Chapter 157. Chapter 156.

After lunch, Xiang Jin took out the calendar and looked through it, but the calendar only marked the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, and didn't say which day was suitable for what to do and what was not suitable for what to do, so Xiang Jin went to Aunt Liao and asked her where There is no old almanac.

Aunt Liao shook her head, "It's nothing, I only have a calendar on the roof of my house, and that was at the beginning of the year, and your father Bingchong gave me one, saying that it was sent to their village cadres in the village. There were quite a few of them, so I asked him for one, what the hell, what do you want old Huang Li for?"

Xiang Jin said, "Isn't our house about to be erected? I want to check to see which day is suitable for beam erection this month."

Aunt Liao thought about it, then nodded suddenly, "Hey, yes, yes, yes, pick a good day, but you can ask your grandpa Zeng and the others. I saw that there was an old man in his place last year. Huang Li, your sixth uncle and his family asked him to look up the life last year, maybe they have it this year."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then walked out of the room.

Just after turning the corner out of the yard, Xiang Jin saw Han Che and Yan Chen squatting in a clearing on the side of the road, burning the clothes they wore yesterday. Han Che greeted her when he saw her, " Xiang Jin, have your clothes been burned, and if they haven't burned, can you bring them together?"

Xiang Jin said, "I burned it, I burned it yesterday afternoon."

Han Che said, "We forgot about it yesterday, so I remembered it just now, so I took it out and burned it."

Xiang Jin nodded, Yan Chen dropped the stick in his hand and stood up, looked at Xiang Jin and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "A little bit, but it's not a big deal. Is Grandpa Zeng at home?"

Yan Chen nodded slightly, "At home."

Xiang Jin pointed in the direction of their house, "Then you burn slowly, I will go in first."

"Okay," Yan Chen squatted down again, picked up the stick he had thrown away just now, and fiddled with the clothes that hadn't burned out a few more times to make them burn more thoroughly.

As soon as Xiang Jin arrived at their place, Grandpa Zeng stood on the eaves of the street, looked at her and asked with a smile, "Girl Jin, what do you want me to do?"

"Grandpa Zeng, did you hear that?" Xiang Jin was startled, then asked back.

Grandpa Zeng nodded, "I heard you talking to Boy Yan and the others just now."

Xiang Jin nodded and asked, "Grandpa Zeng, does your family have an old calendar?"

"Is it a matter of putting up beams and roofing the house?" Grandpa Zeng asked.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, my grandma said that the bricks should be laid in our house in about a week, and then the beams and tiles should be laid. She said that the beams must be erected on an auspicious day. But our family does not have the old calendar, Aunt Liao asked me to ask if your family has any."

Grandpa Zeng nodded, "There is such a thing in the countryside. You come in first, and I'll check it out for you."

Then the two entered the room, Grandma Mo poured Xiang Jin a glass of water, thanked Xiang Jin and took a sip, Grandma Mo sat beside her and looked at her, then asked with a smile, "The house is going to be built? I heard you talking to your great grandfather in the house."

The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth raised, "It seems so."

Grandma Mo nodded, "It's a good thing," she said reluctantly after following her, "But when you move to Huangye Bay, it will be deserted here."

"Yeah, we are also quite reluctant to part with you and Aunt Liao, but it's okay, we will often come here to visit you when the time comes," Xiang Jin sighed immediately, and then comforted her.

"Oh, they are all in the same bay. It's just a little farther away when the time comes. It's not that we can't see each other. Why are you sighing?" Grandpa Zeng took out an old almanac from the back room, just listening When she saw her mother's conversation, she said.

Grandma Mo said, "You old man, you speak so harshly. When I saw you, you were the one I was most unaccustomed to. You have a naughty mouth. If you can't eat the delicious food made by Jin girl every now and then, you are not allowed to eat it here." Complain in front of me?"

Grandpa Zeng was taken aback immediately, and then smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it either."

Seeing the two of them bickering, Xiang Jin couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Thanks to Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo, you don't dislike them, but if you have anything you want to eat in the future, you can also tell me, I will make it." Well, I’ll send it here for you, it’s not too far anyway, it’s only a few minutes and 10 minutes away at most.”

Grandpa Zeng said, "This is good, this is good."

Grandma Mo slapped Grandpa Zeng across the face, "Hurry up and see the day, are you really being rude?"

"Oh, okay, okay," Grandpa Zeng quickly picked up the old almanac and began to read it carefully.

