It is no exaggeration to say that there are so many guests in Tianya Island today.

Many foreign cadres came and all came to congratulate.

In addition, representatives of the education units of the county and commune were all here, and some of Wang Xianghong's old friends also came. Xu Jinbu, who had not been here for a while, appeared today.

When Xu Jinbu saw them, he waved: "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Lao Wang, you have finally gotten up. When I came to drink last year, I said that there was no new house in your team. This year, you have built a building for the school and you have to build a building for every household. OK!"

Wang Xianghong was in high spirits, happy, and laughed repeatedly: "Isn't this what you taught me? You need to make progress, you need to make progress!"

He went up and patted Xu Jinbu on the shoulder intimately and said, "We have to thank you for building a school and a house in our team this time. You have done a lot of effort."

"I didn't say anything. In the future, when you retire, I will leave a bedroom for you. When you retire, you will come to us for your old age."

Xu Jinbu lifted his belt and said, "Okay, keep it for me, but it's not that fast. I have to work for a few more years, and the more I go back and forth, I get busier."

Wang Xianghong said, "Why are your unit so busy?"

Xu Jinbu looked around and came to him and laughed in a low voice: "I was handing over to my colleagues a few years ago. After the first month of the year, I will go to work in the city."

Wang Xianghong asked: "Old unit? What job do you do?"

Xu Jinbu nodded: "Old unit, the job you do is the same as in the county, and the seat is similar."

"The top leader of the city's supply and marketing company?" Wang Xianghong was both surprised and happy.

Xu Jinbu nodded again: "Yes."

Wang Xianghong slapped him hard: "You guy, you are still fighting with your old comrades and brothers. Haha, I'm not asking you, why don't you tell me?"

"But this day is sooner or later. You have always been an advanced element in your unit. The province has praised you by name. It's time for you to go up."

Xu Jinbu said: "Grandpa Xiaoqiu also tried some strength for me. This time he did go up and he was quite far."

The top leader of the county branch goes directly to the top leader of the city branch company, with a very large span.

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

Xu Jinbu was most interested in this topic: "The probiotics and juices you made for me are very good, and the intestines are not comparable to you, but they are much better, and now they are all brisk."

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

Wang Yi said: "Three-point treatment for stomach problems is three-point treatment and seven-point care. You have to pay more attention to it. You must eat three meals on time, and eat them according to the recipes I introduced."

"Today I will eat the recipe I prepared for you. I killed a pig in the morning and made you a pork belly soup." Wang Xianghong said with a smile.

A foreign village official came up to say hello: "What about me? I have brought gifts too."

Wang Xianghong waved his hand and said, "I have prepared two kilograms of good wine for you!"

The arrival of foreign cadres brought gifts, Huang Zhiwu from Kinlan Island showed the most enthusiasm.

He brought a bouquet of big red flowers made of red silk, which were very big, the flowers were as big as an eight-inch cake!

In the tradition of the outer island, when applying beams, you should wear big red flowers on the beams. One is that there is a saying, and the other is that it adds more joy.

In Chinese society in this era, whether it is inland or on the sea, it is a big deal to go up the beam.

When building a house in rural mainland China, it is important to "the roof has beams, and there is food at home; if the roof has no beams, the six animals will not be prosperous."

The outer island area emphasizes "a family must not be without a boss, and a house must not be without a beam."

Several cadres came one after another, and saw Wang Xianghong clasping his fists and saying festive words:

"Captain Wang, OK, your team has built up the stairs. This is the first thing we do on the outer island for the beams on the upper floors."

"Let's go and see what the buildings built on Tianya Island look like. They are three stories high in total? Or teaching buildings?"

"This is called attaching importance to education. We have to learn from Captain Wang and Teacher Wang. We must respond to the national call and attach importance to children's education!"

Listening to their flattering words, Wang Xianghong smiled with his eyebrows and couldn't help but show his smugness: "You guys have these mouths, so sharp."

"Our beaming is mainly a representative event, because in the future, our production team will build small buildings intermittently. By then, the other houses will not have the beaming matter, and today it will be represented."

Huang Zhiwu said: "No, how can you not build a house without a beam?"

"Old Huang, your family still has relatives in the city, and don't you understand this? Building a building is different from building a bungalow, so there is no need to raise a beam at all." Ding Deshui, captain of the Ding family on Duobao Island, said with a smile.

Huang Zhiwu said seriously: "How can I not know about this? My brother-in-law's house just built a building last year, and I will clear the process!"

"If you want to build a building, you have to find a special engineering team, right? If you don't ask a worker to do the work, you will first examine your geology, then measure it, give a building drawing, and follow the drawings to lay the lines and dig the foundation."

"There are also steel bars and concrete pouring at the back, and finally brick walls are laid. At the same time, doors and windows are installed according to the wire drawings. When the roof is covered, it will be almost done. Paint the exterior and install glass."

He pointed to the three-story building that had been built and continued, "Here, isn't this the beginning of painting the exterior?"

Wang Xianghong handed him a cigarette and said, "Zhiwu said nothing, that's it. But we don't need to lay the foundation for building a house on the top of the mountain. The ground is enough to be stable."

