I really don't want to be a teacher

No longer flowing down with the flowing river, nor being pushed forward by the breeze,

It just stopped on the surface of the river, swaying slightly with the rippling river water.

Sitting on the boat, looking at some middle-aged men who are fascinated by the coast,

It seemed that he also felt that the dragon boat had stopped, and he also turned his gaze to the side of the river.

the front side of the river,

It is the bend of the river, the flowing river bypasses the bend, flows to the front of the dragon boat, and then passes by the sides of the dragon boat.

Just before the turn of the river, not far from the side of the dragon boat near the shore,

On the shore, there is also a platform next to the water surface, which is the same as the offshore place.

On the platform, between the stone cracks, there are some burning candles and incense sticks. Some of the incense candles are almost burnt out, and some of the incense candles are only burning their heads, and green smoke is still rising from the sticks of incense.

Behind the burning flames and smoke rising incense candles,

There is also an old man half squatting,

There was a bag on the ground beside the old man, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, and they were lighting them on the burning incense candles.

Looking at the platform, Lian Ge paused his gaze,

Next to him, the middle-aged man sitting on the boat was also looking there, a little lost in thought.

The old man held the incense and lit the candle,

I ignite the incense, shake it again, and extinguish the burning flame on the incense,

The incense rises and some smoke rises. The old man holds the incense and stands up again.

He made a bow to the river, then bent down, found a crack in the stone, and inserted a few sticks of incense firmly.

A few sticks of incense, like the one next to it, is almost burnt out, or has just been lit, with blue smoke rising upwards,

Clusters of flickering candles fell to the ground, reflecting faint shadows of green smoke.

Withdrawing his hand, the old man straightened up a little more, raised his head a little,

Looking at the river, he paused,

"...Now, life is much better than before..."

"...It's not like before. During the Dragon Boat Festival, some rice dumplings are made in the house, and they are all made of vegetarian rice... I have to go to the village who has glutinous rice to borrow some glutinous rice..."

"...It's better now, life is easier now..."

The old man spoke to the river, not sure whether he was speaking to the worshippers or to other people,

As he spoke, the old man bent his waist again, turned around slowly, and then lowered his body to look through the bag that was placed on the narration floor.

"... bang... bang..."

"...Mom, it's fireworks, set off fireworks..."

At this time, in the night, some fireworks bloomed,

The fireworks are gorgeous, illuminating the night sky,

On the shore there are children shouting joyfully,

The old man bent over to get the things in the bag raised his head and looked at the fireworks in the night,

On the boat, the middle-aged man also raised his head, looking at the fireworks in the night,

Some cloudy eyes, reflecting the blooming fireworks,

It seemed to be illuminated by the fireworks. Looking at it, the middle-aged man was a little lost in thought, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled happily.

"...You are like now, there are so many kinds of rice dumplings, there are sweet ones, some salty ones, some meat ones, some vegetarian ones, you can eat whatever you want..."

Looking at the fireworks blooming above his head, the old man took some things out of the bag again,

It's some zongzi,

Holding the zongzi in both hands, the old man turned around again,

Facing the river, throwing the zongzi in his hand into the river,

How many zongzi fell down,

One of them happened to land on the dragon boat, in front of the middle-aged man.

Chapter 997

"Whoa..."

"Boom..."

The rice dumplings that fell into the water splashed some water, and the waves made some ripples, disturbing the clusters of candlelight reflected on the river next to the bank, and then gradually became quiet again, and the rice dumplings sank to the bottom of the water.

The zongzi that fell on the dragon boat hit the board of the boat, made a slightly dull sound, and rolled half a circle.Zongzi stopped in front of the middle-aged man.

On the shore, near the water platform,

Throwing the zongzi in his hand, one of the zongzi landed on the dragon boat. It seemed that he just saw the dragon boat parked on the water not far from the shore.

Putting down his hands and bending his waist, the old man raised his head, narrowed his cloudy eyes, and looked at the dragon boat parked on the water.

The dragon boat carried Lian Ge and the middle-aged man, and it stopped quietly on the water. The downstream river passed by both sides of the dragon boat, and there were some gurgling sounds.

It's just that the dragon boat swayed slightly with the rippling river water.

The old man stood on the bank, stopped moving, and looked at the dragon boat on the river,

In the distance, the fireworks in the night are still blooming,

On the dragon boat, the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, looking at the fireworks in the night, still a little lost in thought, then lowered his head, and looked at the zongzi on the dragon boat.

