Chapter 517 516. A new journey for the development of Tianya Island (seeking Monday on Monday)

   Chapter 517 516. A new journey for the development of Tianya Island (please ask for a ticket on Monday)

  Today’s Tianya Dao is full of friends.

   A lot of cadres from the foreign team came, and they all came to say congratulations.

  In addition, representatives from the educational units in the county and commune came, and some old friends of Wang Xianghong also came. Xu Jinjin, who had not been there for a while, appeared today.

   Xu Jinjin waved when he saw them: “Congratulations, congratulations.”

   “Pharaoh, you are finally starting to stand up. When I came for a drink last year, I said that there is no new house in your team. This year, you have built buildings for the school and buildings for every family, okay!”

  Wang Xianghong was in high spirits, happy in his heart, and laughed again and again: “Isn’t this what you taught me? Make progress, make progress!”

   He went up and patted Xu Jinjin on the shoulder affectionately and said, “This time we have to thank you for building a school and building a house in our team. You have done a great job.”

   “I didn’t say it. After you retire, I will leave you a bedroom at home. After you retire, come to us to spend your old age.”

  Xu Jinjin lifted his belt and said, “Okay, keep it for me, but it won’t be so fast. I have to work for a few more years, and the more I go on, the busier I will be.”

   Wang Xianghong said, “Why is your unit so busy?”

  Xu Jinjin looked around and approached him with a low laugh: “I was working with my colleagues a few years ago, and I’m going to work in the city after the first month.”

   Wang Xianghong asked: “Old unit? What kind of work do you do?”

  Xu Jinjin nodded: “The old unit, the work is the same as in the county, and the position is similar.”

   “The leader of the supply and marketing company in the city?” Wang Xianghong was surprised and delighted.

  Xu Jinjin nodded again: “Well.”

  Wang Xianghong slapped him vigorously: “You bastard, you are still fighting with old comrades and brothers, I didn’t ask you, why don’t you tell me?”

   “But this day will come sooner or later. You have always been an advanced member of your unit, and the province has praised you by name. It’s time for you to go up.”

  Xu Jinjin said: “Grandpa Xiaoqiu also gave me a little effort. This time I really went up, and I went quite a long way.”

   The head of the county branch directly goes to the head of the city company, and the span is very large.

  Wang Yi congratulated him and asked him about his gastrointestinal problems.

  Xu Jinjin was most interested in this topic: “The probiotics and juices you gave me are very good. My gut can’t compare to yours, but it’s much better. Now I’m feeling light.”

   “You can also get stomach medicine, and the old problem of stomach pain and acid reflux is much better.”

  Wang Yi said: “Stomach problems can be cured by three points and seven points. You should pay more attention. You must eat all three meals on time and according to the recipe I introduced.”

   “Eat the recipe I prepared for you today, kill a pig in the morning, and make yourself a pork belly soup.” Wang Xianghong smiled.

  Some cadres from other villages came up to say hello: “What about me? I also brought gifts.”

   Wang Xianghong waved his hand and said, “I have prepared two catties of good wine for you!”

  The cadres of the foreign team who arrived all brought gifts, and Huang Zhiwu from Jinlan Island showed the most enthusiasm.

   He brought a bunch of big red flowers tied with red silk. They were very big. The flowers were as big as an eight-inch cake!

  In the tradition of the outer islands, big red flowers should be put on the beams when the beams are installed. One is to have a saying, and the other is to add more joy.

  In the Chinese society of this era, whether it is inland or by the sea, going up to the beam is a big event.

  The key to building a house in the rural areas of the mainland is “the roof has beams, and the family has grain; the roof has no beams, and the six animals are not prosperous.”

  The outer island area pays attention to “a family must not be without an owner, and a house must not be without beams.”

   Several cadres came one after another, and when they saw Wang Xianghong, they clasped their fists and saluted him and said festive words:

   “Captain Wang, okay, your team has built upstairs. This is for the upstairs beam. It’s the first thing on our outer island.”

   “Let’s go and see what the buildings you built on Tianya Island look like. They are three stories high? Or is it a teaching building?”

   “This is called attaching importance to education. We have to learn from Captain Wang and Teacher Wang. We must all respond to the call of the country and attach importance to children’s education!”

