September 30, night.

It rained in the capital, lingering like silk, and it didn't stop from nightfall. The autumn coolness seems to be brought out by the rain, the car lights on the street flicker, and the humid air comes in a little clammy and cold.

Xiao Xu put on a coat and touched his belly for more than four months, feeling hungry again.

She went to the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon, she was in good shape and everything was normal. At the end, I went to the countryside to play in Zhuangzi, and when I saw the rain, I was noisy to go to Xiangshan, which would just come back from Xiangshan.

"Hungry?"

"Hmm. ”

"Pad first. ”

Xu Fei got out of the car and ran to the back seat, brought back a box, saw the green light turn on, and slowly followed the traffic to start.

Xiao Xu opened it, and inside was a southern dim sum, pine nut and jujube mud and sesame cake.

It is best to heat it up before eating, and the jujube paste, lard, and pine nuts with the filling will be very delicious. In particular, the lard will not melt, and the skin will seep out when bitten through.

It can't be hot now, and she eats it deliciously, a few bites of it, and the calories can go to heaven.

"You can eat, don't nag when you're fat. ”

"Hmm......"

Xiao Xu struggled for a moment, put the second one back in the box, and looked out the window.

There are so many cars today that several lanes are fully occupied. The taillights were connected together, and they seemed to turn into red silk threads in the rain, and they were hazy.

"Why are there so many cars?"

"Chang'an Avenue is under martial law, and it is all detoured. ”

"Martial law at this point?"

"It's a big military parade, a joke. ”

"I wonder if it will be sunny tomorrow?"

"For such a big thing as ours, God has always been beautiful. ”

Xu Fei followed the traffic for a while, and when he reached the intersection, he turned faster and arrived home in a while. The two went upstairs, Zhang Li was watching TV alone, there was a bowl on the coffee table, and there was some noodle soup base.

"Yo, look at the poor thing. ”

Xiao Xu pounced over and raised his face: "We ate the black fish, caught in the wild, but it's delicious, let you smell it." ”

Yesterday I went to the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there was a braised carp that was also delicious, as well as crystal meat, abalone four treasures, red grilled autumn duck, braised lion head ......."

Yesterday, a reception was held in the Great Hall for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese.

"Why have you two been weird lately, you weren't like this before. ”

"She's weird, so I had to accompany her. ”

Zhang Li has been a little jealous recently, Xiao Xu knows that she is jealous, Zhang Li knows that she knows that she is jealous, Xiao Xu knows that she knows that she knows that she is jealous, so she wants to make her more jealous.

Xu Fei had no choice but to sit in the middle and asked, "Are there any activities over there?"

"I went to visit everywhere today, I'm an outsider, just visit. ”

"What time do you leave tomorrow?"

"Pretty much like you. ”

"Oh yes, the clothes arrived just here today. ”

Teacher Xu turned out two boxes and ordered clothes in Elaine. One is loose and not fat, with small flowers embroidered on a light-colored background, and the style is plain and elegant.

A generous and simple, but with a cloud shoulder, neutralizing a little graceful style.

The two of them put it on and tried it, Xiao Xu turned around and said with satisfaction: "This one is good, no matter how big the belly is, it is not ugly." ”

"Yes, you can mass produce it after you wear it. ”

"We're not models. ”

"You were the model for me back then. ”

The two remembered that when Elaine opened her first store in Xidan, her photo was still displayed in the window.

That night, we slept together after a long absence.

Nothing was said all night.

But if you have something in your heart, you won't be able to sleep well.

Xu Fei woke up at two o'clock in the morning, woke up again at four o'clock, and simply got up. The two of them couldn't sleep either, so they brewed three cups of strong coffee, and couldn't help but worry when they saw the dripping outside.

It's going live on TV.

Earlier, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers under parade had already braved the rain to enter the city and lined up at the parade point on East Chang'an Avenue. Under the camera, the night is hazy and the autumn rain lingers, thousands of cars are silent.

