Chapter 289
"Yeah, I haven't been here for many years!"
Li Feng smiled.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the family's New Year's goods were bought by Li's parents.
Li Feng would not go out with them.
New Year's goods, that is, buying those things, and there is no meaning in doing it every year.
When he was a child, Li Feng also liked to go out to buy New Year's goods.
Buying New Year's goods should be something that every child likes to do when they are young.
They can buy a lot of snacks they like today, and even ask for a few toys.
After Li Feng grew up, he was not very interested in snacks and toys, so he didn't like to buy New Year's goods.
Of course, now that Li Feng has started a family, buying New Year's goods naturally requires the head of the family to come out.
The two walked hand in hand, strolling, talented men and beautiful women, very harmonious.
Although they said they came to buy New Year's goods, Li Feng and Chu Yanran didn't buy too many things here.
Basically, they didn't buy food or drinks, and they mainly bought things like Spring Festival couplets, paper-cuts, lanterns, etc.
As for food, they will go to a high-end mall to buy it later.
It's not that they dislike the things here, but they have money and always want to buy something better.
The things here are uneven, and it is not necessarily possible to choose good things at once.
The two walked around, bought a lot of New Year's goods, and then prepared to leave.
There are more and more people here, so many that the signal station is almost crowded.
It takes a long time to respond to scanning code payment.
Li Feng saw that many people were using cash payment. At first he was a little unimpressed, but now it seems that these people are experienced.
At this time, I am afraid that only cash is the best.
Fortunately, they have finished, picked up the things and prepared to leave.
However, just as they walked to the exit, the two suddenly saw a group of people gathered at the street corner, and they seemed to be talking about something.
"Hubby, what are you doing there? Let's go over there to join in the fun?"
Chu Yanran pulled Li Feng and was about to walk over there.
"Huh? Wife, didn't you like to join in the fun before?"
Li Feng asked curiously.
Chu Yanran used to be not interested in these excitements at all, and would not join in the fun.
What happened today?
"Hehe, isn't it the New Year? Maybe there will be something fun?"
"I haven't been to such a lively place for many years. If I miss anything interesting, it would be a pity!"
Chu Yanran said with a smile.
"Since we are here anyway, let's go and take a look?"
Chu Yanran said while shaking Li Feng's arm and acting coquettishly.
How could Li Feng stand this? He agreed immediately.
So, the two of them came to the crowd hand in hand and squeezed in.
After squeezing to the front, the two of them immediately knew what happened here.
A 17 or 18-year-old girl wearing a somewhat old down jacket was kneeling on the ground begging.
Next to him, there was a billboard saying that his father's leukemia surgery cost 200,000 yuan, but they couldn't get it together.
They could only come here to beg kind people for donations.
Under the billboard, there is a middle-aged man lying on a hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask, who looks like a real person.
However, whether it is true or not is unknown.
Begging is not allowed in this place, which affects the image of the city.
At this time, two men who look like city administrators are persuading the girl to leave.
It is normal to persuade her to leave. It is a big festival, and everyone is happy. You are begging here. Isn't this a spoiler?
Moreover, begging here will cause some unnecessary trouble.
If there is a riot or even a stampede, it will be troublesome.
Or, this is a terrorist who is here deliberately, which is also very scary.
Even if it is not scary, such a beggar here also affects the image of the city.
Therefore, it is normal for the urban management to drive away the little girl.
"Little girl, go away! Don't embarrass us!"
The urban management is still polite and patiently persuaded.
"Uncle, I'm not a liar. My father is really critically ill and needs 200,000 yuan. If I hadn't been unable to raise the money, I would definitely not come here to beg!"
The little girl looked up at the urban management officer stubbornly.
Her nose was red, obviously frozen by the cold weather.
Although Shanghai is in the south, there is no sun today.
It is still very cold on a day without the sun.
Although the cold won't kill people, it's easy to get frostbite.
If the girl's nose is not kept warm in the future, it is very likely to get frostbite.
In addition to the noseThe girl's eyes were red, obviously she had cried.
"Alas, it's not that we don't sympathize with you, it's just that you can't beg here!"
"We didn't use force because you were a little girl. If it were someone else, we would have definitely chased you away!"
The urban management explained patiently.
The two urban management officers were also in their forties, and the little girl in front of them was about the same age as their daughter.
Regardless of whether the little girl was lying or not, they would at least think of their daughters when they saw the little girl, so they were reluctant to use force.
If it were an adult, they would definitely chase the other person away according to the regulations.
However, the urban management officers were kind, but the people around them who were just watching the show were not necessarily so kind.
"Comrade of the Urban Management Bureau, stop talking to this girl. She must be a liar. Just chase her away."
"That's right. It's a scam from 20 years ago. It's nothing new."
"Now, even if you don't have money to see a doctor, you can raise money online. Crowdfunding is much faster than begging."
"That's right, little girl, if you are not a liar, you can start a crowdfunding. I don't have much money, so I can sponsor you one thousand!"
"By the way, doesn't crowdfunding have a commission? It is said that the commission is very high?"
"That's better than begging here and not being able to raise even a few hundred yuan a day!"
"Anyway, I was cheated before. I just donated money, and the person actually got on a Mercedes-Benz and left in the afternoon."
"Wow, you can buy a Mercedes-Benz with this? This is too profitable, isn't it?"
"This is taking advantage of the kindness of human nature to make money, so these people are more hateful."
"I understand, I won't donate anyway!"
...
The people around pointed at the girl, and most people thought she was cheating.
Yes, now the Internet is so developed, if you really don't have money to see a doctor, you can just crowdfund on the Internet.
There is a willing appraisal report, and there are dedicated people to review the assets, the authenticity is very high, and everyone is more willing to believe it.
Although the platform has a commission, it is much easier than begging outside.
Among beggars, ninety-nine out of a hundred are scammers.
The remaining one is begging with his own talent, that is a walking artist, not a beggar.
