Chapter 371 The Grand Martial Arts Competition (1)
After finding seats, the group quickly sat down to avoid inconveniencing those behind them.
Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao had already taken a nap in the car, so they were in great spirits.
After sitting down, their two big, dark eyes looked around.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Sui Sui's sight, "Daddy~~"
Attracted by her brother's voice, Zhao Zhao also called out in her childish voice.
Jiang Si was looking at the schedule when she heard the two little ones calling for their father. She instinctively thought they wanted to find him.
He patted their little heads and said soothingly, "Daddy is busy today. Daddy has to participate in the parade performance later."
The process flow chart is very clear.
The opening ceremony will be held at 8:00 a.m. sharp.
At 8:30, the national flag is raised and the national anthem is played, followed by a speech from the leader.
The parade will officially begin at 9:00 AM, during which the naval, army, air force, artillery, armored, and communications troops will be reviewed by the leaders.
A number of weapons will also be displayed during the event, somewhat like a mini military parade.
Then came the pre-competition mobilization.
After the cultural troupe's song and dance performance ends, each project team will proceed to the competition venue to prepare.
Huo Tingzhou will participate in aerobatic flight and simulated air combat in the morning.
These are all individual competitions.
The group project will be completed in the next two days.
The two little ones probably didn't quite understand what their mother was saying, and kept calling for their father.
Her chubby little hands were also busy.
Following the direction the child was pointing, Jiang Si looked up.
Not far away, the flight formations participating in the parade were assembling.
Unlike the others who were fully armed, Huo Tingzhou was not wearing a flight helmet, but instead had one hand resting on his waist.
Seemingly sensing something, he looked over the instant Jiang Si raised her eyes.
The two of them, separated by dozens of meters, suddenly locked eyes.
Suddenly, Huo Tingzhou raised his free hand.
He gave a crisp and standard military salute in her direction.
Jiang Si was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but smile.
If this were in later generations, she would stand up and make a heart shape with her hands for him.
But right now, there are people all around.
She could only suppress the flutter in her heart and wave vigorously at him.
"Keep it up!" Jiang Si said very softly.
But the smile that tugged at the corners of his mouth was clearly reflected in Huo Tingzhou's eyes.
Similarly, he waved to her.
He then deftly put on his helmet, turned around and followed the flight formation, marching in unison to the designated position.
Because of this little incident, Jiang Si's originally calm heart was slightly disturbed.
Fortunately, the entire competition was very fast-paced, leaving her little time to daydream.
However, the two little ones, who had just met their father, were unusually excited today.
When they saw Mr. Huo giving a speech on stage, the two little ones clapped their hands with joy.
They not only saw their grandfather, but also several familiar faces.
I can't remember what they're called, so I just call them all Grandpa.
Most of the family members who came to watch the game today were locals, but because they were from different branches of the military and military regions, they didn't know each other.
After the two little ones called out "Grandpa" more than ten times in a row, it sparked a lot of discussion among the crowd.
An elderly woman holding a child whispered to the person next to her.
"Whose child is this? So ill-mannered! Those are all high-ranking leaders on stage. How can they just call them whatever they want?"
The woman next to her was quite friendly. She smiled and said, "The child is still young, so it's normal for him to call an older person 'Grandpa'."
"You can't shout like that, it makes you look so rude!"
No, two toddlers who are only a year old, is it really necessary?
The woman thought to herself, "Your grandson peed on the stands just now, and you didn't say anything, did you?"
Now they're talking about manners?
Besides, everyone was talking, and it wasn't just these two kids.
Several sensible military family members nearby intervened and smoothed things over.
Soon, all the leaders on the stage had finished their speeches.
Perhaps he heard his two beloved grandsons calling out, because when Mr. Huo came down from the podium, he deliberately headed in Jiang Si's direction.
The rest of the group followed.
Most of those who came today were the top leaders of various military regions, as well as leaders of the Central Military Commission.
These are people who are rarely seen in normal times.
Seeing the leader heading in their direction, the audience of military personnel and their families were both surprised and delighted.
One by one, they all stood up.
At their parents' prompting, the children stood up and greeted, "Good morning, leaders!"
Mr. Huo nodded in acknowledgment and warmly shook hands with the military families.
And so, it took them more than ten minutes to walk just over ten meters.
The old woman who had been there earlier also stood up, holding her child. "Quickly call him Grandpa."
The child glanced timidly at Mr. Huo, then buried his head in his grandmother's neck.
The old woman immediately became anxious, "Quickly call him, say hello to Grandpa."
But the more she urged the child, the less it cried out.
"You idiot, you're almost two years old and you still can't even call me grandpa." The old lady pointed at her grandson in her arms with a hint of annoyance.
What a great opportunity! And they didn't even seize it.
Just then, Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao called out in unison, "Grandpa!"
The old woman got even angrier and blurted out, "Sycophant!"
As if slapping her in the face, Huo's father and his entourage stopped in their tracks as soon as she finished speaking.
“Come here, Sui Sui Zhao Zhao, come to Grandpa quickly.” Father Huo smiled with a loving expression.
He's been leaving early and returning late every day lately, and hasn't had a chance to spend time with his two beloved grandchildren for many days.
The two little ones wanted to go too, but Mom just said that Grandpa was busy with important business.
For a moment, they hesitated.
It wasn't until Jiang Si said softly, "Grandpa is calling you, go quickly."
The two little ones then happily rushed into their father's arms.
"grandfather!"
"grandfather!!"
As soon as Grandpa uttered those two words, the old lady's face turned pale and then flushed.
Unfortunately, nobody cared.
Aside from a few people around her who couldn't help but laugh, Jiang Si didn't notice anything amiss.
At this moment, Mr. Huo held the two little ones in his arms, one in each hand.
Have you missed Grandpa these past few days?
"We want to!" the two little ones said in unison.
"What were you thinking about?" Mr. Huo joked.
The two little ones were so charming, they hugged their father and said, "Xinxin wants it."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huo's face broke into a wide smile.
Thinking that there were no other plans, he said to Jiang Si, "Si Si, you two can relax and watch the game. I'll take them to the rest room for a while."
Since Mr. Huo had said so, Jiang Si naturally had no objections.
Moreover, she was a little worried that the two little ones might not be able to adapt to the upcoming shooting and combat competitions.
After handing the food and drinks to Huo's father's bodyguard, Jiang Si returned to her seat and quietly began to watch the performance.
After a wonderful song and dance performance, it was time for the official competition.
There are many events in this competition, and there is no order of precedence.
The entire training base was divided into eight venues, and almost all the matches were held at the same time.
Of course, in order not to interfere with the progress of the competition, each of these venues is several hundred meters apart.
Fortunately, Deputy Team Leader Lei and Brother Huo had no matches scheduled for today, so the group just sat there.
More than ten minutes later, a huge roar came from not far away.
As one fighter jet after another took off, the attention of the family members who were originally watching other games was drawn to the sky.
According to regulations, aerobatic flight generally involves nine sets of flight maneuvers, which, when combined with forward and backward flight, can result in thousands of combinations.
Pilots, on the other hand, are required to complete designated actions within a specified time.
The scoring rules were similar to those of gymnastics and diving in later generations.
The criteria are determined by the degree of completion, stability, and difficulty of the movement.
In order not to miss any wonderful moments, Jiang Si specially prepared binoculars before setting off and even brushed up on her knowledge of binoculars.
Otherwise, if she didn't understand anything, how could she cheer for Huo Tingzhou?
As I was lost in thought, the announcements began to play from the loudspeakers around the venue.
