Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Chapter 124

After the May Festival, the north also ushered in the early summer, and the weather was getting better every day. On the third day of the May Festival, it rained, and it rained heavily all day.

"It's time for the seedlings to emerge this time." Shi Hongda looked at the rain outside and heaved a sigh of relief.

In spring in the north, there is little rain, and it is easy to be dry, especially at this time, if the drought is severe, it will affect the seeds that go down in the ground, and the seedlings will not germinate, and there will be no rain for the seedlings. Water it, and it will wither and die.

"Well, it's still very good." Yu Liangji also followed him to look at the scenery outside the window. There was no charm of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, only the preciousness of spring rain in the north.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the field to have a look. If it's possible, I have to quickly arrange manpower to shovel the ground, and I need to find an engineering team to come over and pick up the house to build the house." Shi Hongda made a calculation. After the festival, it's time to start construction.

"Okay, take 1000 taels, don't be reluctant to spend money, I thought about it, let's turn the old lunatic into a ancestral hall." Yu Liangji had already planned.

When he moved, he personally brought the memorial tablet of the Yu family and placed it in his study in the main house. Anyway, the original memorial tablet of the Yu family was also placed in the original owner's study.

But after all, it was a bit nondescript. The old house was built with a new one, so he planned to turn it into a ancestral hall, so as not to lose the value of the old house, but also to make him feel better.

It is not good to live in an empty house, but who will live in it?

It is also not allowed for outsiders to enter, and it is only appropriate to change it into an ancestral hall.

The next day when the rain stopped, Shi Hongda rode his horse to the county seat again. The horse was used to running, so it didn't need Shi Hongda to chase it, it started to run with the horse behind it.

Yu Liangji held on to the door frame and couldn't help laughing.

Yu Baobao was still clapping beside him.

Shi Hong, who was going away on horseback, raised his forehead.

The engineering team came very quickly. Anyway, it was agreed a long time ago, but Sister Guo had to give people a holiday and let them go home for the holidays. After the holidays, they came to work again.

This time they have to cook by themselves, because they have to shovel the land, except for the engineering team of the imperial court, everyone else has temporarily suspended work, and they all went home to take care of the land.

In their eyes, making money is not as important as food.

You can work part-time to make money while farming, but you will definitely not farm while part-time.

What is the use of gold and silver?

Without food, you can’t buy food and clothing even if you have money!

Yu Liangji was willing to eat and drink. They pitched a tent in the open space at the west end of the village. Yu Liangji bought a pig to add food to them, and sent Shi Hongda there.

After all, no matter how much vegetable oil is added, it is different from meat oil.

The engineering team was divided into two groups, one group was rebuilding old houses, and the other group was building a school in the open space in front of their homes. The villagers were a little bit arguing about it. After all, the house had just been built, so what was going on?

But seeing that the ground is about to be shoveled and weeded, I don’t have that much leisure, and after the seedlings emerge, some seeds are broken, or the seeds are eaten by things, and the places that have not sprouted are all needed. Their replanting is a trivial job that requires people to walk in the fields with far-sighted, accurate and clear eyesight.

Shi Hongda did the work for their family. He traveled all over his land, replanted some corn and peanuts, and also cut down the potato seedlings. If there were too many, it would not be able to grow big.

The old house originally had a foundation, and it was quickly built. There are two green brick and tile houses, one is smaller for storing incense, candles, papers and other items, and the other is for larger ones, which are used for alcoves, tables and other items. Let go of the spirit.

The school in front was also built in the style of a courtyard house. On the day when the beam was erected, the villagers came one by one because they were busy, but it was also very lively.

Especially on the courtyard side, the old village head was there personally, and he showed his toothache cheerfully when he saw the girders were put on.

"Old village chief, did you eat bee excrement?" Someone who didn't understand teased the old man.

"Go, go, go! What do you know? This is the elementary school that Yu Juren built for our village, where children read."

The old village head was very emotional. When he went to the public school in Zhangjia Village, he knew a few words, and they didn't plan to teach more.

He understands that people with different surnames are not willing to deal with them, not to mention that Shibalipu has always had a bad reputation.

If it hadn't been for Yu Juren, he didn't know if he would see a school in his village in his life.

"What is this?" Those who heard it couldn't believe it, thinking they were hallucinating.

"School, we have our own school in Shibalipu. Yu Juren has already found civil and military talents. When the school is completed, we will come over." The old village head knocked on the cigarette bag and pot: "So, listen to me, all of you, Xiao Juren is the only one in our village, and we can only get better if he gets better, do you understand?"

"Hey!" The big guy nodded.

Fu Dazhu next to these words blushed, why did their old Fu family memorize them so little!

A few days later, before the ground was shoveled, the house was finally built. Yu Liangji first named his family's ancestral hall, which was called "Yu's Ancestral Hall". There are also things used by various priests.

"Since his parents, Yu's family has opened a ancestral hall. First, he wishes to spread the message of incense, so that his descendants will last forever; second, he wishes to cultivate and study his family, and be a scholarly family; third, he wishes to be devoted to his duties and patriotic protection."

"There is a copy of Yu's family motto, for parents, elder brother and sister-in-law to read." Yu Liangji's family motto was compiled by Yu Liangji based on the famous family motto he had heard in his previous life. At that time, there were many programs exploring ancient life. At least, one of them is looking for those centuries-old families to explore their hometowns, ancestral houses and ancestral halls.

With the ancestral hall, there are genealogy and family instructions enshrined. His mother likes to watch such programs, so he also watched a lot of them.

Now I have compiled one based on my memory, which can be regarded as adding a little bit of heritage to the Yu family.

