The homestead site is fixed and cannot be occupied arbitrarily. The kitchen must be completely demolished. Today we have to do a big thing, which is to choose a house to build!
Ling Yun was not like other girls and wives, who only served tea and other things, climbed up the ladder and followed everyone to build the house with their own hands.
While Mrs. Su Chen kept telling Ling Yun to be careful, she slaughtered chickens and ducks with several aunts who came to help.
There was no need to build a temporary cooking stove. Uncle Lin suggested that since his house was idle and it was close, he could just open the fire at their house these days and burn some firewood inside and outside.
There is no need to worry about the friendship between the two families. Su Youting readily agreed. No, Chen will boil water for everyone here and bring it over in pots when it is cooler.
After clearing out everything in the house, we started to pick out the roof.
Li Zheng also brought some good news that was not good news at all. It was said that many families had dreams last night. They dreamed that their children who had died in infancy came back and told them that someone was preventing them from building houses for them and that they had no place to live. If this still happens, they will come home and live there!
It frightened many people. One or two families might think this was a coincidence, but almost half of the families in the village had such a dream together. Does anyone else think it was a coincidence?
Absolutely impossible. Boss Ling was slapped by a shiny little boy in his dream. When he got up in the morning, there was a child's slap mark on his face, and half of it was swollen.
He, who slept in the same bed with him, was also warned, saying that if she continued to obstruct the construction of the mountain temple, he would shave her head. She thought it was a dream and didn't take it seriously, but after seeing her man's face , she was afraid.
Early in the morning, Mr. Ling was urged to go to Li Zheng to express that his family had no objection to the construction of the temple.
They objected, mainly because they resented the last time they didn't get a deal from the Su family and gave away the cattle. Building a temple, like building a house, requires money. They were angry that Ling Yun was disobedient after getting married. They didn't know how to give the money to his mother. I want to buy something for my family, and I actually want to build some kind of mountain temple.
However, now that I saw that the Su family was not only building a temple, but also building their own yard, and seeing those people helping, I was lying if I said I wasn't jealous, but I didn't dare to make any more trouble.
I was so angry that I had no choice but to go home honestly.
Uncle Li Zheng said unhappily, "Girl Lingyun, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you. This land belongs to the village after all, and I can't just say it alone. I agreed to build the temple on the land, but the place won't be very big." , can only be six feet square, you see..."
Ling Yun was filled with joy, smiled and thanked, "That's enough, that's enough. Thank you Uncle Li Zheng for giving me half a mountain. I'm not that capable to build such a temple."
Ling Yun had no intention of building a mountain temple of any size, and he followed an old Chinese saying.
If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons!
This temple is not very tall, it just has a place for Duan Jiabao and the little ghosts to stay.
Ling Yun directed the three little tails and Su Youting to pack up everything in the kitchen and the room, and the two rooms were quickly demolished.
Someone knowledgeable came over and simply drew a rough pattern with lime on the cleared ground according to Ling Yun's instructions, and everyone started digging the foundation with shovels flying around.
Uncle Lin still went to the mountain to cut trees. Ling Yun did not use the remaining materials to build the mountain temple as he said before. Instead, he called the three teenagers and drew a rough outline at the foot of the mountain.
The required bricks and tiles were transported and the small temple was built brick by brick.
The mountain temple is not big, only one person tall, and the inside is not big. It didn't take long to build. Su Youting was very careful. When he entered the city, he brought back a blank tablet and replaced the small table at home. After cleaning it up and covering it with a tablecloth, it became a ready-made altar table.
The mountain temple in front can only accommodate two people standing side by side. Although the mountain temple is small, it has all the internal organs.
On the inside of the altar table is the tablet with the name Duan Jiabao, the mountain god, and a porcelain doll brought back by Su Youting. It looks very similar to Duan Jiabao. It is temporarily placed in the mountain temple as a statue of the mountain god.
Behind it is a Ciying Pavilion with the same layout, which is for the children who died early.
This is also Lingyun's idea. It shares the same wall with the mountain temple, so it is not too troublesome to build.
Su Youting also agreed with this. Several people worked very hard. When Ling Yun was about to burn the first incense, he realized that the grass incense he bought was forgotten at home.
Huzi volunteered to go back to get it, but before Ling Yun could say anything, he had already disappeared.
Su Youting and his wife put out all the offerings they brought, and Zhang Chunliang and Wu Liang diligently pulled out all the weeds around them, making the small mountain temple look even more beautiful.
The two of them were discussing going up the mountain again tonight to move Duan Jiabao's grave, and everything would be settled. Su Youting was worried about the danger of meeting the old fox again, and was still expressing his disapproval.
Huzi ran over from the village and started shouting before anyone arrived, "Sister Lingyun, Brother Youting, come home quickly, you have a distinguished guest!"
As soon as Ling Yun heard this, she subconsciously thought about it in her mind. Among the people she knew who could be called a distinguished guest, she guessed that it was Mr. Shen Liujia, so she didn't argue with Su Youting, picked up the basket and walked home.
There were many tools in the basket that were brought for work, and they were heavy. Su Youting caught up with him in a few strides, took the basket and held it in his own hand. He said in a friendly manner, "It's probably Mr. Shen, except for him." Our family doesn’t know that noble person either.”
This time the two of them obviously wanted to go together. As soon as they entered the village, they saw not only many people standing at their door from a distance, but also a very conspicuous covered carriage. Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh in his heart, " This Mr. Shen is quite arrogant, the hood of this car is so gaudy, what the hell is the pink gauze curtain?"
When going out here, you will basically use a sedan chair or walk for the shorter distances, while you will use a horse-drawn carriage for the longer distances.
However, there is indeed a big difference between the carriage sheds used by men and women.
Men's carriages usually have carriage curtains, which are just a piece of cotton or satin, while women's carriages have many designs, including gauze curtains for the carriage shed, which are filled with fragrance.
When she got closer, she stopped thinking so. She smelled a smell that was a bit familiar, and it was definitely not the incense that a man would use.
In the yard, in addition to a few masters who were busy installing tiles on the roof, the mother-in-law was also there. Several young men were standing on both sides holding gift boxes higher than their heads. A little girl dressed as a maid was supporting a country man. The invisible woman in the long skirt stands opposite Su Chen, and the front cannot be seen.
Someone at the door noticed Ling Yun and Su Youting and shouted, "The young couple are back!"
When she heard that the person she was looking for had returned, Xie Yingying, who had long been disgusted with the surrounding environment, was full of momentum. She thought of a gorgeous and shocking turn with domineering attitude. During the swing, it hung on the bricks placed on the side, and with a click, a large hole was directly scratched out.
