Yan Xiao looked at Zhou Zhi and sneered: "Wearing a straw hat, are you going to swim the Yangtze River?"

What Yan Xiao was talking about was also an old "word" from Jiachuan, which is a joke. It says that as long as you put on a straw hat, anyone can swim immediately.

Because even if the person has sunk, the straw hat is still floating on the river, and people on the shore cannot see it.

"Get out!" Zhou Zhi laughed and scolded: "Where did you drift down from?"

"From Caiba!" Hua Ting was very excited: "I originally had some eggplants and cowpeas, but the tire overturned halfway through."

As expected, it is the true nature of a wild boar, and thieves will never make short work of it.

Zhou Zhi took off his straw hat and put it on Zhang Xiaoyu's head: "You can't compare with the rest of us. Your baby will definitely shed its skin tomorrow."

From Zhou Zhi to Yan Xiao Huating, they were all pond fish. They spent long periods of time playing on the banks of the Chishui River in the Yangtze River in the summer, and the tanned skin they acquired was not completely faded even after a winter.

Zhang Xiaoyu has been with his mother for a long time and has been well taken care of. Now he has just joined the wild boar group. Just like the Yorkshire white pig, you can tell at a glance that they are not the same breed.

Zhou Zhi's fading is also more serious than that of Yan Xiao Huating, because his cousin who is a Chinese medicine doctor has taught that you can only go swimming in the river after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he has not gone into the water this year.

I don’t know exactly why, but just listen to the doctor.

There was already a flow of people on the street, and they all gathered towards the riverside pier. When they arrived at the riverside, there were already several boats in the center of the river to maintain order. The piers on the shore were crowded with people, and there were probably no less than 100,000 people gathered at the pier.

Such a grand scene will no longer be seen in future generations.

When Zhou Zhi, Yan Xiao and others came to the riverside, they couldn't even find a place to sit and could only stand.

Looking around, there were all densely packed heads, and I didn't know where Jiang Shuyi and the others were now.

It was my mistake. I told my mother yesterday, and she said that if she had known in advance, she could have arranged for the girls to watch the dragon boat race on the ferry. The person in charge of the ferry management office was also a classmate of her and her father.

Zhou Zhi asked why you had never made arrangements for me before?

Mom doesn't want to pay attention to Zhou Zhi at all. I'm afraid it will delay you in grabbing the rice dumplings.

This incident actually shows that Jiachuan is now ruled by my parents and their generation.

"Dong dong dong dong..." The drums on the dragon boat rang, and the loudspeaker on the barge also started to beep, but the wind on the distant river was so strong that it was hard to hear what was being said.

Soon, four dragon boats formed a formation.

The crowd on the shore was nervous and excited, the game was about to start.

"Bang!" A puff of white smoke came from the top of the barge. This thing is still an old thing. I don't know where the cannon was moved from.

The sound of the drums suddenly became intense and full of rhythm, and white waves raised by the oarsmen appeared on both sides of the four dragon boats. They cut through the waves and flew towards the opposite side in the fast and muddy river water.

On the high dragon on the bow, there is a flagman leaning diagonally, waving two small flags in his hand, matching the drum beat of the big drum in the middle. There is also a helmsman at the rear and stern, dragging the long rudder to control the direction of progress.

The four dragon boats rowed towards the opposite bank at a very fast speed, and the surging river water also rushed them downstream at the same time.

The end point is on the river beach below the White Pagoda on the opposite bank, and a sloping track is drawn out from the New Highway Pier.

"Dong dong dong dong..." If you listen carefully, the dragon boat has passed the middle of the river, the skilful fleet, and the drum beat has begun to speed up slowly.

A dragon boat with a yellow dragon head slowly emerged from the four parallel teams. Although the three behind them tried their best to catch up, the gap was gradually widened.

Near the end, the drum sound suddenly changed its pattern, the frequency suddenly doubled, and the oarsmen changed from one drum and one oar to two drums and one oar.

The flag bearer's movements also changed, from the simple pushing and retracting just now to a complicated dance.

Morale instantly exploded!

The shouts of the rowers changed from the previously suppressed "Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey" to the high-pitched "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Even the roaring river wind can no longer suppress this unrestrained passion!

Dash!

The crowd on the shore also got excited, cheering crazily for their favorite fleet.

From the barge opposite, a melodious whistle sounded in the distance. The members of the fishing team were all veterans, and they were the first to cross the finish line.

This is just a preliminary round, only the first place will be left.

Then came the second batch and the third batch.

Twelve teams will select their seed players after the first round, and the finals will be the highlight.

This is actually a bit unfair, because rowers have different lengths of time to rest and recover.

The boat must first row upstream against the current, and then come over from the other side.

During this preparation time, the crowd on the shore started talking about which team would win the championship.

The remaining three teams are the agriculture and forestry team, the fishery team, the second fishery team... ah no, the individual industrial and commercial team.

The fishery system's talent resources are really rich. One team is divided into two teams, and they can both enter the top three.

Wang Dakun from Class 4 is a fisherman at home. According to him, his father can swim across the Hongshui River carrying a fishing net weighing more than ten kilograms on his back, and can hold his breath while working underwater for more than two minutes. It is true that most people cannot compare.

The final finally began. As soon as the three fleets set off, it became a competition between the fishing team and the individual industrial and commercial teams. The agriculture and forestry team obviously lacked stamina and the drum beat was slowed down.

