Chapter 145: Dragon Boat Race
"Sister-in-law Xu, are you at home?"
When Mrs. Xu watched Fu Bao doing sports with great joy, there was a greeting from outside.
"In early summer, you look at Xia Fubao!"
Mrs. Xu did not interrupt Fu Bao's movement, but called the little girl to help her keep an eye on it, and she went out of the door and into the courtyard.
At this time, Xu's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou, had already opened the courtyard door and was talking to someone.
It was Guan Yuping's daughter-in-law, Mao, who lived next door to Lao Xu's house.
"It's my brother and sister, what's the matter?"
When Mrs. Xu saw Mao, she walked over with a smile.
"Mother!"
Zhou took a step back and asked Mrs. Xu to talk to Mao, "You talk to Aunt Mao, I'll go and watch Dabao and Sanbao." ”
"Go, go!"
Mrs. Xu waved her hand.
Zhou immediately saluted Mao, and then retreated.
"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 major event in Anshun County.
It is held in the middle of the year every year, and basically every village sends a boat to the race.
Of course, not all village dragon boats make it to the finals.
At least their Lingshui Village has been eliminated in the preliminary round for ten consecutive years.
"Go, definitely go!"
Listening to Mao's talk about the dragon boat race, Mrs. Xu slapped her forehead, and she almost forgot about it.
This year's old Xu family is really eventful, but most of the things are happy events. But even if it is a happy event, when there are many such things, it is inevitable that many things will be overlooked.
For example, Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er have been busy with family affairs, either the buying and selling of horse-drawn carriages, or the things in the restaurant, but they have forgotten about the dragon boat race.
Both brothers and sons are the main fighters of the dragon boat race in Lingshui Village.
"Brother and sister, I'm sorry, it's too much to do!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mao a little apologetically, "I'll let the eldest and second go to your family Yuping when I go back, this year, why do we have to rush to the finals in Linshui Village, right?" ”
"That's for sure!"
Mao nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law Xu, then, I'll go home first!" ”
"Cheng, Cheng, I'll send you!"
Mrs. Xu sent people out of the alley outside her yard, and then turned back to the house.
"It's all about it!"
Mrs. Xu has a big head.
If it was something else, she might have refused. But this dragon boat race is refusal.
The dragon boat race is related to the glory of a whole village. If you can break into the finals, the village dragon boat can get a reward of 20 taels of silver, and the champion of the final will not only have a reward of 100 taels of silver, but also reduce the amount of labor that the village needs to bear by 50%.
If the old Xu family wants to gain a foothold in Lingshui Village, they must integrate into the village.
I think that at the beginning, Mr. Xu and her first came to Lingshui Village, and Mr. Xu relied on his strategic vision and ability to help Lingshui Village win the dragon boat race championship for five consecutive years, so as to completely take root in Linshui Village.
It's a pity that Boss Xu and Elder Xu failed to inherit their father's business and inherit the glory of Old Man Xu.
But it's really no wonder that the brothers, after the older generation of dragon boat racers in Lingshui Village retired, few of the younger generations could get on the stage.
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 holding back a lot of energy up and down. Everyone is gearing up, waiting for a chance to be humiliated.
As a result, a group of people from the old Xu family almost forgot about it.
If it weren't for Mao's door-to-door question, they were afraid they really wouldn't have remembered.
