From the end to the other world

After the construction of the house started, no matter what happened or not, Qin Luochuan had to leave early and return late to guard there.

Shang Qingyue had to go up the mountain to cut firewood every day, and the two met more often. Most of the time, when Qin Luochuan was out, Shang Qingyue just entered the mountain, and the two of them were alone.Occasionally, Shang Qingyue would follow Shang Minghuai by her side.

But no matter what the situation is, the two will stop to say hello, chat for a few words before going to do what they are going to do, and they have a tacit understanding.

The content of the chat also ranged from simple greetings at the beginning, to Qin Luochuan giving Shang Qingyue advice on which mountain has more firewood, and which wild fruits are edible in the mountain.

Qin Luochuan would occasionally bring some snacks back to satisfy Qin Yan's cravings, and if they encountered them, he would also share some with Shang Qingyue.

The three of them met again that day. Qin Luochuan was carrying a bag of candy that was going to be used later, and when he saw the two brothers, he grabbed a handful for each of them.

After learning that Qin Luochuan was going to move to the village soon, the kid Shang Minghuai was quite reluctant, "Then can I still see you in the future?"

Qin Luochuan laughed, touched the top of Shang Minghuai's head and said, "Even if I live at the foot of the mountain, I will be in the village next door to yours. If you miss me, you can come and play anytime."

"Oh." Shang Minghuai replied sullenly, feeling a little disappointed in the end.Recently, my grandmother has become more and more strict. Even if I don't go up the mountain with my third brother, he still has to work at home, so there is no time to play.

Besides, although he is young, because of his living environment, he knows a lot more than children of the same age.It's not a big deal to say hello to each other on the mountain on weekdays. Everyone in the village is like this.

But if he ran to the other party's house to play, there was no reason for this, and he was often taken away by Shang Qingyue, it was inevitable that there would be rumors that would damage the third brother's reputation.

He is sensible enough, which is also the reason why Shang Qingyue is willing to take care of him more. The two brothers, let alone other things, even the matter of knowing Qin Luochuan, have never mentioned it at home in a tacit understanding.

Because each had something to do, Qin Luochuan left without talking too much. The house was going to be erected today, and there were still many things waiting for him to do.

Before the house was built, he really didn't know that there would be so many customs.

The artisans of Shangliang choose the time to worship the gods and hold the ceremony of raising the beams. In addition to the sacrifices needed for worshiping the gods, the host family has to prepare glutinous rice cakes, peanuts and candies. Throw glutinous rice cakes and candies below, ask auspicious words while throwing, and the people in the village will pick up the things thrown down below, and then answer the questions above, it is very lively.

It was midsummer at this moment, and the glutinous rice cakes were not easy to preserve, so they were replaced with rice cakes.A few days ago, Qin Luochuan took the women from Mito Village to help make them. The rice cakes are ready now, and they are ready to be put on the beam.

Most people in the village have limited economic conditions. Even if a family builds a new house, they don't throw many things when they put up the beams.

Qin Luochuan didn't know the situation, and when he knew that he was going to make rice cakes, he foolishly carried a large bag of rice over there, but the rice cakes he made couldn't fit in a basket.

Everyone in the village knows that their family has prepared a lot of rice cakes. The children rushed over after breakfast and waited. lively.

The beams of the house have already been tied with red cloth, and when the auspicious time comes, they can be lifted up to the roof and placed in the correct position.Qin Yan stood guard here in the morning, communicating with the craftsmen about the process of the matter.

As soon as Qin Luochuan arrived, he was dragged to the front of the altar. As the owner of the house, he and Qin Yan had to burn incense and kowtow before proceeding with the next procedure.

After offering sacrifices to the gods, the beams began to be raised. As soon as the time came, the craftsmen lifted the beams and shouted amidst the sound of firecrackers, "It's sunny today, come to the beams. The Lord built the Haohua Hall in the east." The beam is lifted to the roof.

After saying a lot of auspicious words, it was throwing beams, which was also the most lively part of the whole process. The craftsmen took the rice cakes, peanuts and candies they had prepared long ago, and asked the master below, "Want to be rich or rich?" Expensive?"

Qin Luochuan didn't have any obsession with the word rich and honor. For him, it was enough to have a safe place to live and buy the things he wanted with the money he earned.

It's just that this is a process that has been arranged a long time ago, coupled with the warm atmosphere at the scene, after hearing the craftsman's question, Qin Luochuan immediately replied loudly: "We must be rich and expensive."

