"Alive!"

Liu Yiyi came out of the door, only said two words, picked up his medicine bag and walked straight away. The people outside also rushed in to get a glimpse of what was going on inside the house, and no one noticed Yanagichichi's departure.

Liu Yiyi bought some gifts for Liu Ertiao and Liu Xiaohui and hurried home, the operation on the injured man wasted a lot of his time, and now that the sun is setting, his family will inevitably worry about him if he goes back late.

When he got home, it was already dark, and the whole family was sitting in the main hall waiting for him to come back for dinner. When Liu He saw him coming back, he had a big bag on his body, so he got up and helped him take it down, and kept babbling, "You kid, why did you come back so late, the family thought you had an accident outside, and were about to let your father go out to find you?" ”

Liu Yiyi's heart was moved, and he hadn't experienced this kind of caring feeling for a long time. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was chased and scolded by his parents when he was a child.

After putting the things away, Liu Yiyi found a place to sit down, and said, "Mother, I am already an adult, I know how to take care of myself, you don't have to worry too much." Seeing that there were two meat dishes on the table, I couldn't help but ask strangely: "Dad, mother, what day is today, the meal is so rich?" ”

"You kid, life is confused, today is a small year, it is the day of the sacrificial stove, how can it be the same as before?" Ryu replied with a smile.

"Oh." Liu Yi suddenly, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the festival of the king of the stove. Although this festival has gradually been neglected in modern times, in ancient times, it was a big day of the year.

I heard that there is a custom of "men do not worship the moon, women do not sacrifice to the stove" in the folk, saying that the king of the stove is a little white face, and he can't see women, so he doesn't let women worship, I don't know if it's true or not.

"Have you bought all the sacrifices?" Liu Yiyi asked casually.

"I bought it a long time ago, a roast suckling pig's head, two big red carp, and some fried candy. This year's blessing of the king of the stove, our family's days are quite rich, so the sacrifices should be richer. Liu replied with a red face. This year is the most prosperous year that their old Liu family has had in the past ten years, and it is normal for him to be happy in his heart.

"Eat fast! After a while, when it gets dark, the sacrifice will begin. There is no delay in this matter. Seeing that Liu Yiyi wanted to ask something, Lao Liu blocked his mouth with a word. The family buried their heads in eating.

There is meat on the table, and the happiest ones are Liu Ertiao and Liu Xiaohui. Previously, in order to wait for Liu Yiyi to return, he had been drooling for a long time looking at the food on the table. Now that they can finally eat, they almost immediately rushed to the two plates of meat dishes with their chopsticks.

Liu Yiyi looked at the two little gluttonous cats with a smile, feeling a little sour in his heart, thinking that in another month at most, he would let them eat meat dishes every day. The current life is too hard, adults are okay, and children are not good for their physical development if they are vegetarian.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you." Liu Yiyi sandwiched a piece of fat meat for his little sister, and said with a smile: "Today is Xiao Nian, it just so happened that when I arrived in the county, I bought some new clothes for Erjo and Xiaohui, you can try it after dinner, if it fits, wear it." Although it is a small year, it must also have a New Year's appearance. ”

Liu Ertiao and Liu Xiaohui were so excited when they heard that they even stopped the chopsticks that were holding the vegetables, and asked in surprise, "Really?!" Eldest brother! ”

"Of course it's true, the clothes are in the package. You eat first, and then let your mother change it for you after eating. ”

"Hmm!" The two of them nodded in unison, eating a little faster than just now.

Liu Yiyi looked at them and smiled dotingly, turned his head to Liu Laoshi and his wife, and said, "Dad, mother, you will also go and buy some clothes in a few days for the New Year, this year we have a lot of money, and we will also have a rich year." ”

"Well, well, it should be, your mother hasn't bought new clothes in six years, and I'm going to buy a few more this year."

"You old man, you still have some thoughts." A trace of red crawled out of Liu He's face, and said: "But it's free to buy clothes, spend all that unjust money to do, and it may not be good to do it outside." Hurry up and buy a few feet of cloth from the cloth village in the county, and I'll make a set for each of you. ”

"Well, yes, yes, I forgot, Madame still has a pair of skillful hands. Hehe..."Liu honestly put down his chopsticks and laughed. caused Liu He's eyes to roll his eyes.

After eating, Lao Liu drove the two female dependents of Liu He and Liu Xiaohui to the house. Pull the willow one willow and two brothers into the stove room, and burn incense in front of the portrait of the stove king. Put all the offerings on the incense table. For a while, the entire kitchen was filled with smoke, and it really had a bit of a god-man descending to earth.

Lao Liu then found a rooster with a big red crown out of nowhere, stuffed it into Liu Ertiao's hand, and said, "This is the red horse used by the Lord of the Stove to ascend to heaven, you are so alive." ”

Signaling Liu Yi and Liu Ertiao to kneel, Lao Liu picked up the wine, respectfully poured a glass in front of the statue of the Stove King, and then raised his glass and kowtowed. There are words in his mouth, and his expression is very reverent.

It was the first time for Liu Yiyi to experience such a formal worship ceremony, and he was very curious in his heart, and closely followed Liu Laoshi's every move. When Liu Laoshi was kowtowing and chanting, his voice was very muffled, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all. However, according to Liu Yiyi's guess, he said nothing more than begging for peace, wealth from heaven and something like that.

Finally, I heard Lao Liu shouting: "Lead!" Then he took the wine glass and walked up to Yanagi Erjo, and poured the wine from the cup on the rooster's head.

On a cold day, the rooster was stimulated by the cold wine, and then he clucked, flapping his wings to shake off the wine on his head, until the willows were all over his body.

"Hmm." Seeing this, Liu honestly smiled with satisfaction. put the wine glass on the table, and said to Liu Yiyi and the two: "Okay, the Lord of the Stove has gone to the West Heaven, you can get up." ”

"In addition, these sacrifices have been given to us, you go and call your mother and Xiaohui, eat these sacrifices, and the Lord of the Stove can bless my Liu family with peace for the next year."

Liu Yiyi got up in response, rubbed his knees, which were a little sore, and pulled Liu Erjo into the inner room. Yanagi Nijo's clothes are wet with alcohol, so he needs to change them quickly.

"Big brother, the day after tomorrow will go to the palace of Lord Wang to hold an apprenticeship ceremony, and it stands to reason that I, as a student, should give a gift to Mr. to show filial piety. But I don't know what to give. Big brother, you have to teach me. "Entering the house, Yanagi Nijo took off his clothes and asked Yanagi for advice.

Liu Yiyi smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry about this, I will prepare it for you at that time, and I will ensure that Wang Xiancheng is satisfied." ”

"In this way, thank you big brother." Saying that, Liu Ertiao, this kid respectfully gave Liu Yiyi a salute.

Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this kid was thanking himself for finding a good background for him. smiled and patted Liu Erjo on the shoulder, and said, "You have grown up!" But we're all brothers, so you don't have to be so polite to me. I do this for you and for our Liu family. You don't have to take it too seriously. ”

"Yes, big brother."

"Well, okay, let's go out too, Daddy and Mom are all waiting. There are so many sacrifices waiting for us to eat them. As he spoke, he walked out with Yanagi Erjo.
