90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 253 Dragon Boat Festival

 The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival.

 The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals in China. It is a major folk cultural festival that integrates worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits, good luck and health, celebrating entertainment and food.

  The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival covers ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects. Due to different cultures in various regions, the details of customs also vary.

 There are many legends about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.

There are commemorations of Qu Yuan, commemoration of Wu Zixu, commemoration of Cao E, Summer Solstice Festival of the Three Dynasties, Wuyue National Totem Sacrifice Festival, etc... The legend of Qu Yuan has the deepest and widest influence.

It is said that during the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of the Chu State, witnessed the Chu State being invaded and invaded by enemy troops. His heart was cut by a knife, but he could not bear to abandon his motherland, so he committed suicide by bouldering into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Later generations mourned and commemorated Qu Yuan, so they designated the fifth day of May every year as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.

In May 2006, the Dragon Boat Festival was included in the first batch of "National Intangible Cultural Heritage List" by the State Council.

In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved that the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival be included in the Representative List of Human Intangible Cultural Heritage. That is to say, the Dragon Boat Festival became the first Chinese festival to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage.

 The Dragon Boat Festival culture has a wide influence in the world, and many countries and regions also have activities to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

 Since ancient times, there have been festival activities in China such as dragon boat racing, offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, and eating rice dumplings.

Pingcheng’s annual dragon boat race is the most significant feature of traditional cultural festivals.

When Bai Lu, Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Wei set off, gongs and drums were beating in the street, and enthusiastic people gathered around the lion dance team to go to the riverside. From time to time, firecrackers were heard among the people, and the people were laughing and chatting, making it very lively.

Today is a sunny day, the sun is rising high, the sky is blue and white, the sky is clear, and the river breeze is blowing gently.

 Forty-five participating teams have gathered on the banks of the Guijiang River to encourage each other on the green grass.

 Family, relatives and friends who cheered for him had already come to the new town, strolled around the small streets, bought some candied roasted chestnut snacks, and went to the riverside to watch the dragon boat race together.

 Dragon Boat Festival, everyone has a holiday.

Boys and girls who have devoted their youth to school, acquired knowledge, and paved the way for the future can finally stop writing and give their tense brains some time to relax.

 Celebrate the festival with joy, watch the games with passion, and cheer for the team you support.

 “Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng!”

 “Look, look, look! Brother Cheng is here!”

 “Our new town’s championship team is here!”

The young people in the new town were so excited that they cheered loudly when they saw Xiao Cheng, and quickly made way for the championship.

Yesterday, only five or six people could pass through the entrance and exit. Today, it has been widened to allow more than ten people to pass side by side.

The thorny grass surrounding the entrance and exit has also been trampled to dregs by the excited people. As far as you can see, it is all the entrance.

 Outside the bamboo forest and by the river, there were children playing under the supervision of adults, and old people in simple clothes were discussing which team would be the champion this year.

The young and energetic people are red-faced as they fight for the final winner of the Dragon Boat Race.

No matter how poor life is, festivals will always ignite the enthusiasm in people's hearts and make them forget their worries.

“Brother Xiao Cheng, Bai Lu, wait for me!” Wang Cuihua caught up from behind, holding a small bag of melon seeds in her hand and wearing colorful new clothes that stunned passers-by.

　Passers-by gave way one after another.

Bai Lu was very lucky to see that Xiao Cheng was given melon seeds for the first time in his previous life.

“Brother Xiao Cheng, these melon seeds are delicious, fragrant and crispy. Try them quickly!”

Comrade Wang Cuihua completely ignored Bai Lu and Xiao Wei. She held a bag of fragrant melon seeds she had just bought in her hands and sent them to Xiao Cheng, looking at Xiao Cheng expectantly.

Passers not far away stopped to watch out of curiosity. Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are husband and wife, and everyone in New Town knows that.

 The outsiders who came to compete did not know the situation, and they also ignited small flames of gossip in the few words of discussion around them.

Xiao Wei thought that his eldest brother would definitely not want Wang Cuihua's melon seeds, but the next second, he never expected it.

 The eldest brother actually accepted Wang Cuihua’s melon seeds in public.

 Then...gave it to my sister-in-law!

He also said to his sister-in-law in a doting tone that even a deaf person could hear: "Eat melon seeds."

Bai Lu glanced at Wang Cuihua's struck by lightning expression, and smiled tactfully: "Thank you for the melon seeds."

Of course, we should be more grateful to the boss who sent melon seeds. Bai Lu pinched a melon seed and gave it to Xiao Cheng.

After tasting it, Xiao Cheng commented: “It tastes good.”

Wang Cuihua: “…”

 Did Bai Lu do it on purpose?

Deliberately took her melon seeds in front of her, peeled them open and gave them to Brother Xiao Cheng, deliberately to make her angry! !

　　The onlookers were served an appetizer before watching the dragon boat race and ate it up in a second.

 This melon is too big to be eaten in one bite.

 Let’s save it for watching the game and eating with friends.

After Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu parted ways and walked to the New Town Dragon Boat Team, Wang Cuihua immediately ran over.

“Bai Lu, I’m going to your house for dinner tonight!”

"No." Before Bai Lu could speak, Xiao Wei decisively refused on her behalf.

Wang Cuihua ignored the refusal: "When I went out, I took a chicken and threw it through the wall into your yard. That is my dish tonight. I am going to your house for dinner tonight. I also made the rice dumplings. After watching the dragon boat race, I Just take it to your house and I’ll spend the Dragon Boat Festival with you.”

After hearing the first sentence, Xiao Wei's eyes widened in disbelief: "You threw the chicken into our yard?"

After Wang Cuihua nodded in confirmation, Xiao Wei looked angry and collapsed: "What should I do if the chicken is running around in the yard and pooping!"

Wang Cuihua was stared at innocently, and explained: "I tied my feet, so I won't run around."

 Pooping is for sure.

Xiao Wei was so angry that he ran around in circles: "Big brother hates the dirty house. If you go home and see chicken droppings in the yard, you will definitely be so angry that you will explode. If you still want to eat, just wait until big brother throws you and the chicken out!" "

Wang Cuihua was frightened by this terrible consequence and looked anxious and at a loss: "What should we do?"

“What else can we do? Go back and catch the chickens and clean the yard, otherwise we are all finished.”

The old hens and chicks raised by Xiao Wei are kept in the backyard and are not allowed to step into the front yard.

Wang Cuihua actually dared to throw the chicken into the yard. Xiao Wei really wanted to spit fire and roast the chicken.

Bai Lu was also speechless with Wang Cuihua. In order to stay for dinner, she actually threw the chicken into someone else's yard in advance.

Everyone has a brain, but she is the best and hits the muzzle every time.

Bai Lu glanced at the dragon boat team that was ready on the river, and sighed helplessly: "Let's go back first."

Wang Cuihua did something bad with good intentions, but she was frightened and panicked, so she immediately turned around and walked back.

Xiao Wei blocked Bai Lu from walking back: "Sister-in-law, please give me the key. Sister Biao and I will go back. The game is about to start. Brother will be anxious if he doesn't see you. You can stay and cheer for brother. ”
