"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.
