2026年6月20日，星期六，夏至前一天。天气很热，阳光很好。下午四点，妈妈在厨房准备做夏至面。丽丽和小明走进厨房。“妈妈，我们想帮忙！”丽丽说。妈妈笑着说：“好啊，你们可以帮我揉面团。”她把面粉和水放进大碗里，让孩子们洗手。丽丽和小明把手洗干净，开始揉面。面团软软的，很好玩。丽丽说：“我觉得揉面团很好玩！”小明说：“我觉得有点累，但是我喜欢吃面条。”他们一边揉面，一边说话。爸爸走过来，坐在旁边看他们。爸爸说：“你们知道吗？明天是夏至。夏至是一年中白天最长的一天。古人认为，吃长长的面条可以庆祝丰收，也可以祈求健康。”小明天真地问：“面条这么长，是不是像白天一样长？”大家都笑了。爸爸说：“面条没有白天那么长，但是吃面条代表我们的美好愿望。”妈妈把揉好的面团擀成薄片，切成细细的面条。她煮了一锅开水，把面条放进去煮熟，然后捞出来放进冷水里。丽丽洗了黄瓜和胡萝卜，切成丝。小明帮忙调了芝麻酱。妈妈把面条、蔬菜和酱汁拌在一起，做成凉面。凉面闻起来很香。傍晚，全家人坐在院子里的桌子旁。太阳慢慢落下去，天边是橙色的。他们吃着凉面，觉得很凉快、很舒服。丽丽说：“这碗面是我吃过最好吃的面！”小明说：“因为是我们一起做的！”爸爸和妈妈看着孩子们，心里很高兴。他们一起享受了温暖的夏日傍晚。天黑了，星星出来了。这个夏至前一天，丽丽和小明学到了传统，也感受到了家庭的温暖。他们永远不会忘记这碗长长的凉面。

June 20, 2026, Saturday, the day before the summer solstice. The weather was very hot, the sunlight was very bright. At four in the afternoon, Mom was in the kitchen preparing to make summer solstice noodles. Lili and Xiaoming walked into the kitchen. “Mom, we want to help!” Lili said. Mom smiled and said, “Alright, you can help me knead the dough.” She put flour and water into a big bowl and told the kids to wash their hands. Lili and Xiaoming washed their hands clean and started to knead the dough. The dough was soft and fun. Lili said, “I think kneading dough is so fun!” Xiaoming said, “I feel a bit tired, but I like eating noodles.” As they kneaded, they chatted. Dad came over and sat beside them to watch. Dad said, “Do you know? Tomorrow is the summer solstice. The summer solstice is the day with the longest daylight of the year. Ancient people believed that eating long noodles could celebrate the harvest and also pray for health.” Xiaoming asked innocently, “Noodles are so long, are they as long as the day?” Everyone laughed. Dad said, “Noodles are not as long as the day, but eating noodles represents our good wishes.” Mom rolled the kneaded dough into a thin sheet and cut it into thin noodles. She boiled a pot of water, put the noodles in to cook until done, then scooped them out and put them into cold water. Lili washed cucumbers and carrots and cut them into shreds. Xiaoming helped mix the sesame paste. Mom mixed the noodles, vegetables, and sauce together to make cold noodles. The cold noodles smelled very fragrant. In the evening, the whole family sat at the table in the yard. The sun slowly went down, and the horizon turned orange. They ate the cold noodles and felt very cool and comfortable. Lili said, “This bowl of noodles is the best I’ve ever eaten!” Xiaoming said, “Because we made it together!” Dad and Mom looked at the kids and felt very happy in their hearts. Together they enjoyed the warm summer evening. It got dark, and the stars came out. On this day before the summer solstice, Lili and Xiaoming learned a tradition and also felt the warmth of family. They would never forget this bowl of long cold noodles.
