To say that you started from scratch is to start from scratch.

The end of Laba is a small year, and there are different days in the north and south, some are the twenty-third of the lunar month, and some are the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, but no matter which day, the thing to do is the same, that is, to sweep the dust and sacrifice the stove.

Sweeping is the literal meaning of the word, cleaning.

Cleaning the environment, disassembling and washing bedding, cleaning utensils, sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, dusting cobwebs, dredging ditches and ditches, is very comprehensive.

Here, dust has the meaning of "Chen", which mainly means to remove the old and welcome the new.

Under normal circumstances, this work is enough for ordinary people to do for a day, and even Lin Lin completed it in advance, and then with Xu Wen, he symbolically dusted off dust everywhere with a feather duster.

Xu Wen followed her seriously, and found that she had cleaned it really thoroughly before, even the bottom of the incense burner and the cracks in the window lattices, which were particularly easy to get dirty, were clean and spotless.

Obviously, although it is only a temporary place, she also runs it as seriously as a family.

Xu Wen's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at her.

Although the home is very clean, even Lin Lin is still checking very carefully, looking behind the shelf. She stretched her neck, her hair half-hanging and fluttering around the thin white neck.

Xu asked the ghost to send a messenger and swept her neck with the duster in his hand.

In an instant, even Lin Lin's whole person jumped up, covering his neck and shouting, "What are you doing!"

"Uh, sweeping the dust by the way. Xu Wen didn't know why he did this, so he quickly took back the duster and looked up at the sky.

"I got ash on my neck?" Lian Linlin was shocked, and hurriedly went to find a mirror, and after a while, the voice came, "No, it's clean." ”

"That must have been dusted off by me. Xu Wen raised his voice and said.

"You are talking nonsense! You must be lying to me!" Lian Linlin shouted.

"I didn't lie to you, I just dusted it off. ”

"You're a liar!"

The two quarreled for a long time, and Lian Tianqing walked in and heard it, frowning and said, "What's so noisy about this, even if there is ash, can't it be washed?"

Even Lin Lin puffed out his face and stopped talking, Xu Wen touched his face, and felt that the noise just now was very boring.

But he's really a little weak-hearted.

There was indeed no ash on Lian Linlin's neck just now, but he Mo Ming felt that the elegant curve felt a bit like a beautifully shaped vase, so he subconsciously did it......

Until now, he still has the impression of that moment in his mind, which is really very beautiful, and people can't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Okay, don't mess around!

Xu Wen suddenly came back to his senses and slapped himself.

He and Lian Linlin are people from two worlds, and it is impossible to be together. Since it's impossible, don't reach out in the first place!

"What's the sound? There are mosquitoes again?" Lian Linlin heard the sound and hurriedly ran over to ask, immediately forgetting that he was arguing with Xu Wen just now.

"It's okay, the next step is the sacrificial stove, right, what are you going to do?" Xu Wen asked first.

"Brush the stove and stick to the stove. I've already brushed the stove, let's go directly to the stove to welcome the stove. Lian Linlin said happily.

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside, it was Xu San and they were back.

Also coming back with Wu Keming, Xu Wen knew that during this time, Wu Keming had also been living here.

Even Lin Lin didn't know that he had been hugged by him when he was a child, but he only knew that he was an old friend of Daddy, who hadn't seen him for many years, and had only recently reunited.

As soon as there were many people, the courtyard immediately became lively, Dongfang Lei and he hadn't seen him for a long time, so at this time, he came over respectfully and kowtowed to call Master.

Xu Wenyi didn't watch out for him kneeling on the ground, hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "This is not the official New Year, just give me New Year's greetings, do I have to give you New Year's money now?"

Dongfang Lei blinked his eyes after hearing this, and laughed mischievously: "Master has a gift, but the apprentice doesn't dare to quit." ”

Xu Wen was stunned.

When Dongfang Lei worshipped him as a teacher, he was completely illiterate. Later, I came to the old wood field and studied with the brothers and sisters of the old wood field for a while, but the time was very short, and I was only learning a thousand words for the first time.

