C8 December 24 Sweeping the Roof of the Shed

Twenty-four sweep the roof. This meant that on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household would have to clean the roof of the house properly, representing the removal of the old and welcoming the new. If they were rich, they would also throw away some things that they did not want. As for Lin Miaoting's family, forget about losing them, it would be good if they did not go back to pick them up!

Because Lin Miaoting's family was relatively small after the separation, it was very convenient to clean the two houses in the kitchen and inside the house.

Tang Xuemei boiled a large pot of boiling water to wipe things. Lin Kaishan tied the tattered cloth to the broom so that he could finish his meal and sweep the dust off the roof.

After breakfast, Lin Miaoting and her family went to clean up the house. In less than two hours, they cleaned up the house inside and outside.

"If it turns out to be like this, I don't know how long it will take to clean up the house!" Lin Zhize leaned on the brick bed and leaned against the wall. "In the past, at this time, my uncle and his family will not see anyone. "The entire Lin family was taken care of by my mother alone. Every time, it will be packed until very late, and then we have to cook for them. "

Tang Xuemei and Lin Kaishan did not say anything but heard Lin Zhize complaining alone.

Lin Miaoting heard it from Lin Miaoting's intermittent complaints. Before they split up, Lin Miaoting and her family had to clean up the Lin family's hygiene. Boss Lin's family did not extend a hand and only appeared at home when it was time for dinner. No one knew where they went previously. The two elders of Lin family didn't say anything about this matter. They acted as if they had acquiesced. It was Lin Kaishan's fault for being so easy to bully. If it wasn't for his daughter almost losing her life this time, Lin Kaishan wouldn't have moved out even if he died.

Lin Miaoting complained in her heart. The rest of the people of Lin family must stay far away from them. She absolutely couldn't ignore such a high quality family. Using the words in those transmigration novels to describe them, they were a group of leeches that sucked blood and cherished it when they were away.

"Brother, don't worry. Our family will definitely get better and better!" Lin Miaoting vowed.

"Mom, what are we going to do in the afternoon?" Lin Miaoting looked at Tang Xuemei who was sewing by the side and asked.

"What else do we need to do?"

This could be blamed on Lin Miaoting for asking, because in modern times, many people had already forgotten how to pass the year. Not to mention the twenty-fourth sweep.

Due to the air pollution, the number of people shooting firecrackers was also very few. Apart from the annual Spring Festival Gala, Otherwise, it was really hard to tell. It was a new year or a normal day, and no one remembered the twenty-four.

"I don't have much work in the afternoon. Why don't I go up the mountain and try my luck? Maybe I can get some prey!" Lin Kaishan replied.

"Sure. I hope today's luck is as good as the day before yesterday." Tang Xuemei replied with hope. After all, they had just moved out and did not have any money left. Moreover, they still owed Dr Lin's family fees in the village.

After the discussion, Lin Kaishan brought Lin Zhize to prepare for the hunting in the afternoon. Tang Xuemei made a few large biscuits for the father and son pair to bring along. When they were hungry, they would find a place to eat in the mountains.

"Daddy, big brother. You guys can bring Keer along as well."

"Sister, the mountain is dangerous. Go home quickly." Lin Zhize looked at the girl who was asking questions and tried to persuade her patiently.

"If daddy and brother can't protect you when you run into something big, you can stay at home with mom. When your brother comes back, ask him to bring you that plum blossom." Lin Kaishan also tried to persuade him.

"No, I want to go. Yesterday, I was in the restaurant when I heard from the delivery men that they were digging a trap. I wanted to try it out. " Daddy, can you do it? Can you just let me go? " Lin Miaoting tugged at Lin Kaishan's clothes. There was a pleading look in her eyes, and her small mouth was slightly curled up to show off her master's dissatisfaction.

Seeing such a daughter, Lin Kaishan finally softened his attitude.

"Alright then, let's go dig a few too. But you have to listen to daddy's words and not run around. Otherwise, you are not allowed to go up the mountain in the future!" Lin Kaishan's tone was slightly threatening, but he also agreed that his daughter would follow him up the mountain.

Lin Kaishan and Lin Zhize held tools while Lin Miaoting carried a basket backpack that her father made for him. The father and son duo walked up the mountain.

The mountain Lin Miaoting and the others were going to was called Mountain Mang. Its name was said to come from someone who had walked deep into the mountains. It was covered in white fog. Anyone who went in would lose their way and eventually stay in the mountains. Even if they came out, they would lose their consciousness and eventually become a fool. In the end, it was called Mountain Mang because of the white mist. On the other hand, it was also a warning to people not to go in because of the white mist.

However, no one could tell whether this was true or not.

Lin Miaoting listened to her brother as she walked and told her about the origin of the Mountain Mang. However, she had the urge to find out the truth in her heart!

The three consecutive days of snow made the mountain road white. He could not see the road ahead. Due to the sunlight reflecting off the light, it was still somewhat dazzling. Lin Miaoting and the others could only rely on their senses to slowly move forward.

Lin Miaoting used the dagger she carried with her to draw a large triangular mark on a tree with every step she took. This proved that she had been here before and it was also convenient for her to explore alone in the future.

The father and son of Lin family walked in front of Lin Miaoting. They drove the road while using the tools they brought to knock on the surrounding trees or poke the withered grass around them. They made a loud noise so that they could disturb the animals in the mountains and make it easier for them to escape and capture them.

After Lin Kaishan and Lin Zhize's tireless efforts, they finally heard the sound of rushing and gurgling.

"Gugugu, gugu..."

"It's a wild chicken." Lin Zhize excitedly called out. At the same time, he took out the slingshot that he had prepared earlier and prepared to shoot the chicken.

Two wild chickens flew out of the forest not far from them. The one in front was very beautiful, but the one behind was a little ugly.

"It's still a pair! Quickly pull the slingshot!" Lin Kaishan saw the pheasants flying out and hurriedly ordered.

Stones were shot out one after another, but they did not even touch the feathers of the pheasant. Seeing the pheasant fly away, the father and son of Lin family could not help feeling a little disappointed.

"This mountain is full of thieves, it's not easy to catch them. Daddy and Big Brother are both very good." Listening to Lin Miaoting's words, the father and son of Lin family's mood recovered a little.

Didn't Keer say that she wanted to dig a trap? The sky is about to turn dark. Father, let's find a similar place to dig a trap. Maybe we'll have prey tomorrow!" Lin Zhize's mood changed quickly.

"How are we going to dig it out, sister?"
