"What's going on with you, I can handle this matter alone!" Liu Yi directly expressed his attitude in the face of the villagers whose intentions were unknown.

However, as soon as the words came out, he was opposed by the uncle: "How can this matter be your own business, dragon boat racing was a very important thing in the past ten miles and eight villages, far and near towns, according to tradition, people who do not have a certain social status and prestige cannot organize this activity!" ”

After taking a sip of the tea that his mother brought to them, the uncle continued to nod his head from the surrounding villagers: "Yesterday, I heard that you are going to hold a dragon boat race, and we are the only ones in the village who are higher in seniority, and we usually have personnel. ”

"Ah, there is such a thing as holding a dragon boat race?" Faced with such a situation, Liu Yi was dumbfounded.

"Ahh Uncle then explained the reason.

It turns out that in the past, many large-scale events were held jointly by families and village communities, and the dragon boat race was naturally a very grand event at that time.

Liu Yi had no resistance to this at that time, it just so happened that he had never experienced this matter, and it was troublesome to organize. Now that he has the command of the uncle and the respected villagers in the village, he can still be lazy.

The uncle saw that Liu Yi didn't speak for a long time and thought that Liu Yi had other ideas, so he said comfortingly: "Many of the traditional rules left over from you young people don't understand, the dragon boat race has not been held in our area for decades, I remember the last time I held a dragon boat race in the surrounding villages, I was still a young man under 20." ”

"That's it, I remember the last time the dragon boat race was held in a place called Tongzi Village, there was a small river over there, and on the day of the race, the people on both sides of the river were all around, and we couldn't squeeze in, but everyone was so excited at that time. When the local people say that it is Tongzi Village, they are even more arrogant. I still remember the smug expressions on their faces. Another old man in the village who was about the same age as the uncle was very embarrassed.

Liu Yi didn't expect that the dragon boat race was just an ordinary event, but there were many rules to follow, and this activity was so different from these old people.

"Then Uncle and to the seniors, I will leave the dragon boat racing to you, but I will pay for the funds that need to be used. It can be regarded as my feedback to the villagers in the village. Thank you for your continued support after I returned to the village! ”

"This ....... This one....... Hearing Liu Yi's words, the villagers sitting in the courtyard dam were a little overjoyed, they didn't expect Liu Yi to be so easy to talk to, but it was not easy to shirk at this time. So the speech was a little stuck.

Finally, the uncle surnamed Liu, who has more prestige in the village, said: "Then I can ask you to contribute all the funds, this is a grand event jointly organized by our village, and everyone will have to have money to contribute and make a strong contribution. ”

Liu Yi smiled: "Uncle Liu, that's not what I said, you also know that my farmhouse is on the edge of the reservoir, if you race a dragon boat, I will get the greatest benefit, the money will be paid by me, and you will be responsible for finding the dragon boat and all kinds of props needed for the race." ”

"I really don't need to pay in the village, I think there are a lot of benefits in the village of this dragon boat race, isn't it a little unreasonable for you to be alone, I think we all have some points!" Old man Liu insisted on his point of view.

"You don't want to earn it with me, I don't have a problem at all with the money, if I am asked to find the dragon boat and the props I need, it will really be blind in both eyes, we are also doing our own duties, there is nothing that can't be said!" Liu Yi also said strongly.

"Alas, Xiaoyanagi is really benevolent and righteous, with the demeanor of his grandfather, it is really a good family education." Uncle Bai on the side said with a sigh on his face.

"Yes, you see how much it has changed since Xiao Liu Yi came back last year and took the village to do this and that, and the people of the whole village have to thank him!"

"There is a capable person in our village, is it not when we also have a sacrificial activity to comfort the spirits in the sky?"

"I think I can do this, it is really the ancestors of God who blessed us, so that our village has Liu Yi back to the village and brings us to get rich together."

“……”

What's going on, aren't you talking about dragon boat racing, how are you talking about holding a sacrifice, and you're thanking your ancestors again. The words of these old men made Liu Yi cry and laugh a little on the side.

After talking for a while, the uncle summed up: "I think I will do what Erwa said, our old guys will prepare all the props for dragon boat racing, as for the need for financial support, find Erwa him, he is not short of this money now, and it is worth spending money to do things in the village." ”

"Well, speaking of dragon boats, I really know where there are ready-made ones, and this matter is on our heads." The old man of the Liu family was old and strong at this time, and he assured that he was in good spirits.

