Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 79

Although it’s just the upper beam, there are quite a few sayings in it, just because the ancestors left a saying that the east head is "Qinglong seat", the west head is "White Tiger seat", and the white tiger is lower than the blue dragon, so it was slowly and smoothly pulled The raised beams gradually became so that the east end was higher than the west end.

Amidst the non-stop crackling sound of firecrackers and shouts from everyone, the main beam was slowly knocked into the tenon.At this time, Lin Baozhu was also called out, and this was the only time when the woman wanted to appear in the ceremony.

Since Zhang's family has no parents now, Zhang Lizheng, instead of his parents, throws steamed buns from bottom to top.Zhang Mantun and Lin Baozhu pulled a red quilt to catch the falling steamed buns.This means to carry on the family line, more children and more blessings.

Seeing the young couple accepting the steamed buns in tacit understanding, and none of them landed on the ground, the people next to them laughed and joked that they could have more children.At this time, Zhang Lizheng threw a few more steamed buns on the beam, but the steamed buns did not go towards Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mandun, but landed in the crowd, causing everyone to snatch them with laughter and cursing.This excitement was not really about grabbing things, but just taking advantage of the festive energy to have fun and celebrate.

By this time, the upper beam was considered completed, and Zhang Lizheng shouted: "Shangliang is safe, people and animals are prosperous, and the house is safe."The master mason who just commanded by the side threw the sugar cubes prepared in advance from the beams to the surroundings. There were not many things, but it made everyone happy to stuff them to the children around them.This move is called "Puliang", which means "money is rolling in".

"Throw beams to the east, and the sunrise in the east is full of joy; throw beams to the west, and the kylin will send children to hang double happiness; throw beams to the south, and the descendants will become champions for generations; throw beams to the north, and hoard white rice every year." Before the last firecracker was burned out, the master mason who had just sprinkled sugar smiled and said a series of festive words to Zhang Mandun, and then yelled to make everyone happy.

At this point, the beam-lifting was really over, and those craftsmen pulled up the gatehouse and shelves tightly, and started to work together with the helpers.

Zhang Mantun naturally sat down with the older generation in the village, and served snacks and tea by the way.And when Lin Baozhu was busy working on the stove, he specially called Tian Beneng and Gou Sheng to get them some candy and play with the kids jumping around.By the way, Zhao Di and Xing'er also helped lead the half-grown girls back.

Looking at the bustling courtyard, not to mention how happy Lin Baozhu was, even the elders of the Zhang family who came to the banquet couldn't help laughing.The younger generation in the family can live a good life, the happiest thing is that they are old bones, and they will have the face to see their ancestors when they go down to the ground.

Everyone over there was eating and drinking happily, and the children with innocent smiles were scrambling for candy and snacks, and the whole yard was buzzing with chatter.On the side of the stove in this room, meat dishes and stews have already been cooked.

A large bowl of steamed meat, as well as couscous, fried meatballs and vermicelli stew, all of which are ten to ten.Even for the first portion on the table between Zhang Lizheng and the elders of the Zhang family, the bowl was still hanging on its tip.

After serving the big dishes, it was followed by a mix of green vegetables and cucumbers grown at home.Speaking of which, the people who came to help were kind. Thinking of the palm-sized vegetable garden of Lin Baozhu's house, there must be no more than three or five tables of vegetarian dishes, so when everyone came, they had to pick some cucumbers and vegetables from their own fields.In this way, Lin Baozhu's urgent need was solved, and it didn't make her feel ashamed.

There are not many banquets in the village, but like Lin Baozhu's, there are big meat dishes, both hot and cold, which are indeed rare.They are all from the same village, and they are familiar with each other, but they don't have any companions.

Seeing the people eating in the courtyard, everyone was happy and smiling, and from time to time they said festive words. There were also men who were too drunk, and they would find Zhang Mandun and talk about old men with their tongues open.The women and their children sat on the mats in the house, chatting and gossiping while the food was being served, and of course guessed how much the house in the front and back yards cost.

If it was estimated that no one would have thought that one day they would gather together to eat noodles at Zhang Mantun's evil star's house, with that black face so fierce, wouldn't everyone have to see it and hide?But now, with a daughter-in-law, after all, she has changed her temper and can get along with the villagers in harmony.

"Speaking of it, I think it's better to save your life and marry a good wife. Otherwise, who would give him all these things?"

"That's not what I said, look at that bastard in my family, I have to tell a daughter-in-law to take care of it."

Their table was full of women, some worked in Zhang Ji, and some Mrs. Lu came to support Lin Baozhu because she was so grateful for Lin Baozhu.When it comes to talking, naturally they have no scruples, except for praising Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mandun, they also talked about their daughters and daughters by the way.

