It's been a small year since Xiaoxiao and Qianyu came back from training in the city. The small year is also called the Stove Festival or the Stove King Festival, and there are also places called sending gods. Folklore has it that every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the king of the stove has to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor in the sky, so that the Jade Emperor will reward and punish. Therefore, when the stove is delivered, people put candy, water, bean feed, straw, couplet, and grass on the table in front of the statue of the stove king. The last three of these are for the mount of the Stove King's ascension. When sacrificing to the stove, the sugar should be melted and applied to the mouth of the king of the stove with fire, so that the king of the stove could not speak ill of the Jade Emperor.

Lin Mier and Xiaoxiao discussed it, there is no serious stove at home, and it is not her own house, it is still in school, and it is a teacher, it is not good to carry out such feudal superstitious activities, and if you are seen to be criticized, you will not carry out the sacrificial stove activities. In fact, Lin Mier herself is careful, such a big festival as the New Year, not to mention that in the countryside is a big city, there are generally elderly people in the family will also carry out sacrifices, but the tradition is not to care about superstition or not, just like the different customs of each place on Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, Xiaoxiao thinks that what her mother said is also right, this is just a temporary house to borrow, there is no serious stove, such a sacrificial stove is better than not sacrificing, and it is disrespectful to the king of the stove, it is really too child's play. The three of them discussed, since there is no sacrifice stove, then there is something to do, and such a good season and good weather cannot be wasted, so they thought of another thing to be done on this day in addition to the sacrifice stove: sweeping the dust.

Say move, Lin Mier tricked to find three of their own old clothes, although not very shabby but also whitewashed very old, there are small patches, but Lin Mier's hands are very clever This patch turns into a flower or a fish in her hand, etc., I can't see at all that this is a patch that is repaired because of the hole, and I thought it was a deliberately embroidered pattern, for this light feather and light smile in the original place also had a little limelight.

Qianyu looked at the clothes in his hand and asked curiously, "Mom, isn't this my clothes?" Isn't it too small to wear? How come we still have old clothes in our house? Didn't they all sort it out and give it to Li Li's family last time? ”

"Can't you leave your mother and I here? I think you were captured by sugar-coated shells, and this is the standard local tyrant and landlord during the special period. It belongs to the characters who want to oppose the hit. Lin Mier also had a lot of feelings about the old clothes in front of her. Thinking that his mother was still a penniless poor bastard, who would have thought that now he is also a family with assets. Look at the wardrobe full of new clothes, and then look at the old clothes in your hands, everything is changing. Thinking of the words of the eldest brother last time. Lin Mier was glad that she walked out of a swamp and saw a different world outside. Of course, this is inseparable from her well-behaved and sensible daughters, who gave them new strength and courage, thinking of this, Lin Mi'er looked at the two children, her eyes were full of love.

"Why stay? Mother. Is it as strict as you say? The local tyrants and landlords have all come out. I just saw that there were still old clothes, and I didn't expect to cause dissatisfaction. Besides, I didn't dislike it, this is also a memory, a testimony, in fact, I'm quite reluctant, if it weren't for the small I still like such clothes, comfortable, loving. ”

Asa Yu's inquiry interrupted Lin Mi'er's thoughts, she combed the broken hair scattered on the side of her cheeks with her hand, and replied very gently, "Of course it's useful." Do you think it's going to be used for a day like today? Mom just said it, to use an analogy. You're still getting serious. ”

"Oh my God, Mom, you're so smart." Asa Yu looked up at his mother with adoring eyes, "You have thought of such a long-term thing, you are worthy of being a mother, I am just a daughter." But I wasn't serious just now, it's called getting to the bottom of it. ”

"You're a sycophant!" Lin Mi'er didn't refute it when she heard Qianyu's childish words, she just smiled and didn't talk about the topic again.

Light smile didn't care about the conversation between Asaa and Lin Mier, and she wasn't interested. She thought of the warm pictures she often saw on TV in her previous life, and this time she could give it a try when she cleaned her home well, and also fulfilled her dreams.

Light smile quickly found three old newspapers in the room. To say that there is nothing else at home. There will be no shortage of newspapers, test papers, and blank papers. The test papers of this era were not as neat as they were seen later, and most of them were printed in lead. At this time, the test paper was engraved by the teacher himself on wax paper, one by one, and then sent to the photocopy room for photocopying (this kind of photocopying is still available in large schools. Small schools also have to go through guò big schools to photocopy), generally this kind of test paper is easy to blacken the hand, so there are white paper newspapers at home, etc., white paper is to prevent photocopying of the test paper to be copied again, the newspaper is covered on the test paper, to prevent the teacher from accidentally soiling the clothes when taking it. It's not strange at all that something like this is smiling at home.

