My hometown is in the mountainous area in the northeast. The mountains around the village are undulating, "beautiful and misty." A clear stream overflows in the towering mountain stream and flows through the village where the smoke is filled and the chickens and dogs crow. For thousands of years, simple and peaceful villages have been lying quietly in the arms of mountains, absorbing the aura of the earth and bathing in the brilliance of the sun.
Soon after the wild rhododendron blooms, it is the Dragon Boat Festival. So, I was in a foreign country and recalled the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown. Many customs, like other places, are tied with a hundred ropes. At three or four o'clock in the morning the night before the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother got up and tied a colorful rope around the child's hand and neck. The strings faded, stained with water, and the wrists were dyed red and blue, which was very fun.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, when the first rain fell, my mother quietly untied her voice and threw it into the water to be washed away by the rain.
A series of small treasure lanterns are folded with colored paper and hung on the lintel, symbolizing a year's bumper harvest and food and clothing.
What I remember most is the Dragon Boat Festival when I was 8 years old. That year, for some reason, I grew a big, purple and swollen pustule, which made me fidget. At this time, Grandpa Bayi said, "Mao Mao, wait, I'll get some Artemisia." He didn't come back until the afternoon. I heard that this thing can cure all diseases if it is boiled in water and washed in water. After I took a shower, the pain really stopped. On the third day, it will be fine.
Afterwards, I asked Grandpa Bayi why. He said: "You are lucky to be on the Dragon Boat Festival, otherwise, you will be enough!" " I still don't understand what he means. Probably because it coincides with this magical festival in the world!
You should also soak in Dragon Boat Festival wine in your hometown. After the first rain in spring, every household has put the Dragon Boat Festival wine into the ground for deep fermentation. There are six things in it, namely: jujube, litchi, medlar, olive, longan and almond. The Dragon Boat Festival wine is fragrant at the entrance, which can be described as a "spring wine bottle". Dragon Boat Festival wine can also make people live forever! ! ! Today, my mother cooked the same thing, with the same materials, but the taste was different after the entrance. I reminded my mother: "You use the wine here, not the wine brewed in your hometown!" " "
My mother and I have been away from my hometown for many years, but the mountains, rivers and customs of my hometown can never be erased from my mind. This year's Dragon Boat Festival is over. I want to ask: folks, have you brewed Dragon Boat Festival wine again?
