It was a hearty cloudy day, which is rare in a mountain town at this time.

Accustomed to the weather that is either rain or sunny, dense fog or sultry, Liu Yi stretched out comfortably in such an early morning.

There are a lot of things today, that is, the first day of the dragon boat race, and many things are waiting for him, who is not in the middle of the ranks in the village, to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and many things are really not good to leave Liu Yi.

The morning exercise can not be carried out, even if you want to go to the morning exercise, you don't want to look at the vehicles on the road outside, from the terrace on the third floor, you can see that the road to this side is already dense, one by one, and many cars are parked.

There are low-end economical ones, such as vans, small pickup trucks, clumsy ones, etc., and a lot of mid-range family cars of various domestic cars, urban off-road, but there are also a lot of luxury cars, not counting the Land Rover Tucson that Liu Yi parked in his bamboo forest, like a few cars in small Japan, some brands of sedans in the United States and some luxury cars in Germany, and the rest of Liu Yi can't be identified.

As soon as Liu Yi went out after breakfast, he met the elders who took the initiative to prepare the equipment and props for the dragon boat race in the village last time, Liu Yi looked at them and greeted them very respectfully.

They also saw Liu Yi laughing, and the uncle surnamed Liu said heartily: "Liu boy, are you going to go to the reservoir now?" ”

Liu Yi said head-on: "Yes, the dragon boat race is scheduled to start at half past nine, now go over and see if there is anything we need to check and add, there can be no mistakes in the first competition!" ”

"Yes, that's a good attitude. It's one of the biggest events our village has held in decades, and we can't let the other surrounding villages see the jokes! Uncle's voice suddenly came out from behind Liu Yi.

"Since you're all out, let's go to the reservoir together!" Uncle Liu proposed at this time, until this time Liu Yi came over, they were going to wait for him in the small courtyard, if they let the elders wait for Liu Yi, it would be big, but is he embarrassed!

Along the way, Liu Yi looked at the congestion in the village, it was really a matter of hearing and seeing was believing, although the number of people who arrived was counted yesterday, but it was really necessary to look at this dense crowd of people to make people impressed.

On that day, Liu Yi made a sigh, and the uncle took the lead in sighing: "There are so many people, and the ones who can get up at this point now may be the tourists who arrived yesterday." Wait until the dragon boat race starts. At that time, the crowd was even more congested, I really couldn't imagine that our village could attract so many people, I couldn't imagine it! ”

"yes, that's just for tourists from afar. When the villagers from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns and other villages and communities finish their work, I am afraid that many people will come. When the time comes, Xiaoyanagi, your big reservoir will definitely wrap you around. That's not just a few floors! Uncle Liu also joked at this time.

"There is no need to exaggerate, the 50-acre reservoir is at least several miles away from the inlet to the outlet. There are two sides in total, and how many people will it take to fill the open space on the shore! Liu Yi was particularly surprised by Uncle Liu's words.

Uncle also smiled at this time and said: "This situation is really possible, we will see it at a glance when we get to the reservoir!" ”

Everyone laughed and walked through the mountain vegetable base, a wide and calm water surface appeared in front of them, the center of today's reservoir, was divided into a track by the floating head, the total length of these tracks is 1000 meters, and the 240 groups of players have to go through 12 games to complete all the races.

Liu Yi looked at such a scene in the reservoir, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Uncle, there are so many things that need to be prepared for dragon boat racing, you look at the more than ten dragon boats at one end, the complete track, the temporary terrace next to it and the referee's seat corresponding to the dragon boat race crossing the finish line are now so good!" ”

"Hehe, of course this is to get better, our old guys will use this dragon boat race to earn some face, since childhood, only to run around to a long distance to watch the activities organized by other places, now people are old to be able to get a time in our village is really dead and no regrets!" Old Man Liu seemed full of neutrality when he spoke at this time.

"Yes, it's time for us to be complacent, thanks to Liu Boy, let people from other villages and towns come to see the development of our village, and they will definitely be shocked by the time!" Another village elder said.

Seeing the smiling faces of the elders, Liu Yi really felt the joy and excitement in the hearts of the old people, people have lived for most of their lives and all good things have been seen outside, but the village has not come up with anything, until this time they really raised their eyebrows, many people are unable to experience their sense of village honor.

