"Mom, do you have a yard (Note 1) at home?

While eating breakfast, Tian Qingqing asked.

Hao Lanxin was stunned: "Yo, I forgot about this." ”

It's no wonder that after Hao Lanxin got married, she has been following the old man for the New Year. Things like worshiping the gods and asking for yards are all handled by the mother-in-law Tian Lu. She just gave Tian Lu's a hand, serving food or something. In the first year, I settled down and lived, and I really didn't know much about this aspect.

"Hey, we rushed to the morning market, why didn't we see anything for sale?" Hao Lanxin asked her husband, who was drinking porridge with a bowl next to her.

Tian Dalin smiled: "Do you still expect to see the stalls?" People are secretly selling. ”

Hao Lanxin gave him a blank look: "Do you know why you don't remind me?" ”

Tian Dalin: "I didn't expect to celebrate the New Year by myself in the first year. ”

"I thought about it." Mrs. Yang drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl, and said, "I haven't been able to take care of my personal children all these years, and I haven't been happy with this heart." I don't know if I want to ask or not, so I don't have words. ”

Hao Lanxin: "Then, Aunt Yang, today is the day when the Lord of the Stove goes to heaven, do you say that we still sacrifice the stove or not?" ”

Mrs. Yang: "It is said that if there is a stove, there will be a stove." The sacrifice is okay, and it is auspicious. Legend has it that the Lord of the Stove is the Jade Emperor's 'Nine Heavens East Kitchen Si Ming Stove Wangfu Jun', who is responsible for managing the stove fire of each family, and is the protector of the family. ”

As soon as Tian Qingqing saw Mrs. Yang talking about folklore, she immediately became interested and said happily to Mrs. Yang:

"Grandma Yang, what's going on with the sacrificial stove, you can tell us more."

Mrs. Yang knew that the family was sincere to her and would not pass on her words. Tian Qingqing is her most convincing and favorite child, so she said as much as she knew:

Legend has it that on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Lord of the Stove will go to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor the work and living conditions of each family in the past year, and then the Jade Emperor will hand over the rewards and punishments due to each family to the Lord of the Stove to deal with.

"King Zao, who received the order of the Jade Emperor, came to the world with other gods on the last day of the month of La, the twenty-ninth day of the small month and the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Because he was familiar with the situation of each house, he led the gods to each house. Therefore, the Lord of the Stove is also considered to be the guiding god of the heavenly gods

"The other gods ascend to heaven again after the Chinese New Year, and only the Lord of the Stove will stay in the kitchen for a long time.

"It is precisely because the Lord of the Stove is so important that people will smear sugar on the mouth of the Lord of the Stove on the day that the Lord of the Stove goes to heaven, so that the mouth of the Lord of the Stove will be a little sweeter, and he will not be allowed to say that the human being is not in front of the Jade Emperor. Because the sugar melon is sticky, people generally offer incense to this.

"It is precisely because of the importance of the 23rd day of the lunar month that it is called 'Xiao Nian'er'. In other words, the "year" we are living today is actually the Lord of the Stove. Therefore, every family has to sacrifice to the stove. ”

Tian Youqiu interjected: "We didn't invite, there is no stove prince, how can we sacrifice?" ”

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "It's your mother who invited it, and she also invited it for the New Year." This year's stove lord was invited at this time last year. At that time, you were still in the gang, and you were not invited. Sacrifice a sacrifice to show your heart. ”

Tian Dalin: "Actually, now all families don't have a statue of the king and god, that is, nail a wooden board in that position and put an incense burner, which represents." It's the same in the old courtyard. When the family was separated, the Lord of the Stove also followed us. After a while, I nailed a wooden board to the wall of the stove and put an incense burner, and our family will have the king of the stove. ”

"Then do you want to ask for a yard?" Tian Qingqing asked.

Tian Dalin said that Tian Qingqing has seen several of them. For example, the second aunt's house, grandmother's house, and the best grandmother's house that she alarmed are all like this. But if you don't ask for a code, she won't know.

Tian Dalin: "It is expressly forbidden from above, and many people still secretly invite it." I didn't dare to stick it, and some of them were pressed under the incense burner, and I quickly took it down as soon as there was a situation. After the New Year, some burned a piece when they were sent to the Lord of Heaven and Earth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. ”

Hao Lanxin asked Mrs. Yang again: "There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, please be okay again?" ”

Mrs. Yang: "It's okay. Just invite them before the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

At this time, Tian Qingqing couldn't help but laugh.

