After a hard night's work, they woke up early, refreshed. Gu Lingfeng wanted to take Zhao Si to watch the flag-raising ceremony. He had asked Zhao Si before, but Zhao Si had no idea what it was. It was actually quite strange, but there were so many strange things about Zhao Si that Gu Lingfeng didn't take it seriously.

An appointment is required to watch the flag-raising ceremony. There are many people going to watch the flag-raising ceremony every day, and it is especially popular during the National Day. Fortunately, Zhang Zhen announced the holiday not too late, and Gu Lingfeng grabbed two spots.

The time of the flag-raising ceremony is different every day. It is determined by the time of sunrise calculated based on the longitude and latitude of the square. It is around six o'clock on National Day. Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng arrived at the square early and waited for the ceremony to begin with hundreds of thousands of citizens and tourists.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhao Si felt shocked. It was the first time he saw so many people, and he couldn't quite understand the significance of so many people gathering here.

In the morning light, eight buglers blew the flag-raising horn from the city wall, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Accompanied by the horn sound, 96 members of the honor guard, carrying the bright red national flag, marched in unison onto the Jinshui Bridge.

They were dressed in uniform, looking heroic and energetic, their movements in unison and their steps firm and powerful. On the south side of Jinshui Bridge, 30 honor guards lined up on both sides and saluted the national flag.

They marched in unison to the flagpole, the solemn national anthem sounded, and a flag bearer threw the national flag with force. The bright red national flag rose slowly in the sky along with the rising sun.

At this moment, the whole audience stood in silence and saluted. Everyone's eyes followed the national flag as it rose higher and higher into the sky. They spontaneously sang the national anthem. Zhao Si took off his mask and hat, and disappeared into the crowd with Gu Lingfeng.

The flag-raiser precisely controlled the speed of the flag's ascent. By the time the national anthem ended, the flag had reached the top of the pole, fluttering in the wind. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sunlight shone on the fluttering flag, shining with golden light.

There was warm applause and cheers in the square, and some people even shed tears of excitement. People expressed their love for the motherland and respect for the national flag in this way.

The ceremony ended and the crowd gradually dispersed. This was Zhao Si's first time watching a flag-raising ceremony, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. The entire flag-raising ceremony was very solemn and dignified. He deeply felt the strength of the motherland and the pride of the nation.

For the first time, he felt so strongly that this was his home, this was his country, and he loved his country.

Zhao Si put his mask and hat back on. He walked to the bottom of the flagpole and looked up at the fluttering national flag. Gu Lingfeng could not see his expression, but could only see his focused eyes.

"Is it interesting?"

"Yes." Zhao Si turned his head to look at Gu Lingfeng and said solemnly and firmly: "We will come again next time."

"good."

After watching the flag-raising ceremony, Gu Lingfeng took Zhao Si to reunite with his brothers to help Chen Tong decorate the wedding room.

Chen Tong’s wedding house had been bought in advance. Although he was not a rich second-generation, his family conditions were not bad. Moreover, he was an IT elite in a large company and his income was still considerable.

Chen Tong rarely spends money. Apart from meeting with his brothers, he basically goes back and forth between the company and home. He saves most of his salary, so after working for two years and with a little help from his parents, he bought an apartment, but he didn't decorate it, so he still lives with his parents.

Maybe it was fate. The house was not far from his company and was also close to the school where Qu Jing worked, so he just renovated it to use as a wedding house.

Chen Tong bought an ordinary commercial house, which is definitely not comparable to Gu Lingfeng's house, but it is also very good. Within the Third Ring Road, in Yanjing, where every inch of land is valuable, it is worth more than 10 million yuan. However, he took out a mortgage, paid half of it as a down payment, and is still struggling to pay off the remaining half of the loan.

They were all good friends. When Chen Tong bought his house, Gu Lingfeng had helped him get a discount. Although the neighborhood wasn't developed by Gu's, everyone was in the same circle, so it wasn't difficult to get a discount. Qi Heng's house was also discounted, and since it was a property developed by Gu's own company, the discount was quite substantial.

The only one who hadn't bought a house was Chen Chuan. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it; he was an elite lawyer with referrals from his brothers and a decent income. He just didn't want to buy and wasn't optimistic about the future of real estate.

Moreover, he was alone and could live anywhere. He rented a high-end serviced apartment next to the law firm. It was convenient and quick to move in. The apartment had a club, a swimming pool, and a gym. It could be said that he lived more luxuriously than anyone else.

Moreover, they are all native Yanjing people, and their parents live in Yanjing. When he gets bored of living in the apartment, he goes back home to stay for a few days, accompany his parents, and change his mood.

"sure!"

“This floor color is nice.”

"This bed is really big."

"This massage chair is pretty good, it's quite enjoyable."

“This lamp is quite tasteful!”

“The sofa is pretty soft too.”

As soon as they entered the house, several people started to look around without any hesitation. They had all been here when Chen Tong first bought the house, but it was still a rough house at that time, and they couldn't see anything except the lighting and layout.

After checking the bathroom, they finally sat down on the sofa and Chen Tong brought them drinks.

"Xiaotong, your decoration is really nice."

"Of course! They were all designed by Qu Jing. She has good taste." Chen Tong was a little proud. He also felt that the new house was well decorated. These were the decoration plans that Qu Jing worked out with the designer bit by bit.

He basically didn't offer any opinions, and when he did, he was strongly rejected by both Qu Jing and the designer. Straight men's aesthetic tastes are sometimes really scary.

Chen Tong was so happy recently that he almost floated in the air. He was actually getting married, and his wife was so beautiful and outstanding. The most important thing was that they had a very good relationship. He said with heartfelt emotion: "You should get married soon too. It's really very happy!"
