Chapter 51

The next day, the guests welcomed an important traditional festival: the Dragon Boat Festival.

One of the key activities during the Dragon Boat Festival is making zongzi.

After breakfast, the guests headed up the mountain to gather zongzi leaves.

Lin Yi held Huo Mianmian's hand, preparing to set off.

At this moment, Shen Feng came over: "Wait for me! I'm coming too!"

Lin Yi turned and glanced at him: "Is your back better? We'll be climbing a mountain."

Lin Yi had just casually asked, but Shen Feng suddenly became agitated and tried to prove himself: "Of course it's better! Is my back that weak?!"

Lin Yi: "??"

Why is he suddenly so agitated?

"Hahaha, it seems Shen Feng really cares about his back."

"Rather than caring about his back, he cares more about his image in front of Lin Yi."

"Pfft! Does he have any good image in front of Lin Yi?"

"The comments above are harsh! Although I also think Shen Feng has no image to speak of."

"Shen Feng: You fake fans! All of you will be secretly eliminated tonight!!"

Soon, the group went up the mountain and gathered zongzi leaves.

They also picked some mugwort to hang on either side of the door frame.

Lin Yi tied a bundle of mugwort and hung it up.

Huo Mianmian stood beside him, tilting his head to watch Lin Yi's actions and asked: "Dad, why do we hang mugwort?"

Lin Yi explained: "It's said that mugwort can ward off evil spirits, bring good luck, and repel mosquitoes."

Huo Mianmian didn't expect mugwort to have so many uses and widened his eyes slightly: "Can we take some mugwort home?"

Lin Yi hadn't expected Huo Mianmian to think so far ahead and smiled: "Of course! When we leave, we can pick some more and take them home!"

Huo Mianmian nodded: "Okay~"

"It's great to educate kids like this."

"I'm going to the mountain to pick some mugwort too; it's almost like having the same thing."

"Wishing Lin Yi and Mianmian a happy Dragon Boat Festival, and everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival!!"

After hanging the mugwort and sprinkling realgar, the guests moved on to their most anticipated activity of the day: making zongzi.

After all, eating is a big deal!! Especially for food lovers, it's the most important thing!!

The hostess of the house knew how to make zongzi.

She cleaned the zongzi leaves and glutinous rice and brought out some fillings, then began teaching the guests how to make zongzi.

Lin Yi, who didn't know how to make zongzi, learned attentively.

Huo Mianmian also picked up a zongzi leaf and watched the hostess's movements with wide, round eyes.

Father and son sat properly, like obedient students.

"Ahhhh, this scene is so cute!"

"I can teach you how to make zongzi too!! So when are you coming to learn?"

"I can too! All I need are two such obedient students."

"I not only teach you but also provide three meals a day."
