Chapter 340: Look at the flag-raising once
In order to entertain Zhuang Haiyang and others who came to Beijing, Li Sihai and his wife also made a lot of preparations. Maybe Li Sihai didn't expect that just a trip would make him a friend of Zhuang Haiyang, and he also became attached to Wang Yanming's family.
Even if the two couples didn't go to Nanshan Island today, Li Sihai also knew that as long as he and his wife wanted to go, I believe they could go at any time. Compared to other tourists, they now go to Nanshan Island as friends rather than tourists.
After breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage finally checked into the hotel they booked. After a brief lunch break, the group took a rented minibus to the nearest Great Wall. For those who came to Beijing this time, only Lin Wan had accompanied her parents to play in her early years.
Even so, accompanying her best friend and boyfriend to revisit the Great Wall naturally gave Lin Wan a different feeling. After climbing the Great Wall and returning to the hotel, Zhuang Haiyang also proposed free activities. If you are in China, you naturally don't have anything to worry about.
went to the most prosperous pedestrian street in the capital, and Zhuang Haiyang, who was holding his girlfriend, also began to accompany his girlfriend to search for the well-known snack street here. On the other hand, Lin Wan and Qian Yunpeng went to watch a movie and bought some clothes by the way.
And Wang Yanming's family was still taken by Li Sihai and his wife to go shopping, shopping and eating. If you really want to talk about it, the relationship between Wang Yanming's family and Li Sihai and his wife seems to be closer than Zhuang Haiyang.
When leaving the pedestrian street, Concubine Li also sighed: "The snacks here still feel a little unfinished!"
"Didn't get any really delicious snacks, did you?"
"Well, I always feel that it's a little bit of fun, why?"
In response to his girlfriend's inquiry, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said: "Maybe the commercial atmosphere is too strong, and many snacks make people feel too ordinary in order to take into account the tastes of more people! ”
"The same snacks, eating in a small shop is really different from eating a street stall!"
Even if I feel a little regretful, but Concubine Li is very happy. If it weren't for the fact that she would have to watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow, I am afraid that she would have spent more time on the pedestrian street. Others also returned to their hotels one after another.
Before going to bed, Wang Yanming also said in a timely manner: "Ocean, I'll get up tomorrow, remember to ring a bell, I'm afraid I won't wake up then." ”
"Okay! So early, did the little girl get up?"
"It should be fine! No, let her sleep in your arms when the time comes. The temperature is ok this season!"
The flag-raising ceremony or something, for the two people who have had a military life, naturally they will not feel any strangeness. But everyone knows that this kind of ritual theory is professional and of the highest level, so it is natural to come to the capital to see it.
In fact, many tourists who come to Beijing these days will arrange a flag-raising ceremony in their itinerary. For many people, it is also an opportunity to receive the baptism of patriotism and to truly feel the pride and honor of the nation.
After a little tossing, in order to keep his girlfriend strong enough, Zhuang Haiyang was still very considerate and said: "Okay, let you go tonight and rest early! Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow." ”
"Hmph!
"Really?"
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang pretending to threaten, Concubine Li also hurriedly surrendered: "Okay, okay, I know it's wrong!"
Facing his girlfriend who raised his hand to beg for mercy, Zhuang Haiyang didn't toss her anymore and held her in his arms. It didn't take long to hear the sound of his girlfriend's gentle breathing. As for Zhuang Haiyang, he didn't continue to cultivate, and soon fell asleep.
When the alarm clock set in advance rang, Zhuang Haiyang, who opened his eyes, looked at the still dark sky outside the window, and knew that many people were still asleep at this point. You can see the flag-raising ceremony, which must be in time before dawn.
If you go late, you won't be able to grab the best view at all, so you can naturally rely forward if you get up early!
Gently patted his girlfriend's fragrant shoulder, Zhuang Haiyang also said softly: "Princess, wake up, it's time to get up!"
Concubine Li, who was woken up, was still a little confused and said, "Don't make noise, you still have to sleep!"
"If you sleep again, you won't be able to see the flag-raising. If you keep sleeping, I'll be up!"
A small threat, Concubine Li, who was finally conscious, hurriedly said: "Ah, yes!"
Compared with Zhuang Haiyang, he simply washed up, wore relatively warm clothes, and began to call Wang Yanming and others. Hearing that Wang Yanming had arrived, it was just that the little girl was still making trouble, and she seemed to hate the feeling of being disturbed by others.
And the other comrades-in-arms, including Qian Yunpeng and his family, also got up one after another. Correspondingly, the minibus driver who had made a reservation in advance naturally did not dare to be late. According to the scheduled time, the group arrived near the square.
"Master Liu, thank you for your hard work. Wait, I guess it's going to be hard for you. ”
"It's okay! When you're leaving, call me anytime, and I'll drive the car to the nearby parking lot first. ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. ”
After greeting the driver, Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage got off from the side of the square. And at this moment, a cordon has been set up in the square. In the vicinity of the cordon, there were already quite a few tourists and citizens who had arrived earlier than them.
