Fairy, Stop Making Trouble

4 o'clock in the morning.

Yueling, wake up. Jiang Qiao patted Fairy Bai on the cheek lightly.

What's wrong?

Fairy Bai opened her eyes and took the hands off her face.

I'll take you to a fun place. He said mysteriously.

Fairy Bai turned her head to look out the window, but the sky was still pitch black: Are you sure it's now?

Yes, yes, get up and change quickly, if you delay any longer, you might miss it.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Fairy Bai nodded and put on her pants in front of him.

If you don't sleep at night, you have to take her to a place. Are you going to give her a surprise like you proposed to her last time?

Thinking wildly in his mind, he went into the bathroom to wash up, and then the two of them left the hotel holding hands. It was still a bit chilly in the early morning of the imperial capital in April, but both of them were not ordinary people, and they didn't feel cold even in unlined clothes.

On the wide avenue, many shops are lit all night long, and the street is not deserted. Whether it is a car or a person, they all exude the vitality that belongs to the imperial capital.

Jiang Qiao hailed a taxi by the side of the road, and as soon as he got in the car, he said, Master, Tiananmen Square, I'm in a hurry.

Watch the flag raising?

Jiang Qiao looked at Fairy Bai, and originally wanted to hide it from her, but the taxi driver revealed his purpose when he opened his mouth, but it seems that he can't control that much now.

Well, it's not too late to go now, is it?

The taxi driver looked at the time and said, Now, I can see it, but the location may not be very good.

He has been driving a taxi for more than ten years, and he can tell at a glance that the man and woman in front of him are probably not locals, otherwise he would not ask such a question.

many people?

Well, there are huge crowds of people every day. Many people have been squatting since yesterday. Before picking you up, I have sent several groups of people there.

Jiang Qiao's answer does not mean that, after all, it is the most solemn and highest-standard flag-raising ceremony of the motherland. Every day, countless people like him rush from all over the country just to listen to the national anthem and watch the national flag rising. It was worth it to suffer too much before.

If you want to see the flag-raising ceremony, you have to go through the security check for a while. After the square is officially opened to the public, don't worry about anything, just run forward. Otherwise, you may not be able to see the flag-raising ceremony, but you can only see the backs of the heads of the people in front.

While driving steadily, the taxi driver imparted his experience as a local over the years.

Yeah, I see.

After about 20 minutes, the taxi stopped at the passageway closest to the flag-raising platform. Jiang Qiao took a casual look and saw that there was a long queue there.

From this point of view, the taxi driver's words were true, and there were even more people than he had imagined.

The two passed through the security check and lined up with other people. Occasionally, they could see a group of well-dressed soldiers walking past them with vigorous steps. When they saw this scene, they didn't feel scared, but only felt relieved.

There is still more than an hour before the flag-raising ceremony. Some people in the queue are drowsy, some are chattering, most of them are playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, and the sky is getting brighter a little while countless people are waiting.

Jiang Qiao stared at the Tiananmen Gate tower in the distance and fell into deep thought. This was his first visit to the imperial capital. The majestic Tiananmen Square always had an inexplicable plot for Chinese people.

This is Tiananmen.

Cookie dog, are you in a daze?

No, I was just thinking about something. He shook his head and asked, Do you know where this is?

Tiananmen, you... No, it's a symbol of our country. Fairy Bai shook her phone. Just now in the car, when this guy was chatting with the driver, she secretly googled a lot.

Yes, the symbol of the country. For ordinary people, this is a place of pilgrimage, but we... Jiang Qiao pointed to all the people in line and said, They are all pilgrims.

The sky gradually brightened, and slowly the soldiers on duty opposite could be seen standing like sculptures.

As time went by, more and more people gathered around, and the channel was opened 40 minutes before the flag was raised, and the crowd in line suddenly rushed inside.

Jiang Qiao always remembered the taxi driver's words, and rushed forward with the crowd. The two of them were lucky enough to rush to the front few rows with their physique far beyond ordinary people, while behind them were all black heads.

Only then did Fairy Bai agree with what Jiang Qiao said just now. They are all here on a pilgrimage, otherwise they would not have such enthusiasm.

Among the crowded crowd, Jiang Qiao held Fairy Bai well in his arms, and waited until dawn when a guard of honor came out solemnly from the central doorway. Everyone in this scene showed excitement in their eyes.

Then the national anthem was played, and the national flag was raised. Without any patriotic education at all, the love and respect for the motherland and the nation of countless people present had already plummeted, and tears filled their eyes unconsciously.

I can feel the boundless love for this country in your hearts. Fairy Bai whispered.

Another wish was fulfilled, Jiang Qiao sighed quietly: I don't know how many revolutionary ancestors sacrificed for this flag to be erected in the world.

Well... I have read that period of history carefully. She said softly, Although I can't empathize with you, I admire this kind of sincere love.

Jiang Qiao smiled slightly and looked at Hongqi with tears in his eyes: I will not regret going to China in this life, and I will be a flower grower in my next life.

Fairy Bai sighed unceasingly. Such deep patriotism is hardly seen in Ziwei Star, but in this country, almost everyone is like this. If this strong belief can be concentrated on one person, it may be soaring in daylight.

If there is a chance, I would also like to show you the grandest military parade. He said suddenly.

These are the videos you showed me online to scare me in the first place?

Yes and not all.

Jiang Qiaodao: The current prosperity of the country is largely due to those big logs.

I know, you let me look at history, take me to the Great Wall, watch the flag raising, don't you just want me to have a sense of belonging to this era?

No, it's a sense of belonging to this country.

Jiang Qiao squeezed her hand and said softly, Yueling, you are not just a passerby wandering in time and space, you are my belonging if you stay here.

She looked down at Jiang Qiao holding her hand in his palm, and at the red flag waving in the wind in front of her, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of belonging in her heart.

Caigou, show me some other things. I want to know more... about this country.
