Chapter 340 Watch the flag raising once
Li Sihai and his wife also made a lot of preparations to entertain Zhuang Haiyang and others who came to Beijing. Perhaps Li Sihai didn't expect that just a trip would allow him to make friends with Zhuang Haiyang, and to become acquainted with Wang Yanming's family.
Even though the couple did not go to Nanshan Island again today, Li Sihai also knew that as long as he and his wife wanted to go, they believed that they could go at any time. Compared with other tourists, they are now visiting Nanshan Island as friends rather than tourists.
After breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang and his party finally checked into the booked hotel. After a simple 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 come with her parents in her early years.
Even so, Lin Wan's feeling was naturally different when she accompanied her best friend and boyfriend to visit the Great Wall. After climbing the Great Wall and returning to the hotel, Zhuang Haiyang also proposed to move freely. In China, there was naturally no need to worry about anything.
When he went to the most prosperous pedestrian street in Beijing, Zhuang Haiyang, who was holding his girlfriend, began to search for the famous snack street here with his girlfriend. In contrast, Lin Wan and Qian Yunpeng went to see a movie and bought some clothes by the way.
Wang Yanming's family was still taken to shopping and eat by Li Sihai and his wife. To be honest, the relationship between Wang Yanming's family and Li Sihai and his wife seemed to be closer than Zhuang Haiyang.
When leaving the pedestrian street, Li Zixian sighed: "The snacks here are still a bit unsatisfactory!"
"I didn't eat any really delicious snacks, right?"
"Well! I always feel that it's still a little bit short of meaning, why?"
Regarding his girlfriend's inquiry, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Maybe the commercial atmosphere is too strong. Many snacks are too ordinary to take into account the tastes of more people! For real snacks, you still have to go to a street stall."
"That's true! The same snacks are really different when eating in small shops and street stalls!"
Even if she felt a little regretful, Li Zixian was having fun. If she hadn't considered that she would have to watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow, she would have been in the pedestrian street for a while. Others also returned to the hotel where she was staying one after another.
Before going to bed, Wang Yanming also said at the right time: "Ocean, it's 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! If it really doesn't work, I will hold it in my arms and let her sleep. This season, the temperature is OK!"
The flag-raising ceremony or something, for two people who have had a military life, naturally, they will not feel strange about it. But everyone knows that this kind of ritual is professional and the highest level, so naturally they still have to come to Beijing to see it.
In fact, many tourists who come to Beijing to travel now arrange a flag-raising ceremony during their itinerary. For many people, this is also an opportunity to accept the baptism of patriotism and truly feel the national pride and honor.
After a little trouble, in order to keep your girlfriend strong enough, Zhuang Haiyang said considerately: "Okay, let you go tonight and have a break early! Otherwise, you will definitely not get up tomorrow."
"Hmph! I won't!"
"Really?"
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang pretending to threaten, Li Zixian also quickly surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong!"
Facing her girlfriend who raised her hand to beg for mercy, Zhuang Haiyang did not torment her anymore and held her in her arms. Not long after, she heard her girlfriend's breathing calmly. As for Zhuang Haiyang, she did not continue to practice and soon fell asleep.
When the alarm clock was set in advance, Zhuang Haiyang opened his eyes and looked at the still dark sky outside the window. He also knew that many people were still asleep at this point. But when watching the flag-raising ceremony, you must hurry before dawn.
If you go late, you will not be able to get the best view at all. You can naturally rely on it even further!
He gently patted his girlfriend's shoulders, and Zhuang Haiyang also whispered: "My concubine, wake up, it's time to get up!"
Princess Li, who was awakened by the photograph, still said a little confused: "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 continue to sleep, I will get up!"
A small threatened, and the Li Zixian, who had finally awakened consciousness, hurriedly said: "Ah, right!"
Compared to Zhuang Haiyang's simple washing and wearing relatively warm clothes, he began to call Wang Yanming and others. Hearing that Wang Yanming had arrived, the little girl was still making trouble, and seemed to hate the feeling of being disturbed by others in her sleep.
Other comrades, including Qian Yunpeng and his wife, also got up one after another. Correspondingly, the minibus driver who made an appointment in advance naturally did not dare to be late. At the scheduled time, the group arrived near the square.
"Master Liu, thank you for your hard work. I guess you will have to work harder later."