So much so that Concubine Li, who got out of the car, was also surprised and said, "So early, there are so many people?"
"No way! If you want to watch the flag-raising ceremony up close, you naturally have to do it earlier than others. I got up late, so I guess I could only stand outside and watch. In that case, it will definitely feel different from standing outside the cordon. ”
Holding his girlfriend and leading the crowd, he began to enter the square. After some screening, everyone quickly chose a place to watch. Knowing that he would have to wait for a long time, Zhuang Haiyang also reached out in time and hugged the little girl who was still sleepy.
Let him lie on his shoulder and say, "Mengmeng, uncle hugs you to sleep, okay?"
"Hmm!"
The little girl who did not refuse was picked up by Zhuang Haiyang, and she quickly lay on her shoulder and squinted. Seeing this scene, Lin Xin also smiled bitterly: "This girl, let her go to bed early last night, but she just has to toss, there is no way!"
"I guess I'm used to it on the island! It's okay, let her lie down for a while, and when the flag-raising ceremony begins, she will wake up!"
In the process of chatting, the group of people who stood still gradually saw tourists and citizens coming from all over the place. The square, which originally seemed to be small in people, was quickly filled with the flow of people who arrived one after another.
Even though the temperature was a little low, it still didn't dampen the enthusiasm of these people. In contrast, the soldiers who were on duty in the square stood motionless in the cordon. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang and others also admired it very much.
sighed: "These people, regardless of height or image, can be called pacesetters!"
"In terms of military posture, it is estimated that the whole army really can't find a unit that can compete with them. It is estimated that it will take at least two hours for them to stop this station, right? If they were ordinary soldiers, it is estimated that they would not be able to hold it for a long time. ”
"Yes, we came over for nearly half an hour, and they barely moved. The convoy is really extraordinary!"
While discussing this, everyone was also waiting in the square for the appearance of the national flag guard. As the sky gradually brightened, some tourists soon said: "Come out soon! Come out soon! Start setting up a cordon!"
As everyone began to turn their eyes to the direction of the gatehouse, the police on duty also began to make preparations before raising the flag. Citizens and tourists who have seen the flag-raising ceremony also know that this is a sign that the escort is about to come out.
Perhaps it was because she felt the sound in the square that suddenly disappeared, and the little girl who was still squinting rubbed her eyes and said cutely: "Uncle, where are we? Why are there so many people?"
"Mengmeng, are you awake?
"Sleepy, I still want to sleep! Uncle, where is this?"
"This is the National Flag Square, there are a lot of PLA uncles waiting for you, will they come out of there to raise the flag, do you want to see it?"
"Think, those uncles, are they the same as my father?"
"Well, it's the same!"
While chatting with the little girl, Zhuang Haiyang also knew that the flag-raising ceremony was about to begin. Although the neon lights in the square are still on, the sky is actually bright. It will not be long before these neon signs are believed to be extinguished.
At this time, the crowd also began to gather on the side of the national flag stand. Seeing this scene, Wang Yanming also said in a timely manner: "Mengmeng, dad hug!"
"Don't! I want my uncle to hug me!"
The little girl who didn't give her father face at all, her little hands tightly wrapped around Zhuang Haiyang's neck, and she was very reluctant to leave. For such a result, Wang Yanming was also very helpless, so he could only coax and say: "Dad let you ride a horse, okay?"
seemed to know what his daughter liked, Wang Yanming could only use this way of coaxing, and finally coaxed his daughter from Zhuang Haiyang's hands. Seeing this scene, Qian Yunpeng also smiled and said, "Squad leader, you have to work hard in the future!"
"Yes, you also have to remember that if you really have a baby in the future, you must stay away from the ocean. ”
"Squad leader, I can't blame me! Who told me that I was born so liked by children!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who is very embarrassed, seems to know why these children are willing to rely on themselves. The reason may be that with the improvement of his cultivation, some changes have also taken place in his body. Or rather, he has an invisible energy field.
Even Concubine Li sometimes says that with him by her side, she sleeps very well at night. If the two stay together for a long time and rest alone at night, Concubine Li will feel unaccustomed to it, and it will take several days to get used to it!
In the process of chatting, the little girl who was already sober sat on her father's shoulder and began to look at the crowd around her. Until the sound of uniform footsteps came from the gatehouse, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to it.
Seeing that his girlfriend seemed to be a little invisible, Zhuang Haiyang said directly: "I'll hold you, and I can see farther away like that." ”
"Well, that's hard work for you!"
Concubine Li, who knows how strong her boyfriend is, will naturally not refuse. As her slender waist was embraced, Concubine Li was quickly picked up. As her gaze was raised, she could see more farther away.
As others say, watching it on the Internet and watching it in person gives people a completely different shock and feeling. For Zhuang Haiyang and the comrades-in-arms around him, their feelings are undoubtedly deeper.
Because, once upon a time, they were also like these escort people, wearing military uniforms to protect national security and coastal defense!
