60s: I have a store

Chapter 507 Mini Game

Zhou Yimin stood in the crowd, looking at this lively scene, and felt very happy that he could help the village.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the villagers' mood became more and more excited.

At this time, Zhou Dazhu, a famous loudmouth in the village, stood up and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, be quiet! We are so happy today, we can't just eat and drink, we have to have some fun. Let me sing a song for everyone first!"

As he spoke, he cleared his throat and sang a folk song that everyone was familiar with.

Zhou Dazhui's voice was loud to begin with, and after drinking some rice wine, he sang even more passionately. His voice echoed in the night sky, drawing cheers from the villagers.

Under the leadership of Zhou Dazhu, the villagers enthusiastically performed.

A few young guys got together and performed a simple but energetic dance.

Although their movements were a bit clumsy, they were full of energy and made everyone laugh.

Then, the old man in the village was not to be outdone and stepped forward to tell everyone interesting stories about the village.

The old man was a great eloquent person, and he told the story vividly. When he got to the exciting parts, he added exaggerated movements, which made everyone laugh.

The children were playing among the crowd, and from time to time they ran to the bonfire and got close to smell the tempting aroma of meat.

The women gathered together, enjoying the delicious food and talking about the changes in the village and their future life.

Master Cao was also in the crowd. He looked at the road he had helped build and the lively celebration in front of him, feeling filled with emotion.

The old branch secretary saw Zhou Yimin sitting nearby, so he walked over, patted Zhou Yimin on the shoulder, and said, "Yimin, why don't you go over and play?"

Zhou Yimin responded with a smile: "Old Party Secretary, if I go over there, they won't let me go?"

Although he was about the same age as everyone else, he had not been exposed to the same level of things, which resulted in the young people in the village being quite reserved about themselves and not feeling able to relax at all.

After hearing this, the old branch secretary also knew that this was the truth: "Yimin, you can give it a try."

Many things can only be known after trying them, and different things may happen.

Zhou Yimin felt that what the old secretary said made sense. Seeing everyone having so much fun, he suddenly had an idea and stood up and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, since you are so happy today, how about I suggest we play a game?"

When the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang heard that it was Zhou Yimin who said this, even if they were not interested, they would come to participate.

But when they heard it was a game, they all became interested and asked in unison, "What game is it, Uncle Sixteen?"

Zhou Yimin smiled and explained: "Let's play a game of 'relay stone transport'. Divide everyone into several groups, and each group has a representative standing in a row.

The first person carried two baskets of stones on a shoulder pole, ran to the designated location on the other side, and then ran back to hand the shoulder pole to the second person.

And so on, to see which group finishes first. Everyone in the winning group will get a small prize. "

At this time, a brave man, Zhou Dazhu, began to ask: "Uncle Sixteen, what prize can the first place get?"

Everyone present knew that this game was proposed by Zhou Yimin, and the prizes were most likely provided by Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin is well-known for his generosity in Zhoujiazhuang, which makes the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang very much looking forward to the prizes.

Zhou Yimin thought it was something else: "First place will get a pound of beef as a reward! Second place will get a pound of pork, and third place will get a pound of flour!"

When everyone heard about this reward, they immediately became interested. If they could get first place, they would get a pound of beef.

You have to know that in this era even meat is a luxury, let alone beef, which is more precious than pork and is eaten even less.

Soon everyone felt that this game was both interesting and meaningful, and they signed up to participate enthusiastically.

Soon, everyone was divided into several groups. Although there were no rules for dividing into groups, most people looked for people they were familiar with, or some powerful people to form a team.

This way your chances of getting first place will be much greater.

Soon, each group selected a representative to stand at the starting line. Zhou Yimin stood aside, acting as a referee, and shouted loudly: "Get on your marks, get set, go!"

Following the command, the contestants picked up their shoulder poles and ran towards the other side.

Some contestants walked steadily, jogging all the way and quickly reached the other side; some contestants seemed a little flustered, with their carrying poles swinging back and forth on their shoulders, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.

Among one group of contestants, there was a young man named Zhou Daming, who was always very efficient at work.

He just picked up the carrying pole and rushed out like a gust of wind.

But before he had run far, Zhou Daming discovered that his shoulder pole was a little unbalanced, and the stones in the basket kept falling down.

He was running and adjusting in a panic, but the situation got worse and worse, and finally he fell to the ground with the carrying pole.

The surrounding villagers were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

Zhou Daming was not angry. He got up, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "This stone is too naughty. I have to teach it a lesson."

As he said this, he picked up all the fallen stones, then picked up the shoulder pole again and continued running forward.

The reward involves a pound of meat, and no one wants to miss this opportunity, so everyone puts all their efforts into competing for first place.

On the track, the contestants were chasing each other and the competition was very fierce.

The contestants in the fourth group cooperated well with each other and their movements were smooth when handing over the carrying poles, with almost no wasted time.

Their steps were consistent, each one solid and powerful, and they gradually gained the upper hand in the competition.

Although the contestants in the fifth group were a little slower, they were calm and steady. They carried the shoulder poles steadily and moved towards the finish line step by step.

As the game progressed, the atmosphere became more and more heated. The audience cheered for the team they supported, and cheers and cheers came one after another.

The children ran around in the crowd excitedly, cheering for the contestants and looking curiously at the progress of the game.

The women talked about the contestants' performances while laughing, and at the same time they were worried about them, because they all wanted their sons or husbands' group to win first place.

Finally, the last runner in the fourth group sprinted across the finish line.

Zhou Yimin waved a small red flag and announced loudly: "Group 4 wins!"

The scene immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

The members of the winning team hugged each other excitedly, their faces filled with the joy of victory.

However, rewards are not only given to the first place. Since you can’t get the first place, then try your best to get the second place, or the third place. As long as there is a reward, it’s fine.

Soon the second and third place appeared, and at this time, Zhou Yimin announced the end of the game.

The group that didn't get a ranking could only feel dejected, as they were clearly just a little short of the mark.

There were even some people who were blaming their team members, saying that if they had been a little faster, they would have gotten a higher ranking.

Seeing this, Zhou Yimin could only offer small prizes: "For those who didn't get a place, don't be discouraged. I have prepared a small prize."

Those who did not get a ranking were immediately happy after hearing this. Even if they did not get a ranking, at least they got a consolation prize.

The celebration lasted till late at night and the enthusiasm of the villagers did not diminish at all.

Everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, forgetting the daily hard work and fatigue.

The old branch secretary was also very happy when he saw this. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He had been busy for so long and if he didn't relax, he was afraid that the taut string would suddenly break.
