Today is the fifth day of May, a day to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It is said that on this day, every household must make rice dumplings and eat them. hey-hey! Of course my family is no exception!

Early in the morning, my mother bought bamboo leaves, red dates and glutinous rice from the market.

My mother boiled the glutinous rice in the pot first, and then took out the soaked bamboo leaves from the basin. This is when I went to the kitchen and saw that my mother was busy making rice dumplings. I immediately joined the process of making rice dumplings. I saw my mother pick up the bamboo leaves and fold them into a triangle, first put the glutinous rice, then two jujubes, then fold the bamboo leaves and wrap them, and finally tie the zongzi firmly with thread, and one zongzi is wrapped. I followed my mother's example and wrapped one bag after another. But they are not as good as those made by my mother. The rice dumplings either stick out their buttocks or show their faces. Seeing this, my mother quickly taught me the trick. My mother filled the glutinous rice tightly and compacted it, wrapped it tightly with bamboo leaves, and tied it firmly with a string. I did what my mother did and it worked! The rice dumplings were finally wrapped and cooked. I smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. I hurriedly ran over, picked up the rice dumpling and took a bite. It felt particularly delicious because it contained my hard work and sweat.