The host kept talking: "According to the forecast of the meteorological observatory, the weather will gradually improve after five o'clock, and we have prepared emergency measures." So don't worry, Ken is a good boy......"

Soon after five o'clock, sure enough, the rain was light and gradually stopped. The dark clouds above have cleared up and become clearer.

"Almost, let's go. ”

Teacher Xu and Xiaoxu had a car, and Zhang Li had a car, and they went to Chang'an Avenue separately.

The security has long been tight, with loaded guns and ammunition, and countless plainclothes roaming around. After checking the pass, I abandoned the car and walked to the viewing platform on the east side of the ** city tower.

Find the location, Xu Feifang looks:

With Chang'an Street as the boundary, the north is the city tower, and the viewing platforms on both sides are far apart.

To the south is a military band in formation, surrounded by a flagpole, and behind it is a group of students, holding flowers and posing with the two big characters "National Day".

A passage was set aside among the students, spread out on the red carpet, leading to the Monument to the People's Heroes, under which stood a large photo of Sun Yat-sen.

There are also a number of cameras, which are placed at various points.

Xu Fei took the binoculars and looked at the city tower again, the big leaders had not yet appeared, but there was already a row of people standing.

In the past 50 years, mainland entrepreneurs have all been the first batch of wealthy people in the reform and opening up, or the heads of large enterprises, such as Liu Yonghao and Cao Heping.

The information is underdeveloped, and it is far less concerned than the Rebus and the old horse and pony in later generations.

Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese are more like stars, with Fok Yingdong, Li Cucumber, and Run Run Shaw all here.

Times Media's wealth on the surface is not as good as that of other entrepreneurs, but it has a great public influence, involving things like yishi. Teacher Xu is also in the emperor's heart, and it is very easy to get two places.

And they stood on the viewing platform, and the young ones were jealous.

"Tired or not?"

"I'm not tired, I want to drink water. ”

"Drink less, it's a hassle to go to the toilet. ”

Xu Fei handed things over like a robot cat, Xiao Xu took two sips of mineral water, ate a piece of chocolate, and his state was much better. She touched her stomach and suddenly said, "Hey, do you think this counts as prenatal education?"

"What prenatal education?"

"Look at the parade. ”

“......”

He scratched his head, people listened to songs and read books, and our children watched the military parade???

After waiting calmly and anxiously, it was finally 9 o'clock.

The sky is sunny after the rain in the capital, the blue sky is like washing, the square is surrounded by flowers, colorful flags are lined up, and 500,000 soldiers and the masses are ready.

The whole city seemed to freeze and lose all its normal functioning, except for the sound of the clock turning and the astonishing procession of the parade point.

As time passed, photojournalists were on the lookout. There was movement on Chang'an Avenue, the conductor of the military band waved his hands, and a familiar "Welcome March" sounded.

There must have been a commentary on TV, but there wasn't one, but everyone knew it was on.

He looked at the city tower again, the perspective was limited, and he felt that there was a commotion over there, and it should be 386. Hmph, not only does he know 386, he also knows that 486 is on it!

Then announce the start of the celebration.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Amid a 50-gun salute, the 200-man flag guard marched from the monument to the flagpole at the northern end.

"Stand solemnly! Raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!"

A military band of more than 1,000 people played the most familiar melody, and a soldier stood under the flagpole, waving his arms and brushing them.

The red flag is raised and fluttering in the wind.

............

This was the 12th large-scale military parade since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The echo of the salute was still stirring over the square, and a red flag car passed through the city tower, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and drove onto Chang'an Avenue to review the parade composed of 42 ground teams (17 on foot and 25 on chariot).

In addition, there are 10 air echelons.

To be honest, non-military fans watch the parade and can't see anything, and they feel that they don't read much from beginning to end:

"Qi!

At about 10:36, the parade phalanx appeared. With the Jinshui Bridge as the center, it extends 90 meters from east to west, and this area is called the salute area.

The first was the honor guard of the three services, and Xu Fei looked at a group of "Ctrl+C" + "Ctrl+V" from a distance.

