I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 311 Successfully Raising the Beam

Liu Xiaoxiao followed Zhu Yun towards the new house, observing what the people around them were busy with as they walked.

"Xiaoxiao, look, after our new house is built, won't we become the most magnificent family in the village?" Zhu Yun's face was full of longing.

Liu Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, "Of course not, but Mom, I want to keep a piece of land in the yard so I can build a small workshop in the future. Is that okay?"

"No..." Zhu Yun said seriously.

Liu Xiaoxiao asked disappointedly: "Why?"

Zhu Yun: "Because your grandpa has already built one for you! Why is it not enough?"

Liu Xiaoxiao was so surprised that she instantly recovered and asked happily, "Really? Where is it? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Zhu Yun was just about to give her a good talk when Zhang Xiujuan started calling for help again.

"Xiao girl, didn't you say you wanted to see how they put up the beams? Why don't you come over quickly? They're about to start."

"Okay, grandma, I'll be right there." Liu Xiaoxiao agreed happily.

Then he said to Zhu Yun, "Mom, tell me later! I'm going to watch the fun first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away the next second.

In the past, Zhu Yun might have told her to be careful and behave like a lady.

Now she doesn't want to care about it at all. Ever since she fled the famine, this girl has long lost the temperament of a lady.

As soon as she stepped into the new house, Liu Xiaoxiao actually saw two short men feeding a rooster something in front of the house.

Liu Xiaoxiao became curious when she saw this.

Most of the people here have gone into the main house to watch the fun, so why are these two still here playing with chickens? Don't tell me they are just like the original owner before she came here...

"Hey! What are you feeding it?" Liu Xiaoxiao walked over quietly and asked.

The two men seemed to have noticed her a long time ago. When she asked, they were not scared by her voice and even answered her, "Wine!"

"Why, you want to try it too?"

Liu Xiaoxiao: …

Feeding the chicken with wine is so exciting.

She was about to say yes when the man said, "Okay, it's almost done, let's take it in!"

Another person: "Okay, you go first. I'll put this bowl away and then I'll go over."

Just like that, the two of them went their separate ways as if the little girl Liu Xiaoxiao didn't exist.

Fortunately, the man who took the chicken went into the house, and Liu Xiaoxiao followed him in.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw the man holding the chicken actually put the chicken, which was filled with wine, on a piece of wood wrapped in red paper.

And that piece of wood is obviously the protagonist of today!

Liu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "This guy is being mean, and he's even doing it right in front of me. No, I have to go up and get that chicken."

But as soon as she moved, Grandma Liu grabbed her arm and asked, "Why are you here just now? The previous ceremony is over, and now the beams are about to be raised. Where are you going?"

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the main beam that was about to rise and hurriedly explained to Grandma Liu: "Grandma, I just saw that the chicken was drunk. I have to go over quickly and get it down."

Seeing this, Grandma Liu didn't dare to let go and said, "Just watch here and don't do anything rash."

Liu Xiaoxiao murmured doubtfully, "Is giving the chicken wine as part of the ritual?"

Zhang Xiujuan did not answer, but just looked up along with everyone else, following the rise of the main beam.

Soon, people passing by on both sides of the beam carefully pulled it up, and everyone successfully saw the main beam that was firmly erected.

Perhaps the villagers were only concerned about whether today's beam-raising ceremony went smoothly, and Liu Xiaoxiao didn't even hear a few people chatting.

Now, the beam had just been placed when people around started talking, "Did you all see that? The rooster didn't crow just now!"

Someone standing nearby watching the fun replied, "I saw it, but why aren't you cheering? Doesn't this just prove that today is a good day for raising the beam? It's a good omen."

"Yes, the fireworks are about to go off. Do you think the chicken will be scared and fly down?"

"I guess so."