Huang Zhiwu proudly turned the cigarette in his hand and said, "No need to lay the foundation, but you have to put the beam on it."

"This is a tradition left by our ancestors. It is of particularity, right?"

"Whether you are smoothly applying the beam is not only related to whether the structure of the house is solid, but also to whether the descendants of the residents have flourished for generations. This is a custom left over thousands of years, so even buildings should be equipped with beams."

Huang Zhiwu said no problem.

In this era, when building a house, it is important to ask the craftsman to pay attention to the foundation when the house is started. If you choose a good day and auspicious day, you can start construction. When the house is about to be built and ready to be built, relatives and friends will send gifts to celebrate. The whole process is several stages, such as choosing beams, launching beams, throwing beams, waiting for craftsmen, etc., there are so many things to pay attention to.

Wang Xianghong is an old-fashioned person who respects traditional customs.

He felt that for Tianya Island and for the outer islands, building buildings represents entering a well-off society and entering a new era. This is a major event and must be done seriously.

So, he has always been low-key, so he has asked people to convey the news that the primary school is about to complete the construction of the beam. This matter must be grand and lively.

He is not trying to show off or show off, but simply because this is a festive event and needs to create a festive atmosphere.

He has planned the entire process of putting on the beam.

After choosing the beam, the wood used as the beam on the outer island is best to use camphor wood, sandalwood, etc., which was the style of ancient wealthy families. The best thing for ordinary people was to use metasequoia, so he chose metasequoia.

Needless to say, the process of launching the beam, putting the beam, and throwing the beam, he found a dedicated person to take charge, and he also made a choice for the finishing work of the craftsman:

Today, Wang Xiangxiong took leave and did not go to work. He was responsible for the lunch banquet with the colander. The production team killed a pig for this.

Some outside team members who were watching the fun and snatching wedding candy and steamed buns came up and asked Wang Xianghong: "Captain Wang, are there beams in your team ready? Why didn't they see each other?"

Wang Xianghong said happily: "You're ready, you're ready, and you'll carry it up later when it's auspicious."

The team's beam this time is symbolic. They don't have to really put a main beam on the building, so they don't have to choose a beam according to the size of the building.

If you really choose a beam, it would be a hard time.

It doesn’t matter if the people from the outside island are in the inland. If you don’t know where to go to the forest farm and wood factory, you can only prepare it in the mountains.

The wood used to choose the main beam is very demanding. At least the main trunk must be straight and without bending, and there are no traces of birds building nests or insects biting.

In addition, there are also some merits in terms of metaphysics. For example, if a tree with a root is taboo, why is a pine tree straight and strong but not selected as the main beam? It is a root.

This kind of tree is the main beam that means there is only one descendant of the owner, and the Chinese family leader pays attention to the development of branches and leaves, so this kind of attention is naturally not good.

However, Wang Yi thinks that in today's era, the country has a family planning policy, so it's better to have only one, and it's better to use a tree with a root as the main beam.

This requires that it conforms to the needs of national policies and propaganda.

Today, not only foreign cadres and members of the team came to Tianya Island, but also teachers from Tianya Primary School. All the teachers have come here, including Li Yanjing, who was just selected this semester.

The teachers stood together and looked at this three-story building yearningly. This is their future workplace and their main battlefield.

Yang Wenrong sighed: "Our school is developing so fast, and now even buildings are needed."

"There is more than one building." Sun Zhengnan was also very moved, "When we first came, our primary school was really not good."

Mao Haibo, who was invited by Li Yanjing to watch the new school, said: "You were already good when you came. Only when Teacher Wang was the conditions in your school were difficult."

The distance between Jinlan Island and Tianya Island, where he is, is short, and he has to deal with it more or less on weekdays.

Only Mao Haibo here has seen Tianya Primary School’s dilapidated appearance. At that time, students could no longer accommodate students to study, which forced students to borrow from Shuhua Primary School next door.

His feelings were deeper than others.

Tianya Primary School, which was a dilapidated one year ago, has now built a building in a different way.

It is said that their carpentry team is still working overtime to build new tables and chairs. After entering the new school, students no longer have to use bricks to build tables like before.

The brick table is cold in winter and hot in summer, and cannot move, and is highly consistent, making it uncomfortable for students to use.

Among the many teachers, the happiest one is Li Yanjing: "I can teach here after the start of this semester? That's great!"

Wang Yi said: "It's really good, but starting from the new semester, you can't teach in the teaching building."

Li Yanjing was shocked and asked quickly: "Principal, have I been transferred to your school? Didn't I ask me to take my first-grade Chinese homework? Why don't I go to teach again?"

Wang Yi said: "Because we cannot use the teaching building directly at the beginning of the new semester, and we have to wait until the teaching building is air-dry before it can be used."

Li Yanjing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought I was kicked by another school!

Mao Haibo envied him very much.

We are about the same height and weight, and we look like we are almost the same as we look like that. We are even the same skills. You know suona and I know erhu, but why are our fates so different?

Other private teachers are jealous of Li Yanjing.

After all, Mao Haibo is friends with him, so he is just 'very envious'.