But this cannot be blamed on the drummer. The drummer is the on-site coach. He can only adjust the rhythm according to the condition of the players. If he ignores it, the effect will be even worse.

The progress of the red dragon and yellow dragon has also changed. Just now in the preliminaries, they were basically accelerating evenly. Now, as soon as the oarsmen paddle, the dragon boat obviously moves forward.

Both sides have exerted their full strength, and the game has entered the final heat!

The two dragon boats dropped their oars at different times, so the competition became a situation of biting each other and taking the lead alternately.

"Come on! Come on, industrial and commercial team!" Zhou Zhi was also excited by this fierce scene. He naturally sat on the side of the industrial and commercial team and shouted along with the crowd around him, without thinking about whether others could hear him.

The competition in the river was fierce, and there were shouts and shouts on the bank. Needless to say, the lively atmosphere.

The two teams were entangled and rushed towards the White Tower. The agriculture and forestry team behind them had been pulled off a hull.

"Woo--" The barge on the opposite side blew its whistle twice again. The time interval was very short, and the two teams almost crossed the finish line at the same time.

"What the hell..." Zhou Zhi was so anxious that he almost jumped: "Who won?"

"Did the Industrial and Commercial Team win?" Yan Xiao, the captain of the team, calmly analyzed the match: "The last move should have fallen to the Industrial and Commercial Team."

Sure enough, I saw the fierce drumming sound again from the red dragon boat opposite. This time it was no longer the rhythmic one, but a chaotic drum full of celebration and joy.

The oarsmen also raised the pulp in their hands and cheered. The flagman also stood up from the bow of the boat, threw down the small flag and replaced it with the big flag, shaking it out. Five stars could still be vaguely seen on the hunting red flag.

A simple point.

Needless to say, the words above must be "Individual Industrial and Commercial Team".

"Win!" Zhou Zhi also jumped and cheered.

The individual business team participated in the dragon boat race for the first time and won the championship!

Although this is a small thing, it can be seen from this small thing that the vitality and ability of this emerging class and group in the country can be seen.

Next, they will become an indispensable part of the national economy and create greater achievements and glory!

Next came the mass activities. People on the shore began to surge and ran towards the barge on the river. Baskets of rice dumplings were already placed on the boat, ready to be thrown away.

A wooden post also protruded diagonally from the bow. A small boat came under the wooden post and hung a duck cage on the top of the wooden post.

Hua Ting threw the tire to Zhang Xiaoyu and ran down with Yan Xiao: "Little Yu'er, follow up quickly. We will be responsible for grabbing it later, and you will be responsible for riding on the tire to collect it! It's faster than they can get ashore!"

"Give me back the straw hat first!" Zhou Zhi quickly took off the straw hat from Zhang Xiaoyu's head and kicked Zhang Xiaoyu on the butt: "Hurry up! Why are you moving so slowly?!"

"Aren't you going?" Zhang Xiaoyu turned around and asked as he ran down holding the tire.

“I’ll be more advantageous to you this year!” Zhou Zhi shouted with a smile, “I still have to go home and cook!”

In fact, there was nothing left to do with the rice. After passing the braised pork stall on the old street, Zhou Zhi started picking out the meat.

In fact, braised pork is how it is called outside. Jiachuan still calls braised pork "roasted pork".

Roast pork is harder than braised pork. After cutting it, it is mixed with spicy oil, peanuts, ginger, onion and garlic. Zhou Zhi thinks it is much more delicious than simply braised pork.

There are only a few things that are not mixed, such as duck, ribs, and sausage.

I cut up a portion of pork head, a portion of walnut meat, and half a duck, and the total was only seven yuan.

When you get home, blanch the water spinach and put it in cold water to keep it green. Slice the white meat and add two seasonings, one without sugar for the vegetables and one with sugar for the meat. It's ready.

Chop the remaining water spinach stalks, take out the kimchi and chop it into pieces, and the ingredients for the stir-fried side dishes are ready.

The cucumbers soaked in the morning are just right now. Take them out and cut them into pieces. Add two pieces of shredded pickled ginger. No seasoning is needed. It will be delicious when added to the porridge.

"Zhou Zhi?" Zhang Xinyi's soft shout sounded outside.

"Come in, I'm cutting the watermelon!"

It's only four o'clock now, and grandma and mother haven't come back yet. Zhang Xinyi led his classmates in: "Hey, where is the pigeon cage?"

"The pigeons have gone to the fourth floor, and the pigeon cage is useless." Zhou Zhi said, "Go sit in the living room and eat watermelon."

Ye Xin came over quickly: "I'll help you carry the plate."

Mu Ruyun asked: "Has the monk arrived?"

"Not yet, it should be soon."

"Your family is nice." Mu Ruyun smiled.

"Come on, I don't dare to compete with your big family." Zhou Zhi and Ye Xin placed two large enamel plates of watermelon on the coffee table, and Mu Ruyun immediately slapped them back.

Not all rural families are as difficult as Yang He's family. Ye Xin's and Mu Ruyun's families are both doing well.

Ye Xin's family runs a hotel in Fubao Town, but providing accommodation is not its main business. The main business is the teahouse on the ground floor and banquet reception.

That's a wooden building owned by the boss.

Mu Ruyun's family was in the timber and tea business. When the two met and chatted for the first time, they talked about the family's housing for some reason. Zhou Zhi asked Mu Ruyun at that time: "Old Mu, how many square meters does your house have?"

Mu Ruyun was stunned: "In terms of acres, my homestead is one and a half acres."
Chapter completed!
