The Book of Songs records that "May Song", which is a cicada. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info means that in May, the people broke the ground and started the first song of summer, so May is also called "Mingshu".
In ancient times, the Han people also used the twelve earthly branches to match the twelve months, and May was also called the "noon moon".
The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the "Chongwu Festival", which is one of the traditional Chinese festivals, so May is also called "Duanyang" and "Duanyue".
Spring and Autumn thought that there would be no festival she knew when she traveled to this dynasty that was not recorded in history, but God gave her a big surprise, and there was actually a Dragon Boat Festival here.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a festival set to commemorate Qu Yuan, in fact, when the Spring and Autumn Period found books in the study room, it should have been thought of, it turned out that the culture here is so familiar.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was this festival, from ancient times to the present, due to the vast area, many ethnic groups, plus many stories and legends, there are different customs in various places. Its contents mainly include: the daughter goes back to her parents' house, hangs the bell Kui statue, welcomes the ghost boat, hides the noon, posts the noon leaf charm, hangs the calamus, wormwood, swims all kinds of diseases, wears a sachet, prepares the livestock, races the dragon boat, competes, hits, swings, paints realgar for children, drinks realgar wine, calamus wine, eats five poison cakes, salted eggs, zongzi and seasonal fresh fruits, etc.
But no matter how it changes, the custom of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival remains unchanged, just like today, Yang Li and Gu Yuan are wrapping zongzi in the kitchen, happily welcoming the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming, who were studying, also went home early because of the festival, and Yang Li asked Old Man Yang and his three sons to get up early and go up the mountain to make snacks come back in order to make this festival more lively.
So except for a few small ones in the Yang family, the adults are very busy now.
Chunqiu was very excited, so he ran to the kitchen to help Yuan's make zongzi.
"Mother, you just let me come~" Chunqiu was too young, Yuan was a little worried that she would not be able to wrap well, so she didn't agree, but this made Chunqiu very frustrated, so she had to follow Yuan's ass back and forth.
"Poof... Don't follow your mother, your mother is about to be dizzy by you" Yuan Shi looked at the girl behind her who could hang a lamp oil bottle on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help laughing.
"Mother, if you ask me to wrap it, I won't follow you, otherwise I will keep following until you agree" Chunqiu said with his mouth, and the movements around him did not stop, several boys in the family would not go to the kitchen, and the rest of Sister Chunni was packing, Sister Chunhua had already run away, and she could be regarded as helping to share it.
"The villain doesn't think a lot, will you wrap it? Your grandma is not here now, otherwise what if you pack the wrong grandma and want to beat you? Mother can't save you" Yuan looked at the girl's stubborn temper and couldn't do it, what is there to pack this zongzi, I want my daughter to rest, and I sent it to the door by myself.
"No" Chunqiu shook her head seriously, very disdainful of her mother's plan to fool her, "Grandma likes me, so she won't scold me" Hmph, Chunqiu is arrogant in her heart, her grandma is a good granddaughter called her, so she won't scold her for such a trivial matter.
Yuan didn't speak after listening here, but Chunni, who was helping over there, was envious of this little cousin, the second aunt was really good to her, Chunni sighed in her heart, and secretly glanced at the mother who was hurrying up to work next to her, and her heart was inevitably a little unbalanced, why didn't her mother care about her? She had been wrapping up for hours, and her hands were red.
"Okay, okay, don't grind, go and play with your second brother, and you can send the zongzi when they come out of the pot for a while" Yuan thought about it, and still picked a simple job for his daughter, and sent zongzi to the same clan.
Chunqiu looked at Yuan's non-negotiable expression, his face was very disappointed, he knew that this was the maximum, forget it, if you don't wrap it, you won't pack it, it's not bad to send zongzi, you must know that every time you go to send zongzi, there is a return gift, thinking of this, Chunqiu is not as annoyed as before, and agreed crisply, and then ran out happily.
"Poofha" Gu Shi saw that the Spring and Autumn Run was gone, and suddenly laughed on the side, and said while rolling the zongzi leaves, "Brother and sister, Qiu'er, this girl is really rare, and I know how to help you work, you look at the dead girl in my family's flowers, you can't see anyone when you get up" Although Gu Shi scolded when he mentioned Chunhua, the corners of her mouth were upturned, although she only knew how to eat as a girl, but she had also picked up a lot of duck eggs before, and gave Gu a lot, which made Gu very satisfied, it seems that her daughter is not stupid at all, and she knows how to keep some.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you still envy me, look at Nier, you can be alone, sister-in-law, you can enjoy it, how can it be like me, still worrying" Yuan Shi waved his hand again and again when he heard Gu's words, although he agreed in his heart, he still praised Yang Chunni who was working next to him.
"Second aunt, how can I be as capable as you say" Yang Chunni was happy in her heart, but she was still embarrassed on her face.
"Hey, I'm sorry, what the second aunt said is the truth, don't believe it, ask your mother, how capable my Nier is, which kid will be cheaper in the future" Yuan quipped.
Chunni's face was even more crimson, looking like a ripe red apple, which made Yuan's heart even happier.
"That's not it, my Nier doesn't say anything else, she is a good worker" Gu Shi is also tolerant, and looks at the eldest girl next to him with some pride, this is cultivated by himself, in addition to being a little shy and shy, he really can't find a mistake, the more Gu Shi thinks about it, the more satisfied he is, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth is getting bigger and bigger.
When Yang Chunni heard her mother praise her like this, she suddenly felt that her previous efforts were not in vain, and her movements in her hands were even faster, the three of them were happy in the kitchen, and the study on the other side was also in full swing.