"Uncle, elders, don't worry, this dragon boat race is just one of the first activities in our village, and we will be determined to do it during the New Year's Festival or any large-scale celebrations in the village, and we will do it with great fanfare, so that more people will know that our village has become rich!" Liu Yi was also very heroic at the moment.

"Okay, good, good ......" a few good words came out of the mouths of the elders involuntarily.

The old man of the Liu family clapped his hands and said excitedly: "With Liu Xiaozi's words, let's try to live him for a few more years and see more changes in the village!" ”

"Yes, we watched the second baby take our village to get rich together, and I also want to live in that luxury villa when the time comes!" On the side, an uncle surnamed Liu smiled and answered.

When we arrived at the farmhouse, everyone started to get busy.

At the last time Liu Yi and Ye Ziyan fell into the water, a referee table was built here, because the reservoir happened to have the width of the 12 tracks of the dragon boat race from here, and it was also very convenient to build a terrace here.

The referee's table is very simple and made of wooden planks and steel pipes, and there are three floors from top to bottom, each of which is equivalent to a large ladder, and when it is the turn of the dragon boat race, the judges will sit on it and observe the arrival time of the dragon boat.

There are more than 10 referees in total, and each person's division of labor is different.

Continuing to walk forward is roughly in the middle of the reservoir, that is, on the square in front of the leisure center, where a larger platform has been built today, and this platform is the rostrum of the dragon boat race.

When he heard the uncle's proposal to build this rostrum, Liu Yi felt that there was no need for this, and later the uncle explained that building the rostrum was a very important thing, highlighting the grandeur of this event.

It turned out that the rostrum was prepared by inviting respected people from other villages, and it was also prepared for the relevant leaders of the local government departments, which really realized the strength of this village.

These are not to be said for the time being, anyway, Liu Yi is also atmospheric in this competition, as long as the uncle they want to invite all the people they want to invite have made a gilt invitation, in addition, he used his own network to invite the local town government leaders, village leaders, with the background of his father-in-law, the village and town leaders immediately replied by phone after receiving Liu Yi's invitation and said that they must come.

If the old man and the city leaders come again this time, Liu Yi will be equivalent to giving them another chance to tie their heads up, I don't know how they will thank Liu Yi in the future!

Raise your hand and look at the watch, Liu Yi's outfit today is also rare and serious, wearing an Apani suit that Ye Ziyan specially accompanied him to buy back in the big shopping mall in the city, a pair of leather shoes are shiny, the watch is the watch given to him by Qin Fuchuan, the manager of the Construction Bank, at first Liu Yi really didn't know that the watch was so expensive, it was Ye Ziyan who accidentally found out that it was said to Liu Yi, Liu Yi sent a few more bottles of that pill to Qin Fuchuan for this reason, which made him almost cry with joy.

It's already nine o'clock, and the crowds of tourists on both sides of the reservoir at this time began to gather, and a location with a better view of the reservoir is already overcrowded.

The more dangerous sections of the flat shore were leveled without hesitation, and the unsafe places were equipped with protective fences, and a lot of stone steps were built, but due to the relationship of time, many places were slightly covered with a thin layer of cement, which still looked relatively rough, but Liu Yi had no way to improve, only after this event.

In his opinion, all the perimeter of the reservoir should be rested, a pedestrian path about 2 meters wide should be built, and some tall shady trees should be planted on the edge of the reservoir for tourists to exercise and visit.

At this time, the basic personnel of the rostrum and the referee's seat were all there, but the middle position on the rostrum was still vacant.

At this time, the contestants who signed up for the competition were also drawing numbers in a very huge box step by step, and the happy faces of those who passed smoothly were smiling, and there were many people who did not draw, but this was not what Liu Yi cared about.

He has just received a phone call now, and his future father-in-law and the leader have entered the village accompanied by the leaders of Jiangzhou District and the leaders of the town, but there are many people in the village who have rushed to see the excitement, and the vehicles on the way into the village are completely impassable, and they are forced to get out of the car and walk in desperation.

Liu Yi was so busy that his family organized a zongzi making contest that was one step ahead of this, at this time, many people were already around his mother, watching the glutinous rice and various zongzi raw materials in the hotel move to the square, which attracted the attention of many middle-aged women.

At 9:20 minutes, all the leaders, including the old man, felt out of breath, Liu Yi hurriedly invited them to the middle of the rostrum, and immediately asked them to give a speech to cheer for all the players and spectators who came. (To be continued......)
