my daughter my hometown

Chapter 394 Send Stove King

Su Wu walked into his yard.

Under the Bitong tree, Su Wan was carefully cleaning the fallen leaves.

"Yo. Whose little aunt is so obedient and knows how to help adults clean?"

The little girl grimaced happily, "Father, grandma said that the New Year will be better if the house is cleaned up."

"Well, grandma is right. The new year is coming soon." Su Wu wiped the sweat off his daughter's forehead with emotion.

"However, many brothers and sisters are playing hide-and-seek outside. If you are tired at night, go and play with the children."

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.

She looked up to the east, but shook her head, "No. Clean the yard first tonight, and then go out to play."

After speaking, the little girl waved the toy broom more diligently.

Su Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

That toy broom is smaller than his palm, and it is estimated that picking up fallen leaves by hand is faster than it.If you use it to clean the three yards at home, you can almost pass Yuanxiao after cleaning.

Shaking his head, Su Wu drew a small circle under the tree.

"Wanwan, since you want to help. Then you clean the leaves on the swing."

"Clean them up, Mom will be happy when she gets home. Ask grandma to make you something delicious tonight."

"Oh." The swing stand is Su Wan's favorite place.

She ran over happily, sweeping away the few fallen leaves.

"Dad, where is Mom? Everyone is cleaning, but Mom is not here."

"Hmph, what a slob."

Shhh!
Su Wu hurriedly lowered his voice: "Wanwan, keep your voice down. If you let mom hear what you just said, even dad can't protect you."

The little girl shrank her neck in fright.Looking left and right, she was relieved to see only her aunt with a blank face around her.

Su Wu was a little puzzled, but didn't think much about it.

"Your mom isn't lazy. She just has some work to do. When she's done, she'll come home and clean up with everyone."

Wen Lan is a little busy now.

In the last few days at the end of the year, she had to inspect the unowned houses in the village and visit the childless people.Then arrange manpower to clean and maintain those houses, or send some new year goods to the widowed and lonely old people.

These things should have been done by the clan wife when the twelfth lunar month first entered.It's just that the Wenlan people were outside at that time, so they had to take up the current year-sweeping time.

After all, they are some gloomy and dilapidated old houses. At the beginning, Su Wu was worried that Wen Lan would be afraid, so he accompanied her around specially.

The results surprised him.

Not only is Wen Lan not afraid, but every time she enters a house, she is excitedly flipping through the contents of the old house, as if she were on a treasure hunt.

Since Wen Lan was not afraid, Su Wu went home to help.

He took a big broom and swept up the yard.

The family is big and the business is big, the two families have six yards in total, plus various furniture, doors and windows, several people are busy.

Fortunately, Su Ping's house hasn't been moved in yet, just a few symbolic cleanings are enough.

I don't know how long it took, Su Wu looked at the messy flower bed in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Just based on this delicate handwriting and the faint footprints in the flower bed, he can know who is the instigator without asking him.

Look back.

Su Wan had finished sweeping the fallen leaves under the swing at some point, and was holding some vegetable leaves and catching some small fish to feed the rice balls.

As if sensing her father's gaze, the little girl looked up.

She beckoned and beckoned, "Father, after the meal is full, go and play with Aunt Min every night."

"Go, go." Su Wu was a little helpless.

Su Wan left with the two animals.

When everyone finished work in the evening, the little girl held her mother's hand and bounced back home.

"Father," she ran over, happily raising the red thing in her hand, "Look! Grandma gave Wan Wan a beautiful piece of paper."

"Oh? What is this?" Su Wu took it and took a look.

It turned out to be some paper-cuts.

What ducks play with lotuses, flowers bloom for wealth, deer and cranes are in the same spring, national beauty and heavenly fragrance... everything that one expects to find.The cut is lifelike.

The little girl climbed onto the stone bench next to her with a grunt.

She admired the paper-cuts with a smile on her face, "Dad, can we paste them on the wall every night after everyone cleans the house?"

"No hurry," Su Wu shook his head, "The Chinese New Year paper-cuts can only be pasted during the Chinese New Year."

