Chapter 134 【134】Stove lamp at 3 o'clock in the first month
Himeko immediately shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to thank her.
She smiled and said to her lover, "You're welcome. We need to work hard to build the lamphouse."
After everyone's efforts.At noon on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the light sheds in Rocky Township had already been set up.
The young and middle-aged laborers all returned to their homes one after another, just in time for the girls to have lunch.
Himeko looked up at Hisoka in surprise while drinking rice porridge.
I had rice at home last night, but Himeko steamed a little too much.And when Hisoka ate, he estimated the amount and didn't eat too much.So today Himeko made the leftover rice into rice porridge.And some of them were made into rice balls.She originally planned to deliver rice balls to her family and her boyfriend at noon.
"Is it over so soon?"
Because it is quite cumbersome to set up a lamp shed.In previous years, it is usually the afternoon or evening of the [-]th day of the first lunar month.So this year has suddenly changed so much faster, she is not used to it.
Hisoka naturally went to hold a bowl of porridge and took out a few rice balls.
Himeko replied jokingly, "That's right~~ because I joined this time~~"
For her boyfriend who is now looking up for praise, Himeko feels like her heart has melted.
Her eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she said with a smile, "Hisso is awesome."
She stopped and re-entered the kitchen.
Looking at the current time, he estimated the time yesterday.Himeko originally planned to cook some food for Hisoka after she finished eating, and then send it to the place where the lamphouse was built.
But I didn't expect my lover to come back so soon.
So she washed her hands in the kitchen and made some food for Hisoka to break out.
After drinking and eating, Hisoka can finally rest at home.
For the time being, he had nothing left to fetch.
In the evening, Himeko specially made Hisoka's favorite sukiyaki to reward him.
After an afternoon of rest, Hisoka felt that it was almost time for him to resume his experience.
So after eating sukiyaki, Hisoka volunteered to do the dishes.
"Little Himeko~~I'll do the dishes~"
Himeko opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and said, "Let me wash it. You must be very tired these two days."
Hisoka greatly benefited from his little girlfriend's distress.But the effort he put in these two days was just water for him.In fact, he is not tired at noon today.Just to pretend that I am like an ordinary person, I deliberately took a rest for an afternoon.And the two of them ate sukiyaki at night.After eating sukiyaki, it is difficult to clean up the dishes, and usually, Himeko hates washing dishes the most.So Hisoka took the initiative to invite Ying again.
"I'll wash it~~" Hisoka's Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing her boyfriend's handsome appearance now, Himeko felt a tiny electric current flow all over her body.She succumbed to Hisoka's beauty so easily.
As soon as Hisoka finished speaking, Himeko nodded readily and said, "Well, you can wash it."
Although Hisoka really wanted to wash the dishes sincerely.But his little girlfriend agreed so readily, he was still a little upset.
The heart of the transformation system is so complicated and elusive.
But something unexpected happened to Hisoka.
After Himeko agreed to let Hisoka do the dishes, she didn't go straight out of the kitchen as usual and waited for Hisoka in the living room.Instead, after going out, he took something and came in again.
Looking at the lantern in his girlfriend's hand, Hisoka asked strangely: "Little Hime~ What are you doing with the lantern you bought here~~"
Himeko smiled at Hisoka, and said to him mysteriously, "Wait a while, you will know."
She turned on the empty gas stove and took a box of matches from the cupboard.I took one out of the matchbox.Put this match on the blue flame of the gas stove and light it.Then use this match to light the lantern you just brought in.Finally, the lantern was placed on the cabinet next to the kitchen.That place is conspicuous and not easy to knock down.
After all this was done, Himeko turned around and helped Hisoka resolve the previous confusion.
"I'm lighting a stove lamp."
Hisoka really won't do it this time.
I don't know if it's because of a change in mentality.In previous years, he didn't pay attention to what his little girlfriend was doing today. It wasn't until this year that he found out about the cooking lamp.
"But it's not the day when we look at the lights~~"
It happened that Hisoka had also packed the dishes, so Himeko pushed her boyfriend out of the kitchen.Pressing Hisoka onto the sofa, he sat beside her.
"We don't look at the lights, but God wants to look at the lights today."
After a few simple explanations, Himeko turned on the TV and put the remote control into Hisoka's hand.
In fact, the matter of lighting a stove lamp is very particular.Stove lamps, stove lamps, as the name suggests, are to be lit under the kitchen stove.But now it is modern, and things like kitchen stoves have been eliminated in most residents' homes.And you can't go to other people's homes to light the stove lamp, so over time, everyone is used to directly using the natural gas stove at home to light the stove lamp.
