Chapter 2 New House Banquet
Happy man, I closed my eyes in the least crowded place. I thought I saw the future, but I saw more of the ending.
The Grand Duke invited new workers, and these workers seemed to have heard about the foundation of our house. They all looked like frost and eggplant, and they were wilted when laying bricks. But in order to make them work, the Grand Duke paid twice the price. As the saying goes, people died of money and birds died of food. If you have money, you will be willing to make money as long as you don’t lose your life.
There is something to be done in the fish pond, so my grandparents went to the fish pond to manage the business. My father had a fever because of yesterday's incident and did not dare to come to the construction site again. In fact, he said he wanted to go to the fish pond, but he was just scared by the previous things, afraid that he would stay there and see things that he could not see, and he would not even dare to live in that house in the future.
So there are only grandparents who are guarding the construction site.
The days actually passed very quickly, and the construction period was not as long as I thought. In order to avoid the recurrence of messy things, the grandfather invited double the number of people to build the house. The construction period for several months was shortened to more than a month. Since the ghost fire incident, nothing strange happened, and the house was successfully completed. The worried workers also wished that the construction period would be completed as soon as possible. Fortunately, they finally got the wages intact and returned home happily.
There were a lot of things on the dock and I was afraid. My grandparents hadn't come here a few times during the construction of the house. My father found a job to prevent the grandfather from urging him to look at the construction site. He didn't want to encounter such a thing again, as it was a nightmare when he encountered it.
After more than a month of hot summer, the house was built under the supervision of the family.
According to the tradition of my hometown, the family that built a new house had to invite the surrounding relatives and neighbors to have a meal, and also had to throw away the sugar. As the richest man in the village, the new house banquet must be held very decently. Of course, all this was handled by the young grandfather and grandfather, and grandfather never intervened in any of them.
Grandpa and grandma rushed home from the dock and pulled their reluctant father to clean the house at home. Strangely, no matter how they cleaned it up, the house always had a strange smell, and no one knew where the smell came from. However, the smell was not pungent, and they didn't take it seriously.
The whole family was busy all day.
When buying groceries, candy, firecrackers, and all kinds of things, everyone forgot what happened before, and even my father happily accompanied his uncle to the street to buy firecrackers.
When everything was sorted out, my father and grandfather sat on the stool and couldn't get up. They were sweating all over and wet the ground. It was really not easy to hold a new house banquet. When he was a child, his father always thought that a new house banquet was just cooking vegetables, setting firecrackers and throwing candy, and even if it was done, he didn't expect that he would have to prepare so many things. Fortunately, although the young grandfather was a young son, he was also a capable person. He became the captain of the brigade at a young age. This new house banquet was well prepared in his hands.
Grandma is a superstitious woman. She was very frightened when she saw so many impure things dug out from the foundation of the house, and she didn't even want to live in that house. So she was just trying to sleep on the boat for a night because she was not ready.
Grandpa's face became a little more angry, and he stood up from the stool and slapped him.
"You shameless! You have just built a new house and you have to run to bed to sleep if you don't sleep!"
This is how rural women are. Many times they can’t help themselves. The reason for this is only because Grandma Qian’s father married her to Grandpa for more than 20 years. My grandpa is a gambling person and a very irritable person. I can’t count the punches and kicks he has hit and kicked on Grandma over the past 20 years.
After slapping, my grandfather touched his wallet as if nothing had happened. He also touched his wallet hundreds of times, and walked to the casino with his bicycle.
"Mingfeng, look at home and ask your mother to prepare the meal and wait for me to come back to have dinner."
"oh."
Grandpa's gambling luck has always been very bad. He lost all his money, and he lost at the bottom after borrowing 200 yuan.
I came back angrily on a bicycle made in Shangcheng, which was rare in the village at that time, and watched my grandmother sitting on the ground kick up.
"It's all you, a prodigal girl, who will go back to sleep on the boat and wipe out the joy of the new house, which makes me lose hundreds of dollars!"
Grandma fell to the ground and cried, but it seemed that her tears were not because of her grandfather's kick. She looked in the corner with fear, and Grandpa saw a terrifying scene in her eyes.
My father was lying in the corner, foaming at his mouth, twitching all over, rolling his eyes, as if his soul had been pulled away by another person, and he couldn't wake him up no matter how he called him.
