Chapter 168 Let’s see who has the best luck
Small Fishing Village
At half past seven, Tian Caihua came over to the old house to see if there was anything he needed help with.
Zhou Chengxin went to sea early in the morning. It was not surprising that Tian Caihua did not see Zhou's father and Zhou Chenglei. Today was just a start of construction, and it would be fine if a woman was at home.
Tian Caihua saw that the door of Jiang Xia's room was still closed and asked: "Mom, Xiaoxia is still sleeping? Didn't it say that eight o'clock is an auspicious time? Do I have to wake her up?"
Jiang Xia is really lucky. Sometimes she comes over after eight o'clock and she is still sleeping.
Mother Zhou: "No, she and your dad went out early in the morning."
Tian Caihua's mouth twitched.
She didn’t expect Jiang Xia to go to sea on such an important day.
On the first day of construction of her new house, she did not worship God personally. She was so arrogant!
She took the initiative to fight for the new house they lived in now and dedicated it to God herself.
God’s heart has its own divine protection. Doesn’t this house belong to her now?
At this time Grandpa Tai and Zhou Yongguo came over.
Grandpa said with a smile: "The auspicious time is coming, let's come over and help move things over."
Mother Zhou smiled and asked them to move an Eight Immortals table over.
Then she and Tian Caihua carried the prepared sacrifices out together, and met Zhou Bingqiang's family walking over carrying the Eight Immortals table and holding the sacrifices.
When Zhou Bingqiang saw his mother, he immediately said loudly: "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence that you are starting construction at this auspicious time? My old lady went to pick a day to build a house a while ago, and the goddess said that the best day in the second half of the year is Today, I thought that building a new house later would be better than building it early, so I would just pick the best day! After all, the house is meant to be lived in for a lifetime, so of course it has to be built on the best day, don’t you think?”
It’s true that today is the best day in the coming days, but he wants to build it early because he doesn’t want to be outdone! Otherwise, when we go to the Ten Thousand Yuan Household Conference together and someone asks, I will be outdone by Zhou Yongfu’s two-and-a-half-story building.
The corner of Zhou's mother's mouth twitched, and she knew with her toes that he didn't want to be compared with her own family, and deliberately came to cause trouble for her old man.
On the big day, she didn’t want to quarrel with others or say any unlucky words. Zhou Mupi said with a smile: “Yes!”
Zhou Bingqiang's daughter-in-law Zhang Guiying also smiled and said to Zhou's mother: "We will live together again in the future! Come to my house to play when you have time."
Zhou Bingqiang's old house was next to his great-grandmother, and it was later built The new house was just moved next to the big tree garden.
When Zhou Bingqiang later built a house, his father also deliberately chose a place far away from Zhou Bingqiang. Unexpectedly, the other party came back to build a house here again. This was obviously deliberately disgusting their family.
Mother Zhou was so angry that she cursed in her heart, but on the surface she still smiled and said, "Yes!"
It's really disgusting!
Yes, the homestead next to their homestead belongs to Zhou Bingqiang’s family.
If the homestead hadn't belonged to Zhou Bingqiang's family, Ah Lei would have wanted to buy the remaining piece of land, so that he could build a larger yard and use it to dry fish.
Mother Zhou is really mad!
But it was someone else’s land, and there was nothing she could do about it.
It’s all the old man’s fault. He shows off all day long. Look, he told everyone about his good life, and this bitch deliberately chose the same day to come and disgust people!
The great-grandmother was afraid that Zhou’s mother could not help but quarrel, and quarreling was the most taboo on the day of groundbreaking. She smiled and said to Zhou’s mother: “Hurry up and put the sacrifices in place. It’s almost eight o’clock, don’t delay the auspicious time.”
< br>Mother Zhou also knew that there should be no quarrels during the groundbreaking. Even though she was angry, she still put the sacrifices on the Eight Immortals table with a smile.
Zhang Guiying smiled and called Wen Wan: "Xiao Wan, you come to place the sacrifices, you come to worship the gods."
"Okay." Wen Wan smiled and stepped forward to help.
After the house is built, it will be hers, and it will be valuable in the future.
Wen Wan was supposed to go back to school today, but she heard from Zhou Guohua that his father planned to build a new house for the couple. It would be built on the same day as Zhou Chenglei's new house, and it would be right next door to Zhou Chenglei's new house. I decided to take leave today to watch the construction of the new house begin.
