October 1st.
National Day.
Nine o 'clock in the morning.
The sky on this day was impeccably blue and intoxicatingly beautiful.
Chen Xi moved a table from the main hall to the courtyard, then went to the west wing to move the TV to the window, facing the inner courtyard.
Because he didn't buy any groceries, he bought breakfast from a snack stall outside.
Porridge, steamed buns, and two or three side dishes. It was a very ordinary breakfast.
The little girl didn't eat steamed buns, so Chen Xi had to buy her two bean paste buns.
After Chen Xi turned on the TV, the little girl sat on a small stool, watching TV while holding a bean paste bun.
Maybe it was because the taste of the bean paste bun was very ordinary.
Moreover, she was spoiled by Chen Xi's cooking skills, so after a few bites, she started to pick at it.
After licking the bean paste bun, the little girl decisively threw the rest of the dough to the Big Cat.
The Big Cat stuck its head out and bit the bean paste bun thrown by the little girl.
Because there was still some bean paste on it, it also ate the part that was stained with bean paste first.
But after all, it was the little girl's leftovers, so the Big Cat only licked the bean paste twice before it was gone, so it had to chew the white flour.
But after chewing two mouthfuls of the white flour, he spat it out just like the little one.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only shake his head and sigh.
The child's appetite had been raised by him …
Maybe it was because she was tired of eating bean paste, the little girl licked her lips. Today, she didn't wait for Chen Xi to serve her and took the initiative to hold the bowl and eat the porridge.
This two-part courtyard house was very large, the area was at least 400 square meters.
There were 17 rooms, not to mention the two courtyards in the front yard and the inner courtyard.
Because of the Spirit Cultivation Pill, the little girl's eyesight was very good.
Even sitting in the middle of the courtyard, she could clearly see the TV screen in the window of the west wing.
However, perhaps because it was too far away, the volume of the TV wasn't very high. After eating her fill, she moved a small stool and sat on the steps outside the west wing. She raised her small head and looked at the TV above her. She almost stuck her small face to it.
The military parade had not officially started yet. It was time for the guests from various countries to enter.
When the little fellow went out to buy breakfast with Chen Xi in the morning, she heard others talking about today's military parade.
Although she didn't know what a military parade was, her interest was still aroused. So when she saw the live broadcast on TV, she was a little excited.
As Chen Xi tidied up, he looked at her silly expression and couldn't help but laugh.
After cleaning up the garbage on the table, Chen Xi moved a recliner to sit under the steps and then called the little fellow over.
Hearing this, the little guy immediately jumped into Chen Xi's arms.
She giggled as she rubbed against Chen Xi's chest a few times. Then, she turned over and laid in his arms to watch TV.
The National Day military parade was not held every year. The last one was in 2009.
After many years, the National Day military parade was finally held again, so the people in Shang Jing were very excited.
In the old alleys and on the streets, they gathered in groups of three or five. One of them was holding a mobile phone ready to watch the live broadcast, and a few people behind him were chatting.
Some impatient people had already climbed to the roof, ready to see the fighter jets that would fly over their heads later.
Because of the importance of the military parade, martial law had been implemented around Tiananmen Square as early as a day ago.
All the schools and units near Chang 'an Street had to be closed. All the office buildings on Chang' an Street had to be closed. The curtains on the side of the hotel facing Chang 'an Street must be drawn. During the ceremony, they must not be opened without permission.
In addition, some residents living near Tiananmen Square would also be evacuated. The government would pay for them to live in hotels, and the army would check the safety of each building one by one to ensure that nothing would happen during the military parade.
Tickets would be given out during the military parade, but not everyone could get them.
The audience had to go through strict political screening to get the tickets. Ordinary people could not get close to the scene at all, let alone go to Tiananmen Square to see it up close.
This also made some of the people in Shang Jing very unhappy.
The military parade was at their doorstep. Although they could not see the soldiers marching, they could at least see the planes in the sky …
So with this mentality, many people went out.
With Tiananmen Square as the center, martial law was implemented within a five-kilometer radius.
Shang Jing was quiet on this day. The streets were very deserted, and the empty streets were free for pedestrians to pass through.
Although there was only one street that was controlled, there were almost no pedestrians or vehicles in the Second Ring Road.
It could be said that the streets were empty.
What about the people?
They were all along Chang 'an Street, a few kilometers away from Tiananmen Square.
Even if they could only see the parade vehicles passing by from a distance across the street, they would feel very satisfied.
After all, watching it on TV and seeing it with their own eyes were two completely different experiences.
9: 59 AM.
Everyone stood up.
Salutes were fired.
The national anthem was played.
The national flag was raised.
70 salutes roared.
It shocked the whole city.
The little fellow was shocked and immediately looked up at the sky.
The courtyard house was like a well.
She sat in the well and looked up to see only a square of blue sky and white clouds.
Then, in every corner of Hua Xia, on the land of 9.6 million square kilometers, the prelude of the March of the Volunteer Army sounded at the same time.
"PaPa! It's time to sing! We have to stand up! "
It was probably because the kindergarten teacher had taught her that when the national anthem sounded, the little fellow jumped out of Chen Xi's arms.
She jumped and tried hard to pull Chen Xi up.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only pinch her little face and stand up from the rocking chair very cooperatively.
The father and daughter faced the TV and stood side by side.
The little fellow watched TV and imitated the movements on TV. She tried hard to raise her little hand in front of her forehead.
Her hands were crooked and not straight, but her little face was very tense, and she had a serious look on her face.
"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves …"
She sang a sentence sweetly. After singing it, she found that Chen Xi next to her had no reaction.
So she immediately patted Chen Xi's thigh, pursed her mouth, and said unhappily, "PaPa! You have to sing too! The teacher said that we should sing the national anthem when we raise the flag! "
Seeing her expression, Chen Xi knew that she was going to lose her temper. He quickly stood at attention, raised his right hand to his forehead, and then quickly said, "Dad was wrong. Come on, let's sing together …"
After his delay, more than half of the national anthem had been sung, so Chen Xi had to immediately sing, "Get up, get up, get up …"
Hearing this, the little fellow immediately jumped up happily, clapped her hands and sang, "We are of one heart, braving the enemy's gunfire, forward, forward, forward!"
After singing, she threw herself on Chen Xi's lap, held Chen Xi's leg, and giggled.
Chen Xi sat back in the chair with her in his arms and listened to the explanation on TV.
For a moment, there was a rather emotional look on his face.
