One after another, the remaining dragon boats have also reached the end, and the dragon boat race is over.

Each team slowly rowed the dragon boat towards the shore, and according to the custom, after a while, on the high platform set up in the center of the stands, the prefectural magistrate presented awards to the top three teams.

When the participating college students arrived at the shore, they had to quickly change into a clean straight shirt before they could participate in the awards.

The people by the river also knew this custom, and slowly packed up and left the river and came to the stand.

Wang Yongzhu had instructed Mrs. Ding earlier, boiled two large pots of water, and iced them with cold water, which happened to be warm in the mouth at the moment.

Wang Yongzhu personally put the salt inside, stirred and dissolved, tasted the taste, and nodded only when he could taste the light saltiness.

At this time, Wang Yongzhu estimated that Song Chongjin and they should have already gone ashore, and there was still a little time, so they could change their clothes and trim themselves, and they would be able to come to the stage to receive the award after a while.

Immediately, I asked Mrs. Li's man to send these two large pots of water and two boxes of snacks over, and let Song Chongjin and Gu Zikai put on the mat first.

Mrs. Li's man naturally didn't say anything, Xiao Wu heard it on the side, and said busily: "Uncle is carrying water, I'm carrying a food box, and we won't delay things together." ”

Wang Yongzhu glanced at Xiao Wu, thinking about his cautious and diligent appearance before, and such a positive appearance, he had a number in his heart, so he said generously: "Then it will be troublesome Xiao Wu." ”

Xiao Wulian said that he didn't dare, so he took the food box very neatly and led the way in front.

He had been running errands for several years during the Yulan Festival, so he naturally knew where the students of Evergreen Academy were changing their clothes and resting.

Mrs. Li's man carried two large pots of water and followed.

When I arrived at the place where the students of Evergreen Academy were resting, many people had already sent things over, and the door was also very lively.

In previous years, you could enter as long as you reported the name of the student, but this year, because there are nobles in the capital, there are officials and guards guarding it, all of them have reported their names, and some people shout inside, and when the students or the students' scholars come out, they can only hand things in, but people can't go in.

Li Pozi's man arrived at the door and reported the names of Song Chongjin and Gu Zikai, and the official at the door shouted twice inside, and after a while, Song Chongjin and Gu Zikai came out, and Wolf Hao followed behind with a red face on his face.

They had already changed into clean clothes, Song Chongjin's spirit seemed to be fine, but Gu Zikai's face was a little pale.

Seeing Mrs. Li's man, Wolf Hao couldn't help it first, and pulled Mrs. Li's man: "Dad, Dad, have you seen it?" Our young master and Song Xiucai have made a great contribution today——"

Mrs. Li's man is an honest man, although he also has a happy face, he can only say that he saw it, and he can't say anything else.

Or Gu Zikai asked: "What is this?" Who told you to send it? Did Aunt Li or your younger siblings ask you to send it? ”

Mrs. Li's man hurriedly said: "It's Mrs. Wang who is worried about Song Xiucai and the young master, saying that you have worked hard today, and you have made great achievements and won the first place, and specially asked the small one to bring water, as well as a few snacks, saying that it is to cushion your stomach first." ”

Song Chongjin listened, he couldn't see the black face of joy and anger, and Wang Yongzhu's words, which he could hear, softened a little, and asked a few more words: "Are all the guests who came here today entertained?" It was the first time she had entertained so many guests, and she was so tired that she was worried about what we were going to do. ”

Mrs. Li's man said honestly: "The guests who came today, Mrs. Wang entertained them very well, and the people brought by the wife of Old Man Du's family helped, and there was no mistake at all." ”

Song Chongjin relieved himself at this time, and couldn't help but ask again: "Is my old lady happy today?" ”

Mrs. Li's man suddenly smiled: "The old lady is so happy today, she pulled the wife of Old Man Du's family and didn't let go, praised Song Xiucai, and forced Mrs. Wang to go to the largest restaurant in the city to book two tables of noodles, saying that she would celebrate the two of them in the evening!" ”

The corners of Song Chongjin's mouth couldn't help but curl.

Before he could speak, Gu Zikai was so thirsty that he couldn't bear it, he sweated a lot during the game, and when he arrived at the resting place, there was only a big teapot, and there was only crimson tea boiled from unknown leaves, and there was no tea taste at all.

The most unbearable thing is that so many people, there are only so many cups, and the people who arrive first can't help but drink several cups in one go, and those who are thirsty can't care so much, and other people's cups take over and drink two cups first, and then quench their thirst.

But Gu Zikai has always had a habit of cleanliness, where can he accept it?

So I only endured the smoke in my throat, and I didn't even drink a sip of water.

At this moment, seeing someone bringing water and a matching cup, where can I bear it, I can't care about the image, I took the cup first, motioned to Mrs. Li's man to pour a cup, poured it down, and immediately froze.

A mouthful of water in your mouth is not swallowed, nor is it spit out.

Song Chongjin noticed Gu Zikai's appearance at the moment, and looked over with concern: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Zikai gritted his teeth and swallowed the water, only to reveal a miserable look: "Why is this water salty?" ”

Song Chongjin then understood, while also taking a clean cup, poured a glass of water, and slowly explained while drinking: "This is our old rule in the countryside, if you work in the field, or do heavy physical work, you must put some salt in the boiling white water, so that if you drink it, you will not lose your strength." I guess you're not used to drinking—"

Gu Zikai heard of this theory for the first time, but seeing Song Chongjin drinking slowly, he gritted his teeth and poured another glass and poured it for himself.

After two cups, the taste was numb, anyway, the salt water was also clean, Gu Zikai poured a few more cups, and finally quenched his thirst.

I don't know if it's an illusion or if it's really useful, after drinking this water for a while, Gu Zikai felt that his body didn't seem to be so tired, and his heart, which had been pounding, returned to normal.

Mrs. Li's man hurriedly asked Xiao Wu to hand over the food box: "There is a snack here, Wolf Hao quickly take it and serve the young master and Song Xiucai to eat." ”

Song Chongjin couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wu more: "This is?" ”

Mrs. Li's man hurriedly said: "His name is Xiao Wu, and he was originally to help run errands, but because he was clever, Mrs. Wang asked him to run errands and send some things today." “

On the other hand, he said to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, this is Master Song Xiucai, the father-in-law of Wang Niangzi." ”

Xiao Wu cleverly stepped forward to visit: "Xiao Wu has seen two talented masters!" ”

Gu Zikai only glanced at it and didn't make a sound.

Song Chongjin looked at Xiao Wu and nodded, "Okay, you can go back." There are all women over there, and if there is an errand or something, it will not be convenient for you not to be there. We don't have to worry about it, you just go back and tell the old lady and my lady, then don't book the restaurant, there are many people going today, it's inconvenient, let's go and celebrate in two days. ”

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, right?" You just stay, and I won't want you to pass the word for a while. ”
