Chapter 024 [Little Year (I)]

"Don't pour dumplings yet, Dad asked you whose doll belongs to?" Qin Xuedong looked at Qin Fan with the eyes of a prisoner, and said suspiciously, "Tell me honestly, did your kid harm which girl?" The dolls are coming to the door. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Dad, what's going on here." Qin Fan sweated for a moment, and was speechless at his father's imagination, "How old am I, how can I have such a big doll." ”

"Hmph, when Dad was your age, the young girls in the school were vying to write me love poems."

Qin Xuedong looked proud, but soon he couldn't laugh.

"Oh? How many young women have written you love poems, I never know. Jiang Yulin said with a cold face and an unkind tone.

When Qin Xuedong ascended, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and his face suddenly fell.

"Well, I'm not educating my children, how did it get to me. One, I swear it's just you. ”

"Don't mind, I don't know how to write any sour love poems."

"I wrote it! It's all I wrote to you when we were in love, and I kept one song a day. Qin Xuedong hurriedly remedied.

"Nacheng, find out those love poems at night, I want to listen to you."

"It's embarrassing to be in front of a child, is it?"

Jiang Yulin's beautiful eyes glared, "If there is anything to be embarrassed about, then close the door and read it!" ”

"Good, good, good. I can't read it, let's also look back on our youth and learn from those young people to be romantic. Now you're satisfied. Qin Xuedong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and tried his best to coax Jiang Yulin.

Qin Fan's face was black, and he was fed a mouthful of dog food by his parents defenselessly.

"Hello uncle, aunt."

Yaya stretched her short legs and walked up to Qin Xuedong and Jiang Yulin, and called out obediently.

"Good doll, whose child is Xiao Fan?" Jiang Yulin was also happy to see this beautiful and well-behaved child, so she affectionately picked up the maid and kissed her heavily on the little cheek.

"This child is the doll I told you earlier, adopted by the old scavenger."

Qin Fan took out a bowl of steaming dumplings from the pot and told his parents what happened today by the way.

After listening to Qin Fan's story, Jiang Yulin felt even more distressed about Yaya, and hugged her to feed the dumplings one by one.

"The child's grandfather is okay now, right?"

"The doctor has examined it, and there is nothing wrong with the body, but he is a little malnourished and is recuperating in the hospital."

"That's good."

Regarding what happened to the old man, Qin Xuedong also wanted to help very much. It's just that the old man doesn't remember his name and original address, and it's not easy to find out where he came from.

"Mom and Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you." Qin Fan took a sip of water and continued, "Yaya has no one to take care of now, I want her to live in our house for a while, what do you think." ”

"Okay, you can stay as long as you want, okay?" Jiang Yulin hugged Yaya and was reluctant to let go.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Yaya was born in a poor family, and there are no bad habits of pampering children who love picky eating, and she eats any dish with relish.

A bowl of hot dumplings is under the belly, and the girl's belly is bulging, which is very cute and cute.

Not long after Yaya came to the Qin family, she became the little princess of the Qin family, Qin Xuedong and Jiang Yulin circled around Yaya as if they were their own daughters, buying her new clothes and bathing, but there was nothing Qin Fan to do.

That night, Jiang Yulin didn't care about asking Qin Xuedong to recite poems, and was busy taking care of Yaya.

Early in the morning of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Qin Fan, who was still curled up in the quilt and lying on the bed, was woken up by a loud noise.

Poked his head out of the bed and glanced at the alarm clock, okay, it's only 6 o'clock in the morning, and the sky hasn't fully lit up yet.

"Mom, what are you doing early in the morning?"

"Have you forgotten about today's Xiao Nian? Don't hurry up and clean up your piggy. Jiang Yulin's voice sounded from outside the room.

"No, it's only what time it is, let me sleep again."

Qin Fan continued to lie in the quilt and pretend to be dead, and the girl walked in wearing a white apron with a feather duster in her little hand and dusted him twice.

"Brother, auntie told you to get up, otherwise you will become a lazy pig."

Well, I was despised by a little bit.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, Qin Fan simply got up and cleaned up the room, and walked out of the room with a yawn.

"Mom, where's my breakfast?"

"I've eaten it with Yaya, and there's still half a steamed bun on the table, you eat it first."

Qin Fan looked depressed, and took half a steamed bun in his mouth to help clean up the house.

The day of the small year is the day when every household sacrifices to the king of the stove, and it is said that every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the king of the stove will go to heaven to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor will punish and reward. Therefore, on this day, every family should get up early to clean the house, which means removing the old and welcoming the new. Then set up an incense table, and insert a few pillars of incense on it. Put the newly steamed steamed buns on the table, three in a stack, a total of three stacks, and also put fruits, cakes, and Kanto sugar, and send the stove prince to ascend to heaven.

There are many folk legends about the origin of the Lord of the Stove, among which the most widely circulated version is that the Lord of the Stove was originally a person named Zhang Sheng, the family is quite wealthy, there is a wife in the family Lilac, the appearance is dignified and beautiful, and the character is virtuous.

One day, Zhang Sheng met a beautiful woman named Begonia when he was doing business outside, and Begonia took the initiative to be courteous when he saw that Zhang Sheng was rich. Soon, Zhang Sheng took the begonias home. However, because of jealousy, Haitang forced Zhang Sheng to divorce his wife and drove Lilac out of the house.

