Xia Jianguo stood up, his body still trembling slightly.

As a father, he didn't have too close contact with his daughter since she grew up.

But this time, he walked to the table, pulled up the wrist of the girl who was tilting her head and looking out of the courtyard to see the excitement, and dragged the person out of the courtyard.

Xia Li saw someone shouting outside just now, so he wanted to come out to see the excitement.

But she felt that "Lei Kong" was herself, and it was a little weird to see others praising her for her liveliness, so she didn't go out.

Now that he was dragged out by his own father, he saw the scene outside the yard, and he immediately grinned indescribably.

The South Island is not a prosperous city, there is a large area of wasteland, and when building a family home, it is natural that it will not care about the price of land and search the family home, and the road in the yard is very wide, and four cars can be walked side by side.

The wide road between the two rows of houses was full of soldiers with excited faces, hooking shoulders and patting each other's arms on the back.

Whether it is the MOOC Jin, who has always concentrated the burden of machismo, or Zhao Haining, who likes to find Xia Li's stubble every day, or even the self-proclaimed and calm head Bai, they are all excited by the news broadcast on the loudspeaker, happy like a child.

The young military wives hugged each other, and the older ones held each other's arms and kept pulling their arms down, and their expressions could not hide their joy.

Sitting on the ground and crying with their loved ones, they remembered the military families of their deceased relatives and comrades.

The empathetic person couldn't help but follow suit, his eyes were red, and he burst into tears.

The children were beaming with joy on their faces, standing and jumping in place, drawing with paper boats in their hands.

The innocent face was full of yearning, and his mouth kept shouting: "When I grow up, I want to build big planes and big ships like thunder in the sky!" ”

"Then when I grow up, I want to build tanks and artillery! Knock out all those invaders! ”

"Then you will build planes, big ships, tanks, and cannons in the future, and I will fly planes, big ships, tanks, and artillery! Contribute to the motherland and make everyone afraid of us Chinese people!! ”

"Good! Then I'll do logistics, so that you don't lack anything on the battlefield! ”

……

The children's voices are particularly childish, and their words are a little innocent.

Maybe they simply don't understand that scientific research is not so simple, and it is impossible for a person to be both a pilot and a captain.

But that immature voice can make people see the hope of the future in it.

Xia Jianguo grabbed his daughter's wrist with a trembling hand, and his eyes fell on the excited adults and children.

Probably because this scene touched too much on the thoughts in his heart that he had never resorted to, he suddenly whispered to his daughter in a somewhat hoarse voice: "This is the meaning of our protection of Huaxia and hope that Huaxia will be strong."

Since the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition in 1900, there has not been a day in China that has not been in the midst of war, and the people are in dire straits.

When I first went to war, it was two or three years, and I was only thirteen years old.

We finally drove out the Eight-Nation Alliance, and there are little devils again.

At that time, I was young, and it was the thin bodies of countless old soldiers who stood in front of me, bless us with their lives, and it was a young generation that gave us the opportunity to see the establishment of New China, but they fell before the founding of China.

I still remember that one of my old platoon commanders, in order to get us evacuated safely, died with the devil with explosives.

Now, we inherit their legacy and usher in a new China, which has suffered from being oppressed by foreign powers, and we want to make China strong and want our children and grandchildren to no longer suffer from our generation.

Just like those veterans who protect us recruits on the battlefield, we believe that Huaxia will have a future with your young blood.

Then you in the future will bring the idea of a strong Huaxia to your next generation.

This is the inheritance, and it is also the root bone of China.

As long as people from generation to generation hold the same belief, one day China will stand at the top of the world without being bullied by any foreign power.

The words of the chairman standing on the tower of Tiananmen Square and saying: "The Chinese people have stood up from now on!" ”

There will always be people who will step up, and I hope that one day, you will be the same as your ancestors were your umbrella, and you will be the umbrella of these children, just as you are doing today.

I may not be a good father, but I want my children to be respectable.

I am proud of your contribution to the country. ”

Xia Jianguo can be regarded as a person with feudal thoughts.

In his bones, he thinks that boys should stand up to the sky, and girls don't need to shoulder too much responsibility.

This is also why when there is a problem in the family and he wants to decentralize, he asks his son to decentralize with him, but he tries his best to let his daughter stay in the city.

After devolution, he knew that he was about to be criticized, and his daughter was puzzled by him, so he did not forcibly press his daughter to stay and suffer with him, but chose to find a way to send his daughter out to study abroad when his daughter proposed to go abroad.

The above philosophy is the philosophy that he has always taught his son, and he has never had a family on his daughter.

But this time, perhaps because of the birth of "Gluttony", the victory in the first battle was too amazing, making him feel that his daughter was not just a little girl who needed his protection by his side.

Or maybe it's because the atmosphere of crying with joy in front of the thousands of empty alleys in front of them is too exaggerated, and the children's expectations for the future are naïve and ignorant, but full of vitality.

Or perhaps, it was the strength of the motherland that made him feel that the forbearance of generation after generation was not in vain, and the fresh blood of China would always promote China to become rich and strong, so he said this unconsciously.

He was already prepared for his daughter's sneering at him, and by the way, he said something bastard that could turn his anger into brain congestion.

But I didn't expect that this time the girl was exceptionally quiet.

Xia Li stood next to Xia Jianguo, quietly looking at the wide road crowded with people, everyone was beaming, proud of Huaxia's strength and sincerity, happy, and even relieved to tears.

Being in this atmosphere is completely different from what you see on TV through the screen, and it's hard not to be infected by their true feelings.

I think of those who died in the border conflict between China and Mao in the Northeast. and the pair of old men who impressed her deeply, because of the backwardness of the country, and sent away their sons and grandsons one after another.

Xia Li did not refute Xia Jianguo's words this time, but said softly: "I maybe, too, hope that Huaxia will be good."

At least if his interests do not conflict with mine, I want him to be strong. ”
