Feng Zhi often came to my office in the past two days, and he sat for half a day. Sometimes he drank tea with the Yixing purple clay pot I gave him, and sometimes he sat on a chair and looked at me without blinking. When I was upset, I yelled at him, "When you've had enough tea, you can go home and rest, don't keep looking at me, okay?" I still have to work!

Feng Zhi didn't blush, he muttered, I didn't look at you, I didn't look at you!

So who are you looking at?

I looked at the wall. Feng Zhi said, still looking at me. I knew something was wrong with his eyes. Someone his age is bound to have something wrong with his eyes.

I put down my plan for the opening celebration and stood up from my boss's chair. I said, "Look at the wall yourself, for there may be gold on the wall."

Feng Zhi was not angry, I stood up, and he stood up, but he was not as sharp as me, and he still had to hold a thing called a crutch. I walked into the wide yard of my company, and I stood in the middle of it. I'm waiting for Feng Zhi. Then ask the driver to take him home. But Feng Zhi moved behind me, but he couldn't leave. He said, Feng Zhou, the company is about to open, and you have shortcomings here.

What's missing? You see that there is a factory building on that side, there is a dormitory on the other side, and the place where we came out just now is an office building, a parking lot, a guardhouse, and a workers' activity center. What do you say is missing?

Feng Zhi said, not only are you lacking here, but also your wall!

So what do you say is missing?

Feng Zhi didn't say. Feng Zhi said something else according to his own train of thought. Feng Zhi said, I have seen Mao **, I am the only person in our county who has seen Chairman Mao.

I was taken aback, and quickly asked the secretary to take a chair from the room, I was afraid that Feng Zhi would suddenly get sick, so I asked him to sit down and say, but he was so stubborn that he stood on crutches, I haven't told you all these years, no one has ever said it, I am the flag bearer of the first national flag of New China.

Ha ha! I circled around Feng Zhi twice and shook my head, I knew that you were 17 years old and followed Yang Dezhi as a soldier, but I never knew that you had also been a flag guard!

Yes, I joined the army in 1946. In the Propaganda Section of the Second Column of the Jichajin Field Army. In December 1948, the Party Central Committee began to set up the Beijing-Tianjin Picket Corps, and I was transferred to the First Brigade of the Corps. On September 30, 1949, Xiao Hua, director of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, asked a large group for four soldiers. I was picked and I became the flag bearer.

When Feng Zhi said these words, his eyes lit up a little, and he spoke very smoothly. After I picked it, I met Chairman Mao. It was October 1, and the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held in Tiananmen Square. When Commander-in-Chief Zhu De announced the firing of the salute, the playing of the national anthem, and the raising of the national flag, Chairman Mao personally pressed the button on the city tower, and the bright five-star red flag slowly rose into the sky. At that time, I was working as a flag guard under the electric flagpole in the square. The three who were the flag bearers with me were none of my luck. Because I'm a real flag bearer, they're all flag bearers.

I asked, how can you say that?

Feng Zhi said, don't interrupt me. When Chairman Mao pressed the button, the national flag was about to rise, the red silk flag was too big, there was a southeast wind that day, the red flag was wrapped and dragged on the base of the flagpole for a while, I quickly ran over to stretch the flag, and then shook it upward, and the national flag was fluttering in the wind......

Feng Zhi and I have known each other for so many years, I only know that he is an old farmer, I only know that he regards the land as his life, I only know that he picks, even I built a factory and opened a company on his one-third of an acre, he didn't let me, I ran down the land bureau, he didn't let him, or I asked the village director Feng Yuan to make peace and take money to let him travel to Beijing. Secretly covered it while he wasn't at home. When he came back, my factory was already poked. Without saying a word, he bent over and walked around my factory a few times, planting a poplar tree in a sunny place. He said, Feng Zhou, you bully people. You build a house, I plant trees, and when you die, I'll bury you here and see what happens to you! I gave Feng Yuan another part of the money, and asked him to coax Feng Zhi every day, look at him, don't come to my company to make trouble.

But he has been coming to my office a lot these two days. I didn't make a fuss here, but I made up a story. I really didn't expect that Feng Zhidu would still make up stories at the age of 80, and he would make up them so smoothly, like flowing water. I disdainfully said, you are very good, but you have been so beautiful, why didn't you mix up an official position?

Feng Zhi choked. After a long time, he said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I changed jobs and came back, and the city arranged a job for me, and later in response to the party's call, I returned to my hometown to work as a farmer. I didn't expect that I would be 60 years old when I returned home.

There were tears in Feng Zhi's old eyes, in fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with 60 years of farming. When I first became a village cadre, I led the whole village to work on socialism, mutual aid groups, cooperatives, ******, and ***** until I carried out reform and opening up. I have never left the land, and I have never let my villagers leave the land. Over the years, every time there is a major festival, I have led the villagers to hold a flag-raising ceremony. Later, when the villagers came less, there were fewer, and I also raised the flag. Later, no one came, so I was alone, and I was the only one who raised the flag. Later, Feng Yuan's kid took over my class, and he was restless. He won't do the flag-raising ceremony. He's busy. He first turned the crop field into an orchard, and later turned the orchard into an industrial development zone. Now, you have built a factory and a factory on the land I once cultivated. This turned out to be a mess of mourning, but I leveled and served for more than ten years before it became watered......

Feng Zhi gasped and poked the ground with his crutch, I knew that none of this could be changed. I also know it's a good thing to change like this. Feng Zhou, but I still think that you have some shortcomings here, and what are the shortcomings of the wall in your office!

I walked up to Feng Zhi and helped him sit in a chair and sit in the sun. I said, don't sell it, you say there are still shortcomings, right?

National flag! You're going to hang a flag on the wall of your office, you're going to put up a flagpole in the center of your company's yard, and you're going to have a flag-raising ceremony on the day of opening. I...... I still want to be a flag bearer!

I hugged Feng Zhi at once, and I gently patted him on the shoulder, like a baby.

My company has a grand opening. My father Feng Yuan and I walked to the high flagpole with Feng Zhi in our arms, and I shouted to the guests around us: The flag-raising ceremony will be held below, and my grandfather Feng Zhi will protect the flag!
