After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin An stood on the roof and placed the red cloth on the highest point of the roof, which is the ridge.

Then cover the eaves with the hem of the red cloth to prevent wealth from leaking out.

After doing this, he took out a handful of copper coins.

He arranged the coins in a row along the length of the crossbar beneath the red cloth, then strung them together with red thread and hung them from the crossbar.

The purpose of doing this is to use the copper coins' function of warding off evil spirits to protect the safety of people and property in the house.

Finally, Lin An scattered a few handfuls of crispy candies and colored paper wrapped in oil paper on the beam, and immediately a group of children rushed over to pick up the candies.

The beam raising ceremony ends here.

Lin Shuyue watched all this with curiosity. This was the first time in her two lives that she had seen a beam-raising ceremony.

After the beam was raised, Li invited the villagers to eat in the open space. They invited six women to help cook today.

They had already discussed it last night and decided to just have a banquet for the beam-raising ceremony, and not invite the villagers on the day they officially move in after the house is fully completed.

"Oh my goodness, there is so much meat and rice. The Lin family is really generous."

A plump white woman's eyes sparkled as she looked at the meat on the table.

The others said nothing, but quickly scooped the meat and vegetables into their bowls. Some even picked up the plates and poured them into their bowls.

The whole open space was in an uproar, and some people were fighting over meat. Fortunately, the village chief Wang Youzhi stopped it in time.

Lin An's family looked at the villagers in amazement.

Fortunately, the craftsmen were at two other tables, otherwise they would not have been able to compete with the villagers.

"Runiang, there are some dishes left for you in the kitchen. Come and eat them quickly." Liu Cuiping came out of the makeshift kitchen.

Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, she smiled and explained, "Although we have good weather and good crops, the villagers have few ways to make money, so we rarely eat meat on weekdays. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"Aren't there a lot of prey in Lanshan? Even if you don't dare to go deep into the mountains, you can probably catch rabbits or something like that on the outskirts."

Lin Shuyue was a little confused. Since she couldn't afford meat, she could always get rabbits in the mountains.

Liu Cuiping shook her head: "We used to go into the mountains, and the village chief even organized a hunting trip every year.

But in the summer two years ago, a blind bear suddenly came to the mountain. The blind bear often came down the mountain and killed three villagers.

From then on, no one dared to go into the mountains, and they only dared to go to the foot of the mountain behind the village to collect firewood.

However, last autumn, when County Magistrate Wu arrived, he sent a number of yamen runners into the mountains. Although they failed to kill the blind bear, they did drive it away.

But the villagers are so frightened that they dare not stay in the mountains for long."

The Lin family suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder they hadn't met any villagers in the mountains these days.

I also understood why no one lived at the foot of the mountain.

Half an hour later, the villagers said goodbye one after another, and several women volunteered to stay and help clean up the dishes.

The dining tables were borrowed from the village, and they will have to be cleaned and returned to them later.

The group of people worked for an hour and finally packed up everything. The women who stayed to help each carried a plate of food and went home happily.

Lin An and his two sons went to the village to return the tables and chairs.

After the beams are installed, the next step is to install the doors, windows and roof.

As early as the beginning of construction, Lin An invited carpenters from the county to start making furniture. Now he just has to wait for the house to be completed so that the furniture can be moved in.

The craftsmen worked quickly and completed the roof in less than a month. The doors and windows were also installed, all with glazed windows. Now the craftsmen were laying blue bricks in the yard.

A few days later, the furniture was officially delivered. Li took Chunmian to the county town to start making curtains. Lin Shuyue also bought several new sets of bedding, and placed the ones she had bought before in the house in the county town.

After the ground in the yard was paved and the craftsmen were paid and left, Lin Shuyue secretly cut a few grape vines from the space and planted them in the corner of the wall in the front yard.

She also bought a lot of rose seeds from the county flower market, scattered some around the corners, and then watered them with spiritual spring water.

She picked a climbing rose with many thorns, which would not only look beautiful but also protect against thieves when it grows up.

It was a sunny day and the Lin family stood in front of the gate, looking at the newly built house.

Lin An walked forward and pushed open the heavy door, and the family stepped in.

As you enter the gate, there is a gatehouse on each side. Walk forward, around the screen wall, and you will come to the spacious courtyard.

The yard is paved with blue bricks. On the right side of the yard is a stable and two utility rooms.

On the left side of the yard, two grape vines were planted. With the watering of the spiritual spring, they had begun to climb. Next to the grape trellis was a pavilion, and beyond the pavilion was a well.

The roses in the corner also began to climb up the wall, full of vitality.

Walk further and you will arrive at the front yard.

The reception room is in the middle of the front yard, with three rooms on each side that can be used as guest rooms. The kitchen is on the left side of the front yard.

Entering through the middle hanging flower gate, you will arrive at the inner courtyard.

Directly in front of the inner courtyard is the main house, with an ear room on the left side and a room on the right side, which they plan to use as a warehouse.

On both sides of the inner courtyard are the east and west wing rooms, each with four rooms, which are for the two brothers Lin Shuyuan to live in.

A flower bed was built on the open space in the inner courtyard, planted with camellia flowers that Lin Shuyue dug from the mountains, and a pomegranate tree.

Walk right from the main door, then turn left, and pass through the moon gate to a small courtyard, which is reserved for Lin Shuyue. The small courtyard has an upper room and four side rooms.

The martial arts training ground that the Lin family had been longing for was past the moon gate on the far left of the main house. There was a special open space with a neatly paved ground, and there were several rooms for storing weapons.

The yard next to the martial arts training ground is the guest house, and no furniture has been put in it yet.

There is a row of houses behind the inner courtyard, which can be used as servants' rooms or storage rooms in the future.

There is a special bathroom between the room where the Lin family lives and the guest room.

As for the outhouses, they set up one in the front yard and one in the inner yard of the house.

After much thought, Lin Shuyue designed a squat toilet for the toilet and gave it to a craftsman in the county to have it made of ceramic.

After installation, the pipes were connected to the outside of the wall, where they dug a deep pit that needed to be cleaned regularly.

After walking around the house and making sure everything was alright, the Lin family returned to the hall in the front yard.

"We spent a total of 140 taels to hire the craftsmen and the materials for this house, most of which were colored glaze, and two ceramic squat toilets."

"The furniture cost fifty taels, and digging the well cost ten taels."

Lin An flipped through the account book and reported the numbers to everyone.

"Hiss... We spent two hundred taels to build this house. This amount of money can buy a big house in the county town."

Lin Shuyuan and Lin Shuyan took a deep breath.

Lin An looked at his two sons and said seriously, "Although this house is under my name, the money to build it was given by your sister. You can live in it however you want in the future.

If you dare to treat your sister badly after you get married, I will kick you out, understand?"
