小明和丽丽是一对快乐的兄妹。今年冬至节，他们决定学习制作传统汤圆。妈妈先解释了冬至节的由来，还告诉他们汤圆代表着团圆和幸福。然后，妈妈拿出糯米粉、馅料和一些小工具。

“小明，来帮我和面吧！”妈妈说。小明用手把糯米粉和水混合在一起，虽然弄得满手都是粉，但他觉得很有趣。丽丽则负责做馅料，她用豆沙、芝麻和糖搅拌在一起，味道香甜极了。

接着，他们开始包汤圆。小明看到丽丽包的汤圆圆圆的，非常漂亮，而自己的总是裂开。他有些着急，妈妈看见了，笑着说：“不要着急，多试几次就好了！”在妈妈的指导下，小明终于学会了包汤圆。

汤圆煮好后，全家人围在一起吃汤圆，小明和丽丽一边吃一边感到温暖。小明对妈妈说：“原来汤圆这么好吃，也这么有意思！”丽丽也兴奋地说：“明年冬至节我们还要做汤圆！”

English Translation #

Xiaoming and Lili are happy siblings. This year’s Winter Solstice Festival, they decided to learn how to make traditional tangyuan. Their mom first explained the origin of the Winter Solstice Festival and told them that tangyuan symbolizes reunion and happiness. Then, their mom brought out glutinous rice flour, filling ingredients, and some small tools.

“Xiaoming, come help me knead the dough!” Mom said. Xiaoming used his hands to mix the glutinous rice flour with water. Though his hands were covered in flour, he found it very fun. Lili was in charge of making the filling. She mixed red bean paste, sesame, and sugar together, and it smelled wonderfully sweet.

Next, they began wrapping tangyuan. Xiaoming noticed that Lili’s tangyuan were perfectly round and looked great, while his often broke apart. He became a little anxious. Mom noticed this and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, practice a few more times and you’ll get it!” Under mom’s guidance, Xiaoming finally learned how to wrap tangyuan.

When the tangyuan was cooked, the whole family sat together to enjoy them. Xiaoming and Lili felt warm as they ate. Xiaoming said to mom: “It turns out tangyuan is not only so delicious but also so interesting to make!” Lili excitedly added: “Next Winter Solstice Festival, we’ll make tangyuan again!”
