Seeing that his ears were a little red, I couldn't help but laugh.
We've been married for decades, is this really necessary?
He's like a young lad!
Of course, I was secretly delighted, but then I wondered, "Will you be able to go on stage like this tomorrow?"
She had just heard from her son on the way that the commendation ceremony would be held at the Great Hall of the People at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
This is the first time my daughter-in-law has been nominated, and Mr. Huo is one of the presenters. It would be such a pity if she couldn't go on stage tomorrow.
Mr. Huo endured the pain and said, "It's nothing, I just bumped into something."
"Keep trying to be brave."
How could Huo's mother not know him?
She gave her father a reproachful look, then said, "When we go back inside, I'll get some medicinal wine and rub it on you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Yes."
It was getting late, so Mrs. Huo picked out a few important things to talk about, and then distributed the gifts she had brought back to each of the households.
She hadn't originally planned to bring these things.
But Mr. and Mrs. Lu were just too enthusiastic, and Mrs. Huo couldn't possibly handle the two of them on her own.
In the end, having no other choice, they had to accept all these tokens of goodwill.
Looking at the things piled on the table, Mrs. Huo sighed.
Then, smiling, she added, "Fortunately, they're moving back to Beijing at the end of the year, otherwise..."
"What?" Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo both looked over when they heard this.
The others also stopped what they were doing.
"Mom, are my eldest brother and sister-in-law going to settle down in Beijing?"
Mrs. Huo nodded, and then told them about their family of six's plan to settle in Beijing.
Although they had been mentally prepared, the old man and his wife still teared up when they learned that it was Mr. and Mrs. Lu who had brought it up.
The whole family was so excited about the news that they couldn't sleep.
Jiang Si is the same.
After taking a shower, I lay in bed and kept tossing and turning.
Finally, Huo Tingzhou reached out and pulled her closer to him.
"Can't you sleep?"
However, his response was Jiang Si suddenly turning over.
The next second, her arms wrapped around his neck.
Perhaps it's because he's leaving on a long journey tomorrow.
Or perhaps, I've accumulated too many emotions that need to be released lately.
In short, Jiang Si was exceptionally enthusiastic that night.
Huo Tingzhou was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening and immediately turned the tables.
...
The following day was the day the commendation ceremony was officially held.
For this occasion, formal attire is essential.
Jiang Si specially changed into a proper woolen suit, and her hair was neatly pulled back behind her ears, revealing only her full and smooth forehead.
Just after eight o'clock in the morning, the family arrived early outside the Great Hall of the People.
After going through several strict security checks, Jiang Si followed the flow of people to the Great Hall of the People.
The commendation ceremony was held in the main hall of the Great Hall of the People.
With the help of the staff, Jiang Si quickly found her seat.
After sitting down, she looked around.
There were many people attending the conference. On the left were soldiers in various uniforms, and on the right were military family representatives dressed in formal attire, just like her.
Although she had visited the Great Hall of the People before, she had only taken a cursory look at it as a tourist.
This is completely incomparable to sitting inside and receiving inspection and commendation from leaders.
At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the commendation ceremony officially began with the solemn playing of the national anthem.
When the entire audience stood up and sang the national anthem, Jiang Si's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
Next, the leaders took the stage to speak.
When I saw leaders I usually only saw on TV and in newspapers walk onto the stage.
Jiang Si was completely unable to control her emotions at this moment.
Through her teary eyes, she glanced at the others.
It seems like everyone is like that.
Jiang Si immediately felt relieved.
Finally, it was the leader's powerful and resounding speech that brought everyone back to their senses.
"Comrades, we are gathered here today in solemn celebration..."
"To commend the outstanding individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to national defense development over the past few years..."
After a brief speech, the commendation ceremony officially began.
The first award was given to the national "Model of Supporting the Government and Cherishing the People," which is mostly given to active-duty military personnel.
The award recipients will be granted honorary titles and awarded certificates and medals.
Those whose names were called went up on stage one by one to receive their awards.
There were dozens of award winners, and each person had to give an acceptance speech.
By the time all these procedures were completed, it was already past 11 a.m.
After a round of enthusiastic applause.
The leader took the stage again.
"Next, we will be awarding the title of 'National Model of Patriotism and Support for the Military' to representatives of those who received the award—"
