I love to eat delicious rice dumplings. I have seen others making rice dumplings, but I have never made them myself. Until today, it was an eye-opener for me.

I watched obediently beside my grandma, thinking that the simple process of making rice dumplings would not be difficult for me, a genius, and I would definitely become self-taught. Unexpectedly, when I actually wrapped it, I realized that it was not easy to wrap the rice dumplings beautifully and firmly.

To start, I took out two rice dumpling leaves, one large and one small, and folded a corner like my grandma, and then put a little soaked glutinous rice on the folded corner tube and put it on top. Put a few red dates on it and cover it tightly with glutinous rice. I was so proud. I didn’t expect that making the rice dumplings would go more smoothly than I imagined. When I covered the rice dumpling leaves again, the glutinous rice jumped out one after another like naughty children, refusing to obey my orders. I was so anxious that I stamped my feet, but fortunately my grandma "resolved the problem" for me - poured out some glutinous rice, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Haha, after a small setback, I finally got to the last and simplest step - tying brown rope. Don't worry, watch me show off my skills. Zongzi must be wrapped tightly to be delicious. I took the brown rope and tied the five-flowered rice dumplings in a circle first. I thought the rice dumplings made by my grandma were very old-fashioned and not good-looking, so I took it upon myself to tie a beautiful bow with the brown rope. As long as I didn’t touch the rope casually, It is also relatively strong. It's done, I picked up the rice dumplings and prepared to put them into the bowl, but I accidentally pulled the short part of the brown rope. I heard a "crash" sound, the rice dumpling leaves fell apart, and the glutinous rice rolled around like flying beads. Grains fell to the ground one after another.

I am not willing to give in. All kinds of rice dumplings are born in grandma’s hands, but I can’t even wrap one. No, I can’t back down or be discouraged. Having failed, I became more careful and successfully made many decent rice dumplings.

When we sat together and tasted the rice dumplings we made by ourselves, we felt that today’s rice dumplings were particularly sweet. Because this is the harvest of my labor!
