Chapter 308: Simple or I feel I can't get in

Without Liu Weimin's much persuasion, Li Yan had already gone around in circles, and was simply tinkering with how to clean it up.

But it was indeed broken, and Chen Jianguo's brows were furrowed from beginning to end, until he finally heard Liu Weimin's price, and then he relaxed a little.

"Village chief, how many days can we move in at the earliest?"

Liu Weimin calculated,

"It will take a few more days for this crop of grass to grow. If you are really anxious and can't wait for a few days to rest, you have to work at night,"

"Village chief, please urge us, we want to move out as soon as possible."

Liu Weimin had also heard about the bustle of the Youth Courtyard, and he could guess a little bit from the situation, but as long as they didn't cause trouble, Liu Weimin didn't want to say much.

"Okay, I'll go find someone later and ask them to come and see what needs to be packed. You can also see if there is anything else to be packed besides what I just said. We'll talk about it together later. Ask them to go back and prepare things and come over after work tomorrow."

The next two houses are Liu Sanye's house. Hu Zi and his children are playing at the door. Now they all come to join in the fun. They are directly drafted by Liu Weimin.

"Hu Zi, go to the west end and call your uncle Dahai over. Heidan, go call your uncle Jiefang,"

"Hey!"

Hu Zi and Heidan ran away. Some of the other children were still lying at the door to watch the fun, while others ran with Hu Zi and the others. Little Jian Xin ran in, acted coquettishly with Jian Dan, and ran back to find Xiao Hua.

Jian Dan was not in a hurry to go back, and did not restrain her.

Soon, two professionals came over, walked around the house, and listened to the two people's requirements.

"Then come over tomorrow after work, and fix the walls and roof first, don't let it rain halfway, that would be troublesome.

These are quick, the walls, roof, the stove in the outer room, these small things, they can be finished in three or four days, but the kang will take some time, and you have to wait until it is dry before you can live in it."

"Okay, Dahai, Jiefang, you guys fix it well, the kang, the stove pit, etc., fix it, don't smoke when the time comes,"

Hearing this, Liu Dahai and Liu Jiefang also knew that this was a special care, otherwise the village chief would not care about it.

Liu is a big family name in Liujiatun. He and Liu Weimin are not much different in age. They grew up together. He agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, brother Weimin. Are you worried about my work?

After the matter was settled, they paid the rent and the deposit for the house renovation to Liu Weimin. Chen Jianguo and his wife were relieved. Liu Weimin was also relieved.

"Village chief, thank you for your trouble. We are completely relieved to entrust this matter to you.

Actually, we are a little rude today. This is also our home. When we move in, we will definitely invite you to come and burn the bottom of the pot. "

Rural areas are all about favors. Normally, when you ask someone to do something, you will not come back empty-handed. It is not a bribe, but just a way of doing favors. How can you ask someone to do something empty-handed?

But Chen Jianguo and his wife really don't have anything in their hands now, but they have to say this to let people know. Should they burn the bottom of the pot when the time comes, or give them something after the work is done? It will be easy to say when the time comes. You can't ask someone to help you for nothing.

(Burning the bottom of the pot: It is a custom that is popular in some parts of China, especially in Henan, Northeast China, and Luonan, Shaanxi. This custom is usually It is held when moving into a new house, implying the bringing of the old house's happiness and fortune into the new house, hoping that the new house will have a happy and fulfilling life.

The specific activities of burning the bottom of the pot include:

Choose an auspicious day, usually the morning of the third, sixth or ninth day of the lunar calendar, when the sun just rises, because people believe that this is a good day for great luck.

When moving, in addition to furniture and other items, the iron pot is the last thing to be moved into the new house. Before moving the iron pot, the owner will bake one side of a large pot-wrapped bun in advance, then wrap a red headband around the pot, and move it into the new house amid the sound of firecrackers. On the stove, turn it over and continue to bake until cooked.

When cooking for the first time on the stove in the new house, the browned pot-kui bun will be served as a special dish for relatives and friends to enjoy. At the same time, everyone will chat while eating, creating a house full of laughter and joy.

Burning the bottom of the pot is not only a traditional custom to celebrate the completion of a new house, but also symbolizes a new beginning and a prosperous life. As time goes by, this custom has also added new content. For example, in Xuchang area, burning the bottom of the pot also means communication and congratulations between relatives and friends.

In addition, some places will bring leavened dough when burning the bottom of the pot. Food means "prosperity", and people hope that the new home will be rich and prosperous.

However, at this time, burning the bottom of the pot cannot be explained so clearly. It means moving, and everyone is busy and lively, which also symbolizes the beginning of a new life. )

Since they are all poor, Liu Weimin naturally understands that he doesn't care whether the bottom of the pot is burned or not. However, he feels very happy to hear that he regards this as his home and trusts him, and he speaks with a bit of intimacy.

"It's okay if you can work hard and live a good life. Spend your money on the right things, don't do those fancy things. "

After seeing Liu Weimin off, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but raise his lips. This was considered a home.

As a man, he should let his wife and children live a comfortable life. This sense of pride made him feel so proud that his heart was about to fly.

Li Yan was much more straightforward. She didn't care about the weeds in the yard. She looked around several times and felt that everything was good. If it wasn't really uninhabitable, she wouldn't want to leave.

On the way back, she couldn't help but look back.

"Just now you said a few days. Can we move in in three days?"

"I'll pack my things when I get back. When the time comes, I'll pack our things in the boxes. I have to take a good look and don't leave anything behind."

"Do you think we should come over after work tomorrow? They're repairing the house. Let's mow the grass in the backyard. Then we can plant the garden earlier, right?"

"The front yard is not small. Oh, isn't it too late to catch chicks now? What else can we do? Or we can also open it into a vegetable garden, and we can plant a lot more, right? "

She said, and Chen Jianguo smiled and agreed, naturally, without a trace of impatience. Although there was a distance between the two of them, Jian Dan still felt that he couldn't get in.

"Okay, I'll come over after work tomorrow. There are mosquitoes in the grass at night, so don't come over. Just stay at home and clean up your things."

"Or, you can find out what seeds we have. If you don't have enough, you can ask who has them. We can exchange them first. I will directly turn over the garden over there and clean it up. When the time comes, we can move over and plant it, and it won't waste time."

"That's fine. There are only a few ridges of land here in the Youth Academy, and we can't plant anything. There are so many people eating that little cabbage. This time, we can plant as much as we can, and we will have vegetables to eat in winter.

I'll ask Jian Dan what she needs to prepare for her own life, and we can prepare it in advance. "

Jian Dan's head was full of black lines,

"Thank you so much, you still remember me."
