Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, my brain is flooded."

"Water in the brain? What does this mean?" Lu Jianchuan looked confused and wanted to ask again, but Gu Yunxi had already blushed and ran away.

In the next few days, the Lu family's house was built very quickly. The wall structure was completed and the beams were just waiting to be installed.

It just so happened that tomorrow was the sixth day of the lunar month, which was an auspicious day, so the Lu family chose to go to the beam near noon tomorrow.

The family is no longer so short of money, and Mr. He has become more generous. He plans to go to the town with Father Lu to buy melons, fruit snacks and red envelopes to use for cooking the next day.

Lu Qingqing went to give away the flowers and was talking enthusiastically to Madam Wang. When Lu Jianchuan saw this, he told her to buy some things first.

In fact, he turned a corner and went to the bookstore where Gu Yunxi took the job of copying books.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" The clerk came over quickly.

"I'm not buying anything, I'm here to give away books. Here, this is the copy of the book my wife got for me last time. I have already finished copying one copy."

Lu Jianchuan took out the book wrapped in linen from his arms and handed it to the bookstore clerk.

The clerk immediately reacted: "So you are Lu Xiucai!"

You know, the number of scholars is limited even in the entire Yang County, let alone in this small Jihu Town.

After taking the book, the clerk checked it and made sure it was OK, then took out a hundred articles and handed it to Lu Jianchuan.

“Sir, your book costs one hundred words to copy, and the deposit you paid before can’t be refunded until another book is copied.

"Deposit? What deposit?"

Lu Jianchuan obviously had not thought that a deposit would be required for copying books. Gu Yunxi had never mentioned it before, so he asked her later.

However, holding the heavy copper coins in his hand, Lu Jianchuan was also very happy. This was the first time he had made money with his own hands for such a long time, and it was still a hundred coins!

When he was in the book school before, he had seen classmates copying books. At that time, the Lu family's conditions were quite decent, so he did not earn the money himself.

After leaving the bookstore, Lu Jianchuan went to the grocery store and asked, "Man, are there any water bags for sale here?"

"Yes, yes, we have sheepskin water bladders, cowhide water bladders, and pig and cow cell water bladders in our store. Sheepskin water bladders cost one tael of silver, cowhide water bladders cost one and a half cents, pig cells cost six hundred cents, and cow cell water bladders cost one and a half cents. Eight hundred coins, which one do you want, sir?"

So expensive? Lu Jianchuan touched the copper coins in his pocket. He didn't have enough money to even buy a water bag.

"Is there anything else?"

The waiter looked at him with a look of understanding and said: "There are also water hyacinths, fifty cents each."

After saying that, he pointed to the pile of gourds hanging in the store. There was a stopper on the gourd. The stopper was tied with a thin hemp rope, which looked pretty good.

The pile of water hyacinths ranged from big to small. Lu Jianchuan picked two, one big and one medium-sized. The big one was going to be used by Father Lu.

When he goes to work in the fields, it is really inconvenient to carry water in earthen pots. If he has this kind of water hyacinth, it will be much easier.

The medium-sized and medium-sized ones were chosen for Gu Yunxi. Last time at the gate of the town, he saw her staring at other people's water bags with an extremely envious look.

With the water hyacinth, Gu Yun can take it with him whenever he goes out and have water to drink.

Lu Jianchuan put the water bag into his backpack and went back to Shixiufang to find Gu Yunxi. She was chatting animatedly with Wang Jiaorui.

"Your wife is here." Wang Jiaozhen saw Lu Jianchuan and teased her with a smile.

This Lu Jianchuan is really considerate!

Gu Yunxi's face turned red and he said angrily: "Sister Zhen, you are teasing me again!"

The two spoke affectionately for a few more words, and Gu Yunxi left with Lu Jianchuan to find Father Lu and Mr. He.

Mr. He bought a lot of things, including fruits, snacks, couplets and the like. Fortunately, all four members of his family came, otherwise he would not be able to take them back.

When everyone got home, they checked it carefully again and made sure that everything needed for the beam loading tomorrow was ready before taking a rest.

On the second day, many people from the village came. It was a great joy to go to the beam.

Father Lu and Lu Jianchuan were busy hanging the decorations. Before the beam was put up, a piece of red cloth was wrapped in the middle of the beam, and some red paper was pasted on both ends, with the auspicious characters "Good luck to the beam" written on it.

Before the beam is officially laid, a sacrificial ceremony, that is, a beam sacrifice, needs to be held.

Mr. He set up an Eight Immortals table in front of the door, with three plates of fruits, three cups of wine, and three cups of white rice on it. Then he lit incense candles and paper money to worship. During the worship, he also needed to mutter something.

While Mr. He was burning paper money, Lu Jianchuan lit firecrackers, and the crackling sound was as lively as the New Year.

Lifting the beams is also very particular. It requires eight young men with both parents and good horoscopes to climb up the wall to pull the beams. When the beams are pulled, the craftsman chants something loudly.

After the beam is pulled up to the ridge, the next step is to stabilize the beam, which is to check the position of the beam. When stabilizing the beam, you should also consider the "left green dragon, right white tiger", raise the left beam head appropriately, and raise the right beam head appropriately. The beam head should be lowered appropriately.

When all this was done, the villagers and children who were watching were full of anticipation, looking at the people on the roof beams, wondering when they would throw the beams.

"Throw the beam!" Someone shouted, and the people on the roof threw items mixed with candies, peanuts, red envelopes, etc. from the air.

Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, everyone was rushing to grab it, wave after wave, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone was very happy.

"There are actually two cents in my red envelope!" A child who picked up the red envelope jumped up happily.

"Ah! Mine also has a penny!" Another child quickly opened his own and found that there were copper coins inside. He also shouted happily, for fear that others would not know that he had money.

At this time, a woman came over, twisted the child's ears and scolded: "Give the money to mother and save it for you. When you grow up, you can marry a wife."

The child was so happy just now, but now he is so wilted and regretful. If he had known better, he would not have shouted out.

However, the Lu family was really generous. Shang Liang was even willing to throw out red envelopes containing money, and almost all the children present picked up so many envelopes.

The Lu family didn't know what the people in the village were thinking. They were busy cleaning up things after the beam was installed. He and Gu Yunxi were busy cooking to celebrate the craftsmen and workers.

These days, everyone helps build the house, and there is no cheating or cheating, and the Lu family sees it all.

"Thank you for your hard work! You helped us build the house so quickly. Next, we have to put in the tiles and we will have to work hard for a few days." Mr. Lu picked up his wine glass and toasted to the craftsmen.

Everyone also raised their glasses and responded enthusiastically.

If you go to Liang today, you won't have to work in the afternoon, so drinking at noon won't be a problem.

The meal was even better than an ordinary lunch. Some people even thought that it would be great if the Lu family kept building a house so that they could have such good meals every day.

However, come to think of it, with everyone's busy work day after day, the tiles on the roof have also been erected.
