I really don't want to be a teacher

The lights are reflected in the shops mixed with street lamps, under the swaying lights,

On the bank of the river, some pedestrians walked by, and there were more vendors parked to set up their stalls.

Pedestrians are either rushing home, or coming out to eat in twos and threes, walking through the street,

Or a few old people who ate early, went out for a walk, and chatted about the children and children in the neighborhood.

All kinds of sounds are mixed in the sound of the river flowing in the river,

Ringing in Lian Ge's ear,

Lian Ge listen, watch,

Under the street lamp, a few flying insects lingered against the lamp,

The hanging willow branches swayed back and forth slightly.

Then go down from the side steps, near the water platform,

At this moment, there was no one there, only candles and incense sticking between the cracks of the rocks, still burning.

Pairs of candles are flying upwards with flames, a stick of incense is sparkling, and green smoke is lingering and rising,

The flickering flames on the candles dispelled the permeating night, and then toward the shore, some lights were swayed on the river, and the shadows of green smoke were reflected on the top of the platform.

From time to time, a fresh breeze with water vapor blows ashore,

Shaking willow branches, disturbing the skirts of passers-by,

On the winding platform near the water, rising smoke,

The candlelight reflected on the river swaying on the bank.

Glancing at the burning candles and the rising green smoke on the platform near the water, Lian Ge paused his gaze, and then turned his gaze away.

Next to him, looking at the river surface reflecting the lights on both sides of the river, the middle-aged man who was a little lost in thought turned his eyes a little more,

His eyes flicked over the platform near the water with the burning candles and smoke, and after a slight pause,

The middle-aged man raised his head again and looked towards the shore.

On the shore, on the street, pedestrians are bustling,

The children ran happily on the sidewalk, and the adults smiled and greeted the children,

The couple walked together, still holding the freshly bought vegetables in their hands, talking about some household chores, and walking home with trivial matters during the day,

Old people, in twos and threes, fanned the fan to drive away mosquitoes, walked a few steps, rested and chatted.

Vendors are hawking, and shops facing the street are greeting customers.

There are lights on in the distance, and people are blurry under the lights.

People passing by, some are wiping sweat, some are eating, some are talking,

It just seems to be a holiday, most of them still have smiles on their faces,

"How do you feel today, sir?"

I don't know whether I am looking at the pedestrians passing by on the street by the bank, or looking at the houses somewhere in the distance,

The middle-aged man asked aloud,

Lian Ge heard the sound, turned his eyes, looked forward along the street along the bank, and then looked at the middle-aged man,

"I feel good."

Lian Ge responded aloud, then paused,

"Sir, you might as well see for yourself."

Hearing the sound, looking at the riverside street, in the distance, some middle-aged men who were in a daze paused, then turned their eyes a little bit,

Looking at Lian Ge, after a pause, he turned his head and looked at the houses in the distance on both sides of the strait.

Looking at the middle-aged man again, Lian Ge smiled slightly,

He didn't speak any more, turned around, moved his feet, and walked towards the steps not far to the side, where the shore can go down to the platform near the water.

Behind him, the middle-aged man turned his head back, watching Lian Ge's movements,

After a pause, he also moved his foot and followed.

……

"...Mom told me to bring some more ice cream back home."

"...Why buy ice cream?"

"...isn't our mother's precious grandson..."

Lian Ge and the middle-aged man walked by the shore,

On the street by the shore, some passers-by also walked past Lian Ge,

Lian Ge just took his time, walking towards the steps that lead to the platform near the water, listening to some sounds in his ears,

The middle-aged man couldn't help turning his head again, looking at some pedestrians passing by.

A couple carrying big bags and small bags walked on the street,

The man in the couple answered the phone, smiled and said to his wife next to him,

The wife next to him also responded with a smile. The two of them were talking, and walked past Lian Ge and the middle-aged man.

"...Grandma, I want to eat this, can I?"

"...Okay, grandma will buy it for you... come, tell grandma, which one do you want to eat..."

Passing by a booth, an old lady picked up her grandson and asked with a smile.

"...this... grandma, you can eat too..."

"Grandma has bad teeth and doesn't like sweets, so eat it yourself..."

Walked through a section of the street, passed some people beside me, passed a stall,

Lian Ge led the middle-aged man up to the steps, and the middle-aged man followed and turned his head.

Without saying anything, Lian Ge moved his feet and walked down the steps to the platform next to the water.

