(2) The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and it is also a good time for mothers to be very busy and show off their skills. Thinking of her nimble hands wrapping the rice dumplings with exquisite corners, it was as if she could immediately smell the fragrance of the rice dumplings.

(3) There are many kinds of rice dumplings made by my mother. Only a few rice dumplings with lotus seeds and red dates are made, and they are vegetarian rice dumplings specially made for offerings to Buddha. Meaty bean paste rice dumplings, pork rice dumplings, and ham rice dumplings can be offered to the ancestors, and will be called "descendants rice dumplings" after being offered to the ancestors. Eating them will protect the descendants of future generations. The most popular ones are red bean rice dumplings, white rice rice dumplings and gray soup rice dumplings. In addition to enjoying themselves as a family, they also have to give to beggars. My mother always prepares a large batch for beggars, euphemistically calling it "rich rice dumplings".

(4)My favorite thing to eat is gray soup rice dumplings. It is made by burning early straw into ashes, spreading it on a white cloth, and washing it with boiling water.

(5) On the Dragon Boat Festival, beggars came early in the morning to ask for rice dumplings. What a bustling place. I helped the long-term worker Ah Rong carry the rich rice dumplings and distributed them one by one. I was very busy. The beggar often shouts loudly: "Madam, please give more (meaning to give more). I have been here openly and secretly, and I have accumulated good fortune and good deeds to bless you with great wealth!" Mother always comes out of the kitchen and says repeatedly: "Blessed are we all? , everyone is blessed."

(6) After the beggars left, I asked my mother: "What blessings do they get from begging for food?" My mother said seriously: "Who can guarantee that they will be blessed throughout their lives. ?Who can guarantee whether you will be blessed or not in the next life? You have to cultivate yourself. The most important thing is to have good intentions at all times. Not all of them are lazy, and some of them make mistakes. It has ruined the family fortune. Some of them were harmed by the lack of good fortune of the previous generation. Look at those children who followed their parents to beg for food. What did they do wrong? What sin did they have?"

(7)My mother’s words hit me hard in the heart. So every time I see the beggars carrying babies on their backs, with their little heads dangling, basking in the sun or being drenched in the rain, I feel indescribably sad. When I handed the zongzi to the little beggar, they stretched out their dark hands to take it and said, "Thank you!" They opened their eyes wide and looked at my new clothes. Many of them are about the same age and height as me. I would think, why are they beggars? Why do I live in such a big house with good food to eat and books to read? Thinking about what my mother said, who can guarantee happiness for life, I feel scared.

　(8) Once, a little girl whispered to me: "Give me another zongzi. My grandma is sick and can't walk, so I will take it back to her to eat." I quickly gave her one. Big gray soup rice dumplings. She added: "Gray soup rice dumplings are for chewing (helping digestion), and we don't have any meat to eat!" I was very sad after hearing this, so I went to the kitchen to get her a meat rice dumpling, but she had already left without waiting for me. Very far away. I caught up and gave her the zongzi. I said, "You have a grandma, but I don't have a grandma anymore." She looked at me for a while and said, "I don't have a grandma either. My stepmother told me to say that." I asked in surprise, "Your stepmother?" She said Said: "Yes! She often beats me and pinches me with her fingernails. Look at the purple marks on my hands and feet."

(9) After hearing her words, I immediately burst into tears. I no longer thought she was dirty, so I took her hand and said, "Don't beg for food anymore. I beg my mother to take you in. You can help us with things, we can play together, and I can teach you how to read."

She looked at me quietly, shook her head and said, "I don't have this blessing." "

(10) She threw away my hand and ran away quickly.

(11) I came back and thought about it for a long time, and then told my mother. My mother was also stunned. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "I don't know how to do it comprehensively. There are too many miserable people in the world. ”

(12) The sun and the moon flew by, and the little girl begging for rice dumplings, with her sad and affectionate face, her startled eyes, and her resolute and fast running back, often appeared in my mind. In my heart, at such a young age, she really accepts her fate, or does she prefer to live a wandering life of begging. If she were still in the world, she would be an old woman in her seventies.
