Chapter 515: Twenty-Four Sweeping Day

The next day, the two went to the City God Temple in the morning, visited the Yu Garden in the afternoon, bought a lot of souvenirs and souvenirs, and stayed in the hotel for another night in the evening.

On the third day, I drove home, and when I got home, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Q heard the movement and ran out to greet him.

"Are Zhennan and Xiao Guo back?" Aunt Zhang's voice came from inside.

"It should be!" Gu Xide walked out of the room.

Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan walked inside with large bags and small bags.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly came out to help with the things, "Have you bought so many things?" ”

"It's all some special products, isn't it going to be the New Year, there are also some New Year's goods, some of which we don't have in the capital." Guo Xiang said with a smile.

When I walked to the door of the room and saw Gu Xide standing by the door, the two called "Grandpa" in unison.

"Coming back?" Gu Xide nodded.

"Hey, grandpa, it's cold outside, come into the house." Guo Xiang said.

"It's okay, I'll just stand for a while." Gu Xide smiled, and he was happy to see that his grandson and his wife were so good.

"Haven't eaten yet, have you? I made dumplings today, and I will cook two bowls of dumplings for you? Aunt Zhang said.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!" Guo Xiang's mouth is very sweet, and Gu Zhennan has always been silent.

After eating dumplings, the two went back to the room after washing.

"Ah, it's finally back again!" Guo Xiang threw himself on the bed.

Gu Zhennan smiled and found that his daughter-in-law liked this action very much, very cute, like a small animal.

"Get up!" Gu Zhennan patted his daughter-in-law's buttocks.

"What's wrong?" Guo Xiang stood up in a daze, thinking that something was wrong.

"Wait until I lie down...... Gu Zhennan lay down on the bed, turned his head sideways and said to Guo Xiang: "Do the action just now again!" ”

"......" Guo Xiang.

My husband's level of hooliganism is getting higher and higher.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhennan looked up at her, why didn't he pounce?

"Get out of ......" Guo Xiang scolded with a smile, pulled up the quilt and buried Gu Zhennan's whole person, held him down, and smiled.

The two of them quarreled in bed for a while, and then rolled into the bed again.

The next day, the two got up at nine o'clock, and when they were eating breakfast, they saw Aunt Zhang doing hygiene.

"Aunt Zhang, are you cleaning up today? I'll help you later! Guo Xiang said.

"Okay!" Zhang Xian smiled, "Today is the twenty-fourth of the year, and it is the day of the dust sweeping stove. ”

"Twenty-four today? Wasn't yesterday a small year? Guo Xiang sighed, "We all forgot, we spent a small year outside." ”

No wonder Aunt Zhang made so many dumplings yesterday, and she also wants to eat dumplings during the New Year.

"It's okay, don't worry about the New Year, just spend the New Year together." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Guo Xiang nodded, "I still remember that there is a ballad in our capital:

Children, don't be greedy, it's the New Year after Laba.

Laba porridge, after a few days, mile la twenty-three.

Twenty-three, sugar melons are sticky; Twenty-four, the day of house sweeping;

Twenty-five, fried tofu; Twenty-six, stewed white meat;

Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; ……”

"Twenty-eight, make the dough ......" Aunt Zhang smiled and answered, patting her forehead, "Yes, I also made laba garlic, do you want to taste it?" ”

"Okay, I haven't eaten it in years." Guo Xiang said with a smile.

Aunt Zhang took out a transparent glass bottle from the kitchen cupboard, which contained green laba garlic.

"How is it green?" Gu Zhennan was a little curious.

The main thing is that he left home early, and his mother was depressed a few years before he ran away, and he didn't have a good New Year, and later his father took Cheng Juan, and he didn't treat him as a son, so he didn't have any impression of the New Year in the capital.

"This laba garlic is marinated in sugar and vinegar, so it turns green." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

I brought two pairs of chopsticks and a small butterfly, and took out a few cloves of garlic, "You guys taste it!" ”

Gu Zhennan picked up the chopsticks and threw one into his mouth, with a sweet and sour taste, with a little bit of garlic itself spicy.

He nodded, and suddenly missed the chopped chili pepper made by Wang Guiying, which also had garlic in it, and the salty, salty, spicy and spicy was the most delicious.

The difference between the north and the south is quite large.

Guo Xiang also tasted one, "It's very authentic, the same as my mother's cooking." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled very happily, and the people who cook food especially like others to praise themselves for doing well.

"It's best to eat dumplings with garlic, and I forgot to take them out yesterday." Aunt Zhang said.

"It's okay, we can still eat today." Guo Xiang smiled.

"Zhennan, let's help Aunt Zhang clean up together, shall we?" Guo Xiang said.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, although Aunt Zhang's identity is just a nanny, she has taken care of Gu Xide for many years and has always been conscientious, so they treat her as an elder, and now they naturally help to do it together when they are free.

Gu Xide walked out of the room, he felt very stuffy in the room alone, and he wanted to come out when he heard the excitement outside.

Aunt Zhang naturally understood his thoughts, took a brazier and put it under the table, and covered him with a thick blanket, so that he could watch everyone do things in the hall and not have to stay alone in the room.

Guo Xiang saw that Aunt Zhang was so attentive and was very grateful to her.

The small courtyard is not too big, Gu Zhennan is responsible for sweeping the dust, and Guo Xiang and Aunt Zhang are scrubbing everywhere.

The weather is cold, and Aunt Zhang boils hot water, so her hands will not be so cold.

I did it all morning, and I ate dumplings at noon, and in the afternoon Aunt Zhang said that she wanted to sacrifice the stove, although now they all use gas stoves, she said that the tradition can not be lost.

In the kitchen, a statue of the god of the stove was pasted, and Kanto sugar and water were also placed.

Then he posted the newly bought New Year's picture in the hall, and asked Gu Zhennan to take the door god and paste it on the door.

He brought a roll of red paper and said that he would cut the window grille.

This is generally not available in the south, Guo Xiang thought it was funny, and asked Aunt Zhang to teach him to cut window flowers.

Aunt Zhang's hands are very skillful, no need to draw, the scissors in her hand are turning around, and finally spread out to see, it is a magpie primrose.

"Aunt Zhang is amazing!" Guo Xiang exclaimed.

"No, when I used to live in the political and legal compound, the neighbors would come to Aunt Zhang for window flowers every Chinese New Year, but this year they have no place to go." Gu Xide said with a smile.

"Aunt Zhang, teach me quickly, I want to cut it too!" Guo Xiang is very positive.

"Okay, it's actually not difficult, look at me!" Aunt Zhang took out another piece of cut red paper and folded it, and Guo Xiang also folded it in her style.

"Then cut it here first, and then ...... like this," Aunt Zhang said, and Guo Xiang followed along.

In the end, although Guo Xiang's is not as beautiful as Aunt Zhang's, he can probably see the pattern, which is quite good.

"Xiao Guo is so smart, just learn it!" Aunt Zhang was very satisfied.

Guo Xiang smiled, maybe because he always used a scalpel and surgical scissors, so the cutting work was not bad? But if she is asked to play a sweater or something, she will really have a crippled hand.

Gu Zhennan looked at the side with a smile in his eyebrows, his daughter-in-law is smart, no one can compare.

"Stick this to the window of our room, right?" Guo Xiang gave Gu Zhennan the window flowers he cut, although the cut was not so even, it was his first work, and it was worth staying.

In later generations, almost all of these villas were not posted, and even if they were posted, they were also bought.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded happily, no matter how ugly her daughter-in-law is, she can't lose it.
