Double Life: My whole world is you
Chapter 189: What were you doing on the day of the Beijing Olympics?
After Mr. Ye left, Sister Fang opened the red envelope, which contained two thousand yuan. Sister Fang was very happy. She looked at the time and saw that it was not yet four o'clock. "Xiaoqiao, let's go out for dinner tonight. You can read a book first. We will get off work at five o'clock today."
"Okay!" Cheng Qiao was also very happy. It had been almost a year since she had gone out to eat. "Sister Fang, I'm going to go back and tell my mother."
"Just call her using my phone." Sister Fang handed her a pink candy bar phone.
Cheng Qiao smiled and shook her head, "My mother doesn't have a cell phone."
"Hmm?" Sister Fang was a little surprised, but she immediately returned to normal, "Then let my husband take you there on his bike, so you don't have to walk back and forth."
"Okay, thank you Sister Fang and the boss." After Cheng Qiao finished speaking, a customer came in and Cheng Qiao quickly stood up to make a copy.
After finishing her work, Cheng Qiao read a book for half an hour. Sister Fang looked at the time and called the boss. When the boss came over, it was just past ten past five. Sister Fang closed the shop and walked towards the nearby food stalls with her mother-in-law, holding the one-year-old baby Binbin. Mr. Ke took Cheng Qiao home on a motorcycle. When they arrived at Aunt Cheng's fruit stall, Cheng Zhu was there. Cheng Qiao got off the car to say hello to Cheng Zhu and then took the boss's car to the food stall.
At this time, Zhang Yandi was in Qiaozhong Middle School with his classmates. Since the number of students in the two classes increased, they agreed to study in the school in the afternoon. Some students came around 2 o'clock, and some left at 4:30. Zhang Yandi and Wang Shun lived not far from the school, so they were always the last ones to leave. Today is Friday, and they will not be able to come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because they have holidays. Zhang Yandi watched Cheng Xia talking and laughing with Wang Caiyun and Wang Liqin as they were about to leave, but he couldn't help but call her, "Cheng Xia, wait."
"Hmm? Zhang Yandi, is there anything wrong?" Cheng Xia asked, stopping at the stairs.
"Um..." Zhang Yandi tried to calm himself down, "Why hasn't Cheng Qiao come back yet? Half of the summer vacation is over."
"Oh! That's really too much." Cheng Xia was a little unhappy, "She promised me that she would only stay for a few days, but she stayed for more than a month and didn't come back."
He said nonchalantly, "I was just worried that I hadn't completed what Tiger had asked me to do. I tried my best with the other students, but she was the only one left."
"Don't worry, if she comes back I will definitely bring her to school to study." Cheng Xia said, "Today is the 8th, and we will go to school on the 20th. She will definitely come back next week."
"That's right." Zhang Yandi nodded. She was someone who cared so much about studying, so she would definitely come back before the 20th. "If she comes back next week, you can bring her here. I'll spend more time and effort to help her with her English, and I'll be able to complete Tiger's instructions."
Wang Caiyun, who was standing by, gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are really a good helper to the teacher."
"Yan Di is really a genius in our hearts," Wang Liqin also said, "He is a good student and is keen to help others."
"We are classmates, and we should help each other." Zhang Yandi responded with a smile.
"Yan Di, let's go! Let's go back and eat early and watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics!" At this time, Luo Xu and Wang Shun came down from the second floor and said to him with their arms around his shoulders.
"Yes! It's already half past five. Let's go back quickly so as not to miss the opening ceremony of the Olympics." Wang Liqin said quickly.
"Bye, see you next week." After a simple greeting, they ran off. But Cheng Xia glanced at Zhang Yandi once more at the intersection where they separated...
Cheng Qiao was about to start eating. Fang Jie's shop was not far from the park, only about a thousand meters away, and the food stall was diagonally opposite Qingshan Park. The row of eight shops were all restaurants, and the entrance of the restaurant was five or six meters away from the road. The shops in this row were all covered with a uniform red awning. It was especially refreshing to eat lobster in the lake breeze in the summer. Fang Jie found a food stall with a few people and sat down at a table. Four adults sat on each side, and Fang Jie's mother-in-law held her son.
Fang ordered five dishes and one soup, all of which were solid dishes: a grilled fish, a garlic shrimp, a clams, a stir-fried squid, a tiger skin chicken feet, and a three-fresh soup. The boss brought two bottles of beer, and Fang brought a large orange juice for the three of them. Fang said, "We are happy today, so we will eat and drink well. We will eat the dishes instead of the rice."
This was her first time eating out after a year of rebirth. Although the food at home was not bad, the food outside was more delicious than the food at home. Cheng Qiao had three chicken feet, eight crayfish, a large piece of grilled fish, and drank a glass of orange juice. When Fang Jie was about to pour her a second glass of orange juice, her cell phone rang. Cheng Qiao took the orange juice from her hand and poured a glass for her mother-in-law, her, and herself. At this time, Fang Jie also hung up the phone. She excitedly said to everyone, "Mr. Ye introduced another friend's bid for us. Mr. Qin will take the train to another city at 9 o'clock tomorrow. He will meet us at the store at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Congratulations, Sister Fang." Cheng Qiao happily clinked her glasses with hers. In her heart, Sister Fang was like a sister to her. She felt happy when she was happy. "Sister Fang, I'll come over early tomorrow, too."
