七夕节快到了。晚上，丽丽和小明在院子里看星星。

小明说：“姐姐，我想听牛郎织女的故事，你可以再讲一遍吗？”

丽丽笑着说：“好，我来讲，你听。”

奶奶走过来说：“我来给你们讲吧。很久以前，牛郎和织女相爱了。王母娘娘很生气，用银簪画了一条银河，把他们分开了。每年七月初七，喜鹊会搭成鹊桥，让他们见面。”

小明问：“奶奶，他们现在就在天上吗？”

丽丽说：“这个故事真好听，我有点想哭。”

奶奶笑着说：“别难过，七夕节是团圆的日子。我们也要开心地过节。”

第二天，丽丽教小明做巧果。丽丽说：“我来和面，你来看。巧果是用面粉、糖和鸡蛋做的。”

小明说：“姐姐，我可以学会吗？”

丽丽回答：“当然可以，我来教你，你跟着我做。”

他们做了很多巧果。妈妈把巧果放进锅里炸，不一会儿，香香的巧果就做好了。

小明想给姐姐一个惊喜。他找了一些彩色的线，编了一条彩色的手链。手链有红色、蓝色和黄色，很漂亮。

七夕节晚上，小明把手链送给丽丽。他说：“姐姐，这是我自己编的手链，送给你。”

丽丽很高兴，她说：“谢谢你，小明！你编得真好。我们一起吃巧果吧。”

他们坐在院子里，吃着巧果，看着天上的星星。奶奶笑着说：“看，牛郎星和织女星今天特别亮。”

丽丽和小明都笑了。这个七夕节，他们过得很快乐。

English Translation #

The Qixi Festival was coming soon. In the evening, Lili and Xiaoming were in the yard looking at the stars.

Xiaoming said, “Sister, I want to hear the story of Niulang and Zhinü. Can you tell it again?”

Lili smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll tell it. You listen.”

Grandma came over and said, “Let me tell you the story. Long ago, Niulang and Zhinü fell in love. The Queen Mother of the West was very angry. She used a silver hairpin to draw a river, the Milky Way, and separated them. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, magpies form a magpie bridge so they can meet.”

Xiaoming asked, “Grandma, are they in the sky right now?”

Lili said, “This story is really touching. I feel a little like crying.”

Grandma smiled and said, “Don’t be sad. Qixi is a day of reunion. We should also celebrate happily.”

The next day, Lili taught Xiaoming how to make qiaoguo. Lili said, “I’ll knead the dough, and you watch. Qiaoguo is made with flour, sugar, and eggs.”

Xiaoming said, “Sister, can I learn to do it?”

Lili answered, “Of course you can. I’ll teach you. Follow me.”

They made a lot of qiaoguo. Mom put the qiaoguo into a pot and fried them. Soon, the fragrant qiaoguo were ready.

Xiaoming wanted to give his sister a surprise. He found some colorful threads and braided a colorful bracelet. The bracelet had red, blue, and yellow, and it was very pretty.

On Qixi evening, Xiaoming gave the bracelet to Lili. He said, “Sister, this is a bracelet I braided myself. It’s for you.”

Lili was very happy. She said, “Thank you, Xiaoming! You braided it really well. Let’s eat qiaoguo together.”

They sat in the yard, eating qiaoguo and watching the stars in the sky. Grandma smiled and said, “Look, the Niulang star and the Zhinü star are especially bright today.”

Lili and Xiaoming both smiled. They had a very happy Qixi Festival.
