Chapter 724 Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year, also known as Duanyang Festival, Wuyue Festival, May Festival and so on. "Dragon Boat Festival" is one of China's national legal holidays and has been included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a festival for the Chinese people to cure diseases and prevent epidemics. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in the land of Wuyue, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan died on this day, it became a festival. It is a traditional festival for the Chinese Han people to commemorate Qu Yuan; some areas also have sayings to commemorate Wu Zixu and Cao E.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there are customs of eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, hanging calamus, wormwood, mugwort leaves, smoked herb and angelica, and dragon boat racing.

Kuaiji County is located in the land of Wu and Yue, so it attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival. Compared with the north, those provinces in the southwest pay more attention to it. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are zongzi everywhere in Kuaiji County. The smell, and in Zhaojia Village, it is full of the smell of zongzi now, and the smell of this zongzi is very refreshing. Many old people are sighing that they haven't smelled such a fragrant zongzi for a long time.

In fact, this is all because of the role of the spirit gathering array arranged by Zhao Chaogang in the small valley and Kuaiji Mountain.These two spirit gathering formations made Zhaojia Village's environment better day by day, and the bamboo forests in the village were even greener. In spring, the bamboo shoots grew wildly under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Moisturized by spiritual energy, these bamboo shoots are not only big in size, but also delicious in taste, which made the villagers who grow moso bamboo in the village a fortune.The bamboo leaves that the villagers wrap the zongzi are the coats of these bamboo shoots, and the aura has greatly improved the quality of the coats of these shoots, so the dumplings wrapped by the villagers with the coats of these bamboo shoots will be so fragrant when cooked.

At seven o'clock last night, almost all the first batch of 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 with big bags and small bags, they could tell at a glance that there were some high-end goods inside. There were even five people who each carried a [-]-inch LCD TV home, which made everyone in the village Those people are envious.

Just went to Chao Gang's restaurant to work for three or four months, and then went home with an LCD TV worth six or seven thousand. It seems that these people did not make less money at Chao Gang's place!
The faces of these villagers' families were even more smiling, and they happily welcomed their husbands and sons home. The laughter over Zhaojia Village became louder and louder. This Dragon Boat Festival is the The most lively and laughter-filled Dragon Boat Festival in decades.

Zhao Chaogang got up before six o'clock in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival. His task today was a bit heavy. He had to drive to pick up his aunts to the house.Although my aunt and the others can also come by car, it is convenient and face-saving to pick them up by car.

Zhao Chaogang got up lightly, fearing that he would wake up his daughter.Last night, Xiaohong and her eldest brother's daughter went out to fish for eels and came home very late, so they let her sleep for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do with her today.However, just as Zhao Chaogang started to get dressed, Li Liping woke up.

"Chao Gang, you're getting up now. It's okay if I don't go to pick up my aunt and the others. Will my aunt say anything about me, like I'm putting on airs or something? I think I'd better go pick up my aunt with you and let them Alright, I don't want to leave a bad impression on my aunt." Li Liping was also getting ready to get up, and she didn't want to neglect the relatives of Chao Gang's family.

"Pingping, you'd better go to bed, you don't have to worry about what auntie and the others say, you follow me to pick up auntie and they don't look good, you are a new daughter-in-law, and when the new wife comes to your door, the elders want to give red envelopes, when the time comes, auntie and the others will take When the red envelope comes out, whether you accept it or not, so, you'd better stay at home, and leave it to me to accept the aunt and the others."

"That's it, then I really don't want to go, Chao Gang, you should be careful on the road, don't drive too fast, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, if something really happens, the omen is not good."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll remember. Why, Pingping, you're not going to sleep, it's only [-]:[-], it's still early." Zhao Chaogang saw that Li Liping not only didn't go back to bed, but quickly After getting dressed, I was very puzzled.

"Mom and Dad got up early, and I should get up as a wife. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. There are so many relatives coming to us to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Why is my mother so busy with the kitchen? Help mom. Mom hasn’t made those seafoods before, so leave them to me. I’ve done seafood a few times in Anxi’s house.”

Today's Dragon Boat Festival, relatives and their family, there are a total of 42 people, so many people's meals, if only rely on the mother, then the mother will definitely be exhausted, can she just sit and watch like this? , What kind of words is this?

"Oh, yes, it's really tiring for mom to clean up those dishes today, but you should be thoughtful. Go and help mom. After the eldest aunt, fourth aunt and a few aunts come, it will be even easier to clean up. It's coming soon. As for the seafood, I'll get it when I come back, and I'll cook it myself."

