Jiang Fang is the illegitimate son of Han Cheng, the deceased husband of Old Lady Jiang.
Although Yan Guohui was very annoyed by Old Madam Jiang's sharp tongue, he also disliked Jiang Fang!
You bullying bastard!
I beat him a lot when he was a kid!
Yan Guohui's face was ashen. "If you have something to say, go and talk to Old Madam Jiang."
She'll spit on you until she's dead!
The man shrank back; he dared not go.
Last time, his wife said a few good things about Jiang Fang and his sister in front of Grandma Jiang, and Grandma Jiang scolded her so badly that she didn't eat for three days and was furious!
With Granny Jiang in charge of Quanshui Village, no one dared to cause trouble, and the houses were built very quickly. The roof beams would be raised in seven days.
The date for raising the roof beam is very important. It is usually chosen on a day that includes the sixth or ninth day of the lunar calendar, and the time is usually noon.
To coincide with this auspicious date, the roof beam was raised at noon on September 29th.
Early that morning, Li Ying and some neighbors started steaming white flour buns the size of a three-month-old baby's fist. After they were steamed, they would put red dots in the middle of the buns.
Li Xiangdong went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy colorful fruit candies and exchanged them for one-cent coins, a total of one hundred coins.
Li Chang solemnly pasted a couplet on the roof beam, the first line of which read "Raising the roof beam coincides with an auspicious day", and the second line read "Erecting the pillars coincides with the Purple Star".
This was written by Li Xiangdong himself on red paper with a brush.
The sun reached its zenith at noon.
Li Chang began reciting the celebratory song for the raising of the roof beam.
"Step by step, one ascends the cloud ladder; with hands, one grasps the flower branches and plucks the immortal peaches."
If you ask where I'm going, I'm going to Jinliang.
Looking up, a dragon stretches high, shaking its head and wagging its tail as it ascends;
It has taken its place in the air, waiting for its owner to come and hang it up in red.
Hang red banners on the nine dragon heads, and you'll have a bountiful harvest every year.
A red banner hangs at the tail of the nine dragons, signifying an official who loves the people and is as pure as water.
As you sing the joyful song of mindfulness, look up and see the Three Immortals of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity arriving.
There's the God of Increased Fortune, the God of Increased Longevity, and Liu Hai scattering money.
First, gold was scattered; second, silver was scattered; third, mules and horses formed a herd.
Gold and silver are scattered on the precious beams, bringing wealth and prosperity for ten thousand years.
