Chapter 49. Glorious lintel

My father Liu Da never expected that his son had just had a trip with Wu Baiwan and he said he wanted to move as soon as he came back.

This moving is a big deal. You should know that apart from marriage and funerals, the biggest thing for ordinary people is moving.

So, my father Liu Da calculated the old calendar by counting his fingers. This calculation doesn't matter, and the comment he gave was "It is not suitable to move, otherwise it will be unfavorable for descendants."

Although the old man himself is a charlatan and knows that some things are tricked and tricked into being, he believes that the old almanac is the essence of numerology obtained by his predecessors, and has profound truths in it, which cannot be understood by ordinary people. Moreover, although this house is broken, it is the ancestral home of their old Liu family. Now he is moving out of the ancestral home. How can Liu Da, who has always been conservative, do this?!

Wu Baiwan was anxious. He came with a bricklayer and carpenter early the next morning, but saw the old man Liu Da blocking the door of the house, and the rusty kitchen knife inside the house was inserted into his waist. He looked like the head of the kitchen knife gang. He sat there and no one allowed him to go in.

If the old man didn't let go, the bricklayer and carpenter could not enter the door, and if he could not enter the door, he could not decorate the room, he could not open the shop, and he could not open the shop, and his own tea and silk goods would have no place to buy or sell. The most important thing is that the goods had been shipped to the town's wharf. Are they piled up at the wharf and the New Year?!

This is absolutely not possible!

The biggest peak season for business is the Spring Festival. If your goods are piled up at the dock, who will you sell to?! The wife of the River God or the grandmother of the Dragon King?! If you miss the peak sales season, who will compensate for your own losses?!

Wu Baiwan thought that the old man Liu Da was completely: an old turtle blowing the trumpet - pretending to be a toad! It’s not a big deal, you insist on using such a big effort! He also thought that the old man was rigid in his mind and was too conservative, and it was impossible to tell him that it was more important to look for his son directly.

Before looking for Liu Wenyang, Wu Baiwan was already very aware of being prepared to stretch his neck and be slaughtered. There was no way. It seemed that every time he dealt with Liu Wenyang, he would be slaughtered by the other party.

This time, Liu Wenyang did not disappoint him. He used a very gentle attitude to describe the importance of "time is money", and then mentioned the feng shui of his ancestral house so good that it was "very good". Then, with a gentle knife, Wu Baiwan had to give out another thirty taels of silver bills.

Take money and get rid of disasters with others.

Although Master Liu is not a bandit bully who kills and sets fire, he is also a trustworthy person. Therefore, after collecting Wu Baiwan’s money, he directly found his father Liu Da and said to him: "Let’s move immediately."

However, the old man was also stubborn and shook his head like a rattle, saying, "Keeping the family is like filial piety, and you should not move easily."

Liu Wenyang said again: "I took other people's money. If I don't move out on time, I will pay ten times the compensation!"

The old man said, "What is ten times?"

Liu Wenyang raised a finger.

The old man said, "What are ten taels? The ancestors have a lesson. Unless they are in great disasters, we would rather die than move!"

Liu Wenyang shook his head,

The old man said, "That's one hundred taels. For the sake of the blessing of our descendants, we have to endure more hardships! This family must not move the land casually!"

Liu Wenyang shook his head again.

The old man's face changed a little, and he asked, "...how much is it?"

Liu Wenyang said: "One thousand taels!"

When the old man heard this, he turned his head and rolled the bed without saying a word, and urged Liu Wenyang: "What are you still standing there? Do you want others to come and collect debts?"

...

To be honest, the Liu family’s home is really easy to move.

Mainly... nothing!

Two broken chairs, one broken table, one door panel, one shoulder pole, and then... then there was nothing left. Even if the robbers came, they could not find any valuable items.

According to Liu Wenyang's meaning, all these ragged things should be thrown away, and the three of them directly rushed to the new house to achieve a well-off life. When they arrived at the new residence, they could just buy some new houses for use. But for the old man Liu Da, "the broken house is worth a lot of money." Touch this and look at that, they couldn't bear to throw away any of these things.