When relatives are reunited, if the kitchen is too busy, the aunts and aunts will lend a hand to help. We are relatives to each other, and it is not the first time that the guests come to the door. It is nothing to extend a hand.

"Well, I see, you go early and come back early." Li Liping stepped forward to tidy up Zhao Chaogang's collar, and told Zhao Chaogang very gently.

This morning's breakfast was still Zhao Chaogang's favorite stir-fried rice cakes. After eating fried rice cakes, Zhao Chaogang drove to pick up his aunt and the others. Zhao Chaogang went to the eldest aunt's house first.

The eldest aunt's house is in Dujiabao, and the eldest uncle Yang Sen had died of illness a few years ago. At that time, Zhao Chaogang was still in prison, so he couldn't come out to see the eldest uncle. However, Zhao Chaogang was a guest at the eldest aunt's house during the Chinese New Year At that time, I had already paid homage to my uncle's grave and expressed my heart.

The eldest cousin Yang Wenjing originally worked in an architectural design company, but since Zhao Chaogang launched the land policy last time, the eldest cousin Yang Wenjing is already unemployed at home, and the eldest cousin Jin Qiao is a nurse and works in the eldest cousin's unit I work as a nurse in the hospital in the town where I live. My cousin and sister-in-law have a five-year-old son, Yang Xu.

Zhao Chaogang saw him when he was a guest at his cousin's house during the Chinese New Year. He was a very cute and well-behaved child.But the only disadvantage is that she is not very lively, and follows her cousin Jin Qiao's ass all day long. Compared with other five-year-old children in the village, she is less lively.

The eldest cousin and cousin sister-in-law have something to do during the day, but the eldest aunt is watching him. In the city, the eldest aunt dare not go for a walk or something, so they have developed such a very quiet personality.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the eldest aunt's family had already returned to their hometown, Du's Fort. There is the grave of the eldest uncle. Every holiday, the eldest aunt's family would come back here. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang only needs to go to Du's house today. The group of them is to pick up the eldest aunt.

Zhaojia Village is twelve miles away from Dujiabao. With the name of the Land Rover Range Rover, Zhao Chaogang came to Dujiabao in just over ten minutes.

However, today's Dujiabao is more lively than Zhaojiacun, if not less.It is already seven o'clock in the morning, Dujiabao is already full of excitement, especially the sound of firecrackers' crackling', and the festive atmosphere is very strong.

The eldest aunt's house is under the Dujiabao dirt road, so Zhao Chaogang parked the car directly on the side of the road, then went down the steps by the side of the dirt road to the path below, and walked towards the eldest aunt's house.

To go to the aunt's house, one has to pass a small bridge and a well, and the aunt's house is beside the well.

Zhao Chaogang remembered very clearly that when he and his cousins ​​came to spend the summer vacation at their aunt's house when they were young, the well left a deep impression on them.Zhao Chaogang couldn't forget the cool well water and the cool watermelon frozen by the well water.

"Auntie, I'm here." Zhao Chaogang yelled outside before entering the house.

"Yo, Chao Gang is here. It's been hard work. Come in and do it for a while. Let's have a cup of tea first. Jinqiao is going to make tea for Chao Gang."

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

"Auntie looks good, compared to the New Year, Auntie, you are ten years younger!"

As soon as he came up, Zhao Chaogang complimented her. The good look of the eldest aunt was actually due to the aura Zhao Chaogang left in the body of the eldest aunt.

When I saw my eldest aunt during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Chaogang had already sealed a lot of aura in the three aunts. These auras would slowly nourish the bodies of the three aunts as time went by, making their bodies stronger. come better.

"What's the matter? I'm so pissed off by your cousin. Really, at such an old age, I still worry about it."

The eldest aunt directly gave the elder cousin Yang Wenjing who just came out a supercilious look, and asked the eldest cousin to touch her nose resentfully, and the eldest cousin became embarrassed.

"Chao Gang, this time you have to talk about your cousin, really, it's too outrageous, he actually kept it from me for two months about such a big thing as unemployment, if it wasn't because your cousin already has a child, I've already passed with a broom."

It seems that the eldest aunt is really angry with the eldest cousin. After these days, the eldest aunt's anger still hasn't subsided. Whenever there is someone to confide in, she directly blames the eldest cousin. It seems that these days the big aunt Cousin is having a hard time at home. (To be continued.)
