Chapter 101 The Insidious Xu Seng

  Mom and dad also comforted the old couple. Grandma’s mood finally stabilized. At least the whole family came out. Otherwise, we still don’t know what the consequences will be.

“Grandma, when the house here is built, we will go to Tangcheng to build a house. It will be open to traffic by then.”

 As an ordinary person, Ye Yuze has no ability to change anything. All he can do is to keep his family safe.

 The building of the house is still going on. Ye Yuze encountered one thing that worried him. That was the roof.

 The houses in the village all have mud roofs. Wheat straw is mixed into the mud and smeared on the roof. However, it needs to be done every two or three years, otherwise it will leak.

When Ye Yuze asked this question, his father interrupted. "If that doesn't work, why don't we get asphalt stones?"

Grandma shook her head. "That won't work. The asphalt will soften when exposed to the sun. A lot of grain in rural areas has to be dried on the roof!"

“Can you buy furnace ashes here? The kind left over from burning coal?”

Ye Yuze suddenly remembered the coal ash piled outside the brick factory where he went to buy bricks yesterday.

“Yes, there are many over there at the brick factory. Grandpa, what do you want that for?”

Grandpa smiled. "You can just buy it. How to use it is my business!"

I didn’t expect that the old man would even start a lawsuit. But that will happen after the cap is capped. So there is no rush.

By dinner time, the wall was half up.

If the foundation hadn't been dug too deep, it would probably be about the same today.

 It looks like the main house will be ready tomorrow. The south house will definitely be made of adobe.

Originally, according to Ye Yuze's wish, it was all settled with bricks. But in the end, no one in the family supported him.

 As a minority, he could only surrender.

 The dinner portion has not been reduced at all. Ye Yuze plans to use up all the 80 kilograms of pork in three days.

The pig head and offal were not marinated. They were all planned to be stewed together with the vegetables.

The four pig trotters Ye Yuze have finally put them up.

He is planning to have several elders in the village gather together. He also has to choose a day for the beam. This requires a professional Feng Shui master.

Although in this era those things were classified as feudal superstition, the common people would still believe them in general.

 In fact, I may not really believe it. At least it can give myself some psychological comfort.

Since tomorrow is almost the day, this matter should be put on the agenda.

Grandma went to find Mr. Ma and asked him to ask a Feng Shui master early tomorrow morning.

 In fact, Mr. Feng Shui hardly dares to come out now. Because as long as he is caught, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.

 So only those people who are very familiar with each other or have a certain status in the village will come out to invite others.

Mr. Ma agreed and everyone took a rest. The family had been busy all day and basically fell asleep after lying down.

 At this point, two people of the same age, the old uncle and the old uncle, didn’t know where they were going to play. They should have gone to the river to take a bath.

Ye Yuze originally wanted to follow, but was firmly stopped.

No matter how evil he behaves, Ye Yuze doesn't want to think about these things.

 The family soon fell asleep.

 Early the next morning, people consciously started working early. Mr. Ma got up early and went to the town in Linxian to invite a gentleman.

He walked around the house with his compass and muttered words for a long time. Then he stopped and counted with his fingers for a while. Finally he said:

"Eight o'clock tomorrow morning is the best day to put on the beam. The time must be precise. I will prepare a rooster at that time, and I will have to draw the talisman. Make sure to arrange a quiet room for me tonight!"

Seeing how serious this guy was, Ye Yuze believed him. The whole family spent the entire afternoon waiting on this guy.

 One moment he was buying cinnabar, the next he was preparing wolf hair, and the next he was asking for peach wood branches. The most important thing was that he wanted the big rooster with red feathers.

In this era, families are not allowed to raise things. It is against the policy. This big red-haired rooster can kill a whole family.

Finally, we mobilized relatives and friends, and finally found a big red-feathered rooster in a nearby village.

The people who worked were really fast. In one day, not only the main house was built, but also the south house and the courtyard wall were built.

Now everything is ready, just wait for the beams to be laid tomorrow morning. Then the roof will be processed and it will be completed.

As for some odd jobs, you and your relatives have to do them in your spare time. Anyway, after the new house is built, it needs to be left to remove moisture for a while before it can be lived in.

 Early the next morning, the uncle prepared a few firecrackers early and prepared for the Feng Shui master to finish the ceremony. But Xu Monk suddenly appeared.

He said to Mr. Ma with a serious expression: "You are an elder, I can't control you. But my members are not allowed to participate in such feudal superstitious activities.

  It is not difficult for me to help the Ye family build a house. Didn’t I give them three days of vacation?

  Today, all the members went to work in the morning. Waiting for you to finish all these messy things.

 Let them come over to work in the afternoon. The half-day investigation will be made up tomorrow morning."

Xu Seng’s words were righteous and stern. He had the air of a selfless branch secretary.

Mr. Ma suddenly turned his face. "Seng Xu! How dare you?"

Who knew that Xu Seng, who had never dared to challenge Mr. Ma directly, was determined today.

“I have nothing to fear. If anyone disobeys me today, I will go directly to the commune! I don’t believe there is no royal law here!”

 His words frightened people. In those days, grassroots leaders were still very powerful.

 Once something breaks out and the Commune sends down the militia, the matter will not be settled.

 Everyone glanced at Mr. Ma helplessly and followed Xu Seng to work obediently.

 Actually, Xu Seng really didn’t want the Ye family to build a house. He just wanted to disgust them.

 Looking at this pile of floor slabs, how could they get to the wall without more than a dozen people?

 Now that I have taken them away, the auspicious time for them to come back in the afternoon has passed. I wonder if your family is awkward?

  The appointment was for eight o'clock in the morning. It is now seven o'clock. He will definitely not let people back within an hour.

 Actually, he may not be able to relax. He is waiting for Ye Wancheng to give in to him and say a few nice words, and the matter will be over.

 After all, it is unwise to have such a grudge against someone in the countryside. This is called a deadly feud!

Unexpectedly, no one from the Ye family came up to say anything nice to him. They all looked at him angrily!

 And none of Mr. Ma’s seven sons followed him.

He really didn't dare to mess with these people. They were seven strong men. If he really tried to force them, he would probably get beaten today!

At this point, he had no way out. He gritted his teeth and took the people away.

 At any rate, he is also the leader of the brigade. If he loses face today, how will he be able to hang out in the village in the future?

Mr. Ma looked at Ye Yuze’s family guiltily and said to his grandma:

 “Sister-in-law, I am incompetent. I have ruined your family’s good things!”

Grandma was so angry that she was trembling all over. She was speechless for a long time.

 Only Ye Yuze was calm and calm. He was not worried at all.

 Seeking for collection, recommendation, monthly votes and investment.
