The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and with the breath of the holidays, we will begin to popularize the knowledge of traditional festivals to the baby. Today's bedtime story told the child about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and "Xiao Ai's Dragon Boat Festival", and the daughter listened very seriously and had many problems. She remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, and she also knew that the Dragon Boat Festival needed to eat zongzi, row dragon boats, hang wormwood and bring sachets.
However, the daughter still prefers this small song in the picture book of "Xiao Ai's Dragon Boat Festival", humming and reading it several times.
May 5, is Duanyang,
The door is full of wormwood, and the incense is full of halls.
Eat rice dumplings, sprinkle sugar,
The dragon boat was launched into the water.
After listening to "Xiao Ai's Dragon Boat Festival", the daughter asked a question, "Mother, can't we go back to Grandma's house to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together like Xiao Ai?" This sentence made me fall into contemplation again. This year, I was unable to take the babies back to my grandmother's house, one is the special situation of the epidemic, the second is the hot weather, the round-trip journey is worried that the children are too tired, and the third is that the holiday is still a bit short, and the time is wasted on the road. I promised her that next year when the epidemic is over, my brother will grow up a little more, and we will go back to my grandmother's house for the Dragon Boat Festival together.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival seems to have come a little late, and the other day with my mother video, told her that I just ate meat dumplings, but the taste is not as delicious as her bag! Mom was chanting again, "The customs outside are really different from ours here, we must make rice dumplings after the first day of May, how can you eat them?" Do you want to send you rice dumplings this year? ”
I remember when I was a child, my mother always began to wash rice dumplings, soak glutinous rice, cut meat and cured meat, build a stove, and move a large pot after a prayer in early May. When my mother did this series of movements, several of our babies jumped up and down next to each other, especially excited. Not only to start wrapping rice dumplings, but in these few days, our family will be particularly lively, and there will soon be large gatherings and dinners at home, but we can't escape the work of washing rice dumpling leaves together.
The taste of the rice dumplings wrapped by the mother seems to be very popular, and relatives and families love to eat the meat dumplings of the mother's bags. Uncles, aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law have to come back every year to pack together, so the amount of work to pack zongzi is very large, I remember at least three or five hundred zongzi, and zongzi is not small, every year to cook three big pots. This year, I asked my mother how to arrange it? The mother was very excited, and replied loudly: "Only you don't come back to eat zongzi, uncle they will still come to the house like the same, but they are older, there are not so many zongzi in the bag, and it is good to pack a little meaning." After listening to my mother's words, my heart was also instantly darkened, since I got married, the opportunity to accompany my mother to wrap rice dumplings with my mother was getting less and less.
I remember that the fire of my family cooking rice dumplings is not the same as other people's homes, my mother insisted on cooking rice dumplings with firewood, she said that the rice dumplings that boiled out like this were particularly delicious, so she began to collect firewood and split firewood a few days ago, boiling rice dumplings This kind of physical work, no one wants to do it, one is the hot weather, no one is willing to gather around the boiler, the second is that a boiling has to be boiled for more than ten hours, sometimes from one or two o'clock in the afternoon to boil, the middle also has to add water, add firewood, turn the rice dumplings, have to stay up until one or two o'clock in the morning before starting the pot. After starting the pot is also a big project, to pick up the rice dumplings one by one and put them cool... In the middle of the night, it is usually the mother who is doing this alone, and then the next day she will pack a bag for us to send a few babies to relatives one by one.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother would load a plate of rice dumplings and start worshiping again. Then went to the field to pick the mugwort leaves, vine came back to boil a large pot of bath water, the mother said that this is dragon water, let us a few children take turns to take the dragon water bath. The baby girl also had to use the leaves of pomegranate flowers to dye red nails, and I also forgot that the custom of dyeing nails was to commemorate what, that is, now it seems that there are fewer nails dyed. Now her mother still prepares a "dragon bath" every year, and this love has been passed on to her grandchildren.
I miss the taste of my mother's rice dumplings, in previous years I have persuaded my mother not to express rice dumplings to me, because from Hainan to Fujian, the courier fee is still quite a lot, if I want to eat, when I go home, I will give me a bag, or I will wrap it myself. This year, I want to be willful, and I want my mother to send her love for me, and let her know that I miss her rice dumplings.
