Chapter 145

"Sister Xu, are you at home?"

When Mrs. Xu was looking at Fubao's sports with great joy, a call came from outside.

"Early summer, you look at Fubao!"

Instead of interrupting Fubao's movement, Mrs. Xu called a little girl to help her stare, while she went out of the room and into the yard.

At this time, Xu's daughter-in-law, Zhou, had opened the door of the courtyard and was talking to someone.

It's Mao, the daughter-in-law of Guan Yuping, who lives next door to Lao Xu's house.

"It's sister-in-law. What can I do for you?"

When Mrs. Xu saw Mao, she walked over with a smile.

"Mother!"

Zhou stepped back and asked Mrs. Xu to talk to Mao. "You talk to Aunt Mao. I'll look at Dabao and Sanbao."

"Go, go!"

Mrs. Xu waved her hand.

The Zhou family immediately saluted the Mao family, and then retired.

"Sister Xu, I've come to ask you, will you go to the dragon boat race next month?"

Dragon boat race.

It is a grand event in Anshun county.

It's held in the middle of the year every year. Basically, every village will send a boat out.

Of course, not all the dragon boats in the villages can make it to the finals.

At least their Lingshui village has been eliminated in the preliminaries for ten consecutive years.

"Go, surely!"

Listening to Mao's talk about dragon boat race, Mrs. Xu almost forgot it when she patted her forehead.

This year's Xu family is really eventful, but most things are happy. But even if it's a happy event, it's hard to avoid neglecting many things.

For example, old Xu and old Xu have been busy with their family affairs, either the business of horse racing carts or the business of restaurants. On the contrary, they forget about the dragon boat race.

Both brothers are the main players of dragon boat race in Lingshui village.

"Brother and sister, I'm sorry, there are too many things!"

Mrs. Xu looked at Mao with some guilt. "I'll let the eldest and the second go to find your Yuping. This year, how can our Linshui village reach the final, right?"

"That's for sure!"

Mao nodded and agreed, "sister Xu, I'll go home first!"

"Yes, yes, I'll see you off!"

Mrs. Xu sent people out of the alley outside her courtyard, and then she turned around.

"It's all business!"

Mrs. Xu has a big head.

If it was something else, she might have refused. But this dragon boat race, it is refused.

Dragon boat race is related to the glory of a whole village. If you can reach the finals, the Village dragon boat will get a reward of 20 liang of silver. The winner of the final finals will not only get a reward of 100 liang of silver, but also get a 50% reduction in taxes and levies that the village needs to bear.

If Lao Xu's family wants to have a foothold in Lingshui village, they must integrate into the village.

At the beginning, Xu and her first came to Lingshui village. With his strategic vision and ability, Xu helped Lingshui village win the Dragon Boat Race Championship for five years in a row, so he took root in Linshui village.

It's a pity that old Xu and his second son failed to inherit his father's career and his glory.

However, it's really no wonder that after the old generation of dragon boat racers in Lingshui village retired, few of their grandchildren were able to get 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, Lingshui village is full of energy. Everyone is rubbing their hands and waiting for a chance to be shamed.

As a result, the Xu family almost forgot about it.

If it wasn't for Mao's coming to ask, they wouldn't really remember.
