Since 1983

September 30, night.

It began to rain in the capital, lingering like silk, and it has not stopped since nightfall. The coolness of autumn seemed to be brought out by the rain, the lights on the street were flickering, and the humid air came in, making it a bit clammy.

Xiao Xu put on a coat, touched his four-month-old stomach, and felt hungry again.

She went to the hospital for an examination in the afternoon. She is in good health and everything is normal. In the end, I went to the village to play in the village, and when it was raining, I clamored to go to Xiangshan again. I just came back from Xiangshan.

"hungry?"

"Um."

"Cushion first."

Xu Fei got out of the car and ran to the back seat, carried a box back, saw the green light, and started slowly following the traffic flow.

Xiao Xu opened it, and inside were southern snacks, pine nuts, dates, and sesame cakes.

It's sweet and sweet, it's best to warm it up before eating, the stuffing with jujube paste, lard, and pine nuts will be very delicious. Especially the lard will melt, and the skin will ooze out when bitten.

It can't be hot now, and the food she eats is delicious, a few bites, the calories can go to heaven.

"You can eat, don't nag when you are fat."

"Well……"

Xiao Xu struggled for a moment, put the second one back into the box, and looked out the window.

There are so many cars today that all the lanes are full. The taillights are connected into one piece, which seems to have turned into red silk threads in the rain, which is hazy.

"Why so many cars?"

"Chang'an Avenue is under martial law, so we all take a detour."

"Is martial law at this point?"

"It was a military parade, what a joke."

"I wonder if it will be sunny tomorrow?"

"For such a big event like ours, God has always been beautiful."

Xu Fei followed the traffic for a while, turned faster at the intersection, and arrived home in a while. The two went upstairs, and Zhang Li was watching TV alone. There was a bowl on the coffee table with some noodle soup left.

"Oh, look at this poor thing."

Xiao Xu rushed over and raised his face: "We ate black fish, which was caught in the wild. It's delicious. Let me smell it."

"Oh, oh, it's amazing! Yesterday I went to the first feast of the founding of the country. There was a dish of braised carp that was delicious, as well as crystal meat, abalone four treasures, red grilled autumn duck, braised lion head..."

Yesterday, a reception for compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese was held in the Great Hall. The leaders attended and prepared the menu for the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Why are you two acting weird recently? It wasn't like this before."

"She has a strange mood, so I have no choice but to accompany her."

Zhang Li is a bit jealous recently, Xiao Xu knows she is jealous, Zhang Li knows she knows he is jealous, Xiao Xu knows she knows he knows she is jealous, so he wants to make her more jealous.

Xu Fei had no choice but to sit in the middle and asked, "Are there any activities over there?"

"I went to visit everywhere today. I'm an outsider, so just visit."

"What time do you leave tomorrow?"

"It's about the same as you."

"Oh, by the way, the clothes just arrived today."

Teacher Xu dug out two boxes, clothes made to order by Yi Lian. One piece is loose and not bulky, with small flowers embroidered on a light-colored background, with a simple and elegant style.

One piece is generous and simple, but it is matched with a cloud shoulder, which neutralizes the graceful style.

The two tried it on, and Xiao Xu spun around and said with satisfaction: "This one is good, no matter how big the belly is, it doesn't look ugly."

"Yes, you can mass-produce it after wearing it."

"We're not models."

"You were my models back then."

The two remembered that when Elaine opened her first store in Xidan, her photo was still displayed in the window.

That night, we slept together after a long absence.

Nothing to say all night.

But with things in mind, sleep is not at ease.

Xu Fei woke up once at two o'clock in the morning, and again at four o'clock in the morning, and simply got up. The two of them couldn't sleep either, so they made three cups of strong coffee, watching the patter outside, they couldn't help worrying.

It's live on TV.

Earlier, more than 10,000 parade officers and soldiers had entered the city in the rain and lined up at the military parade point on East Chang'an Avenue. Photographed by the camera, the night is hazy and the autumn rain is lingering, and there are thousands of cars and cars, and there is no sound.

The host kept talking: "According to the forecast of the Meteorological Observatory, the weather will gradually improve after five o'clock, and we have prepared emergency measures. So don't worry everyone, it will be a good day..."

Soon after five o'clock, sure enough, the rain was light and gradually stopped. The dark clouds over Tiananmen Square dissipated and it became clearer and clearer.

"Almost, let's go."

Teacher Xu and Xiao Xu drove together, and Zhang Li drove to Chang'an Street separately.

The security has already been heavily guarded, the guns are loaded with live ammunition, and there are countless plainclothes wandering around. After checking the pass, I abandoned the car and walked to the viewing platform on the east side of the Tiananmen Gate.

Find the location, Xu Feifang looks at:

With Chang'an Street as the boundary, the north is the city tower, and the viewing platforms on both sides are far away from Zhang Li.

To the south is a military band in formation, surrounded by a flagpole, and behind it is a group of students, holding flowers and posing in Chinese characters of "National Day".

A passage was left among the students, covered with a red carpet, leading directly to the Monument to the People's Heroes, under which stood a large photo of Sun Yat-sen.

There are also a number of cameras placed at various points.

Xu Fei took a telescope and looked at the city tower again. The big leaders hadn't appeared yet, but there was already a row of people standing there.

The guests who have attended the ceremony for 50 years, the mainland entrepreneurs are the first batch of rich people in the reform and opening up, or the heads of large state-owned enterprises, such as Liu Yonghao and Cao Heping.

The information is underdeveloped, and it is far less concerned than the later generations of Rebs, Lao Ma and Xiao Ma.

Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese are more like stars, Huo Yingdong, Li Cucumber, Shaw, etc. have all come.

The apparent wealth of Times Media is not as good as that of other entrepreneurs, but it has great public influence and involves such things as yishi form. Teacher Xu is still in the heart of the emperor, and it is easy to get two places.

And they stood at the viewing stand, young people are jealous.

"Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I want to drink water."

"Drink less, it will be troublesome to go to the toilet."

Xu Fei handed things over like a doraemon, Xiao Xu took two sips of mineral water and ate a piece of chocolate, and his condition improved a lot. She rubbed her belly and said suddenly, "Hey, do you think this counts as prenatal education?"

"What prenatal education?"

"Look at the military parade."

"..."

He scratched his head, the prenatal education listens to music and reads, our children watch the military parade? ? ?

After calm and anxious waiting, it finally arrived at 9 o'clock.

After the rain in the capital, the sky was clear and the blue sky was as clear as washing. Tiananmen Square was surrounded by flowers and colorful flags. 500,000 soldiers and masses were ready.

The whole city seemed to freeze, losing all normal operation, only the sound of the clock turning and the huge and amazing team at the parade point remained.

As time went by, photojournalists were on the lookout. There was movement on Chang'an Avenue, the conductor of the military band waved his hands, and a familiar "Welcome March" sounded.

There must be commentary on TV, but not at the scene, but everyone knows that it has started.

Following the announcement the celebration begins.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Amid the 50-gun salute, the national flag guard team composed of 200 officers and soldiers started from the monument and marched towards the flagpole at the north end.

"All stand! Raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!"

The military band of more than 1,000 people played the most familiar melody, and a soldier stood under the flagpole, waving his arms and showing off.

The red flag was raised and fluttered in the wind.

…………

This is the 12th National Day military parade since the founding of New China.

The echo of the salute was still stirring over the square. A car with a red flag passed through the city tower, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and drove up to Chang'an Avenue. Formed parade team.

In addition, there are 10 aerial echelons.

To be honest, non-military fans watched the military parade, but they couldn’t see the truth. From the beginning to the end, they felt that they didn’t read much:

"Qi! Fuck, it's so frighteningly neat!"

At about 10:36, the parade square appeared. With Jinshui Bridge as the center, extending 90 meters from east to west, this area is called the salute area.

The guard of honor of the three armed forces was at the head, and Xu Fei watched a group of "Ctrl+C"+"Ctrl+V" approaching from a distance.

