Chapter 515 Twenty-Four House Cleaning Days

  The next day, the two went to Chenghuang Temple in the morning, visited Yu Garden in the afternoon, bought a lot of special products and souvenirs, and stayed at the hotel for another night.

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

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

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

  Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan walked in with large bags.

  Aunt Zhang came out to help get things, "Have you bought so many things?"

  "They are all special products. Isn't this just for the New Year? There are also some new year products, some of which we don't have in Beijing." Guo Xiang said with a smile.

  Went to the door of the room and saw Gu Xide standing by the door. The two called "Grandpa" in unison.

   "Are you back?" Gu Xide nodded.

   "Hey, grandpa, it's cold outside, come in quickly." Guo Xiang said.

   "It's okay, I'll stand for a while." Gu Xide smiled, and he was happy to see his grandson's relationship being so kind.

  "Have you eaten yet? I made dumplings today. 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 of them returned to the room after washing.

   "Ah, I'm finally back!" Guo Xiang rushed to bed.

  Gu Zhennan laughed, and found that the daughter-in-law likes this action very much, very cute, like a small animal.

   "Get up!" Gu Zhennan patted his wife's ass.

   "What's wrong?" Guo Xiang stood up dumbfounded, thinking that something was going on.

   "Wait for me to lie down..." Gu Zhennan lay down on the bed, and said to Guo Xiang with his head sideways: "Do the same action just now!"

   "..." Guo Xiang.

  Husband's level of playing hooligans is getting higher and higher now.

   "What's the matter?" Gu Zhennan looked up at her, why didn't he jump over?

   "Go..." Guo Xiang laughed and scolded, pulling on the quilt and burying Gu Zhennan, holding on to him, and grinning.

  The two had a fuss on the bed for a while, and then rolled into the bed.

  The two woke up at more than nine o'clock the next day, and saw Aunt Zhang doing sanitation during breakfast.

   "Aunt Zhang, do you want to clean up today? I'll help you later!" Guo Xiang said.

   "Okay!" Zhang Shen smiled, "Today is the twenty-fourth year, and it is the day to sweep the dust and sacrifice the stove."

  "Today is twenty-four years? Then, yesterday was Xiaonian?" Guo Xiang said, "We forgot all about it. We spent a little year outside."

  No wonder Aunt Zhang made so many dumplings yesterday, and she will eat dumplings in the new year.

   "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you have a small year, just spend the new year together." Aunt Zhang smiled.

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

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

  Laba congee, a few days later, it will be twenty-three miles away.

   Twenty-three, sugar guar sticky; Twenty-four, house cleaning day;

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

   Twenty-seven, slaughter the cock;..."

   "Twenty-eight, send the noodles..." Aunt Zhang smiled and then patted her forehead, "Yes, I also made Laba garlic. Would you like to try it?"

   "Okay, I haven't eaten it in many years." Guo Xiang smiled.

  Aunt Zhang took out a transparent glass bottle with green laba garlic in it from the kitchen cupboard.

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

  The main reason is that he left home early. In the first few years before he ran away, his mother was depressed and did not have a good Chinese New Year. Later, his father took Cheng Juan and did not treat him as a son, so he had no impression of the Chinese New Year in Beijing.

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

   Bring two pairs of chopsticks and a small butterfly, and put a few cloves of garlic out, "Try it!"

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

  He nodded, and suddenly missed Wang Guiying’s chopped chili, which also contains garlic. The salty, spicy and spicy food is the most delicious.

  The difference in diet between North and South is quite big.

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

  Aunt Zhang smiled happily. People who cook food especially like others to praise their own cooking.

  "Laba garlic is best for dumplings. I forgot to take it out yesterday." Aunt Zhang said.

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

   "Zhennan, shall we help Aunt Zhang with sanitation?" Guo Xiang said.

   "Okay!" Gu Zhennan nodded. Although Aunt Zhang is just a nanny, she has taken care of Gu Xide for many years and has been responsible for her duties, so they regard her as an elder, and now they have time to help naturally.

  Gu Xide walked out of the room. He felt very boring in the room alone. He thought of it when he heard the excitement outside.

  Aunt Zhang naturally understood his thoughts, took a brazier under the table, and covered him with a thick blanket so that he could watch everyone doing things in the hall without having to stay alone in the room.

  Guo Xiang is very grateful to Aunt Zhang for being so careful.

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

  It was cold, and Aunt Zhang burned hot water, so her hands would not be so cold.

   After all this morning, I ate dumplings again at noon. In the afternoon, Aunt Zhang said to sacrifice the stove. Although gas stoves are used now, she said that traditions cannot be lost.

  I posted a statue of the kitchen **** in the kitchen, and also placed Kanto candy and water.

  Then I posted the newly bought New Year pictures in the lobby and asked Gu Zhennan to take the door **** and stick it on the door.

   took another roll of red paper and said to cut window grilles.

  This is generally not available in the South. Guo Xiang finds it fun and asks Aunt Zhang to teach herself to cut window grilles.

  Aunt Zhang’s hands are very clever, no need to draw, the scissors in her hand turn around, and finally spread out, it is a pair of magpies.

   "Aunt Zhang is amazing!" Guo Xiang exclaimed.

   "No, when I lived in the Politics and Law Compound before, the neighbors would come to ask Aunt Zhang for window grilles every New Year, and this year they have no place to go." Gu Xide smiled.

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

   "Okay, it's actually not that difficult, look at me!" Aunt Zhang took out a cut red paper and folded it, and Guo Xiang followed her in the same way.

   "Then cut a knife here first, and then do this..." Aunt Zhang said, and Guo Xiang followed.

  The last time it was unfolded, although Guo Xiang’s was not as beautiful as Aunt Zhang’s cut, the pattern can probably be seen, which is pretty good.

   "Little Guo is really smart, just learn it!" Aunt Zhang was very satisfied.

  Guo Xiangxiao, maybe because he always has scalpels and scissors, so the cuts are not bad? But letting her wear a sweater or something is really handicapped.

  Gu Zhennan looked at her with a smile on her eyebrows. His wife is smart, and no one can match it.

  "Put this on the window of our room?" Guo Xiang gave Gu Zhennan the window grilles he had cut. Although the cuts were not so even, it was his first work anyway, and it was worth keeping.

  Hardly these will not be posted anymore for future generations to live in villas.

   "Okay!" Gu Zhennan nodded happily, no matter how ugly the daughter-in-law cuts.
