Not long afterwards, Li Han and Xia Xiaoyu drove to Chuyun Town to pick up Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue.

Two people will take a taxi and go directly to Izumo Town.

Li Han and Xia Xiaoyu had just arrived in Izumo Town, and Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue had also arrived.

Xia Xiaoyu happily greeted her.

Li Han took the things held by the two people and put them in the car.

The two of them bought gifts for Xia Xiaoyu's grandparents.

Afterwards, the four people got on the bus.

On the way, Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue naturally mentioned that Li Han wrote Spring Festival couplets to people in Tuiyun Town yesterday.

Both of them asked Li Han to write a couplet for them.

Li Han naturally agreed.

Soon, I arrived at Xia Xiaoyu's house.

Xia Guoshu and Xia Xiaoyu's grandmother were naturally very happy. Then they said that the two of them were willing to come, so they were very happy and should not bring so many gifts.

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue both said that the gift was not heavy, just a little bit of thought.

Afterwards, Li Han, Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue all went to the kitchen to help prepare the lunch for today.

The meals for noon today will be quite sumptuous.

On the wall on the east side of the kitchen, there is a shrine with a width of about 30 cm and a height of about 50 cm, and there is a statue of a god in the niche.

There is also a couplet on both sides of the shrine.

"God says good things, and return to the house and bring good luck."

Su Yuqing looked at the shrine and said, "That's the Kitchen God, right? The statue enshrined inside should be the Kitchen God, right?"

Li Han was a little surprised that Su Yuqing actually knew about this.

Su Yuqing rolled her eyes and said, "Is there any other god in the kitchen, besides the statue of the Kitchen God, who is the Kitchen God?"

OK, it does seem to make sense.

Su Yuqing said again: "I also know that there is a custom of sending the Kitchen God to heaven today."

"Oh?" Li Han smiled, "Have you seen it before?"

Su Yuqing shook her head and said, "I have never seen this before."

Qin Xiaoyue also said, "I have never seen it before."

Li Han said: "Then you have good luck today. We will send the Kitchen God to heaven later."

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue both had their eyes lit up. Does Xia Xiaoyu's family still have such a custom? This can open your eyes.

The ceremony of sending the Kitchen God to heaven is usually held at dusk and night.

But now there are not so many things to pay attention to. It is OK now at any time, as long as it is within today.

So, it was almost noon that the ceremony to send the Kitchen God to heaven began.

The ceremony also has a name called "Sending the Stove".

In the past, the stove delivery ceremony was very strong.

In addition to the most basic incense, you also need to sing the song of the Kitchen Lord, dance the dance of the Kitchen Lord, etc. It is very grand and lively.

It has been completely simplified now, and it is basically just a matter of incense.

Although simplified, it is better than forgotten.

In front of the Kitchen King's Kiln, Xia Guoshu placed the things that had been prepared long ago.

Paper horses made of bamboo strips, forage for feeding animals, and candies.

Then lit a pair of red candles, three incense sticks, and put them in.

Xia Guoshu faced the statue of the Kitchen King Kan and bowed three respectfully.

Li Han, Xia Xiaoyu, Su Yuqing, Qin Xiaoyue and others also bowed three respectfully.

There is also a portrait of the Kitchen God directly above the Kitchen God statue.

Xia Guoshu applied some sugar on the mouth of the portrait of the Kitchen God, and then took off the portrait of the Kitchen God.

Why do you need to apply candy on the mouth of the portrait of the Kitchen God?

That is to hope that after the Kitchen God has arrived at heaven, he can give his family a few good words and say something good to him in front of the Jade Emperor.

It is exactly what the couplets on both sides say, "God says good things, and return to the house and bring good luck."

Afterwards, Xia Guoshu began to ignite the burning paper she had prepared before, and then placed the portrait of the Kitchen God on the burning paper, allowing the fire to slowly burn it out.

Then he muttered something, saying that after you go to heaven, you must say more kind words in front of the Jade Emperor.

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue looked quite novel and thought it was very interesting.

After the portrait of the Kitchen God is burned out, the entire stove delivery ceremony will be over.

Next, you only need to wait until New Year's Eve to invite the Kitchen God back again.

"What do you think? Our traditional customs are very interesting, right?" Li Han said to Su Yuqing, Qin Xiaoyue and the others.

Both of them said it was indeed very interesting, and such traditional customs should be passed down all the time.

Li Han sighed and said, "I hope I can pass on it forever."

Next, it's time to have lunch.

There was already a table full of delicious food on the table.

After the guests and hosts sat down separately, Xia Guoshu sighed and said that the family had been having the Chinese New Year for many years and had not been so lively.

Li Han smiled and said, if possible, everyone will celebrate the New Year together in the future, either spending here or going to Yuanxi Village.

Xia Guoshu repeatedly said yes, and he looked quite excited.

Then, take out two wine glasses and make sure to drink two glasses with Li Han.

Of course, Li Han did not refuse and accompanied Xia Guoshu to have two glasses of wine.

...

In the evening.

After having supper at Xia Xiaoyu's house again, Li Han, Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue said goodbye and left.

Xia Xiaoyu was very reluctant to leave, but she knew that Li Han, Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue were going home for the New Year, so she did not try to keep the three of them and play for another day.

Li Han drank wine, so Su Yuqing drove.

It’s already nine o’clock in the evening when I returned to the place where Su Yuqing lives, so it’s not too late.

Li Han walked into the study and said that after these two days of thinking, the work of Guo Xuewen, director of the National Basic Education Department, has been finally confirmed and he is going to write it out now.

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue both had their eyes lit up, so they naturally remembered such a work.

Is Li Han finally going to start creating now? It’s worth looking forward to!

Su Yuqing said: "You go and create, we won't disturb you. Can you write the opening part today? I'll show it to us later."

Li Han smiled and said, "It's not just the opening part, I will write the whole work together soon. A few minutes will be enough."

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue were both very surprised. They could complete the entire work in just a few minutes?

What kind of work is this? It's too exaggerated to complete it in a few minutes?

Li Han said: "It's no exaggeration. Because my work has only more than 1,100 words in total, it will naturally only take a few minutes."

I see.

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue nodded. There were only more than 1,100 words in total, which should be a fairy tale.

Fairy tales are pretty good.

It is just a New Year gift for young people across the country, and it is just a short fairy tale with more than 1,100 words. Isn’t it a little too shabby?

Would it be better to use a medium-length fairy tale?

Li Han shook his head and said, "It's not a fairy tale. Don't worry, although this work only has more than 1,100 words, it will definitely not be shabby."

"Is that so? What kind of work is that?" Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue couldn't help but be very confused and curious.
