Xiaowei and Xiaohong Liu Hongliang also finished eating, and sat there and poured a bowl of hot water to accompany Lao Guan.

Xiaowei's mother said, "What are you going to do today? Clean up the whole courtyard? ”

Aunt Wang stretched out her hand and patted Xiaowei's mother and said, "That's the school over there, and this is the factory, what are you doing cleaning it up?" Oh yes, and the yard, don't you get rid of the snow?"

Xiaowei's mother looked out the window and said, "This courtyard is big and comfortable, but this snow is too sad." ”

Xiaowei said: "When the weather is warm, I will add a row of sheds in the garage and here, and I will not care about it in the middle, I can just walk and drive." ”

Aunt Wang nodded and said, "I have to add a shed, or it will rain heavily in the summer, and I won't be able to go to the house, there will be no cover." ”

Xiaowei's mother stood up and reached out to take the soup bowl in front of Lao Guan and said, "Don't drink this, I'll change the bowl of hot food for you, I'll just say that this old man has to eat cold food every day, right? Don't eat in the future, just eat here, at least eat hot." Do you hear me?" filled a bowl of hot soup and put it in front of the old man.

Lao Guan nodded, took a sip of hot soup and said, "Your family are all good people." I'm just afraid of being annoyed by people, and people will be bored when they get old. ”

Aunt Wang said: "Xiaowei will go to buy a whip in a while, what is pasted on the door, window flowers, I will buy them back today, Xiaohong will remove the ashes with us, and remove the ones that should be dismantled and washed." ”

Xiaowei said: "It's only been a few days, so you can dismantle it?"

Aunt Wang said: "Children don't understand, don't talk nonsense, this is the rule of the young year, do you understand? In the afternoon, I went to take a shower and cut my hair, and in the evening, I sent the stove king. ”

Xiaowei's mother said: "No, I still have to take a bath, it would be nice to be able to take a bath in this courtyard." ”

Xiaowei said: "When the weather is warm, change the boiler room into a small bathhouse, and if you get it, you can wash it in winter, and burn the boiler in summer?"

Aunt Wang said: "It's good to be able to wash it in winter, and it's not cold to go out for a walk in summer." ”

Liu Hongliang said: "I'll drive you to my factory to wash it, the hall is not open in the morning, just a few of you to wash, save yourself and everyone." ”

Xiaowei asked, "Can it work?"

Liu Hongliang said: "Okay, I take a bath at home when the hall is not open." ”

Xiao Wei stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Hongliang on the head and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier? I squeezed the lobby back and forth, you don't know." ”

Liu Hongliang touched the place where Xiaowei was photographed, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of when you are a big man, I care about my two aunts and Xiaohong." ”

At that time, the bath was in the lobby, a big house, and there was a huge cement pool on the ground in the middle, and everyone soaked in it to wash, and when there were many people, they could squeeze down and stand in the water, and they had to be careful when they took water. There are better conditions and showers around the wall, but most of them don't. Undressing is not as lockable as the box now, it is a shelf, most people just put it indiscriminately, and the loss of shoes and clothes often happens.

It was not until 93 years later that private small saunas began to appear, but they were very small, and the hygiene and bathing conditions were improved some, and after 95 years, the large bathing center entered the lives of ordinary people. In this regard, prefecture-level cities lag behind Mukden by at least five to eight years, which is determined by spending power.

In the early 90's, the area of residence determined the speed of access to information. At that time, people habitually lived a practical secluded life in front of and behind the house, and there was a certain disconnect from society, which was actually determined by the degree of information accessibility.

After Mr. Guan had finished eating, everyone cleaned up, and the people who worked in the schools and food factories outside were about to come.

The two mothers led Xiaohong to start cleaning and tidying up the interior of the house, Xiaowei and Dad, Liu Hongliang and Hao Xiaodong regulated the snow in the courtyard. The garage and the gates on both sides, as well as the front of the house, must be cleared, and the snow will pile up in the middle of the yard, and directly bury the pentagonal flower bed, and the little soldier will wear a hat and follow the trouble, and the snowman plan has long been forgotten.

Fortunately, this is not a rural area, so you don't have to worry about the snow on the house, or you won't be able to finish it in a day today.

After eating at noon, Liu Hongliang drove Xiaowei's parents, younger brothers, Aunt Wang and Xiaohong to take a bath, and Xiaowei drove to buy by himself.

Firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, couplets, window flowers, pork ribs, buy clothes for the little brother and Xiaohong, everyone's underwear, shirts and socks, buy some melons, fruits, pears, peaches, candy cubes, peanuts and melon seeds, and stuff the trunk back to the yard.

Fortunately, there are no people in the natal year, otherwise they would have to buy red underwear shirts and red socks and red trouser belts. The mall has been crowded with people these days, and Xiaowei really doesn't want to squeeze in.

Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, Chinese people will take out the money they are usually reluctant to spend to buy a big one, and have a relatively rich year, hoping to have a good omen in the new year, and they can transfer fortune in the coming year.

Liaodong here to send the god of the stove is four o'clock in the afternoon, the family to prepare a sumptuous family banquet, to the king of the stove to offer three fruits, mouth smeared with honey, and then light firecrackers, the king of the stove statue burned, this is to send the king of the stove to heaven. The so-called heaven says good things, and returns to the house to bring auspiciousness, hoping that this great god can bring new weather and luck to his family.

Then until midnight on the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the king of the stove had to be welcomed back on time. In the few days from the young year to the thirtieth century, it is said that there are no immortals in the family, and the immortals have gone to heaven to hold a meeting, so there are no taboos in these days, and there is no need to pay attention to the taboo when getting married.

As the saying goes, "Suiyan is busy marrying in the countryside, and Yichun posts amuse spring." The sisters in front of the lamp whispered to each other, "This year is a cave house", and now there is a custom of chaotic marriage in many places in the countryside. However, these old rites and customs have become extinct in the city, and they have all been to Christmas to play Christmas Eve, and a group of Chinese people do not even understand the meaning of Christmas Eve, so they are celebrating for foreigners.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the twelfth day of February in the ninth year of the solar calendar, the eighth day of the beginning of spring, and the rainy solar term is also eight days.

At this time, the spring breeze is already blowing in the south, the grass is green, the trees are green, the branches are sprouting, and the mountain flowers are bearing stamen, but in many places in the northeast, there is a light snow on this day. The period around the Spring Festival is always the coldest days in the Northeast, without exception.

Today, all the stores except the billiard hall, as well as the training center, and the food factory have started to close. Xiaowei gave all workers Spring Festival benefits, one barrel of oil, one bag of rice, one bag of noodles, ten catties of pork and ten catties of apples. In fact, public units have year-end benefits this year, but Xiaowei feels that each is its own, and the factory is from the factory, and they are all working at home, and they can't be too picky.

In addition, Xiaowei from each unit also gave a cart of apples, and spent less than 10,000 yuan in total, expressing his heartfelt attitude.

The most surprising thing was the four little girls in the training center, who were carrying benefits home from the unit for the first time, singing and dancing happily.
