Dai Guopei's watermelons are sold very quickly and life passes very quickly. It is about June 25th, which is the annual Dragon Boat Festival.

This year, due to the special circumstances, I have been going to pay New Year’s greetings for a long time. In fact, the New Year was over at that time, so it cannot be said that it is a New Year’s greeting.

However, the Dragon Boat Festival is also an important festival. With Wu Fei and others, the son-in-law of the Dragon Boat Festival has to go to worship the Dragon Boat Festival to his father-in-law and mother-in-law on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is more important than the Mid-Autumn Festival.

With the Dragon Boat Festival still a few days before, my mother-in-law called Kang Liu and arranged the matters for the Dragon Boat Festival early.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Wu Fei and Kangliu rushed to the home of their father-in-law and mother-in-law in the county. After having breakfast at home, they drove to Kangliu's uncle's house to pay the Dragon Boat Festival together.

In fact, it is relatively simple to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in Wu Fei and his village. They just make some rice dumplings by themselves and then go to their relatives. Because the village is not close to the river, they do not have the habit of rowing dragon boats.

However, Kang Liu's uncle's house is close to the river. Every year, the village organizes a dragon boat team to participate in the town's organization to win the dragon boat competition.

Although the village does not organize a dragon boat brigade, on the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone will still run to the river to watch the dragon ball competition.

However, when Wu Fei and his friends were studying, they were a little different from now. There was no holiday on the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was not like now. It took three days to spend.

However, at that time, some students in Wu Fei and his class would secretly go to watch the dragon boat competition, and Wu Fei was one of them.

Of course, after watching the dragon boat race, I always can’t escape the punishment of my class teacher. One day after the Dragon Boat Festival, there will always be a series of people standing in the back row of the classroom.

In fact, Kang Liu's uncle had long told Wu Fei that he wanted Wu Fei to go to the dragon boat team in their village to help him row the dragon boat.

This year, the dragon boat competition organized by the town found several wealthy bosses to sponsor it. The first place was 60,000 yuan in cash, the second place was 30,000 yuan, and the third place was 20,000 yuan.

There are no rewards behind them. Anyway, as long as you participate, there are all rewards. However, Wu Fei only remembered the rewards from the top three and did not go to inquire afterwards.

However, although the conditions are much better than before, the dragon boat competition is much larger than before, but Wu Fei feels that his current level is much worse than when he was a child.

During Wu Fei's junior high school period, although many people went out to work, every member of the Dragon Boat Team was a young man in his twenties or thirties, and he looked very strong.

Although the formation now seems to be much larger than before, its real level has dropped a lot. Just like the dragon boat team in his uncle Liu Yongxing’s village, Wu Fei went to the place where they trained when he went to see it once a few days ago.

The dragon boat team is about 30 years old, and only half of them are young and strong. There are 25 people in a dragon boat team, and less than half of them are young.

Most of the people are in their forties, and even their uncle Liu Yongxing is actually a substitute for the Dragon Boat Team.

So when Wu Fei sent watermelons to Liu Yongxing to the dock, he knew that Wu Fei was Liu Yongxing's niece's son-in-law, and several people asked Wu Fei to join the dragon boat team in their village on the spot.

In principle, the dragon boat race organized by the town is not allowed to be invited to be substitutes, but one situation is OK. Those who are related to Wu Fei can join the dragon boat team.

However, although Wu Fei had some strength, he still did not agree to join their dragon boat team in the end. In fact, the strength of dragon boat racing is a very important factor, but more importantly, it depends on the cooperation of the team members.

Only when the overall strength and strength difference is not too great can a good team be able to achieve good results.

Wu Fei had never rowed a dragon boat before, just gave Wu Fei a canoe. If he rowed too fast, in addition to spinning in place, he would also capsize.

Now Wu Fei uses a convenient water tool, that is, bamboo roulette, and it is a bit difficult to ask Wu Fei to go boating dragon boats.

Dragon boats are different from ordinary boats, and they are of the same size. And dragon boats in one place are different.

But in general, the dragon boat is narrower and narrower than ordinary ships, and the bow is usually made into the shape of a dragon head and the stern is made into the shape of a dragon tail.

Moreover, the size of dragon boats in different places varies greatly. When Wu Fei was in Shenzhen before, he saw the local dragon boats that were more than 30 meters long, and there were at least 70 dragon boaters on the boat. That was the longest dragon boat Wu Fei had ever seen.

The local dragon boats like Wu Fei and others are only more than 20 meters long. Wu Fei heard from the old people in the village that there were rules to build dragon boats in the past. Each dragon boat was 22 meters long, and there were 36 people on the boat's radiator and drummer.

However, the dragon boats are much smaller than those in the past. When Wu Fei went to deliver watermelon last time, he asked Liu Yongxing that the dragon boats in their village were 16 meters long and there were 22 people on the boat.

This is the rule that has been re-established in recent years. All villages participating in dragon boat competitions have built their own dragon boats according to this specification.

Now many villages along the river can no longer afford to organize a dragon boat team. Many villages have two villages joined forces to form one team, or two villages have two teams, one youth team and one elderly team.

The main reason is that almost all the strong laborers in rural areas have gone out to work in recent years, and few of them stay in the village to develop, so traditional programs like dragon boat racing are increasingly unable to find people to produce additional products.

Of course, the youth team may not be all young people, and there are people in their forties. However, the elderly team is really the elderly team. Most of them are people who are almost fifty, and even those over fifty are not even young people. There are no young people like Liu Yongxing. They can only report to the elderly team.

On the first day of the competition and on the day of the competition, special personnel will come to check the dragon boat. If the dragon boat ratio meets the standards, you will not be able to participate in the final ranking.

Although they were also allowed to row dragon boats before, these dragon boats set off two minutes later than those who were qualified for the competition, and they could only start when others rowed far away.

This is also a fear that when we set off together, these unconforming dragon boats finally reached the first place, and then when we received the prize, they were changed and were gossiped by people who didn't know the truth.

In the early years, there would be some accidents in every dragon boat competition, and there would be fights several times.

However, I have never heard of such a thing in recent years. It may also have a lot to do with the older people who are playing in the production and competition. Older people are always not as impulsive as young people.
