After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Seeing her anxious look, Liu Changqing felt a little suspicious: "Is Huang Ming really missing?"

Huang nodded quickly: "Well, if the village chief doesn't believe it, you can ask the official to search the house."

Liu Changqing: "I will report this to the government office in the city, and the government officials will come to inquire. If he is really missing, Huang Ming will be declared dead in two years. At that time, everything under his name will naturally belong to Huang Yu."

Huang's palms were sweating from nervousness, but she knew it was a necessary step. She actually hoped that Huang Ming had died outside from drinking.

Liu Changqing looked at Huang's back, walked out of the courtyard, locked the gate, and walked towards the government office in the city.

There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Xiao and Aunt Xia Wanniang took their three children and began to prepare things needed for the New Year.

Xiao Zimu no longer needs to wear the black cloth strip, but he still looks like a little adult like before.

Xia Wanniang liked to tease him every time, making him blush and run away.

Aunt Xiao looked at the mother and son with a smile: "This child is just too old and heavy."

Xia Wanniang smiled as she watched Xiao Zimu and his two younger brothers holding brooms and starting to clean the main room. Their task today was to clean all the rooms in the house.

The places that were more difficult to clean were handled by Aunt Xiao and her, while the places that were easier to clean were handled by the three children.

Xiao Zilin swept the floor with a broom: "Mom, why do we have to do a thorough cleaning every year before the New Year?"

Xia Wanniang: "We need to sweep away all the bad luck and misfortune. This custom reflects people's wish to break with the old and establish the new, and to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new."

Xiao Zimu wiped the tables and chairs with a rag: "Are there many customs during the Chinese New Year?"

Xia Wanniang took a broom and swept away the spider webs on the roof: "Yes, the customs are different in every place. There is even a nursery rhyme."

Xiao Zisen immediately perked up: "Mom, what nursery rhyme?"

Xia Wanniang opened her mouth and said, "Little kid, don't be greedy. After Laba, it's New Year. Eat Laba porridge for a few days, then it's the 23rd. On the 23rd, sticky sugar melons. On the 24th, sweep the house. On the 25th, grind tofu. On the 26th, buy meat. On the 27th, kill the rooster. On the 28th, let the dough rise. On the 29th, steam buns. Stay up all night on the 30th, and walk around the streets on the first and second days of the New Year."

Aunt Xiao also stopped what she was doing and listened carefully: "The songs here are quite interesting. Just listening to them makes me feel the festive atmosphere."

Xiao Zimu blinked his big eyes: "Mom, should we do it this way?"

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "It's a little too late this year, so we'll live like this next year."

"Okay." Xiao Zimu nodded with a smile.

Although the Xiao family did not have many rooms, there were old and young people in the family, and one of them needed to make money to treat his family members, so they did not take the New Year seriously.

I haven't done a thorough cleaning for three years, and when I did the cleaning today, I found a lot of problems. Some parts of the window paper are damaged, and I need to buy some to replace them.

After working for a whole day, they finally cleaned the house.

Xia Wanniang sorted out the things in the space and at home. Now that the meat had been eaten, they needed to buy some more, and also some rice.

These things can be exchanged through the exchange space, but the quantity is too small and it is not cost-effective to trade. If you want to do business in the future, you can use them to exchange large quantities of materials.

Seeing that the light was still on in her room, Aunt Xiao walked to the door and knocked: "Mrs. Wan."

"Mom, the door is not locked." Xia Wanniang looked at the things she needed to buy on the paper.

Aunt Xiao pushed the door open and walked in, sitting next to her. She saw that she was still writing something on the paper: "You've been tired all day, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Xia Wanniang handed her the paper in her hand and said, "I'm sorting out the things I need to buy. The New Year is coming soon and I need to buy some new things for my family."

Aunt Xiao looked at the list she had compiled, with rice, flour, grain, oil, and some daily necessities carefully written down: "Your coming to this family has made you worry a lot."

Xia Wanniang took the paper with a smile: "Mom, let me show you something. Can you help me see if we can sell it if we make it and sell it."