   Listening to their flattering words, Wang Xianghong smiled and couldn’t help showing a smug look: “You guys and those mouths are really sharp.”

   “Our building beams this time is mainly a representative activity, because our production team will build small buildings intermittently in the future. At that time, other houses will not be beamed, and today should be a representative.”

  Huang Zhiwu said: “Then don’t, how can you build a house without a beam?”

   “Old Huang, your family still has relatives in the city, so don’t you understand? Building a building is different from building a bungalow. You don’t need a beam at all.” Ding Deshui, the captain of the Ding family in Duobao Island, said with a smile.

  Huang Zhiwu said in a serious tone: “Can I not know this? My brother-in-law’s house just built a building last year, and the process is clear!”

“If you want to build a building, you need to find a special engineering team, right? People don’t call it construction. They go to inspect your home’s geology first, then measure it, give an architectural drawing, and follow the drawing to make lines and dig the foundation. ”

   “Afterwards, we have to tie steel bars and pour concrete, and finally build brick walls. At the same time, run the lines and install doors and windows according to the wire drawings. After the roof is covered, it is basically the same. Go to paint the exterior and install the glass.”

   He pointed to the three-story building that had already been built and continued: “Well, isn’t this the beginning of painting the exterior?”

  Wang Xianghong handed him a cigarette and said, “Zhi Wu is right, that’s it, but we don’t need to build a foundation to build a house on the top of the mountain, as long as the ground is flat enough.”

  Huang Zhiwu proudly turned the cigarette in his hand and said, “You don’t need to lay the foundation, but you have to get on the beam.”

   “This is a tradition left by our ancestors. It is very particular, right?”

   “Whether you install the beams smoothly is not only related to the firmness of the structure of the house, but also to the prosperity of the generations of the occupants. This is a custom left over thousands of years, so even buildings should be beamed.”

  What Huang Zhiwu said is no problem.

In this era, building a house pays attention to the construction of a house. When the ground is broken, the groundworker is asked to look after the foundation, and the construction can be started only after the good day is selected. When the house is about to be built and ready to be put on the beam, relatives and friends send gifts to celebrate. There are several stages in the whole process. , on the beam, throwing the beam, waiting for the craftsman, etc., pay more attention.

  Wang Xianghong is old-fashioned and respects traditional customs.

   He felt that for Tianya Island and the outer islands, building a building represented the entry into a moderately prosperous society and a new era.

   That’s why he, who has always been low-key, has sent various people to pass the news that the primary school will be completed and put on the beam in the past few days. This must be grand and lively.

   He didn’t do it to show off or show off, but simply because it was a festive event, and it was necessary to create a festive atmosphere.

   He has already planned the whole process of loading the beam.

  The beams are selected. The wood used for the beams on the outer islands is best to use camphor wood, sandalwood or the like. This is the style of the ancient family.

   Needless to say, the process of sending the beam, setting the beam, and throwing the beam, he found a special person to be in charge, and he also made a choice for the finishing work of the craftsman:

   Today, Wang Xiangxiong asked for leave and did not go to work. He was in charge of the lunch banquet together with the two colanders. The production team killed a pig for this.

  Some members of the out-team who came to watch the fun and grab the wedding candy and happy steamed buns came up and asked Wang Xianghong: “Captain Wang, are the beams ready in your team? Why haven’t you seen it?”

   Wang Xianghong said cheerfully: “I’m ready, I’m ready, I’ll lift it up when the auspicious time comes.”

   The beams in the team this time are symbolic. They don’t have to put a main beam on the building, and they don’t have to choose a beam according to the size of the building.

   If you really choose beams and woods, it will be difficult.

   It seems that people from the outer islands have nothing to do with the inland. I don’t know where to go to the forestry lumber factory to buy suitable wood as the main beam, so I can only prepare it myself in the mountains.

  The wood selected for the main beam is very demanding, at least the trunk should be straight without bending, and there will be no traces of bird nesting and insect bites.

   In addition, there is also emphasis on metaphysics. For example, it is taboo to use a tree with one root, like a pine tree, why is it straight and strong but cannot be selected as the main beam? It is a root.

  This kind of tree as the main beam means that the host family has only one heir, and the Chinese-style family leader pays attention to spreading branches and leaves, which is naturally not good.

   But Wang Yi feels that the country has a family planning policy in this era, and it is good to only have one, so it is also good to use a tree with one root as the main beam.

