When it comes to the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year celebrations begin.

Compared with last year, the streets of Beijing are more lively this year.

After a year of efforts by the Military Control Commission, the organization cleaned up the entire city.

The streets and alleys in the city have become clean and tidy, and the ancient buildings have been renewed and look more quaint.

He Yuzhu returned home carrying the supplies he had bought for the Kitchen God worship.

He placed the Kitchen God statue and candy wrapper on the table and shouted to He Daqing, "Dad, I bought the things."

He Daqing walked over and took the Kitchen God statue in one hand: "What are you buying, you little brat! You should ask for the Kitchen God!"

He Yuzhu looked at him carefully holding the colorful statue of the Kitchen God and didn't take it seriously. I don't believe this.

Just treat it as a custom and culture, there is no need to argue with He Daqing about its superiority.

"Okay! Go to the kitchen and buy some candy yourself! Have you bought enough candy?"

"It's enough to last until February!" He Daqing glanced at the paper bag on the table and went out to the kitchen to put up the image of the Kitchen God.

He Yuzhu asked Yu Shui who was standing in front of the table, "Yu Shui, do you think we bought enough?"

Yu Shui nodded wildly upon hearing this: "Brother, that's enough!"

"Haha! Come, let's taste it first!" He Yuzhu said as he opened the paper bag and tasted the candies with Yu Shui.

This time he went to the pastry shop and bought one each of the three kinds of candy.

Both sugar melon and Kanto sugar are very sticky beige sugars with white frost on the surface.

The three have different appearances. The sugar melon has edges, is shaped like a pumpkin, and is the size of an egg.

Guandong sugar is in the form of strips with honeycomb-like holes, while Nan sugar is in the form of square flakes containing sesame and peanuts.

He Yuzhu looked at the two sticky candies and instantly lost the idea of ​​trying them.

He picked up the candy melon and stuffed it into Yu Shui's mouth, and took another piece of southern sugar for himself.

It tastes more delicious with sesame and peanuts.

At this time, the rain was grinning, struggling with the candy in its mouth.

She bit the candy melon anxiously, but it was so sticky that it stuck to her teeth. She was reluctant to spit it out, and her face was full of confusion.

He Yuzhu looked at the rain in front of him and laughed out loud: "Haha! Rain, put some hot water in your mouth to dissolve it."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the teapot on the table, took the cup and poured her a cup of hot water: "Drink slowly, don't get burned."

Yu Shui took the teacup and carefully took a sip of hot water into her mouth.

"Yushui, you have to be busy cleaning the house and preparing New Year's goods before the New Year. How about I take you to the Changdian Temple Fair during the Spring Festival?"

Yu Shui looked at He Yu Zhu with a happy face, nodded and said, "Uh ah ah!"

"Haha!" He Yuzhu rubbed her little head, "Then it's settled. We'll go to the temple fair together then."

After a few busy days, I cleaned the house and pasted the couplets again.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu just opened his eyes and called up the interface to check.

-----------------

During this period, because of the intensive work on drawing illustrations for comic books, my stick drawing has been upgraded to level 3.

This skill breakthrough brings about an increase in spirit value. Although it is only 0.1, the effect is still quite good.

He Yuzhu believes that he should be able to learn Chinese medicine in the new year.

It is foreseeable that the cooking skill will be upgraded by one level, and the skill upgrade will bring an increase in spirit points, thereby enhancing learning ability.

After the family finishes worshiping the Kitchen God and sends him to heaven, they start preparing for the New Year.

Sweeping the house on the 24th is not just a custom to get rid of diseases.

Moreover, there is no northern sand prevention and control project in the city today, so dust is brought in by the howling north wind.

Cleaning the house and washing things are necessary for every household.

The house should be cleaned and dusted, and the wallpaper and ceilings should be re-papered.

He Yuzhu pasted the magpie on plum blossom window decoration in his hand and returned to the living room with the paste.

He entered the living room and saw Yu Shui sitting at the table eating candy and snacks. He shouted, "Yu Shui, you have been in school for a year. Go read the couplets on the door to see how well you can read."

"Hmm~" Yu Shui hurriedly stuffed another piece of Nantang into his mouth, then left the table and walked towards the door.

Yu Shui stood in the porch, looked up at the couplet on the door and read it aloud.

"May everything go smoothly every year. May all your wishes come true. May the auspicious stars shine brightly on you!"

He Yuzhu listened to her finish reading and applauded. Yu Shui also ran in with a smile on her face.

"That's right! But you should eat less sugar, because when the delicious food comes, you can only watch!"

The dishes at home this year are better than ever. Now that Sijiu City is the new national capital, the level of material supply is much higher than before.

The high-quality beef, mutton and local specialty products produced in Inner Mongolia are all on the market.

He Yuzhu looked at the dishes on the table and smelled the aroma, and he knew that He Daqing had used all his cooking skills.

Four dishes of delicacies were placed on the table: sweet and sour carp, stir-fried beef with green onions, first-class tofu, and nine-turn large intestine.

In the middle is a plate of braised sea cucumber with scallions. The sea cucumber is a small delicacy obtained from the Lou family.

He Daqing knocked on the table and raised his glass: "This year our family has been prosperous. I hope everyone will be healthy and safe next year and reach a higher level! Cheers!"

He Yuzhu and his sister also raised their cups: "Cheers!"

Yushui happily drank the soda in the glass, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

He Yuzhu got up early on the first day of the first lunar month, pulled Yu Shui out of bed, and took her to visit every family to wish them a happy new year.

Last night, she played in the alley until very late with the firecrackers and small lanterns bought by He Yuzhu.

I was woken up early in the morning again to pay New Year's greetings. After coming back, Yu Shui sat in a chair listlessly and felt sleepy.

He Yuzhu shouted to the rain: "Rain, wake up!"

"Brother, let me take a nap for a while."

"Oh, then you go to sleep! I'll go to the temple fair by myself." After saying this, He Yuzhu stood up and pretended to walk out.

"Um~ah! I'm going, I'm going!" Yu Shui woke up instantly after hearing this, and ran over to hug her thighs and refused to let go.

"Hey, hey! Let's put on our gloves and hats and go!"

He Yuzhu got dressed and lifted the rain onto his shoulders: "Let's go! Be careful with the door frame!"

"Let's go! Hehe~"

The brother and sister called a rickshaw to go to Heping Gate. The driver stopped near Heping Gate and turned back to say to the two of them: "You two, today I can only take you here."

He Yuzhu also saw the crowd on the road and nodded: "Okay, Yushui, let's go!"
