"An An, Le Le, let's practice what we need to pay attention to when we watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow."
The two children stood in front of Wei Jianguo, waiting for their father to help them adjust.
"Very good, stand up straight, keep your body tight, put your feet together, and let your hands hang naturally on both sides of your body. Keep your eyes on the national flag, don't wave your hands, and don't talk.
Can you sing the national anthem? "
"Won't".
"It's okay. Dad will teach you. An An Le Le is very smart. He will be able to learn it in one night."
Lele asked, "Why does Dad have so many requirements?"
"Because she represents our country and carries the country's history, dignity and honor."
Song Shuqian came over, sat next to Wei Jianguo, and said, "It was mom's negligence. I taught you so much but forgot to tell you where our roots are.
The red national flag we see was dyed with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs. When we watch the national flag slowly rise, it is as if we are having a conversation with those martyrs. Let them see the country they protected with their lives. We are paying tribute to them.
I remember there is a Revolutionary Museum here. We will go there the day after tomorrow.
An An Le Le, you must remember that you are children of soldiers. You can be mediocre, but you must be patriotic. "
The two children sensed the seriousness of their mother's attitude and began to take it seriously, nodding vigorously.
The couple smiled at each other and knew that they would definitely not raise two people who would harm society.
Wei Jianguo said, "When they are older, I will send them to the army to experience it and let them receive training."
Song Shuqian agreed with this very much, but "Can you pay more attention to sun protection? I don't want two dark-skinned sons."
Hahahaha, Wei Jianguo laughed heartily. His wife always cares about something weird.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Jianguo was rarely cruel and forced the two children to turn on their phones with cold towels.
In Tiananmen Square, the two families watched the flag-raising ceremony together.
This ceremony planted a seed in An An and Le Le’s little hearts.
They vaguely felt that their father was very different when he saluted, completely different from when he was at home.
After returning to the guesthouse and taking a nap, they changed their original itinerary.
How can a soldier's child not have visited the Revolutionary Museum? They are going there today.
Song Shuqian put on small military uniforms for the two children, and their small school bags were also embroidered with five-pointed stars.
She herself wore an army green knee-length skirt. Wei Jianguo was wearing a military uniform.
After entering the museum, Song Shuxi was attracted by the two cannons at the door. This was also the first time she saw cannons in real life.
Song Shuqian, Tiantian and the three children are all the same novices here, and they don’t understand anything at all.
When it comes to professional fields, Wei Jianguo and Liu Xinguo took over the task of explaining.
Wei Jianguo said, "This is a Type 41 75mm mountain gun, which played a huge role in the Battle of Shangganling in 1952. Its barrel is 1,300mm long, with an elevation range of -8 degrees to +25 degrees. The directional range is 3.5 degrees to the left and 2.5 degrees to the right. The maximum range is 6,000 meters. The shell types include grenades, conical grenades, and armor-piercing shells."
He was about to continue, but Song Shuxi pulled his sleeve and said, "Honey, isn't this too detailed? We don't understand."
The three children nodded vigorously.
Even though they thought their dad was very capable and knew a lot, they just couldn't understand what he was saying.
Liu Xinguo pushed him aside. "You can't do that. Let me tell you," he said, pointing to another gun. This is a mountain field gun, called the Qishengwuguo Mountain Gun. The caliber is 75 mm. It was manufactured by the Shanghai Arsenal in 1927. The total weight is 386 kilograms, and the initial velocity of the shell is 280 meters per second.
Tiantian interrupted him, "We don't really understand you either."
Song Shuqian nodded in agreement and said, "But it doesn't matter, we will remember it and we will know it next time.
It’s just that the three children are still young. It would be great if we could add a little story into the explanation so that they can remember these weapons through the story. "
Wei Jianguo and Liu Xinguo looked at each other. Weapons are a very serious matter. How can they be told as a story?
The two disagreed strongly.
Song Shuqian understood their feelings at the moment. To them, these weapons were companions and partners in protecting their faith.
She told her three children, "It's okay if you can't remember. You are only three years old. There is still plenty of time in the future. If you forget, just ask Dad. Dad will be very willing to teach you."
Wei Jianguo nodded. "As long as you want to know, you can always come and ask Dad. Dad will teach you everything I can."
After bidding farewell to the two cannons, they walked inside and looked at the brass door at the entrance. Song Shuqian and her three children said, "This door also has a story. It is made of brass. Copper is a purple-red metal. In the air, a layer of oxygen film will gradually form on the surface of copper, and the color will turn into dark red or dark brown.
You can touch the door and feel it. "
Waiting for the three children to come back, she continued, "Copper has good electrical and thermal conductivity, and is a material widely used in the electrical and electronic industries. It is very precious.
The brass used in the gate we see was melted from shell casings brought back from the battlefield.
The meaning is very different. The gate of the Revolutionary Museum is made of bullet shells from the battlefield. Think about it, isn't it? "
An An is very interested in copper. "Mom, can I learn about copper?"
"Sure, I'll tell you when we get back, but it will reduce your play time. Are you willing?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
"Thank you, Mom. An An is willing."
In front of the statue of the eldest brother, the two fathers saluted with their children.
Next is the home turf of Wei Jianguo and Liu Xingguo. They know fighter jets, tanks, armored vehicles, and all kinds of weapons like the back of their hands.
Tell the children one by one.
There are some that allow tourists to go up and experience it, and they will even put children up there to let them feel it.
Guns are men's romance.
Including little men like An An Lele.
After coming out of the museum, the two of them became their father's pendants, looking at their father with little stars twinkling in their eyes.
Their dad is so awesome, and they want to be like him in the future.
Not only did they see these, but another person also noticed it, Mr. Chu, the old man they met on the train.
The old man watched the whole process, from Song Shuxi talking about the brass door at the door to saluting the boss.
Later, he also listened to a few words when Wei Jianguo and Liu Xinguo talked about various weapons to the two children.
I didn't expect to meet him again when I was leaving.
Old Chu muttered that he and this family really had a connection.
In the car, Old Man Chu thought, it would be great if all children could receive such education and come to see these big guys.
Children are the future and hope, and he is very optimistic about these three children.
On the other side, Lele said in a very flattering way, "Mom, let's eat some meat. Dad has worked so hard and talked so much."
Song Shuqian flicked his head and said, "Isn't mom usually very hard-working? Do you like what you saw today?"
Lele nodded heavily, "I like it. I want to make the most powerful weapon for my dad."
At this moment, Lele's eyes were frighteningly bright. He said to Wei Jianguo, "I pray that there will never be war in the world and that all people can live in peace." Their expressions were inexplicably the same as when they were talking.
Song Shuqian realized that Lele was very serious at this moment. She said, "Le Le is really ambitious. You will have a lot to learn, and there will be many things that mom and dad don't understand. It will be very hard for you."
"Le Le is not afraid of hard work." The little body stood straight, and the burning look in the eyes was irresistible.
"Okay, Mom and Dad will help you."
Future weapons research experts start from here.
