重阳节快到了，小明和丽丽去爷爷家玩。爷爷正在厨房里准备做重阳糕。丽丽问爷爷：“爷爷，重阳糕是什么味道的？”爷爷笑着说：“重阳糕甜甜的，里面还有红枣和核桃呢。”小明和丽丽都很想吃，爷爷说：“你们想不想跟我一起做？”两个孩子高兴地说：“好呀，好呀！”爷爷先拿出糯米粉，放在一个大碗里。他让小明和丽丽慢慢地加水，然后用筷子搅拌。丽丽问：“爷爷，水要加多少？”爷爷说：“一点点加，面不要太湿，也不要太干。”小明搅了一会儿，手有点累，但是他还是很认真。爷爷笑了：“小明做得不错！”然后爷爷把红枣和核桃切碎，放在糯米粉里，再放一些糖。小明说：“爷爷，我喜欢吃甜的，可以多放点糖吗？”爷爷说：“可以，但是不要太甜，对身体不好。”丽丽把米粉放进一个小蒸笼里，轻轻地压平。爷爷把蒸笼放在锅上蒸。过了二十分钟，厨房里飘出了香味。小明闻到后，口水都要流出来了。丽丽说：“好香啊！一定很好吃！”爷爷把蒸笼拿下来，一块漂亮的重阳糕做好了。小明和丽丽看着糕，都很高兴。爷爷说：“这块糕，你们想自己吃，还是送给别人？”丽丽想了想，说：“我们家隔壁的李奶奶一个人住，她一定很喜欢吃重阳糕。”小明点点头：“对！我们给李奶奶送过去吧。”爷爷非常高兴：“真是好孩子！”小明和丽丽小心地把重阳糕放在盘子里，送给隔壁的李奶奶。李奶奶打开门，看到糕，笑着说：“谢谢你们！你们真是懂事的好孩子！”小明和丽丽听了，心里甜甜的。
