THE FIRST TIME OF MY EARNING MONEY

Qi Naishen in middle school in 1997

Dragon Boat festival is one of the most important days in China. People usually hang a little wormwood over their house doors when the Festival comes. My family also does it like that. But I don’t know why the wormwood isn’t for sale in the market on Dragon Boat festival of this year. So we several kids are gonna pick up wormwoods ourselves.
It was a fine day when we climbed to the hill nearby. As soon as we arrived at half past eight, we started looking for the wormwood. ”Look!” one person shouted a moment later, ”What’s that over there? Is that wormwood? Oh yes, it is!” Then we together ran to the place. Wow! there were so many wormwoods there that we couldn’t help us from picking them up. It was near lunchtime When we were gonna home when I said Why we couldn’t reap some more to sell them and we could be rich. “Ha Ha!” We laughed, harvesting more. After that we went to the market and sold them out. But we were very sorry to find that we only got four Yuan.
We were all very tired while getting back home. But I was very happy because this was the first time of my earning money!
