"Ah, where did the puppy come from!" The fourth Liu Xi'an waited for Liu Ximing to come back as usual and began to turn over his back basket, and suddenly saw the two puppies, and he was so happy that he didn't even care about the pastries and caramel that his brother bought.

"Hahaha, didn't our family be robbed a few days ago, I thought that if you had a few dogs at home, you wouldn't have to be so scared. Mother, it's almost the New Year, I bought some New Year's goods, how do you think it's placed? Liu Ximing said to the three of them.

Liu Chen patted his head: "Oh, I'm really busy and dizzy, I'm going to be twenty-four soon, I have to prepare to sacrifice to the god of the stove, thanks to you remembering this!" After speaking, he picked up all kinds of New Year's goods and found a place to put them.

Liu Ximing saw the third and fourth children having fun with the little milk dog, and laughed: "Be happy, from now on you will be promoted to shovel official!" ”

The third child said strangely: "Second brother, are you stupid, you have only heard of the prefect and the county master, where did the shovel official come from?" ”

Well, I threw a burden to you, you can't take it, what use do you want!

"I mean, you'll take care of them in the future, so let's give them a name!" Liu Xi said.

"I'll come, I'll come, this black one is called Xiao Hei, and the yellow one is called Xiao Huang!" The fourth hurriedly rushed to the road.

Hehe, this name is as tasteless as you, Liu Ximing Mizhi smiled and shook his head.

The third child thought for a while and said, "I think it's called Black Wind and Yellow Dragon!" ”

"Well, yes, the third brother's idea is very creative, but it's still a little worse than your second brother and me. I have decided, in the future, the black one will be called Wangcai, and the yellow one will be called Laifu! Hahaha, the name is auspicious. ”

The third and fourth looked at each other, revealing the expression of the second brother who was really stupid again.

Oh! Oh! Oh! The two puppies seemed to know that the shackles of fate were set on them, and they howled unwillingly.

Hey, the objection is invalid! Liu Ximing remembered that the two puppies hadn't eaten for an afternoon, so he hurriedly asked the third and fourth to find something to eat, and he took advantage of their absence to get some spiritual spring water from the space.

Wangcai and Laifu immediately came to their senses, and wagged their tails around Liu Ximing to curry favor.

Hey, this spiritual water is so attractive! I just don't know what changes they can make after drinking it, Liu Ximing decided to feed them some spiritual water often in the future, and see if they can cultivate any mutated varieties when the time comes.

On the twenty-fourth day, every household began to get busy, all of them were ready to worship the Lord of the Stove, in the south this day is also called the small year, after this day, because they have already worshiped God, so most of the people feel that the gods go to heaven, there is no taboo, and since then until the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is regarded as an auspicious day for weddings, and the taste of the year will become stronger and stronger.

The sacrificial stove must be presided over by the male owner of the family according to tradition, two years ago because Liu Ximing's father Liu Shanqi died, there was no man in the family, and the family had to mourn, so it was just a simple worship. This year, perhaps because Liu Ximing showed the ability to make people trust, Liu Chen asked him to preside over the sacrifice, so as not to anger the prince of the stove without a formal sacrifice for several years.

Just a few days ago, Liu Shanqi's three-year mourning expired, and the family could finally live a lively Chinese New Year's Eve in addition to mourning clothes.

The sacrificial stove is usually at night, Liu Chen's early in the morning made hemp balls, oil fruits and other sacrificial supplies, this thing is also called the stove fruit, it tastes very sweet and sticky to the teeth, with this sacrificial stove god to take the meaning is to let the stove king stick his teeth after eating, lest he go to the sky in front of the Jade Emperor to say bad things about himself.

The portrait of the god of the stove of the Liu family is hung on the east side of the kitchen, after a year of smoky fire, it has already been smoked black, and so everyone put the sacrifices on the table, light a few fragrances, Liu Ximing hugged a grass horse, and worshiped with his family, at this time, even the most out-of-the-box old man did not dare to mess around, and could only kneel behind in a regular manner.

In a cloud of smoke, Liu Ximing recited the sacrificial words: "The East Kitchen Division ordered Jiuling Yuan Wang Dingfu Shenjun to be on top, Xiaomin Liu Ximing and his family to worship again, and now the year's events are reported as follows, since this year, the family is becoming more and more embarrassed, but the Xiaomin family often remembers the teachings of the sage, and they are diligent in their own work, and they are kind to others, although they are poor and lowly, they dare not do anything wrong, and often have good deeds around them, and they are blessed by the Ziwei Emperor and the Stove Jun, and at the end of the year, the family has surplus wealth, the cabinet has surplus grain, and the Stove Jun has a real performance, and the Xiaomin family is safe, a thriving family! ”

When he finished reciting the sacrificial words, he took off the portrait of the god of the stove, took the stove candy and smeared a painting on the mouth of the god of the stove, which means that the mouth of the god of the stove is sweet and does not say bad things, and then the grass horse and the portrait are burned together, and they shout together to send the king of the stove to heaven! This is considered the completion of the stove delivery.

On the twenty-ninth day, there was a heavy snow in the sky, seeing the third and fourth elders cheering, Liu Ximing was also very excited, but knowing the history of the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a shadow lingering in his heart, you must know that in modern times he has not seen snow in Sichuan several times, let alone such a big snow, it seems that the Xiaoice River period has already begun, but it only intensified during the Chongzhen period, and in the next few years, there was famine everywhere in China, and I hadn't thought about what the space should be planted before, Today, it seems that we should think about growing food.

But that's all for later, now we have to enjoy the heavy snow first, Liu Xi jumped into the yard with a scream, picked up a few clumps of snow and kneaded them into snowballs and quietly walked behind the third and fourth children, put the snowballs into their necks at once, and then immediately laughed and ran away, where would these two brothers be willing, chasing and killing him all over the yard.

By the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole village was lit up, even if most of the village were tenants, but in order to ask God for a good fortune, gritting their teeth and preparing some New Year's goods, the village crackled everywhere The sound of firecrackers sounded, Liu Ximing pulled his two younger brothers around the village, running wherever it was lively, plus other children in the village, the whole village was filled with a strong smell of the year.

Liu Ximing looked at these firecrackers and thought again, should he do some gunpowder to defend himself, before Zhang Yucheng forced the debt for the first time, he thought that if he didn't pay back the money in the end, the Zhang family wanted to be hard, and then he couldn't say that he would throw two rounds at him, but in the end, he found space and successfully solved the debt crisis, but he forgot about it. Anyway, I have space, and after I do it, I put it in the space, and no one can usually see it, so I throw it away when something happens, hehehe!

In the evening, the family gathered in the hall to observe the New Year, and Liu Chen also gave each of his three sons a New Year's money, which made the third and fourth children smile happily. Seeing that his family was so happy, Liu Ximing also told Liu Chen about reading.

Liu Chen had thought about this before when the Zhang family's debts were paid off, and he originally planned to wait for the New Year to talk to his second son about it, but he was even happier to see him take the initiative to mention it.

It's just that when it came to where to study, Liu Chen was in a difficult situation, and thought about it and said to Liu Xi: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and I am going to your uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, but I will ask him later." ”

Liu Ximing thought about it, so he didn't say anything, and played with the third and fourth children to tease Wangcai and Laifu. Waiting until midnight, listening to the noise outside the village, the third and fourth children also made a fuss.

Chongzhen has been seven years, and it's here!