In the happy atmosphere, everyone was satisfied with some details of the dragon boat race, and their expressions were much calmer than when they came.

After letting go of the nerve-wracking preparations for the dragon boat race, Liu Yi was also a lot more relaxed.

Recently, good things have continued, the boom in the farmhouse business, the smooth design of the drawings of the folk street and the nursing home, and it will take some time for the customized ropeway to be pulled back and installed.

The purchase of the ropeway is the fastest thing for Liu Yi to implement, and after he had this intention last time, he called a company that made ropeways introduced by Li Haifeng to connect with the matter.

The company also sent people to inspect the site and specifically measured the height and length of the mountain, as well as all aspects of the things involved, and now it is also the ropeway drawings or something Liu Yi has been determined, just waiting for the company to do a good job and install it.

Seeing that there was nothing to do at home, Liu Yi took Ye Ziyan to hum a little song and walked out of the door with a leisurely look, today he plans to go to the orchard to have a look.

A few days ago, he picked back several watermelons, which made Liu Yi obsessed with the taste, after a few days of wind and sun, most of the watermelons under the fruit trees must have been ripe.

Not only that, there are also a lot of fruits in the orchard that should be on the market at this time, such as some early-ripening peaches, plums, apricots can be picked, as well as lychees and bayberry with few trees, these are all things that make Liu Yi covet.

"Erwa, why do you have time to come to the orchard today?" The fourth brother roared loudly when he was still far away, it seemed that Liu Yi was a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about it, and a visit to the orchard almost surprised them.

"I said fourth brother, I haven't been here for two days, so I don't need to be so rare, if I wait a few more days for me to come, do you want to welcome mea?" Liu Yi said with a smile in his mouth.

The fourth brother was originally a relatively honest person, and after staying in the orchard for a long time, this problem was slightly better, but he still couldn't adapt to Liu Yi's joke, his face was a little stiff, and he didn't react until a moment later.

Liu Yi didn't care about him, the fourth brother still had to exercise like this. Putting aside the topic just now, Liu Yi continued to ask: "How is the situation in the orchard these days?" ”

The fourth brother replied according to the book: "The loquat and early peaches have been picked, and now there are strawberries still on sale, and the sales are better than some time ago, but if it goes on like this, I can't see that the strawberries will grow!" ”

Liu Yi smiled, there is no problem with picking strawberries until August and September, but it is necessary to supplement fertilizer in the middle, and if the growth is not enough, it will be a big problem if the quality is affected.

"Don't worry, haven't you gone over to check on the orchard in the past few days, the early-ripening watermelons under those trees are almost ripe, I'll go over and take a look at them later, if they're ripe, call some employees to pick them and sell them here, lest you send more people around."

"That's good, I just took the time to go over there yesterday to take a look, the watermelon is buried under the vine, and I can't tell if it's ripe or not, and then some of the fruits I can't call will be ripe by then." The fourth brother replied honestly.

After a few words with the fourth brother, Liu Yi continued to walk deep into the orchard, the weeds that grew in the middle of the orchard were regularly cleaned up by the staff, and when he walked inside, he could only feel the soft soil, and he could see some stone flowers and a little moss.

It could have been walked along the cement path to the citrus grove, but apparently Liu Yi took Ye Ziyan to take a shortcut this time.

When I came to the citrus orchard, the melon vines inside were indeed very luxuriant, and many places were paved layer after layer, which was still Liu Yi asked the staff to pick a lot of melon seedling shoots, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Most people who have planted watermelons know that removing the seedlings is conducive to the vines hanging fruits, so that the vines will not be dense and fruitful.

Uncovering the watermelon covered by the vine leaves that he had seen last time, Liu Yi gently knocked the watermelon with his hand, and then there was a very obvious vibration, which was very charming, as long as people who have been dealing with watermelons for a long time will know that this watermelon is ripe.

Next, Liu Yi carefully separated the melon vines and walked out of a path, revealing dense watermelons around the path, Liu Yi tried to knock a few times one by one, and more than 7 percent of those watermelons were ripe, and it seemed that they could really be put on the market.
