237 On the beam
(Thanks to friends 08a, afrashui, anna0626, Ni Chenxi Chu's reward and encouragement, thanks to friends 08a, afrashui, anna0626 monthly ticket encouragement)
Living in rural areas, this is really the most important thing. Liu Fugui’s house was built in five days and half of it, so I will put it on the beam today.
Even though there are many people who still talk about Liu Fugui's gossip behind their backs, even if it is not dawn, there are many people coming to join in the fun today. Especially some half-aged children in the village, they even come to ask for the lottery and take a happy mood.
Although Liu Fugui was preparing for the matter when he was on the shore, he never thought about any big scenes. Buy some firecrackers and set them off, and that's all.
But this time, Master Zhu came to be responsible for carpentry work, and he was in charge of the matter of beaming. He followed the old rules, and he helped choose this beam, so he had to follow his rules.
Don’t be upset if you have too many rules. Lao Zhu hasn’t been calling anyone for many years, this is giving you face. It’s also because of this, Lao Zhu stayed here for one more day.
A beam is the backbone of a house, so the day you put on a beam is not always available.
Otherwise, why would it be that Comrade Zhu gave Liu Fugui face? The phone number in the factory has been urging him for two days. Old Zhu was very calm and insisted on helping Liu Fugui bring this Liang up.
Last night, the guys who helped the Liang came to Liu Fugui's house. They always paid attention to this food, so they had to eat at the home of Liu Fugui, the master, and they also had to help guard this Liang.
In fact, today's Shangliang has simplified a lot of procedures. According to Master Zhu, Liu Fugui's actions are not possible.
According to normal rules, the winner's family took the palm of their hands to the mountain to select beams and woods.
The standard of beams and wood is the preferred choice. The more branches on the top, the better, which means a vast body of buildings. Moreover, there are also small trees growing vigorously on the edge of this big tree, which means a lot of descendants.
A family must have a boss, and a house must have a beam? The beams in a house represent the backbone of the family.
When cutting down, there are also some considerations. You cannot let the tree fall directly to the ground and slowly put it down. After repairing the branches, you need to carry it home directly, and you cannot put it directly to the ground.
Or you can hang it with a rope or put it on the "handling horse". This handover is a shelf built with wood, and it just can't touch the ground anyway.
When choosing the beam, it was the third master who chose it. Fortunately, when he came back, he put it on the pile of wood. Otherwise, according to Comrade Zhu's temper, he had to choose another one to be successful.
The customs of Shili are different. He did not participate in the previous matters, so this matter was just so. After all, the Third Master lived for a long time and saw a lot. In the past, you can follow the rules of the Third Master.
Now that Master Zhu has taken over, the rules behind him have to follow him.
He covered both ends of the repaired beam with red cloth. And the direction of the things was placed, with the big head in the east.
After everyone finished breakfast in a hurry, Liu Fugui began to give everyone a red silk belt. After all, there was still a distance to carry from home to the hillside, and red silk needed to be used to fight against the evil.
To get a good start, Ping An will push back the time to deliver food to Yanbei City today. If he doesn't participate in such a lively event, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
"Master Zhu, is it almost the same?" Liu Fugui asked to come to Master Zhu, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Master Zhu looked at the sky and nodded slightly, "Oh, I haven't been in charge of such a thing for many years, and I'm still a little excited. Let me smoke and smoke and calm down. Only when my mind is stable can I worship the ancestor."
"Grandpa Zhu, who is the ancestor?" Lele, who followed the fun, asked curiously.
"Lele, the ancestor is Lu Ban's master. I rewarded Grandpa Zhu with this food and let Grandpa Zhu eat it until now. It's not a big deal that Grandpa didn't let you go to Liang to play, right?" Master Zhu asked as he looked at Lele.
Lele thought about it and shook her head, "Lele can't even get up, so you have to carry Lele up."
"Lele is really a good boy. Can grandpa give Lele a very important task later?" Master Zhu praised and asked, looking at the little guy.
The little guy nodded happily, proving that it was right for her to do this. He is also a big child now, and he can not only help his father burn fire, but also do something else.
"Fugui, you will lead Lele ahead later. You can't hold it, just walk along the way. Is it okay?" Master Zhu looked at Liu Fugui again and asked.
"Okay, okay, but I have never let Lele go so far." Liu Fugui frowned slightly.
"I know that you feel sorry for your child, so it can be considered as getting a good start for your house. You have to work hard and have fun." Master Zhu said with a smile.
"There is a small green snake on Lele's neck, and that is the green dragon. The green dragon leads the way and all evil people avoid it. This section of the road will be safe. Your career is just starting out, and even if this house is just temporary, you cannot fool it."
Master Zhu said this. Even if Liu Fugui feels sorry for Lele, there is nothing he can do. Moreover, this road is just a long way. Xiao Lele runs around every day, so there is no problem walking this road.
Master Zhu directly extinguished half of the cigarette, tied red silk around his waist, and came outside.
The long wooden table has been arranged, and before setting up the beams, there is another process, which is to worship the ancestors.
In fact, it is similar to the routine when I worshiped the mountain, but this time there are more sacrifices.
They are all tools that Master Zhu and his friends usually do for work, such as planes, chisels, axes, saws, rulers, and ink buckets. Some of them are combs, embroidered shoes, small mirrors, and combs.
The ones in front were worshipping Lu Ban, and the ones in the back were worshipping his wife. They were golden partners. It is said that the pillars and stones when building the house were invented by his wife.
Whether this is true or not is impossible to determine. But his wife is indeed an inventor, and the umbrella is her handed down.
Lele is actually very curious about such things. But she is also a good boy, so she won’t mess with you randomly. Now she is holding Liu Fugui’s hand obediently and following him to watch.
Master Zhu looked solemn, burned incense and kowtowed, and muttered something in his mouth. What he said, Liu Fugui didn't hear clearly. I think it should be some words for blessing and gratitude.
After all this, Master Zhu waved his hand, and his three apprentices led the ten people next to him who helped lift the beam together to separate the sides of the beam.
