After the new calendar, the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

Until now, Dragon Boat Festival is still a very important festival in Jiachuan.

The Yangtze River has risen to the point where it has completely submerged the corner of the stone plate, and the annual dragon boat competition is about to begin.

On that day, there will be no crowds in the alleys, including farmers from several nearby areas, and they will also come. The entire main street is full of people rushing towards the Xinluo Wharf.

The dragon boat team comes from all walks of life in Jiachuan, including the fishing team, urban construction team, agricultural team, and light industry team...

There are also districts and towns with good economic conditions, such as Chengguan Town Team and Rongshan Tianhua Team...

This year, there is another one in the dragon boat team - an individual business team.

This team was organized spontaneously by individual industrial and commercial owners in Jiachuan. Several wealthy industrial and commercial owners of Jiachuan took the initiative to find their father - Director Zhou. Let’s also accumulate a team. Our industrial and commercial system should also participate!

My dad was a little upset. The bureau didn't consider this budget before...

There is no need for the bureau to pay money! What is money-related? As long as Director Zhou takes the lead and sign up for us!

My dad looked at the two guys in front of him, and he really didn't expect this enthusiasm.

Wait a minute, this is not only a matter of money, but also a boat, someone, and training.

This is not a problem. I know that there is a dragon boat in Erli Township, which I only took last year!

The person who said this was the owner of an individual bus team running to small towns.

I am familiar with the way to the water, so I go to the fishing company to dig people!

It was the coal boss who said this.

Why are coal bosses familiar with the water path? Because Jiachuan is located at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, the coal in Qianzhou is placed by land from Loushanguan to Majie Wharf, where it can be sold using the Yangtze River waterway.

So the coal boss is not only the coal boss, but also the ship boss.

My father remembered Zhou Zhi's words and called his secretary. Secretary Zhang, we comrades in industry and business have such enthusiasm for participation, which I think is very worthy of encouragement.

This matter is left to you to organize. We must not only participate in this competition, but also do it well and strive to get a ranking!

Let the people of the whole county see the style of our individual business comrades!

Jiachuan Middle School, girls' dormitory.

Jiang Shuyi wrapped a piece of black translucent glass with a handkerchief and put it in an iron box.

"Shuyi, don't you watch dragon boat racing? I told you it's so lively." Zhang Xinyi said: "If there is no place to eat at noon, go to my house. It doesn't matter."

"I won't look at it anymore. I'm going to take this back and keep it in a beef fish basin."

Zhang Xinyi pursed: "This is just a piece of glass. You still treat him as a treasure. There are so many good things that you should let him give you better."

"Is that so? What good thing does he have?"

"That's too many. He has a can of agate stone found from the pebbles by the river, which is so beautiful; and the golden stones found in the pile of coals, which he said were called 'fool gold';"

"There are also black coal essences, which are not good-looking; but there is a piece of light stone with flowers that is also very beautiful. It was also found in the coal pile, and it is called "Genpo".

"There are also four square calcites and two small glass tubes, which are all drawn from the sand."

"One is golden sand inside, the other is tiny white pieces inside. He said that it is called mica..."

"Anyway, there are so many strange things, and any one is better than yours."

"Xin Yi... what has he sent you?"

"Well..." Zhang Xinyi thought for a while: "There is a dew of words, but the content is quite decadent and old-fashioned. If I don't like it, I won't hang it up."

"What is it?"

"I don't remember, I only remember the last sentence is 'Welcome you to drink and persuade the setting sun, and leave a night light among the flowers'."

"oh."

If Zhou Zhi knew that Song Qi Dada's song "Yu Lou Chun" would be regarded as "depressed and old-fashioned" by Zhang Xinyi, he would be afraid that he would vomit three liters of blood on the spot.

"Or don't leave. Let's go to see dragon boating with Ye Xin tomorrow. After watching us, we will go to Zhou Zhijia to play and see his strange things?"

“…”

"That's it!"

In fact, everyone was not interested in the afternoon class, and they were all discussing tomorrow's major events.

The weather was already very hot, and the cicadas on the paulownia trees outside the window were screaming, which made the heat even more.

The girls all wore skirts, and boys just had short-sleeved shorts. The most popular ones now are NBA jersey vests and European football giants. They are all made of chemical fibers and have to go to Manzhou to buy them.

Making paper rolls has become a troublesome thing. There is sweat under the arms and accidentally blurs the ink of the test paper.

Guzhu

"The popsicle is here!" Zhou Zhi walked into the classroom with two plastic bags.

Popsicles are the way Mr. Qiao has breezes out. Zhou Zhi sold them during the summer vacation. A popsicle first made five cents, but now it can make one cent.

You can't underestimate a penny. If you sell forty pieces a day, it's only four yuan, and you'll be just over one hundred a month. You'll be an ordinary worker for two months.

Mu Ruyun looked at the wax paper of the popsicle on his hand and lamented: "Why are they mung beans again? Does anyone have the milk to be replaced?"

All the boys who got the milk shook their heads and even accelerated the speed of opening the wax paper. After opening it, they licked the popsicles all over again, for fear of being snatched.

In fact, milk is not necessarily better than mung beans, but the price is a little higher.

"What's your elbow?"

"It's good to eat if you want to eat. Other classes are envious of us so much." Zhou Zhi said: "Old Mu, you should be criticized now. Think about it, I was so excited to eat isatis root two weeks ago, but now I'm still picky!"

