This thing about me becoming a girl

"Little crow, little crow, wake up!"

On the bed in the bedroom, Bei Dao Ya, who was a little sleepy in his pajamas, slowly opened his eyes after feeling his body being shaken.

Bei Daojiu sat on the head of the bed, with both hands on Bei Daojiu's body, shaking vigorously.

"Wake up, little crow! Don't forget that we have to clean up today! If we don't start, we won't have enough time!"

Hearing this, Bei Dao Ya rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his cold face was a little hazy.

And Bei Dao Jiu was still shaking Bei Dao Ya, as if Bei Dao Ya would not give up until Bei Dao Ya got out of bed.

Seeing as if if he didn't speak any more, Bei Dao Jiu was about to jump up and press down on her body, Bei Dao Ya also sat up slowly, sighed, and said.

"Wake up, wake up, stop shaking, Mom."

Hearing this, Bei Dao Jiu finally stopped what he was doing, his big bright eyes were full of joy and excitement.

"Hurry up! It's 5 o'clock, and we still have a lot of things to do!"

Hearing this, Bei Dao Ya shook his head lightly, dispelled his drowsiness, and then got up.

Immediately, after washing up, when Bei Dao Ya came out of the bathroom, Bei Dao Jiu was fully armed and changed into the clothes necessary for housekeeping. He stood in the living room with a mop on his shoulders. Open the slightest momentum!

Then, Bei Daoya also put on the apron, gloves, mask and housekeeping hat, and rushed to the battlefield.

Today is the day when the North Island apartment is cleaned up to welcome the New Year.

This is also the custom of Japanese New Year. Every year before New Year's Day, every household will carry out year-end cleaning, also called "sweeping name".

This custom is the tradition of welcoming the "God of the Year" in ancient times. Although there are very few people who care about the God of the Year nowadays, the custom of cleaning at the end of each year is still preserved.

Starting around December 12 every year, the cleaning of every household will start in full swing, and will basically end before the 23th.

In addition to the similar pronunciation of "9" and "bitterness" in Japanese, so like any custom, we will try our best to avoid December 12th, including cleaning.

Another reason is that the last time the garbage company collects garbage before the Chinese New Year is on the morning of the 30th, so every household will try their best to do a good job of cleaning before the 29th.

As for why Bei Dao's apartment was cleaned at the end of the year on the 31st, it was naturally caused by Bei Dao Jiu's work.

Because I wanted to make more money and let Xiaoya live a better life, every year during the New Year holiday, Bei Daojiu would choose to add another day of work, that is, the official holiday will be on the night of the 30th, and there will be a big cleaning time.

This also led to the fact that Bei Dao Apartment's year-end "sweep き na め" is on the 31st day. After all, there are only her and Bei Dao Ya in the house, and there are no relatives. Don't worry, so I can only wait for the holiday on the 31st.

And although Bei Daojiu no longer goes to work, she can do the cleaning anytime she wants, and she can also finish the cleaning before the 29th according to the tradition, but she still keeps this habit.

Fortunately, after moving to this community, there is an exclusive garbage station in the community, and Bei Daojiu no longer has to run a few times to the public garbage station with garbage bags as before.

The morning of December 12st at Beidaoya Apartment was still dark, so it was time for general cleaning.

Including now, all the lights in the living room are turned on, and the whole space looks extremely bright. Bei Daojiu is mopping the floor full of energy, wearing a mask and only revealing a pair of eyes, which is also full of joy.

She was into it.

And Bei Dao Ya followed behind her, bent over, and wiped the place Bei Dao Jiu dragged with a towel again.

In fact, seriously, the apartment does not need any so-called general cleaning. After all, professional housekeeping staff will come to clean the apartment twice a week, so there is no mess in the apartment. The North Island Crow knows this very well. But she still cooperates with Bei Dao Jiu.

A mother and daughter are working together in the apartment like this!

About two hours later, the sky also changed from the light of dawn to bright with a touch of white.

The cleaning is finally over, because the current apartment is much, much larger than the previous apartment, so it took the two of them more time to reach Bei Daojiu's definition of cleaning.

At this time, Bei Daojiu was sweating slightly on his forehead, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

--Nian Yueshi Buckwheat--

Japan's "big dark day", which is an alternative New Year's Eve, is different from Chinese people eating dumplings. Japanese people eat soba noodles on New Year's Eve.

It's not only eaten at night. Many families have a bowl of soba noodles for breakfast in the morning.

There is a saying that buckwheat noodles are brittle and easy to cut, so eating them on the "big dark day" also means cutting off all the troubles, illnesses and disasters of the past year.

In short, soba noodles are a regular item in Japanese New Year, which is the same as eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, Bei Dao Ya had already changed out of her housekeeping clothes, sat at the dining table, and waited patiently.

Not long after, Bei Dao Jiu came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of soba noodles.

"Will, will, will! Delicious soba noodles are freshly out of the pan! Customers from Xiaoya need to have a taste!"

Hearing this, Bei Dao Ya smiled and nodded.

"Then respect is worse than obedience, Boss Xiaojiu."

Bei Daojiu muttered in a dignified manner.

"You are not allowed to call your mother Xiao Jiu, but Da Jiu's boss!"

Hearing this, Bei Dao Ya also said seriously.

"Then, Boss Dajiu."

Bei Daojiu finally couldn't jump out, and the smile on his face was like a flower facing the sun.

