Chapter 87
After getting up early in the morning to prepare the food for the family, Lin Liangchen prepared to clean the dust. Because it was a custom, it was naturally not sloppy. After breakfast, Lin Liangchen and Xu Han were busy cleaning the house thoroughly.
The new house is big, and there are naturally many places to be cleaned. The old fifth uncle, who has always been used to being idle, also took the initiative to help. Lin Tianlei saw that everyone in the family was busy, and he didn't want to be idle. He also asked Lin Liangchen to help clean the house.
Lin Liangchen laughed after hearing this: "This cleaning is about me, your father, and your fifth grandfather, so Xiaolei is watching from the side, isn't it?"
Lin Tianlei shook his head, "No, I'm going to help." He looked like a little adult.
Lin Liangchen sighed, "Xiao Lei, you are too young to do this."
Seeing Lin Tianlei's stern face, looking like he was about to cry, Lin Liangchen said helplessly, "Okay, mother promised you, but..."
"But what?" Lin Tianlei's eyes were bright and expectant.
He couldn't say what he said, and after thinking about it, he said, "If Xiaolei really wants to clean, um, then the cleaning of your small table and books will be handed over to you."
After hearing this, Lin Tianlei became unhappy, "What, mother, I want to help, not this."
Lin Liangchen thought it was funny, and asked back: "But if Xiaolei can't even do his own thing well, how can mother let Xiaolei work?"
Lin Tianlei was choked for a long time by the question, but he didn't say anything anymore, and said in a muffled voice, "Mother, I know."
He patted his son on the shoulder and instructed him to do his own thing well, not to touch the cold water secretly, and to devote himself to cleaning the house. Dust sweeping, as the name suggests, is to clean the house thoroughly on the day of the new year, to remove the custom of dust sweeping, and to sacrifice the stove and paste the window grilles. Of course, the window grilles were cut by Lin Liangchen himself.
remove these. The candy to eat still has to be prepared. After cleaning the house thoroughly, Lin Liangchen prepared all kinds of things for sacrifice to the stove. Because there is a saying that men do not worship the moon and women do not sacrifice to the stove, after making preparations for the sacrifice, Lin Liangchen said two words. Don't say it, go straight to the kitchen to make food.
There are no other customs in Dahe Village on what to eat on the day of the small year. But for the Stove Festival. Lin Liangchen decided to eat dumplings. It means to see off the windward side of dumplings, and they are fiddling with the fillings for dumplings. Fang Xu Han, the old fifth uncle, and Lin Tianlei have already finished offering sacrifices to the stove.
Seeing that Lin Liangchen is mixing noodles and fiddling with fillings. It was to smash the meat on the chopping board again. The old fifth uncle and Xu Han felt that it was rare, and even asked Lin Liangchen what he wanted to do.
Lin Liangchen smiled and said, "Of course I'm making dumplings. I've been tired all day, so it's best to eat dumplings."
In fact, after a busy day, Lin Liangchen was so tired that he didn't want to move. He clearly agreed with Xu Han to have a good new year, but he didn't expect that once these things were done, it was already afternoon. It's so late, Lin Liangchen naturally has no intention to make big fish and meat.
Besides, everyone in the family was tired all day, and Lin Liangchen also wanted to make more dumplings, so he went to bed earlier.
Lin Liangchen's thoughts and thoughts were unknown to Xu Han and the fifth uncle. I saw the old fifth uncle laughed and said: "It's good to eat dumplings, I haven't eaten at this age."
Xu Han complained and glanced at the fifth uncle, "Who told you to come back without marrying a daughter-in-law."
"I also want to marry, but no one cares about me. Now that I have a good time, I can eat whatever I want in the future."
"Uncle Fifth will make fun of me."
"Haha, why am I joking, what I said is the truth." The old fifth uncle was triumphant, Xu Han sighed secretly, if the old fifth uncle married a wife earlier, maybe it is not the current situation, but think about it from another angle , If the old fifth uncle really married a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that he would not be as happy as he is now.
After laughing for a while, Lin Liangchen said, "Don't watch, you guys, come and make dumplings with me, Xiaolei, you too."
Lin Liangchen all spoke up, and Xu Han and the others naturally responded. After washing their hands, they rolled up their sleeves and came to help one by one. Saying it was helping, it would be more realistic to say, "Let's go to the competition to see who packs the most."
Then he added, "If the package is bad or too ugly, you have to eat it all by yourself."
The old fifth uncle laughed, "That's good."
"Just listen to my daughter-in-law."
"mother."
Seeing Lin Tianlei calling her, Lin Liangchen smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Tianlei twitched for a while, then said, "Mother, what you just said was unfair to me..."
"what?"
In a daze, Lin Tianlei spoke out about the unfairness. The reason was that Lin Tianlei was afraid that he would not be able to finish his own dumplings because he was too small. Lin Liangchen smiled, "This is it?"
Taking a look at the old fifth uncle and Xu Han, Lin Liangchen said, "What if Xiao Lei can't finish it and let the second worst person in the bag eat it?"
Lin Tianlei clapped his hands, "Mother is the best."
