The Dragon Boat Festival in May is a beautiful day with clear skies and sunny weather.
Shi Nian didn't have to go to school today, so he got up early in the morning to help Shi Jin clean the house.
Because the house was old, there was some dampness in the corners. The brother and sister each took a handful of mugwort and fumigated the main room and the side room.
In preparation for the festival, Shi Jin specially made several ribbons of five-colored silk threads and helped Shi Nian wear them on his wrists and ankles. She also gave Shi Nian "Yiqi Zongzi" mixed with the Chinese medicinal herb Alpinia oxyphylla to eat, in order to bring good luck for him to be knowledgeable and intelligent.
"There is a dragon boat race at Shaoguang Ferry outside the city today. Would you like to go and have a look?" Shi Jin tied a five-poison sachet to Shi Nian, straightened the corner of his new clothes, and asked him specially.
