Chapter 492: The Romance Unique to the Descendants of Yan and Huang

"Dad, I'm cold..."

The square in front of Chang'an Avenue was crowded with people.

Men, women, young and old, families, and many young couples,

At this time, a little boy over three years old was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and was held in his father's arms.

The boy looked listless, sleepy and cold.

"Daddy, hold me tight, pull the zipper up a little higher so I won't feel cold."

"Come, come, let me tie your scarf around you. You'll be warm."

Next to me, my mother was holding a plastic bag with a reproachful look on her face.

He looked at the dark crowd around him, then at the dark sky, and said reproachfully.

"Liu Tiejun, I really don't know what you're thinking! You dragged my mother and me out of bed at 3:00 a.m., saying you wanted to watch the flag-raising ceremony?"

"We came to Beijing to work and earn money, not to travel. It's been almost half a month, and you still haven't found a job. I still have to take care of the children, and soon we'll have trouble eating."

"The New Year is coming soon. Are you still going to get through this?"

As the woman spoke, her tone began to sound aggrieved.

The man smiled bitterly, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her with an apologetic look on his face.

"Cui Fen, don't be sad. I had an interview at a factory a few days ago, and they said they would get back to me in the next two days."

"I was thinking, isn't this a new year, a new beginning? If things get busy later, how will our family of three have the time?"

"Also, you can always say that we are here to work. We are building a beautiful new motherland."

The man's few words made the woman laugh, and she asked the man if he was tired and if he wanted her to hold the child.

The man grinned and shook his head: "Just rest, I'll hold the child. A real man, if you don't have this little strength, how can you support the family and protect you and your child?"

"Wait a little longer, it's almost dawn, it's about to start..."

The man used his body to shield his wife and children from the sea breeze, and turned his head to look at the red city wall in the distance, his eyes full of expectation and yearning.

When he was a child, he always heard people in the village say that they could do nothing in their life, but they must go to the capital and watch the flag-raising ceremony.

But because of the poor conditions at home, I have never been able to come.

Now I am married, have a child, and happen to come to Beijing to work.

No matter what, he had to make this dream come true.

......

On the other side of the square, a pair of college students were wearing down jackets.

The girl was wearing a woolen hat and holding a small red flag in her hand.

He waved it from time to time and looked very happy.

The boy looked at her excited face and asked with a smile.

"Is it cold?"

"not cold!"

"It's not cold yet, my nose is red from the cold."

The boy took out a tissue and wiped the crystals off the tip of the girl's nose.

The girl blushed and suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she looked at him.

"Actually, I've been wanting to see the flag-raising ceremony since I came to Beijing to study for so long, but I could never get up."

"Then how come you can get up today?"

"That's because... isn't it because today is the first day of the new year? There's nothing more meaningful than watching the sun rise and the first flag being raised on the first day of the new year."

The girl's expression was full of tsundereness, and the boy was amused to no end.

He took out a small red sticker from his pocket, put it on the girl's face, and then put it on his own face.

The way they both looked at each other and the red stickers on their faces, they couldn't help but smile.

Then, they both turned to look at the red city wall opposite.

But their two hands touched each other inadvertently.

......

Not far to their right, an old lady was pouring hot water from a thermos and handing it to her lover beside her.

"Old man, drink something hot. It's cold."

"Well, you drink some too."

The old man took a sip and then handed the cup back to her.

The old lady put away the thermos, held his arm, and looked at the red city wall in the distance.

"In a blink of an eye, another year has passed."

"Yeah, time flies by so fast."

"Almost all of my old comrades are gone."

The old man sighed, his eyes filled with sadness: "In previous years, it was the brothers who came together to watch the flag-raising ceremony, but now I am the only one left."

The old lady took his hand and said, "Isn't this the year I come to accompany you? We've fought together for so many years, so I'm no longer your old comrade."

The old man rubbed his eyes and smiled lovingly: "Yes, yes, you are also my old comrade, you are also my reserve army, my chief of staff, and my chief of staff..."

He said with emotion: "In fact, I am very satisfied to be able to watch my country step by step to where it is today and see life getting better day by day. I am really very satisfied."

"Yes, when we were fighting, who could have imagined that we would have such a good life as we have today?" The old lady also looked emotional, as if she was recalling the war-torn era.

......

The people in the square were crowded together like dumplings.

They came from all over the world, some were standing, some were squatting.

Those who are not afraid of the cold also use cardboard and plastic bags as cushions on the ground and sit there.

Some of them discussed the game between major powers and the international situation, some chatted about family matters, and some shared their lives and work.

They speak different dialects, but gather here with the same wish.

Braving the cold wind and the cold weather, just to see the national flag raising ceremony with my own eyes.

What they didn't know at this moment was that there was a group of people with special identities among the crowd.

Although they were also wearing cotton coats and hats, they were obviously in a different condition from the others.

"Brother Feng, why did you bring us here?" Li Jiasheng exhaled a breath of hot air and asked with his neck shrank.

"Isn't it obvious?" Qin Feng looked at him: "Watching the flag-raising ceremony?"

"So, the special gift you mentioned is watching the flag-raising ceremony?" Long Tianye also looked curious.

"What else?" Qin Feng smiled. "Today is New Year's Day, a national holiday. Can I arrange some abnormal training tasks for you?"

The group of people around them all had forced smiles on their faces, and they really thought they were out for training.

Many people even imagined that they would be taken to eat tofu pudding and then to watch the execution at the trial ground.

In this regard, Qin Feng could only say: Sorry, you are overthinking it.

Qin Feng turned his head to look at the red tower opposite and said, "Today is the first day of the new year, which means a new beginning. I hope you can all take it seriously and watch it carefully."

"This should be the first time since you became soldiers that you have blended into the crowd as ordinary people and watched the flag-raising ceremony, right?"

After hearing these words, Li Jiasheng, Long Tianye and others were all stunned.

Perhaps, a small number of them had visited the capital in their early years and watched the flag-raising ceremony.

However, after becoming a soldier, he appeared here again as an ordinary citizen.

It seems that the feeling and state of mind are very different from the original ones.

This feeling is like having a God's perspective, which is very wonderful.

......

Soon, the sky gradually brightened.

There were more people in the square, as if there wouldn't be enough room for one more person.

Suddenly, the lights on the city wall went out, followed by a series of powerful stomping sounds coming from the farthest distance.

At this moment, the square, which was noisy just now, suddenly became silent.

Everyone's eyes widened and they took out their phones excitedly.

Even Zhao Pengfei and Fan Dalei are no exception.

Because this is their first time in the capital.

It was also the first time in their lives that they watched the flag-raising ceremony.

Qin Feng stood in the front row, feeling equally excited: "Perhaps this is the romance that belongs only to us, the descendants of Yan and Huang!"

[Hi hi hi~ Didn’t you expect this? Didn’t you expect this? I knew you couldn’t guess it, lululu~]