There is no way. As a filial son among filial sons and an excellent variety among scholars, Liu Daguan had to bite the bullet and pack them all.

My father Liu Da was nostalgic for a while and was reluctant to let go of the ragged things in the room. However, the little donkey that had no grudge against him, such as broken tables, chairs, and old door panels, bend poles, were thrown at it, making it scream.

Speaking of which, after the little donkey was ridden by Liu Wenyang, he did not return it to Aunt Jin immediately. He stayed at the Liu family with delicious food and drinks, and did not do the hard work. He was so tired that he became stronger and stronger.

Master Liu's plan was that if Aunt Jin didn't come to pursue her, she would pretend to forget the "borrowing a donkey and riding" matters and fatten the donkey and sell it for a good price. Now, she doesn't want it to be useful and has become a pioneer in moving and transporting goods.

Everything is ready.

The little donkey in front carried a large piece of ragged house, lifted away four hooves and walked forward.

Behind the donkey's butt--

Dad Liu Da carried the bedding paper with a solemn expression.

Liu Wenyang carried a basket of books with a calm expression.

The servant Mingyue held a pot and pan, panting.

Three people and one donkey, and in this way, in the "bang" of pots and pans, and in the loud donkey calls, they began a moving journey of competing for foot strength and cultivating endurance.

Along the way, all the pedestrians who saw them stopped and pointed at them, as if they had seen something interesting.

At first, Liu Wenyang was still confused and thought that moving was like this, what's ridiculous? Could it be that if the things were broken, it was not furniture, and if the population was small, it should be ridiculed? But immediately, Master Liu understood because there was a ox cart carrying goods quietly passed by...

"Why don't you come here? Why don't you hire a car?!" Official Liu covered his face with his sleeve for the first time, "Shame, ashamed! We are not short of that little money!"

...

In front of the gate of the new house.

The six-story steps extend, and the red painted door is closed.

The stone lions on both sides were squatting on both sides, showing their spirits.

There is a stone tablet on the left wall with the large letter "Taishan Stone" engraved on it.

A big locust tree was planted next to the wall on the right. The two of them hugged each other, with branches spreading around, covering half of the wall.

This momentum is absolutely magnificent.

This facade is absolutely pomp.

Dad Liu Da held the bedding paper, his eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he looked up ahead in disbelief.

The servant Mingyue held the pots and pans, sucked his nose, wiped his sweat, and looked at his new home incredibly.

For his father Liu Da, he never dared to imagine that he could live in such a house in his life, so he twisted his face directly and couldn't believe everything in front of him.

For the servant Mingyue, he was even more stimulating. He had previously defected to Liu Wenyang's house and saw that dilapidated house was hundreds of times worse than the City God Temple he lived in before, but he did not regret it... Of course, there were still a little regrets deep in his heart.

Out of loyalty to the new owner, Mingyue had already made up her mind to show her willingness to be hard-working and serve Master Liu well in this dog-kennel-like home. But unexpectedly, she moved in less than two days and the place she wanted to move in was such a big house!

At this moment, the servant Mingyue was completely stunned by Liu Wenyang's "spell".

Yes, how could such a miracle be possible without casting the spell?!

In a moment.

My father Liu Da threw away the bedding papers, pointed to the mansion in front, and asked Liu Wenyang, "Son, do you think I am dreaming? If I hadn't dreamed, how could I see such a big house?"

"Son, do you think I'm dazzled? If I'm not dazzled, the house in front is really our new home?!" The old man rubbed his turbid eyes hard.

In order to avoid his father being too stimulated and to avoid him asking where the huge amount of money for purchasing the house came from, Liu Wenyang had to comfort him: "Yes, you are always dreaming and not dazzling. This is indeed the new home we are going to move into, but..."

Seeing that the father was excited, Liu Wenyang immediately said, "But we haven't finished the money for this house yet. We just paid a portion of Boss Wu and we will pay it back slowly in the future!"

"Ah?! It turns out that the money for this house has not been paid yet... I just said, I will never have such a good life in my life!" The father said, and he wiped his tears with some reluctance.

