Chapter 298: Raising the National Flag (Seeking votes at the end of the month)
"Wait a minute, bro!"
Huo Dongsheng was anxious. He really had a good impression of Comrade Xiaoyu, but he didn't expect that his sister-in-law already wanted to introduce him to a partner. Alas, if he didn't express his opinion, it would be really difficult.
"Well... I... I do have some feelings for Comrade Xiaoyu, but... but he is a native of Jing City. How could he possibly look down on a country boy like me?"
It's not that Huo Dongsheng looked down on me, it's mainly because this concept is still quite strong in this era, especially during the planned economy years, when city dwellers were supplied, but country dwellers really had nothing if they didn't work, which is why city girls didn't want to marry country guys, and country girls would try their best to find a city guy.
Although the situation is completely different now than in previous years, this concept still exists, especially in big cities like Beijing.
Huo Dongsheng still had some inferiority complex, and the girl had a very good job, so he was a little afraid to express his thoughts. But it was indeed the first time he met a girl he liked so much. He was almost twenty-two years old, and in the countryside his children could run away. He was also afraid that Comrade Xiaoyu was really with someone else, so he was forced to say it out loud.
"What's wrong with rural people? Although life in the countryside is not as good as in the city, it's not like that for everyone in the countryside. Your sister-in-law and I are from the countryside too. Who dares to say that we are just peasants?"
"You can't choose your family background, but you can choose your future path, so I still hope you can think about it. If you really like the girl, you might as well give it a try. You are already a grown-up, and your sister-in-law and I can't handle everything for you. Besides, your sister-in-law and I are going back soon. Whether you and Comrade Xiaoyu can have a result is your own business. That's all I have to say."
Huo Beichuan seldom talks so much to his younger brother. His main purpose is to hope that his younger brother can find a girl he loves and spend his life with her like himself.
"good!"
There was a bit more determination in Huo Dongsheng's eyes.
Huo Beichuan sent Xiaoyu back to the guesthouse, and then went with his wife to return the car. The two planned to have some fun in Beijing and then prepare to go home.
Since they were in Beijing, they definitely wanted to visit Tiananmen Square, so they found a guesthouse closest to Tiananmen Square. The couple planned to stay there for one night and go directly to Tiananmen Square early in the morning to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
For a soldier like Huo Beichuan, that was definitely the most sacred thing, so he was unusually excited.
After placing their luggage at the guesthouse, the couple went to see some famous buildings nearby, ate some local delicacies, and then returned to the guesthouse.
Huo Beichuan still had some trauma about Douzhi, and he said to his wife, "Other foods in Jingshi are delicious, but I just can't accept the one called Douzhi."
This was so funny that Shen Jintao laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and was eventually pressed down on the bed by her own man.
The next day, before dawn, Chen Jintao was awakened by the sound of the man next to her getting up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Beichuan was already wearing a neat military uniform, looking very smart.
Chen Jintao laughed at him, "Those who know you are going to watch the flag-raising ceremony, while those who don't would think you are going on a blind date!"
Huo Beichuan really wanted to shut this little woman's mouth, but was rejected by Shen Jintao in the end.
It was early in the morning and both of them hadn't washed yet, but they didn't even mind the smell!
Although neither of them seemed to have bad breath, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
Since they were all awake, Chen Jintao got up and put on her clothes. Finally, she playfully suggested that they go drink some soybean juice. She said, "The gentlemen in Renjing City all like this. It must be delicious and unique. Maybe we just can't get used to it for a while, but we will get used to it in the future, and we will like it when we get used to it."
Huo Beichuan really admired his young wife's ability to talk nonsense. He did not refuse at all. Instead, he smiled at his wife and said, "Okay, since you think so, then I don't think there is any problem. Let's go and drink, one bowl each. Who knows, if we drink too much, we may fall in love."
Chen Jintao: ...
Finding that this man was becoming increasingly difficult to fool, Chen Jintao gave up because she really couldn't stand the taste.
Although I don't understand why people in Beijing like this, I have to respect it even if I don't understand. It's just that they definitely can't eat it.
The two of them went to buy some buns and soy milk to eat, and walked towards Tiananmen Square while eating. Although it seemed a bit indecent, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, there were a lot of people watching the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square in the morning. Especially after the economic opening, everyone loved to travel everywhere. There was nothing they could do about it. There were more and more rich people.
If you don't go early, you won't be able to get a good seat. Just look at the man next to you and you will know how much he wants to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
Fortunately, the two of them arrived quite early. Although there were already more than ten or twenty people there when they arrived, they still found a good seat. In addition, Huo Beichuan was tall, so there was no need to worry about not being able to see. Chen Jintao was not short either, so there was no problem for them to stand in the second row.
After a while, people started arriving one after another, and soon the entire square was full. Chen Jintao didn't know how many people came to watch the flag-raising ceremony, but when she looked back, she saw only heads. Tsk tsk...
This reminded her of some very famous tourist attractions in later generations. They were like this during the peak season, crowded with people, and there were also many locals. After all, even the locals of Beijing could not have time to watch the flag-raising ceremony every day. Those who had to go to work or school early in the morning went to work, and it was a pride for the locals to be able to come and watch it occasionally.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just at six o'clock, music that was familiar to everyone rang out in the square. No one knew who wanted to sing along, but everyone's emotions were aroused, and soon the square was filled with the chorus of the crowd. Even Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan couldn't help but sing along.
There were also some elderly people in the crowd who were wearing military uniforms that were washed to a pale color. Some of them were disabled. Just by looking at the righteousness in these elderly people, you could tell that they were most likely those who had just come down from the battlefield. They were also a group of the most lovely people who were worthy of awe.
Huo Beichuan unexpectedly met a familiar face in the crowd. The old man had a flushed face and was singing heroically.
