Chapter 323 Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival
"And the personal shopping agents are a huge group!" An Songxiang's eyes, hidden behind her mask, were filled with longing.
"The channels and connections they have, if utilized, would be truly astonishing."
"So you want to use these?" An Songyu looked at her sister.
She seemed to see ambition in An Songxiang.
“Why not? It’s a mutually beneficial relationship between us!” An Songxiang replied matter-of-factly.
"Then you need to be careful too!" An Songyu didn't want to discourage her sister, but she still had to remind her:
"You yourself said that trust is key in this group."
"Of course I know that!" An Songxiang was by no means going to be lenient.
After all, although this industry has many difficulties, it's not difficult to make money once you get into it.
It is inevitable that they will be targeted by some unscrupulous people.
An Songyu turned around and continued her facial care routine.
But looking at his younger sister lying on the sofa specifically for changing clothes, he couldn't help but shake his head.
No wonder she insisted on having this in their walk-in closet!
So it turns out she wasn't just planning to change clothes directly in the dressing room!
The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner.
The design plans for Ah Ling's three-acre homestead were ultimately not completed before the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, An Songyu does not plan to work on such an important day as the Dragon Boat Festival.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, An Songyu got up very early.
Once Jian Ziyu and Wang Henian arrived, they quickly set off.
"Is Brother Songlin really going to go dragon boat racing?" On the way, Wang Henian couldn't help but ask again.
An Songxiang, who was driving, nodded affirmatively: "I go every year!"
“In the past, my brother could only join in the fun, but this year he probably did it and even became a substitute player!”
"Huh? He's just a substitute? How did he ever get involved before?" Wang Henian asked instinctively.
I only realized it after being tricked by my friend.
He quickly gave the two sisters in front of him an awkward smile.
"That's pretty much the same as what we're doing now!" An Songyu shrugged slightly, saying it without much concern.
"Taking photos too?" Wang Henian was extremely surprised.
After all, the dragon boat culture in every village in Shuncheng is really important.
Wang Henian and Jian Ziyu both grew up in Shuncheng, but they weren't from the village.
Even so, I was able to spend every year with my parents when I was a child.
Look at their unit's dragon boat team, competing, performing, and racing on the waterways that fill Shuncheng, alongside other dragon boats.
As for more professional dragon boat races, those are beyond the reach of amateur athletes like them.
An Songyu shrugged slightly and smiled, "My family grew up in the city, so we don't actually know much about dragon boats."
"All I know is that those in the village who can participate in dragon boat races have been practicing since they were children."
“Yes, even the children in the village now, when they were still shorter than the drum set, could play a tune!” An Songxiang nodded in agreement.
The people of Jiangcun have gone to great lengths to find a place to practice recently.
An Songyu's family was busy, so they could only see some messages in the Jiangcun group chat.
"Did they start training from a young age?" Wang Henian and the other person couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.
“Of course, you might have a chance to see it today.” An Songyu nodded affirmatively.
"Those little kids can go on the dragon boat today?" Wang Henian and the other man stared in astonishment.
"Of course, but not all of them!" The two sisters in front nodded affirmatively.
But knowing that the two might not be fully aware of the intricacies involved, An Songyu offered a further explanation:
"In Shuncheng, there are two types of dragon boats: one is for boat tours, and the other is for dragon boat races."
"The dragon boats are the ones we can see on the small river we're on now."
"Their performances are mainly for show, displaying the costumes, flags, and drums of each dragon boat to add to the festive atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival."
"But dragon boat racing is different!"
“Small waterways like this are simply not suitable as competition venues.”
ah!
After An Songyu's explanation, Wang Henian and the other man immediately understood.
"No wonder. When I came to watch the dragon boat races with my colleague before, he asked me why there was no sense of competition in the dragon boat races in Shuncheng. It turns out that they are divided into teams."
"Is it the same in your village?"
"Are there people participating in both dragon boat races and dragon boat parades?"
The sisters did not deny this.
However, out of consideration for his older brother, he didn't go into too much detail.
To be fair, their family does have dragon boat athletes.
An Songshu is one of the people in his family who have learned these things since childhood.
An Songrui also learned some of these things when he was a child.
Unfortunately, ever since he went to high school in the city, he hasn't had as much time to practice with his classmates from the village.
So for the past two or three years, he has basically been able to barely become a substitute, just like An Songlin.
However, this year, An Songyu heard that the dragon boats in their Jiangcun village were quite strong.
After all, the Jiangcun people, who have both money and leisure time, can do better and be more focused than before simply by practicing.
But when it comes to the dragon boat races, everyone in Jiangcun is eager to go.
The An family, who didn't have much time, couldn't compete with others and had to stay on the dragon boat.
Of course, it's also because there's a family member here, and they need support too!
An Songyu and his group arrived at a fairly early time.
However, in Shuncheng, dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival is a big event, and even if they arrive early, many people have already taken the good spots around the river.
After searching for a while, the group finally found a spot with a good view that allowed them to watch together.
Then Wang Henian and his companion set up their cameras and began preparations.
Soon, the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers could be heard in the distance.
The crowd, who had been waiting, immediately erupted in cheers.
The cameras were always ready to capture the moment.
As a long, narrow boat arrived on the river, its dragon head, adorned with red flowers, swayed vividly, while colorful flags and parasols fluttered in the wind.
The shrines and altars each have their own unique characteristics.
Wang Henian took photos while his eyes followed the dragon boat.
Before it could even go far away, another dragon boat appeared not far away.
Occasionally, two dragon boats will even compete against each other.
As the water churned, some people laughed, while others cheered.
As time went by, more and more dragon boats appeared, leaving spectators overwhelmed with their variety.
Especially after dragon boats appeared on both sides of the river.
The ensuing fights became an indispensable part of the event.
Occasionally, they might even witness someone on a dragon boat getting so excited that they fall into the water.
One of the dragon boats even showed them a dragon head that had never been seen before.
This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Even the people on the other dragon boats couldn't believe it at all.