After taking a look, Lian Ge got up from the dragon boat,

Moved a few steps forward, picked up the zongzi that fell on the dragon boat board,

"Old man, I wonder if you can give this zongzi to us?"

Holding the zongzi, Lian Ge turned around, stood on the dragon boat, smiled slightly at the old man on the bank, and said aloud.

His eyes were a little muddy, standing on the shore near the water platform, looking at the old man on the dragon boat on the water, listening to Lian Ge's words, some smiles appeared on his face,

"It was meant to be thrown into the river. Now that it landed on your boat, let's eat it for you."

After moving his feet, the old man paused again, and said with a smile,

Immediately afterwards, he paused again, and said something,

"This zongzi is already cooked, so you can eat it right away. It may be a little cold at this moment."

Laughing, the old man said aloud.

"Thank you, old man."

Lian Ge smiled slightly, and thanked him again.

"No thanks, no thanks, it's just a zongzi."

The old man smiled and waved his hands, then turned around,

Picking up the empty bag on the ground, holding it,

Moving his feet again, he walked onto the shore from the steps next to him, and gradually drifted away into the distance.

……

Seeing the old man walking away, Lian Ge turned his eyes a little bit, and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Taste it, sir."

Lian Ge raised his hand, handed the rice dumpling in his hand to the middle-aged man, and said something calmly.

The already cold zongzi followed closely, and then rose and diffused some heat. The glutinous rice mixed with the aroma of zongzi leaves,

Looking at the fireworks blooming in the distance in the night, the middle-aged man was in a daze, then slowly lowered his head,

In the distant night, the blooming fireworks have stopped, leaving only some lights on the ground, reflecting the night sky.

Looking at the glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in rice dumplings and tied with some threads, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little dazed,

"thanks……"

Slowly raising his hand again, the middle-aged man took the zongzi handed over by Lian Ge,

Holding the zongzi in his hand, some mist rising from the zongzi filled the eyes of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man paused for a while,

He lowered his head a little bit, held the zongzi, stretched out his hand, and carefully untied the thread that bound the zongzi, and then untied the zongzi leaves wrapped around the zongzi.

Pushing aside a little bit, revealing the zongzi,

Looking at the zongzi, the middle-aged man paused again,

He lowered his body a bit, opened his mouth a bit, raised his hand, and handed the parted zongzi to his mouth.

After taking a bite, more heat is rising from the rice dumpling.

The middle-aged man held the bitten rice dumpling in his hand and said nothing.

Just a little silent, chewing the rice dumplings in his mouth.

"How are you feeling sir?"

Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, then turned his gaze a little further, looked into the distance, and said something calmly.

"very good."

The middle-aged man finished eating the zongzi in his mouth, and responded aloud,

"thanks……"

After another pause, the middle-aged man thanked him again,

I don't know whether to thank this zongzi or others,

Holding the steamed zongzi in both hands, he raised his head again, and the middle-aged man looked far away, at both sides of the bank.

It seems to be looking at the lights on both sides of the strait, the people on both sides of the strait,

Put some more smiles on your face.

Lowered his head again, picked up the ate zongzi in his hand, put it to his mouth and ate it,

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man laughed again,

"There is still a piece of meat in it..."

After chewing a few mouthfuls, the middle-aged man smiled happily and said aloud.

Smiling again, the middle-aged man looked at the lights of the houses along the bank, and then finished the zongzi he was holding in one mouthful.

After eating the zongzi, he didn't throw away the zongzi leaves, but still held them in his hands.

Standing on the dragon boat again, the middle-aged man lowered his body towards Lian Ge,

"Thank you, sir."

The middle-aged man lowered his body and said to Lian Ge again,

"Thank you sir for ferrying me."

After saying this, the middle-aged man bowed his body to Lian Ge for a long time.

Turning his gaze around, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man with long hair in a white robe, cloth shoes, and shook his head.

"I'm not going to ferry you."

Lian Ge just said something calmly, then turned his eyes a little bit, looking at the river in the distance,

The slightly swaying river carries the dragon boat, and the lights of the people along the bank are reflected on the water.

"Thank you, sir……"

The middle-aged man just lowered his body and thanked Lian Ge again,

Just straighten up again,