He hehe scratched his daughter's little nose, "Wanwan, are you sure grandma cut these?"

"Hmm." The little girl nodded repeatedly.

Su Wu silently took a sip of the tea, feeling a little disbelieving in his heart.

Aunt Ma watched him and Su Xue grow up.

Aunt Ma knows how to cut paper, but she is limited to simple figures like Double Happiness.The complex patterns in front of her eyes were obviously beyond her ability.

Cough!

Wen Lan next to her coughed twice, "Grandma Seventeen cut it."

At noon, she took several bunches of yard keys and passed by a house in the southeast of the village.I happened to meet Aunt Seventeen with gray hair, so I insisted on giving her some paper-cuts.

In terms of seniority, that woman is naturally one of Su Wan's grandmas.

The house is so big that it took two or three days just to clean it.

It wasn't until Wen Zhengyang and Wen Bai went to Yangxin Valley to help out together that they could barely clean it up.

During the period, Aunt Ma also came over specially to tell Su Wu to remember to send the Stove Lord to heaven.

Kitchen Lord?
The family subconsciously looked towards the second floor.

If Aunt Ma hadn't come to mention it, they would have completely forgotten about it.

Su Wu reacted and nodded quickly, "Understood, Auntie. We will prepare right away."

When he entered the house, Su Ping invited a statue of the Stove Lord for his nephew.

It's just that there is no stove at home.Usually, whether it is cooking or cooking, electrical appliances are used.The Stove Lord had no choice but to place it high on the wall.

Recently, everyone has been so busy that no one pays attention to the Stove Lord on the wall. I really forgot this tradition for a while.

After Aunt Ma left, Xi Qiuhua hurriedly asked Su Wu and Su Xue, "How can Yangxin Valley send the Stove Lord to heaven?"

The Su Wu brothers and sisters naturally didn't understand, Zhi Zhi Wu Wu couldn't speak, so they ran over to ask Aunt Ma again.

Not long after, Su Wu came back with a bowl of sticky glutinous rice.

Su Wan came up to meet her, looking at the brown sugar on the rice brightly, "Father, is the sugar rice sweet?"

"Sugar is naturally sweet." Su Wu couldn't understand what his daughter was thinking, and said with a smile, "But this bowl of glutinous rice is for the Stove Lord, so you can't touch it at night."

Su Xue quickly stuffed a jujube for her niece, and asked her to play aside, then watched her cousin busy with interest.

Su Wu first offered glutinous rice and sugar rice to the altar of the Stove Lord, and explained with a smile.

"The Stove Lord can hear our usual words and deeds. Auntie said to use sugar rice to sweeten the Stove Lord's mouth and stick it. It will save him from speaking ill of us in front of the Jade Emperor."

He doesn't believe it.But in order to avoid the nagging of the elders, he will do what Aunt Ma says.

"Go, go!" Xi Qiuhua hastily pushed aside his confused son-in-law, "What should I do when I get down? I'll do it!"

Uh.

Su Wu pondered and found a bottle of rice wine.

"Provide some wine to Lord Stove so that he can get drunk so he can go on his way."

"Prepare some grass, sesame stalks and pine branches in the evening, just take off the statue and burn it together. It's not troublesome."

Su Xue nodded.At this moment, she finally remembered some memories, and hurried out, "I know someone who has sesame sticks, I'll go get some."

"Sesame sticks and pine branches, are they all burned in the kitchen?" Xi Qiuhua was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly removed all kinds of electrical appliances.

"No." Su Wu haha ​​pointed to the courtyard below, "It's in the courtyard."

In the evening, Su Ping, who had been busy all day, finally returned home.

When he saw the posture in the yard, he immediately reacted and rushed to help.

Compared with Su Wu, he was much more serious.

Not only offered sugar rice to the Stove King, but even took some sugar rice and paste it on the mouth of the god.Tell the Stove Lord not to talk nonsense.

Please take out the portraits, sprinkle the grain and grass for the horses, and send the Stove King to the sky with the rising sesame stalks and evergreen pine branches.
