The next day, after Chen Jingping got up, she saw that Zhu Zixuan had prepared a bowl of millet porridge, two small steamed buns, a fried egg and a small plate of radish strips and pickles for her at the dinner table. She moved it all to the coffee table, turned on the TV, and watched the news about Tiananmen Square on various channels. She stared at the screen without blinking, trying to see Zhu Zixuan's figure. However, she watched the news report on TV for more than two hours, and found no clues about Zhu Zixuan's on-site interview, so she simply turned off the TV and stopped watching.

Chen Jingping walked to the bookshelf, found an original English version of "New York Photography Tutorial", took out a camera, and began to watch the tutorial while playing with the camera, which was easy to pass the time.

These days, Zhu Zixuan has to arrive at Tiananmen Square before the flag-raising ceremony, so he has to get up at 5 o'clock every morning. He didn't have time to see the sleeping Chen Jingping, so he could only prepare breakfast for her, and left home in a hurry, and when he came home after work at night, it was around 2 o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't bear to wake her up when he looked at Chen Jingping, who was curled up like a kitten.

Zhu Zixuan left a message to Chen Jingping every day, saying that he had to work overtime these nights, go out early and return late, and could not accompany her, so she asked her to take a taxi to Tiananmen Square to take a walk and have a look. But Chen Jingping is too lazy to go out by herself, she has been honestly staying at home for the past two days, sometimes reading books, sometimes watching TV, but it is also comfortable! At noon and evening, Zhu Zixuan ordered takeout for her on time and delivered it to her home.

On the evening of the third day of the National Day, Chen Jingping received a call from Zhu Zixuan: "Pingping, I have time tonight." We went to dinner together in the evening. Where do you want to eat? After eating, let's go to see the night view of Tiananmen Square. I'll be home soon, you pack up and get ready to go downstairs, I'll be waiting for you downstairs! ”

"I want to eat roast duck. You're not working overtime tonight? Great, I'll change my clothes now and I'll be able to go downstairs soon! ”

"Yes, I won't work overtime tonight, and I won't have to work overtime in the next few days, and I can accompany you out shopping every night! You don't have to be in a hurry, remember to bring your phone when you come out! ”

"yes, great, no overtime!" Chen Jingping screamed happily and began to wash her face and makeup. Because she was going to Tiananmen Square in Beijing at night, she wore thicker and brighter makeup than usual!

Beijing on the National Day, under the illumination of the Chinese lanterns, is even more brilliant! Zhu Zixuan took Chen Jingping on foot all the way to Quanjude at the Peace Gate, took the number and queued, and finally sat down at the table after waiting for half an hour. The aroma of roast duck in the store came to her nostrils, and Chen Jingping swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva very unproductively.

Zhu Zixuan ordered a duck, a plate of duck liver, a plate of fried oyster mushrooms with duck breast, a plate of pea yellow, and two bottles of orange juice and two sets of lotus leaf cakes. After the golden roast duck is served, the duck chef comes over and slices the whole duck into ruddy thin slices of duck skin and duck meat, and neatly arranges them on a plate. Zhu Zixuan asked the duck master to take the remaining duck rack and process it into a salt-and-pepper duck rack.

Chen Jingping looked at this duck process full of a strong sense of ritual, and she already felt that it was a kind of enjoyment. When you put the crispy duck skin in your mouth, it really melts in your mouth and is delicious! The sliced duck meat is dipped in sweet noodle sauce, rolled with lotus leaf cakes, and served with radish strips, which is even more unique!

After a meal, Chen Jingping almost died of eating. After the meal, the two of them each carried a camera and came to Tiananmen Square. This year marks the 69th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and although there was no large-scale military parade during the National Day, Tiananmen Square was still full of tourists. Entering the square, I saw the portrait of Sun Yat-sen on the upper floor of Tiananmen Square echoing the portrait of Sun Yat-sen placed on the north side of the Monument to the People's Heroes. On both sides of the portrait of Sun Yat-sen, red flowers surrounded by auspicious clouds set off ten golden characters of "Striving for a New Era and Writing a New Chapter". In the center of the square facing Tiananmen Square stands a huge flower basket that "blesses the motherland". The main color of the basket is festive yellow on a red background, two lines of text are written on the north and south sides of the basket, and the lower line of text on both sides is "1949-2018". The text on the south side of the basket is "Bless the motherland", and the text on the north side is "Celebrate the National Day", which is shining! The flower basket is filled with anthuriums, plum blossoms, carnations, sunflowers, moonflowers, magnolias, orchids, as well as poinsettias, chrysanthemums, etc., colorful and colorful!