Xu Han and the old fifth uncle agreed on the side, but they didn't pay attention to it secretly, thinking that Lin Tianlei would not be able to make many dumplings as a child, but the final result was that both of them underestimated Lin Tianlei's seriousness and punished him. In the end, both of them were exhausted.
The ones made by themselves, together with those made by Lin Tianlei, and those made by Lin Liangchen, no matter how big their stomachs were, they couldn't eat that much.
Looking at Xu Han and the fifth uncle who kept rubbing his stomach, Lin Liangchen snickered, touched Lin Tianlei's head and sighed, "Who told you not to be serious during the competition."
When Lin Liangchen said this, Xu Han's ears turned red, and he retorted: "How can you not be serious."
"That's right, we let Xiaolei because he was young." The old fifth uncle shamelessly found himself to go down the steps, Lin Tianlei covered his mouth and pointed at the two of them: "Father and fifth grandpa lied..."
"Whoever lied, it was."
The last one is a word, which betrays the real thoughts of the old fifth uncle.
Because of this issue, several people argued for a long time. Of course, it was also lively for a long time. Laughter continued to come from the kitchen. If there were people living nearby, I was afraid that they could hear their laughter from far away. Voice.
In the end, Lin Liangchen didn't ask about it in detail. After eating the dumplings, Lin Liangchen took out the caramel, maltose and potstickers that he had eaten on the day of the cooking stove, and the family continued to sit together and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Xu Han and the fifth uncle refused to eat sugar. Lin Tianlei put it in their mouths. The two refused, and the fifth uncle immediately said, "What kind of candy does a big man eat."
The speaker had no intention, and Lin Tianlei, who was listening, spit out the candy in his mouth. At this time, the old fifth uncle also realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly explained to Lin Tianlei, "Well, Xiaolei, the fifth grandpa is not talking about you. Ah, don't be angry..."
"Is the fifth grandpa saying that Xiaolei is not a man?" Lin Tianlei didn't listen to anything else, he just remembered the man.
The old fifth uncle blushed and said resolutely, "I don't."
Lin Tianlei's eyes were filled with mist, "But, what kind of candy did the fifth grandpa just say that big men eat?"
Doesn't this indirectly mean that he is not a man?
The old fifth uncle was speechless when asked, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and muttered in his heart, this kid is too smart. Lin Liangchen and Xu Han laughed aside, and both gave the old fifth uncle a helpless expression. The old fifth uncle secretly complained and scolded Xu Han's family as black-bellied foxes and deliberately tricked him.
After scolding, he went to explain to Lin Tianlei what he just said with a smile. In a word, in a word, after going through some twists and turns, the old fifth uncle finally explained it clearly.
My heart is full of snot and tears. Is it easy for him at this age, but it is undeniable that the old fifth uncle does feel the happiness that he has never had before.
Before going to bed, the old fifth uncle was still a little reluctant to give up, and finally had such a lively opportunity, and the day ended like this.
After picking up the candy on the table, Uncle Fang asked Lin Tianlei to go back to the house to sleep. Even if he was really reluctant, Uncle Fifth didn't show it. Lin Tianlei still looked happy, and he asked Lin Liangchen to give it to him. He washed his face and hands, and went back to the house with the fifth uncle to sleep.
As soon as the old fifth uncle and Lin Tianlei left, Lin Liangchen and Xu Han looked at each other and smiled. After cleaning up, they also returned to the house.
After the new year, the real New Year is not far away. The village is full of joy, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of children's frolic, making people feel happy.
The old fifth uncle, who had nothing to do in his spare time, took Lin Tianlei to hang out in the village. Since he moved, he seldom came out to visit, so that this visit was not surprising, no one thought that the old fifth uncle was there During the Chinese New Year, I brought Lin Tianlei to the door.
Of course, it was inevitable that there would be another inquiry and joking.
"Just envy me, old man, I have a good life." When the old fifth uncle was happy, there was still a hint of redness on his face.
When the old fifth uncle said this, there were really many people who noticed that he was different from before.
Some people are curious, "Did the old fifth uncle eat something good recently?"
"What good thing? It's not like normal, just eat it like that." If he had ulterior motives for that person, the old fifth uncle wouldn't really say anything.
If you say it badly, it will make people have other ideas. What's worse, it will also make people misunderstand. After getting along with Lin Liangchen's family for so many days, the old fifth uncle is already very old. conscious.
Just like the woman who asked this question, the old fifth uncle decided to answer with others. The older the fifth uncle did not want to say anything, the more people felt that Lin Liangchen and Xu Han were very good to him, otherwise the old fifth uncle would also Will not be raised so rosy. They must have eaten a lot of good things, such as ginseng bird's nest, when they didn't know it.
The old fifth uncle didn't know, he went out to visit the door this time, obviously didn't say anything, but caused a lot of trouble, Xu Chao, who was a little grumpy with the old fifth uncle, heard about the village's After the gossip, he decisively came to the door to question.
Of course, the reason why Xu Chao came, naturally, was the provocation behind Han's back. As soon as Xu Chao was provoked, he lost his mind and came to the door in a hurry.

The first!
