Chapter 259 Song Yiyuan's Medals

Lin Qingqing and a group of sisters-in-law followed the crowd to the entrance of the auditorium.

It was too dark to see the exterior just now, but now standing at the door of the auditorium, I can truly feel its grandeur.

The auditorium is a large flat, more than twice as tall as an average house. A row of red flags are planted on the roof, rustling in the wind.

Below the red flag are four separate gold-sprayed characters: "Strict Military Discipline."

The walls are beige, standing out among the numerous gray buildings in the army.

Lin Qingqing found that the soldiers on guard were standing like pine trees, staring straight ahead with their bright eyes, and apart from saluting, they did not make any unnecessary movements.

But the pockets of their military uniforms were filled with all kinds of food, such as candies, pumpkins, melon seeds, oranges, etc.

It forms a contrast with their majestic demeanor.

Aunt Wang walked up to the soldiers, took out some biscuits from her bag, and stuffed them into the soldiers' pockets one by one.

Lin Qingqing understood that these foods were given by the soldiers' families. Since the soldiers on guard duty could not eat or move, the sisters-in-law felt that the soldiers were working hard, so they would put some food in their pockets.

Lin Qingqing followed the example of the other sisters-in-law and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candies from the bag and put them into the soldiers' pockets.

Afterwards, she was led in by her sisters-in-law. You Manhua was still walking in front. Many people knew her and seemed to respect her very much.

It was the same look he gave to the leader's aunt.

Lin Qingqing was shocked as soon as she stepped into the auditorium.

In this era where frugality is valued, the auditorium can be said to be magnificent.

There are countless lights on the ceiling of the auditorium, all shining on the walls and the floor... There is no dark corner, and the entire auditorium is as bright as day.

There is also a circle of red silk hanging on the wall, which looks bright and colorful.

What makes the auditorium brighter is the tall podium. The half-meter-high podium is completely wrapped in a red carpet. The carpet is bright red, and it makes people feel warm in their hearts.

A large military emblem was hung on the wall of the podium. The red and gold emblem reflected a dazzling halo under the light, making the entire auditorium even more dazzling.

This auditorium can accommodate more than 2,000 people. More than 2,000 seats are arranged in a curved arc, wrapping the auditorium. The seats are densely packed from top to bottom and from left to right, which is eye-catching.

The seating areas for those who came to watch the ceremony today have been allocated, and Lin Qingqing followed her sisters-in-law to the family area.

Out of consideration for the military families, the army arranged their seats both in the middle and in the front.

The first row are all military leaders, and the second row are the soldiers who will be commended today.

The area in the middle right of the third to eighth rows is for military dependents.

You Manhua went straight to the third row, and Aunt Wang followed her and pulled Lin Qing to the third row as well.

The sisters-in-law from the Eagle Claw group were scattered in four rows.

Many leaders' family members have not arrived yet, so they cannot just sit in the third row.

You Manhua sat on the far right, followed by Aunt Wang, Lin Qingqing, Xiuhong, and Hongxi.

Xiuhong and Hongyi wanted to go to the fourth row, but were pulled there by Lin Qingqing.

If there were no acquaintances around her for several hours, she would not be able to sit still if she had to sit with people she didn't know.

With Xiuhong by her side, Lin Qingqing felt much more at ease and was in the mood to look around.

The auditorium was filled with loud singing, and although there were many people, it was not noisy. The soldiers took their seats in an orderly manner after entering, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

It's just past six twenty now, and another group of sisters-in-law are coming over.

Faced with such a solemn scene today, the usually talkative sister-in-law also silently shut her mouth, not wanting to embarrass her man.

As time went by, the military families and soldiers took their seats one after another. Except for the first and second rows, there were no empty seats in the entire auditorium.

Lin Qingqing saw that the second row was still empty and Song Yiyuan and the others hadn't arrived yet. She asked Xiuhong, "Did Song Yiyuan and the others go straight to the podium from backstage when they received their awards?"

She saw a small door on each side of the podium.

Xiuhong: "No, they were about to get up from their seats to receive the award. They must have gone to change clothes. They came quickly. It's impossible for them to be late."

Lin Qingqing nodded.

After waiting for another two minutes, at 6:29, the chief and the leaders of the troops entered the auditorium, followed by the Eagle Claw Group led by Song Yiyuan.

They were all wearing heavy and solemn formal attire today.

His steps were firm and resolute when he raised his legs and put his feet down, showing the demeanor of a soldier.

The medals on their chests represent their contributions to the country as soldiers.

The chief and Commissioner Wang led the way in front, followed by a group of division-level leaders. They all had seven rows of medals on their chests, which was the honor that veterans of the founding of the country deserved.

All the soldiers stood up and saluted.

The military families also stood up and saluted.

When the leader walked to the first row, Lin Qingqing also saw Song Yiyuan behind the leader.

As soon as the chief and other leaders sat down, those who stood up also sat down in unison.

Song Yiyuan and his group seemed even more abrupt and dazzling when they passed by.

Except Zhou Lie, all the remaining nineteen members of Eagle Claw were present.

They were dressed in formal attire and moved in unison, like controlled machines.

Song Yiyuan and Zhang Liang walked side by side with their team members in the front.

He stared straight ahead with a resolute gaze, a brightly colored badge embedded in the center of his wide-brimmed military cap, perfectly blending his sculpted figure with a soldier's courage.

The sturdy upper body makes the dress look straight, wide and stylish.

The military pants and boots on his lower body, coupled with his long legs, made him look majestic as he walked.

As these nineteen people got closer, the medals on their chests became even more eye-catching.

Most of them were three-row or four-row medals, and one or two were in the third row.

But the leader Song Yiyuan had seven rows, seven full rows!

He is only twenty-four years old this year.

Seven rows of medals are not common.

The first row has four individual first-class merits, six collective first-class merits, and eight individual second-class merits.

The second row is the lieutenant colonel military rank badge, special group service experience badge, and individual first-level commendation honors.

The third row is the badges for service in major special tasks, commendations for major military operations, and personal commendations for major operations.

The fourth row is the regimental-level service experience badge, the deputy regimental-level service experience badge, and the battalion-level service experience badge.

The first row is the deputy battalion-level service experience badge, the company-level service experience badge, and the ten-year service badge.

The sixth row contains high, intermediate and elementary command education and training chapters.

The seventh row is the overseas education and training stamp, the eight-year service stamp, and the six-year service stamp.
