"Oh, I checked the calendar. Tomorrow is August 1st. Not a bad day!"
"Okay, let's go there tomorrow!"
Qin Shengguo was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
I thought, tomorrow is the August 1st Army Day, which is of good significance, and it can be regarded as a fate between the two children!
The next day.
Zhao Ping got up early in the morning and killed chickens and ducks in the yard, leaving the whole family confused and bewildered.
"Mom, what day is today?"
Ainan came out of the house and asked curiously while going forward to help.
However, before Zhao Ping could say anything, Ai Gui grinned innocently, "Dad, I know, I know. Today is August 1st Army Day, the Party's holiday, so we have to celebrate."
Ai Nan was stunned for a moment, looking at Ai Gui with a puzzled look: "What do you know, you little brat?"
"Why don't I understand?"
Ai Gui's eyes widened, and he was very unconvinced: "Grandpa told us that today is the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
Ainan: “…”
Is this what he meant?
Forget it, I'd better not bother with the child.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Xiaogui is awesome. He even remembered this anniversary!"
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Ai Yunyue had two pigtails and wore a pink skirt. She looked particularly elegant and adorable. "Do you need any help?"
Zhao Ping smiled indulgently and shook her head: "No, you kids go out and play!"
She thought that Yuebao had returned safely this time, and she had killed chickens and ducks just to fulfill her wish at the temple, so she couldn't be careless and had to be sincere.
"Children, come on, let me tell you the origin of August 1st Army Day."
Ai Cheng walked out of the house and, on a whim, waved to the children in the yard with a kind smile.
"Yeah, great, I can listen to stories!"
So, in another corner of the yard, several children sat in a circle with Ai Cheng as the center, listening attentively to Ai Cheng's story about the past.
On July 11, 1933, the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic, based on the proposal of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission on June 30, decided to designate August 1 as the founding anniversary of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
On June 15, 1949, the Chinese People's Revolutionary Military Commission issued an order to use the words "August 1" as the main symbol of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's flag and emblem.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this commemorative day was renamed the Chinese People's Liberation Army Day, which is now simply called "August 1st Army Day"!
Ai Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes became slightly red, as if he was recalling something from the past!
The children listened with great interest and suddenly understood!
"Happy holidays, Grandpa!"
Ai Yunyue seemed to have thought of something, stood up and saluted in a very standard manner.
The other children were stunned for a moment, then they all stood up and stood at attention, saluting majestically: "Grandpa, happy holidays!"
"Haha, so good!"
Ai Cheng laughed heartily and looked at them with great satisfaction: "You are so thoughtful!"
In fact, Ai Cheng used to be a soldier. The living conditions at that time were extremely difficult and harsh, but it was also a beautiful memory in his life.
Now that it’s mentioned by the children, I’m naturally touched!
On a whim, Ai Cheng began to talk incessantly about his living environment and experiences when he was young!
"So, your current living conditions are much better than ours before. Remember to cherish them, okay?"
After an unknown amount of time, Ai Cheng looked at them meaningfully and reminded them with emotion.
