Chapter 286: Cleaning, Sticking Couplets
"Bang bang!"
Outside, firecrackers rang out one after another, waking up Yunyi, who was asleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the big girl walking in from outside.
"Uncle, it's almost six o'clock, you haven't gotten up yet?" The eldest girl walked to the side of Yunyi's bed with the cold wind outside, and looked at Yunyi with a peaceful smile.
"Get up!" Yun Yi said, but he felt a burst of cold when he just did it, and hurriedly got into the quilt again, and said in surprise: "Hmm, it's so cold outside, isn't it snowing?" Yun Yi hid in the quilt, feeling the cold outside, and asked.
"yes, it snowed last night!" The eldest girl smiled and took the clothes that Yun Yi put aside, and Yun Yi reluctantly got dressed.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the morning I eat dumplings, vegetarian egg and leek dumplings.
According to the customs of the small town, the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year cannot eat meat-filled dumplings, otherwise the family will be 'meat' throughout the year, which means that people are particularly stupid.
After eating the dumplings, Yun Yi's mother, Yun Yan and the eldest girl brushed the dishes and chopsticks, and began to prepare for cleaning.
Every Chinese New Year, according to our Chinese tradition, no matter how lazy people's homes are, they will be cleaned up to clean up the dirty places at home.
In addition to making it comfortable to watch the house clean everywhere during the New Year, the main thing is that the tradition believes that cleaning up the home can make people refreshed in the new year and get rid of last year's bad luck and bad luck.
To do this kind of work, Yun Yi is naturally the main force, such as Yun Yi's mother and Yun Yan can't reach the window, Yun Yi easily climbs on it and wipes it with a rag.
"Yunzi, mom can't reach the ceiling of this place, come over and wipe it!" When Yunyi's mother cleaned the ceiling of the kitchen, she couldn't reach a corner of the house, so she called Yunyi.
"Okay. I'm coming! Yun Yi hurriedly took the rag and climbed onto the stool.
"Be careful, don't fall!" Yunyi's mother habitually instructed, although Yunyi is twenty-seven years old, in the eyes of Yunyi's mother, he is still regarded as a child.
The corner of the kitchen is very dirty, because there is no range hood, the corner of the house is full of black and dark fumes, Yunyi cleaned it up for a long time, and let the big girl who was carrying the basin wash the rag change several clean rags. It can be regarded as cleaning the fumes from the corner of the house, and then getting off the stool.
"Hehe, my uncle has become a big flower face!" As soon as the eldest girl looked up, she happened to see Yun Yi's face, and immediately stopped being amused by the black and white places on Yun Yi's face.
"What's wrong?" Yun Yi naturally didn't know that there was oil smoke on his face, looked at the smiling face of the big girl suspiciously, and thought suspiciously: Could it be that he is much more handsome at this moment, which makes the big girl happy?
"Brother, your face is full of smoke!" Yun Yan, who was wiping the big wardrobe, also pointed at Yun Yi, and her waist couldn't straighten up with a smile.
Yunyi's mother couldn't help laughing. Gently pushed Yunyi's back, and said with a slight smile: "Go and wash your face, it's blackened by the fumes!" ”
The room continued to laugh, and Yunyi's father, who was grinding the Spring Festival couplets, watched this warm scene. A smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's good that the family is happy, such a happy family, no amount of money can be exchanged.
Happiness is good, plain and bland. There is grain in the warehouse, there is a little spare money in the hand, and there is no illness or disaster. It's a happy day.
"Yunyi, let's go and post the door pair!" Yunyi's father wrote the couplet, and when he saw that the house was almost cleaned up, Yunyi's father carried the paste prepared by Yunyi's mother and said to Yunyi.
"Dad, I'm going too!" Yun Yan saw the couplet and the big red blessing character, and hurriedly threw down the rag that was wiping the chair, and trotted to follow her father.
"This girl, she is so big and still not stable at all!" Yunyi's mother said softly, but there was no displeasure on her face, and she still smiled.
Seeing that Yun Yan also went to follow the Spring Festival couplets, the eldest girl wanted to follow Yun Yi, but the daughter-in-law had just arrived at her mother-in-law's house, so it was not good to leave her mother-in-law alone.
"You go too, girl, there are only a few tables left, and I'm not old enough to move!" Yunyi's mother knew that her daughter-in-law was clinging to her son, so she generously drove her daughter-in-law over.
The big girl's face was slightly red, and she cleaned all the rags quickly, and then ran out quickly.
Spring Festival is something that Chinese, or all Chinese in the world, will post during the New Year; There are slight differences in this custom across the country, but they are basically the same.
Spring couplets are composed of couplets and horizontal slopes, and the couplets are pasted on both sides of the door frame and horizontally on the door.
The couplets on both sides, regardless of the content, are the expectation of a better life, while the horizontal criticism is the finishing touch.
There are also door gods and blessing words, the door gods needless to say are Qin Qiong and Jingde, and the blessing characters are also posted on every door.
Yun Yi held a brush in his hand, stood on a stool and brushed the paste on both sides of the door, and then carefully pasted and straightened the couplet, the blessing character and the door god under the command of his father.
In the eldest girl and Yun Yan, they helped to carry the paste basin and hold the couplet, and let Yun Yi's father point fingers, but they really had the style of the head of the family.
After a while, the doors of the entire small courtyard were pasted, and the last thing left was a red letter of 'safe all the way', which was pasted on the walk-behind tractor that had been bought for many years at home.
After pasting the couplet, the preparations for the New Year are completed, Yun Yi and his father can rest, and Yun Yan and the two girls are following Yun Yi's mother to wrap dumplings at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night today, or one o'clock in the morning tomorrow.
In the evening, the family gathered around the table again, ate the last dinner of the year in the clean and clean house, and the next time they opened their eyes to eat, it was the new year.
After eating, the family gathered in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and after Yun Yi looked at it twice, he felt that this thing was really not attractive to him, so he yawned and went to sleep.
"Brother, don't you keep the New Year?" Yun Yan looked at Yun Yi who was yawning, her big eyes rolling.
"What age are you keeping, sleepy, broken!" Yawning, Yun Yi entered the hut and fell asleep on the bed.
"Bang bang bang!" Yun Yi, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the big girl running in at the door.
"Uncle, get up quickly, eat dumplings, mom has finished the dumplings!" Lying at the head of the bed, the big girl's eyes sparkled in the darkness and looked at Yunyi.
"Well, I'll eat you first!" Yun Yi reached out and hugged the big girl's head and kissed her the small mouth.
"Well, uncle, the whole family is waiting, and you know that you are fooling around!" The eldest girl pushed Yun Yi away hard, her little face was flushed, and then she turned around and ran out of the group, and turned around to warn Yun Yi before going out: "Hurry up, uncle, the family is waiting for you!" (To be continued.) )
