Chapter Forty-Four: Joy Turns the Sky Upside Down
Time is always healthy and never feels tired. It never stops walking, walking, walking through today and tomorrow, and soon entered the most prosperous season of May, ushering in the first farming festival and farming festival of the ferrypo.
On the first day of the "two festivals", Tonghua held a meeting on the preparations for the "two festivals", and the leaders of the manor and the management personnel of each park participated in the meeting.
The meeting is very simple, on a topic, each park introduces the preparation situation, which is equivalent to self-diagnosis and treatment, find out the problem and solve the problem, so that the "two sections" can be displayed in front of the guests in the most perfect posture as much as possible.
On the day of the "Two Festivals", the weather was particularly pleasant. Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, sunny and refreshing. At six o'clock in the morning, all the people of the manor were already in place. Reporters from all walks of life also came, these people were the main force of the manor's publicity, and the manor specially arranged for Yu Yangwei and Huo Gang to be responsible for the reception. At seven o'clock, Wu Xiaotian, who said that he was not coming to participate in the event, also came, and He Leirui quietly told Tong Hua that she had deceived Mr. Wu. As for how to deceive, He Leirui didn't say, Tong Hua was not interested, and didn't ask.
At half past seven, Mr. Zheng, the largest seller of manor products, led his team to drive the best crown car.
At eight o'clock, three old guests, Deputy Director Liang of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Professor Gu of the Provincial Agricultural University, and Master Qin of the Provincial TV Station also arrived, of course, these people are Huo Gang's old friends, and they were taken away by Huo Gang as soon as they got off the car.
The most pleasing thing for Tong Hua is the arrival of Professor Fang Zhili, a breeding expert, and this time he also brought a special person, his daughter Fang Fang, an expert in agricultural planting and a university professor. Tong Hua hugged her like sisters.
At half past eight, ten buses slowly drove into the ferry slope square, carrying the county's four sets of team leaders, leaders of various units directly under the county, party and government leaders of townships and towns, secretaries of 139 administrative villages (residences) and village (residential) directors in the county, a total of more than 370 people, led by Secretary Li personally, said that they participated in the "two sections" activities, in fact, they learned from the ferry slope, and it was the advanced practice of the county party committee and county government in promoting the ferry slope to the whole county.
The lanterns are hung high in the square, the colorful flags are fluttering, and there is a lively and joyful scene. The lantern performance team was dressed in red and jumped up to encourage it, which became a beautiful scenery in the square.
At nine o'clock, the launching ceremony of the "two sections" began, and Tong Hua and Wu Xiaotian accompanied Secretary Li and other county leaders of the four sets of teams to take their seats on the main platform.
The ceremony is simple and consists of three steps. The first step was a welcome speech by Tong Hua, the second step was an important speech by Secretary Li, and the third step was announced by Wu Xiaotian, the largest shareholder of the manor, the opening of the first farming festival and farming festival of the ferry.
At this time, the sound of salutes in the square, the waist drums, and the voices of people were boiling. According to the activity arrangement, there are four points in the "two festivals" activities: after the launching ceremony of the ferry slope square, they can choose to participate in the farming festival and the agricultural festival activities successively, and watch the lantern performance in the lantern square at night.
Let's follow the VIP group composed of the main leaders and experts led by Tong Hua to enjoy the wonderful glimpse of the "two festivals" activities.
After leaving the Ferry Slope Square, the VIP group first walked to the site of the Farming Festival. This place is located in the grain plantation of Tongjiapai, where rice is planted in spring and summer and flowers in winter, and the flowers mentioned here are rape flowers.
The host of the farming festival is the writer and the field cannon, both of them are authentic farmers in the village of ferry, although the cultural level is not high, but they have presided over the farming activities, familiar with the farming culture, although there is no gorgeous language, but the simple performance is more down-to-earth, more popular. Therefore, he was specially recommended by Tong Zhishu as the host of the farming festival.