Just as he was talking, Lin Baozhu came over with a bowl of spicy pig, and looked at the bowl full of bright red and spicy dishes. Although many people had never eaten it, they felt like eating just by looking at it.

"Baozhu, you two are really capable. How long have you been able to build a new house? If this continues, it will be no problem to go to the town to buy a house in the future." Grandma Zhang looked at Lin Baozhu who was busy back and forth, thinking I was very happy, and even the wrinkles on my face faded a little.

"Grandma Tai is telling the truth. Baozhu is a lucky person. She has only been in our village for a long time, and her life is so prosperous. The key point is that she is kind and righteous, and she has pulled many people in our village to work." Meiying's sister-in-law said with a smile, maybe there is a lot of talking today, and the two of them are also full of joy.Their friendship with Lin Baozhu was a bit deep, apart from the employer-employee relationship, they were just friends, so they were naturally happy for her from the bottom of their hearts when they saw that Baozhu's house was getting brighter and brighter.

"Isn't that right? Now that the young couple are living well, they have a house and a mountain, and if they add a big fat boy in the coming year, then the days will be beautiful." Aunt Tian pulled her daughter-in-law Qian's hand Hands, laughed and joked together, and said to the grandma, "Grandma, I heard from the child in front that the young couple took a full load of the steamed buns just now."

When the grandma next to her heard this, the smile on her face deepened.Especially seeing Lin Baozhu put the softest piece of meat on the elbow into her bowl with her own hands, she became more and more satisfied with this foreign daughter-in-law, and praised repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy"

Lin Baozhu was naturally a little embarrassed to be teased by the table.No drinks are served on the women's table, but those herbal teas that are so sweet when they are boiled are still rare for everyone to drink.

The men outside yelled five drinks and six drinks, and they all drank happily.The women in the room were also talking funny things, and they also talked about the family's short stories.Lin Baozhu who just took her seat, although she didn't chit-chat everywhere, she would echo with a few aunts and aunts, so that others would not think that she was proud and contemptuous of others, nor would they say that she could not entertain guests with a cold face.

A meal of noodles didn't end until a long time later, but everyone had a good time, and the guests had a good time.

The people in this room who had eaten and returned from the banquet kept praising the couple for their generosity and non-aggression for several days.It’s just for the banquet, I’m willing to stew big pieces of meat, and there are a few daughter-in-laws who feel that they can’t get enough of the spicy pig’s water. very.

When Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mandun didn't know about it, the reputation of the two spread again. Compared with the so-called bought daughter-in-law and the vicious villain, who doesn't give a thumbs up when everyone mentions it now?
Of course, there were also Lin Baozhu and Lin Baozhu who didn't see eye to eye, so they didn't go, like Wang Dazhuang's daughter-in-law, she heard that the meal she had passed by had several meat dishes, and she really regretted that her intestines were green.He kept mumbling and complaining that Lin Baozhu was not a good person, and he didn't know that someone would come to call him, but Aunt Wang gave her shame.

The banquet was over, and the upper beams were completed, and the house could be regarded as a different look every day in the next few days. From the initial prototype to now, only the finishing touches are left.Seeing that it will be able to move in after a few more days of drying.

While lamenting the efficiency of the ancients in building houses, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but be amazed at the skills and wisdom of the craftsmen.Qian Shishi has only heard that the ancients built houses without nails, but now they have seen it. Even if there are no nails to connect, those corners and corners are still dingable, and they are not loose or weak at all.

Seeing that the roof on the beams was covered by large tiles, the courtyard walls around were also raised high, even the walls of the front yard and the back yard were built with blue bricks, and only a small opening was made. Lin Baozhu discussed with Zhang Mandun about buying property.

At night, Lin Baozhu used the oil lamp to calculate the expenses with her husband. Since it was a labor contract, she didn't spend too much money for materials.It's just that the cooking and banquets cost a little during the period, and the total calculation is three or four taels less than the two of them expected.

Thinking about the completion of the left and right sides, the master mason saved a lot of money by helping to arrange the blue bricks and tiles, so he just wrapped a red envelope for everyone at the end.For joy, but also for a good omen.

For his daughter-in-law's thoughts, Zhang Mantun has nothing to do with it.He had also heard before that after Anzhai, red envelopes were given to the craftsmen who did the work, so that they could do the last bit of work beautifully.

After the two discussed it, they decided to go to the town to buy some things in two days, which also gave the new house a new atmosphere.As for the belongings of the old house, they can be put into the helper's house in the backyard, which can be regarded as making the best use of them.