After hearing his answer, the craftsman grabbed rice cakes, peanuts and candies in turn and threw them at him.The first throw was for the master's family, and no one in the village would snatch it from him. Qin Luochuan himself was very skilled, and with a pull on his clothes, he caught everything thrown by the craftsmen without missing a single thing.

The villagers watching all around exclaimed, pushing the atmosphere to the highest point.

Next, it doesn’t matter who it is given to. The craftsman stands on the roof and asks auspicious words, and the villagers answer the words below. If the craftsman is satisfied, they will throw rice cakes down.And it is thrown in four directions, east, south, north, and west, each implying different blessings.

This link took the longest time. The artisans threw it for half an hour before it was almost over. Qin Luochuan and the others did not finish throwing away the things they had prepared, but kept some. Apart from giving Qin Luochuan and the others, more of it was for the workers to take back. of.

At the end of the beam raising, the children joined in the fun, grabbed some food, and left happily, not to mention the adults, they all went home after the end, and worked hard Gone, only craftsmen and helpers continue to work here.

Craftsmen work on the roof, so they naturally see farther than those who work inside the house. Qin Luochuan was busy passing things up, when he heard someone call him, "Xiao Qin, it seems that you have a visitor at home." .and a lot of presents."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and sighed again: "This is the first time since I left the teacher, someone came to give gifts after finishing the ceremony. The omen is very good."

In fact, there is no custom that it is a good omen when someone comes to give gifts, but no matter who looks at it, they will think it is a good start.

Qin Luochuan was alone, and he hadn't heard from Qin Yan that he had any relatives or friends in the past two years. When the craftsman said that someone was coming to give gifts, he naturally thought of He Feixing who helped him last time.

When he went outside to look, he found that it was indeed He Feixing and Yang Xi who came, and behind them were two servants carrying baskets.

As soon as he saw Qin Luochuan, He Feixing approached him a few steps and said, "I heard that brother Qin's new house was built today, and Yi Zhi and I specially prepared some small gifts. I hope you like it."

"Brother He has a heart," Qin Luochuan asked, seeing He Feixing's happy face, "Is the previous matter resolved?"

"Thanks to you, the matter was successfully resolved." He Feixing said with a smile.

"That's good." Qin Luochuan took He Feixing and Yang Xi to the flat ground next to the house. Qin Luochuan didn't cut down the big tree that had grown there before, and set up a wooden table under the tree with a few benches. Usually when everyone is tired from work, they can come to rest under the tree and drink cold water.

After He Feixing sat down, he looked at the house being roofed by craftsmen, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin plans to catch fire one day, but you must remember to inform Yi Zhi and me so we can come over and ask for a drink."

Qin Luochuan said: "It's tentatively scheduled for the middle of next month, and the exact time will have to wait for someone to read it."

Yang Xi interjected: "In the middle of next month, the [-]th day is a good day. If you ask someone to watch it, it should be on that day."

"That's a good deal," He Feixing said, "Whether it's that day or not, you must tell me to come for a drink."

"If it's really NO.18," Yang Xi asked, "Do you have time?"

He Feixing asked back, "Why is there no time?"

Yang Xi opened his mouth and didn't speak again.

Hearing what they said, Qin Luochuan was afraid that he had business to do, so he said: "Brother He, if you have something to do, please put your own business first. If you want to come to my side, you can come anytime after the house is built. .

"It's not a big deal," He Feixing said with a chuckle, "It's just that after the accident at home, I plan to marry another concubine who has been educated and can read, and then he can help me with business matters. There are already After choosing a candidate, I discussed it with the other party's elder brother, and if there is no accident, I will bring him in on the eighteenth day of next month."

Yang Xi disagreed and said, "Why is it not a big deal?"

He Feixing waved his hand, and said with a smile: "You haven't experienced it, of course you don't know, it's just bringing a concubine in, and you don't need to pay homage, your cousin will make arrangements for everything, I just need to go back to the bridal chamber at night , what a big deal it can be."

What he said was calm and calm, as it should be, Qin Luochuan couldn't help but frown when he heard it. This kind of social environment is indeed the best breeding ground for nurturing scumbags. To be able to say that his wife arranged for him to take a concubine so confidently.

The author has something to say:

"Today it's sunny and come to Shangliang, Lord Dongxiu's Haohuatang" is a eulogy that craftsmen will sing when they are going up Liang. When I was young, I only remembered this sentence when I heard it from the elders. After checking it, I found that there is still a long way to go If you are interested, you can search for it. The whole process of raising the beam is quite interesting~
