Chapter 724 Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Noon Festival, the May Day, etc. The "Dragon Boat Festival" is one of the national statutory holidays in China and has been included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China and was originally a festival for the Chinese people to cure diseases and prevent epidemics. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wuyue area was held in the form of dragon boat racing on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan died on this day, it became a traditional festival for the Chinese Han people to commemorate Qu Yuan. There are also sayings in some areas that commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E and others.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there are customs of eating rice dumplings, drinking realgar wine, hanging calamus, artemisia, mugwort, atractylodes, angelica, and dragon boat racing.

Kuaiji County is in this Wuyue land. Therefore, it attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival. Compared with the north and southwest provinces, the entire Kuaiji County is full of the smell of rice dumplings. In Zhaojia Village, it is now full of rice dumplings. Moreover, the smell of rice dumplings is very refreshing. Many old people sigh that they have not smelled such a fragrant rice dumpling for a long time.

In fact, this is all because of the effect of the spirit gathering array arranged by Zhao Chaogang in the small valley and Kuaiji Mountain. These two spirit gathering arrays make the environment of Zhaojia Village better and better day by day. The bamboo forests in the village are even greener. In spring, the bamboo shoots grow even more madly under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

After the spiritual nourishment, these bamboo shoots are not only big, but also delicious, which made the villagers who grow bamboo in the village make a lot of money. The bamboo leaves wrapped in the villagers are the outer coats of these bamboo shoots. The spiritual energy greatly improves the quality of the coats of these bamboo shoots. Therefore, the rice dumplings wrapped in the outer coats of these bamboo shoots will be so fragrant when cooked.

At 7 o'clock last night, almost all the villagers who went to work in Zhao Chaogang's restaurant came back, which made Zhaojia Village even more lively. Especially when these villagers came back, they all had big bags. At a glance, they knew that there were some high-end products inside. Five people even carried a 40-inch LCD TV home, which made the people in the village envious.

I just worked at the restaurant in Chaogang for three or four months and then carried an LCD TV worth 6,000 to 7,000. It seems that these people have made a lot of money in Chaogang!

The villagers' families were even more smiling, and they happily welcomed their husbands/sons home. The laughter over Zhaojia Village became louder and louder. This Dragon Boat Festival is the most lively and laughable Dragon Boat Festival in Zhaojia Village in decades.

Zhao Chaogang got up before 6 o'clock in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival. Today, his task was a bit heavy, so he had to drive to pick up his aunts at home. Although his aunts and the others could also take a bus, there was no way to drive to pick them up by themselves and give them face.

Zhao Chaogang got up lightly, afraid that it would wake up Nannan. Last night, Nannan and his elder brother's daughter Xiaohong went out to fish for eels until very late before returning home. Therefore, they asked Nannan to sleep for a while. Anyway, there was nothing happening to Nannan today. However, Zhao Chaogang just started to wear clothes, and Li Liping woke up.

"Chao Gang, you're up now. I can't pick up my aunt and the others. Will my aunt and the others say anything? I think I'll go with you to pick up my aunt and make them better. I don't want to leave any bad impression on my aunt and the others." Li Liping was also ready to get up. Li Liping didn't want to neglect the relatives of Chao Gang's family.

"Pingping, you should go to bed. Don't worry about what your aunt and the others say. You will not be decent if you follow me to pick up your aunt and the others. You are the new daughter-in-law. When the new daughter-in-law comes to the door, the elders will have to give red envelopes. At that time, the aunt and the others will take out the red envelopes. Do you pick up or not? So, it's better to stay at home. Just leave it to me to take over your aunt and the others."

"That's right, then I'm really not going. Then Chaogang, be careful on the way and don't drive too fast. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. If something really happens, it's not a good sign."

"Okay, don't worry, I remember it. Why, Pingping, you are not sleeping anymore. It's only 5:40 now, and it's still early." Zhao Chaogang saw that Li Liping not only did not return to the bed, but quickly put on her clothes, and was puzzled.

"My parents have already gotten up, and I, a wife, should get up too. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. There are so many relatives who are coming to us for the Dragon Boat Festival. How can my mother come here alone in the kitchen? I'll help my mother. I haven't done the seafood before, so I'll leave it to me to do it. I've made seafood several times at Anxi's house."

On today's Dragon Boat Festival, there are 42 relatives and their family. If there are so many people, if they rely on their mother alone, then the mother will definitely be exhausted. Is her wife just sitting on the side and watching? What does this mean?