Tian Dacang saw Tong Hua and Wu Xiaotian leading the leaders, experts, and professors to come over, so he reminded the writer, come here, start, one, two, three.
The writer took over the words: "Welcome leaders, experts, guests and friends to the scene of the farming festival, the following activities begin, the first activity of the field race, please get ready." ”
The sound of music lingers in the fields. A large drum stands on the ground, and the drummer is Takara Tanaka.
The contestants include villagers, foreign tourists, and leaders. The rules of the race are to set the start and end points in the 100-meter-long paddy field, and the runners start from the starting point and pass through the paddy field, and the one who takes the least time to reach the finish line wins.
The first group of players is in position. The writer checked the player's position and found that a male player was fouled in the standing position. So he lifted his foot and kicked him in the ass.
The male player screamed in pain a few times, and protected his ass with both hands.
"Don't foul, I'll kick if I foul."
"Kick me." Another short male contestant patted his butt and said.
Wenbi took the drumstick from Tanaka's hand and wanted to hit the player's buttocks, but the player hurriedly ran, but his feet slipped and fell into the paddy field, causing laughter from the audience.
Wen Bi waved the signal flag in his hand and shouted, everyone take their places, a whistle sounded, and more than a dozen people rushed into the paddy field. At this moment, the cheering drums sounded, the shouts of the spectators rang out, and there was a long, long echo from the valley.
The dozen or so running figures, like ducks and moths, staggered and struggled forward in the paddy fields. Four or five people sat down in the paddy fields and turned into clay figures, which caused everyone to laugh again.
The first group ran less than halfway to the finish line. The second group was even worse, they all fell into the paddy field, and no one reached the finish line. According to the rules of the competition, if you fall, you will withdraw from the competition. As a result, there were more than 100 people in 10 groups, and less than half of them successfully reached the finish line.
As a farming festival, the most interesting activity is catching fish in the rice fields. Dozens of acres of rice fields, 30 centimeters of water depth, and red carp jumping all over the field attracted the attention of everyone on the field, and also touched the nerves of everyone on the field. Because according to the rules, there is no limit to the number of people who catch fish, that is to say, anyone can catch it, and take as much as they catch.
Look, the people with full eyes are ready to go into the field to catch fish, just waiting for the writing to give an order.
But the writing order still depends on Tian Cannon's gestures to see if he is ready.
Tian Cannon waved the signal flag to the writer, meaning that the event could begin.
The writer ordered, get ready, and start catching fish in the rice fields now.
Whistles and drums sounded, and nearly 1,000 people rushed into dozens of acres of paddy fields. Like thousands of people making money, the scene is extremely spectacular.
Men and women mixed together, forgetting their gender, and some gay men didn't care about the physical feelings of lesbians at all, and ripped off their clothes until only one pair of pants remained, and the physiological parts arched slightly like a small mountain bag, and they were so ashamed that they moved their eyes and laughed secretly several times.
Many men and women simply picked up in the paddy fields, scratching their hands in the paddy fields, and from time to time they could hear sharp cries, "You touched my feet", "You touched my thighs", "You touched my buttocks", ......
As soon as the shouting stopped, applause erupted.
Secretary Li didn't like it, and asked the accompanying officials if they wanted to go down to the rice field to experience the fun of catching fish.
Officials say that's exactly what they mean.
Secretary Li said that if you have any intentions, you should act immediately, put down the shelf, and enjoy with the people.
Several officials did go.
Deputy Director Liang, Professor Wu, and Master Qin from the provincial capital couldn't help but go down to the rice field with the officials.
Lei Ming, Head Liu, and Director Hong stood on the ridge, and they didn't plan to go down to the rice field. But if I didn't pay attention, I didn't know who pushed me down the rice field.
Wu Xiaotian saw that everyone was going crazy. Suddenly, I also had a strong interest in catching fish, and asked Secretary Li and Tong Hua if they wanted to experience it.
Secretary Li said briskly, I have this intention.
Wu Xiaotian said excitedly, then go into the water!
Tong Hua said reluctantly, I'll forget it, these few days are special holidays.
