When I was a child, my family’s life was not rich and we were often troubled by trivial matters such as food, rice, oil and salt. But my mother is also a person with a strong sense of ritual. She always hums a song and takes care of the trivial matters of life in an orderly manner, and then opens the door and waits for us to come home.
Like other places, our Dragon Boat Festival customs in northern M88 login are nothing more than eating rice dumplings, planting mugwort, and wearing sachets... It is worth mentioning that in my hometown, there is a saying that "the toad hides the Dragon Boat Festival". Rumor has it that the toads on the Dragon Boat Festival are the most poisonous and of the best quality.
Once, because the weather was too hot, I didn’t go out and stayed at home to watch my mother make rice dumplings. I saw her first taking out a thick pot of rice dumpling leaves, carefully soaking and washing them, and then like magic, she took out the soaked glutinous rice and northern M88 login jujubes from nowhere. The plump red jujubes reflected the full bowl.
After the rice dumplings come out of the pot, my mother will pick them out for a few nights to eat. Then, the rest were divided up and given to relatives and neighbors, the grandma next door, dad’s coworkers, and mom’s colleagues.
As I grew older and my life gradually became richer, I realized that rice dumplings can be both sweet and salty. Nowadays, there are rice dumplings with various fillings in the freezers of shopping malls, but the most classic red date glutinous rice rice dumplings seem less eye-catching.
Only then did I realize that for us, the Dragon Boat M88 login is just a commemoration of the fifth day of May, but my mother’s Dragon Boat M88 login started a week in advance. She always prepares surprises for everyone like a child, treating the Dragon Boat M88 login as a grand M88 login like the Spring M88 login and the Mid-Autumn M88 login, allowing everyone to share her joy and her Dragon Boat M88 login.
It is said that time makes people grow old. Today, my mother is not as skillful in making rice dumplings as she used to be, but she still maintains this habit. On Mother's Dragon Boat M88 login, you don't need to plant dogwood or wear sachets, only rice dumplings are essential.