The three soldiers were in front, holding the August 1st Army flag, and behind them were pine green, sky blue, and navy white. The moment he stepped into the salute area, the password sounded: "Look to the right!"

The soldiers who were walking in unison turned into a goose step, and their military boots stepped on the ground, becoming stronger and stronger. This sound shook Chang'an Avenue, bang bang bang!

bang bang bang!

Majestic, passionate, mighty, not even overwhelmed by military music.

"It's so neat!"

Teacher Xu sighed like a layman.

Xiao Xu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "I wanted to rest, but now that it looks right, I should feel this kind of temperament, it's not like you!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"snort!"

Followed by the armed police, the military academy, and the phalanx of various troops, the steps started and fell, the same orderly, and the same footsteps.

Some are school children, some are heroic companies fighting against floods, and some numbers have been passed down from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Dadu River, Lanzhou, and Huaihai, and they are still powerful and majestic!

Many people watched with binoculars, amazed again and again, waving small red flags in their hands.

"Wow!"

The cheers suddenly rose, but it was the female soldier who came over. I used to wear long clothes and trousers, but now I have changed into a dark blue tube skirt, high-waisted leather boots, and a red-rimmed hat with a big brim. She is in full bloom of youth.

The one at the beginning is particularly eye-catching, a pair of twin sisters, Zhang Weiwei and Zhang Lili.

"These two are from our hometown." Xu Fei understood again.

"A person from Ancheng?"

"Um."

"Wow!"

Xiao Xu liked it even more, and said, "I want to make friends with them!"

The pair of sisters became popular for a while, and even appeared in the 2000 Spring Festival Gala, performing the song and dance "Sisters in the Army". The international chapter and Zhao Feite also attended this Spring Festival Gala.

17 foot teams passed quickly, followed by chariots.

The first to drive over was the Type 99 new main battle tank, with a more intense painting style. The group of tanks came from a distance, with white smoke and roaring sounds, as if gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

Immediately, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, anti-tank missiles... Although Mr. Xu doesn't understand, he is a man! Naturally like this kind of wild and rough big guy.

The sound of crawlers and the roar of large trucks roared all the way, rumbling past Chang'an Avenue one by one.

In the military parade in 2019, the trump card was Dongfeng Express, and this time it is the same, it will always be a strategic missile. Two conventional surface-to-surface missile formations, a medium-range ground-to-surface nuclear missile formation, and a long-range ground-to-surface nuclear missile formation finally appeared.

The military parade was actually very fast. In less than 40 minutes, all the formations were finished, and the plane flew over Tiananmen Square...

Xiao Xu felt a little tired with his stomach full, and was too embarrassed to act like a spoiled child due to the crowd. Teacher Xu supported her with one hand while watching the next mass parade.

To be honest, the current style of painting is still very old-fashioned, the kind of sports meeting with big signs and slogans. Regardless of the clothing, equipment, form arrangement, or the spirit of the personnel, it is not as good as the latter.

In 2019, although the floats in some provinces were a bit stretched, the appearance of the courier boy riding a small electric motorcycle was really a highlight.

Jubilant, jubilant, open, confident, really celebratory.

But now is a process that must be experienced. Without hardships and hardships, humiliation and dormancy, and the dedication and sacrifice of countless ancestors, there will be no later days.

"..."

Teacher Xu looked at the picture in front of him and thought a lot in his mind.

The last one is a balloon formation of more than 6,000 people, surrounded by a space shuttle float, which means flying into space and into the future.

The music changed, "Singing the Motherland".

Countless children released the balloons and ran to the tower with cheers, and a sea of ​​people was jubilant in an instant. More than 50,000 colorful balloons rose to the sky, seeming to be drawn into a line and become a river going up.

This river does not forget the history, looks forward to the future, keeps flying, keeps flying.

A grand ceremony came to an end, and the students holding flowers finally sang to the music:

"Singing about our dear motherland, we will be prosperous and strong from now on. Singing about our dear motherland, we will be prosperous and strong from now on..."

(besides……)
