Chapter 218 House Banquet
More than half a month later, there was no garbage dumping in the garbage station. Su Jing had a very leisurely life. In addition to cultivation, he fed his pets, raised flowers and plants, and enjoyed himself. One thing that is very gratifying is that the first floor of the building has finally been reinforced, and the second, third and fourth floors have also been decorated. Some newly purchased furniture has also been moved in.
Su Jing is standing on the side of the small swimming pool in front of the villa on the top of the building, taking in the cool sea breeze. Looking around, there is nothing blocking his vision and it is absolutely open. In the East, there is an endless sea. In the west, there are villages. In the north and south, there are winding coasts. Such beautiful scenery makes people relaxed and happy.
Su Jing can’t wait to move in. Although the building has just been decorated, it’s not suitable for living, because there are poisonous gases such as formaldehyde, Su Jing is afraid of living in the tent, and doesn’t want to wait any longer. As long as she keeps ventilating and has her own physical fitness, it should be ok.
However, the rural area pays attention to the ceremony. Before the ceremony of entering the house, you can’t live in it. Although Su Jing doesn’t care much about it, his father and villagers care about it, so he has to do as they said. So, after preparing and doing the ceremony, he will move in.
October 1st is coming soon. Su Jing’s father, Su Zhenyue, his mother, Ye Qin, and his sister, Su Ya, came back one day earlier for Su Jing’s house ceremony. If they knew that Su Jing was going to build such a high building, Su Zhenhong and Ye Qin would definitely disagree. But Su Jing gave them no choice in the matter. Of course, after seeing the tall and magnificent building, they can’t help but feel proud. Their son is really capable.
Early in the morning, Su Jing, Su Zhenyue, Ye Qin, Su Ya, Su Zhenhong, Zhao Mengxiang, and others moved tools from Su Zhenhong’s home, because they could not move in before the ceremony. Last night, Su Jing’s family of three lived in his uncle’s home.
“Uncle, are you moving into that building?” Su Yan takes Su Jing’s hand and says with a happy face.
“Yeah.” Su Jing nodded.

“Of course, you can always come and go.” Su Jing smiled.
“Great.” Su Yan was so happy that all the elders couldn’t help laughing. But Su Yan is over-excited. She kicked a raised stone on the road and nearly fell down. Su Jing had to pick her up.
“A’Jing, don’t hold this little girl, It’s time to start.” Su Zhenhong said, the ceremony was to invite the so-called Feng Shui master to pick a good day. It was decided to start this ceremony at 9 AM on October 1st, it is now 8:40.
“Ok.” Su Jing put Su Yan down and helped prepare.
“Yanyan, please don’t make trouble.” Su Ya smiles and pinches Su Yan’s face.
“Ok.” Su Yan bobbled her head up and down.
The entrance ceremony of Su Family Village is actually not complicated. There are three main steps: cross the brazier, pray, blow boiling water.
Cross the brazier is to put a fire pot on the door and burn gold and silver clothes paper and then follow the order from the elder to the younger and take their blessings. Than take brooms, rice bowls, chopsticks, and other tools and cross the basin. You can also take sugarcane. The moral is to rise early every day to start his work in accordance with nature.
Blessing is to divide the prepared apples, peanuts, sweets, roast meat, chicken and copper coins into five categories after entering the house. One in the hall and one in the four corners. Then light up 21 incense sticks, first facing the main door and then began to roam from the left side and move around the whole house with incense once, saying some blessing words such as “home is safe and healthy, the family is harmonious”. Later, the unburned incense candles are inserted in the center and four corners of the hall, which are called “worship the four corners” and “worship the land”, hoping for the health and safety of the family in the future.
Blowing boiling water, also known as “water from the wind”. He will go to the kitchen to light up the fire and bring a pot of boiling water. After that, he will put it in the center of the hall, and find a fan that can turn around. He will blow it back and forth towards the boiling water. The whole room needs to become steaming hot, which means that water from the wind will rise, and the whole ceremony will be completed.
It didn’t take long for the Su Jing family to finish the steps of entering the house one by one, and then they can open fire to cook and entertain their relatives and friends. The picture is hot and noisy, just for one word “Prosperous”.
Su Jing not only invited a lot of relatives and friends, but also invited all villagers of Su family village. There are not too many tables, even if it is spacious in the building, it is not easy to place, so chairs are all placed in the yard, with dozens of tables.
In this way, there are so many things like tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, cooking, etc. that the Su Jing family can’t make a decision. So they invited some handy villagers to help. Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and others naturally want to join in the help, and then everyone will send a red envelope.
Towards noon, they were almost ready. The villagers and guests of the Su family village came in an endless stream. It was amazing to see the high and luxurious buildings.
“Zhenyue, your A’jing is so promising.”
“How much money it took to build such a tall building?”
“My son is the same age as A’jing. Forget about making a building. He can’t afford to build a hut.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmListening to the praises of the folks, Su Zhenyue and Ye Qin are more proud in their hearts and their thought of trying to teach Su Jing a lesson in spending money without thought is getting weaker.
In the nearby village, everyone also heard about the completion of Su Jing’s building. There are various voices with admiration, envy, and jealousy. There is no doubt that Su Jing is the best one in many villages, even in the whole town.
At the entrance of the village, a bus stopped. Now the road from the village to the downtown has been built into a cement road, and the bus has passed. Two young men dragged their suitcases to get out of the bus. One was about 30 years old, tall and powerful, and the other was twenty-four or twenty-five years old and he looked gentle.
“Big Brother, Brother Bin.” Su Liang and Su Xiaolin, who were carrying several boxes of fish to Su Jing’s home with a tractor, stopped and exclaimed in surprise. Su Ruliang, the father of Su Yan is Su Jing’s cousin. He is the oldest of the younger generation of Su family village. Therefore, the younger generation in the whole village collectively referred to him as the elder brother. Su Chengbin is another college student in the village, one year older than Su Jing. They work in different companies, but in the same city, they had an appointment to come back together by bus.
“A’Liang, Little Lin, where did you get so many fish?” Su Ruliang asked.
“The fish farm, we are taking them to A’Jing home.” Su Liang replied.
“I almost forgot, A’Jing invested in a fish farm, we will go see it later,” Su Ruliang said.
“The party has already begun. Go ahead.” Su Xiaolin laughs.
“I didn’t expect A’Jing to build a building earlier than me. I’d like to see how he built it. In the future, I’ll build a building twice the size and twice the height.” Su Chengbin laughs. He’s a little behind in the news. He only knows Su Jing’s building, but he doesn’t know how high it is.
As two college students in the village, Su Jing and he are only one year away from each other. It’s hard to avoid a bit of a comparison between them. He graduated more than two years ago, and he has mixed well. His monthly salary is more than ten thousand. Of course, it’s just a positive comparison. When Su Jing was half younger brother, he didn’t take care of Su Jing when he was in primary school, junior high school and senior high school. During the period when Su Jing was unemployed, he didn’t give Su Jing any job introduction.
“That… Brother Bin, you just have a look.” Su Liang and Su Xiaolin look slightly strange. They can’t bear to crack down on Su Chengbin. Although Su Chengbin has done a good job, now Su Jing is a real super-local tyrant, which can’t be compared with. (to be continued)
