A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Bai Xiao greeted Shen Bohu politely and then strode forward. He bowed to the crowds on both sides of the river bank. First he briefly introduced himself, and then said some words of encouragement to the racers, wishing all the dragon boat racing team members success. Good results. Finally, he slowly raised the flag.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums was even louder, and everyone was holding their breath and waiting for that moment.

Bai Xiao drew down the flag in his hand, and the game officially began!

After receiving the order, more than a dozen dragon boats in the river launched out like arrows on a string.

Everyone's hearts immediately focused on the dragon boat race.

The white waves were flying, the drums on the shore were beating loudly, and the drummers on the dragon boats were also beating the drums with all their strength. The racers paddled with their hands in accordance with the beats of their own drums. Their movements were uniform, and the dragon boats took off directly on the water. Push forward and go straight to the finish line.

The men, women, and children watching the race on the shore kept shouting wildly at the top of their lungs. Some were cheering for the racers in their own village, and some were cheering for all the racers.

In order to let the people know which village the dragon boat belongs to, a colorful flag is tied to the head of each dragon boat.

The dragon boat rowed very fast, and the colorful flags danced in the wind.

Chen Changsheng saw that the people around him were all staring into the river, and they were constantly mumbling, probably hoping that the dragon boat in his village would win the first place.

She was also infected by the strong atmosphere and nervously followed the anxious racing situation.

After a while, someone on the shore cheered, and it was the dragon boat he was paying attention to that arrived first.

"We won! Our village won!"

“Our village also won third place! It’s so exciting!”

The villagers who won the top three were laughing loudly, but there were also different voices in the crowd.

“It’s my fault, the first place is not from our village!”

"This year's first place is very unexpected. In previous years, they were only fourth or fifth at most."

"I heard that their racers this year are all young guys. They are very strong and have been specially trained."

"That's good. I saw it just now. The movements are neat and uniform. This first place is well deserved."

"Our village must win first place next year!"

The top three teams in the dragon boat race all receive bonuses, with the first place receiving 50 taels, the second place receiving 30 taels, and the third place receiving 20 taels.

All contestants also have participation rewards, which are rice, noodles and meat raised by various businesses.

A circle of people have gathered around the stage to register the results of each team. Once the statistics are completed, Mr. Shen and the county magistrate will distribute the rewards on the spot.

After the game, only a small number of people left, and the large group had not dispersed. Everyone wanted to see the exciting scene of bonuses and prizes being distributed.

Shen Bohu and Bai Xiao also walked through a special passage and returned to the passenger ship to wait for the results of the dragon boat race. As soon as they sat down, Manager Wu said anxiously, "Master, it's not good!"

"Master Qin, the game just now was really exciting! We really came to the river at the right time!" Shen Jianing held Qin Tingyu's hand tightly.

She stayed at home every day and rarely had the opportunity to go out. Every year, she had to stay on the passenger ship with Shen Bohu to watch the Dragon Boat Races.

Today was the first time I watched it up close, and I couldn’t hide my excitement.

Qin Tingyu also smiled and said, "It's indeed wonderful. The drum sounds are so powerful! It made my heart almost beat out."

While the two were laughing, Chen Changsheng led Sixi out of the crowd. She greeted Qin Tingyu, "Mr. Qin, the dragon boat race is over, let's go back first."

Qin Tingyu nodded and the four of them separated.

Chen Changsheng led Si Xi toward the outer edge of the parked oxcart to look for his sons, while Qin Tingyu and Shen Jianing headed toward the west pier to return to the passenger ship.

Chen Dafu, Erlu and Sanshou were still selling tofu puddings. The dragon boat race had just ended and a large wave of people were walking out. People passing by after seeing the new stuff crowded over to try it.

"Tofu pudding, iced tofu pudding! Sweet, salty and refreshing, delicious and not greasy." Chen Sanshou yelled desperately.

Shen Jianing is a person who loves to join in the fun. When she saw a layer of people gathered in front of the stall, she turned back to Qin Tingyu and said, "Sister Tingyu, there is food for sale there. Just wait here. I'll be back when I'm gone." Just go straight over.

"This handsome young man, how many bowls of tofu do you want to buy?" Chen Sanshou shouted sweetly.

Shen Jianing was amused by Chen Sanshou's name.

"You have a sweet mouth, so give me two bowls. I'll take the bowls away first and have someone bring them to you later." Shen Jianing took out half a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it on the table. Walking back with two bowls.

Shen Jianing was dressed in silk men's clothing, with a jade ring in her bun, and she readily gave him half a tael of silver. This generous gesture attracted the attention of several people on the dock.

The six people were staring at her face from a distance. They had red lips and white teeth. They looked pretty and looked even smarter and cute.

"Brother Zhang, isn't that Miss Shen?" said the strong man with tanned skin.

"Let me take a look!" Zhang Cailiang followed the coworker's voice and identified it carefully.

"That's right, it's Miss Shen!" The swarthy man nodded firmly.

They carry baggage at the dock every day. Sometimes the Shen family will ask workers on the dock to do any heavy physical work.

Shen Jianing will not stay in the boudoir obediently in the house. She will naturally get to know these people when she goes around the house.

"Why did Miss Shen come here and pretend to be a man if she wasn't staying on the passenger ship? But that outfit is very noble." The dark burly man asked doubtfully.

"Sure enough, it's great to be rich. I don't know when our brothers will get rich. Forget it, let's not talk about this. The dragon boat race is over. Brother Zhang, let's go to Changle Casino to try our luck." Another person suggested.

When Zhang Cailiang heard what the coworker said, his eyes suddenly shone with excitement, "I have a bold idea, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

He had been so unlucky these days that he lost all his hard-earned wages to the gambling house, and instead owed two taels of silver.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think?" the dark, muscular man said blankly.

"Brothers, do you want to get rich? Do you want to be popular and drink spicy food? Do you want to live the life of a master?" Zhang Cailiang finished in one breath.

"Think about it! Brother Zhang, tell me quickly and I will follow you!"

This is what Zhang Cailiang wanted. He smiled mysteriously and continued, "We don't need to go to Changle Gambling House. There is a Golden Bobo right in front of us."

Golden Bobo?

"Where?!" the other five people said in unison.

Has anyone lost money on this pier?

Then you have to pick it up quickly.

Zhang Cailiang pursed his lips in the direction of Shen Jianing, "Here, over there."

"Miss Shen family?" The dark, muscular man was surprised.

Zhang Cailiang nodded.

"The Shen family is rich, but they won't give it to us for nothing. Last time we wanted to raise our wages by two or three, but that damn manager Wu didn't agree." One person said bitterly.

"It is true that the Shen family will not give us money for no reason, but what if I have a relationship with the Shen family?"
