After Tian Xiaoding and the four returned to Tianyao Village, the time was close to the end of the year.

In order to celebrate the New Year without affecting the mood of other people in the cottage, Xiao Ding decided to pay tribute to Erniu, as well as Su Lanlan and Tang Yunzhi a few days before the year before the New Year.

From the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month to the evening of the twenty-ninth month, for a total of three days, Xiao Ding paid tribute to Erniu, Su Lanlan, and Tang Yunzhi in an empty room in Tianyao Village.

Of course, in the past three days, Xiao Ding remembered the old people's past, and it was inevitable that he would be sad again.

Three days later, Xiao Ding once again took back the coffin of Erniu and the tablets of Su Lanlan and Tang Yunzhi into the jade pendant space.

Si people have passed away, and during the New Year's Festival, pay tribute and miss it, and only send the sorrow of the living.

This is also a traditional custom that has been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

This custom was brought to Tiankun Star by the Chinese people on the earth, so there is such a custom on Tiankun Star.

The next day came to the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Tianyao Village was very lively.

The senior sister Cheng Yaowen, Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tongtong are directing the people in the cottage and busily arranging the houses in the cottage.

The whole cottage is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Xiao Ding deliberately took out some previously stored meat and handed it to the cottage canteen, and instructed Li Tianliang and the three deputy owners in charge of logistics, saying: "In the past few days from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third year of junior high school, the people in the cottage can share half a catty of meat and a catty of dumplings for free at every meal. Among them, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, to make a few more dishes, prepare more wine, when the time comes, the whole cottage people can drink happily. ”

Li Tianliang, Deng Feng and Shan Tong were the outer disciples of Tianyang Sect at the beginning, and the outer disciples of Kaiyang Peak happened to be in charge of logistics, and the three of them had already done a good job of these daily trivial matters.

However, the difference is that in the past, these three people all worked by themselves. Now, the three of them are mainly directing others to do it.

Since the three of them have a low cultivation level and can't fly with a sword, they specially bought a few ox carts for the cottage in order to go out to purchase supplies.

The reason why you buy an ox cart is that it can also be used to plough the fields during the busy farming season.

With the leadership of Li Tianliang and others, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the cottage was full of lights and joy.

This is the first New Year since the establishment of Tianyao Village, therefore, the people in the cottage spare no effort to try to make the cottage better.

In the cottage, they are full of red silk, hanging red lanterns, posting Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, etc., and the entire Tianyao Village is decorated in full swing.

This New Year is the third New Year that Xiao Ding has spent since he came to Tiankun Star.

The first New Year was spent in the Tianyang Sect, and it was also very lively at that time. In the second New Year, he was on the way to leave the Soul Burial Mountain, when Tang Yunzhi had just passed away, he was alone on the way out of the Soul Mountain, his mood was very low, and he didn't have the heart to celebrate the New Year.

This year's New Year is the third, which means that it has been three years since he came to Tiankun Star.

Now, he finally doesn't have to wander around and die in the world.

With the base of Tianyao Village, he can be regarded as having a place to live, although it is only a team composed of bandits, but he believes that as long as he leads well, the pheasant will also become a phoenix in the future.

How to make a pheasant become a phoenix, naturally it is mainly necessary to start from improving the overall strength of the people in the cottage.

After the year, the first thing Xiaoding plans to do is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the cottage first.

In the past few months, the expenses in the cottage are basically paid by Xiao Ding out of his own pocket, if it goes on like this, even if Xiao Ding has money, it will be the day when it will be spent.

Therefore, if he wants to put Shanzhai on the right track, he still needs to guide Shanzhai to a self-sufficient lifestyle. After satisfying food and clothing, he will find a way to let the people in the cottage create more labor value, and then earn spirit stones in exchange for cultivation resources.

Only when the cultivation resources are abundant enough can the overall strength of the people be able to improve rapidly, and only then can the long-term plan of turning the pheasant into a phoenix be realized.

So, at the beginning of the New Year's feast, Xiao Ding, as the owner of Tianyao Village, also made a speech to all the members, he not only said his future plans, but also drew a big cake for everyone, so that everyone instantly felt that the future was full of infinite reverie and hope.

Of course, this is also because, the people in the cottage basically lived a precarious life before, and the previous owner of the village only knew to let everyone go out to rob, which was all about luck to eat, and if the opponent who was robbed was a good bully, then he would be able to eat a full meal. If you can't rob your belongings, you'll starve for days on end. If you meet a powerful opponent, you will lose your life if you don't do it.

