Financial Freedom: My Golden Finger Has a Billion Points

Chapter 80

On the day of the house entering ceremony, the house was very lively. The culture of house entering in Lingnan is very unique.

Moving into a house is like moving into a new home.In ancient times, people often used the metaphor of "orioles moving to trees" to describe people moving to a new home.

In the past, there were not many new houses built by each household, and usually several families lived together, so the ceremony of entering a house was usually very grand.

According to Lingnan customs, when a daughter-in-law is married and moves into a new house, the bride’s family will also prepare lanterns and send them over to celebrate.

It was still dark, and Lu Xiaobu's family got up early.The elders in the family have long been optimistic about the good time and have decided on the time to enter the house today.

The Lu family had to quickly set up their beds before moving into the house, and prepare the things needed to move in. They had to be sent to the old house in advance, and then moved into the new house from there. This was a symbolic ceremony for moving into a new home. .

Seeing that the time to enter the house was coming, it started to rain.

If you wait until the rain stops, you will not only miss the auspicious time, but it may also affect the wedding reception later.

Everyone unanimously decided to move immediately.

The ceremony began. As the head of the family, Father Lu walked at the front of the procession, carrying a load full of firewood, salt, oil and rice, holding incense in his hand.

Mother Lu was carrying the chicken coop, and her son was carrying the water, and they all followed behind.

The cousins ​​also helped to get some things and stepped into the new house together.

Generally, when we want to move to a new house, we have to walk from the old house to the new house, and then we have to pay homage to the Land God at the old house and tell him that we are going to the new house, and then bring these necessities, When you bring these traditional utensils over to the new house, you have to pay homage to the Earth God. The meaning of worshiping the Earth God is to bless the whole family with safe access and good health.

In the eyes of Lingnan people, this special emotion passed down from generation to generation can turn a lifeless house into a carrier that embodies the emotions of a family.

Then the mage will perform a ceremony and put a whole pig and fruits on the table.

The entire ceremony must be solemn and quiet. If you play tricks, you will be criticized by the elders.

At this time, Lu Xiaobu could only hear a few words clearly from the words spoken by the mage who was doing the work:

This chicken is not an extraordinary chicken, but a phoenix chicken in the sky. It has spiritual energy when it lands in the world. It is wearing a large colorful dress, a male crown on its head and a saw on its feet. It can be called the Five Virtues and Trust. On the 28th, the chicken on the [-]th of the month flies back to the heavenly palace above its head. , the Jade Emperor called him Ziyun Chicken, and once he flew to Kunlun Mountain, he turned into a human chicken that announced the dawn. Mortals have no use for you. Disciples use you to consecrate the light. The consecration does not turn on the light of the lamp. The light does not last long, and the consecration only turns on the light of the sun and the moon. , the sun and moon shine in all directions...

There will be a banquet for the villagers during the day, so the banquet team invited from seven o'clock has already started processing the ingredients.

People in the family have to be invited from every household. Here, men are always invited to the table, and women are generally not invited to the table.

This is not discrimination against women, it is just a custom.

A pack of Ruanhuazi is placed on each table, and the drink is Liuliangye.

At noon, with the sound of firecrackers, the banquet ended, and then things started to be packed away.

In the evening, the cousins ​​came over for another meal. There was still a lot left from the lunch banquet. If they were not invited to eat, they would not be able to finish it, and it would be thrown away in the end.

Everyone in the family was having a great time drinking, and there was still a lot of food left to eat. Each family packed some away and took it home.

After eating, everyone sat around the tea table drinking tea and chatting.

Fireworks will be set off at midnight.

After setting off the fireworks, you can take a rest.

Weiwei is also sleepy. The two of them sleep in the new house in their hometown tonight.

The next day, when I woke up, my father and mother were sitting outside chatting with their neighbors.

My father and mother were considering holding their wedding this year as the Chinese New Year was approaching, so my father asked him to pick up his father-in-law and talk about it together.

He and Wei Wei are naturally very happy to hold a wedding.

Dad, yesterday I asked the Master to choose a good and auspicious day. There are still two months before the wedding.

There is still plenty of time to prepare properly.

At this time, on the other side, in a hidden place, a smoky place, several people gathered together to play cards, and one of them was Ouyang Nana's ex-husband.

This bad guy took the 40 yuan instead of paying off the foreign debt he owed. Instead, he used the money to try to make up his losses. As a result, he lost 20 yuan in a few days.

Now I'm losing my mind.

Now they were playing Golden Flower, which was a three-card match. He slowly opened the cards and got three tens this time. This was a good card. A trace of surprise flashed across his face.

"Five hundred." "Did you get a good card, kid?"

"You don't care whether I get good cards or not, you just say whether to follow or not."

The other two players folded, leaving the one on the opposite side left.

"I also got good cards, but I don't believe it. You got better cards than me."

"1000 dollars."

"I'll give you 1000 yuan."

The two kept adding more money, and soon the table was tens of thousands of dollars smaller.

"Fifty thousand." The other party pressed fifty thousand directly.

This bad guy hesitated a little. Just thinking about the cards in his hand, he didn't believe that he could be bigger than him. It seemed that he could win back what he lost before.

"Okay, I won't give you [-] yuan."

"Okay, you guy must have got a lot of cards, and I got a lot of cards. I specified that I can't give up, and I'll push another [-]."

Now this bad guy only has more than [-] left.

"Okay, I'll give you another fifty thousand."

"Are you sure? I'll give you [-] more."

Seeing that he didn't have much money left, he had no choice but to drive. However, after driving, he was completely dumbfounded. The opponent turned out to be three jacks. He slumped on the chair like a deflated rubber ball.

Now he only has tens of thousands of dollars left.

Soon he lost all his money.

"Can you lend me tens of thousands of dollars? I'll pay you back if I have the money."

"We agreed before that if we don't have money, we will leave. I heard that your ex-wife has money, so you can ask her for it again."

"I can't get it anymore. We have an agreement. This is the last time she will give me money."

"Can you still have no means?"

…………

He walked home in a bad mood, played cards all night, and was sleepy and hungry.

He had just returned to the rental house and was about to lie down to rest when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it? I don't know if I am taking a rest. If you knock again, I will beat you."

The knocking on the door still didn't stop. He opened the door impatiently, and suddenly four or five people rushed in.

"It's Brother Biao."

"I heard that your boy recently asked for a sum of money from his ex-wife. How much money is it?"

"Brother Biao, I lost all my money."

"What, how dare you not pay back the money and beat him."

Several strong men punched and kicked him.

"Stop fighting...don't fight..."

"stop."

The dead man felt that all the bones in his body were falling apart and his internal organs were about to shift.

"Tell me, how do you want to repay this money?"

The rotten man got up with difficulty and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
