Liu Yafang's butt only touched one side of the back seat, her hands resting between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and she said politely:
"Xiao Chu, you've worked hard. You said you got up early to watch the flag-raising ceremony for us."
Chu Yifeng tried his best to keep the car steady while accelerating. He just saw his future mother-in-law's eyes change as she looked at his car as she walked out of the door.
I guess, after being carsick and vomiting yesterday, my calves start to tremble when I see a car today.
"Sorry, Auntie, to disturb your rest."
Liu Yafang quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no. I usually get up at this time, so I'd be awake long ago."
Bi Tiegang nodded in testimony:
"Yes, on weekdays at this time we have to carry hoes and go to the fields."
Liu Yafang almost made a "tsk" sound in disgust.
You said we were talking about raising the national flag, so why are you talking about carrying hoes and working in the fields? Can a child understand? Where have I been to your land? Can't you just not bring that up?
Liu Yafang's eyes wrinkled with smile, and she looked lovingly at Chu Yifeng, who was wearing a military uniform.
Chu Yifeng operated the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at the rearview mirror on Bi Tiegang's side. Bi Tiegang had the illusion that Xiao Chu was observing him, and his back straightened even more.
Chu Yifeng explained:
"Uncle, aunt, we have to go early. There's no other way.
This flag-raising ceremony is not very accurate.
It is determined by the time of sunrise and sunset. The specific time is calculated by the observatory.
We will be there in a while, and I will point it out to you. Generally, when the upper edge of the sun is level with the horizon of Tiananmen Square that we can see with our naked eyes, that is the flag-raising time.
There were a lot of people there, and many people got up early to see it. I'm afraid you'd regret not watching the flag-raising ceremony when you come to Kyoto.
Yueyue and Dacheng are both still not well, and my uncle is also very busy. Oh, right, let's go to the hospital to pick up Goudan first."
This explanation actually doesn't need to be explained. Just like what Liu Yafang said, even Bi Tiegang thought so. Liu Yafang sighed:
"Ah, what's there to regret? I'm very happy that you have this intention."
"Yes, Xiao Chu, you should call me auntie, not auntie, you are an outsider."
Bi Tiegang's words were like adding gasoline to Chu Yifeng's heart, which really boosted his morale.
He took something out of the hand under his arm and called out very naturally and crisply, "Auntie, here!" He turned his arm and stuffed the thing into Liu Yafang's hand.
"Oh, child, I don't eat candy."
Chu Yifeng looked at Liu Yafang in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Auntie, some plum candy will help relieve motion sickness."
This candy tastes sour and sweet. Bi Tiegang didn't eat it, but he felt sour and sweet in his heart.
The wrinkles at the corners of Liu Yafang's eyes have never been smoothed out, and she always has a smile on her face.
…
In the hospital, Bi Tielin finished collecting Bi Cheng's urine and just opened the door with the urinal when Chu Yifeng, dressed in military uniform, appeared outside.
It was so sudden that Bi Tielin was startled. Early in the morning, he peeked through the corridor window and asked, "Huh? What time are you coming?"
"Uncle, Uncle Bi and Aunt are in my car. I'm taking them out for a walk and coming to pick up Bi Sheng. Oh, by the way, you guys can have your breakfast, we'll eat outside. I guess we'll be back late, so don't worry."
These words were so clear, but they left Bi Tielin stunned.
The sound of the subwoofer was so recognizable that he couldn't even control the volume when speaking, as if the ward was part of his Chu family's property.
Bi Yue rubbed her eyes and just sat up when she felt a cold wind. She looked up at Chu Yifeng in a daze.
I owe you so much, so much! Chu Yifeng didn't care that Bi Tielin and Bi Cheng were still staring at him stupidly. He scratched Bi Yue's nose directly, and his dimples were clearly visible when he smiled:
"Stupid?"
"Well. Why are you here at this time?" Bi Yue looked at the window with a confused expression.
Chu Yifeng faced the little body that moved slightly under the quilt and slapped it on the butt. He did not answer Bi Yue, but said to Bi Sheng who was peeking out from under the quilt with a frown:
"Get up. Do you want to watch the flag-raising ceremony? Hurry up, I'll give you one minute!"
Bi Sheng still looked like he was still half asleep, his eyes fixed on Chu Yifeng who was wearing a military cap. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, he jumped off the bed very quickly.
Bi Tielin held the urinal and used his breath to remind Bi Sheng: "Slow down, you're so impatient!"
Bi Yue nodded apologetically to Uncle Li, the patient in the bed next to her. She woke him up so early in the morning, which meant she was completely awake. She looked up and asked Chu Yifeng:
"It's quite cold, watching the flag-raising ceremony? What's so interesting about three people marching in formation? Are my parents going too?"
It was the 1980s, and there were only three people raising the flag. There was no "Tiananmen National Flag Guard" yet. That was in the 1990s. So Bi Yue was wondering:
If we had seen a guard team of 36 soldiers back then, it would have been so impressive. But what’s the point of seeing it now?
Bi Yue thought these people were there to watch the fun. She was born in Kyoto but didn't know how to appreciate it. She forgot that when Chinese people, especially those from other places, come to Kyoto to watch the flag-raising ceremony, they don't watch the fun, but the spontaneous sense of pride and emotion.
Bi Sheng held up his pants, stepped on his cotton shoes, and said anxiously: "Go!"
Bi Yue quickly surrendered and said softly, "Well, go go."
In just a few words, Chu Yifeng glanced at Bi Sheng, who was dressed neatly, and quickly bent down to whisper in Bi Yue's ear:
"Look at you, little girl? Wait until I come back, and I'll have something to say to you."
After saying that, he turned around, looking extremely handsome, with his back straight, and strode out of the ward first, followed by a little tail Bi Sheng.