Wu Xiaotian asked, what special holiday?
Secretary Li whispered a few words to him.
Wu Xiaotian smiled at Tonghua, you can continue to enjoy the special holiday! I'm going to experience it with Secretary Li.
Just as Secretary Li pulled up his trouser leg and was about to go into the water, Tian Cannon called Secretary Li a few times.
Secretary Li stood still, and when he saw that Tian Cannon was walking towards him, he asked what was the matter?
Tian Dacang said, Secretary Li, you and Wu Dong are not suitable for catching fish, I will introduce you to participate in a more meaningful activity.
Secretary Li said, what activities?
Tian cannon said, rice field set duck.
Secretary Li looked at Wu Xiaotian. Apparently asking for his opinion.
Wu Xiaotian said, I agree, the problem is that the leaders may not necessarily agree.
Secretary Li said, I agree, set a duck and add a meal in the evening.
Tong Hua said, then let's take the duck.
The paddy field duck trapping site is set up on dry land. Dozens of fat and strong ducks were kept in captivity in a bamboo fence. Maybe it's because the ducks are so tempting, hundreds of people are waiting in line to set the ducks!
Tian Cannon was encouraging the tourists who were queuing up to set ducks to give way, and was discovered by Secretary Li.
Secretary Li fiercely criticized the cannon in front of the tourists.
Several tourists gave up their rankings to Secretary Li, but Secretary Li declined.
Suddenly there was a burst of applause, and it turned out that a tourist had just lassoed a duck weighing five catties, and he was so happy that he raised the duck and jumped around.
After the duck activity, Secretary Li said to Tong Hua and Wu Xiaotian: "Let's go, go to the breeding garden to feel the atmosphere of the agricultural festival." ”
Tong Hua looked at the time, it was almost lunch time. So she suggested that Secretary Li go after lunch.
Secretary Li looked up at the sun and knew that it was time to eat. So he nodded in agreement.
The lunch and dinner of that day were arranged in these ways, and three meal points were set up: the ferry slope square, the farming festival activity point, and the agricultural festival activity point. All three locations have set up free and self-pay meals, and the free meals are all traditional cuisine of the ferry slope and the new cuisine of the estate.
The writer has already made arrangements for the meals of county leaders, experts and professors. However, Secretary Li disagreed, saying that the impact of specialization is not good, and it will also damage the reputation of the manor, and everyone must be treated equally and eat a buffet.
The so-called buffet is to choose the food completely according to your preferences. So, Secretary Li took the lead in picking up disposable tableware and began to choose food, followed by Tong Hua, Wu Xiaotian and other leaders and experts.
Three kinds of delicacies attracted Secretary Li, the first fried taro bun is a traditional snack of the ferrypo, crispy and delicious; The second kind of rice tea is the food with the longest history in the ferrypo; The third kind of manor aged rice wine, which has three colors: white, dark red and black, is the food of the manor and the brand of the manor.
Secretary Li chose these three, a bowl of rice tea, three taro buns, and a glass of rice wine.
Wu Xiaotian also chose these three.
Tong Hua only chose two kinds of taro buns and rice tea.
The three of them found a table of eight immortals and sat down. One after another, Deputy Director Liang, Gu Jiaojie, Lei Ming, Head Liu, Director Hong, etc., held their respective delicacies and sat around the Eight Immortals table.
Seeing that the food everyone chose was the same as the one they chose, Secretary Li had something to say: "What, do you all love these delicacies or did I influence your choice?" What to eat should be chosen according to your own preferences and tastes, and should not be influenced by others. ”
Wu Xiaotian first explained the reason for his choice: "Secretary Li, I didn't choose the same food as you. I'll tell you the truth, these three delicacies are my favorites, and Tonghua also gives me express delivery every month! ”
Tong Hua nodded with a smile.
Professor Gu, Lei Ming, and Head Liu also praised these three delicacies.
Secretary Li smiled: "Since everyone has a common hobby and a common taste, then we will eat." ”
