The end of the lunar year begins on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month, which was also known as the minor Chinese New Year. On that day, every family must worship the Kitchen God. Before the Spring Festival, every family should have a house cleaning. Zhu Yahong still remembers the scene of cleaning the room. Xu Suzhen still remembers the scene that she got up in the early morning to buy vegetables, make dumplings, cut dried bamboo shoots, make egg dumplings and so on.
