Chapter 256: Cleanup



Qin Anming asked Zhuangzhuang to secretly lift the curtain to observe what was going on in the kitchen, while he sat on a chair and patted his chest.

Xiao Guo was so scary just now that even he was scared to death and didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Zhuangzhuang, has your mother been so irritable recently?"

Qin Anming asked Zhuangzhuang hesitantly. In his impression, Xiaoguo should be weak, gentle and slow. Why was she suddenly so...powerful today?

"Of course not!" Zhuangzhuang was anxious to defend his mother upon hearing this, "My mother is usually very gentle and always speaks in a low voice."

At this moment, Zhuangzhuang suddenly thought of the voice of Xiaoguo calling him to wake up.

'Wake up! Wake up!'

'Strong! You can't sleep in!'

'Strong! ! ! !'

He secretly swallowed his saliva, and then the voices were slapped away, and he changed his words and said, "As long as you don't mess with mother, mother is a synonym for gentleness."

After hearing this, Qin Anming also quietly swallowed his saliva. He must listen to her obediently. He was really a little scared of the angry Xiaoguo.

"Uncle, mother is coming out with the paste."

Just when Qin Anming was distracted, Zhuangzhuang's nervous little voice pulled him back to his senses. He subconsciously picked up the couplet on the table, but he didn't know what he was doing, he just picked up the couplet.

As soon as Xiaoguo entered the room, he saw Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang had already picked up the couplets, looking ready.

A look of satisfaction on his face, just in case, she didn't have to call out, "Go put up the couplets."

Xiaoguo walked in front holding the paste, while Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang followed behind holding the couplets and carrying stools.

She had originally planned to put up the couplets in two days, but she didn't expect that other families in the village had already put up the couplets, so she just followed suit and didn't want to do anything special.

Qin Anming stood on a stool while Xiaoguo used a broom to sweep the dust off the door. Although there was not much, the paste could stick more firmly after sweeping it.

Put down the broom and hand the paste to Qin Anming.

Qin Anming took the paste, scooped a lot of it from the bowl and brushed it on the door, making it about the same size as the couplet. Then he handed the paste to Xiaoguo, took the couplet from Zhuangzhuang's hand, aligned the paste, and pasted it on tightly.

"How is it, crooked?"

Xiaoguo stood a little further away and saw that it was about right. "It's not crooked, it's OK."

After hearing Xiaoguo's answer, Qin Anming pasted the couplet tightly, smoothing it from top to bottom, and then started to paste the other side, following the same operation.

Xiaoguo continued to stand at the back and act as a spirit level. Every time Qin Anming placed something, he would ask Xiaoguo if it was correct. Only after getting her confirmation would he put it firmly in place.

Qin Anming pasted the horizontal banner, then jumped down from the stool and walked to Xiaoguo's side. Zhuangzhuang followed closely behind him. The three of them looked at the freshly pasted couplet together, unable to hide their joy in their eyes.

Once the couplets are posted, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is here.

"Continue to paste the word 'Fu'."

"good."

The three of them walked inside together and pasted the word "Fu" on the windows inside the house but not on the door.

-

There are two days left until New Year’s Eve.

After getting up early in the morning, Xiaoguo started to make breakfast. Today's task was arduous, so she planned to clean the house all day and thoroughly clean the house and the yard. Please note, it was a thorough cleaning.

Therefore, Zhuangzhuang, who wanted to stay in bed, and Qin Anming, who had already gotten up but was still very lazy in her eyes, all joined in the cleaning.

"I say, people have to eat when cleaning up."

Qin Anming sat on a chair, looking at the hot food, and then glanced at Xiaoguo, who was full of fighting spirit and fully armed.

Although Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything, he rubbed his eyes and nodded silently in agreement.

Xiaoguo's enthusiasm was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water. His shoulders slumped, his mouth pursed, he looked at them, and sat back in his seat helplessly.

"All right."

Having said that, he took the lead in eating.

The reason why she was so excited was that this was her first Spring Festival in ancient times!

If you count it, the last time I celebrated the Spring Festival was four years ago. In the three years of the end of the world, I had no time or mood to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The long-awaited Spring Festival has finally arrived. She must have a lively time this year and cook a table full of delicious food to make up for her previous regrets.

"Ok! Let's get started!"

Xiaoguo took the lead and rushed to the inner room with a rag.

Zhuangzhuang and Qin Anming were so frightened by her strength that they stood there in a daze, looking at each other, puzzled.

What does oh ke mean?

While the two were still thinking about what Oh Ke meant, Xiao Guo had already finished wiping a table. Turning back, he found that the two had not moved yet, so he said unhappily, "Why don't you hurry up?"

"Oh oh, here it comes!"

The two of them rushed to work, although they didn't understand the specific meaning of "oh ke", but it should be similar to "hurry up and do it".

They understand!

Zhuangzhuang was wiping the table conscientiously, and Qin Anming was also wiping the table legs conscientiously.

"Two people wiping one table?"

After saying that, Zhuangzhuang, who had good eyesight, went to wipe the chair next to him. The two of them didn't say anything and looked like they were very busy.

Xiaoguo couldn't help but laugh. The two of them were quite funny. Haha.

Soon, the three of them had wiped all the furniture in the three rooms, and even the corners that had not been wiped for years looked brand new.

Xiaoguo put down the rag, stood in the middle, looked left and right with satisfaction, then clapped his hands and said energetically, "Let's start the next place, the kitchen!"

"Mom, it's time for lunch."

Zhuangzhuang leaned on Qin Anming, who was also very tired, and spoke dejectedly.

"Nonsense, it's too early."

After saying that, Xiao Guo sighed and went to the kitchen alone. She knew that men were unreliable, and the same was true for little boys.

Qin Anming held Zhuangzhuang and sat up straight, took a quick look at the kitchen, and then whispered to Zhuangzhuang, "Take a rest first. Your uncle will help you attract your mother's attention. Just take a good rest."

After saying that, he patted his big belly. The two brothers blinked in agreement and then ran to the kitchen with their old arms and legs.

Zhuangzhuang looked at the receding figure with admiration, and couldn't help thinking, "Could this be the prince my mother was talking about~"

She lay back comfortably, leaning against the back of the chair. Since the prince had gone to fight, she would accept his kindness and be a good princess who took a rest.

Here, Qin Anming glanced at the hard-working figure, then slowed down his movements and quietly floated to the stove. Just as he was about to squat and prepare to clean the dust inside, he was stopped by Xiaoguo.

"elder brother."

"ah?"

Qin Anming was suddenly startled and looked at her in confusion.

"Haha, it's okay." Xiaoguo smiled embarrassedly.

"?" Qin Anming looked at her in confusion. She obviously looked like something was wrong.

After Xiaoguo finished speaking, he turned around and continued to work on his task, wiping left and right with a rag, but his mind was not focused.

Qin Anming saw that she was not going to say anything, so he did not ask any further. He was confused, but he was not going to force her to answer.

After a long while, Xiaoguo slowed down her movements, turned her back to him, and asked as if casually.

"Brother, do you still remember what your parents look like?"

"Of course." Qin Anming nodded vigorously. How could he forget what his parents looked like?

"That……"

Before she could hear the next sentence, Qin Anming came over, squatted beside her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"..." After a while, Xiao Guo shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's okay."