"Oh, yes, it's really tiring if the mothers clean up the vegetables alone today. You're still thoughtful. Go and help your mother. After the eldest aunt, fourth aunt and several aunts come, they will pack up faster. As for the seafood, I'll cook when I come back and I'll cook it myself."

When relatives are reunited, if they are too busy in the kitchen, the aunts and aunts will reach out to help. Everyone is a relative, not a guest who comes to the door for the first time, so there is nothing to do with the top.

"Well, I understand, you go and go back soon." Li Liping stepped forward and sorted out his collar for Zhao Chaogang, and gently reminded Zhao Chaogang.

This morning's breakfast was Zhao Chaogang's favorite fried rice cake. After eating fried rice cake, Zhao Chaogang drove to pick up his aunt and others. Zhao Chaogang went to his aunt's house first.

My eldest aunt's house is in Dujiabao. My eldest uncle Yang Sen was already sick a few years ago. At that time, Zhao Chaogang was still in prison, so he was unable to come out to see my eldest uncle off. However, when Zhao Chaogang came to visit my eldest aunt's house during the Chinese New Year, he had already visited my uncle's grave to worship and express his feelings.

The eldest cousin Yang Wenjing originally worked in an architectural design company. However, because Zhao Chaogang introduced the land policy last time, the eldest cousin Yang Wenjing was already unemployed and at home. The eldest cousin's wife Jin Qiao was a nurse and worked as a nurse in the hospital in the town where the eldest cousin's unit was located. The eldest cousin and his cousin's wife had a five-year-old son, Yang Xu.

When Zhao Chaogang visited his cousin's house during the Chinese New Year, he saw him. He was very cute and well-behaved. However, his only disadvantage was that he was not very lively. He followed his cousin's sister-in-law Jin Qiao's butt all day long, and lacked liveliness than other five-year-old children in the village.

My cousin and my cousin's sister-in-law had something to do during the day, but my aunt was watching him. In the city, my aunt didn't dare to go out for a walk, so she developed such a very quiet surname.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, my aunt and her family had already returned to her hometown Dujiabao. There was my uncle's grave here. Every holiday, my aunt and her family would come back here. Therefore, today, Zhao Chaogang just went to Dujiabao to pick up my aunt and her group.

Zhaojia Village is twelve miles away from Dujiabao. With the surname Neng of the Land Rover Range Rover, Zhao Chaogang arrived at Dujiabao in just over ten minutes.

However, today's Dujiabao is even more lively than Zhaojia Village. It is already seven o'clock in the morning, and Dujiabao is already lively, especially the sound of firecrackers is constantly clattering, and the atmosphere of the festival is very strong.

My aunt's house was below Dujiabao Dirt Road, so Zhao Chaogang parked his car directly on the side of the road, then went down from the steps on the side of the dirt road to the path below, and walked towards my aunt's house.

To go to my aunt's house, I have to pass a small bridge and a well, which is next to this well.

Zhao Chaogang remembers very clearly that when he and his cousin came to his aunt's house for summer vacation when he was a child, the well left a deep impression on them. The cool well water and the cool watermelon that were iced by the well water all made Zhao Chaogang unforgettable.

"Grand Aunt, I'm here." Zhao Chaogangren shouted outside before he could enter his aunt's house.

"Yeah, Chao Gang has arrived. Thank you so much. Come in and do it for a while, and have a cup of tea before talking about it. Jin Qiao goes to make tea for Chao Gang."

As soon as he heard Zhao Chaogang's voice, his aunt Zhao Shufang came out to greet Zhao Chaogang with a smile on her face, and turned around and asked her sister-in-law to make tea for herself.

"You are so beautiful that your aunt looks good. Compared to the Chinese New Year, you are ten years younger than you did during the Chinese New Year!"

As soon as he came up, Zhao Chaogang complimented him. The eldest aunt had such a good complexion, but in fact it was the effect of the spiritual energy left by Zhao Chaogang in the eldest aunt's body.

When I met my aunt during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Chaogang had already sealed a lot of spiritual energy on the bodies of the three aunts. These spiritual energy would slowly nourish the bodies of the three aunts over time, making their bodies better and better.

"What's so good? You're so angry that your cousin is so angry. It's so old that I still make me fuck you."

The eldest aunt rolled her eyes to the eldest cousin Yang Wenjing who had just come out, and made the eldest cousin touch his nose in disappointment. The eldest cousin felt embarrassed.

"Chao Gang, this time you have to talk about your cousin. It's really unreasonable. He has hidden it from me for two months for such a big thing as unemployment. If it weren't for your cousin already having children, I would have passed by a broom."
