October 1st.
National Day.
Nine in the morning.
The sky on this day is impeccably blue and intoxicatingly beautiful.
Chen Xi moved a table from the main hall to the courtyard, then went to the west wing and moved the TV to the window, facing the inner courtyard.
Because I didn’t buy groceries, I bought breakfast at a food stall outside.
Porridge, steamed buns, two or three dishes of side dishes, a very ordinary breakfast.
The little one didn't eat steamed buns, so Chen Xi had to buy her two red bean-paste buns.
After Chen Xi turned on the TV, the little girl sat on the small bench, watching TV and busy with bean paste buns.
Maybe it’s because the red bean paste buns taste average.
Moreover, she was spoiled by Chen Xi's current cooking skills, so she started to talk after eating a few times.
After licking the bean paste out of the bean paste bun, the little girl decisively threw the remaining dough to the big cat.
The big cat stuck its head out and bit into the red bean-paste bun thrown by the little one.
Because there is still some bean paste on it, it eats the part with bean paste first.
But after all, this was the leftovers from the little girl, so the big cat just licked the red bean paste twice and it was gone, so he had to chew the white flour.
But after chewing two mouthfuls of white flour, he spit it out immediately like the little girl.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only shake his head and sigh.
The child's appetite has been spoiled by his cunning...
Maybe she was tired of eating red bean paste, so the little one licked her lips. Today, she took the initiative to drink the porridge without waiting for Chen Xi to serve her.
This second-level courtyard is very large, with an area of at least 400 square meters.
There are 17 houses alone, not to mention two courtyards: the front yard and the inner yard.
Because of taking Peiyuan Dan, the little girl’s eyesight is very good.
Even sitting in the middle of the courtyard, she could see the TV screen in the west wing window.
But maybe because they were too far away, the volume of the TV was not loud, so after eating, she moved a small stool to sit on the steps outside the west wing, raised her little head, and looked at the TV above, almost The little face was attached.
The military parade has not officially started yet, and it is now time for guests from various countries to enter.
When the little girl went out to buy breakfast with Chen Xi in the morning, he heard others talking about today's military parade.
Although she didn’t understand what a military parade was, her interest was still aroused, so when she saw it live on TV, she was a little excited.
While Chen Xi was cleaning up, he looked at her silly little appearance and couldn't help but laugh too.
After clearing away the garbage on the table, Chen Xi moved a recliner to sit under the steps and then called the little girl over.
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately threw himself into Chen Xi's arms.
She giggled and nuzzled into Chen Xi's arms several times, then turned over and lay in his arms to watch TV.
The National Day military parade does not happen every year. The last time was in 2009.
After many years, the National Day military parade was finally held again, so the people in Beijing were extremely excited.
In the old alleys and on the streets, they gathered in small groups. One of them was holding a mobile phone to watch the live broadcast, and there were several people behind who were chatting together.
Some impatient ones have already climbed to the roof, preparing to take a look at the fighter jets that will fly over their heads soon.
Because of the importance of the military parade, martial law had been implemented around Tiananmen as early as a day ago.
All schools and units near Chang'an Street must suspend work and classes. All office buildings on Chang'an Street are closed. The curtains on the side of the hotel facing Chang'an Street must be closed. They must not be opened without permission during the ceremony.
In addition, some residents living near Tiananmen were also evicted, and the government paid to let them live in hotels, while the army inspected the safety of each building one by one to ensure that nothing went wrong during the military parade.
Tickets will be released at the military parade site, but not everyone can get them.
Audiences must go through strict political screening before they can obtain tickets. Most people have no way to get close to the site, let alone go to Tiananmen to watch it up close.
This also made some people in Beijing very unhappy.
The military parade is right in front of their house. Although they can't see the soldiers doing goose-stepping, they can always see the planes in the sky...
So with this mentality, many people went out.
With Tiananmen as the center, martial law was implemented within a five-kilometer radius.
On this day, the city of Shangjing was quiet, the streets were very deserted, and pedestrians were allowed to walk freely on the empty streets.
Although there is only one controlled street, almost no pedestrians or vehicles can be seen on the second ring road.
It can be said that the streets are empty.
What about people?
They are all along Chang'an Avenue, a few kilometers away from Tiananmen.
Even if they could only glance at the passing military parade vehicles from a distance across the street, they already felt very satisfied.
After all, TV broadcasting and seeing it with your own eyes are always two completely different experiences.
9:59 am.
All rise.
Fire a salute.
Play the national anthem.
Raise the national flag.
70 salute guns roared.
Shocked the whole city.
The little girl was shocked and immediately raised his head and looked at the sky.
The courtyard is like a well.
Sitting in the well, she looked up and saw only a square patch of blue sky and white clouds.
Subsequently, in every corner of China, covering a land of 9.6 million square kilometers, the prelude of the March of the Volunteers sounded at the same time.
"Daddy! It's time to sing! We have to stand up!"
I guess it was taught by the kindergarten teacher, so as soon as the national anthem played, the little girl jumped out of Chen Xi's arms.
She jumped while trying hard to pull Chen Xi up.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only pinch her little face and stood up from the rocking chair very cooperatively.
The father and daughter faced the TV and stood side by side.
While watching TV, the little girl imitated the movements on TV and raised his little hands to his forehead with great effort.
Her hands were crooked and could not be straightened, but her little face was very tight, with a serious look on her face.
"Rise, you who don't want to be slaves..."
She sang a sweet line, and after finishing singing, she realized that Chen Xi next to her did not react.
So she immediately patted Chen Xi's thigh, pursed her lips, and said with an unhappy look: "Papa! You have to sing too! The teacher said that the national anthem must be sung when the flag is raised!"
As soon as Chen Xi saw her expression, he knew she was going to go crazy. He quickly stood up at attention, raised his right hand high to his forehead, and said quickly: "Dad is wrong, come on, let's sing together..."
After his delay, more than half of the national anthem had already been sung, so Chen Xi had to sing immediately: "Get up, get up, get up..."
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately jumped up with joy, clapped his hands, and sang: "We are united as one, braving the enemy's fire, move forward, move forward, move forward!"
After singing, she threw herself on Chen Xi's lap, hugged Chen Xi's legs, and giggled.
Chen Xi hugged her and sat back in the chair, listening to the commentary on the TV.
For a moment, there was a somewhat emotional look on his face.
