Actually, these parents' words are not just well-intentioned consolation, but more of the truth.
In today's fast-paced life, the older generation may still retain the tradition of making zongzi by hand, while many young people prefer to just buy a few during the Dragon Boat Festival for tradition's sake, finding the process too cumbersome.
No need to make it yourself!
Thus, among the parents present, quite a few do not know how to make zongzi.
Though they find it quite troublesome to make zongzi at home, here, the kindergarten has thoughtfully prepared all the materials, requiring only the zongzi wrapping step. Therefore, even if they don't know how, they are willing to give it a try.
After all, in their view, making zongzi is actually quite simple.
Just wrapping glutinous rice and filling in bamboo leaves, as long as it doesn't leak, it's fine.
But now, after watching the two teachers make zongzi, they realized their thoughts were a bit too simplistic…
