The sacrificial offerings on the shore were divided up one by one. My great uncle couldn't help but take a sip of wine, causing my great uncle's grandmother to pull his ears and scold him.

The man who usually looks cold and dignified now looks as cowardly as Sihai.

"I've told you so many times not to drink, and you still drink!"

My uncle's grandmother has a kind face and speaks slowly, and she likes to speak in a long tone.

He has a very good temper and has never been angry with these younger generations.

He's talking quite fluently now.

Er'er watched with a smile, after all, it was rare to see his uncle make such a fool of himself.

"Look, preparations for the first batch have begun."

Xu Yiyi patted Er'er's little hands and reminded her.

People of Sihai's age were in the first round of the speed competition. There was a large group of little kids of similar age on the shore, all laughing and cheering from time to time. Sihai was very eye-catching among them.

Tender and white.

"Sister——"

Sihai noticed Xu Yiyi's gaze, jumped up and waved in response.

"Warm up."

After Xu Yiyi called out, Sihai obediently patted his legs, twisted his waist, and turned his shoulders.

The people around him were a little curious when they saw his strange behavior.

As the drums sounded, children jumped into the water one after another, forming a large crowd. Their little faces were red and their eyes were filled with tension and excitement.

It's like an appetizer.

The people on the dock were whispering to each other, pointing at one of the kids from time to time, probably trying to guess which one had a better chance of winning.

There were five or six kids in the clan who were in Sihai's group. As soon as my great uncle got away from my great uncle's grandmother, he hurried over to see how these little brats were performing.

Uncle A's youngest son, Jinbao, bit his lips tightly, clenched his fists, and his little chest heaved slightly due to nervousness.

The little girl next to him blinked her eyes and looked around curiously.

There was also a chubby Sihai who was wiping the water droplets off his face with his hands, looking very adorable.

The uncle covered his face, thinking that this group probably wouldn't get any ranking.

Sihai kept waving in the water. The competition between this group of children was more about playing, and there was no tense atmosphere at all.

With a clear whistle, the children began to swim towards the target.

Less than half a mile from the shore, about a hundred meters away, there is a small boat hung with colorful ropes. There is a pole on the boat, and on the pole is a hydrangea.

The competition is to see who can get the colored ball first.

Most of the children’s postures are not standard, but their seriousness makes people cheer.

Xu Yiyi stared at Sihai's figure. The child was very strong and he puffed up his little face and waved his arms slowly.

One of the girls with braids was like a nimble little fish as soon as she entered the water. She swam forward quickly, splashing a string of crystal water.

"Hey, that's your extra one, right? The little girl swims really fast!"

The women standing next to Xu Yiyi were originally chatting about other things. They occasionally glanced at the water and found that the person leading the group was a little girl.

"What's fast? You haven't seen my son swimming? That's fast."

The woman in lotus pink clothes waved her hands, her tone was full of disdain, but she was very proud when talking about her son.

"Redundant, redundant, that's redundant. He's making a fuss about wanting to participate in the competition. He's not sensible at all."

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Those who make friends with the woman in lotus pink clothes usually don't like girls.

They all echoed.

"That's right, my Caiyun also wanted to come. I didn't agree at first, but she made such a fuss and threw tantrums at home all day long that her father couldn't stand it anymore and agreed to let her come.

Guess what? Every day they have an excuse to go to training, but I think they're just going out to play. We don't have a seaside area, and the whole area relies on a river for water. Children can't go there to play, but it's different here. The sea is right outside their door, which arouses their playful desires. It's okay for boys to go out and play, but why would girls play? They're so ignorant and don't know how to help with housework.

The woman with a long face had a bit of harshness between her eyebrows and rolled her eyes when she spoke.

"It's the same extra one I have at home."

Before Duoyu, the woman in lotus pink clothes gave birth to five children. When the fifth child came, she gave birth to a son as she wished. When the sixth child came, her belly was pointed. She especially liked to eat sour food and kept dreaming that it was a boy.

At that time, everyone in the family was so happy and looking forward to the baby in her belly.

Who knew that the baby was actually a girl. The grandmother took the baby in her arms, uncovered the blanket and took a look, then said something directly.

"This is redundant."

The child's name was thus decided.

Er'er was close enough to hear everything that was said.

He looked at his elder sister angrily.

"How could this person be like this! Although the name Dad gave us was a bit casual, it doesn't have any bad connotations. Besides, my great uncle said that girls like us are more hardworking and capable than boys, so it's not redundant."

Xu Yiyi touched Er'er's head.

"Uncle is right, it's just that they have different perceptions."

The problem of favoring sons over daughters has existed since ancient times. Even in later generations, there are still families who say they love daughters more but actually love sons more.

Xu Yiyi looked at the little girl on the water who had been in the leading position. Her eyes were firm and tenacious. She did not relax at all and continued to swim hard towards the finish line.

There were a few people sparsely following behind, and some children even withdrew from the competition due to choking on water. Sihai was always unhurried.

Closely following the little girl, Sihai was getting closer and closer to the boat. Suddenly, he sped up, and the little girl naturally noticed it, and the two began to compete.

She swung her arms faster, and with a surge of energy in her heart, she swam forward desperately.

Perhaps Sihai was a little short-handed, and as the two of them climbed onto the boat at the same time, the hydrangea was grabbed by the extra girl.

The little girl raised her hands excitedly, a smile of victory on her face.

Er'er subconsciously turned to look at the little girl's mother, thinking that she would see the woman's happy face.

But I never expected that they all looked disgusted and disdainful.

"He's just a kid playing around. You might as well wait and see what else happens. Let me tell you, my son's swimming skills are one of the best in the village. Many people have praised him."

The woman had a smug look on her face, snorted, and didn't want to look anymore.

"Not bad. I thought it would be the same countdown as last year."

My great uncle was quite satisfied and was happy to be in the top three.

As soon as Sihai came ashore, Xu Yiyi brought Sanchuan and Erer to greet him.

The child was very happy. Although he didn't get first place, it was still a good ranking.

"Si Hai, did you make me a superfluous girl?"
