"Sister-in-law Xu, are you at home?"
When Mrs. Xu watched Fubao doing exercises with great joy, a greeting came from outside.
"Chu Xia, look at Fu Bao!"
Mrs. Xu did not interrupt Fu Bao's movements, but called the little girl to help her keep an eye on him while she walked out of the room and into the yard.
At this time, Mrs. Xu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, had opened the courtyard door and was talking to someone.
It was Guan Yuping's daughter-in-law, Mao, who lived next door to old Xu's house.
"They're siblings, what's the matter?"
When Mrs. Xu saw Mr. Mao, she walked over with a smile.
"mother!"
Mrs. Zhou took a step back and asked Mrs. Xu to talk to Mrs. Mao, "You tell Aunt Mao, I'll go look at Dabao and Sanbao."
"go Go!"
Mrs. Xu waved her hand.
Mrs. Zhou immediately bowed to Mr. Mao and then withdrew.
"Sister-in-law Xu, I came here to ask you, will you go to the dragon boat race next month?"
Dragon Boat Race.
It is a major event in Anshun County.
Held every year in the middle of the year, basically every village sends a boat to compete.
Of course, not all villages’ dragon boats can advance to the finals.
At least their Lingshui Village has been eliminated in the preliminary rounds for ten consecutive years.
"Go, definitely go!"
Hearing Mrs. Mao talk about the dragon boat race, Mrs. Xu slapped her forehead, and she almost forgot about it.
This year is really eventful for the old Xu family, but most of the things are happy events. But even if it is a happy event, when there are too many things, it is inevitable that many things will be overlooked.
For example, Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao Er have been busy with things at home, either the carriage business or things in the restaurant, but they have forgotten about the dragon boat race.
The two brothers are the main competitors in the dragon boat race in Lingshui Village.
"Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry, there are too many things to do!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Mao apologetically, "I'll ask the eldest and second eldest brother to find your Yuping later. This year, our Linshui Village has to make it to the finals, right?"
"That's for sure!"
Mrs. Mao nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law Xu, then, I'll go home first!"
"OK, OK, I'll give it to you!"
Old Mrs. Xu sent the people out of the alley outside her courtyard, and then returned home.
"It's all a matter of fact!"
Mrs. Xu has a big head.
If it was something else, she might have refused. But this dragon boat race was impossible to refuse.
Dragon boat racing is related to the glory of an entire village. If it can reach the finals, the village dragon boat will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. The champion of the finals will not only receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver, but also have a 50% reduction in the taxes and duties borne by the village.
If the old Xu family wants to establish a foothold in Lingshui Village, they must integrate into the village.
Thinking back to when Mr. Xu and she first came to Lingshui Village, Mr. Xu relied on his strategic vision and skills to help Lingshui Village win the dragon boat racing championship for five consecutive years, thus completely taking root in Linshui Village.
It is a pity that Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu failed to inherit their father's business and inherit Mr. Xu's glory.
But this is really no wonder for the two brothers. After the older generation of dragon boat racers in Lingshui Village retired, few of the descendants could compete on the stage.
Dragon boat racing is not a game for one or two people, but a game for a group of people.
After ten years of silence, everyone in Lingshui Village was filled with energy. Everyone is gearing up, waiting for the opportunity to avenge their past humiliation.
As a result, a group of people from the old Xu family almost forgot about this matter.
If Mr. Mao hadn't come to ask about it, they might not have been able to remember it. (End of chapter)
