re is a story about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that it is to memorate Qu Yuan, a loyal minister of the ancient state of Chu. He was thrown into the river and died. Local residents rushed to rescue him. They didn’t catch it for a long time. They threw zongzi down to feed the fish, which gradually became a custom. The Dragon Boat Festival also has the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. We also have customs here, that is, eating zongzi, hanging wormwood and sticking gourd. This year’s Dragon Boat Festival, my mother and I pasted exquisite gourds and wormwood on the gate. I heard that this can exorcise evil spirits. Today’s food is zongzi. Grandma is going to make zongzi. I hurried to watch it and couldn’t wait to help. In the past, I saw two kinds of zongzi, one made of bamboo leaves and the other made of bamboo tubes. Zongzi fillings are also varied, including red dates, bean paste, fruit and meat fillings. These fillings are sticky and sweet in the mouth. They are very delicious. Grandma prepared red dates and bean paste stuffing today, which are all my favorite. Grandma first rolled the bamboo leaves into a cone, then put the soaked red dates or bean paste stuffing in, then put some rice, then wrapped the bamboo leaves, and then tied the zongzi with thread. In this way, many zongzi were wrapped continuously. I also learned to make a bag. It took me a long time to make one. Although it looks ugly, I thought that I would eat my own zongzi in a moment. Don’t mention how happy I am! After the dumplings were wrapped, grandma took the pot and added half a pot of water, so she put the dumplings in the pot and cooked them. Zongzi boiled for half an hour. After the ceasefire, it was stuffy for half an hour. The fragrant and hot zongzi finally came out of the pot. Mother also carefully prepared a sumptuous meal. After dinner, the whole family sat around the table and ate the sweet and delicious zongzi. Every face was full of happy smiles. This year’s Dragon Boat Festival, I feel very happy. I not only understand the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, but also learn to make zongzi and eat sweet and delicious zongzi. Today, under the leadership of Mr. Zhang, we came to Tesco to make zongzi. Today, we are making zongzi in the form of petition, and the finished zongzi are not eaten at home, but sent to the nursing home of Guangyang District Civil Affairs Bureau, so we are very proactive. When we arrived at Tesco, the teacher said that we could form a group. I formed a group with my mother and Xing Lu. The petition began. The three of us divided our work and cooperated. I was responsible for putting rice, Xing Lu was responsible for putting dates, and my mother was responsible for wrapping dates. Our cooperation was very happy, so we wrapped a lot of zongzi in two minutes and won the first place. After making zongzi, we took the shuttle bus to the nursing home. The environment of the nursing home is very good and the hygiene is also good. It can be seen that the elderly are enjoying a happy old age here. Tesco also brought many delicious fruits to the elderly. When we gave our “booty” to our grandparents, we had an unspeakable joy in our hearts. Before leaving the nursing home, the old people told us to study hard, make progress every day and be a person who contributes to the society in the future. I like this activity very much, because making zongzi makes us experience the happiness of labor in practice. Giving zongzi to the elderly shows our care and blessing to our grandparents.
