The old patriarch looked at the sky and realized that the time had come.

He said in a deep voice: "Let's start."

He straightened his clothes and called out loudly, "Please come in, Grandpa."

So, a master stood in the middle of the yard holding a sign that read "Jiang Taigong is here, all gods step down."

Song Jinxiu placed fruit offerings in front of the sign and knelt down to kowtow.

After the kowtow, the beam is "wounded".

That is, wrap a piece of red cloth in the middle of the beam, and stick red paper with the words "Green dragon supports the jade pillar, white tiger supports the golden beam" on both ends of the beam with rice soup.

Three more plates of fruit offerings,

Song Jinxiu took a look and saw that the offerings were a bouquet of flowers, a carpenter's inkwell and a bevel.

At this time, the house builder and the carpenter would come up together to light incense and candles, burn paper money, and chant some auspicious words, one by one.

"The world is open, wealth is abundant, and people are strong and powerful. The golden boy and the beautiful girl help to move forward, and the roof is successfully completed, and they gather in the hall..."

After they finished reading, Song Jinxiu kowtowed and she had nothing to do with it.

After Song Jinxiu kowtowed, she supported the clan leader and walked out of the yard.

At this time, the men in the yard who were preparing to put up the beams were already prepared.

With a "rise."

Shouts and firecrackers rang out together

The children who were waiting outside to grab the wedding buns shouted together:

"Building a new house, putting up the main beams, firecrackers exorcise demons, good fortune will last forever, Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, my family is a big landlord..."

Song Jinfang and Xiao Qiu Sheng also started shouting and jumping.

The last part is the children’s favorite part, throwing beams, also known as scattering blessings.

The carpenter stood on the beam with a basket on his shoulder, and threw down from the air sorghum mixed with candy, peanuts, wheat bran and a thumb-sized white flour bun with red dots.

The one spreading blessings shouted: "Spread blessings, may you have a long and happy life, receive blessings, and enjoy all five blessings..."

Song Jinxiu had never seen such a scene before and was very curious. She was also excited by the atmosphere.

It's very lively and festive here.

The atmosphere in the old Song family was very depressed.

Song Dashi was smoking a pipe, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could kill a fly.

Yesterday, after being humiliated at the village head's house, he thought about it all night.

It's not worth going to court with the village head just for a house.

After all, he has been adopted, and it is hard to say whether he can be brought back.

Even if I come back, the house is built on the yard of that unlucky person, and I will have a lot of arguments with the head of the village.

But it's not okay to just let him swallow his anger.

His grandson was adopted without any notice, and he didn't even know about it. This is too bullying!

Originally, he went to the east end that day and saw the yard where a house was being built in full swing.

He was shocked.

When I first saw the village head pulling bricks and tiles, I thought he was going to build two brick and tile houses.

Judging from the movement, maybe the house is not bad. Then, the brick house is just right for Dalang and Erlang to get married.

As for those ungrateful people who can never be tamed, as long as he asks for it, do they dare not give it to him?

As for breaking off the relationship? He just threw those disobedient children out.

He can throw it away, but those children cannot be unfilial.

Since ancient times, fathers have been the leaders of their children. If a father dares to be unfilial, he will be strangled to death.

But unexpectedly, the village head intervened and actually allowed a few stubborn kids to be adopted.

Bah, so shameless, you pick up something that others don’t want and treat it as a treasure?

But Song Dashi was angry and did not sleep all night. He went out for a walk early in the morning and strolled to the new house.

Looking at this magnificent small courtyard, Song Dashi couldn't help but feel jealous again.

This yard is big enough for Dalang and Erlang to get married, and even if their whole family moves in, it is enough to live in.

Well, the old couple lived in the east room of the main house. Dalang was the eldest son and grandson, so the west room had a door facing outwards, which was just right for him to live in.

However, he didn't expect that when he was calculating how to divide the house, the old patriarch stood beside him without him knowing when.

The old patriarch hit him with his walking stick, which scared him.

The old patriarch smiled and asked him, "Shitou, this is my third brother's yard. What are you doing here? Are you missing him? Are you here to chat with him?"

What kind of talk was that? He was talking to someone who had been dead for years? What the hell? It made his scalp tingle in the middle of the day.

Who knew that just as he was feeling terrified, he heard the old patriarch say coldly, "Don't even think about this house. These children have nothing to do with you anymore."

He explained with a smug look, "Uncle clan leader, the children are still young, and I'm worried they won't be able to protect the house. No matter what, I'm their grandfather, so I have to help them, right?"

The clan leader sneered, "It's a broken relationship. If you can force your child to break off the relationship, it means that you, as a grandfather, are unreliable."

With so many people watching him, he felt so ashamed to be scolded by the old patriarch.

This damn old thing, ever since he heard him say that his third brother was doomed to fail, he has disliked me.

You weren't the only one who said that, so why do you always target him?

I didn't want to bother with this old thing, but this new house is really eye-catching.

Just as I was about to say something more, I heard the old patriarch say:

"I'm going to say this today. These children are mine now. Anyone who dares to bully them is showing disrespect to me."

Song Dashi was very angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly in front of this old man, so he could only return home in disgrace.

But when I got home, the more I thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved I became.

It was obvious that those ungrateful people were from the Song family, so those houses should belong to them. Why should they be controlled by these old guys in the clan?

Song Erlang's face was also gloomy. "Master, those bastards can't be let off easily. We have to redeem the reputation of our Song family."

The wound on his leg hasn't healed yet, but the feud has been settled. Song Erlang swore that he would make those bastards pay the price.

Song Dazhu's face was full of questions. "What's going on? Why was he adopted? Could it be that the village head wanted to covet the money of these stubborn people? Then how much money did this nobleman give as a reward?"

To make the village head jealous, it must be more than just a house, right?

"That won't do. How can we let the headman take all the money? This money belongs to our family."

Song Dashi was depressed: "I have seen the adoption documents, and they are stamped with the red official seal. Why do you want it?"

"Are they playing tricks on us? Dad, if it doesn't work out, the four of us brothers can attack them. Are we afraid of them?"

Song Sizhu is Song Dashi's late-born son. He is nineteen years old this year, the same age as Song Dalang. He is already married and rents a house in the county town due to work needs.

Song Sizhu also went to school, but because he disliked literature and liked martial arts, he clamored for Song Dashi to find him a job transporting goods for the Dafeng Escort Agency.

The Song family has its own ox cart. During the slack season every year, he would help the Dafeng Escort Agency deliver goods, which is equivalent to a modern postman or courier.

I had a day off today, and when I got home I heard my parents complaining. They said young people are full of vigor and energy, how could they tolerate such humiliation?

Song Dashi also wanted to fight, it was so frustrating.

But he knew that although the headman had only two sons, they were not to be trifled with.

Song Qingshan is very strong and can knock down a cow. Song Qingshu is nimble and agile, and no one can match him when it comes to climbing mountains and crossing rivers.

As for these ones in my family, he said that they are good at making noise, but if we talk about it seriously, they are no match!
