Allow her to be pampered

Chapter 53 The Beggar

After eating some digestible meals at home, Wu Qingzhi wanted to take Chi Rong to watch the dragon boat race.

Although it is not safe to eat outside, a young girl like Chi Rong has no restraint on snacks. If she really sees a greedy snack while shopping, can she really stop her mouth?

Even though malaria is growing in the dark, everything is man-made, and the Dragon Boat Festival is also a festival to repel snakes, insects and ants, so today, the number of people traveling in Yue'an City has not decreased but increased, showing a rare excitement.

Along the river, where the streets and alleys are not crowded with people, the car drove to the road before the embankment, and could no longer drive out.

Wu Qingzhi ordered the driver to stop the car, and taught him that he can wander around by himself, as long as he waits for the owner at the end of the dragon boat race.

He and Chi Rong walked hand in hand on the road, and saw shops lined up one by one along the street, with tea, snacks, honey rice dumplings, everything you need, and some shops set up small canopies, called elegant seats, for people to sit and watch the dragon boat race.

The crowded atmosphere was really noisy, and Wu Qingzhi was a little uncomfortable. Seeing this, Chi Rong pointed to a tea stand by the river and said, "I'm so thirsty, and I really want to drink tea. Let's sit over there, shall we?"

The stall is not too big, but fortunately, the awning is facing the river beach, which is an excellent location to watch the dragon boat race.

Wu Qingzhi nodded immediately, and led Chi Rong over.

As soon as he was seated, Xiao Er immediately brought a pot of hot tea, with a smile on his face, and asked: "What would you like to drink? We also have freshly cooked lye rice dumplings at home! They are delicious, please keep your satisfy."

Chi Rong didn't expect much from the tea from the small stall. He boiled a pot of water in an iron pot and scalded the tea leaves. When he drank it, it tasted bitter but not fragrant.

Chi Rong felt that since Wu Qingzhi had to work overtime to squeeze her time, and she wanted to take her out to play, then she was always obliged to give Wu Qingzhi a good holiday experience.

"You haven't seen this kind of battle before, right? I'll make arrangements for you today." Chi Rong promised, patted his chest.

Seeing Chi Rong's confident look, Wu Qingzhi felt warm in his heart.

Standing at thirty, he has always been concentrating on work and never spending energy elsewhere.

Now that he is married, he has a young wife by his side, but it's not the husband who sings and the wife follows him, but Chi Rong who takes him to see all kinds of fireworks again.

"Chi Rong, there are so many people here, you have to keep an eye on me." Wu Qingzhi said deliberately.

Chi Rong glanced at him in distaste, didn't say much, just said to Xiao Er: "Soak roselle in water, add some rock sugar, and throw a few fresh lychees in it, can it be cooked?"

Xiao Er wasn't long-winded, he could tell at a glance that these two were well-dressed and they were distinguished guests, so there was no reason not to serve them.

So he raised his voice and shouted: "Come on! Would you like some more lye rice dumplings? My lye water rice dumplings are easier to digest than ordinary white glutinous rice! They are very sweet!"

"If you want, peel two first and I'll taste it. If it tastes good, I'll buy more and take it home." Seeing Xiaoer pointing at the golden rice dumpling, Chi Rong's eyes lit up, and he paid immediately. Just wait for the zongzi to be served.

The little boy was quick with his hands and feet, and immediately peeled off the rice dumplings, and presented two small plates, one with honey and the other with sugar.

"Let me tell you, when you come out to eat zongzi after the Dragon Boat Festival, you must dip them in sugar, not honey. The honey is actually blended with sugar."

Chi Rong said solemnly.

Wu Qingzhi felt that this statement was strange, so he lowered his voice and asked carefully: "Chi Rong, why did you say that."

Chi Rong took a big bite of the zongzi, chewing it sweetly, and said vaguely: "This season, my second uncle makes all the honey produced by the beekeepers in Yue'an City. Sell ​​it to foreigners in Russia at a high price, and you won’t lose any money.”

Wu Qingzhi couldn't help laughing, and said lightly between Chi Rong's eyebrows: "There is no business without treachery, you have learned all of this."

The two of them were chatting, and the waiter in this room made tea, brought it to the table, and invited the two of them to taste it.

Wu Qingzhi took a small sip. The boiled roselle water tasted sour, but with the addition of rock sugar and lychee meat, it immediately had a fruity aroma, which was most suitable for relieving greasy food after eating glutinous rice.

Chi Rong suddenly said excitedly: "Look, look, the dragon boat race is about to start!"

She held Wu Qingzhi's arm at once, and pointed to the river beach with the other hand.

Looking along the trend, I saw several colorful dragon boats floating on the river. It is said that there were a total of one hundred and eight people in the fore hand, which shows the grand scale of this festival.

Accompanied by a loud and sharp chant, the dragon boats rushed out bravely one after another. The neat slogans were deafening, and the crowd cheered one after another.

It is under such a warm and grand occasion that no one will notice the abnormality.

Wu Qingzhi was holding Chi Rong's shoulder slightly, watching the game with her on the river beach, but suddenly heard some intermittent voices behind him: "You can do me a favor, show mercy, and give us a bite of food..."

He turned his head sideways, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that they were two middle-aged men and women in ragged clothes, holding a thin and small boy in their arms, like a beggar, walking staggeringly begging on the street.

The three of them were begging from one shop to another, but the festival was a time when there was a constant flow of people, who would spare time to talk to them, so they drove them away impatiently.

Chi Rong was watching the dragon boat race in full swing, and didn't pay attention to the movement around her. She only felt that Wu Qingzhi's body was tilted a little, so she also turned her head and looked behind her.

"what's wrong……"

Wu Qingzhi pointed his eyes at the three beggars, but suddenly saw the woman who was probably the mother suddenly squatted down and reached out to pat the face of the boy in her arms.

Amidst the crowds, one could see that the little boy had sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion, but the skin under his eyes was red. He was probably a child from the countryside, and his complexion was always tanned like this.

But looking at the child made people feel distressed, Chi Rong couldn't bear it, so he pushed Wu Qingzhi: "Why don't we buy some food for them."

"Okay, I'll call Xiao Er to do it."

Wu Qingzhi got up and was about to call Xiaoer, but saw the unkempt man rushing over with all his might!
The man rushed straight to the stove of the stall, ignoring the boiling water in the pot, and desperately grabbed the zongzi with his bare hands!

The diners in the seat were all frightened by his desperate appearance, the store was ruined by business, naturally very angry, immediately picked up the guy and wanted to beat him out.

"You shameless beggar, you dare to smash my business, see if I don't beat you to death!"

The shopkeeper sent a few guys, armed with brooms and coal tongs, to beat the man fiercely.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, all the boilers were knocked to the ground, and screams arose everywhere.

"Chi Rong!" Seeing this, Wu Qingzhi immediately protected Chi Rong behind him, "I don't want to eat this tea, let's go quickly."

He pressed a whole coin on the table, got up and dragged Chi Rong to leave.

But at this moment, an extremely shrill scream resounded through the street!

The woman kneeling on the ground yelled: "Ah Gui, Ah Gui! The child's father, Ah Gui——Ah Gui, Ah Gui is out of breath!"

The sound was like a sharp knife, cutting a huge gap in the crowd.