   This emphasis is in line with the needs of national policy and propaganda.

  It is not only the cadres and members of the foreign team who came to Tianya Island today, but also the teachers of Tianya Elementary School. All the teachers have come, including Li Yanjing, who has just been selected and transferred this semester.

  The teachers stood together looking forward to this three-story building. This is their future work place and their main battlefield.

   Yang Wenrong sighed: “Our school is developing so fast, and now there are even buildings.”

   “There’s more than one building.” Sun Zhengnan was also very emotional, “When we first came, our primary school was really bad.”

   Mao Haibo, who was invited by Li Yanjing to watch the new school, said: “When you came, it was already good. Only when Mr. Wang was there, the conditions in your school were difficult.”

   The Jinlan Island where he is located is not far from Tianya Island, so he has to deal more or less on weekdays.

   Only Mao Haibo has seen Tianya Primary School in dilapidated state. At that time, it was no longer able to accommodate students, so students had to go to Shuihua Primary School next door to borrow.

   His feelings are deeper than others.

   Tianya Elementary School, which was shabby a year ago, has now changed its appearance and built a building.

   It is said that their carpentry team is still working overtime to make new desks and chairs. After entering the new school, the students no longer have to use the same brick-built desks as before.

  The brick table is cold in winter and hot in summer, and it cannot be moved and the height is the same, which makes it uncomfortable for students to use.

   Among the many teachers, Li Yanjing is the happiest: “This semester starts, so I can teach here? That’s great!”

  Wang Yi said: “It’s really good, but at the beginning of the new semester, you can’t teach in the teaching building.”

   Li Yanjing was startled, and hurriedly asked: “Principal, didn’t I transfer to your school? Didn’t I need to take the Chinese homework for the first grade? Why, why didn’t you let me teach?”

   Wang Yi said: “Because we can’t use the teaching building directly at the beginning of the new semester, we can only use it after the teaching building is air-dried.”

  Li Yanjing breathed a sigh of relief.

   I thought I was kicked by another school!

   Mao Haibo quite envied him.

  The two of us are about the same height and weight, and we look like half a catty. Even our skills are similar. You can suona and I can erhu, but why is there such a big gap between our fates?

  Other private teachers will be jealous of Li Yanjing.

   Mao Haibo is friends with him after all, and he is just ‘very envious’.

  Those teachers who had nothing to do with Li Yanjing were jealous when they learned that this unremarkable boy could enter Tianya Elementary School as a teacher.

  Tianya Island has good conditions. Being a teacher not only has good food and housing, more benefits, and high salary, but more importantly, the chance of becoming a teacher in Tianya Primary School is higher.

  Wang Yi greeted Xu Heng and Sun Zhengnan: “Have you found your squad leader’s family?”

  Xu Heng nodded and said, “I found it in the twelfth lunar month. We both gave them the allowances, veterans’ fees and income from the previous two semesters.”

  Sun Zhengnan added: “It’s mainly because our sister-in-law’s brother is going to do a small business in Pengcheng. We just need the money, so we will give it to her.”

  Wang Yi asked: “Did they live well?”

Sun Zhengnan said: “Last year was not very good at the beginning, and it was difficult to eat. Later, I went to Pengcheng. There are many opportunities in Pengcheng. There are construction sites everywhere. They work as casual workers in the canteen of the construction site. Much better.”

“Speaking of this, they would also like to thank a pork seller. Before, our sister-in-law’s brother bought pork at the county market, and a pork seller told him that now there are more opportunities in Pengcheng and Yangcheng, and they have lived in the county. If you can’t go down, you can try it.”

   “In the end, they passed, went directly to Pengcheng, and then found a living and earned money, and they lived a good life.”

  Xu Heng sighed: “Damn, we really can’t underestimate the working people because of their culture. The leaders are right, the wisdom of the working people is infinite!”

   “Look, everyone who kills pigs knows that Pengcheng and Yangcheng have many opportunities to make money and live a good life!”

  Huang Yougong laughed at him: “What kind of culture are we? Teacher Wang, Teacher Sha, and Teacher Zhu are really literate!”

  Sha Shengquan and others waved their hands modestly.

  Wang Yi was lost in thought.

