(Thanks: the "sachet" sent by the Cape Wangtian Cliff.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info begging for subscription, today is Friday again, I wish you all a happy weekend. )
"Xiao Xuan, you go to the room, take a few empty purses and stuff them with wormwood, and my sister will sew the purses together in a while."
"Sister, the wormwood purse for the Dragon Boat Festival, haven't you already done it, why do you still have to make a purse." Yang Xuan remembered that his sister was going to give them a purse for the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was done two days ago, so why should she make a purse today.
"Today there is a dragon boat race, the children who have won the rankings, always prepare some prizes for them, you go and help my sister stuff some wormwood in the empty purse. After I finished cooking breakfast, I went to sew the purses, which could be given to the children as consolation prizes. "These wormwood purses can be used as consolation prizes, and the purses prepared by Yang Yun are very beautiful, although the etiquette is light, but the children will like it. When the time comes, the children who have won the ranking will be rewarded with some good prizes, and Yang Yun plans to rummage through the room for a while to see if there are any good things that can be used to reward the children.
Yang Yun went back to the room after cooking breakfast and sewed Yang Xuan's purse stuffed with wormwood. By the way, from the ornaments, I picked a piece of jade about the size of my index finger, this jade is already an ornament, and the largest piece of jade in it. Yang Yun carefully polished the jade smooth, drilled a small hole with a tool, and threaded the jade with a red thread, so that the jade became a jade pendant that could be worn around the neck, and this jade pendant was used as a prize for the first place in the championship.
The second prize is an inkstone, the third is a brush, the fourth is a headdress, and the fifth is a kite. Yang Yun hoped that the girls would also participate in the dragon boat race together, so she prepared a headdress and a purse.
The kite that Yang Yun found out was brand new, and he bought a few for Yang Xuan last time, and there were two kites that Yang Xuan had not used and were storing them in the cabinet. This time, the time was relatively tight, and Yang Yun couldn't find any prizes, so he took the kite on top for the time being, and then went to the town to buy two new kites and supply Yang Xuan. However, he had to talk to Yang Xuan first, so that he would not be happy to be angry.
The jade pendant that Yang Yun used as the prize for the first place was polished quite beautifully. In addition to the tools for polishing jade, Yang Yun also made carving, hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, rings, and walking tools at one time, it can be said that Yang Yun has a very complete set of these tools on hand, and can make the headdress designed by Yang Yun at any time.
As soon as the three Yang Yun brothers and sisters were having breakfast, the Dabao brothers came to Yang's house to find Yang Yun and them, this is really fun, everyone got up so early. After Yang Yun and the others finished breakfast, they carried the prizes and a small bamboo boat to the river. Yang Yun brought a handful of multicolored threads by herself, which was used to mark the small bamboo boat. Yang Yun also asked Yang Yong and Dabao to carry the family's fishing nets to the river, which needed to be set up on the water downstream to catch the small bamboo boats drifting downstream.
Today, there are only 12 small bamboo boats, and the children have to take turns to race, so naturally they want to fish the small bamboo boats back for use, and put a bunch of small bamboo boats downstream, if they are not fished up, they will definitely block the smooth flow of the river. When Yang Yun and the others went to the river, many children had already gathered by the river, all of them were looking forward to it, waiting for Yang Yun and them, and they really had to play early.
When eating in the morning, grandpa and grandmother looked at Yang Yun and them, tossing these fun things, but they didn't object to Yang Yun and them, but only told Yang Yun that they should be careful when they go to the river to play, take care of the children, and don't fall into the water. Yang Yun naturally assured her grandfather and grandmother that she would pay attention to safety.
"Children, everyone works separately, the older children, help Dabao and Yang Yong carry the fishing nets downstream, and then go to cut a few bamboos and put the fishing nets on the water surface downstream, which will be used to block the drifting small bamboo boats for a while." In that group of children, there were a few people who were about the same age as Yang Yong, and they listened to Yang Yun's words and started to help with the work.
For those younger children, Yang Yun asked them to look at things, and told them not to go near the river, or go to the river to play in the water. Yang Yun ran home by herself, took a small notebook and charcoal pen, you can register the results of the competition, Yang Yun also cut a few small red cloths out, ready to make a few small flags out, small flags can be used as a conductor or referee.
The children in the village all ran to the river to play, and soon attracted the adults, and when the adults arrived at the river, they learned that the children were preparing to hold a dragon boat race. This aroused the curiosity of the adults, and they all wanted to know how Yang Yun's dragon boat race was held. Yang Yun looked at more and more adults, walking towards the river, and suddenly felt that "Yali is so big", it was just an entertainment activity for children, and adults also came to join in the fun.
What made Yang Yun even more speechless was that Kong Zhongkan and Dr. Xu, with Kong Tianyou and his family's servants, also came to the river to watch the excitement. Although Yang Yun is very helpless, today's dragon boat race will be held as scheduled. Soon everything was ready, and Yang Yun loudly announced the rules of the competition.