It was Zhou Zhi's idea to eat popsicles. Zhou Zhi has a refrigerator at home. When summer comes, he will use cold powder and water at home. He will put it into a bag and continue to freeze it. Then he will make the next batch. After getting the total amount, he will take it to the classroom for everyone to eat after evening study.

However, this method is quite troublesome, and after eating it several times, the students disliked the single taste, so everyone decided to pay the price from the class fee, once a week, from Zhouzhi to Chengguanzhen Popsicles Factory, and get the cost price and a one-dollar express fee, so that the summer also sent Sun Damao, who sold popsicles as extra money income.

Since the class pay is paid, it has to be changed to daytime, otherwise it will be unfair to day students.

So eating popsicles once a week to open blind boxes became a group activity in the class.

The whole class of fifty-four people can save four yuan and four yuan if they eat popsicles together.

Everyone calculates this way. As for the extra class expenses due to eating popsicles... who cares about that?!

"Zhou Zhi, Ye Xinshuyi and I have discussed it." Zhang Xinyi said: "After watching the dragon boat ride tomorrow, I will come to your house to play in the afternoon. Can you?"

"When is the time? Let's make an appointment first. I'm afraid that it will be bad if I haven't returned by then."

Seeing that Mu Ruyun's jealous eyes were almost red, Zhou Zhi said, "Old Mu, come too, Yang He will have dinner at my house, and come back for evening self-study after dinner, and just discuss the summer vacation to send you home together."

Mu Ruyun was filled with joy, and her squad leader's airs were still on her face: "If you want to play, you want to play, it sounds so nice."

When I got home in the evening, I found that my dad was drunk and my mom was taking care of him.

"What's wrong with Dad?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"Pre-war mobilization! I met a group of wine fairies." My mother was not angry: "I fell asleep at the wine table, but it was sent by Secretary Zhang."

My dad doesn’t have enough alcohol, but the wine tastes good. He drinks a few glasses and then enters a deep sleep that is unknown to people.

"I was drunk before the war, so I was crazy..." Zhou Zhi murmured to himself: "Where did the paddler find it?"

Speaking of this mother, I found it funny: "Liu Sanhe, who was the boat owner, paid 100 yuan per person and also bought two big drinks at Qianhou County Guesthouse. He almost carried the dragon fleet of the fishery club, and all the fishery parties sued the secretary."

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi also felt funny. Only these small business owners with brilliant ideas can do this now.

"Mom, a few classmates will come to your house for dinner tomorrow."

"Oh, who are they?" My mother didn't feel surprised: "Your dad will definitely not come back tomorrow, so I'll go to Zhao Daniel's house and get a cloth head for my grandmother."

"No need, it's easy to eat in summer, not to mention that all the rice dumplings are wrapped. After eating, we have to go to evening self-study." Zhou Zhi said: "What you have seen are Yang He and Xin Yi. The remaining ones you have never seen are Mu Ruyun, the squad leader of our class, Jiang Shuyi, who I sent her home last time, and Ye Xin, who lives in Fubao Town."

"This summer vacation is our last comfortable summer vacation. Everyone is going to go to Fubao to have fun. It's just right to discuss it."

"Xin Yi is going too? Then you have to do work with Zhao Dalian and take good care of all the girls."

"It's still early. Now I'll count the number of people. Don't worry, other moms. In addition to the work that Zhao Daniel has to do, Jiang Shuyi also needs the consent of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Du."

"Ah yes, I really can't go to your Zhao Daqian's house tomorrow." My mother suddenly changed her words when she heard this: "I just remembered that I'm still in a hurry to get your account book for Sister Liu!"

The next day, the school holiday was on, so Zhou Zhi first went to buy vegetables and bought mugwort and calamus to hang it on the door.

The rice dumplings were cooked on low heat since last night.

When I came back, I first scoop out some salt water, soaked the cucumbers, and threw the watermelon into the water tank to calm down.

In fact, even if you treat a meal in Jiachuan in summer, it is very easy, because it is too hot to eat.

Cold water spinach, water spinach, then stir-fry one with soaked cowpeas, soybeans, minced meat, white meat with garlic, and cut into a braised pork head meat, and a large pot of mung bean porridge.

Add a few more bottles of Coke and beer at most, and that's all.

While cooking lunch, I cooked porridge and white meat, and then used cold water to ice. After lunch, Zhou Zhi also went out with a straw hat.

The third sister had already made an appointment with her classmates to go to the riverside wharf. This year, my mother pushed a wheelchair and took her grandmother to the cousin of traditional Chinese medicine. Her house was on the fifth floor by the river and could comfortably watch dragon boats.

Chengguan Town is so big, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to find your friends. Not long after you left, you saw Yan Xiao, Hua Ting, Zhang Xiaoyu and others.

Several people were naked, their shorts were wet, and Huating also had a tire inner tube hanging on it, which was used as a lifebuoy and drifting raft.

It seems that these boars had already gone down the river to have fun in the morning.

When he saw Zhou Zhi and Zhang Xiaoyu, he shouted: "Zhou Zhi! I won't rob ducks this year? Wear so Zhou Zheng!"

Grabbing ducks and rice dumplings are all activities of the Dragon Boat Festival on the River.

In a few years, all these activities will be gone.