Chen Jingping strolled along Chang'an Avenue and used her mobile phone and camera to take pictures of the beautiful streets of Beijing under the Chinese lanterns, as well as the pictures of the times representing the prosperity and prosperity of the motherland and the happiness and well-being of the people, including the "Spring Chapter", "Confident China", "Open China", "Win-win China" and "Brilliant China" large flower beds on East Chang'an Street that reflect the new era, new image and new deeds and the image of a great country, as well as the "Smart Life", "Happy Life" and "Green Life" on West Chang'an Street that seek happiness for the people and build a bright future for a shared life. "Healthy Life" and "Better Tomorrow" big flower beds. Zhu Zixuan, who was beside him, used another camera to randomly record Chen Jingping's happy figure.

Chen Jingping had Zhu Zixuan's company and commentary, and she had a lot of fun. It wasn't until her feet hurt that the two of them walked home slowly.

The first thing Chen Jingping did when she got home, so tired that she could barely walk, did not lie down, but first imported all the photos and videos she had just taken from her phone and camera into her laptop and automatically showed them one by one in "slide show" mode. She leaned on the sofa beautifully, admiring the beautiful scenery of Tiananmen Square under the National Day in photos and videos. Zhu Zixuan took out two apples from the refrigerator, and after peeling them, he also came over to watch them together.

"Your photography skills are on the rise! Look at the big flower basket, the photo is very professional, the composition is complete and clean, the shooting angle is tricky, and the light and color matching are very ingenious! ”

"yes, I think I'm good at photography, too. I've read your New York Photography Tutorial in the past few days, and I've learned a lot of photography techniques. ”

"What do I say? In the past, you would only take x-pictures of the photos, and the photos were all silly and sweet, and there was no artistry at all, but the quality of the photos tonight is really much better. Reward an apple, come, take a bite! ”

Chen Jingping turned her head, took a bite of the apple that Zhu Zixuan brought to her mouth, smiled sheepishly, and turned back to continue browsing the photos.

Photos of Chen Jingping at school began to pop up on the screen, in which Chen Jingping, Song Yao and Su Yuhan stood in the middle of the lotus leaves, and the group photo of them holding a big fish covered in dirt attracted Zhu Zixuan's attention. He pressed the "ESC" button, exited browsing mode, and asked, "This photo is very interesting, why haven't I seen it before?" How did you do it? Did you really get into the lotus pond? ”

"Isn't that right? That day, we took a walk and walked to the lotus pond, and saw that the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully, and we took a lot of photos of the lotus flowers. Ah Yu rose at that time, and he had to go to the middle of the lotus pond to take pictures. I didn't dare, fearing that one would accidentally fall into the river and drown. Ah Yu said that the lotus pond is not big, and it is a lotus pond dug from dry land, and it will definitely not be deep. Ignoring our objections, she took off her sandals and walked to the middle of the lotus pond step by step, where the little frogs were so frightened that they jumped off the lotus leaves. I stood on the shore, nervous and eager to try. It turned out that the water in the lotus pond was really not deep, and in the deepest place in the middle, the water only reached Ah Yu's thighs, and it didn't touch her denim shorts. Yaoyao and I watched it having fun, and we also took off our sandals and went into the water. Suddenly, Yaoyao yelled, saying that she saw a big grass carp swimming past her legs. A few of us went into the water and walked like this, the water in the lotus pond had long been muddy, I didn't see anything, but Yaoyao's family is from Hubei, and I saw more fish in the water since I was a child, and she said that if there are fish, then there must be fish, and it will never be wrong. The three of us immediately squatted down and reached out to find it in the water between the lotus leaves..."