Hao Lanxin glanced at her with disgust: "Silly you, what are you laughing at?" ”

Tian Qingqing couldn't help but smile and said to Hao Lanxin, "I knew I couldn't think of it." I had already asked (bought) to come a few days ago. ”

Hao Lanxin smiled in surprise and scolded: "Dead Nizi, is this deliberately teasing me?" It made me regret it for a long time. ”

Tian Qingqing said with a smile: "Let you regret it, and remember it next year." ”

Hao Lanxin: "Why did you remember to invite this?" ”

Tian Qingqing: "That day I saw a middle-aged woman in the market, whispering in the crowd as she walked: 'Please don't sell yard......s', she always said this sentence over and over again. I was thinking it strange when an old lady in her fifties stopped her and asked her how much it was. The woman said three points. I went up and looked at it, and when I saw that it was this, I bought it, and ah no, I asked for a set. None of you were home when I came back, so I put it aside. Later, I forgot to tell you. Because today is the day when the Lord of the Stove goes to heaven, I remembered it. ”

Mrs. Yang: "Have you bought sugar melons?" The sacrificial stove needs sugar melons. ”

Tian Qingqing: "I bought it." And please buy it in an episode. I'm afraid I'll melt it in the north room and put it in the south room of the west wing. As he spoke, he stood up and went to get it.

Tian Dalin hurriedly stopped her with gestures and said, "I'll go after eating." The room was furious, and I had to wash my hands when I came back. ”

Tian Qingqing drank the porridge in the bowl in two sips, "quack" and "quack" ran to the west wing, dodged into the space, and took out the yard and a bag of sugar melons prepared there.

At this time, the people at the table also put down their rice bowls. Tian Qingqing gave the yard to Hao Lanxin, and gave Tian Youqiu, Tian Youchun and Tian Miaomiao a flat round sugar melon.

Tian Youchun was anxious, and when he got it in his hand, he bit it down, and his teeth were squeezed for a while, and it hurt so much that he "sizzled haha".

Seeing this, Tian Qingqing hurriedly said: "This is maltose, which is very sticky and hard, and you can't bite it directly." Split it with a kitchen knife and put it in your mouth piece by piece. ”

As he spoke, he took two more pieces from his bag, cut them into eight small pieces with a kitchen knife, and put them on the table for everyone to taste.

Tian Dalin picked up a piece with chopsticks and looked at it again and again, and saw that there were a lot of tiny bubbles in it, put it in his mouth and chewed it, crispy, sweet and crispy, and said in surprise: "It's still real Kanto sugar." Qingqing, where did you buy it? ”

Tian Qingqing: "On the set." I saw a copy, and there were many people who bought it, so I bought a pack. ”

Tian Dalin became happy: "When I was young, your grandmother also bought it during the Chinese New Year. I'm going to love this one the most. I haven't seen it for more than ten years, but I didn't expect you to buy it. ”

Tian Qingqing: "In the future, when I see new things, I will buy them at home, so that you can taste all the good things." ”

At the same time, I sighed in my heart: people at this time are real and do not falsify the goods. It's less. But as long as you buy it, it's the real thing. Unlike the modern life of the previous life, there is a wide variety of goods, and fakes abound.

Hao Lanxin looked at the colorful yard in her hand, and was both excited and ashamed: she had such a daughter who remembered things, and she was so relieved. But at the same time, I also developed the habit of being relaxed, and I don't have to think about everything. It seems that in the future, I will really think about family matters.

"Sister, this is the sugar melon of 'Twenty-three, Sugar Melon Sticky'?" Tian Miaomiao asked happily with the sugar melon.

Tian Qingqing: "Well. Hey, Miao Miao, you can recite the children's song "New Year" I just taught you to your father, mother and Grandma Yang. ”

Tian Miaomiao was still a little embarrassed, and smiled at the people at the dinner table.

Mrs. Yang: "Miao Miao, what kind of singing have you learned?" Tell Grandma Yang about it. Grandma Yang loves to listen to Miao Miao's rap the most.

Tian Miaomiao now speaks clearly, can speak complete sentences, and can memorize dozens of children's songs. And he also loves to talk to people, and when he doesn't pay attention to his children, he can also distinguish three points for himself. This made Tian Qingqing very happy for himself when he was young.

Tian Qingqing: "Miao Miao, tell me, rap to your parents, Grandma Yang, you are still ashamed." ”

Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin also encouraged her, praising her for saying the best, better than what her brothers and sisters said when they were young.

Tian Miaomiao was encouraged, so she sat on a small bench and said:

"Don't be greedy, little boy,

After Laba is the New Year.

Twenty-three, melon sticky.

Twenty-four, sweep the house.

Twenty-five, paste the windows.

Twenty-six, stewed pork.

Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster.

Twenty-eight, put the face hair.

Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns.

Thirty nights to stay up for one night,

The first day of the new year twisted and twisted. ”

Tian Miaomiao followed Mrs. Yang all day long, and Mrs. Yang was also her first listener. This children's rhyme, Mrs. Yang heard Tian Miaomiao say it yesterday, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, Miao Miao, why did you change 'old lady' to 'little boy'?" ”

Tian Miaomiao blinked her eyes: "My sister said, guarding the 'old lady' will say 'little boy'." ”

The people at the table were all amused by her.

"In the nursery rhyme, it says, 'Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns', let's eat it now. The nursery rhyme is not accurate at all. Tian Youqiu pointed to the steamed buns on the grate and said.

Tian Youchun also said: "It says, 'Twenty-five, paste the window', our house is glass, how can it be pasted?" ”

Tian Dalin explained: "The children's rhyme is about smooth talk. It shows that after a small year, just a few days, it's time to do these things. What to do on a day is up to you to ......" (to be continued)
