Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 92 Dust Sweeping Day (Please order first)

The courtyard was quiet at the moment, there was no sound, the cold wind was not roaring, only the crystal snowflakes kept falling from the gloomy sky.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the door of the house, smoking a cigarette, staring blankly at the snow scene in the courtyard.

There was a layer of snow on the ground in the courtyard, and the roofs of the second uncle's house and Xu Damao's house were also covered in white flowers, as well as the tops of the courtyard walls.

The ice skates were hanging upside down under the eaves, which looked a little eye-catching, but at the moment it didn't seem to be noticeable.

When Xu Qing finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, Xu Damao's door opened with a creak. Xu Damao, who was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, held a cigarette in his mouth, holding toilet paper in his right hand, trembling, and ran to the public toilet, leaving a hurried trace on the snow. a series of footprints.

However, the snow was still falling, and when Xu Qing turned around and returned to the house, the footprints were already covered with a layer of snowflakes.

It was cold outside, but warm inside. Since the beginning of winter, Xu Qing had hardly dared to let the stove fire go out at night.

Picking up the kettle on top, Xu Qing held the fire hook and fiddled with it a few times to make the fire burn brighter.

The three little ones on the kang were still sleeping soundly in their respective quilts.

Xu Fengming was always dishonest. The quilt was pushed open diagonally, and a pair of feet were exposed, resting on Xu Aiguo's quilt next to him.

Xu Qing walked over, covered the little guy with the quilt again, washed his hands, and went directly to the kitchen to light a fire and make breakfast.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing, brother and sister had breakfast on the kang in the front room.

At this time, the fire on the stove of the second aunt who lived in the backyard had just been lit for a while.

The second uncle was standing in the courtyard chatting with Xu Damao.

Now that I don't go to work, everyone has nothing to do early in the morning.

As for the snow that just fell in the courtyard, naturally there is no need to sweep it away immediately, not to mention that the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, so staying in the courtyard will make the New Year flavor even stronger.

The old lady got up early, and people of old age felt light and shallow. In fact, she woke up earlier than Xu Qing. She just sat in the room and never came out.

After Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters had breakfast, they all started cleaning.

Today is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom, it is necessary to remove the old and bring forth the new.

Clean the house, sweep away the bad luck of the year, sweep away the unhappiness of the year, and welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival and all the best for next year!
The little girl took a feather duster and swept the kang with her third brother Xu Fengming.

Xu Aiguo continued to clean the floor of the front room with a broom.

Xu Qing was cleaning in the kitchen. He first cleaned out all the ashes in the stove, and then swept it up.Immediately afterwards, he cleaned the corners and corners of other places in the kitchen carefully.

Then wipe the two surface urns and water urns with a rag.

Of course, the cupboards were tidied up as well.

At the same time, other households in the compound are also working like this today.

Firstly, on this day every year, everyone in the compound, as well as everyone in the Forty-Nine City, does this, cleaning the house and getting rid of poverty.Drive out bad luck.

Secondly, everyone is idle in their own houses, those who go to work do not need to go to work, and those who go to school do not need to go to school.

Taking advantage of this day, the whole family, young and old, will join the battle.

At the second uncle’s house, after breakfast, he was also busy cleaning.

Xu Damao lived alone, and even started cleaning the house before the second uncle's house.

His house has not been properly tidied up once this year. Today is the day every year to make it completely clean inside and out.

At this time, Xu Damao moved all the tables, chairs and benches to the door of the house, and took a broom to work in the house, which was full of dust and heat.

Because next time, we have to wait until today next year.

The deaf old lady had also been cleaning up the house for a long time. Silly Zhu and He Yuyu came to help the old lady after cleaning their house in the middle courtyard.

The Jia family in the middle court, Jia Zhang's family and Qin Huairu are also busy.

Not to mention the first uncle's house and the third uncle's family in the front yard.

Xu Qing and San Xiao only worked for more than two hours to clean the main house and the cabin next door.

The house was clean, but the three little guys were covered in dust, with a lot of dust falling on their hair and faces.

Xu Fengming held a feather duster in his hand and bared his teeth. He stood next to the big Xu Qing and looked into the room with a look on his face.I feel like I did something earth-shattering today.

However, he hadn't been arrogant for a while when Xu Qing pulled him, the little girl and his second brother Xu Aiguo to the door of the house.

Xu Qing dusted off their bodies with a feather duster.

Then let the three of them take turns using the two washbasins in the room, and quickly wash their faces and hair again.

The little girl and Xu Fengming finished washing first and sat on the bench in front of the stove, waiting to dry.

The snow was still falling in the courtyard outside, Xu Qing didn't want them to go out with their wet hair.

Xu Fengming was bored. He stood up and walked to the edge of the kang. He took the comic book he had read several times to the stove and started reading it again with the little girl.

Xu Aiguo was washing his hair, and Xu Qing took the ladle to scoop out cold water from the kitchen vat and poured it into the pot.

After Shazhu and He Yushui helped the old lady clean up the house, they came to Xu Qing's house to visit.

Silly Zhu ate the fried pumpkin seeds given by the old lady and threw them into his mouth without spitting out the skin. He chewed them a few times and swallowed them.

He Yuyu was not as rough as him. After walking into Xu Qing's house, he reached out and gave some of the fried pumpkin seeds given by the old lady to the little girl and Xu Fengming.

Then he sat on the edge of the Kang, carefully peeled it open with his fingers, and ate it elegantly.

Silly Zhu gave Xu Qing a lot. In fact, the old lady didn't give him much, but Silly Zhu didn't like eating it very much. After all, fried pumpkin seeds are not as delicious as sunflower seeds.

Silly Zhu is a cook and knows everything that produces oil, so peanuts are his favorite, followed by sunflower seeds and walnuts.

"Hey, Qingzi, your hands and feet are very nimble. The house has been cleaned."

Silly Zhu looked around the room, took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing found the lighter on his body, lit cigarettes for Sha Zhu and himself, and said with a smile:
"It's not bad. With the help of my brothers and sisters, it only takes an hour or two."

Silly Zhu turned his head and looked at Xu Fengming in front of the stove, raised his butt from the upper body of the kang, with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, with a smirk on his face, he tiptoed to the back of the little guy, and quickly stretched his left hand towards Xu Fengming's neck.

Suddenly the little guy stumbled and almost hit the stove.

Fortunately, Shazhu had a sense of humor when joking, and blocked his right hand in front of the stove in advance.

The little guy turned his head, pursed his mouth at Shazhu, and rolled his eyes.

At the same time, he said to He Yushui who was sitting on the edge of the kang:
"Sister Yuzhu, brother Yuzhu is trying to kill me. Just take care of him."

He Yushui wanted to take care of it, but she knew that her eldest brother had this temperament and couldn't change it.

If she really changed, the happiest person in the compound would be her as a younger sister.

Silly Zhu grinned and laughed:
"Boy, have you learned how to rescue soldiers? Yushui is my sister, it's useless for you to find her!"

"Hmph, then I'll find my elder brother and let him clean up!"

Xu Fengming raised his head, stood up and walked towards his elder brother Xu Qing.

Silly Zhu winked and made a grimace, the angry little guy hasn't come to Xu Qing yet.

He turned around and rushed towards Sha Zhu, and got into a fight with him.
