Chapter 59

The day when the beam was laid was coming soon, Su Wan prepared the pig's head, big rooster, wine, firecrackers and incense candles that had been prepared in advance early in the morning, and carried them to the new house in a basket.

Chang Shan and the workers also came early today. The difference is that the carriage that used to be filled with green bricks every day was replaced with a thick and long piece of wood, with a flower tied in the middle tied with red satin into a big red flower.

"Boss Chang, you are here." Su Wan put the basket in the corner and greeted Chang Shan.

"Miss Su, are all the things ready?" Chang Shan jumped off the carriage and asked.

"It's all ready, it's all in the pannier over there." Su Wan pointed to the pannier in the corner and said.

"Okay, let's unload the girder from the carriage first and get ready. We will officially start loading the girder at [-] o'clock." Chang Shan turned around to beckon the workers to unload the girder, then turned to look at Su Wan and asked, "Who is calling Liang?" Has anyone been found?"

"I found it. It's my great-grandfather. My mother went to invite her." Su Wan said with a smile.

"That's good, I'll go get ready first." Chang Shan walked away after speaking, and Su Wan stepped aside to watch them busy.

Su Wan's house was about to be erected, which was considered a lively event in Hexi Village. The villagers gathered around to watch, pointing and discussing from time to time. They were all envious, jealous, or sighing.

The village head, Liu Dazhu, also rushed over. Su Wan had asked him to calm down the situation for her earlier, and gave him a knife of pork and ten catties of white noodles as a thank you gift. Of course, he was very attentive.

Seeing that Chang Shan and the workers were almost ready, and the hour was approaching, Su Wan couldn't help but looked towards the east of the village, why didn't the grandfather come?Wouldn't it be a change of mind?
Village head Liu Dazhu walked up to Su Wan and asked, "Girl Wan, who did you find this man called Liang? The hour is almost here, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Here we come." Suddenly, Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she raised her feet and ran towards the two figures in the distance.

Everyone looked in that direction, wondering who Su Wan had found to call Liang for her.

The sharp-eyed person recognized Su Chengcai, and shouted in surprise: "Oh my god, isn't that Su Chengcai?"

"Su Chengcai? Why is he here?"

"Su Chengcai? Who is it?"

……

The older ones who knew about Su Chengcai all started talking in shock, while the younger ones didn't know who Su Chengcai belonged to, so they all started to gossip and dragged the people around them to ask.

Everyone's attention was on Su Chengcai, and no one saw a person sneaking out from the crowd, ran to the corner where Su Wan put his back basket to fiddle with for a while, then got up and left quietly.

Su Wan trotted up to meet Su Chengcai, took his other arm and said with a smile, "Master, you are here, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, it's not hard work." Su Chengcai said with a cheerful smile: "One family doesn't talk about two families, so you are not allowed to be so polite with the grandfather in the future, remember?"

"Remember, grandpa, you can do whatever you say." Su Wan smiled and walked forward with Su Chengcai's arm.

At this time, the village chief Liu Dazhu also came up to welcome him, and called out respectfully: "Uncle Su, you are here."

"Hey, this is Dazhu, right?" Su Chengcai chuckled and said, "My girl Wan has told me that you have helped her a lot, and my old man is here to thank you for my great-granddaughter. "

"Oh, don't dare to act, don't dare to act, this is what I should do." Liu Dazhu hurriedly took Su Chengcai's arm from Qin's hand, and together with Su Wan helped him to the front of the new house.

The villagers all spontaneously gave way and looked at Su Chengcai with different expressions.

Su Chengcai kept a smile on his face and walked over without looking sideways. When someone came up to greet him, he responded very naturally.

This made those who knew the previous events very surprised. They couldn't understand why Su Chengcai had seldom contacted people in the past ten years. Why did he come to call Su Wan this time? Nothing happened.

And everyone looked at Su Wan with extremely complicated expressions. The old people knew that Su Chengcai had left the old Su family back then, and logically speaking, he was no longer part of the Su family.

Why didn't Su Wan invite her grandfather Su De to call Liang for her instead of inviting someone who is not from the Su family?

This seems to be against the rules. I don't know what Su De will think when he finds out.

Su Wan doesn't care about other people's eyes and thoughts at all, she only knows that she is very satisfied with Su Chengcai's performance, it seems that he must have completely figured it out in the past few days, she likes her grandfather very much, and treats her very much temper.

Standing in front of the new house, Su Wan introduced Boss Chang and Su Chengcai, and the two greeted each other.

Chang Shan said again: "Grandpa, it's almost time now, why don't we start setting up altars?"

"Sure, bring something." Su Chengcai nodded and said while rolling up his sleeves.

"Okay, I'll get it." Su Wan trotted to the corner of the wall and carried the pannier on her back.

Chang Shan ordered someone to set the table long ago, Su De bent down, first took out the pig's head and set it up, then reached for the big rooster with bound feet and wings, when he took it out, he found that the big cock had its head drooping and its body was cold, Already dead.

"What, what's going on here?" Su Chengcai's expression changed, and he looked at Su Wan.

Su Wan's complexion also changed. When she brought it in the morning, she was still alive and kicking. Why did she die in such a short time?

Su Wan took the big cock over and checked it, and found that someone had broken its neck. Su Wan's face turned cold, and she looked up at the surrounding villagers. Who on earth hated her so much, and actually played tricks behind her back at this time.

The custom in the village is to use a live rooster to pour wine on its comb when the beam is erected. If the rooster shakes its head, it means that all the gods agree, and the beam can be mounted. It means the more auspicious it is.

However, the rooster died before the ceremony started, which is the greatest unlucky thing.

If you can't immediately find a live rooster to replace it, today's beam won't work.

The faces of Chang Shan and the others are also very ugly. Who the hell is so hateful? If the beam fails today, it will destroy the momentum of the master's family. Moreover, this is something that their engineering team is very taboo about. It will be difficult to receive projects in the future.

Su Chengcai looked at the crowd with a gloomy face, and said, "Fellow folks, if my old man or my great-grandson daughter offends someone in the daily life, please come to us in an open and aboveboard manner, what kind of trick is this black hand? "

The villagers have different expressions, you look at me, I look at you, all suspicious of each other.

"Or, if any fellow villagers saw who did it, please tell them. My old man promises not to treat him badly." After Su Chengcai finished speaking, he glanced over the faces of every villager with piercing eyes.

None of the villagers spoke, and there was silence all around.

Suddenly a big fiery red rooster was held up in front of Su Wan, before Su Wan could react, she heard someone say in a deep voice: "It's important to mount the beam, use this rooster first, and talk about other things later. "
