Since the more than ten black-clothed people were wiped out by Xiao Ding and his family, the life of Xiao Ding's family has gradually returned to peace. The construction of Xiaoding's house, with the end of spring ploughing, is also in full swing.

Nearby villagers heard that Xiaoding's family not only earned money for their work, but also lent horses for free when they were busy farming. So they all came to sign up for work.

In a few days, the workers of Xiaoding's family had recruited hundreds of people.

With so many people, building a house at the same time, the speed is naturally much faster. Villagers are no strangers to building houses, and many of them have their own houses, which are built by their own families.

In just over half a month, more than a dozen houses were erected in the large courtyard of the Tian family. It's not completely finished, but it's not far from completion.

Most of these houses are made of bricks and cement. The surface is painted with a layer of white lime, and the house looks particularly beautiful.

The walls of the room are also painted with white lime, and the interior of the room is also very bright.

Each house is designed according to Xiaoding, and a kang is built in the house for heating in winter.

When the villagers saw the design of the kang in Xiaoding's house, they all claimed that they would also build a kang in their house before this winter.

Now that it is the end of April and the beginning of May, Xiao Ding has recently decided to go to Jiaozhou Xijian Villa to participate in the gathering to exterminate Tianluomen and the Earth Demon Valley.

When he shared his thoughts with his family, the family persuaded Xiao Ding that it would not be too late to leave after the fifth and fifth Duanyang.

Xiao Ding thought about it, the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival were not able to accompany his family to spend it, and now it is about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and his departure is not bad for these few days, so he agreed to the family's retention and promised his family to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival is over.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived, and Xiaoding's house has already been lit up and properly arranged, with a joyful atmosphere.

The Dragon Boat Festival of this era is also known as the Duanyang Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chongwu Festival, the Dragon Festival, the Zhengyang Festival, the Tianzhong Festival, etc. Because this era deviates from the history that Xiaoding understands, the Dragon Boat Festival in this era is not used to commemorate Qu Yuan, but according to legend, this festival evolved from the dragon sacrifice in ancient times. Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, Canglong Qisu soars to the south of the sky, which is the auspicious day for the dragon to fly to the sky, that is, as the proverb says: "The flying dragon is in the sky". The Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Star is both "in the middle" and "in the right", which is a sign of great luck.

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival in this era covers the ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations; In the process of inheritance and development, a variety of folk customs are mixed as a whole, and the festival is rich in content.

In this era, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the southerners also have the custom of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi, and the north has fewer customs of dragon boat racing because there are many mountains and few rivers, and eating zongzi and hanging lanterns are very common. These rituals have been passed down since ancient times.

Luoxia Village is located in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, where there are many mountains and few rivers, and naturally there is no custom of dragon boat racing, but hanging lanterns and making zongzi is a must.

Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole family was already busy. All the things used for the festival were bought back in advance, and Xiao Ding's family sold out-of-season vegetables for a winter, and now they are not short of money at all. Moreover, young people like Xiao Ding, Zhao Laixi, and Zhao Hu go out to buy things, and they will not be reluctant to spend money like Tian Dabao.

Zhao Laixi has been with Xiao Ding for a long time, and he has also been influenced by Xiao Ding. He used to be reluctant to spend money, but now he has money in his pocket, plus Xiao Ding and Zhao Hu are always unconsciously inducing him to spend money, and he himself has a kind of nouveau riche heart, so when he spends money to buy things now, he is no longer as picky as before.

In fact, the main reason why those who are usually reluctant to spend money is because they have no money in their pockets, and if they have enough money in their pockets, no one is willing to pick and search.

This festival, lanterns and silk and the like are not less to buy, the Tian family has a lot of houses under construction, many of which are about to be completed, so they all need to be arranged, hang some colorful silk lanterns on it, it looks festive.

Wine, meat, vegetables, and so on are also not less bought.

Xiao Ding decided that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he would invite the workers on the construction site to eat a lot, improve the food, and then give him a half-day off. Therefore, there is no shortage of food preparations.

The women of the Tian family went to the kitchen early in the morning to make zongzi. Except for Zheng Die'er, who couldn't cook, the other women all went to the kitchen, including the former Shuzhou flower Luo Dafeng. Although she is a martial arts practitioner, she has done a lot of housework, since her husband left and did not return, she has been widowed alone for many years, and all the housework is done by herself.

Zheng Dieer is different, she was born in a beautiful family, the daughter of Zhizhou, since she was a child, her hands have not touched the spring water, and she has lived a life of clothes to reach out and eat to open her mouth. Although she was full of poetry and books, she did very little housework. She has done a little bit of sewing, mending, brocade embroidery, etc., but she has basically never done laundry and cooking.

At noon, each worker was given two zongzi, and then more than 100 workers gathered together, feasted in a large row, and drank all the time, and then dispersed.

In the afternoon, Xiaoding gave the workers a holiday, so many people drank a lot of alcohol at this meal at noon.

Xiaofu also returned home from the academy last night, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zixia Academy gave the students a day off. Xiaofu hired a carriage and came back from Luoxia County.

After this period of study in Zixia Academy, Xiaofu vaguely had the appearance of a little scholar, and Tian Dabao and his wife were very happy to see Xiaofu's appearance and temperament.

Xiao Ding is still secretly worried in his heart, Xiao Fu must not learn to be a nerd who can only talk about it!

Although the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival, the atmosphere is very festive. But Xiao Ding felt that this day was much more tired than usual.

There is a lot of work for no reason, how can there be a reason not to be tired. There is also a banquet with wine and food at noon, which is also a very laborious thing.

Therefore, in the evening, Xiao Ding went to the kang early and lay down to rest.

Before he went to sleep, he was still thinking in his heart: he was going to leave for Jiaozhou Xijian Villa tomorrow, and he wondered if the plan to gather all the sects and factions to exterminate the Tianluo Sect could go smoothly this time?
