017 On crutches

As the saying goes, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the New Year is also the day of sending the god of the stove, the king of the stove, and the day of sending the stove, which is generally held at dusk and night.

Gao Zhao asked her father to make her a crutch two days ago, she must come down by herself and walk two steps, in order to be convenient for herself, not to let the house breathe, and she has to be carried out by her aunt, the most important thing is that she doesn't want to solve the problem on the kang anymore.

Yesterday, Gao Zhao asked his mother and aunt to help her take a bath, took off her clothes, used a big bathtub, and wiped her leg only slightly.

This time, it was a newly made cotton pants with large trouser legs, which was convenient for putting on and taking off injured legs with splints.

Originally, adults and children had to take a bath and get a haircut after the New Year, and there was a saying among the people that "if you have money or not, shave your head for the New Year", but Gao Zhao was in advance, because the whole family had to eat in her grandfather's yard during the New Year, and she was not good at showing up with cotton pants with half of her legs, so Jiang also agreed to her daughter's request.

After breakfast early in the morning, she slowly got off the kang with the support of her mother and aunt, and moved out on crutches and one foot.

It feels so good to be able to stand, every day I hear my two younger brothers running around outside, and the heart is envious, not to mention that people with feet can't understand the psychology of people without feet, and when it's her turn, she can't understand the days she lives on the kang every day if she can walk.

It's been a month, the first time I went out of the house, my head was a little dizzy, Gao Zhao walked to his parents' house with the help of his mother and aunt, and after continuing to go to the kang, my aunt hurriedly went to clean up the house.

The little sister Qiaoyun will be awake and play on the kang by herself, Jiang asked Gao Zhao to look at her sister, and she also went to help her aunt clean up.

Because Gao Zhao strongly demanded that her house be well ventilated, she opened the door for most of the day, and she had lunch in the main house, with the whole family.

The Jiang family and the aunt said that they would be busy in the past two days, and that they would prepare the sacrificial stove before dark today.

In addition to using sacrificial stove sugar, the sacrificial stove should also be branded with green onion oil cakes and firecrackers. The sacrificial stove candy is made of malt, plus sesame seeds, crispy and sweet, and the children look forward to the New Year every year, that is, there are all kinds of food.

The yamen had a holiday in the middle of the afternoon, and Gao Wenlin went to his father after he came back, Jiang and his aunt commanded several subordinates to be busy, and Gao Zhao also returned to his house with the support of his aunt on crutches.

After breathing like this, I felt that the air in the room was fresh, and the Jiang family also changed the bedding for her, and the inside and outside of the house and on the kang were all cleaned, and it looked comfortable.

Gao Zhao called the two younger brothers in, lest they keep going to their mother's to get food, and was happy that the two brothers were allowed to go to the kang, but they were also far away, ready to listen to the eldest sister's story.

At dusk, Gao Chengji took the men in the family to the stove room, because the men did not sacrifice to the moon and the women did not sacrifice to the stove, that is, the sacrifices were placed, and he and Gao Wenlin father and son brought them in.

All put on the table, Gao Chengji took the lead to pay tribute to the stove prince set up in the shrine on the stove wall, he rarely spoke, and he would say a few words at this time every year: Say more good things, don't say bad things.

This is to plug the mouth of the stove prince with stove sugar, so that he will not say bad things. Gao Wenlin took off the statue of the god of the stove from the wall, and gently wiped it on his mouth with stove sugar, Gao Chengji finished saying those two sentences, and then immediately burned it, Gao Wenlin shouted: "Send the stove master to ride a horse to heaven!" And then the sacrifice ended.

On the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, to bring the Stove King home again, that is, the statue of the new Stove King was pasted on the stove.

Greeted the king of the stove, the whole family had dinner in the grandfather's courtyard, and the fruit of the sacrificial stove was eaten by the family, mainly the children.

Even Gao Wenlin also instructed his daughter to eat more, Gao Zhao looked at the incense ashes on some of the sacrifices, but she didn't mind at all, in her previous life, her grandmother always let her eat all kinds of sacrifices every year, and there was a saying, what children eat are not afraid, and what they eat will not get sick for a year.

The two younger brothers also ate some with them, and the old tradition every year, no one was unhappy, that is, after eating at the grandfather's place, the younger brother did not dare to frolic and ate obediently.

When Gao Zhao came, her father was supporting, she walked in on crutches, and when she entered the door, she looked at her grandfather, she shrank her head, I don't know why, maybe she was a thief, oh, she was not a thief, or she was a wearer, and her grandfather was always chattering, so she was afraid of her grandfather, and she usually tried not to be too ostentatious.

After eating, she walked back to the house on crutches, the yard had already been cleaned without a little snow, she touched the ground with her crutches, and walked back slowly, she was not yet proficient, Gao Zhao thought that she must be able to walk with crutches skillfully during the New Year.

The next day is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, dusting and sweeping the house, Gao Zhao's house does not need to be cleaned, the aunt takes a few people to clean one by one, the Jiang family cuts window flowers with Gao Zhao in the west wing, Qiaoyun plays on the kang by himself, and sleeps when he is sleepy.

Jiang's hands are skillful and can cut all kinds of window flowers, Gao Zhao is very clumsy, he can only help, and he can't even help this year.

When it was pasted, Gao Cui came in, and took the cut to another room and pasted it.

While he was busy, his uncle and cousin from the Gao family's room came and went to the front yard.

People outside will rush back to the ancestral house before the child, to sacrifice the stove and worship the ancestors, Gao Chengji and Gao Chengwang are the same father, but after the separation, the ancestral hall is in the ancestral house, Gao Chengji took the family to his father's grave to worship, but Gao Chengwang always wanted his brother to go back to the ancestral house to worship the ancestors together, but Gao Chengji just didn't agree.

And because Gao Lu's family has to cause trouble almost every year, he doesn't go over there, so every year, Gao Chengwang has to take his son to see his eldest brother, and he is always ashamed to apologize.

Gao Chengwang didn't know what Gao Lu did this year, and he was still full of joy when he came, and after saluting the eldest brother and sitting down, and after greeting a few words, Gao Wenlin tactfully said what his aunt had done this year, and tactfully said that he was so frightened that his daughter-in-law took her daughter to hide in her mother's house, and Gao Zhao broke her leg, where is she still lying now.

Gao Chengwang's face changed all the time after listening to his nephew's words, turning red, white, blue, black, red, and ashamed, and Gao Wencai bowed his head even more.

Gao Chengji still had an expressionless face, so Gao Chengwang didn't know what to say, so he had to leave in a hurry with his son ashamed.

Gao Cui didn't dare to enter the house, he listened outside, and hurriedly came in to give Gao Zhaoxue, and said hatefully: "Yes!" Just let them have no face, they can't even control a woman, so they let their aunts jump outside, don't they know? I think it's just pretending to be stupid, hoping that my father will coax me to go back to the ancestral house to worship my ancestors, just as they occupy the ancestral property is our fault for this house, and it has nothing to do with them, your father said it well today, see if they still have the face to come again! ”