"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 saying hello to the driver, Zhuang Haiyang and his party got off the bus next to the square. At this moment, a cordon had been set up in the square. Near the cordon, there were many tourists and citizens who had arrived earlier than them.
Even when Princess Li got off the car, she said in surprise: "There are so many people so early?"
"There's no way! If you want to watch the flag-raising ceremony up close, you will naturally have to be earlier than others. When you get up late, you probably can only stand outside and watch. In that case, it will definitely feel different from standing outside the cordon."
He led everyone into the square with his girlfriend. After some screening, everyone quickly chose the viewing location. Knowing that they had to wait for a long time, Zhuang Haiyang also reached out and brought the sleepy little girl over.
He let him lie on his shoulder and said, "Mengmeng, uncle hugs you to sleep, okay?"
"Um!"
The little girl who did not refuse was taken over by Zhuang Haiyang and quickly lay on her shoulders and squinted. Seeing this scene, Lin Xin also smiled bitterly and said, "This girl asked her to go to bed early last night, but she just had to make trouble, there was nothing she could do!"
"I guess I'm used to it on the island! It's okay, let her lie on her for a while, and when the flag-raising ceremony begins, she will wake up!"
During the chat, the group of people standing still, gradually saw tourists and citizens coming from all over the place. The square, which seemed to be small, was soon filled with the arrival of people one after another.
Even though the temperature is a little low, it still has not dispelled the enthusiasm of these people. In contrast, the soldiers responsible for duty in the square stood in the warning circle without moving. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang and others were also extremely admired.
He sighed: "These people, regardless of their height or image, are all model soldiers!"
"In terms of military posture, I guess the entire army can't find any troops that can compete with them. It will take at least two hours for their stop. If it were an ordinary soldier, I guess he wouldn't be able to hold on."
"Yes! We came here for nearly half an hour, and they almost didn't move much. The guards are indeed extraordinary!"
While discussing these, everyone was also waiting in the square for the appearance of the national flag guard. As the sky gradually brightened, tourists soon said, "It's coming soon! It's coming soon! The cordon is starting!"
As everyone began to turn their eyes to the gatehouse, the police on duty also began to prepare before raising the flag. Citizens and tourists who have watched the flag-raising ceremony also knew that this was a sign that the guard was about to come out.
Perhaps because of feeling the sound of a sudden disappearing sound in the square, the little girl who was still squinting rubbed her eyes and said cutely: "Uncle, are we there? Why are there so many people?"
"Mengmeng, are you awake? Are you still sleepy?"
"Sleepy! Still want to sleep! Uncle, where is this?"
"This is the National Flag Square. There are many PLA uncles coming out from there to raise the flag. Do you want to see it?"
"Think! Are those uncles the same as dad?"
"Yeah, 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 were still on, the sky was actually already bright. In a short while, these neon lights were believed to be extinguished one after another.
At this time, the crowd began to gather towards the national flag station. Seeing this scene, Wang Yanming also said at the right time: "Mengmeng, Dad, hug me!"
"No! I want my uncle to hug you!"
The little girl who did not give her father any face, hugged Zhuang Haiyang's neck tightly with her little hands, and was reluctant to leave. Wang Yanming was helpless about this result and could only coax him, "Dad, can you please ride a horse?"
It seemed that he knew what his daughter liked, but Wang Yanming could only use this method of coaxing and finally coaxed his daughter from Zhuang Haiyang. Seeing this scene, Qian Yunpeng also smiled and said, "Squad leader, you have to work hard in the future!"
"Yes! You must also 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 to be so popular with children!"
Zhuang Haiyang seemed to know why these children were willing to rely on him. Perhaps the reason was that as his cultivation level improved, his body also changed. Or in other words, he had an invisible energy field.
Even if Concubine Li sometimes says that with him by his side, she will sleep very peacefully at night. If the two stay together for a long time and rest alone at night, Concubine Li will feel uncomfortable and it will take several days to get used to it!
During the chat, the awake little girl sat on my 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.
Seeing that his girlfriend seemed to be invisible, Zhuang Haiyang said directly: "I will hold you and see even further."
"Well! Thank you for your hard work!"
Li Zixian, who knew how strong her boyfriend was, naturally would not refuse. As her slender waist was hugged, Li Zixian was quickly picked up. As her vision immediately rose, she could naturally see things further away.
As others said, the shock and feeling given to people from the Internet and on-site is completely different. For Zhuang Haiyang and his comrades around him, their feelings are undoubtedly deeper.