  The words of Sun Zhengnan and Xu Heng plucked his heartstrings, setting off a storm in the sea of ​​his memory.

   He vaguely remembered that when he was selling pork, he once instructed a man to go to Pengcheng to seek a living…

   At this moment, cheers suddenly came from the mountain road: “The beam is made, the beam is made!”

  Wang Xianghong raised his wrist to look at the time, with a look of anticipation on his face: “Okay, it’s a good time!”

  The preparatory work before going to the beam has begun, let’s send the beam.

   Hair beams should be called cutting beams. According to tradition, the first step in setting beams is to choose beams, and choose a tree as a wooden beam.

   After the selection, you should hang red cloth and firecrackers on the tree, and wait until a good day for felling trees to cut down the tree. This process is cutting beams.

   However, because “cutting” and “fa” have the same pronunciation, the original meaning is to cut wood to make beams, but the people of the outer islands call them hair beams in order to seek auspiciousness, which means big hair on the beam.

   Boldly led a group of burly and strong men in the construction team up the mountain road with steady and heavy footsteps.

   Eight men lifted a sturdy beam.

   A red cloth was tied in the middle of the big beam, and a piece of red paper was attached to the beam, with the words “Shangliang Daji” written in four strong and powerful characters.

  Huang Yougong looked at these four characters and smiled.

   This is his masterpiece.

   When they walked up the mountain road to the top of the mountain and saw the teaching building of the school, they changed their numbers and called the upper beam number:

   “Liang’s hair is a thousand years rich, and Liang Wei’s hair is ten thousand years old. If you ask Xingdong, if you want to be rich, you need to be expensive…”

“The first is to have a large family and a thousand mouths, the second is to keep the family safe, the third is to have a thousand births, the fourth is to be blessed by the emperor, the fifth is to have a good harvest, and the sixth is… After the lotus leaves, Luban, and Duke Yang celebrate, the wealth is prosperous for thousands of years. long!”

  Many members of the community on Tianya Island surrounded the handsome men, and the students were even more active in running.

   They know that their classroom is complete after the beam is installed.

   They knew they would have a bright new classroom soon.

   is the kind of new classroom in a building that can be used by classmates in the city that I have seen in books and TV movies.

   So they were even more anxious about the construction process than adults, and when they could finally put the beams on today, they were even more excited than adults.

   They are not busy for Xitang Ximantou, but for their new class.

   At this time, adults are naturally more busy than children. There is a saying in the outer islands, which is called “building a house and a boat, and staying up all day and night”.

  Whether it’s building a house or building a new boat, this is the busiest thing in life. Today, the island is very lively, and many members are busy.

When the    beams were delivered, some elderly people went to post couplets on both sides of the gate of the teaching building.

   But the couplet is not ready yet.

   It’s just that a long table is prepared at the gate of the teaching building, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are placed on the long table.

   Next it was Huang Yougong’s turn to play.

   He imitated the posture of the ancients, walked behind the table with a pen in one hand and a tin jug in the other, raised his head and ‘gudugudu’ was a big mouthful of spirits.

  The spirits entered his throat and he shouted “Okay”, licked the tip of the brush with his mouth, and when he was full of ink, he lifted the pen to fly:

  Building a new house, everything goes smoothly, and the beams rise step by step.

   This couplet was taken away, and he picked up a pen and wrote a new couplet:

  The Weiwei college is full of culture, and Xue Tianying attended the champion!

   After writing these two couplets, he still looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: “And there are thousands of mansions, and the world will be blessed with joy!”

   Wang Modou and his wife in the crowd kept scratching their scalps.

  The embarrassed scalp is about to run away from home.

   This relative of my own family is really… so what!

   But many people felt that Huang Yougong’s performance was very literate and elegant, and they all applauded and shouted: “Okay!”

  Huang Yougong saw that many people applauded him, and he was in high spirits and was ready to make two more embarrassing sentences by drinking alcohol.

  Wang Yi hurriedly dragged him away and said, “Painting couplets, on the beam, that Mr. Li and Mr. Mao, don’t you have some special skills? Show it off!”

  Li Yanjing took out the suona from the cloth bag and Mao Haibo showed the erhu, one puffed his cheeks and the other shook his head, and then a high-pitched and cheerful tune spread into the crowd.

  The members were happy to hear it, and they all applauded and shouted: “Okay!”

  Li Yanjing and Mao Haibo were also inspired, and the tune changed again and again, followed by cheerful music.

  Most people don’t understand suona music, so they ask: “What is this playing?”

   “Mr. Wang, you are well-informed, do you know that?”

  Wang Yi said proudly: “Let’s not say anything else, comrades, I’m a pinch of music, whether it’s a suona song or an erhu song, I’ll definitely be able to say the name of the song right after listening to it.”

   “Why am I a little unbelievable?” Xu Heng wondered, “It’s not that I can’t trust you, principal, the main reason is that it’s a bit powerful—what kind of song do you think it is?”

  Wang Yi immediately said: “”Hundred Birds Chaofeng”!”

  Xu Heng blinked and asked, “Oh, this is “Hundred Birds Chaofeng”.”

   Many people nodded.

   Maybe you haven’t heard the tune of “Hundred Birds Chaofeng”, but at least they have heard the name.

   But most of you haven’t heard “A Hundred Birds Chaofeng”, Huang Yougong heard it and said: “Impossible, this is not “A Hundred Birds Chaofeng”!”

   He said this with certainty, but he still asked Qiu Weishui with his eyes.

  Because Mr. Xiaoqiu is now obsessed with music, he has studied the musical instruments of the eighteen classes.

It turned out that he asked the right person, and Qiu Weishui said: “The front is “Welcome to Spring”, and the next is “Celebrating Victory”, right? They played well, but the tune was not particularly precise, so I may be wrong already.”

   Everyone looked at Wang Yi suspiciously.

  Who is right?

  Wang Yi said calmly, “Mr. Xiaoqiu is right.”

   “Then you swore just now that it was “Hundred Birds Chaofeng”?” Xu Heng asked, rolling his eyes.

  Wang Yi became more calm: “Do you think I just said a name after listening to the suona song?”

   “Is “Hundred Birds Chaofeng” a name, did I say it all at once?”

   Xu Heng, such a shameless person, was stunned that he would not be able to fix it.

  The red couplets are pasted on the front door and the back door—there is a door in the front and rear of the hall on the ground floor of the teaching building.

   So there was music, applause, and laughter at the scene, and now there are couplets, and the festive atmosphere is even stronger.

  The men lifted the beams to the roof.

  As they climbed higher step by step, Wang Xianghong waved his hand and shouted, “Sayun Cake!”

  This cloud cake is actually a rice cake, but here it is called cloud cake, step by step to climb to the top of Qingyun.

   A row of people stood up from the top of the building, each with a basket in the crook of his arm, and threw a small piece of rice cake wrapped in oiled paper down.

  The people on the ground cheered and started to snatch. Even the leading cadres from the commune and the county were no exception, and they followed suit.

  School This is the place where Zhuang Yuanlang is born, and it is a place to learn knowledge. The things scattered on the first day of the school are all with a sense of style.

  The old carpenter Wang Xiang sang his praises and shouted: “There is a golden rooster crowing below, and a phoenix is ​​making trouble above. At this time, it is on the beam – okay!”

   The crowd of onlookers shouted in unison while grabbing the cloud cake: “Good! Good!”

  The beam was lifted to the top of the building and was about to fall. Wang Xianghong waved his hand again, and Wang Dongxi led someone to set off firecrackers.

   At least twenty firecrackers were set off in a circle.

   In the crackling sound, the smoke of gunpowder spreads out, and the whole island is smelled by the sea breeze.

   When the firecrackers are over, children flock to pick up firecrackers.

  The adults hurriedly stopped them, it was still very dangerous at this time, there were always firecrackers to delay the explosion.

   The engineer of the China Construction Construction Team shouted for help:

   “The sound of firecrackers opens the beam, and the mansion is completed. The owner is busy. Lucky stars shine brightly, the God of Wealth arrives, and the money is counted throughout the year. The beams are tied at both ends of the red rope, and step by step, the owner is sprinkled with candy fragrance, and the children and grandchildren live in new houses…”

   King Xiang Hong then shouted: “Sow! Sweep hard!”

  The people on the roof changed the bamboo baskets and began to sprinkle happy candy, happy steamed buns and cigarettes, as well as boxes of cigarettes.

   is certainly the cheapest economical cigarette.

