Chapter 3143 Give Our Family a Bite of Food
Having accepted Bai Guagua's "bribe," Xiao Xiaobai must speak well of him in front of the Kitchen God.
Holding incense sticks, she knelt before the image of the Kitchen God and kowtowed, her head bowed deeply, showing great piety. She was really going all out to repay Bai Guagua for the snacks.
"Grandpa Kitchen God~ Hello, it's me again, hiahiahiahia~~~~ I'm here to kowtow to you! Guagua is my good friend. He's a good boy, not picky about food, doesn't cry, never leaves any food on his plate, and even licks the bowl clean after he finishes eating. I've never seen any other child eat as cleanly as him. He's also very good at housework, often helping his parents...emm sweeping, feeding the piglets...I hope his whole family will be safe and sound next year, and that they can eat lots and lots of delicious food!"
Hearing this, Bai Guagua was so moved she almost cried. Robin is truly a righteous person.
Little did he know that Robin had said a lot of nice things, but it was all in vain. Who knew if the Kitchen God would even listen?
However, what Xi'er said was very effective. Although she only said three sentences, it was as effective as Robin Xia saying a hundred sentences.
"Grandpa Kitchen God, please continue to bless Guagua's family and make their lives better and better. I will thank you."
After Xi'er finished speaking, Bai Feng and the others stepped forward one by one. Although they usually had many conflicts with Bai Guagua, they were still very supportive in this serious occasion and did not dare to do anything reckless or say anything out of line. They only said what was nice to hear.
After all, Bai Guagua is going to their house to worship the Kitchen God later.
After the worship ceremony, Bai Guagua's family warmly saw them off.
Bai Guagua also went to the neighbor's house.
And so, the group went from house to house, offering prayers at each home, until they finally arrived at Bai Jianping's house.
Bai Jianping and Ma Lanhua's family stood at the door to greet them. Upon seeing them, they quickly smiled and welcomed them into the house.
Suddenly, a small figure passed right under her nose, with a pair of small hands behind her back. It didn't even look at her and just walked past casually.
Malan looked down and saw that it was none other than Robin from their family!
This child! He doesn't even greet his grandma, acting like he's visiting someone else's house when he's in his own.
Yang Yi was entertaining everyone inside the house. When she saw Xi'er, she quickly grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Xi'er's arms.
"Hiahia, this isn't a good idea."
"Xi'er, have some. These are all delicious candies. There are hard candies, soft candies, and even White Rabbit candies..."
"I'll take one of each."
I really can't bear to part with it, but I can't have too much either.
“These are all different.”
Seeing this, Xi'er had no choice but to happily accept it. Honestly, she had said no, no, but Little Yang's mother was just so enthusiastic!
"Robin, come here."
Yang Yi called her little girl over and gave her a few words of advice, but the little girl hid far away as soon as she entered the room.
"What?"
"Come here, Mom wants to have a private talk with you."
Robin reluctantly walked over, and was only let go after her mother whispered something in her ear for a while.
Bai Jianping had already set up the rituals. The image of the Kitchen God was pasted on the kitchen wall, and the stove was filled with fruit and various local snacks.
"Village chief, who do you think should come to offer sacrifices first?" Bai Jianping asked.
Without hesitation, the village chief said, "Then let your granddaughter go first. She behaved very well on the way. She's talkative, articulate, and speaks very sweetly. Everyone is very happy."
Bai Jianping then beckoned Robin over and asked him to put in a good word for their family.
Robin skillfully took the incense, held it above his head, and knelt down in front of the Kitchen God's image. Malan Flower appeared out of nowhere, just in Robin's line of sight, and stared at the little figure without saying a word.
Seeing this, the little one quickly shifted his bottom to avoid seeing his grandma.
Malanhua's eyes narrowed; this boy had a rebellious streak.
Worried that Robin might say something inappropriate in front of the Kitchen God, she quickly said, "My Robin isn't ready yet. How about we let Xi'er do it first? Xi'er, you set an example for everyone. You have the best way of speaking."
After saying that, she picked Robin up and took him aside to discipline him.
The village chief and the others all looked on with gossip in their eyes.
Robin was also completely bewildered. She had already knelt down, so how could she still be carried away?
"99 me, 99 me~~"
"Stop fooling around, it's Grandma. Grandma wants to have a private talk with you."
"99 me, 99 me~~"
"Stop yelling, or I'll beat you up tonight!"
Robin immediately stopped howling and instead pleaded, "Spare my life, Grandma Duck."
Malan rolled her eyes at her. How come this child isn't even half as clever as Xiaobai?
Little Whitey was taken away, and Xi'er became the one at the front.
She was already quite skilled at it. She knelt before the Kitchen God, said some kind words, lit incense, and then stood up. Bai Guagua and the others knelt down one after another...
Robin was finally put back in her place. Her grandmother carried her back to her original position, seamlessly repositioning her, without even changing Robin's kneeling posture.
The little boy knelt devoutly before the Kitchen God, murmuring, "Grandpa Kitchen God, it's me again to talk to you. My grandma told me that our family has had a good year because of you. Thank you, and I hope you will continue to bless our family next year and grant us a meal..."
Malan clenched her fists; these were not words she had been instructed to say.
After Robin finished offering incense, she immediately moved away from her grandmother and slipped away to her mother's side.
The village chief said, "Alright, the worship is over. Let's go and move on to the next house."
The crowd filed out, and Little White disappeared into the throng.
After visiting each household to offer prayers, the group crossed farmland and a stream to reach Teacher Jiang's house.
Teacher Jiang and Tan Jin'er waited anxiously in the courtyard. As soon as they saw them cross the small bridge, they immediately set off firecrackers to welcome them.
Xi'er ran over first, excitedly shouting, "Sister!! We're here to worship the Kitchen God~~~"
"Why have you been gone so long?"
“Every household paid their respects.”
What's in your pocket?
"Huh? Hiahia is candy that everyone gave me."
"Eat less."
"Oh~ I only eat two a day."
Teacher Jiang and Tan Jin'er were frying crispy pork, fried dough sticks, and sesame balls at home this morning, and they were still steaming hot when they brought them out.
Several children stood around the snack and fruit plate, eating with great concentration.
The village chief came and told them not to eat yet, but to worship the Kitchen God and finish their business first.
Xi'er was the first to offer sacrifices, conveying the wishes of the little god of happiness to the Kitchen God.
Next, Robin and the others stepped forward one by one.
Robin knelt devoutly before the image of the Kitchen God, her bottom sticking up like a tiny sesame seed dumpling. She said with utmost sincerity, "Hello, Kitchen God! I've come to talk to you. Please bless my aunt's family with good food and drink, and that they'll make a fortune next year. Thank you so much..."
Goodness, she doesn't even speak so sweetly about her own family. Her aunt is the closest to her, so she saves all the nice things for here.
Teacher Jiang couldn't stop smiling. She pulled Xiao Xiaobai up, patted her little head affectionately, and stuffed a red envelope into her pocket.
After the ceremony, the village chief and Teacher Jiang exchanged a few pleasantries, asked about Zhang Tan's return date, and drank some tea. Seeing that it was almost noon, they cheered themselves up and headed to the last house, Dunzi's house.
Dunzi had already run home to report the news. Her parents were waiting in the yard, while he quickly locked up the rooster to prevent Robin from clashing with it later.
