When they didn't split up, the four of them were crowded on a big kang, and they were all dressed thick in winter, and they were not afraid of men and women, so He Chun'er and He Zao both got into the thick quilt.

Under him was a warm kang, and the quilt was also warm and soft, He Zao sighed comfortably: "It would be perfect if there was another cup of hot tea!" ”

Qibao immediately dogged the lid from the corner of the kang, took a small teacup, scooped the hot tea and handed it to He Zao.

He Zao smiled contentedly and sighed: "You guys have dug this stove well. ”

The kang in the room of Sibao and Qibao was specially designed, because Qibao likes to drink water at night, and it is not safe to put a coal stove in the house, so Sibao had an idea, learned the appearance of the stove, dug the corner of the kang to a depth of a brick, smeared the paint, and made a cover, which was specially used to store water, and the kang itself was hot, so the boiling water poured into it was warmed.

When I get up thirsty at night, I scoop it directly.

He didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he noticed the convenience, he was full of envy.

"I'll get one for you tomorrow!" Sibao has the appearance of being an elder brother in the end, and immediately played a package ticket.

He Zao grinned and responded.

Qibao came over and was very curious: "Eldest sister, second sister, what are you doing hiding under your mother's window, eavesdropping on the corner?" ”

He Chun'er smiled: "Did you really see it?" ”

"That's it, or I'll be waiting for you! Tell me, what did you hear? Sibao asked.

He Zao didn't hide it, so he said what he had just heard word for word.

Sibao frowned: "Really celebrate the New Year together?" ”

He Zao was categorical: "It's really a good match, as long as our father and mother have this idea, then we will be together!" ”

"Why?" Sibao felt that He Zao was a little strange in the old mansion.

He Zao didn't explain, but only asked Qibao: "Qibao, did you hear any strange words at our grandfather's house?" ”

Qibao is a person who is with Mrs. He day and night, and she laughs when she is old, and He Zao feels that Mrs. He will not necessarily avoid Qibao when talking to people.

Qibao didn't understand her words, and thought about it for a long time with his eyes wide open before he held back a sentence: "I heard our grandmother tell our grandfather that she always has nightmares at night......"

"What nightmare?" He Zao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

Qibao didn't take it seriously, and when he saw this, he seriously recalled: "What is it about, I dreamed of a little doll, and my hands and feet didn't grow!" I didn't understand, our grandfather comforted our grandmother and said that it was a dream, not a real mile, and our grandmother didn't mention it again, but our grandmother didn't sleep well at night, and she was scared to wake up as soon as she slept! ”

He Chun'er frowned, listening to this paragraph of déjà vu.

He Zao's brain was running rapidly: "The little doll that hasn't grown up, is that an unborn baby?" Died early? ”

"Oh!" He Chun'er suddenly realized, her face was a little pale, and she lowered her voice: "I remember, there were no you at that time, it was Sibao, and it was only a lifetime, and our fourth aunt gave birth to a child who was not fully developed, missing a hand, missing a leg, and his facial features were not ......."

"Is that alive?" Qibao was a little scared and hid in He Zao's arms.

He Chun'er shook her head: "Of course I didn't live, I died in my mother's womb, at that time, our fourth aunt cried like a tearful person, and our fourth uncle was a rough man, and he also cried!" It was our mother who buried the child, and the unfinished child was not allowed to enter the grave, and I don't know where our milk was buried. ”

Sibao pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Is it because of our milk?" So the fourth aunt gave birth to a deformed child with incomplete limbs? ”

"I don't know, but I haven't heard our fourth aunt mention it all these years, our fourth aunt is a powerful person, a positive person, and she is more righteous than our mother and the eldest mother, but I don't know why, our grandmother just doesn't like her, before she was in our house, the first thing our mother couldn't get used to was our mother, and then it was her!"

He Chun'er said.

He Zao shook his head: "Whether or not to give birth to a deformed child should have nothing to do with our milk, unless it is our grandmother who has been grinding her daughter-in-law before, so that our fourth aunt made a mistake and caused premature birth or something, is our fourth aunt born prematurely?" ”

This was also many years ago, He Chun'er was young at that time, and she couldn't remember it all for a long time, so she recalled it carefully for a long time before she hesitated and said: "It shouldn't be premature, I remember when I gave birth before, our fourth uncle was always happy and excited outside the delivery room!" ”

He Zao couldn't figure it out: "Then this matter has nothing to do with our grandmother, so why is she weak-hearted?" ”

Several people shook their heads.

He couldn't figure out what he couldn't understand, and they couldn't understand it even more.

"Forget it, it's too late, let's go back, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

He Chun'er yawned.

He Zao absentmindedly followed He Chun'er back, just came out of the warm quilt, and as soon as she encountered the biting cold wind, she sneezed.

He Chun'er hurriedly dragged her: "Go, hurry up, look, you have a cold, don't you." ”

He Zao was also a little worried that he would get sick during the New Year, so he hurriedly ran to his warm quilt and wrapped himself tightly.

He Chun'er added another layer of clothes, and went to the kitchen to scoop boiling water for her: "Drink it all, you won't get sick if you drink it all." As he spoke, he was worried: "Oh, this is really good, should I give you ginger soup tea to drink?" ”

He Zao shook his head: "Do you want to make a fuss that everyone knows?" ”

As he spoke, he drank the boiling water.

He Chun'er had no choice but to get into the quilt anxiously, worrying about her from time to time.

He Zao's nose was a little stuffy, and she was already hazy and sleepy, so He Chun'er brought her a thick quilt again.

She felt the wind and cold, and she felt a lot better when she sweated.

Thanks to Hezao's insistence on exercising for half a year, I sweated, and when I got up the next morning, I felt refreshed and had no symptoms of fever and cold.

He Chun'er's heart that had been worried all night finally let go.

This day is the day of sweeping the house, sweeping the house inside and out, it is considered to usher in the New Year with a new attitude, and in the first five days of the New Year, it is not allowed to sweep the floor, even if it is sweeping, garbage is not allowed to be thrown out.

It is also a custom.

People believe that from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the day when the God of Wealth throws money into the family, which means that in the next year, the family will make a lot of money, and gold and silver treasures will come to the bowl, but if the garbage that symbolizes money is swept out, it is equivalent to sweeping out the opportunity to make a lot of money, and this year will not make money!

Therefore, on the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, it is necessary to clean it thoroughly, and no corner can be let go.

He Laosan has already agreed with the old mansion to clean up for a while before going over.

He was already dressed and wrapped his head and nose tightly, while Chen took a few children to cover his things first to prevent dust from messing around.

He Zao's people were also heavily armed.

Hao San's sister-in-law and Dashan also came to help.

He Laosan saw He Zao, thought about it, and beckoned her to come over: "Zao'er, Dad has something to tell you!" ”

It's coming, He Zao thought!
