesitation.

After the master mason sang the song of going up the beam, and poured the wine from the head of the girder to the end of the girder with the jug that had been filled with wine before, he congratulated the host with a serious face.Although it was only a couple of calls, Zhang Mantun didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly issued red envelopes to the people who came to work, saying that the red envelopes were actually just one or two pennies, and they were just asking for auspiciousness.

After all the master craftsmen sang the Daoist Daji, the master mason gave up his position to Zhang Lizheng who came to support the ceremony today.He knew in his heart that this was Zhang Mandun and his wife giving him face, otherwise it would be enough for the mason to yell.Thinking of this, Zhang Lizheng became more and more alive in his heart.

He is different from others, he knows a lot of inside things, although he doesn't know how much money Zhang Mantun and his wife earn, but he can guess that the two of them will definitely not be like before.More importantly, since Lin Baozhu married Zhang Mandun, the village seems to have changed.

Not to mention that those who work with the Zhang family have more money, and they can even buy some meat and fine grains every now and then.In addition, those families who used to be orphans or widows who were worried about how to live their lives every day, also became more stable because of Zhang Ji. A few old men who can collect firewood can also sell bundles of firewood directly.

It's not a big deal, and it's not too conspicuous, but as long as you have the heart, you can see the truth of it.If Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu were not good at making a living, how could they be money-spreading boys no matter how kind-hearted they are?What's more, they were able to collect all the firewood from the old men who collected firewood for a living in the village, which shows how good their business is.

More importantly, since the Zhang family purchased Bracken, the status of those married daughters in the husband's family has also improved.Now the young people in Taoshuwan talk about daughter-in-law, but it is much easier than in previous years.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lizheng looked more and more satisfied with Zhang Mandun's expression.He knows that he doesn't have much ability to make Taoshuwan become rich with him, but if he can produce a capable family, it will be good for the village if he pulls it along.

However, he could only think about it in his heart.If other people know about this thought, maybe they will have to mutter about him.

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and as the carpenters and masons put the ropes on the beams, Zhang Lizheng cleared his throat, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, good luck, the house is peaceful and the people and animals are prosperous."

This sound can be described as loud and deafening, and the men who stood up beside him also echoed.After receiving the letter, the carpenters and masons, under the command of the master, worked hard to slowly pull up the rope wrapped around the beam to the end of the post.
