Chapter 3142 The Kitchen God

Upon hearing the village chief call them over to worship the Kitchen God, Xi'er and the others immediately stepped forward, standing in front of the Kitchen God's image, unsure of what to do.

Without hesitation, Little White dove down and knelt before the Kitchen God, kowtowing and shouting, "Grandpa Kitchen God, hello! I'm kowtowing to you, please bless me with food every meal! Thank you!"

Everyone was speechless.

Although Xi'er didn't know the correct ritual, she knew it definitely wasn't the kind of thing Little White did. She quickly pulled the little girl up to prevent her from doing anything else outrageous.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Little White asked, puzzled.

She felt that what she said was quite good; it was all from the bottom of her heart, expressing both her wishes and her respect for the Kitchen God.

“That’s not how you do it,” Bai Feng said. “Watch me.”

Bai Feng was experienced; he took the lead, picked up three incense sticks, bowed to the Kitchen God, lit them, and placed them in the incense burner.

"Just pray like this," he told everyone.

Xi'er and the others immediately followed suit, lighting the incense sticks in their hands and then sticking them into the incense burner.

As everyone stepped back, they discovered that Little White was standing on tiptoe, still trying to stick the incense sticks into the incense burner, but her height was not enough, which was indeed quite difficult for her.

Xi'er stepped forward and lifted her up, giving her a helping hand.

The village chief smiled and said, "You've all done a great job. Now we're going to visit every household. Just follow along."

"Shall we leave now?" Little White asked curiously.

The village chief laughed and said, "Let's go now."

Little White pointed timidly to the offerings on the stove and asked, "Are all the delicious things put here?"

"They're all placed here for the Kitchen God to eat."

"...emmm, what if there are rats?"

"No, no. Would you like something to eat?"

"Hehehe, I want to eat persimmons."

"I'll ask the Kitchen God to give you one."

The village chief had no choice but to ask the Kitchen God for a persimmon for Little White.

Little White finally smiled broadly. She had worshipped the Kitchen God, so it was reasonable for her to receive some offerings from him.

After leaving the ancestral hall, everyone began visiting each other's homes.

At each house, the homeowner was already waiting at the door. As soon as they saw everyone arrive, they set off firecrackers and respectfully invited everyone inside. Then they brought out all sorts of delicious food and drinks, hoping that the guests would say good things about their family when they worshipped the Kitchen God.

Crackle, pop, boom!

As soon as the firecrackers went off, Little White ran outside and disappeared.

"Robin—"

Xi'er quickly chased after her and caught up with Little White, who was covering his ears, from a distance.

"Why are you running? We're going to worship the Kitchen God."

Little White was scared: "The firecrackers there were so loud, they flew right up to my feet, I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Stay behind me, I'll shield you from the firecrackers."

Xi'er took her little hand and went back. At this time, Dunzi and Baiguagua also came over. When they heard that Xiaobai was afraid of firecrackers, the two of them showed their manly spirit and promised to protect her.

Back at that house, the ritual to worship the Kitchen God had already been completed. While Xi'er and the others were away, Bai Feng and his underlings had finished the ritual.

However, when the family saw Xi'er and Xiao Xiaobai appear, they couldn't help but ask the village chief if they could offer the sacrifice again.

The village chief said, puzzled, "We've already performed the ritual, why do we have to do it again?"

The male head of the household laughed and said, "Xiwawa and Xiaoxiaobai are children who live in the city. If they say good things to the Kitchen God, wouldn't that better show that our family is doing well?"

Everyone laughed. They had to admit, what this guy said made a lot of sense. Look, even the kids living in the city were praising their family's good life and how sweet their days were. That was definitely more convincing, and the Kitchen God would be even happier.

"We should ask the child for their opinion."

The village chief asked Xi'er and Xiao Xiaobai for their opinions, and they were both willing to say a few more good words for Old Bai.

Xi'er led Xiao Xiaobai in the worship ceremony, saying to the image of the Kitchen God, "Hello, Kitchen God! Our lives are so sweet. I heard you like sweets too, so I've prepared some delicious food for you today. Remember to come and get it! Please continue to bless us next year. Thank you!"

Little Bai followed along, lit the incense, and the ceremony was over.

However, she had a question in her mind and asked Xi'er in a low voice, "Is this Kitchen God different from the one the village chief told us to worship earlier?"

Xi'er also noticed that the Kitchen God's beard was shorter now, whereas the Kitchen God in the ancestral hall had a very long beard.

"Shh, don't talk about the Kitchen God, it's impolite."

"Sister Xi'er, let me tell you, why is the Kitchen God's beard so short?"

"I don't know either."

At this moment, the host couldn't stop smiling, and kept stuffing all kinds of snacks into their arms, and even gave each of them a red envelope.

Little White was overjoyed and whispered to Xi'er, "They gave us a red envelope!"

Xi'er said, "If I give it to you, just take it and put it in your pocket, don't lose it."

"How much?"

"I'll look at it when I get back; put it away for now."

"I'd better take a look first."

She couldn't resist opening the red envelope and saw a hundred-yuan bill inside, which she quickly put into her pocket.

Bai Guagua came over and asked Xiao Xiaobai curiously how much money was in the red envelope.

How much is it for you?

Little White asked in return, and it has to be said that after following Liu Liu for a while, although he didn't become smarter, he did become very wary of others.

Bai Guagua honestly replied, "I have 50 yuan, hehe~"

He was secretly pleased with himself. Little White immediately took out her red envelope and said, "Mine is 100 yuan, hiahiahia~ more than yours."

Bai Guagua: "..."

Bai Feng overheard some of this and leaned closer to ask, "Robin, how much do you charge?"

Little Bai was about to say that she had 100 yuan when Xi'er covered her mouth with her hand, telling her not to say it.

"Let's go, let's go, we're going to Guagua's house," Xi'er urged.

"Yes! We're almost home!" Bai Guagua excitedly took the lead. When everyone arrived at his house, he and his parents were already standing at the door to greet them.

Xi'er noticed that the Kitchen God in Guagua's family was different; he looked younger.

"Eat candy, eat candy."

Bai Guagua's mother acted quickly, immediately giving Xi'er candy. She must have been tipped off by Bai Guagua beforehand, knowing that Xi'er liked candy, so she bribed her.

Xi'er couldn't resist the temptation of the candy. She took the candy, stuffed it into her pocket, and grinned from ear to ear.

Little White reminded her to eat less candy.

"My aunt told me to keep an eye on you, huh!"

Xi'er smiled and said, "I'll eat slowly, and I'll eat all winter break."

Little White thought for a moment and decided, "Never mind, let Sister Xi'er eat slowly."

"Everyone come quickly and worship the Kitchen God."

The village chief called the children forward and gave each of them three incense sticks.

Bai Guagua quickly reminded his friends: "Say nice things, choose the nicest things to say..."

Little White said confidently, "Guagua, don't worry, I'll definitely say nice things. You're my good friend, and I don't want you to go hungry in the future."

"Thank you, thank you Robin. I'll say nice things when I come to your house later."