But what Himeko said is that the gods look at the lamps, which is a custom.
Although on the thirteenth and fourteenth days, people don't look at the lights.But the thirteen and fourteen gods look at the lights.There have been so many sacrifices to the gods before, and the gods can't forget it when they look at the lamps in the past two days.
After watching TV for a while, Himeko reckoned that it was almost time.
She turned her head to look at her boyfriend and said, "Let's go out now, there are still many lights outside today."
Although God looks at the lamp today, people can also appreciate it when they look carefully.And besides looking at the lights, they still have a lot of things to do when they go out.
From Himeko's house to the square of Rocky Town, there are several families in the middle.These families hang lights in their homes.
Before Himeko and the others went out, she also asked Hisoka to hang the lamp at the door of the house.
When we got to the square, there were already lights and festoons.Children are playing with the unique rolling dragon lantern in Rocky Town.
Seeing all this, Himeko smiled happily.
I took Hisoka to the place where glutinous rice balls were sold, and bought two bowls of glutinous rice balls.
Himeko also gave Hisoka some of the glutinous rice balls in her own bowl.
Two people eat the glutinous rice balls in their respective bowls, which means reunion.
After eating, they stood up quickly.There are also many town residents who buy glutinous rice balls, but there are only a few tables.Therefore, once the people who eat glutinous rice balls have finished eating, they will quickly stand up and leave to provide a place for the rest of the people to eat.
It's getting late now, almost nine o'clock.
They also took a walk in the square, strolling around to digest food.
Himeko also bought a double boat lantern.
This is also the custom in the small town of Rocky. The boat lanterns are to be released on the day when the thirteen gods look at the lanterns in the first lunar month.And you should pin your wishes on the boat lantern, hoping that the god who sees the lantern can see it.
After Hisoka and Himeko dated, many things became as they wanted.
Naturally, he followed his little girlfriend to do these things.
He didn't hate these things anyway.If you will be happy as a little girlfriend, then everyone will be happy.
The two wrote their respective wishes on the note, but neither of them read the other's wish note.They were stuffed into the belly of the boat lantern and put into the Yinyang River.
As the river flowed, the boat lights got farther and farther away from them.
Passers-by saw their boat lights drifting away, and hoped from the bottom of their hearts that they would have smooth sailing, happiness and peace in the new year.
Hisoka's wish was simple and almost never changed.It's just that the degree to which his wish has been fulfilled has always been small.
He hopes to meet small fruits worth cultivating this year.It would be great if he could fight with the big fruit he was looking for.
As Himeko said before, he has no plans for the future of the two of them.Even in his wish, there is no place for Himeko to appear.
But Himeko's wish was more ordinary.But often ordinary wishes are more difficult to realize.
She hoped that both herself and Hisoka would be safe and sound this year.
After walking along the Yinyang River for a while, they decided to go back home.Although the clothes were not thin, the wind was still piercingly cold on the face.
When I got home, it was already ten o'clock.
But Himeko didn't go to bed directly, because she hadn't finished the procedure for today.
Hisoka naturally accompanied his little girlfriend.
When she just bought a boat lantern, she bought two semi-finished lanterns by the way.
She sat on the small stool in the living room, and started to tie up the colored lights in the light of the living room.
These two lanterns are what she and Hisoka will use on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Because what I bought was a semi-finished product, in fact, I only need to do some crafts and paste the paper now, and it is almost ready.
This is the original custom of the small town of Rocky.
Lanterns for the Lantern Festival on Zhengyuan 15 must be made by yourself.
But now it's the modern age, so everyone doesn't pay attention to doing it by themselves from beginning to end.Buying semi-finished products like Himeko and finishing them by herself can be regarded as self-made lanterns.
Before pasting the paper, Himeko wrote on the paper an anagram like "Eleventh and Both Sides Miss".
She raised her head and asked Hisoka who was with her, "Is Hisoka going to write some crossword puzzles?"
Hisoka thought about it, except for a simple riddle that was extremely characteristic of Hisoka.
"Little Himeko, let's write Autumn with a red face."
Himeko wrote this sentence on the paper with a helpless face.
I hope that my boyfriend can be as dedicated to me as he is to this one.
After writing the riddle, it's time to paste the paper.It's just that some places protruded, and Himeko accidentally cut her finger.
A trace of blood appeared on the finger.It hurts a bit, but it doesn't look like a big deal.
Himeko didn't intend to tell her lover.
But Hisoka already smelled the smell of blood immediately.
How could such a thing be hidden from him?
Hisoka couldn't be more familiar with this taste, and couldn't be more fond of it.But the premise is that this smell is not from the little girlfriend.
He immediately took Himeko's hand.
