dragon boat festival In my memory, it seems that the dragon boat festival is not a big day. When I was a child, our family just eat some zongzi and the red eggs all together. Until now I still do not understand why the egg is red. On that day there should be a dragon boat race, but I have never seen it once. My grandmother is very versatile, she made the zongzi all by herself. When I was little, normally we put the jujube in the zongzi and eat with some sugar. But now, we can put almost everything in it, such as pock, salty yolk, even chocolate. However, the taste of this new-style zongzi is not as good as that made by my grandmother. What's more, the price of the zongzi became increasingly higher and higher. After I came to Beijing for my college study, I have no oppotunity to eat the zongzi made by my grandmother, but in order to add some festival atmosphere, I bought four in the supermarket but finally I only ate one. I miss the good old days when I was in my hometown, I could play games with my brothers and sisters, I could share a family dinner with all my relatives.
