On the 28th, everyone was busy cleaning. Of course, there are also people who only get it on the 29th. But traditionally, twenty-eight is more authentic. Moreover, twenty-nine is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are still many things to be busy on that day, if you push the cleaning to that day, then you will really be overwhelmed.

After the cleaning, it is also a tradition to have a sacrificial stove in the countryside.

In the Yaoshun era, there was a custom of sweeping dust during the Spring Festival. According to the folk saying: because of the homonym between "dust" and "Chen", the Spring Festival dust sweep has the meaning of "removing Chen Buxin", and its intention is to sweep all the poor luck and bad luck out of the door. This custom carries people's desire to break with the old and create the new, and the prayer to leave the old and welcome the new.

Every Spring Festival is coming, every household has to clean the environment, clean all kinds of utensils, dismantle and wash bedding curtains, sprinkle and sweep the courtyard of Liulu, dust and cobwebs, and dredge nullah culverts. Everywhere is filled with a joyful atmosphere of hygienic and clean to welcome the New Year.

There's a story to tell. Legend has it that the ancients believed that there was a three-corpse god attached to the body of a person, and he was like a shadow, following the whereabouts of the person, inseparable. The Three Corpse God is a guy who likes to flatter and tell right and wrong, and he often spreads rumors in front of the Jade Emperor and describes the world as ugly. Over time, in the impression of the Jade Emperor, the world was simply a dirty world full of sin.

Once. The three corpse gods reported that the world was cursing the Emperor of Heaven and wanted to rebel against the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor was furious, and issued a decree to quickly find out the chaos in the world, and all those who complained against the gods and blasphemed the gods were to write their crimes under the eaves. Then let the spider spread its web to cover it as a mark. The Jade Emperor also ordered Wang Lingguan to go to the Nether on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and kill all the people who were marked, and leave no one behind. Seeing that this plan was about to succeed, the three corpse gods flew down to the mortal realm by taking advantage of the gap, regardless of whether they were green or bad, and viciously marked the eaves and corners of each house, so that the Wang Ling Palace could be slaughtered.

Just as the Three Corpse Gods were doing evil, Stove Jun discovered his whereabouts. was shocked, and hurriedly found the princes of various stoves to discuss countermeasures. Therefore, I came up with a good way to send the stove on the 23rd day of the lunar month, before the stove was picked up on Chinese New Year's Eve. Every household must clean their house. If any household is not clean, the king of the stove will refuse to enter the house.

Everyone followed the instructions of the Lord of the Stove before his ascension to heaven, swept away the dust, and dusted off the cobwebs. Wipe the doors and windows and clean the house to a new look. When Wang Lingguan was ordered to check the Nether on Chinese New Year's Eve, he found that the windows of every house were bright and clean, the lights were brilliant, and people were happy to reunite. The world is beautiful. Wang Lingguan could not find a sign of bad deeds, and he was very strange, so he rushed back to heaven and told the Jade Emperor about the peace and happiness on earth and the wish for a good New Year.

The Jade Emperor was greatly shocked when he heard this, and issued an edict to detain the three corpse gods, and ordered three hundred palms and mouths to be imprisoned forever. This human catastrophe was spared thanks to the rescue of the Stove God. In order to thank the king of the stove for removing difficulties and disasters for people and blessing Zhang Xiang, the folk dust sweeping always starts after sending the stove. Busy until Chinese New Year's Eve.

The bedding and the like in Chu Jiaqiang's house had been cleaned earlier. Now, the main thing is to clean the house, the tables and stools at home, and so on.

Because the old house is relatively large, Chu Jiawan was sent here to help. The two women washed the tables and stools. Chu Jiaqiang is sweeping the roof, sweeping the room, and so on.

"This Mr. Mighty is a fake, and he can't be cleaned." Chu Jiawan said. Squeezed the bottle of the so-called Mr. Wittmann onto the large table to clean the oil stains on it. But after wiping it for a while, it's still the same.

Chu Jiaqiang was also a little depressed. Nowadays, there are too many fakes, especially in small places like rural areas, where everyone does not understand this aspect and does not know how to protect the rights and interests of their consumers. Those counterfeiters, especially those who have just started their debut, like to produce large quantities and sell them cheaply to these remote places.

"Then use laundry detergent!" Ye Caiping had no choice but to take out the laundry detergent. Liby is a very good brand, an old brand, everyone likes it.

"Haha! Dude, your hair has turned gray. Chu Jiawan laughed.

I saw that Chu Jiaqiang had a layer of dust on his head, as if there was a spider web. Chu Jiaqiang patted his head with his hand, and suddenly there was a burst of dust.

"No way, there's a lot of dust on it." Chu Jiaqiang smiled helplessly. It seems that I have to eat pig red today. In rural areas, many villagers feel that pig blood can be cleaned and washed.

The couplets on both sides of the door, as well as the horizontal batches on the forehead of the door, were originally to be torn off and pasted with new ones. But if someone got married back then, or the house was moved in for a short time, it didn't need to be torn off, and it could be kept for another year.

The two girls just finished washing the tables and stools, and Chu Jiaqiang moved to the open space to dry them, the weather was not bad today, and it would definitely be dried later.

"Do you want to wash the windows too?" Chu Jiawan asked. These windows are all wooden windows, and in the past, they didn't need to be washed, and they could just be dusted.

Seeing that they had been busy for so long, they should be quite tired, so Chu Jiaqiang said: "No need, I can sweep it in a while, you can rest for a while, and there will be those dishes, chopsticks, pots, etc., and I have to trouble you." ”

The second uncle and the second aunt moved relatively quickly, and soon the new house was completed, which was not big over there, and the two adults did it together, so naturally there would be no problem. After the two of them were busy, they ran to Chu Jiaqiang's side again.

"Girl, what are you still sitting for? Don't want to work? The second aunt saw that everyone was moving, and Chu Jiawan was still on the swing and refused to get up, so she couldn't help but glare.

Chu Jiawan is afraid of her mother, although her father is serious, he rarely says that she is not. The old lady is different, there is something wrong, and she immediately asks directly, which makes people very depressed.

Chu Jiaqiang took the water out of the faucet and began to wash the car on the side. The car has also not been washed in a while, and the car is in the countryside and is easily scratched.

Car washing is also a technical job, and there are people who specialize in car washing outside, and it seems that the charge is not cheap. Of course, people are one-stop services such as flushing the car, foaming, wiping the outside of the car, wiping the inside of the car, and inspection.

Car wash towels should be classified and disposed of, and a rag cannot be used to the end, because there is a large amount of fine sand that cannot be washed off in the towel that wipes the lower part of the body, and such a towel is very easy to scratch the car paint.

Chu Jiaqiang first used the upper body sponge to start from the roof, and wiped the rear window glass, side window glass, front windshield, hood, lights and front grille, page panel, upper part of the body waistline, tail lights, etc. one by one.

Subsequently, you have to clean the inside of the car, which is quite troublesome anyway.

Seeing the scratches on the body, Ye Caiping suggested whether to go to the car repair department to get it, anyway, it's not very far, there is a car repair shop in the town.