This condition is called epilepsy in my hometown, and is called epilepsy in medicine.
Seeing that my father was about to die, my grandfather went up and held his father's head and pinched the person with his thumb. This method worked very well. My father's twitching reaction began to weaken, and the foam in his mouth gradually decreased. He quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep...
Grandma borrowed a tricycle and took her father to the barefoot doctor's house in the next village for a drip. Not long after, his father regained consciousness. But he didn't know anything about what happened.
Grandpa saw that there was something to eat in the pot, so he put a few bites out and went out to gamble.
My father and grandma spent the night at the doctor's house until the early morning when my father recovered his consciousness, and my grandfather lost all the money and went back to the boat to sleep. Seeing my father's appearance, my grandfather was also scared and didn't dare to go back to sleep.
The new house banquet was held as usual. My father was lying upstairs and sleeping because of his physical weakness, while his ancestors welcomed relatives and friends to the banquet at the door.
"Dixin, you lost all yesterday!"
Grandpa also invited his gambling friend to the house for a new house banquet, saying that he would have to come after the meal.
There were a total of ten tables of banquets, made by chefs invited from the street, men and men, drinking and smoking, women and children, chewing the meal attentively.
Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.
After eating and drinking, it is the most important part of the entire new house banquet, throwing candy.
Taigong took the initiative to ask to go to the roof and throw the wedding candy he had prepared before to the diners downstairs.
He carried a large pot of candy and climbed from the first floor to the third floor. The grandfather was still young and strong, and climbed three floors with a pot without breathing at all.
Everyone calculated that the time was coming, so they all ran to my doorstep to prepare for the Gaotang for a new house banquet.
But after waiting for a while, the sugar did not seem to have fallen from the sky as expected, and no Taigong was found on the third floor.
Grandpa continued to gamble with the gamblers in the house, and did not pay attention to the outside.
People looked at the windows and waited for more than ten minutes, but there was still no sign of throwing sugar.
"Disin, what happened last time you saw it, why haven't you thrown candy yet!"
When my grandfather heard the shouts outside the door, he realized that his new house candy had not been thrown away. He hurriedly closed the card and went upstairs.
The other three gamblers secretly opened his card and looked at it for a few seconds and put it back.
As soon as I walked to the third floor, I saw a man lying on the ground, moving.
The grandfather was as epilepsy as his father!
He was foaming at the mouth and his whole body twitched, but this time it was different. His eyes were staring straight at a mirror next to him, staring at him as if something was about to marry him!
No matter how he pinched the human body, even though his body was slowly stopping, his eyes were always there, looking at the mirror like a devil. Grandpa found something was wrong with his grandfather and quickly broke the mirror.
Only then did Taigong recover.
"What's wrong with me?"
Grandpa originally wanted to ask why he kept staring at the mirror, but Grandpa seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened just now, and he didn't know what he encountered before epilepsy and saw what he saw.
He asked someone to go to the third floor to help the grandfather down and sprinkled a large basin of candy. The people on the ground bent down and rushed for wedding candy, as if they could make a fortune by grabbing the candy.
Grandpa was about to leave with a basin and went downstairs, but when he went downstairs, he saw someone on the fragments of the mirror, but when he looked carefully, he disappeared again. Grandpa felt that he might have drunk too much and looked at it and didn't take it seriously, so he went downstairs to continue gambling on cards.
Any cards you have seen will lose completely without exception.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, grandparents dispersed the gamblers and relatives and friends and cleaned up the house in the front yard.
"Don't go out to gambling cards today, please stay at home with Mingfeng." Grandma begged grandpa to stay with his father. After all, if these things happen in this family, there must be a father to comfort his children.
"You slut, please get out of here."
I threw down the broom and went out. I don’t know where to look for mahjong again.
It seems that since the house was repaired, my grandfather has become more addicted to gambling than before.
When grandma packed up the yard, it was almost evening. She warmed up some food and brought it to her father. She brought a bowl of rice to the gate and sat on the bench to eat, staring at the ginkgo tree that had just been loaded in front of her in a daze.
Dolls, ragdolls, wear flower clothes, wear flower clothes, grandpa will take you to the show.
Dolls, ragdolls, wear flower clothes, wear flower clothes, grandpa will take you to the show.
It was the middle-aged man's singing that night again, and grandma seemed to know where the sound came from.
Chapter completed!
