Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 744 Is this our house? (two more)

Yang Ruoqing's new house was built the day after Yang Huamei's return.

These days, I am busy installing doors and windows, making furniture, and building pots.

Yang Ruoqing didn't plan to ask for the furniture in the old house.

The furniture and beds in the new house are all new.

During breakfast, Yang Ruoqing heard that her parents were discussing the matter of 'making water and wine'.

She pricked up her ears.

The so-called 'water outlet' means that when a new house is built and completed, rainwater can be drained to the outside of the house.

The feast held by the head of the household to celebrate Chushui is called 'chushui wine'.

According to the rules of this area, relatives and friends have to come to congratulate and give gifts.

Congratulatory gifts are usually in the hall, couplets, plaques and so on.

Gotta give gifts.

The amount of gift money varies from person to person, depending on the relationship.

Yang Huazhong said: "I made a rough calculation, and there is a full table just for the craftsmen and the helpers."

"The relatives of the two families are together, and two tables must be arranged."

"Those who have friendship in the village, I'm afraid they have to come over to congratulate, and they have to prepare two more tables."

"Calculating this way, there are six tables of genuine wine."

"The adults and children who help, have to arrange an additional table, seven tables!"

After listening to Yang Huazhong's calculation, Mrs Sun was both happy and tongue-tied.

I'm happy to finally be able to live in a new house.

"My God, seven tables, this banquet has more guests than the old five married guests last time. I'm really afraid that I can't handle it myself!" the woman said.

Yang Huazhong said with a smile: "Building a house and hosting a banquet is a once in a lifetime event, hehe, to tell you the truth, I'm also a little nervous!"

Here, Yang Ruoqing smiled and put down her chopsticks.

"Catch the ducks on the shelves."

"The first time it is born, the second time it is cooked, in the future, as long as there are more feasts to be held in our family!" she said.

The couple both set their eyes on Yang Ruoqing.

Here, Yang Ruoqing continued, "Mom, Mom and Dad, it's just seven tables of banquets. This is all up to me."

In Tianxianglou, even in the off-season, there are more than seven tables per day.

Catch up with the peak season, and there are dozens of tables for running water seats in one day.

This 'water wine' at home is a piece of cake!

"Father, have we set the date for the 'water wine'?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Yang Huazhong thought for a while, "Not yet, have to ask the goddess in the neighboring village?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "One to two, it is estimated that it will be delayed for several days."

"It's hot in the morning, and this house is low and damp, and there are many mosquitoes. I want to move to a new house early," she said.

Sun shi nodded again and again.

"I thought so too, these few nights, the two boys couldn't sleep well."

"Open the window, the mosquitoes are all in. Don't open it, it's terribly hot!" the woman said.

Hearing this, Yang Huazhong asked Yang Ruoqing, "Nah, Qinger, when do you think it's appropriate to do 'shuijiu'?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while: "It's better to hit the sun if you choose a day. The day after tomorrow is a double day, so it's better to hold a banquet the day after."

"Today, my father will release the news and notify all relatives and friends."

"What about me? What should I do?" Mrs Sun asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother will go to the female relatives in our clan to say hello and ask them to come to my house to help when the sun goes down tomorrow afternoon."

"For the ingredients and drinks, I'll go to the town to buy them today, and let them deliver them tomorrow morning!"

In Yang Huazhong and Sun's eyes, the complicated issue of 'shuijiu', after Yang Ruoqing's arrangement, was only orderly.

The couple's mind suddenly became clear, and it was clear what each of them should do.

After breakfast, the family got busy.

In a blink of an eye, it is May 28 of the lunar calendar.

The day when Yang Ruoqing's family held 'shuijiu'.

In the morning, Mrs. Sun discussed with Yang Ruoqing: "Today, the family is hosting a banquet, and relatives are coming. It's so lively."

"Otherwise, let your two brothers take a day off?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head without hesitation.

"When you study something, you have to ********, and you don't hear things outside the window."

"If there are other unavoidable reasons, it would be to take leave with your husband. But it's a fun thing to eat, drink, and drink, so let's not delay them."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun also felt reasonable.

If you study, you have to suffer, because you are soft-hearted, and it is right to listen to your daughter.

Beside his ears, Da An carried his schoolbag into the kitchen, just in time to hear all the conversations between his mother and sister.

The boy raised his head and said seriously, "Mother, sister, I'm going to school, rain or shine!"

Looking at the young man's firm and clear eyes, Yang Ruoqing nodded in satisfaction.

He raised his hand and patted Daan's shoulder lightly: "This is just like a student, hurry up to eat, after eating, take Dajie's uncle's car to town!"

"okay!"

The two siblings sat together to eat.

On the side, Mr. Sun washed Xiao An who was still sleeping late.

Look at the pair of children at the table.

The daughter is shrewd, capable, filial and considerate.

The son is hardworking and self-motivated.

The woman is full of relief, this day is getting more and more hopeful!

After breakfast, the family locked the door and went to the new house at the entrance of the village.

Walking to the entrance of the village, passing through the pond, in front of you, a brand-new and grand yard stands on the side of the road.

All around, is the green farmland.

This large courtyard with blue tiles and white walls is located among the fields, as beautiful as a picture scroll.

The new yard door, which also smelled of tung oil, faced the main road.

The two courtyard doors were wide open, with a pair of red couplets on both sides of the doors.

"Mother, why don't you move?"

While walking, Yang Ruoqing found that the Sun shi had fallen behind and didn't move.

She turned around and asked in surprise.

Sun's eyes stared straight at the large yard in front of her, and the woman's always gentle face was now a little distorted with excitement.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, she murmured: "I'm not dreaming, is such a grand yard really our home?"

Yang Ruoqing froze for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled.

Poor mother, who has lived in the low and small clutter for half her life.

At this moment, seeing such a grand yard, I was even discouraged.

She turned around and took Sun's arm.

"Mother, it will be our home from now on, let's go, let's go home together!"

……

At the front of the courtyard gate, Yang Ruoqing stopped.

He looked up at the couplets on both sides of the courtyard door.

She specially asked Yang Yongxian, the elder brother in the lobby, to write the couplet.

Living in the Sunshine World

Home in the green mountains and green waters.

Yang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes.

At that time, when Brother Hall learned that she had entrusted him with the glorious and arduous task of writing couplets, he was so excited!

Yang Ruoqing knew that he was a scholar and was proud.

Using this method to win over is to do what you want.

It is said that the big brother in the lobby has been racking his brains for the past few days in order to write a good couplet.

Just last night, he sent the couplets he had written for the courtyard gate and the main room to her.

Good guy, there are ten questions in total.

She picked two to post.

"Is this written by your eldest brother? How is it written? Is it okay?"