She folded the old newspaper from east to west, and a newspaper quickly turned into a hat in her hand. Three newspapers and three hats, one each for Qianyu and Lin Mi'er, and one on his head, said to them: "Is this suitable for you to wear?" See if I look like a little hygienist? After speaking, he sang with a smile: "I am a hygienist, I have strong cleaning skills, I want to clean that small house more beautifully, wash the windows and sweep the floor and the broom is like flying, ouch my little nose has changed." ”

"What kind of nursery rhyme do you have, it makes me laugh until my stomach hurts." Lin Mi'er said with a smile, while rubbing her stomach with her hands from time to time, "There is a crazy girl, and she sings messily." ”

"Mom, that's the song of "Little Whitewasher", but the lyrics in it have been changed by my sister, not a word is the same, the key is still right, it is the tune of the original whitewasher." Qianyu looked at the light smile brightly, with a hint of unexpected reverence, "Sister, you are so smart." I didn't expect that the lyrics could be changed like this, that is, it would not hinder the original meaning and come up with new tricks, which is really nice and interesting. ”

"I'm not thinking about the New Year, it's going to be fun. Besides, if it weren't for everyone's image and image, they wouldn't be able to think of this song, and there would be no fun in changing the lyrics. Speaking of which, it was you who inspired my talent, which made me have a flash of inspiration, and this song came out of my mind, and I sang it when I opened my mouth, but I didn't expect the effect to be very good. The light smile was very sè, and the mouth did not stop, repeating his original songs over and over again, causing the shallow feather to hum along with him, and when the lyrics were memorized, he sang them out loud.

The division of labor between the three is very clear, light smile wipes all the furniture such as tables and chairs, shallow feather cleans the glass windows, Lin Mier cleans the cobwebs on the roof and sweeps and mops the floor, and finally calls it a day.

Xiaoxiao has no work to do yet, she has to wait for Lin Mi'er to clean up the cobwebs before she can wipe them, otherwise she will do it in vain. "Sister, it's troublesome that the glass is not clean in your way. Let me teach you a simple and practical trick. Light smile watched as Asa Yu stepped on the table and trembled with his head and one hand to wipe the window on the other side, and the other hand was tightly grasping the window frame.

"I was a little scared, and I wanted to wipe the glass clean but I didn't want to put myself in danger. Do you have any good way to say quickly. "Asa has too much hope for a good way to laugh.

"It's simple, you just need to follow my method and wipe both sides of the window clean without leaning out of the window." Said with a light smile and confidence: "But if you want one thing, without it, I will become a good woman without difficulty." ”

"What do you want?"

"Two larger magnets."

"You're lucky, I just got these two pieces a while ago, you wait, I'll go find it for you." Asa Yu jumped off the table and rummaged in his schoolbag for a while, "Found it, do you think it's okay?" Asa Yu held the two magnets in front of Light Smile with both hands.

"It's a little small, but it's okay." Xiaoxiao picked up the two magnets and looked at them, and said to Qianyu, "I also need to prepare two newspapers or two rags." ”

Asa quickly found two newspapers. Xiaoxiao took the things without hesitation, and was very happy to fold things, how to place them, how to install them on the window, and how to use them.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple to use the mutual attraction of magnets to make the outside newspaper not fall, and under the control of the inside magnet, you can wipe the glass on both sides of the inside and outside at the same time, which is safe and practical.

"Really too simple, clean and safe. Great, smile and laugh at you, you are so talented, such a solution will let you come up with it. "Asa Yu praised people because he was happy, it was a basket of good words.

With the help of light smile, shallow feather worked harder to clean the window, and shallow smile also joined shallow feather's array to help clean the glass together when she was bored. The speed of the two of them working together was much faster, and in the end, Lin Mier had to sit aside to rest under the persuasion of the sisters, and hand over all the work in hand.

There was laughter and laughter in the room from time to time, and the boring and tedious housework became interesting and relaxed in the family's laughter. When the two sisters pounded their waists and looked at the bright windows, the bright furniture, the oily furniture, and the fragrant room in the air, they smiled contentedly.

Look at each other and look for that intimate face. At the same time, he pointed his finger at each other and said in unison: "Mom, you see that my sister (sister) has become a big cat." "It turned out that the dust in the room fell on the face during the cleaning, and the whole process was sweaty from time to time, and the two of them would unconsciously wipe it with their hands, and they became a veritable big cat back and forth a few times." Hahaha......" The cheerful laughter penetrated the walls and traveled far, far away. (To be continued.) )
