Get up in the morning and go shopping to buy zongzi, because today is the fifth day of May, and the annual Dragon Boat Festival has arrived. There are many people in the street, all wrapped in big bags and small bags, and their faces are filled with holiday happiness. I quickly joined the buying crowd ... a faint fragrance made me stop looking for it. Not far in front of me, there is a middle-aged woman selling mugwort leaves. This is its faint fragrance ... Seeing it, I can't help but think of the Dragon Boat Festival that year. ...

That was when I was a freshman, because we had a custom there: on the morning of the fifth day, before the sun rose, every household had to put mugwort leaves in front of their windows to ward off evil spirits and repel mosquitoes. So we usually go to the river to pick mugwort leaves and wash our faces with the river on the fifth morning. On the evening of the fourth grade, several of our good friends discussed going to the river to pick mugwort leaves. The next morning, we set out in the dark, because it was far away, and we all went by bike. There were many people along the way, almost all for the same goal: the Daling River in our suburb. Young people are competitive, so several people are compared to racing cars. More boys than in front of us. Everyone cheered happily, which annoyed the boys. They chased them with slogans all the way. Not many people are good at cycling on the road, so we speed up to prevent them from catching up ... We saw the Daling River from a distance, and there were more and more people. We slowed down. There is a bridge on the river. Because the river is not very wide, both ends of the bridge are deep, and some are almost as high as the subgrade. Some people really grow crops. Due to the rain a few days ago, a lot of silt accumulated at both ends. We rode carefully on the bridge, but I didn't expect the boy behind us to come quietly and ride side by side with us, blowing slogans and saying, "Little girl, why don't you race?" Ride quickly! " "They are quietly squeezing us. Tragedy happened. The three of us panicked and rode into the mud by the bridge. Don't mention the mess Fortunately, it's not very deep. The three of us are not in danger, but we are all stuck in the mire with the car. I'm in more pain. I fell in a diving position, and the consequences were "terrible" ... People on the road were watching us, and no one helped us. Several of us gave a wry smile and stayed there for a while. I secretly hate those boys in my heart. When they saw the trouble, they flew away ...

The boys walking in front of us don't know what happened to us, and they can't hear us. After a while, they came back in a hurry, jumped out of the car and pulled us up one by one, regardless of the mud and the broken car of the three of us. Now everyone's interest is gone. Let's find a way to solve our dirty Grimer. We three girls came to the river under the bridge with sad faces. There are already many people there. Fishermen and mugwort gatherers are in high spirits. They stopped to look at us strangely when they saw us like this. Several of us rushed to the other side of the river and found a small puddle to wash our faces and feet first. Fortunately, we are wearing sandals, just rinse them, but what about the clothes of our three girls? Why don't you take it off and wash it? Besides, there's a date. I was in tears. At this time, our monitor saw us and came to say hello to us. One thing we know is what happened. His home is near here. He went home to get some clothes from his sister. Like thieves, we found a shabby house and changed it. Then wrap up the dirty clothes and give them to the monitor, who is responsible for washing them at home. After a long time, I don't want to pick mugwort leaves to play when I see the sun has risen. Go home quickly, or my parents will be worried. You see, all this fuss is in vain. When I got home, I lied to my parents and kept it a secret, so I fell to the bottom. Later, in the graduation guest book, our friends who went together wrote: "I will never forget our friendship, I will never forget the feelings and scenery of the Dragon Boat Festival that year ..." We couldn't help laughing. ...

"Sister, how about some mugwort?" A greeting from a middle-aged woman interrupted my memory. I smiled shyly and bought a handful of mugwort leaves and went home. For us adults, nowadays festivals seem very simple. Everything is delicious and fun, so festivals are not so attractive. I don't want to celebrate festivals as much as I did when I was a child ... After breakfast, I told my daughter about it. After listening, she cocked her head and said to me, "Mom, shall we go to Daling River next Dragon Boat Festival?" "Well, let's play again next year!" Actually, I haven't been there since that incident. Next year's Dragon Boat Festival, I will definitely go to Daling River to enjoy the unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival …
