Four years ago, Yu Jinghui was still a sixteen-year-old little Niangnong (girl), at the age of twenty-eight, and she was also a girl who was about to leave the cabinet in the boudoir; In that era, if you didn't get married after eighteen or nineteen, you would become an old girl, and it would be difficult to get married.

Jinghui's family is on the most prosperous East Street in the county, her father opened a private school, and she is a teacher, and her mother does business on the shop on the street, wholesale and retail fabrics or tailor-made clothes.

Although the family is not rich, but it is also a rich family, the atmosphere in the city was early and enlightened, Jinghui followed her father to learn literacy and memorize scriptures since she was a child.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, Jinghui became a beautiful lady with a bright and moving temperament.

The Yu family has a girl who has just grown up, and the clouds want to dress and flowers; The threshold of the family is about to be trampled by the matchmaker, which makes Jinghui's mother dazzled.

At that time, the marriage contract of children was ordered by their parents, and Jinghui only knew that someone came to propose marriage, but she didn't know whose family it was, and she was embarrassed to ask her mother.

On the Dragon Boat Festival of that year, everyone was busy wrapping zongzi and steaming zongzi, hanging mugwort leaves, etc., after lunch, Xiu'e next door came to call Jinghui and said that they would go to Shuinan to watch the dragon boat race together.

Shuinan to the South Street, facing the Fengxi River, this big river gathers the streams of the southeast mountains, passes through the entire county, passes by the county seat, all the way to the west to Shangrao, joins the Xinjiang River, and finally plunges into the big embrace of Poyang Lake together.

The "Diary of Jiang Youyou" in "Xu Xiake's Travels" said: "...... The two Guangxin have not stopped...... There is a spiritual stream in the east of the city, and the water of the spiritual mountain is discharged; There is Yongfeng Creek in the west of the city, and the flow of Yongfeng is noted (note: Guangfeng was named Yongfeng in ancient times)...... Life expectancy, the country is like yesterday, can it not make people think of candles! Another twenty miles to the mouth of the lead mountain river...... There is water at the mouth of the river that originates from the southeast water dividing pass, passes through Leadshan County, and enters Daxi ......"

East Street is not far from South Street, looking at someone as a companion, Jinghui and Xiu'e are best friends from childhood to adulthood; Besides, my daughter is too old to hold it in my hands all day.

Jinghui's mother acquiesced, and the two girls held hands and chattered like two magpies, walking all the way from East Street to South Street.

For Jinghui, she has been walking these roads for more than ten years and is very familiar, but when she grows up, her family will not let her go out alone.

Therefore, most of them follow their families and rarely come out to play by themselves, but today, Jinghui is naturally happy to be able to come out by herself.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the county will carry out dragon boat races on the river surface of Shuinan, and all streets, squares, and nearby townships and villages will invite the dragon boats out of the ancestral hall in advance, repair, and renovate tung oil.

Then began to gather strong men and young people, team training, in the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago, you can often see everywhere on the water, there are dragon boats paddling training.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, it can be lively, setting off firecrackers (firecrackers), beating gongs and drums, waving colorful flags, and the core program is, of course, dragon boat racing.

The dragon boats are lined up on the river, and the men on each boat are wearing short-sleeved shirts of a uniform color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white, holding oars, full of energy.

When the cannon rang out on the shore, hundreds of boats competed for the current, and the sound of the trumpet shook the sky, the men who rowed listened to the drumbeat on their boats, moved in unison, and rowed hard with their heads down. After a while, everyone's heads were covered with water, and they couldn't tell whether it was splashing river water or their own sweat.

As long as the drum does not stop, everyone can not stop, at the beginning of a drum to row out a distance, the dragon boats almost go hand in hand, can not distinguish the obvious sequence, to the middle of the time, the test is endurance, at this time, the boat boss who beats the drum on the boat will pull his throat and roar:

"May 5th"

"Hi ——!" , the rowers shouted and said, and the audience on the shore will also follow suit, and the sound will shake the sky.

"It's the Dragon Boat Festival"

"Hi ——!"

"The dragon boat is launched into the water and makes a long river"

"Hi ——!"

"Jing Qu Yuan"

"Hi ——!"

"It's a man"

"Hi ——!"

"For the country and the people, I am not afraid of death"

"Hi ——!"

……

This kind of earth-shattering trumpet pushed the people on both sides of the strait to a climax, and also greatly invigorated the spirit of the rowers, who trained so hard some time ago, in order to be able to show the beauty of strength and the pride of collective glory in front of the fathers and villagers today.

Due to the incessant hard stroke, the paddlers gradually began to feel tired, but now it is time for the last sprint distance, which tests everyone's endurance and final explosiveness, so there is no longer a trombone, it is all a rapid cornet:

"Hi Yo", "Hi Yo", "Hi Yo", "Hi Yo" ......

The drums are getting denser and denser, but the drums and trumpets around and the trumpets on the shore are sounding fiercely, and the drummers (also known as the boat boss) are afraid that the men on their boats will not hear their drums, so they beat the drum face hard.

In order to be more powerful, some drummers even jumped up on the small boat, smashing the drumsticks in their hands so hard that the audience on the shore became more and more thrilling and exclaimed.

In fact, at the final sprint, the rowing men could no longer distinguish where the drum beat of their own boat was, and in the noise, they all buried their heads and worked hard, desperately rowing the oars in their hands.

It wasn't until the moment when the dragon boat crossed the finish line that everyone was so tired that they collapsed on the boat, unable to speak, and the throat of the boat boss was also torn, and he commanded everyone to row back to the shore in a dumb voice, beating the drum with weakness in his hands, indicating that everyone still had energy.

No matter who wins or loses, as long as a dragon boat rows back to the shore, it will receive cheers from the people on the shore, and the rowing men will shout loudly at this time.

Some collectives used wooden oars to make a sound when they hit the boat gang; Some hit the water, splashing bursts of water; Some simply jumped into the river and splashed water on the shore, causing screams on the shore......

Jinghui and Xiu'e were splashed with water to disperse the flow of people in this way, and suddenly a "big water" rushed up from the bottom up, pouring Jinghui's head and face full of water, which made Jinghui stunned.

When Jinghui reached out to wipe the slag on her face, she found a rowing man, standing on a shallow beach, unreasonably holding a big water scoop, scooping the water and splashing water into the crowd on the shore.

Jing Hui, who wiped her face, still had water beads on her face, as quiet and elegant as a hibiscus out of the water, and the man who splashed the water had straight eyes and stood stiffly on the shallow water beach.

Like a dream, time stops turning at this moment, and only the exciting girl on the opposite side is left between heaven and earth; After a long time, the teammate next to him pushed the man who splashed the water, but he hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't know when the water scoop in his hand fell into the water.

Seeing this water-splashing man like a stupid goose, Jinghui couldn't help but smile; A smile is alluring, and the whole world has become your smile like a flower.

At this time, Xiu'e also came over, and the clothes on both of them were a little wet with water, and the girl's family was embarrassed, so she quickly turned around and went home to change her clothes.

The descendant named "Pan Shengda" who was left standing in the water looked straight at their backs for a long time before coming back to his senses.