Seeing that his father was so painful, Liu Wenyang felt a little embarrassed. He thought for a while and told him the truth slowly in the future. If he was too hasty now, it would only backfire. What explanation would he explain if he asked about the 500 taels of silver notes?!

...

Just as Liu Wenyang was thinking, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came.

Turning his head, he saw a team of people coming to congratulate him. The person leading the person was Liu Wenyang's third uncle Liu Neng. Beside Liu Neng was his fat woman with a fat body and a lonely temper. Behind them were some of Liu Wenyang's neighbors, such as the big bull in the pork shop, the second tiger in the blacksmith shop, and some blind date neighbors who usually get close to him.

Although the team is not big, the gongs and drums are noisy, which still attracts more people to watch.

Uncle San Liu Neng still looked so naughty. He wore a worn rabbit-eared hat and held his hands. He greeted Liu Wenyang and the others from a distance.

The old man Liu Da was stunned. He never expected that his brother would make such a big show. But on his side, he had not even entered the gate, so how could he serve tea and water to others after a while? This etiquette is unreasonable.

"Son, what do you think of this? They came to congratulate us, but we were not prepared!" Liu Da had no idea and had to ask Liu Wenyang.

Liu Wenyang was also stunned and said, "At worst, you can go in together later, and then buy a banquet to let everyone have enough food and drink..."

"I have to do this now...but the banquet needs to be held better. We can't say that our Liu family doesn't understand the rules and loses affection." Liu Da nagged with shame.

While speaking, the congratulations were in front of us.

"Brother, A Yang, I finally chased you, I'm chasing you!" Uncle Liu Neng's face turned red with cold and he stuttered. "You are really! After all, they are all from the Old Liu family, living in front and back yards. You move, move... don't say a word!"

Facing the enthusiasm of the third uncle Liu Neng, my father Liu Da could only smile foolishly and didn't know how to reply.

Liu Wenyang bowed and said, "I am in a hurry, but I am anxious to leave. I forgot to say hello to you, Uncle San. It's our fault. Please forgive me, Uncle San!" After that, he apologized to Uncle San.

Uncle Liu Neng held his hands and wiped the frozen snot with his sleeve. He smiled and said, "It's still my nephew's words. Actually, I have nothing else, I have other meanings... We are all a family, and if you don't speak two families, I should do my best if you move... But now... Look at me, I can only come and shout and congratulate you, haha!"

Next to him, the fat woman who came with Uncle San was just coming to watch the fun and seeing how decent Old Man Liu could move into a house, I was probably a little better than his doghouse at most. At that time, I would take the opportunity to laugh at me and express the anger I had accumulated. But she was shocked by the mansion behind Liu Wenyang and the others.

The fat woman shook her head and pinched her fat butt with her hands, thinking, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" So she pulled the man's sleeve and whispered, "What are you talking about? Ask if the house behind is their new house?"

Liu Neng was reminded by his wife and saw the big house in front of him, so he asked, "Brother, A Yang, that house...is it yours?"

Liu Neng's words represent the questions of all the neighbors around him. The Liu Wenyang family has always been very destitute, and the father and the others have lived a hard life. These neighbors think that they are much more comfortable than the Liu family, and occasionally help the old Liu family to satisfy their vanity of helping the weak. Therefore, psychologically, it is difficult for them to accept the fact that each other has a good life and completely turn over. Therefore, when the third uncle Liu Neng asked, everyone stretched their heads like ducks, stared at Liu Da tightly, waiting for his answer.

When my brother asked about the house, my father Liu Da originally wanted to tell them the truth and told them that they only paid a part of the house. Maybe who would be in the future. But when he saw such strange eyes around him, he seemed to be a pauper for the rest of his life and should live in a doghouse for the rest of his life. He would never afford such a good house...

At that moment, my father's self-esteem burst out, so the words turned to him: "Of course, this house will be my new home and A Yang!"

Everyone was already mentally prepared, but they were still shocked by Liu Da's words.

But I saw a "whistle" sound around me.

"Oh, it's amazing, the old Liu family has really turned over!"

"As expected, the Liu family has really turned away!"

In an instant, those originally strange eyes instantly turned into envy, jealousy, and their look up to the "trash" father Liu Da---