   And this whole box of cigarettes is already the biggest and most anticipated prize, and the competition is also the most fierce. Some people are directly tearing it up to fight…

   Seeing this scene, Ma Liu, who was smiling and watching the excitement, quickly shouted: “Toss a handful of candy to the east, and pick up gold and silver treasures…”

   As he shouted, he beckoned the people on the roof to change positions to throw small gifts. The people on the roof understood what he meant and threw them to the east together, causing the crowd to flow east.

   The people who had a conflict like this were all swept away by the crowd.

  Ma Liu continued to shout: “Tossing a handful of candy to the west, the children and grandchildren are of high character and knowledge.”

  The people on the roof began to change positions again, and the crowd flowed like waves.

   “Toss a handful of candy to the south, and friends and relatives give their hearts!”

   “Throw a handful of candy to the north, and the four seasons will be safe and disasters will be eliminated!”

   “On the auspicious day of the zodiac, every family on the outer islands has a good son!”

   Hearing Ma Liu’s rhythmic shouting, everyone rushed for things to admire his eloquence.

   When he finished his last sentence, whether it was from Tianya Island or the foreign team, in short, the people at the scene shouted to him: “Okay!”

  Wang Yi praised: “Six sons’ brains and mouths are slippery, so he should be in charge of shouting on the beam.”

  Wang Xianghong said: “I’m thinking about the matter of going up the beam and I have to find an expert, someone’s engineer – forget it, forget it, don’t talk about it, it’s good!”

  Huang Yougong nodded and said: “Six sons are really good, especially the last sentence is the finishing touch. It reminds me of the famous saying that Armstrong said in 1969-”

   “That’s one small step for me, but one giant leap for mankind!”

  Wang Yi couldn’t help but glance at him:

  Mr. Huang, did you drink fake wine today?

  Ma Liu said with a smile and was about to go back, but a member of the commune beside him grabbed him, pushed him forward and shouted, “A few more words!”

   “That’s right, Liuzi, don’t go, keep talking!”

   “The old nine can’t go, and the old six can’t go either!”

   “Six sons, you have to keep letting them sprinkle candy and steamed buns!”

  Ma Liu was pushed to the front of the crowd, and he modestly waved his hand to indicate that he had nothing to say.

   Wang Xianghong also booed at this time: “A Liu, please say a few more words, and a little gift!”

   The leader spoke, and Ma Liu was no longer polite.

  He waved his hand to the east again in high spirits: “Throw the beam to the east, the sunrise in the east is full of red…”

   “Throw the beam to the north, every rice warehouse is full every year…”

   “Throw the beam to the west, every time students get good grades in the exam…”

   “Throw the beam to the south, and the outer islands will replace the champion…”

   The people who grabbed the small gifts below were happy to hear it, and the people on the roof were dancing.

   Both the people above and the people below were so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths, so the people above didn’t throw it away, they just put their hands as a shovel into the bamboo basket and shoveled pastries, candies, hi steamed buns and cigarettes straight out.

   So all kinds of sweets, snacks, cigarettes and other things fell from the sky, and the old people, adults and children cheered and scrambled.

   This time, the crowd spread out, and the grabs were evenly distributed, and there would be no more trouble.

  Wang Yi went and grabbed the toffee, and directly opened a piece and put it in his mouth to eat it, and then peeled off another piece and took away Qiuweishui and stuffed it into Qiuweishui’s mouth.

  The two looked outside the crowd.

   Looking at this beaming scene, I felt beaming in my heart.

   The crowd was crowded and lively, and Lao Huang and Xiao Huang were also grabbing from the crowd.

   They specialize in grabbing the happy steamed buns, and they shoved them into their mouths and quickly swallowed them. Old Huang rolled his eyes, but he still didn’t give up and still had to grab them.

   And the elders are the most fierce, adults and children can’t even rob them, but children also have an advantage. They are not afraid of tigers when they are born, and they are brave enough to dare to take food from the mouth of the little yellow people.

   Fortunately, Lao Huang and Xiao Huang have been trained by the students.

   When they go to school, students will feed them, especially when they eat lunch such as stewed chicken, fried chicken or spare ribs, students will feed them bones.

At that time, the food-protecting habits of the little yellows were changed, so now some students are pinching their mouths to pick out happy steamed buns, and they usually struggle to run away, at most whimpering to scare people, but they don’t really bite people. .

