"Sister Xu, are you at home?"
When Mrs. Xu looked at Fubao doing exercises very cheerfully, a greeting came
from outside.
"Early summer, you look at Fubao!"
Old Mrs. Xu did not interrupt Fubao's exercise, but called the little girl to
help her stare, and she went out of the room and into the yard.
At this time, Mrs. Xu's wife Zhou had already opened the gate and was talking
to someone.
It was the Mao clan, Guan Yuping's daughter-in-law, who lives next door to the
old Xu's house.
"It's younger brother and sister, what's the matter?"
When Mrs. Xu saw Mao, she smiled and walked over.
"mother!"
Zhou took a step back and asked Mrs. Xu to talk to Mr. Mao, "You are talking
to Aunt Mao, I will look at Dabao and Sanbao."
"go Go!"
Old lady Xu waved her hand.
Zhou immediately paid a salute to Mao, and then retired.
"Sister-in-law Xu, I came to ask you, will you go to the dragon boat race next
month?"
Dragon Boat Race.
It is a great event in Anshun County.
It is held every year in the middle of the year, and basically every village
sends a boat to compete.
Of course, not all dragon boats in the village can enter the finals.
At least their Lingshui Village has been eliminated in the preliminary rounds
for ten consecutive years.
"Go, definitely go!"
Hearing Mao's talk about the dragon boat race, Mrs. Xu patted her forehead,
and she almost forgot about it.
This year’s old Xu’s house was really eventful, but most of the things were
happy events. But even if it's a happy event, it's inevitable that a lot of
things will be overlooked when there are too many things.
For example, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu have been busy with family affairs, either
buying and selling horse-drawn carriages, or things in restaurants, but they
have forgotten about the dragon boat race.
Both brothers are the main fighters in the dragon boat race in Lingshui
Village.
"Brothers and sisters, sorry, there are too many things!"
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Mao's apologetically, "I will ask the boss and second
child to find your Yuping when I look back. This year, why should Linshui
Village make it to the final?"
"That's for sure!"
Mao nodded in agreement, "Sister Xu, then, I will go home first!"
"It's done, it's done, I'll give it to you!"
Old Mrs. Xu sent people out of the alley outside her house, and then returned
home.
"It's all about it!"
Mrs. Xu is a bit big head.
If it's something else, she might refuse. But this dragon boat race is
irresistible.
The dragon boat race is related to the glory of an entire village. If you can
make it to the finals, the village dragon boat will be rewarded with twenty
taels of silver. The champion in the finals will not only receive a hundred
taels of silver, but even the taxes and duties that the village needs to bear
can be reduced by 50%.
To establish a foothold in Lingshui Village, the old Xu family must integrate
into the village.
At the beginning, Mr. Xu and her first came to Lingshui Village. With his
strategic vision and ability, Mr. Xu helped Lingshui Village to win the dragon
boat race championship for five consecutive years, thus completely taking root
in Linshui Village.
It is a pity that Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu failed to inherit his father's business
and inherit the glory of Mr.
But this is really no wonder the brothers, the older generation of dragon boat
racers in Lingshui Village retreated, and few of the descendants can get on
the table.
Dragon boat racing is not a game of one or two people, but a game of a group
of people.
After ten years of silence, Lingshui Village was struggling up and down.
Everyone is gearing up, waiting for a chance to be ashamed.
As a result, a group of people in the old Xu family almost forgot about it.
If it weren't for Mao's question, they would really not remember it.
