Chapter 441: Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival and Dragon Boat Race

In the early morning, the rising sun broke through the twilight of the sky, like an egg yolk hanging in the air. In this environment, people can look directly at the sun. Gu Hongyu did this a lot when he was a child. I don’t know why he just stared at it until tears flowed. …≦

But now Gu Hongyu will not do such a stupid thing. After morning exercise with his family’s cute pets, Gu Hongyu went to the edge of the Red Lake again, summoning gold bricks to win the exclamations of tourists, and there were also waves of calls from friends.

Recently, after dealing with the orchard, other things in the village went smoothly.

It’s almost mid-June, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming. The whole village is busy celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival and doing many promotional activities. The whole village is full of joy.

After breakfast, Uncle Azha came to Gu Hongyu’s villa again. I don’t know what he is busy with these days. Gu Hongyu hasn’t seen him for several days. This was impossible before, because Uncle Azha basically reported to his house every day.

"Is Xiao Gu at home?" Uncle Azha, with his hands behind his back, asked Gu Hongyu with a smile.

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?" Gu Hongyu also responded with a smile.

Recently, everything in the village has been going well, and Uncle Azha is in a particularly good mood. The villagers' lives are getting better and better every day. He could never have imagined this situation before, but now it is happening right in front of him. Now he feels like he has eaten honey all day long.

Because the living standard has improved, many villagers are starting to feel active as the Dragon Boat Festival approaches. It is suggested that Uncle Azha organize a collective activity in the village, either to attract tourists or to show the current living standards of Honghu Village.

Dragon boat racing was originally an activity held in some places in southern China on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to worship Qu Yuan, but with the changes of the times, the cultures of the north and the south have merged. Dragon boat racing in memory of Qu Yuan has also gradually spread across the country.

Honghu Village has a unique geographical advantage. Many villagers suggested using Honghu to hold a dragon boat race. However, the entire Honghu was contracted by Gu Hongyu. Uncle Azha hurried to find Gu Hongyu to discuss this matter.

When Gu Hongyu asked, Uncle Azha did not hide anything and told him the reason for the matter. Gu Hongyu was surprised and said, "Uncle, this suggestion is good. I agree with it."

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't object, but Xiao Gu, the other things about the dragon boat race are easy to handle, but we don't know how to do this dragon boat. The Dragon Boat Festival is only a few days away, so I'm here to ask you for help." Uncle Azha was a little embarrassed when he spoke.

Gu Hongyu scratched his head. To be honest, he was not very clear about the dragon boat race. Shancheng was on the bank of the Yangtze River. When he was a child, Gu Hongyu could see the dragon boat race every year, but he was not a participant, he just made a fuss on the side.

Gu Hongyu's father just came down from upstairs, looked at Uncle Azha and Gu Hongyu and asked: "Were you talking about dragon boats just now...?"

"Well, Honghu Village plans to hold a dragon boat race this year, but there is still no dragon boat!" Gu Hongyu explained.

Unexpectedly, his father said excitedly: "It's a good idea to hold a dragon boat race. The village should be lively. The villagers' material level has been improved. The spiritual civilization construction must also keep up!"

"You have met me for the dragon boat race. When I was in the factory, I basically participated in the dragon boat race every year. We also made the dragon boats ourselves. Now there is still a week before the Dragon Boat Festival. How many dragon boats do you need...? Leave this matter to me. I promise to let you see beautiful dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival."

For outsiders. It is incredible to build more than ten dragon boats in a week, but my father is very familiar with this aspect. In addition, there is no lack of materials on the market now. As long as you have money, you can customize ready-made dragon boats. Of course, Uncle Azha and the villagers of Honghu Village don't have much experience. I definitely wouldn't think of this.

My father took over the dragon boat race, and Uncle Azha discussed the rest of the dragon boat race with Gu Hongyu. As a result, my mother, Father Mei, Mother Mei, and Mei Ning, who came down from upstairs one after another, were all interested in organizing a dragon boat race in the village. They all offered suggestions one by one, and many of the ideas were really good. Uncle Azha even found a small notebook to write down everyone's opinions.

Gu Hongyu smiled bitterly on the side. This time, he was going to spend a lot of money again. In terms of prizes, the family discussed and discussed and finally decided that their own Xianyuan fine wine, fruits, and vegetables would be the best. As for the winners, they could spend free money at the military fan club.

The dragon boat race venue is the fishing lakeside, which is close to the Xianyuan Winery, which indirectly promoted the Xianyuan Winery!

"Xiao Gu, let's do this first. I'll explain your opinions to the villagers. You intellectuals are knowledgeable. Why can't the villagers think of these ideas?" Uncle Azha closed the small book, and his face was full of joy. He got so many good suggestions, and he couldn't wait to tell the villagers the good news.

Watching Uncle Azha walk away, Gu Hongyu turned to his father and said, "Dad, are you okay with the dragon boat?"

"When will my words not count? You'll see!" His father patted his chest.

But his father-in-law next to him said, "Brother Gu, I also know a little about dragon boats. How about I help you?"

Before his father could speak, Gu Hongyu said, "I think it's okay. Two people can do this without being too busy. Dad, I'll give you 200,000 yuan first. I think we'll pay for it. Red Lake is ours anyway. Who knows when we can use these boats in the future, right?"

Everyone knew that the family had money. The mother, who was more careful with her budget, did not object to Gu Hongyu's suggestion. Mei Ning was pregnant, so doing more good deeds would be considered as accumulating virtue. Sometimes, mothers are still very superstitious!

In the next few days, everything went on in an orderly manner.

The news of the dragon boat race had been released, and the village also organized some villagers to rehearse the canoe as a dragon boat several times. Not only the villagers rehearsed, but some netizens who heard about the dragon boat race also participated in the action.

With the participation of Mei's father, the dragon boat was almost built smoothly, and only the last one or two processes were left before it could be put into the water.

The father who had vowed to do it said with great emotion: "Fortunately, my in-laws are here, otherwise I really can't make it in such a short time."