The middle-aged man followed closely.

down the steps,

In the ear, some mixed sounds from the street seem to be far away, while in the river, the sound of the river flowing is closer.

"Get on the boat. Sir, let's see for ourselves."

Walked to the platform near the water,

The pairs of joss sticks inserted in the crevices of the rocks on the platform were still burning, with flames swaying and wax oil flowing down.

I glanced at the near-water platform, and then at the dragon boat that was tied to the near-water platform and docked on the shore.

Lian Ge smiled slightly and said something to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the dragon boat and nodded,

He turned around and looked at the shore, then moved his feet, stepped onto the dragon boat, and stood on the boat.

The dragon boat tied to the near-water platform with a rope still swayed slightly back and forth with the rippling water.

Looking at the river surface reflecting the lights on both sides of the river, Lian Ge didn't say anything more. He moved his feet, stepped onto the dragon boat, and stood at the head of the dragon boat.

The rope tied to the near-water platform slipped away, and the rope fell onto the dragon boat.

The dragon boat broke through the river again, causing some ripples and waves on the bank, disturbing the candlelight reflected on the water on the bank.

The dragon boat carrying Lian Ge and the middle-aged man gradually left the shore.

Chapter 995 Dragon Boat in the River, Fireworks on Both Sides

On the dragon boat, there are some oars scattered along the board, or leaning or falling,

On the bow of the boat, there are still drums and drumsticks.

Lian Ge stood at the bow of the boat, and the middle-aged man stood slightly closer to the middle of the boat.

Carrying Lian Ge, the dragon boat seemed to be pushed by the wind, cutting through the water surface, slightly disturbing the lights reflected on the river surface, and then quickly calmed down again.

Along the river, the dragon boat moved forward slowly.

Looking at it, Lian Ge randomly chose a seat at the bow of the boat, and sat down cross-legged on the board.

The middle-aged man looked at it and sat down on the boat.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, then turned his gaze to the distance,

The middle-aged man was sitting on the boat, raising his head and looking at the coast.

The dragon boat carrying two people has already drifted away along the river in the middle of the river. The previous offshore platform near the water, the burning incense candles on the near water platform, the clusters of swaying flames, and the lingering green smoke are also gone. is fading away,

However, most of the near-water platforms on the banks along the way are stuck with incense candles, burning clusters of flames, illuminating the approaching shore, the water surface,

The near-water platform with candles on both sides of the river stretched far away in the night.

On both sides of the river, the embankment is not too high, and the dragon boat is in the middle of the river, and some lights on both sides of the boat can be seen along the way.

The lights along the way are also reflected on the river.

From time to time, a gust of breeze blows across the water from the river bank.

Still shaking the willow branches hanging on the bank, disturbing the smoke and fire of people,

The undulating river surface brings up some water vapor on the river surface,

It also brought some voices from both sides of the strait, mixed with the sound of the gurgling river flowing from both sides of the dragon boat,

"...Boss, here are ten skewers of grilled pork belly, ten skewers... pack and take away..."

"……okay……"

Looking at the lights along the bank, listening to the voices that the breeze brings to the middle of the river from time to time,

Lian Ge sat cross-legged on the head of the dragon boat, and didn't say much.

Just watch and listen.

The middle-aged man was sitting on the boat, looking up at the shore,

I don't know if it's looking at the lights along the coast, or people, I'm a little lost in thought.

……

"Whoa..."

The dragon boat swayed slightly with the rippling river surface,

Pushed by the wind, it scratched the surface of the river and slowly moved forward along the river.

Either has passed, or is approaching the two banks along the way,

You can see brightly lit houses, shops and streets facing the river,

Hear some voices brought by the breeze blowing from the shore.

And these different scenes, different people shouting or speaking,

"...Boss, are the zongzi still on sale?"

"...Yes, yes...Hey, didn't you buy some at noon?"

"My son came back with his daughter-in-law... I bought it for the old couple at noon... It's the Dragon Boat Festival, how can there be no rice dumplings, don't you think so? I'll come downstairs and buy two more..."

"...Then congratulations, we're reunited during the holidays... Which one do you want, I'll get it for you..."

The dragon boat was slowly driving forward in the river, and in front of a shop facing the street, under the reflected lights, some voices came out,

The reflected lights mixed with the street lamps on the bank, reflected on the river surface, and the voices of some words also came to the river surface along with the breeze blowing on the bank,

"...Take meat dumplings, they like to eat them, they are more delicious..."

"...All right..."