Later, Zhang Sheng and Li Haitang spent extravagantly and finally ruined their family business. Seeing that Zhang Sheng was poor, Haitang immediately abandoned him and married someone else. Zhang Sheng became a beggar alone, begging along the street. One day, Zhang Sheng fainted in front of a rich family, and when the maid saw a beggar lying on the ground, she told the hostess and helped him into the kitchen. After Zhang Sheng sobered up, he found out that the hostess of the house turned out to be Lilac who was abandoned by him.

Zhang Sheng was so ashamed that he actually got into the stove, and when he was found, he had already been burned to death. When Lilac saw Zhang Shengsheng die, she was sad in her heart, and soon died of depression.

After the Jade Emperor knew about this, he thought that Zhang Sheng could change his mind and not break to the end, and since he died at the bottom of the pot, he named him the king of the stove. Later, people offered cloves to Grandma Stove King and enshrined them in the kitchen with Zhang Sheng.

Qin Fan remembered that when he was a child, what he was looking forward to most was to celebrate the New Year, because he could eat stove candy.

Stove sugar is a type of maltose, also called Kanto sugar. The milky white Kanto sugar is placed on a square plate, which is generally three inches long and one inch wide, and is filamentous. When you bite into the newly made stove candy, it is fragrant and crispy, full of stickiness, and very delicious.

When Qin Fan was still very young, every time he was a child, there were many hawkers selling Kanto sugar on the street, and now there are not many sugar craftsmen who make sugar, and with the development of the times, many traditional crafts have gradually been lost and disappeared in the long river of history.

Early in the morning, Qin Fan ran through most of Jiaocheng, and finally found a vendor who sold Kanto sugar, and bought two catties of Kanto sugar in one go.

Authentic Kanto candy is so hard that it can't be broken at all, and it must be split with a kitchen knife when eating, and the material is very fine and heavy, and the taste is slightly sour.

"Mom, the candy is back. Yaya, come out and eat candy! ”

As soon as Qin Fan took off his shoes and entered the door, he saw a familiar figure as soon as he looked up.

"Teacher Dong, why are you here?"

In front of him, Dong Wanrou, who was like a white lotus, looked at herself with a smile, and teased with a smile, "What, I'm not welcome?" ”

"How can you! But Mr. Dong, you're not here to check my homework, are you? Qin Fan sweated for a while, a few days ago, he was really a little miserable by Dong Wanrou with the tactics of the sea of questions, and Qin Fan wanted to vomit when he saw the test paper.

"You're right, I'm here to check my homework. Have you finished the last few sets of past papers that were given to you? ”

"Don't mind, it's hard to have a small year, you have to let me finish this year."

Dong Wanrou seemed to like seeing Qin Fan eat deflated, and she couldn't help but play pranks with him, "Don't worry, I'm passing by and coming up to see Uncle Qin and Aunt Jiang, and I won't check your homework." ”

"That's good."

Qin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, this little girl dared to play a prank with herself to scare him, if it weren't for the fact that she was the tutor appointed by her parents, she must know why the flowers were so popular.

"Xiaofan, why don't you pour tea for people quickly, what are you doing in a daze." Qin Xuedong glanced at Qin Fan, if he wasn't afraid of Dong Wanrou's jokes, he would have kicked him in the ass a long time ago.

Qin Fan looked aggrieved, made a cup of hot tea for Dong Wanrou, and said reluctantly, "Teacher Dong, drink tea." ”

"Yes, the children can be taught." Dong Wanrou made a smug look, revealing two white tiger teeth.

"Xiao Dong, stay at our house at noon to eat, let you taste Auntie's craftsmanship." Jiang Yulin poked her head out and invited Dong Wanrou to stay for dinner.

"Okay, trouble Auntie."

"Hey, you're welcome." Qin Fan was all happy.

Jiang Yulin glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Have you talked to the teacher like this, come and help me make dumplings." ”

Seeing that the family was all towards Dong Wanrou, Qin Fan really wanted to die.

In the kitchen, Jiang Yulin was wrapping pork dumplings while looking at Dong Wanrou who was chatting with Qin Xuedong in the living room.

"Xiao Fan, what do you think of Teacher Xiao Dong?"

"Teacher Xiao Dong is very good." Qin Fan replied absentmindedly.

"Mom also thinks that Mr. Xiao Dong not only has a good personality and a good net worth, but also is so beautiful. If only I had a good daughter-in-law like Mr. Xiao Dong, it would be great. ”

Qin Fan was taken aback by this, "Mom, what are you talking about, Teacher Dong is a few years older than me." ”

"What do you know, as the saying goes, a female junior hugs a gold brick." Jiang Yulin glanced at her son, "Besides, people may not look down on you as a half-grown son." ”

"Hey, did you say that about your son, my own mother?"

"I heard that Mr. Xiao Dong has been on a blind date several times, and several of them are civil servants, but none of them are eye-catching."

"Is it a blessing for her to look at your son or mine?" Qin Fan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Isn't that?"

Because there were guests at home, a big pot of dumplings was cooked at home at noon, and Jiang Yulin was afraid that Dong Wanrou would not be able to eat enough, so she vigorously put vegetables in her bowl.

"What were you two muttering in the kitchen?" During the meal, Qin Xuedong asked curiously.

Qin Fan took a bite of dumplings and said jokingly, "Mom wants to introduce someone to Teacher Xiao Dong." ”

Hearing this, Dong Wanrou's heart chuckled, and her beautiful and white face turned red.