Shi Hongda didn't enter the ancestral hall, he just stood at the door, and inside stood Yu Liangji and Yu Baobao, one big and one young, worshiping the spirit seat very seriously.

He is not from the Yu family, according to the rules, people with surnames outside the ancestral hall of the ancestors are not allowed to enter.

Looking up at the sky, it was blue and the sun was shining brightly. He must go in next year!

"Come on, baby give incense to grandparents and parents." Yu Liangji recently asked Baby Yu to kowtow to the memorial tablet and burn three pillars of high incense.

On the confession case was a plate of five steamed buns, a plate of furnace fruit, and a plate of deep-fried meatballs, all of which were newly made tributes by Yu Liangji.

At this time, there were no fruits or anything like that. In the vases on both sides, there were apricot blossoms that Shi Hongda had picked back when he went to visit the fields.

"Oh." Yu Baobao obeyed obediently, kowtowing very reverently, he already knew what "death" was and what was "disappointment".

The memorial service was not long, but it was very solemn and serious. Yu Liangji personally wrote a couplet at the entrance of the ancestral hall: "Heart from heaven and earth, and the family has a long history."

Cleverly inlay "Yu Shi" on the first word of the couplet.

Because it is Yu's ancestral hall, it has nothing to do with others, so no one in the village came, but Yu's old house has been converted into an ancestral hall. Everyone knows it and admires Yu Liangji. This is the first ancestral hall in Shibalipu.

Master Juren is different from them. The ancestral boards of the family are all placed in the house. Although they are not placed anywhere casually, they are not solemnly placed there. For example, Yu Liangji even built a special house for worship. Some people whispered: Too much money to burn!

The ancestral hall was erected like this, and the door is usually closed, but on the first day and fifteenth day of the new year, Yu Liangji would bring Yu Baobao to clean up and offer incense and offerings by the way.

The offerings are taken down and eaten after one day, and the flowers are also left for three to five days before being removed.

Shi Hongda felt that the bare vase was ugly, so he secretly planned...

On the twelfth of May, after Shi Hongda was fully dressed, he was going to go to the county again. This time, he went to see if there was any suitable person, so that he could buy two families so that the family's work could be done.

"If you don't find something suitable this time, you can buy something similar. Seeing that a lot of work needs to be done by someone else." Yu Liangji carried a bag for Shi Hongda and put it on the horse.

The chicken racks, duck racks, and goose pens that have been set up at home have been cleaned up long ago. Grandma Che said that in three to five days, the goose chicks can be brought home to raise.

The chickens and ducks of Aunt Zhang's Second Aunt and Aunt Qiao also hatched, and after a few days they harden, they can be caught and brought home to raise.

What's more, the old sows in Lao Ni's family have all given birth, and they will be sold in a few days. He has already agreed with others that he wants two piglets!

Catching these things, hunting pigweeds, and digging vegetables all require people. He wants to do it himself, but Shi Hongda will definitely not agree!

Yu Baobao and other babies are too late, how can it be possible to let children go out to work?

"I know, but this time I will definitely find a suitable one!" Shi Hongda is very confident, and the family is about to get busy.

"Be careful when you go out, don't come back too late." There is no pollution here, and it is also a paradise for wild animals. He is really afraid that Shi Hongda will encounter some wolf or fox. He heard that there were tigers and leopards near here a few years ago. The old village head reported it to the county, and the county lord told the nearest garrison here, and then stayed at Shibalipu for two days during the garrison training.

Because the time-traveling senior may be a military enthusiast, all kinds of guns and artillery he produced are very useful. The garrison fired a few bullets and got rid of the tiger and leopard. Shibalipu is now safe.

But I didn't expect that without the threat of tigers and leopards, wolves would gather again. Fortunately, Shi Hongda was very skilled, and the villagers were united, and the wolves were wiped out.

"I won't come back early today. I'm afraid I'll bring someone along with me, but I'll definitely be home before dark." Now that it's been a long time today, Shi Hongda has made plans. He goes to the city to buy two donkey carts, and the donkeys are returned to the city. Those who can grind, grind flour and noodles are not idle.

"Okay, I'll make dinner for you." Yu Liangji nodded, and then added: "It's you."

Yu Liangji's words caught Shi Hongda's eyes: "Okay, wait for us to come back!"

Get up on the horse, take advantage of the cool morning light, and leave.

Shi Hongda left, and Uncle Sun passed by the house on the back. He wanted to walk around the village, sell tofu, and at the same time, he also brought soy milk to Yu Liangji.

"Uncle Sun, leave me half a plate of water tofu today, our family will come tonight!" Seeing the steaming tofu, Yu Liangji wanted to buy some for dinner.

Shi Hongda said that he would bring people back, and the population may be quite a lot.

"Don't keep it now, I'll order a new plate when I go back at noon, and I'll bring it to you around four o'clock in the afternoon." Uncle Sun happily handed the soy milk to him: "Now that the soy milk is kept, it has lost all the water, and it should be eaten at night." Not tender anymore."

"Okay, then I'll make a reservation first." Yu Liangji took the soy milk, took out three large coins from his purse and gave it to Uncle Sun: "This is tofu money."

"How good is it to keep the money? Give me a soybean!" Uncle Sun didn't expect that what Yu Liangji gave was cash.

Farmers are used to exchanging soybeans for tofu. Few people spend money, and a plate of tofu is only worth five or six yuan, which is five or sixty yuan.

"The soybeans at home are still useful, and they can't be exchanged for tofu. I can only give you old cash." Yu Liangji put the money directly into the old man's hands: "If you don't need to take care of it, if you have more, you will give me a piece of tofu."
