In the following time, they trained according to Long Zaiyuan's arrangement.

Although there was no more practice and confrontation in the actual competition, everyone felt that they had gained a lot and were full of confidence in the competition.

The improvement of their mental outlook is obvious to all, and even the "Jiumengzi" Long Lisheng is envious, and he cheekily came to the door and wanted to practice together: "I can play as a substitute, pass a ball or something." I can't do it, I'll carry water for you and stare at the scoreboard......"

In order to convince Long Xiaochuan, he also sold miserably, saying that his family was poor since he was a child, and his neighbors looked down on him: "I really want to live a personal life now......"

Long Xiaochuan looked at the wine bottle that the other party never left his hand and smiled: "I'm sorry, I've already finished registering." ”

Long Lisheng knew that this was a pretext, and immediately changed his face and left hatefully, shouting that one day the team would need him, and Lei Zhai would need him.

Long Xiaochuan saw that he turned around to leave, and suddenly mischievously said: "Of course Lei Zhai needs you, you need it now, let's go, go and cut rice with us." ”

Glutinous rice is one of the specialties of Leiming Mountain, the daily staple food of the villagers of Leizhai, and the foundation of survival.

It is inconvenient to carry out mechanized harvesting on the terraces, and the villagers generally adopt the method of "folding rice", that is, putting a copper sheet on the finger, called the picking knife.

At harvest time, only the ears of rice are harvested, and the fields are received on the ridges, bundled and carried down the mountain.

Every year, a large number of people are needed to cut rice, and many people who work outside will also put down their earning livelihood and run back to help, so the harvest season is approaching.

The rice is planted densely and impermeable, there are a large number of mosquitoes hidden in the rice waves, and the harvesting process is very hard, but everyone has a smile on their faces, which is a good mood brought by the harvest and a joy from the heart.

For farmers in the Qiandong region, eating new rice is as happy as the New Year, so eating the new festival is an important day of the year after the Spring Festival.

Yu Yan traveled around the mountains and countryside during this time, and her main job was to prepare for the entertainment celebration of the New Eating Festival on June 6.

"Village BA" is just one of the activities of the New Eating Festival, but this year's New Eating Festival is different because "Village BA" has been upgraded to a national event.

Because this is bound to attract the attention of netizens all over the country and get great traffic blessings.

Traffic means wealth, so as early as a month ago, the 11 administrative villages of Leiming Town were fighting for the host venue.

Shangquan is the town government station, Yucun has both scenery and convenient transportation, Dongliu has the largest population, Xiliu, Huaqiao, Houwu also have their own characteristics.

However, Yu Yan wanted to set up the host venue in Lei Village, and even did not hesitate to make a fuss with other comrades in the village-based work team.

Her original intention is good, Lei Zhai is a poor village, adhering to the purpose of the first rich to drive the later rich should be supported, but this is the first competition of the "village BA" to rise to a national event, the details must be perfect, how can it be arranged in the inconvenient Lei Village?

Can't let the other ten administrative village teams all ride motorcycles and drive walk-behind tractors to Leizhai, right?

What's more, there are still groups of relatives and friends to go to each village in the competition, and there must be 20,000 or 30,000 people in total, and there are so many people in the place where Lei Zhai's palm is bigger.

Everyone argued for several days, and finally the leader made a decision in Yucun.

On the day the news was released, Shi Zhenxing was angry, not only broadcast in the loudspeaker for a day, swiped the screen in the WeChat group, but also changed into new clothes and walked around the village for a long time.

Everything he was not accustomed to, such as firewood stacks, chicken coops, cowsheds, pigsties, etc., were all demolished and replaced with greening and landscaping.

This incident would have triggered public resentment, but because hosting the "village BA" would bring a lot of income to the villagers, everyone was extremely supportive of the demolition work, as if anyone who did not demolish it would drag down the whole village.

Shi Zhenyue's food stall has been placed outside the basketball court for many years, and the canopy is aging, and the tables and chairs are outdated.

However, she refused to obey Shi Zhenxing's leadership on the grounds that her family was in difficulty and she couldn't come up with the money to rectify it, which once caused a lot of contradictions.

Shi Zhenxing was afraid that the villagers would gossip, so he bought a set of rain rides, tables, chairs and benches out of his own pocket and forcibly demolished the old food stall.

Tian Sihai also went to Shi Zhenxing's house to extort bamboo for this matter, and took 8,000 yuan before he would give up.

Compared with the upcoming "Village BA" competition, these are trivial things, and the village teams participating in the competition are really concerned about the competition grouping.

There are 11 administrative villages in Leiming Town, and the strength of Yucun is a grade higher, and no matter who encounters it in the first round, there is a high probability that they will be eliminated. So everyone discussed for a long time, and finally decided to let Yucun have a bye in the first round, and the remaining 10 teams drew lots to catch the match, and the winner advanced to the next round, and so on.

Shi Zhenxing was happy to do this, and also strongly advocated that the game be divided into five days: "Athletes are too tired to play two games a day, and no one can stand it. ”

His wishful thinking was that whenever there was a team that had a game, its relatives and friends in the village would have to come to cheer for them, and when the time came, they would eat and drink, buy some souvenirs and other things, and the money would flow into the pockets of the people of Yucun.

So the longer the game, the higher the benefits for the village.

But everyone thought that it would delay the part-time job to earn money if it was too long, so they finally discussed changing it to two days.

On the morning of the first day, there was a simple opening ceremony, and ten teams except Yucun fought each other and eliminated five of them; In the afternoon, a total of 6 teams from Yucun fought against each other and eliminated three of them.

On the morning of the second day, the three teams played a round-robin match, and the champions, runners-up and third runners-up were determined according to the wins.

However, the people in the village felt that the round-robin was too cumbersome, so they simply drew lots, one bye, and the other two teams competed, and the winner competed with the bye team, and the team that won the last game was the champion!

Yu Yan attended the decision-making meeting because the previous proposal for the location of the home stadium was not adopted, and she only felt that according to the method discussed by the village party secretaries, this event was both serious and funny, and it seemed formal and special child's play.

But the leader has repeatedly emphasized the need for stability and reminded that the wishes of the farmers should be respected, and she can only be a good meeting recorder, and she can arrange what people say......

The day before the opening of the competition, she notified each village to send representatives to Yucun to draw lots, and the result was that the whole team of 10 villages came collectively, watching seventy or eighty people crowded into a small conference room.

For a moment, she felt that she was really taking it for granted, with the old and dilapidated basketball court and daily reception capacity of Lei Zhai, it was really difficult to undertake large-scale events.

The lottery process is very simple, that is, pick five captains to draw lots, catch a note with the name of which village is written, and play against the team of which village.

Hearing that Yucun had a bye in the first round, not only did everyone not have an opinion, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Xiaochuan went up to draw lots on behalf of Lei Zhai, and Yang Yaye, who was walking behind him, was very nervous, and kept thinking in pieces: "Uncle, don't draw Huaqiao, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it." ”

Long Xiaochuan smiled: "Please, you have an IQ...... I want to repent of my sister's marriage. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"You're all standing here, do you think there's your Huaqiao name in the box?"

“…… Oh yes......"
