Xiaoyun drank three bottles of mineral water today, while Yu Yang and Chen Hong, spoiled by the water in the space, only drank a pot of warm water they brought from home.

Although I ate some fruit, I still felt extremely thirsty.

Chen Hong poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yun and Yu Yang respectively, and then began to sip her tea with relish.

After drinking a pot of tea, I felt refreshed and all my fatigue disappeared.

Chen Hong left Xiao Yun to watch the two children and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.

They plan to eat and go to bed early today, as Xiaoyun will have to get up early for work tomorrow, and Chen Hong and Yu Yang will also be going out on their own.

Zhao Yu introduced a senior from their major to take them to visit the remaining important attractions in Beijing.

The two parties agreed to meet at Tiananmen Square at nine o'clock in the morning. From now on, someone will arrange to buy tickets for all the attractions that require tickets in advance, which makes Chen Hong very happy.

Hiring Zhao Yu these past two days has been a boon for Chen Hong; having a knowledgeable guide like Zhao Yu makes things much easier and less stressful!

By spending just a few hundred yuan more each day, you can have everything you need to worry about.

Chen Hong felt it was a good deal that she could hear explanations from professionals and avoid misleading her son with misleading information.

Isn't money meant to be spent? Besides, hiring these college students can help them support themselves, which makes it even more worthwhile!

In the evening, Chen Hong steamed a pot of rice, mixed some green beans with sesame sauce, and also stir-fried shrimp, sweet and sour pork, and boiled grouper.

Finally, I used several ingredients, including sea cucumber, abalone, scallops, and Arctic shrimp, to make a seafood family portrait.

While feeding Junjun shrimp, Xiaoyun said to Chen Hong, "Sister, now that you live by the sea, you can cook even more delicious food!"

You've really put a lot of thought into how you cook seafood! Junjun and I have been enjoying some really fancy dishes with you guys these past few days!

Where else can we find such fresh seafood?

"This is nothing, you haven't been to our beach."

The fishermen there each have their own special skills in cooking seafood, and each family can make several signature dishes.

Even if you're a kitchen novice, as long as you live by the sea and have freshly caught seafood, you don't need to put in much effort; steaming or boiling will both be delicious!

Seafood is all about freshness. Most seafood only needs a simple steaming or boiling; anyone can be a seafood chef.

After a hearty dinner, the little girl fell asleep while taking a bath.

Chen Hong stayed home to take care of the children, while Xiao Yun went out for a run with Yu Yang. If they keep it up, his physical fitness will improve quickly.

It's really exhausting for someone to work and take care of their child at the same time.

Xiaoyun's health is currently in a sub-optimal state. If she doesn't take care of it, she will develop health problems in the long run.

Men, most of them have a weakness. After marriage, they all want children, feeling that having children means having roots and that their bloodline can be passed on.

Even after they had children, I didn't see them putting much effort and energy into their upbringing.

She usually only focuses on her own work and career, and only helps to hold the child when she is happy. She also finds it annoying when the child cries!

Their family's roots lie in the mothers who raised them with painstaking care, handling everything from work and housework to childcare.

In this society, women actually have it the hardest and most tiring job! (Raise your hand if you disagree, and I'll chop off whichever hand you raise! No dissenting opinions allowed!!)

That night, Yu Yang and Xiao Yun turned off the lights in their room early and went to rest.

Chen Hong took advantage of the evening to thoroughly clean and wipe down all the rooms in the front and back yards.

If you're going to live here, you should live here properly. Even though Chen Hong isn't a clean freak, she couldn't accept that there was still dust everywhere after everyone moved in.

It seems we need to have Xiaoyun hire a part-time cleaner to come and clean the room.

Otherwise, after he and Yu Yang leave, given Xiao Yun's thrifty nature, she will definitely do everything herself.

Cleaning such a large yard would be exhausting, let alone for Xiaoyun who was already quite tired.

Instead of wasting time, you should rest more and take good care of your body. Good health is the most important thing!

Chen Hong finally went to bed at 11 o'clock. Zhou Yi didn't come tonight, and she didn't receive any messages from him.

She lay alone on the large bed, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. She typed a short message: "I climbed the Great Wall today; the scenery was beautiful and magnificent! Good evening!"

Click send! Silently staring at my phone, half an hour has passed, and there's still no response.

She didn't know who had Zhou Yi's phone, and she didn't dare send any other messages.

Chen Hong decided to hold back until he could reply to her messages, so as not to cause him any trouble!

Chen Hong got up at 3:30 a.m. to wash up, woke Yu Yang up, and took her ID card, water bottle, mobile phone and digital camera.

The mother and daughter changed into sportswear and running shoes, locked the gate upside down, and ran straight to Tiananmen Square.

I inquired with Zhao Yu and learned that if you want to be at the front of the line to watch the flag-raising ceremony, the earlier you arrive, the better.

Many tourists from other places arrive at the square at night and wait overnight just to grab a good spot to watch the flag!

The mother and daughter arrived at Tiananmen Square in less than 20 minutes. Before the security checkpoint even opened, there were already 20 or 30 people queuing up.

To get a closer look at the flag-raising ceremony, everyone rushed to run as soon as the security gate opened.

A 100-meter sprint, just to witness the flag-raising ceremony in person—these are the patriotic hearts that are running!

This is the second time I've been this close to Tiananmen Square. There are more and more people, it seems like the entire city of Beijing has suddenly flooded into Tiananmen Square.

The flag-raising ceremony is now at 5:10 in the morning. Chen Hong, along with Yu Yang, used their gender and strength advantages to finally secure a good spot.