The three soldiers and brothers were in front, holding the August 1st military flag, and the pine branches were green, the sky was blue, and the navy was white in the back. The moment he stepped into the salute area, the command sounded: "Step ~ go!"

The soldiers who were originally walking in unison turned into positive steps, and the military boots stepped on the ground, becoming more and more powerful. The sound shook Chang'an Street, bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Majestic, passionate, mighty, not even overshadowed by the sound of military music.

"It's so special!"

Teacher Xu let out a laity sigh.

Xiao Xu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "I wanted to rest, but now that I look right, I should feel this temperament, which is like you!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Humph!"

followed by the armed police, military academies, and phalanxes of various troops, step by step, the same neatness, the same footnote.

Some are school children, some are heroic companies of flood fighting and rescue, and some of the numbers have been inherited from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Dadu River, Lanzhou, and Huaihai, and they are still sonorous and powerful, mighty and majestic!

Many people looked at it with binoculars, amazed and waved small red flags in their hands.

"Wow!"

The cheers suddenly rose, but it was the female soldiers who came over. In the past, I always wore long clothes and trousers, but now I have changed to a dark blue tube skirt, high-waisted leather boots, and a red-brimmed hat.

The first one is particularly eye-catching, a pair of twin sisters, Zhang Weiwei and Zhang Lili.

"These two are our fellow countrymen. Xu Fei understood again.

"Saddle City?"

"Hmm. ”

"Wow!"

Xiao Xu liked it even more, and said, "I want to make friends with them!"

The two sisters were seriously popular for a while, and they also went to the 2000 Spring Festival Gala and performed the song and dance "Sisters in the Army". International Chapter and Zhao Feite also appeared on this Spring Festival Gala.

A convoy of 17 foot marchers quickly passed, followed by chariots.

The first to drive over was the new main battle tank of the Type 99, the painting style was stronger, and the tank group drove from afar, with white smoke and roaring, which was really like gunsmoke.

Immediately infantry fighting vehicles, armored transport vehicles, self-propelled guns, anti-tank missiles...... Although Mr. Xu doesn't understand, he is a man! I naturally like this kind of savage and rough big guy.

The sound of tracks, the roar of large trucks, roaring all the way, rumbling past Chang'an Avenue in turn.

In the 19 military parade, the trump card was Dongfeng Express, and this time it was the same, it will always be a strategic missile. Two conventional surface-to-surface missile squadrons, one medium-range surface-to-surface nuclear missile squadron, and one long-range surface-to-surface nuclear missile squadron were unveiled last.

The parade was actually very fast, and in less than 40 minutes, all the squares were finished, and the planes crossed over the sky......

Xiao Xu was a little tired with his stomach, and he was embarrassed to be coquettish when there were many people. Teacher Xu supported her with one hand while watching the next mass demonstration.

To be honest, the current style of painting is still very old-fashioned, carrying big signs and shouting slogans at the sports meeting. Whether it is clothing, equipment, form arrangement, or the spirit of the personnel, it is not as good as the back.

In 19 years, although the floats in some provinces were a little stretched, the courier brother rode a small electric motorcycle, which was really a big highlight.

Joyful, jubilant, open, confident, and really festive.

But now is an inevitable process, without hardships and hardships, forbearance and humiliation, and the dedication and sacrifice of countless ancestors, there will be no days to come.

“......”

Teacher Xu looked at the picture in front of him and thought a lot in his head.

The last one is a team of more than 6,000 balloons clustered around a space shuttle float, meaning to fly into space, to the future.

The music has changed, "Singing the Motherland".

Countless children released balloons, cheered and ran to the city tower, and in an instant a sea of people was jubilant. More than 50,000 colorful balloons rose into the sky, as if they were stretched into a line, turning into a river that went up.

This river does not forget the history, looks forward to the future, keeps flying, keeps flying.

At the end of a grand ceremony, the students holding flowers finally sang to the music:

"Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength. Singing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength......"

(And ...... ）
