Chapter 208 Watching the Flag Raising Ceremony

Normally, there would be a wrap party after the filming is completed, but due to the influence of various passionate emotions during the filming, everyone's patriotic enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and they didn't want to just have a quick meal and end it. This made them feel empty inside.

So someone suggested that we go watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Of course Su Zi would not refuse. He directly reserved a seat online and booked tickets for everyone to the capital.

Fly to the capital overnight.

As soon as we got off the bus, we headed straight for Tiananmen Square.

According to the online guide, everyone brought a bottle of water and some food to fill their stomachs.

It is one o'clock in the morning, but the line to watch the flag-raising ceremony is very long.

There are old people and children.

In order to conserve their strength, everyone sat on the ground at first. Ticket checking began at around 3 a.m. and everyone stood up and went through three ticket checks.

After entering, everyone sprinted 100 meters at the same time.

They all ran to the central square of Tiananmen Square.

Because we arrived late, the first three or four rows were already occupied, so everyone lined up quietly at the back without regret.

Some people here come to visit their motherland through perseverance.

Some people put on clothes representing their own ethnic group and visited their motherland on behalf of their ethnic group.

They come to visit the New Dragon Kingdom that their ancestors worked hard to build on behalf of the characters' beliefs in the play.

Everyone sat on the ground, waiting for the long two hours to pass.

Around 5:30, I didn’t know who stood up first, but everyone stood up at the same time and the crowd began to crowd together.

Everyone maintained this posture for half an hour, and the guard of honor finally appeared at 6 o'clock.

The guard of honor carried the national flag and marched in neat and powerful steps, a total of 138 steps, with each step being 75 cm.

The footsteps were sonorous and powerful, and the scene sounded very shocking.

As the national anthem rang out, all the fatigue from the past few hours was swept away.

Everyone sang along with pride and emotion.

The bright red gradually rose into the sky under everyone's gaze.

At this moment, what everyone thinks of is not the humiliating past, but the increasingly powerful present of their beloved motherland.

It was also Su Zi’s first time to watch the flag-raising ceremony. With tears in her eyes, she kept staring at the fluttering flag.

She thought that no matter what time and space it was, she would love her motherland all her life.

…

Xia country.

After watching the flag-raising ceremony, the feeling of pride had not yet dissipated, as she thought that she had never taken her parents to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

So, I slapped my thigh and started booking tickets.

She talked to Xie Yuanxiang about it, and he also supported her going out for a walk.

go home!

After getting off the plane, Su Zi took a taxi to the vegetable market where his parents sold cold dishes.

It was almost time for dinner. One of them was responsible for cutting and counting the money, while the other was responsible for mixing the food. They worked in perfect harmony.

Those who come to buy cold dishes are all acquaintances, and they will take time to reply to them.

Song Lu, who was helping to watch over the braising pot at the back shop, noticed Su Zi first, and Su Zi shook her head at her.

After understanding what she meant, Song Lu lowered her head and continued to look at the pot, occasionally glancing at the customers who were buying cold dishes.

Su Zi discovered that there were more people protecting the area than just Song Lu. The vegetable seller opposite, the tofu seller next to him, and the meatball seller were all familiar faces.

If anyone dares to act rashly, these people will attack him in groups.

Su Zi didn't bother them. He bought some vegetables at the market and went back to cook.

Su Guishan and Liu Juan closed their stall and went home. As soon as they entered the house, they heard noises coming from the kitchen.

Liu Juan ran to the kitchen with a look of surprise on her face, "Zi Zi, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I would have asked your dad to pick you up."

"Put it down now, I'll do it."

"I arrived at around four o'clock. I went to the market and saw you guys were busy, so I came back to cook."

"Mom, I'm almost done. You and my dad go wash your hands first, and we can eat soon."

Su Guishan was also very happy. He took out all the dried fruits and snacks that Su Zi liked in the house and placed them on the coffee table.

For three people, Su Zi just cooked three dishes. Since her family didn't have the habit of drinking soup, she didn't cook any soup.

"It's so tiring to ride the bus. Just take a rest when you get back. You can go out to eat in the evening."

Although these three dishes were simple, Liu Juan still felt that Su Zi was tired.

"Nothing out there is as delicious as what I make at home. Come on, eat, mom. I haven't cooked for a long time. I wonder if my cooking skills have deteriorated."

"Dad, you should eat too."

"Oh, okay."

Just after putting it in their mouths and taking a few bites, they both said "delicious"

Su Zi smiled helplessly and accepted the compliments from both of them.

After eating, the family sat on the sofa, and Su Zi expressed his idea of ​​taking them to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Su Guishan sat up straight instantly, "Really?"

The obsession of their generation is to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Although he is rich now, his daughter has never been free, so he never mentioned it. In fact, he has been looking forward to the opportunity to go and see her.

Liu Juan also wanted to go, so she agreed immediately, "Okay, your dad and I will sell the vegetables we prepared tomorrow, and we will go together as a family."

"I want to eat Beijing's roast duck, climb the Great Wall, and more, I saw Sister Chen from Building 3 went to the Forbidden City to take photos in ancient costumes."

"Then our whole family will go and take the photo."

"Our Zi Zi is so pretty, she will definitely look better in the photos than her daughter."

Listening to his mother's rising competitive spirit, Su Zi smiled and said, "Okay, since we're going, let's play for a few more days."

It’s just right, the New Year is almost coming when I come back.

After the discussion, the two of them sold all the prepared vegetables at a discount price the next day, gave the hired helpers a holiday, and the family packed their luggage and headed straight for the capital.

The process for watching the flag-raising ceremony on both sides is the same, and you need to make an appointment in advance.

She was also worried that her parents would not be able to handle staying up late at night, so she wanted to go later so that they could sleep more. However, they were more enthusiastic than her and urged her to leave at 11 o'clock in the evening.

Su Zi tried his best to persuade them and dragged them over there at around one o'clock.

The shoes and clothes worn by the three people were all equipped with heating function, so they were not cold while waiting in line.

Su Guishan and Liu Juan have been taking photos since they started queuing.

When entering the venue, he ran faster than Su Zi, and Su Zi, who almost lost him, looked puzzled.

Thanks to them, I managed to get a seat in the second row this time.

When the flag was raised, the two of them looked at the rising red flag and couldn't help wiping away tears.

After the ceremony, both of them looked very satisfied.

After returning to the hotel and taking a nap, Su Zi took the two of them to eat the roast duck they had been craving for.

The moment they started eating, their curiosity turned into something indescribable.

"This roast duck seems to be similar to the ones we make ourselves." Liu Juan even wondered if her mouth was damaged.

Su Zi laughed and continued to make roast duck for the two of them, "The taste is actually similar, but the capital's roast duck is famous, and everyone who comes here will come to try it."

Su Guishan suddenly realized, "So this is why you only let us order one at the beginning."

Suzi smiled and nodded.

After eating a not-so-delicious roast duck, the three of them strolled around the nearby streets.

The next day we climbed the Great Wall.

On the third day, Su Zi made an appointment with the makeup artist in advance to fulfill Liu Juan's dream of taking photos at the Forbidden City.

Coincidentally, it was snowing in the capital on the day the photo was taken.

The photographer who took the photo of them was very happy, and the photo was amazing in the snow.

Moreover, the girl in front of him was so pretty that no matter how he took pictures, they would turn out well, so he took several sets of pictures.

After the filming, Su Zi received a strange phone call.

"Xiao Su, do you want to come to my place with your parents?"
