Wu Huiliang got up early. After preparing breakfast, he simply took a few bites. At the same time, he woke up Xu Li and the children. According to yesterday's plan, before building a house, the things inside the house had to be moved outside, and the family of three had to move together.
Huiping and the others are crowded together and temporarily live next door. Therefore, they have to seize the time to do other things well.
Yuanyuan slept late yesterday and didn't feel energetic when she woke up in the morning. Fortunately, Xu Li was there to urge her to wash up and eat, so it didn't take long. After they finished eating, Wu Huiping drove the tractor to
The child was sent to school. When he came back, he started a busy day.
At first, Xu Li and he were just responsible for moving things out of the house. Slowly, Huiping and his family came over. Later, many people from the village came to help. Therefore, in less than half an hour,
, and had already emptied everything in the house.
The next step is to demolish the house.
Almost everyone knows this step. As long as they use a shovel, hoe or other tools to hit the wall a dozen times, the wall will collapse. If only Wu Huiliang's family participates, it may be a bit laborious, but anyway
More and more people are coming to help, and the problem can be solved in minutes.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, so a group of people walked outside the courtyard in advance and stood at different positions with shovels and hoes. Following Wu Huiliang's command, they rammed it hard.
The wall outside the courtyard collapsed instantly, sending up a plume of thick smoke.
"Great!"
"Folks, keep up your efforts."
"follow me!"
As the walls outside the courtyard collapsed, a brick road was formed in the courtyard, filling up the originally uneven ground. Wu Huiliang struck while the iron was hot, walked forward quickly, and led everyone to the next door on both sides.
As before, the villagers lined up with tools in hand, and then they pressed against the wall and shouted:
At the same time, a loud noise was made and more smoke was blown up.
Next, only the main house was left. The villagers were all ready, turned around and gathered around, spitting on their palms, clenching the things in their hands, eager to try.
However, anyone who has built a house knows that before demolishing the main house, you must invite the Feng Shui master in the village to do the math and select four villagers with the same wood life to come and carry the beams. This is what the older generation often calls beam-carrying.
Ceremony. After this ceremony, the villagers are invited to have a feast in the yard. Before noon, a few firecrackers are placed around the main house.
Used to bid farewell to past bad luck and bad luck.
In previous lives, many families would go through a ceremony before building a house.
Although Wu Huiliang has never participated, he has watched it from the sidelines many times.
Therefore, there is no need for Old Man Wu to command, he can do it by himself.
"Folks, please wait a moment."
"Before the main house is demolished, our family will have a small beam-carrying ceremony. At that time, I will invite a Feng Shui master to calculate the birth dates for everyone present. If they are born in wood, please take the initiative to come forward.
Follow me to the back room to remove the beams and carry them out."
"When it's done, each person will have a box at the front door!"
"Then, at noon, all the family members came to support our family."
"I will prepare wine and food then, everyone eat and drink hard."
"Try to save your strength in the afternoon and demolish the house before dark."
Wu Huiliang stood in the middle of the yard, laughing and talking.
It was obviously my first time to build a house and participate in this kind of beam-carrying ceremony.
But he conducted it with style.
As soon as the villagers heard about this, regardless of whether they had participated in such a thing or not, they were all willing to listen to his words. They crouched in the courtyard collectively and took advantage of the time to smoke and engage in household chores.
Pulling and pulling, I couldn't help but praise Wu Huiliang.
"This kid Huiliang is really different from others, his aura."
"Even the old people in the village may not be able to arrange the beam-carrying ceremony well."
"No, how else can we say that the young man of the Wu family is lucky?"
"Well, if my child could have half the advantages he has, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
…
Xieying Village has always been full of talented people.
Near the farmland of Wu Huiliang's family, a single man in his seventies set up a tent and lived there for a long time.
It is said that when I was young I could count and be very clever.
Although Wu Huiliang didn't really believe in these things, he thought it was a rule left by his ancestors and decided to go there.
"Mom, Dad, Ali, you guys watch in the yard first, I'll go ask Liu Suanzi." Seeing that the villagers all jumped down, Wu Huiliang looked at his family and gave some instructions.
Then, without waiting for their response, they started the tractor and drove away from the street.
On South Street, in a thatched house.
Liu Suanzi was lighting a fire in the house to cook.
There is a jujube tree planted outside the house. The jujubes on it are all ripe in season. If you pick any jujube tree, it will be bright red.
There is also a yellow dog squatting under the jujube tree, wagging its tail docilely.
It didn't take long for the meal to be ready.
He was holding a bowl and wandering alone outside the yard, admiring the scenery beside the fields and munching the noodles happily.
The bottom of the bowl is left for his only friend, rhubarb.
Alas, who would have thought that a celebrity in the village would now live in such an environment.
Wu Huiliang arrived within ten minutes.
Because the two farms are very close to each other, they used to help each other a lot.
As soon as they met, he smiled and took out the cigarette in his hand and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu, where are you eating?"
"It's you." Liu Suanzi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, walked over to face him, and took the cigarette he handed over, "Are you done with the work in the fields?"
"Well, we're done." Wu Huiliang took out the match and lit a cigarette for him, "Uncle Liu, are you busy now?"
"I'm not busy." Liu Suanzi said, "I live here now and have nothing to do with the world. Apart from living a good life, what else can I be busy with."
"That's right." Wu Huiliang smiled, "If you're not busy, come and sit at my house. My family is building a house today, and I need you to figure it out."
Liu Suanzi is a popular man in the village. Despite his age, he has participated in many beam-carrying ceremonies.
As soon as I heard what Wu Huiliang said, I immediately understood what was going on.
Fidgeting with the cigarette butt, he smiled and said, "Your family is building a house. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Come on, I'll go take a look with you."
"Thank you, Grandpa Liu." Wu Huiliang said, quickly helped him, got on the tractor, and returned at a steady speed in the direction he came from.