"Children, everyone will line up for a while, in a group of five people, each person will take a small bamboo boat, and then come to me to get the colorful thread, and each of you will tie the colorful thread you get to the small bamboo boat. Everyone should identify their small bamboo boat and what color color line is tied. After a while, the small bamboo boat will be put into the water, and whoever has the small bamboo boat drifting downstream first and setting up the position of the fishing net will be the first.
All the people who win the first place in the group competition will compete again until the final victory, and the child who wins the first place will be the champion of our dragon boat race. Do you understand? Yang Yun read the rules of the game aloud, and the explanation was very clear.
"Understood." The children answered Yang Yun's question aloud.
"Okay, now let's talk about the prizes for the rankings. The prize of the winner is a jade pendant, the person who wins the eye is an inkstone, the person who gets the flower is a brush, the person who wins the fourth place is a headdress, and the person who wins the fifth place is a kite. Don't be discouraged if you don't get the place, as long as you are a child who participates in the dragon boat race today, everyone will get candy or a purse, and you can choose one of these two consolation prizes. "Candy and purses are consolation prizes, and each child is free to choose one prize.
"Wow... Yes... When the children heard that the prize was so good, they all cheered, and some of the children even danced and jumped around. Yang Yun looked at the smiling little faces, and also smiled happily with the children.
"Well, can I participate in the dragon boat race?" Zhou Limin, who was standing on the side, suddenly interrupted the children's laughter.
"No, you're not a child anymore."
"That's right, Brother Limin, you are an adult, you can't compete with us for prizes." Before Yang Yun could speak, the group of little radish heads unanimously opposed Zhou Limin's participation in the competition. They think that Zhou Limin is much older than them, and he will definitely win them in a while. Zhou Limin is fifteen years old this year, this age is indeed a bit old for this era, and some people may be married and adults at this age.
And Zhou Limin was embarrassed by a group of small radish heads, and he could see two patches of blush on his ancient paulown-colored face. Everyone thought that Zhou Limin saw that the dragon boat race was fun, and he also had the idea of having fun. But in fact, only Zhou Limin himself knew that he was going to the purse when he participated in the competition.
"Okay, okay, as long as people who are not married are children, Brother Limin will participate in the competition together. Today, as long as it is a child in Zhoujia Village, anyone can participate in the dragon boat race, including girls, as long as everyone wants to participate in this competition. Yang Yun helped Zhou Limin relieve the siege and mobilized the girls to participate in the event.
"Xiao Yun, girls can also participate." Xiaoqiu heard Yang Yun's words and asked about Yang Yun. The girls thought that this was only a game that boys could play, but they didn't expect Yang Yun to ask them to participate too.
"Of course, we girls are not children, of course we can participate, boys and girls are the same, anyone can help the family work, make money to support the family, the girls in our village are amazing people, so today's dragon boat race, we girls also have to participate." The girls in Zhoujia Village earn money to support their families, but they are not lost to men.
"Hehe, Yun girl has a point, girls are also children, so the children will participate in the competition together." Kong Zhongkan spoke out in support of Yang Yun's decision. Isn't Yang Yun just a girl, her ability is obvious to all.
Kong Zhongkan is a gentleman respected by the villagers, and with him speaking out to support Yang Yun, the villagers naturally did not dare to oppose Yang Yun and invited the girls to participate in the dragon boat race. The adults thought that it was a bit wild for girls to participate in such activities, but the gentlemen said that they could participate, and the adults would not object to it anymore.
And the group of girls were a little flattered when they heard that their husband supported them to play together, and everyone could see the joyful expressions on their faces.
"Okay, the rules of the competition and the prizes have been clarified, and now we will arrange personnel to work. Zhuzi, you and my eldest brother and Brother Dabao, the three of you went to the place downstream, stood in the position of setting up the fishing net, and were responsible for registering the small bamboo boat, and the ranking of the last arrival. When you register your results, you can fish the small bamboo boat out of the river. The pillar then sent the small bamboo boat that was fished up to the upper stream. Brother Limin, this small flag is given to you, and after a while, you will stand upstream and be responsible for shouting, and let the small bamboo boat go down the river. Yang Yun stood by the river to arrange work.
"Yun girl, today's dragon boat race is for children to play, and the work of fishing bamboo boats and registering results will be handed over to the adults." Kong Zhongkan suddenly gave Yang Yun an idea.
"Yes, you children go play together, and I'll go downstream to help you fish for bamboo boats." Just to register the grades, you have to find a literate one. Uncle Li, who was standing on the side watching the excitement, heard Kong Zhongkan's words, and hurriedly stood up and took over the work of fishing for bamboo boats. It's just that Uncle Li can't read and write, so he can't do the work of registering grades, so he said a little embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
