On Zhu Ji's side, after eating, it was not early, and Ji Xiu, who was used to taking a nap, lay on Yuan Ning's lap and was already drowsy.

Yuan Ning said to everyone, sent her back to sleep first, and when she came out, she found that only Su Heting was drinking water in the hall, and the rest were gone.

"They've all gone to rest," Su Heting smiled and explained to her, "In order to prepare for today's event for you, these little guys have not bothered a lot. ”

"Well," Yuan Ning took the opportunity to sit down across from him, "my younger siblings are very sensible. ”

"That's also because you lead by example and set an example well," Su Heting praised, and then asked, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and after the arrival of Su County's order, a dragon boat race will be held every year, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Where?" Yuan Ning used to live in the north, and in those years there was drought and little rain in the north, at most it was a dry land dragon dance, and she really hadn't seen the dragon boat race on the spot.

"It's at Liuye Lake in the west of the city," Su Heting explained, "and this year there are 20 dragon boat teams participating, and it's very lively." ”

Liuye Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Tianqing County, just outside the western suburbs of Tianqing County.

Yuan Ning thought about it, the Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and there must be a holiday in the school, just take my younger brothers and sisters to have a good time, but there is one point, "What should I do if I get lost in this string of dolls?" ”

"I'm not afraid of this," Su Heting helped her solve the problem, "Dragon Boat Festival, most people go back to watch dragon boat racing, there won't be so much business in the shop, just leave two people to watch the store, and the female workers can also have a day off."

"When the time comes, you hand over the children to someone you can trust, and I will also take a place for you in advance, as long as you don't run around, it's no problem.

"You can hand over Ji Xiu to Aunt Zhang to take care of, she is getting older day by day, she is quite heavy-handed, you may not be able to hold it."

This is also a method, and Yuan Ning has no objections.

Su Heting also proposed: "You can prepare a little melon and fruit snacks in advance, as well as water to drink, so as to save the time when children are gluttonous, and if you want to say that something happens, it is easy to have an accident at this time." ”

Yuan Ning nodded in response, but there were no seasonal fruits now, and the peaches were coming down soon. You can buy some cherries, and you can also put a plate of strawberries from the yard.

Su Heting saw that she was seriously thinking about this matter, so he got up and said goodbye, "I still have some things to do over there, so I'll go first." ”

Yuan Ning sent him to the door, just when he saw Beimang coming in a hurry, with some anxious look on his face, obviously something was wrong.

Su Heting turned around and asked her to stay, and said to her again: "Happy birthday." Only then did he turn to meet Beimang, and the two talked in a low voice as they walked.

Yuan Ning stood in place for a while, watched the two walk away, closed the door and went back.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, yesterday the shopkeeper Qin told the female workers that they would have a day off, and the guys are the same, he and Mr. Fang stayed to watch the shop, and the rest of them can arrange their own time at will.

In this era, there is a lack of entertainment activities, and people love to watch the excitement, not to mention that dragon boat racing is indeed very beautiful.

Yuan Ning got up early in the morning and urged his younger brothers and sisters to change into new clothes, tied colorful ropes around their wrists, and put Pu Ai in the door, dressed up beautifully and went out.

Her own little days have gone, only three days, and now she is refreshed.

The weather during the Dragon Boat Festival in May was already very hot, she took a few umbrellas and brought a fan, and Aunt Zhang carried a basket with all kinds of snacks in addition to holding Ji Xiu.

But walking on the road, Yuan Ning still bought a colorful windmill for Ji Xiu and Shuyu each.

Without waiting for her to ask, Bo Zhong and Zhong Ling waved their hands and said that they didn't want to.

Not long after they walked out, they met Beimang, saying that they were sent by Su Heting to pick them up, and escorted them all the way to Liuye Lake.

There are also several pavilions by Liuye Lake, all of which were built after Su Heting arrived.

During the safety period, around the Liuye Lake, they were all blocked with hemp ropes, so as not to let the tourists and spectators cross the line, so as not to fall into the water, and there was an officer and soldier guarding at a distance.

Those who can enter the pavilion are mostly the ladies of large families, and the rest of the people are almost crowded in the open space, those who come early can pick a shade, and those who come late can only bask in the sun.

In addition, there is a temporary high platform for the officials of the county government.

It is here that the Su County Order gives the order to announce the start of the dragon boat race, and after the event, the prize is awarded to the dragon boat team that wins the first prize.

In order to ensure the safety of the county magistrate, there were no onlookers near the high platform.

Beimang directly took Yuan Ning and the others to the vicinity of the high platform, and as soon as he waved, someone temporarily built a small platform and set up an awning.

If you stand high, you can see far away, even if there are some people around the lake in front of you, but it is not enough to block their view.

Yuan Ning didn't think it was good, after all, it was too close to the high platform of the county lord.

Beimang said: "It's okay, just rest assured." ”

In fact, this small platform is still some distance from the high platform, and it is not very high, the height of most people.

But Zhu Ji's people are all here, and they can protect the safety of children to the greatest extent.

Another rich man who came late saw it, and hurriedly ordered someone to follow it and set up a platform, which was higher than theirs, so that Zhu Ji would not be prominent.

Only then did Yuan Ning put his mind at ease.

Shu Yu jumped happily, and pointed here for a while and shouted: "Look, the candy blower!" After a while, he pointed over there and said, "There are also tea sellers!" ”

With such a big bustle, of course, the vendors have to see the opportunity to make a few bucks, and most of them are selling snacks and toys in the crowd.

Of course, there are too many people, and there will inevitably be some fishing in troubled waters.

The Su County Order was prescient, in addition to the officials and officers and soldiers wearing official uniforms on patrol, there were also plainclothes people mixed in the crowd to deal with emergencies at any time.

At the beginning of the day, the willow leaf lake was crowded with people, and the voices of people were boiling.

After another moment, the gong opened the way, and the Su County Order came.

Yuan Ning had never seen the rumored county master, and together with his younger siblings, he stretched his neck curiously.

Bo Zhong rubbed his eyes, "Eldest sister, how can I see that the one who got out of the sedan chair is a bit like Brother Su?" ”

Yuan Ning was silent, and watched Su Heting, who was wearing a seven-grade official uniform, looking more and more outstanding, and his extraordinary skills slowly walked up to the high platform.

Zhong Ling stood on tiptoe for a long time and muttered, "That's right, it's him." ”

Bo Zhong didn't know what mood he was in now, in short, he didn't expect that the person who often went in and out of his house and acted as a master to answer questions and solve his doubts turned out to be the commander of Su County in this county!

But after thinking about it in a flash, I think it is reasonable, after all, it is rumored that Su Xianling is a prodigy, and Brother Su is also so omniscient.