"The little crow guest, please taste it!"

While speaking, she also put the buckwheat noodles in front of Bei Dao Ya.

The soba noodles are very common old Japanese traditional soba noodles. There are not as many patterns as the soba noodles now, so it looks very simple, with seaweed shreds and some chopped green onions on the gray and black noodles.

Bei Dao Ya picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'm starting."

Immediately, she put the noodles in her mouth and put them in her mouth. It was refreshing and chewy. The famous advantages of buckwheat noodles were found in this bowl of noodles.

And Bei Daojiu looked at Bei Daoya nervously, waiting for her to express her feelings.

Bei Dao Ya seemed to be reminiscing, and after a while, he gave a thumbs up.

"Delicious! As expected of a mother."

Hearing this, Bei Daojiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after being praised, a smiling and slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Immediately, she sat down and began to eat soba noodles.

Seeing that the Bei Dao Crow accidentally touched the soup on the tip of his nose because he was immersed in eating noodles just now, Bei Dao Jiu also stretched out his fingers to scrape off the slight soup stains on the tip of Bei Dao Crow's nose.

"Little Crow is such a childish ghost! You can even mess up your nose when you eat!"

Bei Daojiu said this with a smile and doting on his face.

--Gift pine--

At noon, Bei Daojiu walked outside the door of the apartment, set up a stool, stood on it, held a pine branch, hung it in front of the door, and asked Bei Daojiu from time to time if the angle was right.

Japan has the habit of "offering Kadatsu" at the door of the house before the New Year. A regular Kadatsu is made of three pillars and pine branches, and tied with a special straw rope. However, many people living in apartment buildings do not have such a large space. You can put door pine, so there are small pine branches specially sold in supermarkets, which can be hung on the door to express the intention of "welcoming God".

At this time, Bei Daojiu was holding a pine branch bought in the supermarket, standing on a stool, and kept gesticulating towards the door of the apartment, as if trying to find a suitable angle.

"Little Crow, is this position suitable?"

"I can see it."

"But...it seems a little low, will the gods think that we are not pious enough, should we not hang it higher?"

After finishing speaking, Bei Daojiu stood on tiptoe and sent the pine branches up, almost hanging on the wall above the door.

"Be careful mom, it's tall enough."

In response to Bei Dao Ya's voice was Bei Dao Jiu's exclamation, and the sound of the stool shaking: "Hey, hey! Hey!!! It's over, it's over, it's over!!"

Immediately there was a bang, but fortunately, Bei Dao Ya quickly caught Bei Dao Jiu, and then the two fell into a ball.

Lying in Bei Dao Ya's arms, Bei Dao Jiu was nervous at first, but after finding out that Bei Dao Ya was fine, his eyes began to wander, just like a child making excuses for doing something wrong and wanting to avoid responsibility.

"Mom... Mom was also careless, the quality of the stool must be too bad!"

--Year-end party--

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Bei Daojiu was busy in the kitchen full of energy, in order to be busy with dinner, which is the year-end party.

Japan's "Bengnenhui" is somewhat similar to the "New Year's Eve Dinner" in China, and they are both an essential part of the New Year.

The reason why it is called the Bnenkai is explained in Japanese dictionaries as "a dinner party that forgets all the hard work of the year", which is similar to the meaning of soba noodles before.

There is no need for Bei Dao Ya to wait too long, dinner is ready.

After all, many of the ingredients for the "Bannenhui", such as herring roe, or black beans, were prepared by Bei Daojiu in advance two days ago.

It was a great meal!Even though Bei Daojiu pursues richness in every meal on weekdays, the dinner table at this time is still much richer, and there are almost all the dishes that appear at the year-end party.

At the dinner table, Bei Daojiu talked to Bei Daoya about his goals for next year and what to do, with a longing look on his face.

Maybe it's because the more I talk about it, the more I look forward to the future, and I subconsciously mentioned that Xiaoya will be a senior in high school next year, and which university does he want to go to?

But as soon as she mentioned this matter, her words got stuck, and then she became a little depressed.

That's right, Xiaoya doesn't go to school anymore, and I don't know what Xiaoya is doing, but I feel that Xiaoya suddenly becomes so mysterious and mysterious... The distance also suddenly becomes farther away.

Seeing that Bei Daojiu stopped talking, Bei Daoya also knew what she was thinking, so after a while, he said softly.

"Mom, remember what I said before?"

Hearing this, Bei Daojiu looked up, somewhat puzzled.

And Bei Dao Ya said again.

"Whether it is high school or later university, the knowledge I have learned will be taken home and learned with my mother."

After finishing speaking, Bei Dao Ya smiled, it was real gentleness.

"Now is a good time, will mommy study with me?"

Bei Daojiu was stunned for a moment, and then his smile was very bright and innocent.

That's right, Little Crow hasn't changed from the beginning to the end.

"Yeah!" She nodded heavily.

--year's soup--

In Japan, there is a custom of taking a bath in the night of the "big dark day". Although it is just an ordinary bath, the Nianyu has a very important meaning. People believe that the last bath of the year can wash away the evil spirits of the year. Dirt, let people welcome the new year with a new look.

At this time, the bathroom was foggy, and Bei Dao Ya was lying in the bathtub, with smooth and fair skin looming.

She was sitting in the bathtub, holding her knees with her hands, her eyes were calm, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

It was already dark, and there were only a few hours left before the New Year.
