Time passed very quickly, Chunyu and the others were ready for all the trivial matters, the Dragon Boat Festival was coming.
Unexpectedly, Chun Yu's fourth uncle Li Wujun came from home the day before, saying that he wanted to spend the holidays with his eldest brother's family, but Chun Yu knew that he had not seen Aunt Yu for several days and was afraid that he missed her.
Chunyu watched her fourth uncle laugh until his face turned red.
Yang Yuemei and the others weren't sure why Chun Yu was laughing, but Liu Zhi knew that she was laughing at her fourth brother along with Chun Yu.
Li Wujun never thought that one day he would be laughed at by his niece and sister until he was too embarrassed to hold his head up.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Yuemei and Liu Zhi got up early.
The two of them carefully swept the courtyard.
Then I inserted mugwort on the door and hung calamus on the door frame.
There are bunches hanging on the main door, small door and stove door.
Yang Yuemei also asked Li Dajun to take mugwort and calamus to the store and hang them on the door there.
The tied Ai Men and Ai Hu were also placed in the corners of the house, and realgar water was sprinkled inside and outside the house.
After everything was done, the aunt and sister went to the stove and started cooking.
Yang Yuemei first cooked her own eggs and the duck eggs she bought separately, then dyed them red with red paper to make red eggs, and placed them in colorful cloth bags.
This is something that should be hung around the children's necks for them to eat, so that they can turn bad luck into good luck and stay safe.
When she was done, she asked Willow Branch to boil water to cook the rice dumplings, while she started to pack up the eels.
At this time, the eel is plump, tender, and delicious.
Then start making cakes and cutting cakes When Chunyu and the others got up, they could eat directly after washing up.
Chun Yu saw that the breakfast was quite rich, including small and flavorful rice dumplings, scallion pancakes, red egg dumplings, garlic egg dumplings, cakes and garlic-roasted eels.
After the whole family had breakfast, Li Dajun brought another jar of realgar wine, and both adults and children drank some symbolically.
Guo Lin came yesterday evening and said he had three days of rest, so he came to ask Chun Yu whether they would go to Dongcheng Xiangzi Lake to watch the Dragon Boat Festival together tomorrow.
Chun Yu hadn't said anything but Chun Sheng was very excited, so Chun Yu had no choice but to agree with a smile.
So today, Chuntao, Chunyan, Zhang Zaoer and Qingxing all changed into summer shirts that had been made but not yet worn.
Even Chunsheng also changed into newly made summer shirts, but Zhang Huzi didn't want to wear new shirts.
After finally having breakfast, everyone was waiting eagerly in the yard for Uncle Guo and Guo Lin to come.
It turned out that Uncle Guo drove a carriage yesterday afternoon and came with Aunt Guo to celebrate the festival with his son.
Today, Uncle Guo drove a few people to Xiangzi Lake to watch the dragon boat.
As expected, there was a knock on the door before he could wait for a while.
Chun Sheng quickly ran out and opened the door.
His anxious look made everyone laugh.
Originally, Yang Yuemei and Li Dajun couldn't talk anymore, but Chunyu insisted and pulled them out of the house.
As a result, her parents had to take care of Zhang Huzi again, because he said that he would not go and look after the house at home.
Chunyu said that once the door was locked, he was afraid of being stolen, so he pulled him out.
Guo Lin was still smiling when he stood at the gate, but when he saw Chunyu holding Zhang Huzi's arm, his expression froze.
But he quickly regained his composure and smiled as he asked Chunyu and the others to get in the car.
A group of people crowded into Uncle Guo's carriage and set off towards Xiangzi Lake.
The Xiangzi Lake rises from the edge of the East City, forms a moat directly to the east of the city, and then flows eastward into the canal.
Today, most residents in the city have put on newly made summer shirts, especially the flowery female relatives, who are walking on the streets wearing colorful and fresh summer shirts, which creates a special scenery.
Even the ladies who were raised in the boudoir came out of the boudoir with their maids and servants, and came here to play and watch the dragon boats.
As for the stalls and vendors on the street, they all took this opportunity to do business.
There seemed to be more food, tea, wine, etc. than usual.
When we went out to watch the dragon boat race today, Chunyu gave his brothers and sisters enough pocket money.
Even brothers and sisters Zhang Huzi, Zhang Zaoer and Qing Xing, Chunyu also gave some pocket money.
Chun Yu walked behind a few people and couldn't help laughing when he saw that they were all holding their purses tightly, fearing that they would be taken away by accident due to too many people.
Because there was a dragon boat race to watch during the festival, there were many people and cars on the street today.
It took them a long time to get to Xiangzi Lake in a jam.

When they got there, Uncle Guo went to look for a place to park the carriage, and Chunyu and the others went to the outskirts of the dragon boat race first.
I saw that the dragon boat race hadn't even started yet, but the spectator seats by the lake were already full, and even the surrounding area was full of people.
Chunyu even saw people climbing on the big trees outside.
Many people are waiting to watch the dragon boat race.
"Brother Lin Zi, you bought the seats you came to buy yesterday," Chun Yu asked.
If there are so many people and they can't buy tickets, then they won't be able to see it.
But they know to buy in advance, and others naturally know it too, but they don’t know whether they can buy it or not.
"That's natural."
Guo Lin said with a smile.
"There were so many people queuing up to buy seats.
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to buy one.
Unexpectedly, I saw one of my classmates selling seats and registering from a distance.
I went there and found out that he had a ticket at his house.
I am a boat racer, so I asked him to buy fourteen seats.”
"That's lucky.
If we go there earlier, we can save a while.
There are more people there and we can't squeeze in."
Chunyu said hurriedly.
She calculated that there were eleven people in her family.
The three members of Guo Lin's family had fourteen seats.
However, she thought that the most ordinary seats cost fifteen cents, let alone those middle and upper-class seats.
This was a dragon boat race.
The organizers really make a lot of money.
Hey, it's a pity that most of the people in her family are children, so they don't offer children's prices or anything like that.
"What Chunyu girl said is that there are many children in our group, so we should go there early."
Uncle Guo also said hurriedly.
"Yeah, there are so many people and I'm afraid I might accidentally lose one of my children."
Yang Yuemei also said hurriedly.
So everyone slowly squeezed forward to the seats.
Li Wujun originally wanted to pick up Chun Sheng, who had small arms and legs, and walk away, but Chun Sheng refused.
Seeing the little Chun Sheng still crowded in the crowd, the group was amused again.
After finally reaching the seats, Chunyu found that except for their row, everyone else seemed to be full.
Their seats were on the left side of Xiangzi Lake.
Because there was a shoal on the left side of the lake, they were farther away.
However, there were some wild ducks on the shoal, which somewhat affected the viewing experience.
There is no way that the middle-class and upper-class seats are on the opposite side, so it is convenient to see the lake and the lake nearby.
Especially for the first-class seats, there are rows of gorgeous boats standing on the shore.
There are seats and small square tables on them.
From a distance, there are actually some refreshments on them.
Hey, it’s true that people with the same fate have different fates.
Seeing that there were occasionally hawkers selling some food here, but they were also some fried melon seeds and peanuts, and the only drinks they had were sugar water.
Chun Yu actually missed popcorn and Coke.
