The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chapter 77 The beams of the new house

After the matter between Xie Kui and Tieniu was made clear, Jiang Li changed the subject and did not continue to explore, waiting for Xie Kui's answer.

She told everyone about Jiang Baishu and Tieniu going to school.

Although I mentioned it casually before, I didn't expect Jiang Li to act so resolutely and get it done so quickly.

Mr. Jiang was so excited that he pulled Jiang Baishu and Tieniu over, hugged him in his arms, and touched their heads with his rough and somewhat black hands.

"When you go to school, you have to study hard. Only by studying well can you have a great future, you know?"

Jiang Baishu patted his chest and said, "Master, I will definitely study hard and make money for my sister in the future!"

Afraid that the old man would be sad, he quickly added: "Give me flowers too! Buy me some snacks."

Mr. Jiang was extremely pleased and said with a smile, "I am old, you can eat it by yourself."

The two little ones surrounded the old man and made him laugh.

Jiang Li and the others were busy in the kitchen getting things ready for tomorrow.

Xie Kui went to wash the dishes, while Jiang Youli took Jiang Songshu to a nearby house to borrow baskets for the ready-made sugar cakes.

Jiang Li and Zhao were kneading dough and lighting a fire in the kitchen to make sugar cakes.

The whole family worked until midnight and used up all the flour and sugar. They made three to four hundred sugar cakes and packed them in six or seven baskets.

The sweet and fragrant smell wafted in Yujia Village all night long, and the people in Yujia Village slept particularly sweetly in this fragrance.

Early in the morning, the sky was gray, and the Jiang family got up.

There was a sound of ringing bells. Everyone had washed up and sat down at the dining table, drinking porridge and side dishes. They simply padded their stomachs, and then Zhao, Jiang Youli, and Jiang Songshu each carried two baskets of sugar cakes. , the remaining miscellaneous things were taken over by Jiang Li and others in a carriage.

Although I don’t need to invite you to dinner this time, I still have to bring the tables and chairs from home, which will be used later to worship the Lord of the Land.

In this way, a group of people walked towards the new house in a lively manner.

Set up the desk, invite the landlord, and hang up the firecrackers.

Yu Zheng and others also came over.

Among the people who came were their mother-in-law and children, as well as other families in the village who had a lot of dealings with the Jiang family, including the family of Village Chief Yu and other families in the village who had heard the news.

It’s not easy for every household these days. I heard that the Jiang family would throw sugar cakes on the beam, and many families came with their children to join in the fun.

Adults can't help but pick it up, but children don't care.

Yu Zheng and others greeted the Jiang family with smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Zhao, who had been taught by Jiang Li, went up to greet Yu Zheng and his family members, as well as other people in the village who had good relations with them.

When she heard that the Jiang family was about to spread baskets of sugar cakes, there were several layers of people from the village, inside and outside, so Ms. Zhao pulled all her acquaintances into the house and found a good place for them.

"Huzi mother, just come in and stand inside." Ms. Zhao greeted.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Hu Ziniang and the others also congratulated one after another.

Yu Zheng and Mr. Jiang were counting how long it would take for the auspicious hour to arrive.

Jiang Youli found a bamboo pole and hung up the firecrackers so that he could set off the firecrackers later.

After a while, I climbed up to the roof. There were people on both sides of the roof, three or four people on one side, holding a rope in their hands, and the other end of the rope was tied to the beam.

Then Mr. Jiang shouted below: "The auspicious time has come!"

Yu Zheng and others shouted: "Go to the beam!"

Outside, Jiang Youli also lit firecrackers. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the beam as thick as a person slowly moved upward.

As the firecrackers stopped and the roof beams were put up, Zhao and Jiang Songshu handed baskets of sugar cookies to the roof.

"Get ready to sprinkle the sugar cookies!"

People were already crowding into the room, but now everyone ran in quickly.

Those in front were all children, and the elders in the family had equipped them with cloth bags and rushed forward.

The sugar cakes are loose, and baskets of sugar cakes are sprinkled from the top. It is very spectacular, and it does not hurt if it hits people.

All the adults and children smiled happily and said, "Hurry up and pick up the sugar cookies!"

The Jiang family scattered six or seven baskets of sugar cookies, and almost everyone who came could pick up at least two.

The children were very happy. They usually couldn't eat sugar, but this sugar cake had both sugar and white flour.

Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.

Those who picked up the sugar cakes congratulated the Jiang family one after another. Mr. Jiang took out the red envelope prepared by Jiang Li.

It's heavy. Last night, Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Li's outfit. Each of the workers had 88 cents, and Yu Zheng had 188 cents.

This is quite a lot, as a small worker only earns 30 cents a day.

Yu Zheng took the lead and started to say nice words of congratulations.

The Jiang family was busy all morning, and at noon, everyone dispersed.

"Uncle, all that's left is to lay the bricks in the house. Don't worry, we'll finish it for you in the two or three days assigned to you, so that you can move to a new home as soon as possible."

They were taking food and money, and Yu Zheng and the others were very dedicated.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work these days." Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

After Yu Zheng and others finished speaking, they began to continue working.

Jiang Baishu and Tieniu also participated in picking up sugar cakes, "Sister, look, we picked up a lot of sugar cakes!"

The two of them pulled their cloth bags to show Jiang Li, and grabbed the sugar cake with the other hand, licking the white sugar on it. The sugar cake was still filled with sugar filling, which showed how willing the Jiang family was to buy it.

Mr. Jiang initially disagreed, but Jiang Li explained that he wanted to establish a firm foothold in the village.

Although the Zhao family was kind enough to save Village Chief Yu's two sons, they still had to have good relations with the villagers.

The village accepts more outsiders than just their family. Yujia Village is very exclusive, so their family's situation is considered very good.

The bustle in the Jiang family soon dissipated, and the house had to be tidied up. Jiang Youli and Jiang Songshu and his son went to clean up the firecrackers and paper outside.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they met Jiang Youde and Jiang Youyi.

Compared with before fleeing, their mental state is much worse now.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Youli glanced at them and asked.

"Second brother, why are you like this? You all live in a house with blue bricks and red tiles now, and you are spreading sugar cakes to irrelevant people in the village. Why can't you remember your brother at all?"

Jiang Youyi's face was full of resentment.

Although they didn't call Shang Jiang Youli when they were escaping, aren't the second child's family still living well?

Maybe if they hadn't screamed, the second child would be worse off than them now!

After all, it's all thanks to them.

Of course, Jiang Youyi didn't dare to say what he thought.

Jiang Songshu was too lazy to pay attention to them. His father had broken off relations with them, let alone his nephew.

Jiang Youli gave the broom to Jiang Songshu, went into the house, and took out a bag of sugar cookies he had just picked up and gave it to Jiang Youde.
