Chapter 162: Cleaning
The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the small year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today is the day to send the stove prince to heaven, Du Yue took Qiao'er to prepare things and began to sacrifice the stove.
The stove king shrine in Du Yue's house is on the east side of the kitchen, and Du Yue took out the starch candy he had bought earlier, placed it in front of the stove king shrine, and began to worship.
Legend has it that taking caramel to worship the king of the stove is to stick to the teeth of the king of the stove, so that the king of the stove can't say bad things about the lord's family, in fact, Du Yue doesn't believe in these, but the so-called follow the customs, Du Yue still follows the same as everyone.
After worshipping the king of the stove, it is the day to start cleaning, and every household is going to prepare for cleaning to sweep away the old mildew.
Du Yue took the Qiao'er brothers and sisters to clean up the house. The furniture at home is still very clean because Qiao'er dusts it every day, and it hasn't been long since it moved in, so they don't need to move out to wash it.
However, although the house is very clean, the cleaning still has to be done, after all, this is also a custom, and the mildew must be swept away.
The weather has been sunny these days, and Du Yue took Qiao'er to remove all the quilts at home and prepare to wash them.
Qiao'er had already boiled a large pot of boiling water, and at this time, the big basin was mixed with cold water and boiling water, and Du Yue soaked the quilt in it. The weather is too cold and the water is too cold, so when I wash things, I boil the water and wash it.
The quilt cover is quite big, Du Yue put a bed in it first, and then scrubbed it with Qiao'er. In fact, Du Yue loves to be clean, and the quilt cover and the like are cleaned once a month, so this time it is okay to scrub it at will.
The quilt cover was too big for one person to twist at all, Du Yue and Qiao'er took one end of the quilt and began to twist it, and the water in the quilt cover was squeezed down.
After cleaning the bed, Du Yue took it to the bamboo pole set up in the yard and hung it up. Qiao'er took the other quilt covers, soaked them in water, and continued to scrub them.
Lin Zhengde first moved out the things in the room, and if he couldn't move them, he covered them with a large piece of oiled paper, took a long bamboo, tied a small broom to it, put on a straw hat, and began to sweep the walls in the room.
In fact, Du Yue has only moved in for half a year, and there are not many cobwebs on the wall, dust or anything, so I swept it again, and the ground is not too dirty, but no matter what, it still has to be cleaned.
After Lin Zhengde finished cleaning all the rooms, he moved all the furniture in the hall to another room and prepared to start cleaning the hall.
After being busy all day, Du Yue took the Qiao'er brothers and sisters to clean up the house inside and out, washing what should be washed and what should be swept. Although it didn't seem like there was much going on, Du Yue was still so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist.
For dinner, she even told Qiao'er to cook something as she wanted, but she really didn't have the strength to do anything else.
Liu Lin also took the family to prepare for cleaning, but when the quilt was removed and ready to be washed, Liu Li came over.
"Normally, I didn't ask you to help in the past, but now at the end of the year, the house has to be cleaned, and you have to help me clean all the things in the house." When Liu Li arrived at Liu Tianming's house, he said to Liu Lin, who was washing the pulp.
Liu Lin was very depressed, his own family had just started, but his mother-in-law came over and asked him to help clean things. There are so many people over there, they don't know what to call, they know that they are coming to find themselves. It's just that I didn't ask myself to do this in previous years, but this year I don't know what crazy it is, Liu Lin thought, it is estimated that it is the idea of the sister-in-law at home again.
"Mother, when I finish cleaning all these things in the house, I'll go over to help you." For these, Liu Lin's can't say no, but it's impossible to go over to help now, and it's not like there's no one over there.
"You only have such a thing here, it's okay to have Ping'er, I just need you to help, and I don't need them to go to the others." Liu Li said that he wanted Liu Lin to help.
In fact, in previous years, Liu Li's did not ask Liu Lin's, but this year, the old family was lazy, saying that they were not feeling well, and they refused to do anything, and there were a lot of things to be cleaned at home, and only the third family was left to do it, but looking at the third family, it was not diligent, only knew that the things in their room were washed, and everyone's things were put there and no one did it.
Liu Li had no choice but to come to Liu Lin's.
"Mother, Ping'er is still just a child, how many things can she do." Liu Lin is a little dissatisfied, obviously there are also female babies over there, and the big ones don't do it, why don't they know that they let the small ones do it, and the daughter of his own family will do everything.
"It's still young, I'll have to get married in a few years, and I have to do it all yet, so I won't be disliked by my in-laws when I marry in the future." Liu Li doesn't have much ancestral affection for Yuan Ping, so when it comes to this, he doesn't think there is any problem at all.
Liu Lin's face turned pale because of Liu Li's words, but he still endured it and didn't get angry, just kept silent, and stopped talking.
Liu Li looked at Liu Lin's silent appearance, and she didn't want to say more to Liu Lin, so she went directly to her son.
"Second brother, let your daughter-in-law come over to my side to help." Facing his own son, Liu Li's words were not so polite, and he directly instructed Liu Tianming.
"Mother, there are still the eldest brother's family and the third brother's family over there, you can't just let them do it, there are so many people in the family, why do you need us." Liu Tianming was not very polite, after all, his wife was always so partial, and he was already annoyed.
"If they do anything, do I need to look for you?" Liu Li shouted. The more times like this, the more she regrets how she found such an eldest daughter-in-law in the first place, when it comes to doing things, she is uncomfortable and uncomfortable, no matter how useless she says.
"That's not what you're used to." Liu Tianming didn't dare to say this, he just slandered in his heart.
"When I'm done here, we'll go and help." Liu Tianming didn't want to talk more to his mother, so he and his son worked together to move the big furniture outside the house, and let Liu Lin's clean it for a while.
"Okay, then you can go as soon as you're done here, don't bother." Liu Li saw that he couldn't call him immediately, so he had to take a step back and let them help when they were done.
After Liu Li finished speaking, he went back to his house, and the yard was already full of several pots of quilt covers, which belonged to Liu Li and the old family. Now that Liu Li took a look, he felt irritable, and he didn't care, he went back to the room directly, and waited for the second family to come to help.
Some have been dried in the yard, which are all cleaned by Xiao Liu Li's family, but this is only their room.
