Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month.

The folk proverb: "Twenty-three, the priest of the stove; twenty-four, sweep the house; Twenty-five, grinding tofu; Twenty-six, to cut the meat; Twenty-seven, steamed jujube mountain; Twenty-eighth, pasting New Year's paintings; Twenty-nine, go buy wine; Chinese New Year's Eve, eating dumplings; On the first day of the new year, bow to the ......"

According to the past saying, "Twenty-three, sacrifice to the god of the stove", as soon as the king of the stove ascends to heaven, this year will be approaching.

So!

Since yesterday, the 23rd day of the lunar month, the "New Year" has begun.

Commonly known as "Xiao Nian".

Legend has it that the Lord of the Stove was the god in charge of managing the fires of each house, and he lurked in the kitchens of each house, keeping an eye on the family. On the evening of the twenty-third day, he rode up to heaven and went to report to the Jade Emperor about the good and evil of the family in the past year. The Jade Emperor will decide the good fortune and misfortune of this family in the coming year according to the report of the Lord of the Stove.

Due to the importance of the report of the Lord of the Stove, before he went to heaven, the common people had to engage in a worship ceremony, commonly known as "sending the stove" or "resigning the stove",

Although the procedure of this sacrificial stove is quite cumbersome, the people of Huangjia Village still adhere to the custom of sacrificing the stove every year.

Huang Tao's family is no exception!

After returning home yesterday afternoon, my parents cleaned the kitchen and made a large pot of dough cakes, one for each member of the family, to show the grandeur of the sacrificial stove.

In addition to dough cakes, a plate of stove cakes, a bag of sesame candy, a plate of dessert, two plates of fruit, a handful of forage, and a big rooster that has been killed and left a few tail feathers is also necessary.

The stove cake is for the stove prince to satisfy his hunger on the way to and from the heavenly palace, and the sesame candy is used to stick to the mouth of the stove prince, so that he can't say bad things, and the rooster is given to the "heavenly horse" of the stove prince, as for the fodder, it is naturally fed to the "heavenly horse".

The sacrificial stove ceremony is held at dusk, the father first enshrines the stove cake, sesame candy, rooster and other items in front of the statue of the stove official, and then lights three pillars of incense in front of the statue, and the family takes turns to kowtow to the king of the stove.

While kowtowing, he burned gold and silver paper silk, and then put the sesame candy on the fire to burn it "thin", and the lake caught the mouth of the king of the stove.

Finished!

Throw the hay on the roof of the kitchen and feed it to the Pegasus.

Then the statue of the stove official was taken down and taken to the courtyard to be burned.

While burning, while praying: go on the 23rd, the first and fifth watches of the new year, the king of the stove, you are the head of the family, please ride a horse, bring dry food, go to the heavenly palace, say more good things, don't say bad things, bring more auspicious wishes when you are in the lower realm, everything is prosperous, please......

I'm very interested in the broom stick, and I'd like to try it!

"Mom and Dad, you can take a break, let me do it."

Huang Tao saw that his parents were struggling to do it, and stepped forward to help them.

Huang Yide hurriedly said: "Xiao Tao doesn't need it, your mother and I will finish it right away, and we'll just wipe the furniture and door and window glass a little later, anyway, it's an old house, just do it casually, you can just accompany Xuanxuan."

Huang Tao smiled, patted his father's shoulder and said, "Parents, it's okay if I'm idle anyway, let's do it together, we can do it together, Xuanxuan, are you right?"

In the last sentence, he turned his head and asked Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan nodded vigorously: "Hmm!"

Huang Tao stretched out his hand to her and asked, "Then let's clean up with Xuanxuan, okay?"

Xuanxuan happily took her father's hand: "Okay."

That's it, roll up your sleeves and work hard!

Cleaning the house together will make it more flavorful!

Huang Tao found a broom, a basin, and a rag, and prepared to do it to the dirtiest window first.

Xuanxuan stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Huang Tao's clothes and asked, "Baba, what am I going to do?"

Huang Tao didn't want Xuanxuan to help, after all, the little guy was only 4 years old and not suitable for these rough jobs.

But now she took the initiative to ask for help, and her excited little look made him unbearable to go to her request.

I thought about it.

Huang Tao handed Xuanxuan a rag that wrung out the water, and said, "Dad cleans the glass, Xuanxuan wipes the tea***, as for ***......

He glanced at *** who was squatting at Xuanxuan's feet: "*** Let him be responsible for selling cute!"

As if he understood, he meowed a few times, and lay on the floor and turned over, his belly curled up in all corners.

Well~

I have to say, what a qualified cute baby!

Xuanxuan was suddenly amused by the cute appearance of *** and let out a burst of "giggle" laughter, and then she waved the rag in her hand and said, "Baba, then I'll go wipe the coffee table."

Working with Baba, she is very happy, if you add grandparents, and ***, then the happiness will be doubled!

"Baby, wait."

Huang Tao hurriedly reached out to hold her little hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, Dad will give you a little magic trick."

Magic?

What kind of magic?

Xuanxuan turned her face sideways, and her eyes were full of curiosity, mixed with a little expectation.

I saw my father take a clean newspaper from the simple newspaper shelf next to the sofa and spread it on the sofa.

Then tear the newspaper in half and fold half of it in half.

Then fold the two corners of the folded side evenly to the middle position, and then continue to fold the triangle of the upper opening down according to the crease, and tear open the upper opening and open it in both directions for compaction.

At last!

He gently pulled the triangle on both sides to the left and right......

An ingots hat was made under his skillful hands!

Xuanxuan looked at this scene, and at the same time, her eyes widened, and she also suddenly felt that her father was an omnipotent magician!

She couldn't help but applaud, "Poop is so amazing!"

This praise is so sweet that Huang Tao's heart is gone!

"Come, Daddy put it on for you, so you won't be afraid of dust."

He put this ingots hat on Xuanxuan's head.

Not to mention, it's not too big, it's just right!

"Thank you, Baba~"

Xuanxuan touched the paper ingot hat on her head, and she liked it very much.

"It's time to start!"

Huang Tao stepped on a stool and wiped the windows and doors.

And Xuanxuan also concentrated on the coffee table, even the feet of the coffee table, the rag was dirty, she could also put it in the basin and scrub it clean, without Huang Tao's teaching.

As for ***!

Lazily lying next to the coffee table, quietly watching *** work.

Ay!

Said to sell cute!

Xuanxuan shook her head speechlessly, but what can she do, her own pet, with tears in her eyes, will continue to be petted.

Huang Yide and his wife came over after sweeping the roof, and when they saw this scene, they both smiled, but they didn't say anything, so they went to other rooms to get busy.

I don't want to disturb the warm moment that belongs to their father and daughter!

The living room is not big, and there are only four windows, so it didn't take long to wipe it down, and the whole living room was much brighter.

"Baba~"

Xuanxuan, who finished wiping the coffee table, couldn't help but show off: "I look at my coffee table, is it clean?"

"Wow!"

Luo Kai exclaimed, "It's so clean, Xuanxuan is amazing! Come, take a kiss."

Xuanxuan put her face over and asked her father to kiss her passively.

Hey~

My little cutie, why is she so cute......

"Come!"

Huang Tao didn't let go of his hand and said, "Let Baba kiss again."

Xuanxuan giggled and dodged: "Baba, beard...... Don't ......

Huang Tao stuck to it: "No, tie... Be dear too!"

"Meow~"

Tilting his head and watching the father and daughter make out with round eyes.

Cats want it too!
