Originally, everyone came to watch the flag-raising ceremony, but their eyes were attracted by Shen Li. No matter they were men, women, young or old, they couldn't help but look at Shen Li a few more times.
Duran was both proud and worried about having such a beautiful daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, Jingchuan's marriage is a military marriage, which is protected by the state. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would be eyeing such a beautiful daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, such a good daughter-in-law belongs to my family.
Duran was thankful in his heart and stood beside Shen Li, shielding Shen Li from the gazes of some people.
When they arrived, they could stand in the front row with the best view because of their status as military dependents.
There were a lot of people watching around, and some of them gathered in a group, watching outside the fence.
Gradually, the sky gradually brightened.
Teams of honor guards in ceremonial uniforms set out from the middle gate of the Tiananmen Gate Tower, marching towards this side, kicking their feet. They stood tall and straight, with solemn and stern looks, and took neat and uniform steps. When their steps landed, they made heavy, loud and orderly sounds.
When they reached the south side of the Jinshui Bridge, they lined up in a figure eight shape on both sides, neatly arranged, solemn and dignified.
"Wow!" Duoduo, who was held in Du Lan's arms, was not sleepy at all. Her eyes, like black grapes, were blinking, looking for Lu Jingchuan everywhere, "Why isn't Dad here?"
"Your father is the flag-raiser. You will see it later." Shen Li chuckled.
"Mom, why do these uncles in hats wear clothes of different colors?" Duoduo looked at them curiously. There were three uncles standing in a row. The one on the far left was wearing a dark blue uniform, the uncle in the middle was wearing a pure white uniform, and the uncle on the far right was wearing a dark green uniform.
"Because they are the navy, air force, and army of the country, so the colors are different." Shen Li said softly, "Our country's military consists of these three branches."
"Oh." Duoduo understood, her black grape-like eyes sparkling, "So dad is in the Army!"
"Yes, very smart." Shen Li chuckled.
Although Lu Jingchuan was stationed on the island, he was a member of the Army.
"Why hasn't Dad shown up yet..." Duoduo whispered.
"Don't worry, I'll be here soon." Shen Li comforted.
Soon, a bugler not far away raised the horn and began to blow it. The high-pitched and loud sound of the horn was blown, echoing in Tiananmen Square.
At this moment, everyone was looking at this scene excitedly, and everyone was looking in this direction.
Under the gaze of the whole family, the uniformed flag guards escorted the bright red rolled five-star red flag towards this side in neat and orderly steps, sacredly and solemnly.
"Five-star red flag!" Duoduo's eyes sparkled and she said excitedly.
"Yeah." Shen Li was a little excited. This was her first time watching a flag-raising ceremony.
Lu Minghui said nothing. He pursed his lips and looked at the figure not far away with his bright dark eyes.
That's dad!
After the flag guard team brought the five-star red flag, the 꺶 family marched in neat and uniform steps and stood in formation.
At this time, the leader of the flag guard team shouted, "Salute the national flag—"
The flag guard shouted in unison, loud and clear, "Salute—"
Then the flag guard raised their rifles and began to salute.
At this moment, the solemn and sacred national anthem played, echoing in every corner of Tiananmen Square.
It is passionate, vigorous, powerful and inspiring.
At this time, Lu Jingchuan raised the bright red flag, and as the loud and clear national anthem was played, he stood as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, and raised the national flag one by one.
"It's Dad." Lu Minghui whispered, his voice filled with suppressed excitement.
Dad is really awesome!
Dad is so majestic!
Dad is so holy!
All of a sudden, Lu Jingchuan's image in Lu Minghui's mind became taller and more majestic.
"Dad! It's Dad!" Duoduo shouted excitedly.
At this time, the national anthem was playing very loudly, so it covered up Duoduo's voice.
Duoduo wanted to jump up in Duran's arms.
"Yes, he is your father." Duran looked at Lu Jingchuan, who was performing this sacred and solemn ceremony brilliantly as the sun rose, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.
Her son is so outstanding!
She was sincerely relieved to have such a good son!
Shen Li looked at the solemn, dignified and majestic man, her heart filled with emotion.
I hope that the motherland will prosper, that the country will become stronger and stronger, and that the people will be happier and live a good life living and working in peace and contentment.
…
The flag-raising ceremony is over.
The crowd around dispersed.
After the ceremony, Lu Jingchuan completed his mission and went to change his clothes. The rest of the time belonged to him and his family.
