Chapter 442: The Grand Spectacular in Red Lake Village
The news of the dragon boat race in Honghu Village was not only widely circulated on the Internet, but also spread like a wild horse in real life. Then the leaders in the town, county, city, and even the province knew about it.
Of course, it was Chen Luofeng and his brothers in the province who made a contribution. After they got the exact news of the dragon boat race from Gu Hongyu, they actually formed a team to participate in the competition. Many second-generation officials and rich second-generation people who had always wanted to follow them rushed to join. As a result, the number of people in a team seriously exceeded the standard and increased to more than 20 people. It is said that some people are trying to squeeze in.
After learning that the young masters in the provincial capital were preparing to participate in the competition, some public officials had their brains open and came up with a professional dragon boat team of the government department to participate in the dragon boat race in Honghu Village. This made Uncle Azha very happy, but Gu Hongyu knew the inside story. These people also spent a lot of effort to get close to those second-generation officials.
"Xiao Gu, you are not a good boy. Why is there no senior group in the dragon boat race?" That day, Mr. Chen and some of his peers surrounded Gu Hongyu at home.
"That's right, Xiao Gu, your approach is unfair!"
"You are completely depriving us of the right to participate in the competition!"
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Now you should quickly add our elderly team to the list, otherwise I will never let you go!"
"..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Hongyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking in his heart: "It's that serious, you are all in your seventies and eighties. If something happens in the fierce competition, it will be difficult to explain!"
But seeing that they didn't give up at all, Gu Hongyu had to give them an explanation. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Liang... The manpower in the village is limited. The scale of the dragon boat race tomorrow is already very large. Even the participating teams now may have to compete until very late. If you participate, I'm afraid the competition will not be finished tomorrow..."
"It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work tomorrow, there is still the day after tomorrow. At worst, the elderly group will participate the day after tomorrow. What do you think, brothers?" Grandpa Liang came up with an idea.
"This..."
"Not bad, our main thing is to participate!"
"Let's stretch our old arms and legs, the day after tomorrow."
"We won't get involved with those little bastards tomorrow, the day after tomorrow!"
"..."
Looking at the old people talking and finally agreeing to race the dragon boat the day after tomorrow, Gu Hongyu felt a little happy, he finally got rid of these naughty kids who were getting older and younger. The Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow has passed, and without too many spectators, the intensity of the competition will definitely be much less. The probability of accidents will be much smaller.
However, the shrewd old people understood this matter in a short time. Seeing this, Gu Hongyu hurriedly said: "Then you can arrange it for the day after tomorrow. Now I have something to do, so I have to leave first. You can discuss it slowly!"
"This Xiao Gu, who is married and about to become a father, is still so impatient and anxious!"
"Strange, this kid is not like this usually, he has a very calm personality!"
"Oh no. We have all been fooled by Xiao Gu..."
"Hahaha, forget it. The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. Didn't you just say that participation is important? It's too late to find Xiao Gu now." Finally, Mr. Chen made a conclusion.
The Dragon Boat Festival is an important festival in China. It took a long time from the beginning of commemorating Qu Yuan to the later formation of a traditional Chinese festival.
On this day, clouds rarely hung over Honghu Village. It was a cloudy day at first, and finally it was exempted from direct sunlight. The sun is still very strong here in summer.
The dragon boat race was held on time at 8:30 in the morning. Although it was an activity organized by the village, the county leaders and this leader always liked to say a few words at the beginning.
Maybe it was because they saw the crowds of tourists and villagers from neighboring villages on the shore of Red Lake. There were still many players waiting to participate in the dragon boat race. Today, the leaders consciously made the speeches that were long in the past very brief, but they received the warmest applause from the people.
Today's dragon boat race was more popular than the most lively event in Qingzhen's history. The leaders and the police station in the town dispatched a lot of assistants to ensure the safety of the competition. Of course, these people may have resistance in their hearts, but Gu Hongyu will thank them afterwards, which is a later story for now!
With a command, the team that drew the first place in the lottery started the competition. They shouted slogans, and there was a special person on the bow waving drumsticks to beat the drums to encourage teammates. The players swung the oars vigorously, and the muscles on the exposed arms could be seen bulging, forming obvious lines.
I have to say that this kind of situation will make many women scream, because they are so manly!
Not only the female tourists and villagers are shouting, but also many male tourists and villagers are cheering. Maybe many men are too introverted and shy on weekdays, but at this moment, they all forget it and remember to cheer for the people who are fighting hard in front of them!
As the competition time progresses, more and more tourists come to watch the competition on the shore of Red Lake. Some of these small vendors are here. They are all smiling. Watching them shuttle through the crowded crowd like fish, you don’t need to think about it to know that they have made a fortune this time.
The intensity of the competition was beyond imagination. Some contestants collapsed directly after the competition. Fortunately, Gu Hongyu had emergency measures. He not only invited a doctor on the spot, but also equipped with a small pill made by himself. After taking a pill to strengthen the foundation, those who were temporarily unconscious often woke up immediately. This situation also attracted the attention of the emergency doctor.
The competition made people forget the loss of time. In the tight schedule, everyone came to noon quietly. Until the sound of the gong to stop the competition and the loudspeaker announced the lunch break, everyone felt hoarse and a little tired.
But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the tourists at all. There was only a short one-hour break at noon. At this time, the sun also poked its head out from the clouds. The strong sunlight shone on everyone's head. Many people put on hats and held parasols to continue watching the game and invested in the intense and tense competition.
Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a team appeared in Gu Hongyu's sight. They were the young masters team led by Chen Luofeng. Under the scorching sun, they were all sweating profusely. Before the game even started, some players actually started to scoop up lake water to cool down.
But more difficult things are still to come. I don't know if these young masters who usually have enough food and clothing can compete, and don't let other participating teams fall too far behind. Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu smiled knowingly!