After Chunqiu ran out, he thought about it and thought that he really had nowhere to go, and the second brother was finally at home today, and he hadn't seen the beautiful boy for more than half a month, so Chunqiu really thought about it.
Chunqiu stood in the yard with big eyes and took advantage of no one, and hurriedly stole a few pieces of corn candy made by grandma and put them in the palm of his hand, ready to bribe her second brother, you must know that ancient women were illiterate, although Yuan's was literate, but because of the tea matter, she was busy and didn't have time to teach her, and the most important thing was what if she was found to be literate?
Just do it, while her second brother is not busy today, Spring and Autumn began to act.
"Buckle buckle... Buckle buckle"
"Come in" Yang Chunming was sitting in the study practicing writing, and when he heard the door ring, he replied, and then continued to finish the unfinished big characters.
After hearing the acquiescence of the second brother, Chunqiu carefully pushed open the door, turned around and closed it gently, in the Yang family, especially before entering the study, he asked to knock on the door first.
Chunqiu looked at the scene not far away: a beautiful young man wearing a cyan robe was writing there stroke by stroke, his ribbed fingers holding the brush, and the sunlight sprinkled on the rice paper through the windowsill, which looked even more free and easy.
Chunqiu watched while wiping the non-existent saliva at the corner of her mouth, her second brother is really good-looking, he has such a temperament at a young age, Chunqiu doesn't have to think about it to know, when her second brother grows up, there are many girls who want to bump into the deer.
"Hmm, why is Qiu'er here?" Yang Chunming had just finished writing the last page in large letters, when he looked up and saw Chunqiu standing at the door, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
The eyebrows are picturesque, and the cold is like jade.
The lethality of her second brother is really too great! Chunqiu was directly frightened by the beauty in front of him, but the thoughts in his heart overcame the only remaining reason, and then under Yang Chunming's somewhat surprised gaze, he said his intention, "Second brother, I want to know how to read."
"Literacy?" Yang Chunming thought it was ordinary play, but she didn't expect her sister to want to read and write, and she was a little stunned at the moment!
"Well, it's literacy" Chunqiu looked at the second brother who was already stupid, and continued, and at the same time looked at Yang Chunming seriously with his big eyes to prove that what she said was serious.
Yang Chunming had already reacted at this time, and hurriedly walked out from behind the table, bent down to meet Chunqiu's line of sight, looked at the persistence in Chunqiu's eyes, and just smiled, "Tell my brother, why do you want to read and write?" Yang Chunming was just curious about his sister's thoughts, now that his sister is only five years old, how can he understand so much?
"Because there are a lot of pictures in my mother's place, but Qiu'er can't understand it," Chunqiu said the pretext he had come up with.
As soon as Yang Chunming heard it, he understood, it turned out to be his mother's picture book, just some biographies, Yang Chunming had already seen them, but he didn't expect his sister to like these too, "Yes, Qiu'er wants to read and write, my brother will teach you"
"Really, second brother, you are so good" Chunqiu reached out and hugged Yang Chunming's neck after hearing it, with an excited face, her brother is really good.
"Is it okay to let go first, my brother's neck is going to break" Yang Chunming felt the huge pressure on his neck, and said a little angrily, his sister's strength was a little too strong, and he secretly decided that he would strengthen his exercise, otherwise he would be embarrassed in the future.
Chunqiu stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and let go of his hands, wasn't he uncontrollable?
"Okay, come here, I'll teach you to write your name first" Yang Chunming stretched out his hand and led Chunqiu to the back of the table, picked up Chunqiu and put it on the chair, took out the brush he didn't use before, dipped it in ink and said.
"Well, I know" Chunqiu nodded seriously, she will definitely study hard.
Chunqiu watched Yang Chunming write Yang Chunqiu's three big characters on the straw paper one by one, her brother's writing was really amazing, although she didn't understand what the pen was, but she just felt that the word was good.
"Okay, you hold the pen, I'll take you to write" Yang Chunming took out a brush that looked very small and handed it to Chunqiu, and then corrected Chunqiu's mistakes over and over again, reaching out to hold Chunqiu's little hand with practice.
By the time Chunqiu was proficient in writing his name, Yuan was already calling at the door.
After hearing this, Chunqiu hurriedly put down the brush, jumped down from the chair, reached out and grabbed Yang Chunming on the side, and said with a smile, "Second brother, how about going with me to deliver zongzi."
"Okay" Yang Chunming unexpectedly agreed, anyway, his homework has been done, and he can relax after a trip.
"Then let's go, my mother can't wait" After Chunqiu heard her second brother agree, she hurriedly dragged her second brother out.
"Slow down, don't fall" Yang Chunming stretched out his hand to stop Chunqiu, and after holding the other party's hand tightly, he went out together.
Yuan was waiting at the door at this time, and was a little surprised when he found that his son and daughter had come out, "You guys are sending it together?"
"Well, mother, son, I haven't been back for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to go to my grandfather's house to have a look," Yang Chunming replied with a bowed head.
"It should be so, then you go together, this is the zongzi you want to send to the eldest grandfather's family, you take it" Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand and handed the basket in his hand to Yang Chunming.
"Mother, then let's go" Chunqiu shook his head on the side.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road," Yuan instructed.
"Got it, mother, my son is gone" Yang Chunming nodded, pulled Chunqiu and walked towards the door, Yuan looked up, and returned to the kitchen to be busy, in addition to the grandfather's house, there were several other households that had not been delivered.
