Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

The auspicious day for moving is coming soon. According to the rules here, moving starts at midnight, so everyone starts preparing one day in advance.

Zhong Meihui asked Yingzi to look after the two children, and hired two village women to clean the new house first. Then, according to the instructions of the local mountain people, she placed paper money in the corner of the room and pressed it down with bricks. , it is said that this can keep the wealth in the house.

"You're a prodigal girl, why do you hire someone to clean it? You have so many people, why don't you just let them do the work?"

When Zhong Meihui's mother saw that she hired a village woman from the village, she felt that she was wasting money. It was obvious that the people in the studio were only a wall away from them, so it was convenient and cost-free to hire a village woman.

"Everyone in the studio is paid. If you ask them to come over and clean the house, if you can't work in the studio, it will be more expensive than hiring someone. Moreover, Laifu has been busy at home these days, so it would be best for him to come over and help. But didn’t you try your best to stop me? I have no choice but to hire someone.”

Zhong Meihui rolled her eyes at her mother. She neither asked her to contribute money nor contribute, so what else was she dissatisfied with.

Moreover, during this move, Zhong Meihui's parents wanted to squeeze more money out of her. Seeing that they couldn't make it clear, they could only find a way to leave the family affairs to Zhong Meihui from other places without mentioning any money. Zhong Meihui was forced to bear the responsibility.

"Laifu is a boy who wants to do big things. How can he do this kind of cleaning work?" Zhong Meihui's mother was reluctant to use her son. She would rather work harder than let him do some housework.

She walked around the room, put a pot of beef stew in the refrigerator, and prepared some vegetables and noodles as a midnight snack.

Although the party starts tomorrow, according to the rules, after moving in the middle of the night, the person responsible for the move must have a good meal in the new house. This is not only to express appreciation for everyone's hard work, but also to represent that after moving into the new home, they will have food and drink in the future.

"Mom, are you too stingy? Are you going to eat beef noodles for the first meal of your new home?" Moving to a new home is a big event. Zhong Meihui has heard of other people's standards, including fish and meat. The basic configuration requires at least four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and even tobacco, wine, tea and sugar.

The things her mother had prepared now were simply not enough. Did she want to live without enough to eat after moving here?

"Today, not only our family members are having the first meal after moving into the house, but the people from your studio are also here. Won't it be an advantage for others to prepare so many delicious foods?"

Zhong Meihui's mother was very convincing. She said that building this house had already spent all her family's savings. Even though Zhong Meihui later gave her another 5 yuan for decoration, it was still not enough. She borrowed some from relatives to fill the hole. They will start again at noon tomorrow. If you want to hold a banquet to entertain the neighbors, there are expenses everywhere, so naturally you have to save a little.

"Then don't invite people from the studio. Just follow the rules and ask close relatives at home to come and move together." Zhong Meihui knows some moving customs. Usually the people involved in the move are family members. If there are few children like Zhong Meihui's family, Usually, parents, brothers and sisters come over together, and everyone moves into the new house in a lively manner.

Moreover, their moving time was in the middle of the night, and no one except close relatives would be willing to stay up late at night to help move things. The people in the studio agreed to come, which was already a favor to the boss Zhong Meihui.

"That's not possible. When relatives come over, it's not just a meal. Everyone wants a red envelope, which adds up to several hundred yuan, and it costs even more."

Zhong Meihui's mother kept shaking her head when she thought of the poor relatives at home. Others could receive gifts and gifts when they moved and served wine. Zhong Meihui's relatives ate and took away all the good things they saw, and they wished they could move back all the good things they saw. She would not ask them for help in her own home.

"It turns out that you also know which method is cheaper. Why don't you buy something good? It will be a big deal if it delays Laifu's future."

Zhong Meihui had to move Zhong Laifu out again as a shield. Sure enough, when she heard that this matter was related to her son's future, Zhong Meihui's mother became generous and bought roast chicken, bacon and some fresh fruits and vegetables from the market. Put it in the new house and fill the entire refrigerator.

Zhong Meihui was also very generous. She bought some drinks and some ham tripe to prepare a platter.

In the evening, everyone from the studio came. Everyone gathered in the old house of Zhong Meihui's family and watched the local mountain people reciting blessings in the yard.

He waved the mahogany sword in his hand and gestured back and forth in different directions. Nie Fei felt that this was a good subject and should be photographed and used as material.

"Forget it. If we bring the camera, it might make this mountain man feel uncomfortable. If something goes wrong, it will be my responsibility. But it's a good idea you have. These folklore themes are indeed worth filming. .”

Zhong Meihui looked at Nie Fei with approval, feeling that he had been very dedicated to his work recently. Compared with Luo Zhihao's wandering thoughts, Nie Fei obviously gained a lot of points.

"The auspicious time has come." Shanren shouted, and Zhong Meihui's father immediately picked up the brazier in front of him and started walking towards the new home. The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning brightly, which meant that it was prosperous.

Zhong Meihui's mother carried a pair of baskets, which contained firewood, rice, oil, salt, fish and meat, which meant that there was food and drink.

Even Zhong Meihui’s younger brother Zhong Laifu holds a long bamboo pennant, which means that happy days are getting better and better.

As the daughter of the family, Zhong Meihui was not qualified to take these things. She and a group of friends from the studio walked at the end carrying tables, chairs and benches. The group was huge and looked very lively.

The distance between the new house and the old house was not far, and they arrived quickly. Everyone entered one by one, and then lit a firecracker with thousands of rings.

"Sister Meihui, won't anyone complain if you set off firecrackers in the middle of the night?" This was the first time Xing Yiwen saw such a custom. She looked at the residents around and asked softly in Zhong Meihui's ear, for fear that it would be too late. Someone comes looking for trouble.

"It's okay. People here move when they are young. Every household does this, so they can naturally tolerate each other." Zhong Meihui explained softly. After performing various rituals, she went to the kitchen with her mother and put the The hard dishes prepared before were heated up, and two tables of wine were put together on the first floor to treat the people in the studio to their first meal after moving into their new home.

"This is the first time I have eaten such a rich late-night snack." Nie Fei couldn't help but sigh after seeing that tonight's dishes included meat and fish. Although he can't record everything with a camera now, he still wants to see these customs Deeply imprinted in my mind.
