"Not to mention, this aunt of the Bai family, who usually doesn't show off her integrity, suddenly made such a big move. She said that Potian still has a strong foundation. Even if we want to turn around, we don't dare to engage in such a big battle."
"Who says it's not the case? We are the ones who are short of food and clothing. How can we compare with the family of a wealthy family? Looking at their attitude, the house built will definitely be no worse than the landlord's house."
No matter what the people watching outside say, the Bai family's house is getting taller day by day.
Baiyunxi is busy in front of and behind the house every day, and from time to time discusses local changes with Cui Zhangmo, so there is no leisure time to pay attention to the gossip in the village.
Until the house begins to be beamed up, Baiyunxi needs to prepare a table for sacrifice on this day. According to local customs, a sacrificial ceremony must be held before the beam is beamed up. This ceremony is called beam sacrificing.
The implication is to pray for the protection of the gods, the permanent stability of the house, long-term peace, prosperity, academic success, and abundant financial resources.
Among them is the part of reciting blessing words. According to custom, you need to ask a respected elder to recite it.
When Cui Zhangmo mentioned this matter to her, Bai Yunxi hesitated for a moment and then took it upon herself.
"The house belongs to my family, and I am the eldest elder in this family. It is most appropriate for me to recite the words."
When you invite someone to recite a eulogy, you not only have to come to the door to greet them, but you also have to give the person who is reciting a hand seal, something like a hand seal, which is troublesome to think about.
Zhang Cui Mo listened to Bai Yunxi's tone, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but laugh,
"What the eldest sister said is true. Praying for a house can be done as long as you are sincere."
After getting along with each other these days, he has finally figured out the temperament of this family. They all seem to be quite easy-going, but if you get serious, everyone has their own temper.
Especially the little researcher, who looks calm every day, holds a book in his hand, and chats with them from time to time, looks very likable.
When the auspicious time came, with the crackling of firecrackers, after worshiping, Baiyunxi stood in the middle of the lobby and recited a prayer with a serious expression.
In short, no matter how nice you say it, no matter how auspicious you say it, they are all words of blessing for good luck and good luck.
After that, as the ink master shouted to raise the beam, the main beam with the big red silk flowers slowly rose up to the fixed roof with the cooperation of the workers.
On this day, the weather was fine and the beam went smoothly.
Baiyunxi moved the offered fruits to the side, and when the workers took a break, he distributed the tributes to everyone to taste together.
Looking at the people watching the excitement at the door, Bai Yunxi was not stingy and asked Li to grab a few handfuls of peanut candies and scatter them out so that everyone could have fun together.
Among the crowd watching the fun, Bai Yunxi saw his uncle leaning on a cane. Seeing him squinting and looking at the roof in a daze, Bai Yunxi walked over directly.
"Uncle is here, come in and sit for a while. The yard is messy, so it's okay to have a drink of water."
The old patriarch looked at his niece in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked at her for a moment, but he didn't refuse and went straight into the yard on crutches.
When Mrs. Du saw her uncle coming, she quickly poured him a glass of water.
The old patriarch sat on a chair and looked at the busy life in the courtyard. It took him a while before he spoke.
"Building a house is such a big deal, why didn't you tell your uncle? If you need any help, can your uncle disapprove of you?"
"After all, it's hard work for you as a woman to raise several children. With your cousins to help you, you can be somewhat relaxed. Why bother isolating yourself from the crowd?"