She also suggested that Zhou Bingqiang invite a lion dancer to perform, make it more lively, and compare the Zhou family to Zhou Chenglei's family. After worshiping the gods and breaking ground, the lion dance team came.
Because it was already eight o'clock, the two families did not speak. They quickly placed the sacrifices and began to worship the gods.
Wen Wan was still secretly competing with Zhou's mother, wanting to finish her worship first.
Mother Zhou was not in a hurry. Worshiping gods was based on one's heart. She bowed seriously first in the middle, then in all eight directions of the house, burned some paper money, and said many auspicious words.
It was over, it was already an hour later. Grandpa then dug a handful of soil with an iron shovel and shouted happily: "Good job! Let's start construction!"
Grandpa and please The workers who arrived began to pull the ropes, measure the location of the house, and prepare for digging the foundation.
Zhou’s mother, Tian Caihua and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law moved the sacrifices home together.
The four people came out again to watch the workers digging the foundation, and heard the sound of "dong dong dong" drumming.
Then, Zhou's mother saw a lion dance team, pushing a big drum on a cart, playing the drum, and holding the lion's head.
Many children and villagers followed behind to watch the fun.
Mother Zhou thought to herself: Could it be that the old man invited the lion dance team to celebrate today?
As a result, Zhou Bingqiang came to her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, my family invited a lion dance team to come over and dance to make the people in the new house prosperous. It just so happens that your family is also building a house, so you can also join us. Be happy! By the way, where are Yongfu and Chenglei? Will they go out to sea when the new house is started? Let’s touch the lion’s head and be happy!”
The happiness is fake. Zhou Yongfu's family's luck has been so strong recently that they are about to catch up with his family and become the richest in the village.
That's why he invited the lion dance performer to improve the luck of the new house and make it prosperous.
The two families started construction together. His family had a lion dance to bring good fortune, but Zhou Yongfu's family did not. The house's luck was better than that of Zhou Yongfu's family from the beginning, so wouldn't it suppress the other party?
Wen Wan glanced in the direction of the Zhou family's old house and was a little regretful that she didn't see Jiang Xia. She wanted to see Jiang Xia's expression.
Mother Zhou was so angry that she was shaking all over!
What does Zhou Bingqiang mean?
Mother Zhou has a superstitious belief that lion dance has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding harm. Inviting the lion dance team to dance on festive days can drive away bad things, making the family prosperous, good luck and good luck. Again and again.
And breaking ground on a new home is a big deal! Zhou Bingqiang invited a lion dance team to come, and his new home was next door to them. Wouldn't this drive all the bad luck and bad things to their new home, and take away all the good luck?
This really touched Zhou’s mother’s taboo, and Zhou’s mother was almost furious!
Just when she was about to curse, the great-grandmother quickly pulled her and said with a smile: "On this great day, since Bingqiang makes you happy, then you should be happy! This is a blessing from Bingqiang. Such good intentions, how can you refuse?"
Zhou Bingqiang said with a smile: "Yes! Sister-in-law, I specially invited the lion dance team to make your family happy! ”
After hearing this, the great-grandmother stepped forward and said to the lion dance team: "Masters, have you heard? Bing Qiang said that my niece-in-law should also be happy! Today, my nephew-in-law's land has also started construction. Please help me for a while. After Bingqiang’s dance, dance on this piece of land. Bingqiang will pay for it then!”
Mother Zhou’s eyes lit up: “Yes, yes... thank you very much!” Ah Bingqiang! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of asking for a lion dance! Thank you for your kindness! Master, after you finish dancing at Zhou Bingqiang’s house, you can dance at my homestead! Please let my family be happy together! Everyone in the village has heard it, he is the richest man in our village and will not default on his debts!”
Zhou Bingqiang’s family is all in disgrace!
Zhou Bingqiang is very pushy and shameless. He doesn't know how to say no, so he can only force a smile and say: "Yes! Give them a dance too!"
Wen Wan looks at him in disbelief. Zhou Bingqiang.
Looking at their aggrieved expressions, Mother Zhou felt finally relieved.
Hmph!
I want to overpower them!
Let’s see who beats whom!
I can’t trick you to death!
After his family dances, our family will dance again to drive all the bad luck back to their family and bring back all the good luck and blessings!
