"Uncle Xu, please tell us about your experience of winning five consecutive championships!"
Yue Lianshan was the first to jump off the dragon boat and said with a playful smile, "My dad is at home. He just talks about how great he was back then. Can you tell me, is he really so great?"
"You brat, your dad is holding your eldest nephew over there, be careful he comes over and slaps you!"
Mr. Xu slapped Yue Lianshan on the shoulder with a playful smile.
Yue Lianshan chuckled and squatted aside obediently.
Others filed off the boat, squatting or standing.
The dragon boat race in Anshun County uses small dragon boats. After all, it is a village-based event. It is not an easy task to recruit young and capable paddlers.
Including drummers, gong players, and helmsmen, there are nineteen people in total.
The drum is the order and the rudder is the destiny.
During the dragon boat race, the drummer beats the drum to drive the rhythm of the paddlers, and the helmsman controls the direction. They must cooperate with all their strength. The slightest mistake may lead to complete defeat.
Yue Lianshan is the gong player and the flag bearer.
The eldest Xu is the drummer, while the second eldest Xu is the helmsman, controlling the direction.
The three of them play absolutely important roles on the dragon boat, and they are also roles that take a lot of effort.
As for the remaining sixteen rowers, they were divided into two rows in the dragon boat and rowed according to Boss Xu's drumbeat. As long as the rhythm was not chaotic and the output was stable, it was basically stable.
But if someone messes up the rhythm a little bit, it may affect the overall situation.
Mr. Xu looked at the familiar young men in front of him, clapped his hands, gathered everyone's attention, and said, "Do you want to win?"
"think--"
Everyone answered in unison, the voice was quite loud.
Mr. Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"In the past few days, I heard people say that someone from another village sent a matchmaker to our village to cause trouble!"
"I don't want to find out whether this is true or not!"
"After all, everyone has to live for themselves!"
"There's nothing wrong with thinking about yourself."
"But, what I want to tell you is that in order to be a good person and do things, you must first stand up for yourself!"
"As the old saying goes, if there is a plane tree at home, the phoenix is bound to come."
"I won't go into details about what this means, you all know it!"
"No matter whether you are marrying a daughter or a wife, if you can't stand up for yourself, can you really live a good life?"
"Think about it yourself!"
"Also, our Lingshui Village has not reached the finals in ten years!"
"This year is the last year!"
Mr. Xu raised his finger and pointed at Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu, "If our village is the same as before this year, my family will never get involved in this dragon boat race again!"
"I can't afford to lose this man!"
"For the dragon boat race in our village, my family's carriage business changed hands. I'm not afraid to tell you that this business is really profitable!"
"But my boss, Mr. Xu, is not vague at all!"
"Why? Just so that our Lingshui Village can achieve good results. Let our Lingshui Village become the leader of these eight villages!"
"When you get a wife, you can not be looked down upon by others!"
"When our daughter from Lingshui Village gets married, can she choose a husband according to her heart so that her husband's family will not dare to look down on her!"
"Even if you agree to someone else's conditions and agree on a marriage, can't he regret the marriage?"
"Be careful!"
Mr. Xu glanced at everyone's faces, and when he saw a few of them looking ashamed, he understood that what Mr. Yue said was true.
However, he did not name them.
In this life, people will always make mistakes, but if they can change, they will be good children.
He plans to take a gamble! (End of chapter)