The days of licking blood on the head of the knife were not good.

Therefore, when Xiao Ding came to become the owner of the village, he completely changed their daily life. Not only can I fill my stomach, but I don't have to go out to sell my life.

For ordinary people, who doesn't want to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and there is no danger to life.

Therefore, don't look at Xiao Ding as a new owner from outside, after a few months of running-in, the people in the cottage have already recognized and accepted this new owner.

The excitement of the New Year lasts until the third day of the first lunar month. In the past four days, everyone has a big feast every day and toasts to celebrate.

However, such extravagant behavior requires enough money to support it. Although Xiao Ding has a lot of spirit stones, he has not yet lost his family to the extent of spending it casually.

A few days of lively New Year's Day, meaning, it is enough. If it is according to the ancient customs, the New Year is a month, and there is a feast every day, and there are dozens of people in the cottage, Xiaoding can't afford to last so long.

However, the three meals a day during the New Year period must be better than usual, at least there will be meat in every meal. Although the number of dishes is a little smaller, it is already very good for the bandits who are used to living a hard life.

After the feast and gathering of these days in the New Year, Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun, who have just come to the cottage, are gradually familiar with everyone.

Since Ou Muyun knew how to refine weapons, Xiao Ding asked them and his wife to be responsible for the refining of the cottage later, and also became one of the deputy owners of the cottage.

Today, the deputy owners in the cottage are all friends and cronies around Xiaoding. The people in the original cottage had the highest positions of the two stupid thieves Li Dazhong and Zhang Erfeng that Xiao Ding knew at the beginning.

In fact, the cultivation of these two people has reached the seventh level of Qi cultivation, and they are even higher than the cultivation of several friends around Xiao Ding. It's just that although these two people are born with cultivation talents, their IQs are not very high.

One of the two of them is nicknamed Li Damabang, and the other is Zhang Erzhuzi. Looking at the nicknames of the two of them, you can see that they are not very clever lords.

Xiao Ding arranged for the two of them to be the team leader. There were about fifty bandits in the original cottage, and Xiao Ding divided them into two teams, so he let Li Dazhong and Zhang Erfeng be the captains of the two teams, and let them lead their respective teams to carry out the tasks assigned by Xiao Ding.

The reason why it was divided into two squads was to facilitate internal competition. For example, when working, the same task is assigned to both teams, and the two teams compete to do it, so that the labor efficiency can be improved.

If there is no competition, everyone is there to grind, and that will affect the fruits of labor.

In the same way, it is the same when cultivating, everyone is the same starting point, if one day so-and-so is surpassed by the people around him, then he will definitely secretly try to catch up with the people around him.

If the team is divided into two teams for comparison, it can stimulate the competitive enthusiasm of the two teams and promote their active cultivation.

When I wasn't divided into two teams before, there were people who fished in troubled waters, and there were people who filled up the numbers indiscriminately, and everything relied on supervision, and individuals had no initiative and enthusiasm.

And now, even at the wine banquet during the Spring Festival, the people of the two teams have to compete for high and low.

Just a few days after the New Year, one day, all the people who had left the cottage before returned.

They met Xiaoding and said that they wanted to return to the cottage and wanted to become a member of the cottage.

These five or six people, when Xiaoding killed the original owner of the village and took over the cottage at that time, several of them said that they were tired of being thieves and wanted to put down the butcher knife and go down the mountain to be an ordinary person.

But they didn't expect that after a few months, they all came back one by one, claiming that they would join the cottage.

When Xiao Ding asked them why, they didn't hide it. It is said that after they left the cottage, they returned to the nearby village, but the villagers heard that they were bandits, and some people even saw them rob in person. As a result, all the people in the village took the initiative to distance themselves from them.

They wanted to cultivate some land and become ordinary villagers.

However, no one in the village wants to sell their land to them, and if they want to farm in the village, they can only open up the land themselves.

Just when they were in a difficult situation, just when they were buying New Year's goods in the market a few years ago, they met several thieves led by Li Tianliang who went to the market to buy.

When they learned that the new owner of the village did not ask the thieves to go down the mountain to rob, but was ready to open up the wasteland and farm in the valley, they were also moved.

Look at the ox cart driven by Li Tianliang and a few people, full of all kinds of New Year's goods, and the few of them have this in their hearts.

I also heard that now in the cottage, three meals a day are free of charge, and they can be full, and several of them regret leaving the cottage.

Therefore, they have the idea of returning to the cottage again.

However, Xiao Ding looked at a few of them for a long time, and was thinking in his heart, should he take them in?
