Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

The Gastrodia elata was washed the first day, and the next day Liu Hongjun led people to put the Gastrodia elata into a pot and cook it with water. Then he asked the women to go home and get a kitchen knife and chopping board to cut all the Gastrodia elata into slices.

It took me four days of busy work to get rid of all the forest frogs and gastrodia elata.

Liu Hongjun saw that everyone's enthusiasm for climbing the mountain had not subsided, so he took Qian Shengli and the three of them into the mountain again and dug back all the Gastrodia elata that they found last time.

That valley is really a treasure. There are a lot of forest frogs in the river. After so many days, there are still many forest frogs crawling out of the river and running into the mountains and forests.

Although not as many as last time, Liu Hongjun and the others still caught two sacks of forest frogs.

This time, naturally, those who were driven away last time were asked to come over and help with the work.

With the Gastrodia elata dug for the second time being processed, Liu Hongjun's house construction returned to normal.

The women in the village still go into the mountains from time to time to pick wild vegetables and other mountain products, but the men have all come back.

After all, it has been raining for more than ten days, and most of the mushrooms, fungus, and other things in the nearby mountains have been collected. The remaining wild vegetables are not worthy of the gentlemen going up the mountain.

Only when it rains next time will everyone go into the mountains again.

Qian Shengli also began to be busy in Xishan.

Xishan Pig Farm started construction after Liu Hongjun laid the foundation for his new house, and now the foundation is almost done.

Unlike Liu Hongjun's house, at the Xishan Pig Farm, everyone who works is paid a salary, with small workers earning 1.5 yuan a day and large workers earning 3 yuan a day.

This salary is not low in Yushutun. If it weren't for so many people there, I'm afraid there really wouldn't be many people left on Liu Hongjun's side.

The father-in-law is responsible for the overall coordination. In addition to the big workers, the small workers come in turns throughout the village.

However, this did not have a great impact on Liu Hongjun.

Even though the pig farm was in full swing, it did not affect Liu Hongjun's side at all.

Everyone will take time to come and work with Liu Hongjun for two days.

This is repaying a favor.

The favors that Father Liu has accumulated in Yushutun over the past twenty years.

Needless to say, Liu Hongjun said that everyone has an account in mind.

Therefore, on Liu Hongjun's side, although people are replaced almost every day, the construction has never stopped.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to go to the girder.

Lifting the beams is the most important step in building a house in rural areas, and it is also the most exciting time to build a house.

You need to be optimistic about the day and time in advance when lifting beams.

This is the most important moment of the day, because the beam is the core of the entire house, and its position and stability directly affect the structural safety of the entire house.

In rural areas, there are usually some sacrificial activities before the beam is laid.

Liu Hongjun also prepared a big rooster, a pig's head, a fish, as well as incense burners, incense, firecrackers and other sacrificial tributes in advance.

It has to be said that sacrifices have been passed down for thousands of years and have penetrated deep into the souls of the people. Except for the special period of ten years, no one dared to perform sacrifices in public.

Now, just after the reform and opening up, sacrificial activities immediately reappeared, and even became more and more intense.

Even if the captains of various production teams shout on the loudspeakers to break down feudal superstitions, no one cares, and they will continue to worship as they should.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the captains, commune cadres, and family members who broadcast propaganda on loudspeakers every day went to perform sacrifices, and even they themselves participated in the sacrifices.

After looking for someone to look forward to the future, Liu Hongjun notified several big craftsmen in the village in advance to come over and help with the beam.

On the day of Liang Liang, the sun had just risen, and the clouds in the sky were still cold from last night.

The northern hillside was full of people, and there was a warm atmosphere.

Because it was Sunday, the naughty children in the village did not go to school, so the north hillside was particularly lively.

Under the guidance of the old people in the village, after offering incense and paying tribute, the beam began to be mounted. Seven or eight laborers from the village carried the main beam, which was tied with red cloth.

The strong laborers lifted it up step by step along the built shelf.

There were seven or eight strong laborers standing on the wall above the house, and they used ropes to pull it up.

Without a crane, we can only use this stupidest method to raise the beam. This method has been used for thousands of years.

There were people shouting slogans nearby:

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey!

Hey yo, hey yo!

Everyone works hard!

Hey yo, hey yo!

Come on, be an old guy!

Hey yo hey, hey yo!

Let’s move a crane together!

Hey yo, hey yo!

Here it comes!

Hey yo, hey yo!

Shouting slogans, working hard up and down to pull up the main beam.

After the main beam was put up, the master bricklayer confirmed that the placement was accurate and fixed, and then started setting off firecrackers.

As soon as the firecrackers went off, it suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy for the children.

A group of naughty children were not afraid of being blown up by firecrackers. They gathered around the firecrackers and waited for them to finish setting off before picking up the silent firecrackers.

This squib is an indispensable source of happiness for naughty children in their childhood.

After the firecrackers were over, the master bricklayer standing on the roof and wall took out the wedding candies and cakes that Liu Hongjun had prepared long ago and began to scatter them.

Everyone came to see the excitement and waited for this moment.

A group of young and old swarmed forward to pick up wedding candies and wedding cakes.

Liu Hongjun took out the cigarettes he had prepared and started giving them to the people in the village.

Anyone who comes, except children, will be given a cigarette by Liu Hongjun.

After taking the cigarette, everyone consciously left the yard.

What was just installed is only the main beam, and there is not only one beam in a house.

Therefore, everyone has to continue to take the beam.

However, there will be no more whips and wedding candies on the upper beam at the back.

After working until night, the beams of the five main rooms in the north room were only halfway up.

It's not that everyone is lazy, but that this purely manual way of raising the beam consumes too much energy. For the sake of safety, Liu Hongjun not only did not dare to rush everyone, but instead repeatedly told everyone to slow down.

After every few beams, Liu Hongjun asked everyone to take a break, smoke a cigarette and drink some water.

In the evening, Liu Hongjun held a banquet at home to entertain everyone.

Liu Hongjun usually has three meals a day, and the meal in the evening will be more generous. He is responsible for the wine.

When it was time to serve, the banquet in the evening was even more sumptuous. Liu Hongjun asked Liu Zhaodi to prepare ten dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, so that the wine would be sufficient and the rice would be full.

In this way, it took five days of continuous work to finish all the beams in the eighteen houses.

Next, it’s up to the tiles.

In fact, there are several processes before installing tiles, including nailing wooden supports between the beams, then making a waterproof layer, and finally installing the tiles.

Liu Hongjun didn't know much about it, so he was responsible for preparing the materials, and then giving cigarettes to the workers on the construction site.

Sprinkle it once every one or two hours.

Wrapping and tiles is a very important process. Liu Hongjun was worried about problems, so he could only use smoke to remind everyone to work more carefully.

"Red Army, you don't have to worry, we guarantee that we will work in a bright and open environment for you, and there will be absolutely no leaks!" A group of bricklayers working on the work joked with Liu Hongjun with a smile.
