Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Pre-New Year Big Cleanup
Didn’t we agree before to have Shanshan join us for the New Year? But now that girl who knows what she’s up to, says she will only co on Chinese New Year’s Eve.
Ever since the company holiday on the twenty-fifth of the lunar month, Ye Xinluo had called Lan Shan a few tis, saying she had no one to cook at ho, inviting her to co over...
But each ti she was turned down, and finally, Ye Xinluo had no choice but to personally drag her over from the Lan Mansion on the twenty-eighth.
Ye Xinluo still rembers the scene when she went to the Lan Mansion, finding Lan Shan curled up on the sofa with a cup of instant noodles watching TV!
The person who was forcibly pulled away looked woefully at the big mansion in front of her, wanting to say sothing, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to speak...
With an uneasy feeling, she stayed there for a day and saw that Beichen Rui didn’t seem to care much about her presence, and she finally relaxed.
The next morning, Beichen Rui went out with Jingxi, and Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan had a simple breakfast before starting the big house cleaning...
Every year from the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month until Chinese New Year’s Eve, this period is called "Welcoming Spring Days," also known as "Cleaning Days."
Because "dust" sounds like "old" in Chinese, spring cleaning has the aning of "sweeping away the old" to usher in the new, intending to leave behind all "bad luck" and "misfortune."
In so places, the big cleaning starts on the twenty-third, but here it was scheduled for the twenty-ninth.
Their task today was to clean the mansion thoroughly. The mansion usually had cleaners, so they only needed to clean the few rooms they lived in daily, as well as the living room and study...
Once they put the clothes in the washing machine, they began the grand cleaning of the house.
The two divided the work clearly, with Ye Xinluo responsible for the second floor and Lan Shan taking care of the first floor.
Fortunately, there were cleaners before, so there wasn’t much to do, just so window cleaning and such!
It sounded easy, but doing it was not that simple. The mansion’s windows were all floor-to-ceiling, making it a massive project.
By the ti they finished wiping all the windows, it was already twelve-thirty in the afternoon.
Sitting on the sofa, after the big cleaning, the two were exhausted to the point of not wanting to talk...
Looking at the clean house, their moods improved noticeably. At that mont, they heard the sound of a car from the courtyard, and they stepped outside to see Beichen Rui getting out of the car with Jingxi in arms, the little one holding several things.
So paper for cutting window flowers... fortune dolls... all in all, just a huge pile!!
Beichen Rui took out several large fireworks from the trunk and then grabbed a bunch of sparklers.
Seeing what he was holding, her eyebrow twitched, this guy was how old this year... could he still be into these things!
Noticing her gaze, as if he understood what she was thinking, he said, "These are for the little one..."
Upon hearing his words, Ye Xinluo finally understood she had overthought.
The little one tugged at Ye Xinluo, then tugged at Lan Shan, and said, "Mommy, godmother, let’s go inside and cut window flowers!"
The three of them went inside, found so tools, and sat by the table to start working.
Lan Shan had never done this before, holding a pair of scissors not knowing where to start.
Seeing this, Ye Xinluo patiently taught her, and finally, after failing three tis, managed to make one.
Looking at her handiwork, and comparing it with Ye Xinluo’s cutouts, she imdiately pouted and said, "What did I cut out? It doesn’t look like a character at all?"
Jingxi: "A hybrid!!"