After a while, he said, "There are still a few days in August that are suitable for going to the beam," and after he finished speaking, he turned the book to Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin saw that on the 22nd, 24th, 25th, 28th, [-]th, [-]nd, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th, these days are all suitable for going to the beam.

Grandma Mo also saw it, and said, "But the second, fifth, and sixth have passed, and only the ninth, tenth, 22nd, 24th, 25th, and 28th are left. .

But today is the [-]th, and the brick in their house will take about a week to be placed, so the [-]th and [-]th must not work, so it means that there are only the last few days left? "

Grandpa Zeng nodded, "Yes, there are only four days left: the 22nd, 24th, 25th, and 28th, but the 28th happens to be the July and a half of the Ghost Festival, so this If the days are not good, you have to get rid of them."

Xiang Jin made a decision directly, "Then just choose one of the three days on the 22nd, 24th, and 25th."

Then at this moment, Han Che and Yan Chen walked in one after another from the outside after burning their clothes, and Han Che said, "Xiang Jin, just choose number 22, I want to eat your upper beam Go back after the wedding, if it's too late, I probably won't be able to make it."

Yan Chen looked at him sideways and frowned, "Are you going to stay so late before going back?"

Han Che said, "Of course, Xiang Jin is also my friend after all. I'm sure I'll congratulate them for repairing the house. Why, aren't you happy that I'll stay here for a few more days?"

Yan Chen said, "That's not true."

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng also denied it respectively, and Grandma Mo said, "You have lived in your grandpa and grandma's house for a long time, and grandpa and grandma are very happy."

Han Che immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed into a smile, "I knew that grandpa and grandma liked me," he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Yan Chen after speaking.

Yan Chen squinted at him angrily.

Han Che quickly shifted his gaze to Xiang Jin, and when he saw Xiang Jin, he smiled at him and said, "Thank you, thank you! Okay, then it will be on the 22nd."

"Yeah!" Han Che happily made a scissorshand comparison.

But before he finished his joy, he heard Yan Chen say, "You just decided the date hastily?"

Xiang Jin heard his implication, so he said, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"

Yan Chen nodded, "It's true, why don't you know?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't know."

Yan Chen said, "I thought you should know about some customs in the countryside?"

Xiang Jin was stunned.

Then Yan Chen said, "I read in a book before that the selection of the auspicious day for building a house in the countryside depends not only on whether the day itself is suitable or not, but also on whether your family's birthday falls on that day or not." Offend.

It may be that the day itself is indeed a good day, but it is not necessarily a suitable day for your family to do business, so you have to choose a day that is suitable for all the birthdays of your family.

Moreover, the choice of the time point of the beam lifting is also very particular, not all the time of the day is suitable, it is only suitable for a specific time point of that day.

For example, some are suitable for eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning, some are suitable for one or two o'clock in the afternoon, some are suitable for three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and some are suitable for five or six o'clock. "

"Ah? There are so many things to pay attention to?" Xiang Jin looked at Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng with a surprised expression.

Han Che also said, "I'll go, it's so complicated."

The two old men nodded, "There are indeed such things."

Xiang Jin said to himself there, "Then which day and time is suitable for our family? If you don't want to wait for a few days, you should delay it until September?"

Grandma Mo said, "At that time, you can go to the town to find that blind man Wang to help you calculate."

"Blind Wang?" Xiang Jin asked thoughtfully.

Grandma Mo nodded, "Well, Blind Wang, he is a famous fortune teller here, as long as you tell him your birthday, he will be able to calculate your fortune and fortune in this life, which is very effective. Well, many people on our side ask him to calculate the date.

He doesn't ask for much money, and the customers give it to them. A few cents or a few yuan is fine. In short, it's up to each person's heart, but many people give one yuan, two yuan, and some give three or four yuan. Yes, but this is rare. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, so is he in town every day?"

Grandma Mo shook her head, "I'm not sure about that."

Grandpa Zeng said, "Usually he's on the street right there on the spot, on the other side of Heping Road. His stall is next to a shop called 'Liaoji Chaoshou'. You can go and see it. It's easy to find. A rough About the same age as us, an old man with a white beard, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and wearing a long navy blue coat all year round."

"Oh, good," Xiang Jin nodded, then thanked her, and got up to go home.

But she was thinking about another thing when she was walking on the road, that is, listening to how much Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng admired him, that blind Wang seemed to be a very powerful person, but she didn't know if she went to him, what would he do? Will they realize that she is an outsider by then?Then what should I do if I say it out again?
Xiang Jin was a little confused and a little guilty.