  The old carpenter Wang Xiang led his two sons and apprentices to work on the roof:

   Draw small black triangles on both ends of the beam, draw two beards on the top corners of the small triangles, connect the small triangles at both ends with ink lines, and hang red and green silk strips in the middle to nail the navel of the iron beam…

   Qiu Weishui looked up with relish and asked, “What is Uncle Gao painting?”

  Wang Yi shook his head, he didn’t know either.

   On the other hand, Huang Yougong understood, and said firmly: “This is inviting Luban. Those two little triangles symbolize Luban. Do you see that beard? That is Luban’s beard.”

   “The long ink line in the middle commemorates Lu Ban’s mother, because the ink bucket was invented by Lu Ban’s mother…”

   Then he said to the left and right: “Lu Ban is the ancestor of our Chinese carpenters, so when the carpenter builds the house, he must let the ancestors stand tall, which means that the teacher will always be respected and respect the teacher!”

  Yang Wenrong nodded seriously: “So it is, I learned.”

   Li Yanjing, who was breathing heavily for a rest, was full of grief and indignation: “I really should go to our Duobao Primary School and tell the students about this allusion. Those students don’t respect the teacher at all!”

  Xu Heng laughed here: “I have a pair of sunglasses, do you want to give Lu Ban a fashion?”

  Sun Zhengnan scolded him: “You don’t come here, the dog has long horns, you will make a fool of yourself, let’s be honest, we are here to witness the completion of the primary school today.”

  The upper beam is now over.

  Wang Yi went to Wang Xianghong’s house to have a look. Several tables were temporarily propped up in the yard of his house, while several cauldrons were propped up in the yard of the neighbor’s house.

   As the saying goes, the little girl is looking forward to the New Year, and the brick and carpenter is looking forward to making the beam on the house.

   Next, there will be a feast for the construction team and the carpentry team.

   Of course, the banquets for leaders and guests are also indispensable.

  The smoke on the top of the mountain is gone, and it is time to eat lunch at the beginning of noon.

  Wang Xianghong, Wang Yi and others stood at the door to greet the guests to enter, and the smell of the food next door had already wafted into the room.

  The construction team workers sat at three tables, the leading cadres had one table, the seniors in the production team were invited to one table, the carpentry team and the helpers had another table, the teachers also had their own table, and the yard was full of friends.

  Wang Yichong shouted next door: “It’s time to cook!”

   The next door was busy immediately, and some women brought up plates of dishes, which were very rich.

   The weather is still cold, so there are few cold dishes. There are four cold, eight hot, four soups, a total of sixteen dishes.

   Roast Chicken, Roast Duck, Braised Pork, Fried Fish, Fried Chicken, Chicken Soup, Pork Mix Soup, Seafood Soup, etc.

  The table is full of delicious food, full of color, flavor, and mouthwatering.

  Liquor is the essence of grain brought by the sales department, as well as the beer bought by Wang Xianghong in the department store in advance, and the rice wine brought by Xu Jinjin.

   But most people on the outer islands don’t like to drink beer, especially now that the weather is still cold and the workers like to drink liquor.

   Intense, strong, and warm.

   Teachers and teachers like to drink rice wine.

  Heat a pot of rice wine on the stove, add some red dates, **** slices and wolfberry to it, which is very nourishing.

   If you add a few rock sugar to it, it will taste even better.

  The workers drink in a rough manner. After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, they got up one after another to toast among the workers, and then went to accompany Wang Xianghong and the older generation to drink.

   They enlivened the drinking atmosphere, some squinted their eyes and shouted, some held a wine glass in one hand and clapped their chests and shouted at you brother and my brother.

   Eat and drink from the beginning of noon, until the sun is in the west, the feast is not scattered, all the wine is hot, and everyone is very drunk.

  Wang Yi filmed all these scenes with a camera, and secretly installed a video recorder to record it.

  He wanted to remember this passionate age.

   As time passes, the past will drift away like a broken kite drifting into the wind, but as long as there are imprints, these past events will not be forgotten, but will only be washed away by the quicksand of the years.

  In this way, every time you recall them in the future, you will make ripples in your memory, allowing people to reminisce about these good times for the rest of their lives.

   Memories are a treasure.

   should not be wasted.
