Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 105 Moving into a New House
After seven or eight days, the Lu family's house was finally built, and the last and most critical step came, which was to install the beams.

Liang Liang was a big deal, and an auspicious day was specially chosen.

Boss Lu went to the county town two days in advance to buy some firecrackers and came back. In this era, firecrackers were still rare and quite expensive, but considering it was such a big event as moving to a new house, he still reluctantly bought a lot of them.

Lu Laoer found some copper coins and took them out for a while to use in the ceremony. Zhang Song and Zhang Yong made an exception today and did not collect the feathers, but helped with the household chores.

The female relatives got up early in the morning and were busy. Yu Shilianhua prepared breakfast, Qin Shi crushed the rice grains into powder and steamed brown sugar rice cakes at noon. He Jiuniang, Lu Guilan and Shen Shi joined the cleaning army, everything that could be washed was washed. I can't wait to wash it again, I am so busy.

Mrs. Sun was teaching a group of children at home: "Today is a good day, everyone smiles at me, do you hear me? No fighting, no crying, no swearing, otherwise I will slap you if you hear me!"

The little carrot heads stood in a row and nodded obediently.

The parents of each family told them last night that they must be happy today so that they can be happier and happier in the future when they live in a new house.

Seeing how sensible the children were, Mrs. Sun nodded with satisfaction, and went with Old Man Lu to prepare sacrifices and incense tables to worship the family gods.

The Lu family's house was built magnificently. As soon as the family had breakfast, someone came over to watch the excitement.

The men invited by the village to Shang Liang also arrived one after another, and He Jiuniang took the time to pour tea to entertain them.

When the auspicious time comes, we will start to lift the beam.

The beams covered in red and green with the slogan "Good luck on the beams, the purple stars shine high" were lifted up by the men singing "Song of the beams", and the beams were lifted to the ridge of the roof.

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the children covered their ears, but there were excited smiles on their faces.

After the men carrying the beam came down, the bricklayer carried a tray with copper coins and Xinglong steamed buns on his head and went up to the ridge of the roof. As he went up, he read loudly: "Hands on the golden ladder step by step, the sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher, and I wish the owner a thousand years." It’s good to be rich and have children and grandchildren for generations to come!”

After saying that, throw down the steamed buns and copper coins in the tray. This is called "throwing beams".

Adults and children rush forward to pick up the mascots, and whoever picks them up will also have good luck.

After the activities were over, Mrs. Yu brought the brown sugar rice cakes prepared by the sacrifice and distributed them to the children, and then both adults and children drank a bowl of sugar water.

Today we are hosting a banquet for everyone, including members of the Lu family, the village chief, and everyone who helped build the house during this period.

There were quite a lot of people. Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu went to the county town to sell fresh meat and vegetables. Brothers Zhang Song and Zhang Yong accompanied the guests to drink tea and chat. The two brothers from the Zhang family were more eloquent than the two brothers from the Lu family. There is nothing wrong with the general arrangement.

As a result, everyone had a meal that was more sumptuous than the Chinese New Year.

What's more important is that the host is willing to provide meat, vegetables and wine, and everyone can eat with open stomachs until they are full.

Naturally, the house has been cleaned a long time ago, and the basic wooden beds and bedding are complete. Each couple has a room, and the three children have a room.

The boys Leizi, Jiezi, and Huzi live together. They are all studying. Living together makes it easier for them to learn and supervise each other.

The girls Lianhua, Youyatou, and Tingyatou live together. Only the younger dogs, Shanyatou, Xiuya, and Xiaoliangzi sleep with their parents.

The two embroiderers have finally settled down in the Lu family and no longer need to rush around every morning and evening.

These young couples have not slept together since their families started fleeing the famine. They are all young people. Now that their lives are getting better and their new homes have been established, it is correct to say that a little separation is better than a newlywed.

Before I could say a few words in whispers, there was movement in various rooms.

He Jiuniang, who still has a son to accompany her, is not considered a widow. After putting her son to sleep, she sat at the table and started drawing a design draft. She had an idea a few days ago, but she never started writing it. Mainly because of the whole room. People living together influence her play.

After working for most of the night, she felt a little thirsty. She quietly took out a bottle of Coke from the space and took a sip: "Tsk, it feels so good!"

Since time travel, a large family has lived together, without much private space, and many good things have not been dared to be used. But now it is better and free.

After drawing a lot of design drafts, He Jiuniang stretched, but she was still not sleepy, but she didn't want to do it anymore, so she opened the door and went out to get some air.

As a result - she came back very embarrassed, closed the door, and lay down first whether she was sleepy or not.

Before falling asleep, she thought that she might have to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow morning, and her sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law might not be able to get up...

Sure enough, everyone got up late the next day, everyone understood. Sun and Old Man Lu were very happy all morning. A good relationship between their son and daughter-in-law is what they like to hear most. If this continues, there will be more children in the family. Think about it. They all thought it was a beautiful thing.

However, she was in a good mood. When she went out and saw He Jiuniang already busy in the kitchen, Mrs. Sun couldn't explain how she felt.

In this big family, everyone is in pairs, except He Jiuniang.

Even people who are usually afraid of cooking can be considerate of their sister-in-law and take the initiative to cook.

Ms. Sun pursed her lips, thinking that her daughter had quietly told her two days ago that she had already told her third daughter-in-law, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

People are selfish, so naturally she couldn't bear to let He Jiuniang really remarry.

But people's hearts are made of flesh, so she treats He Jiuniang as her own daughter, and naturally hopes that she will live well.

As for his son, he may never see him again in this life.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help.

"Mother, morning!"

When He Jiuniang saw her, she smiled and said hello, and then continued to do her own business.

Thinking of the design of the feather suit that he drew last night, he added: "I drew a few pictures last night. After dinner, everyone will take a look at it. If it works, we will start working on it."

He Jiuniang is still very confident in her design. She said this just to be polite and put an X by the way.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Sun heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable. While others were enjoying themselves, the third daughter-in-law was still worried about the family business...

"Since you went to bed late last night, why did you get up so early?"

She spoke with some distress and sat at the door of the stove to help add firewood.

"I got up when I couldn't sleep. If I say this person is in debt, I could sleep in the open air before, but now I can't sleep in a big blue brick house!"

These words were naturally false, but she said them so casually without arousing suspicion.

Mrs. Sun raised her head and said, "Is this the case for you too?"

Hearing this, Ms. Sun also had trouble sleeping last night, so He Jiuniang followed her words and said, "Yes, it may take a few days to get used to it."

"Who says it's not the case!" Mrs. Sun sighed, "The conditions are much better than our family used to be. I always feel a little uneasy, like in a dream..."

Just as he was talking, the doors of each room were opened, and the young wives' faces were all red and shy.

The men were a little sluggish. After all, it was physical work, wasn't it?

He Jiuniang knew at a glance that the battle last night was fierce.

Gee, young people should pay more attention to their health!

As a result, everyone in the Lu family discovered that there were a lot of wolfberry seeds in today's tea.

Although I didn't know what the wolfberry was used for, I thought that He Jiuniang was reading a medical book recently, so this thing must be good, so I drank all the water and wolfberry.
