Chapter 152: Dragon Boat Race
Soon, it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
On this day, Zhao Kangcheng's family changed into new clothes, and after meeting Zhang Mu and Li Yuan, the group set off to the town.
Since Zhang Mu and Li Yuan helped Cai Xiaoxiao manage the hot pot restaurant, the life of the two has been getting better and better, some time ago, the two also demolished the place where they originally lived, and then bought a new piece of land, rebuilt two houses, and now the two live in a house. Although the house is not as spectacular as Cai's small house, it is also a good tiled house, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a small courtyard at the back.
It is said that because of the house, the two of them almost spent all their savings, but the two of them didn't care, after all, as long as Cai Xiaoxiao didn't dismiss them, the two would not be afraid of running out of money. Because of this, now some families in the village have begun to inquire about them and want to marry their daughters to them.
However, the two of them are not in a hurry now, Zhao Kangcheng once asked the two of them about this question, and the two said with a smile: "We want to be like my brother and sister-in-law, find someone we really like, so now we don't want to get married casually." ”
Zhao Kangcheng listened, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Whatever you want, as long as you feel happy." ”
When he came to the town, he unexpectedly saw Zheng Yi in the store, Cai Xiaoxiao was speechless and asked, "Why are you here?" Why don't you stay with your family during the holidays today, why are you here with us? ”
"I'm here for Brother Zhao." Zheng Yi said with a smile.
"Looking for me? Something? Zhao Kangcheng looked at him suspiciously and asked.
"Brother Zhao, you were also invited to participate in the dragon boat race, right?" Zheng Yi asked him.
"Hmm."
Seeing Zhao Kangcheng nodding, Zheng Yi smiled and said, "I was also invited, so we may be opponents today." ”
Zhao Kangcheng: "...... So? He still didn't understand what Zheng Yi was looking for him.
"That's why I'm here to encourage you." Zheng Yi smiled and patted Zhao Kangcheng's shoulder.
Zhao Kangcheng and a few people: "......" Why did they see it from Zheng Yi's smile? Make them feel the urge to hit him.
Does he think he will win or does he think Zhao Kangcheng will definitely lose?
When the dragon boat race was about to start, Cai Xiaoxiao asked both stores to close the doors, and then a group of people went to watch the dragon boat race together to cheer for Zhao Kangcheng by the way.
"Here, here, brother and sister, here." Thanks to the blessing of Boss Wang, they booked a seat early in a teahouse by the river where the game was held, which can also be regarded as an excellent place to watch the game.
"Boss Wang." A few people came to the railing of the teahouse, where Boss Wang and a few people were sitting waiting for them, "Thank you so much." Cai Xiaoxiao sat down and thanked them.
"You're welcome." Boss Wang smiled, "I heard that Brother Zhao also participated in the competition?" ”
"Hmm." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded, "Li Zheng in our village specially invited him to participate." ”
While everyone was chatting, suddenly there was a deafening drum sound below, and a few people looked down and saw several dragon boats already standing in a row on the river.
"Here we go." Boss Wang took a sip of tea and said.
"Hmm." After searching for a group of people, Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes settled on Zhao Kangcheng in a blue race uniform on the blue dragon boat, he stood in the middle, his eyes were resolute, and he looked full of fighting spirit to see Cai Xiaoxiao smile slightly.
Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli also found him, and the two, as well as Zhao Wu and Zhao Jie, both shouted at him: "Big brother/master, come on!" "They still learned the word "come on" from Cai Xiaoxiao.
However, the people around listened to it with a puzzled face: Come on? What's that word?
Zhao Kangcheng heard Zhao Kangqiang's voice, looked up, and then saw Cai Xiaoxiao who was lying on the railing and waving at him, so he smiled slightly and waved at her.
The race began, and with a drum, all the dragon boats quickly rowed up and rowed towards the target finish.
As they began, the people on the shore began to cheer for them with all their might.
The shouts and drums resounded almost throughout the sky, and the blood in people's bodies couldn't help but boil for this game.
The competition lasted for a whole hour, and when the competition ended, Zhao Kangcheng's dragon boat unfortunately only won the fourth place, while Zheng Yi's dragon boat won the second place.
Because the reward for the second place happens to be the pastries of the small town house and the coupon for being able to go to the small town house for three days to eat hot pot for free, Cai Xiaoxiao needs to come to the stage to present the award.
When Cai Xiaoxiao put the pastries and coupons in Zheng Yi's hands, Cai Xiaoxiao whispered to Zheng Yi without smiling: "What more coupons do you want?" It's always free to eat. ”
Zheng Yi smiled dryly: "Ehe, hehe......"
The dragon boat race began lively, the lively end, and so on, the river also returned to a calm, and in the evening, people began to hold celebrations in the town again, and some people put lanterns on the river, it is said that one is to mourn Qu Yuan, and the other is to pray for their own blessings.
Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng walked hand in hand along the river, looking at this grand scene that could only be seen on TV, Cai Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, Zhao Kangcheng saw it and asked her, "Do you want to put it?" He thought that Cai Xiaoxiao also wanted to put lanterns.
Cai Xiaoxiao originally wanted to shake her head and say that she had no wishes to make, but when she saw Zhao Kangcheng beside her, she suddenly thought of Zhao Kangcheng's imperial examination after the year, so she nodded: "Okay." ”
Soon, Zhao Kangcheng bought a lotus lamp and a set of paper and pens for her and handed them to Cai Xiaoxiao.
Cai Xiaoxiao saw that there was only one copy, so he asked, "Xianggong, won't you let it go?" ”
"Hmm. I don't have any wishes. "Because what you want most is already by his side.
"Yes." Cai Xiaoxiao didn't care.
When she came to the river, she wrote down her wish on paper, put it on a lotus lantern, and then placed it on the surface of the river and let it float away freely with the current.
After the lotus lantern floated out of a distance, Cai Xiaoxiao stood up and said to Zhao Kangcheng, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Kangcheng took her hand and looked at her, he didn't want to ask, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Daughter-in-law, what wish did you make?" ”
"Secret." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled, "I'll tell you after you take the imperial examination." ”
"Oh." The expected answer, "So, is it related to me?" Zhao Kangcheng couldn't help but guess.
"Hmm." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded, "But I won't tell you the specific content." ”
"Hmm." Hearing that it was related to him, Zhao Kangcheng was already very satisfied, so he didn't ask questions.
Because they wanted to stay in the town to celebrate together, Zhao Kangcheng and the others finally stayed in the town for the night, and only returned to the village together in the evening of the next day.
