Baolu Tianxing

After Wu Chen returned home this time, in addition to bringing his parents, uncles, aunts, elders, and the old turtle to Guangfu, he also went to Du Qin's place, had a long talk with him all night, and persuaded him to resign. When they arrived in Guangfu, the brothers worked together.

Before, he didn't approve of Du Qin's coming out. After all, life in a small county town is good, so it may not be worse than wandering outside.In addition, Duqin is the eldest son in the family, so he can take care of the young and old nearby.

However, the typhoon this time was too strong, and every family in the coastal fishing villages suffered heavy losses. Du Qin's family is now in debt. He must be a trustworthy person who is also in charge of the inventory. After much deliberation, Duqin is the most suitable.

Going back this time, Wu Chen had a good talk with Du Qin. The two hit it off right away, and it didn't take much trouble. It's just that it's the middle of the semester, and I have to resign and find a substitute teacher to take over. The child will leave.

This time I can only ask for a few days off temporarily, and follow Wu Chen up to meet the brothers, get to know the situation by the way, and wait for the school arrangements to be settled before coming here in a serious manner.

The little girl was too young, and my uncle was afraid that he would make trouble, so I didn't want her to follow her, so I put her at my second aunt's house for a few days. It's normal for rural children to spend a while at their uncle's and aunt's house when their parents are away.

How could the little girl be willing to hug Wu Chen's leg pitifully? How pitiful and pitiful that little girl was, Wu Chen's heart softened when he saw it. Thinking of being able to go to the county town when he was a child, it felt like entering heaven , can be happy for a few days!

"It's okay, your father won't let you go, big brother will take you there!" Wu Chen picked up the little girl and solemnly promised her, in exchange for a small kiss.

When they arrived in Guangfu, it was already the day before the official day. Wu Chen first arranged for his parents to stay in a nearby hotel. They were not allowed to move in until they entered the house, but the five-star hotel had already given them a lot of fun.

This time, the old turtle lived in the villa first.Wu Chen had already built a nest for it in the artificial cave beside the swimming pool in the backyard, using fine sand and small stones.Because I don’t know if it can adapt to this kind of natural nest, and I’m afraid that there is no geothermal heat on the ground, and it will be too cold in winter, so I nailed a small house like a dog house with wood on the side, and stuffed some hay and rags inside.

The weather is actually not too cold at this time, but the old tortoise has already started to hibernate, and was carried into the car foolishly, without even opening his eyes, he arrived in Guangfu. In a completely strange place.

Wu Chen put it in the log cabin first, and planned to wait for it to wake up in the spring, and then let it choose on its own. Anyway, the backyard area will be its territory at that time.

In the Chaoshan area, moving into a house, called in the dialect, is a very solemn event. In an ordinary family, there are always three tables and five tables. Relatives and friends are invited to gather and eat, and to join in the excitement.

According to local customs, the host "cannot" accept heavy gifts from relatives and friends, as long as they come, they don't need to bring anything, or only bring a few eggs.Even if relatives and friends send important gifts, the host can't accept them. Instead, he has to add some money to the red envelope and return the "gift".

Therefore, moving into a house is a loss of money, and it takes a relatively large sum of money to build a new house, and those who are financially strapped can only borrow in the new house.For a loan, there are three to five years, ten and 20 years, and even more, three to 40 years.However, no matter how long you live, those who have not held the "entry into the house" ceremony are not considered "hosts" but "guests".

In addition to eating and drinking, there is also a set of cumbersome and exquisite ceremonies, usually presided over by Xigong, that is, the husband. First of all, five animals and fruits are to be delivered, and the land god is worshiped, which is called Xietu.

After thanking the soil, Xigong conveniently pasted magic charms with the image of Kuixing kicking and fighting all over the inside and outside of the hall to suppress ghosts and ward off evil spirits.These talismans cannot be torn off by the homeowner, and they will accompany the new house for many years.

Afterwards, there is oil and fire, that is, exorcising ghosts, usually at night, because when exorcising ghosts, it is not easy for passers-by to bump into them. Underpants, holding a wine bottle, playing drums and gongs.Reading the scriptures, ringing the bell, muttering something, followed by two younger students, one with a rolling oil pan and a torch, and one with firecrackers, followed Xigong from the dragon bank to the tiger bank in the main room, stabbing one by one from the inside to the outside, exorcising evil spirits After stabbing Shasha, he was driven out of the door. While setting off firecrackers, he sprayed salt in the oil pan, crackling and clapping, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

At this time, people from all households must hide at home and close their doors to avoid seeing ghosts.

In this way, Xigong drove out the ominous things in the house, set off firecrackers and calmed the fire, and sent them all the way to the outside of the village, threw the oil pan and others in the river pond or woods, turned around and returned.At this time, they cannot look back. It is said that if they look back, the evil things will come back.

After the fuel is turned on, it is time to enter the house.Find a more "famous" person to lead the way with a lantern until you reach the new house, call the door, and the people in the house will open the door.As soon as the door was opened, the person holding the lantern walked in. There was an oil cauldron in the house, and one person held a "soft cake" in his hand.The elder holding the lantern began to say four sentences, saying words of good meaning and good omen.

And the things are also very particular, the four corners of the house must be sealed, and the entrance must hold the rice bucket and other things.

There are so many, let alone Wu Chen, even his parents don’t understand all of them. In the past, it was decided by the village gentleman or clan elders. Now in Guangfu, they don’t pay so much attention. Wu Chen discussed it with his parents. deal with.

Clean it up the day before, light red candles, invite some guests over on the day, pay homage to the Land Lord, and set off firecrackers at the door.

Da Ya is the master who fears the world will not be chaotic, and clamors for Chen Waizui to be Xi Gong.Chen Waizui is eager to try, although he doesn't know much about the local customs in Chaoshan, but he knows everything, everyone wants to have fun!

Wu Chen was delighted to hear these guys yelling in disorder, and felt a little headache, so thank you soon, if you let them mess around, you don't know what kind of chaos it will be!

On the contrary, Wu's father and Wu's mother lived in a five-star hotel for the first time. Walking on the soft carpet, they felt a little trembling in their hearts. They were afraid that they would spend more money on their son.

When my uncle saw them like that, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he unceremoniously made fun of his sister and brother-in-law. Look at your stingy behavior, our Xiaochen is well-developed now, you didn't look at it and bought a new car?Is it comfortable to sit this time?

"Mom and Dad, you can live in peace! I will pick you up tomorrow to see the new house!"

Wu Chen didn't have to burn the buns, the main reason was to let them live in this feeling first, so that when they saw Tian Xingju tomorrow, they wouldn't be too shocked. Speaking of which, my home was much more upscale than this so-called five-star hotel.