I haven't seen him for a while, but he can say such a gentle thing?

Xu Wen praised seriously, and Dongfang Lei touched his head a little embarrassedly: "In addition to work, Senior Brother Luo has been teaching me." It's important to say this. ”

Xu Wen raised his head and looked at Luo Shao.

"It's also a coincidence that I'm in the same place as Xiao Dongfang, otherwise, I'm afraid it's not so convenient. Luo Shao walked over and touched Dongfang Lei's head with a smile, "Xiao Dongfang works very hard, sometimes after finishing his work, he is so tired that his eyelids are going to be stained, and he came to ask me what we are learning today." It's just that I'm young, and I'm called by his uncle every day, and I feel like I'm more than a little older!"

"It's okay to call me Brother Shao, don't listen!" Luo Shao rubbed his head vigorously, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two of them had improved a lot during this period of time.

"How are you over there, is anyone bullying you?" Xu Wen asked suddenly.

"Then you have to see what bullying is. Luo Shao told the truth, "There is no beating and scolding, no deduction, but serving tea and pouring water for the foreman, pressing the waist and beating the back, these are our jobs." We were like this, and the camp next door was very envious, and I often saw their foreman slap them in the face and go down, and his face was swollen. I still have to continue to work like this, and I can't do it without any effort. ”

"There's more work in the camp next door than we do, and if I go next door, I can't learn anything with my eyelids. Dongfang Lei also spoke, and he was most concerned about this matter.

Xu Wen slowly said "um", looked up and asked, "Do they have a holiday for the New Year, where are they going?"

"Who are you talking about, from the camp next door?" Luo Shao scratched his head, "I really didn't inquire about this, our foreman is a local, and he was in a hurry to go home, so he let us go back directly, and let us go back on time." I didn't pay attention to the camp next door. But I heard that their foreman didn't make a home here......"

"Can you still contact them? go and ask around, and then I'll go back and take a moment, I'd like to talk to them. Xu Wen thought for a while and said to Luo Shao.

"Okay, leave it to me. Luo Shao simply agreed.

"How long are you going to talk?

"It's coming, it's coming!" several brothers laughed together and greeted him.

Before inviting Zaojun, even Lin Lin served Laba porridge to the brothers who had just returned, one bowl per person.

After drinking the porridge, they took off the old portrait of the stove monarch together, repasted the new one, and offered melons, fruits, paper horses in front of the statue.

The paper horse is made by Luo Shaoxian, he is very good at paper tie, and when his fingers fly, a white horse covered with colorful brocade appeared. Immediately, there was also a villain wearing a colorful flag and an official hat, vaguely looking like the god of the stove.

Next, eat bean dregs, pick up the Jade Emperor, burn the field wealth, and drive the chaos of the year......

Lian Linlin took them to do it one process after another, to condense the New Year, which lasted for ten years in the past, to be completed in just one day.

The brothers were still a little joking at first, but gradually, they became more and more serious, and they did whatever Lin Lin said.

Coming all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, in the Western Desert, they seemed to have returned to the old wood field, and their whole minds were calm. The only regret is that there are only five brothers present now, which is far less lively than before.

However, their mood is very peaceful, although those people are in the south of the Yangtze River and they are in the Western Desert, as long as they go back, they can meet, and the temporary separation is nothing.

Xu Wen is the third year in the Banmen world, and the third time he has spent such a year.

For some reason, this time, he felt something different from previous years.

He raised his head and looked at the senior brothers who were talking to Lian Linlin with a smile on their faces, and looked into the courtyard through them, the master and Wu Keming who were talking and writing Spring Festival couplets on the other side, and then looked at the banana tree outside the courtyard and the blue sky at the top of the tree.

He took a deep breath, a sense of solidity that gripped his heart and made him feel something deeply.

From modern times to the world of Banmen, from Jiangnan to the Western Desert, I still went home.