"Thank you for your help in taking over this order." Sister Fang raised her glass, "Xiaoqiao, I really appreciate your help this summer. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Sister Fang, I'm glad to help you. I believe you will do better and better." Cheng Qiao raised the glass in his hand and clinked it with hers.
……
When they finished eating, it was already 7:30. The boss rode his motorcycle to take her to the community. She thanked him and hurried home. At this time, Cheng's mother was washing dishes and Cheng Zhu was taking a shower. Cheng Qiao just got home and Cheng Zhu ran out after taking a shower. "Sister, you're back just in time. Take a shower and go to my aunt's house with me to watch the Olympics."
"Okay." Cheng Qiao picked up her clothes, took a quick shower, and went to her aunt's house with Cheng Zhu. At this time, only Weiwei and her uncle were at her aunt's house. The two of them had dinner in the air-conditioned room. At this time, only the main room of her aunt's house had air conditioning. There was a TV on the table at the entrance. The room was not big. There was only room for walking after adding a 1.8-meter bed and a cabinet. At this time, her uncle and Weiwei were sitting on the bed staring at the TV. Seeing Cheng Qiao and Cheng Zhu coming over, Weiwei stood up to greet them. Cheng Qiao handed her two summer homework books. Weiwei looked through the two homework books and gave her a thumbs up, "You are worthy of being my Qiaoqiao."
On the evening of August 2008, 8, people all over the country were watching TV waiting for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.
As the lights dimmed, the four sat in a row beside the bed, staring at the TV without blinking. At 7:58 p.m., a flickering flame suddenly shone a brilliant halo in the sky, successfully activating the ancient and divine sundial. As the sundial pointer returned to its position, the sundial turned into a ball of holy fire that shot directly to the ground, igniting 2008 drums composed of 2008 soldiers. Then thousands of drums rang together, and the stars of 2008 uniformly turned into a huge countdown block. The host's voice sounded, "Stirring the vast territory of thousands of ancient countries, stirring the surging blood of the Chinese nation, and jointly welcoming the Olympic time that belongs to China, the glorious arrival." With tens of thousands of spectators shouting the countdown, the Chinese Olympic chapter officially kicked off, and the four people shouted along with the numbers on TV, "10, 9, 8...1"
The host's voice sounded again, "Tonight the stars are shining brightly. China in August is filled with fiery enthusiasm. We sincerely invite guests from all directions and friends from all over the world."
When the 2008 musicians beat the drums and sang in unison, "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar", the three of them sang along. The host's voice sounded, "Welcome all friends who love friendship and peace to Beijing and China, and welcome all friends who love the Olympic movement to the Olympic family."
Then, 29 Olympic footprints consisting of flames moved quickly along the central axis of Beijing from Yongdingmen, Tiananmen, the Forbidden City and Drum Tower to the sky above the Bird's Nest. These footprints symbolized that China is hosting the th Olympic Games.
The host's voice sounded, "The five Olympic rings made up of stars are emitting brilliant light. The beautiful flying goddesses hold up the five shining rings in the night sky of Beijing. This brilliant five rings will make us remember that the starry sky of Beijing finally has the mark of the five Olympic rings. It will also make the whole world remember that the memory of the Olympics has now become a Chinese legend."
Then a giant scroll was slowly unfolded, and the host introduced, "We will see a Chinese scroll that transcends time and space and has beautiful artistic conception. It tells a broad, profound, and long-lasting Chinese story. Friends from all over the world will appreciate the elegant oriental charm, understand the time-honored Chinese culture, and feel the modern charm of China."
As 3,000 disciples of Confucius held bamboo tubes and recited the Analects to the sound of music, recreating the peaceful and prosperous times of the country of etiquette, one of the ten great inventions of China, movable type printing, began to appear in the center of the stage. The host's voice sounded, "At this moment, a word "harmony" appeared on the huge movable type printing plate. This word "harmony" has evolved and changed over the past thousand years, demonstrating the Chinese nation's concept of harmony, which has a long history and excellent traditions."
The Tai Chi Yuan Formation formed by 2008 Tai Chi practitioners once again told the world what the unity of man and nature means. When astronauts fly over the Bird's Nest, it means that the exploration of the stars and the sea will never stop. The slowly rising three-dimensional earth symbolizes the same world and the same dream, which is also China's hope for world peace. With the epitome of China's 5000 years of civilization, rituals, music, drama, the Silk Road, puppets, flying celestial beings, etc. were all displayed one by one, and the entire Olympic Games opening ceremony also ushered in a real climax.
First, China's first Olympic gold medalist Xu Haifeng ran into the Bird's Nest holding the torch, and then passed the Olympic flame to China's first diving queen Gao Min, who then passed it to the third runner-up, gymnastics champion Li Xiaoshuang, who then passed it to the fourth runner-up, Chinese weightlifting king Zhan Xugang. The fifth runner-up was China's badminton leader Zhang Jun, and the sixth runner-up was China's first taekwondo gold medalist in Olympic history Zhang Zhong. After Zhang Zhong passed the Olympic flame to Sun Jinfang, the spiritual founder of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the torch relay finally came to the last runner-up.
When gymnastics prince Li Ning held the Olympic flame high, soared into the sky from the beacon tower on the Great Wall, and flew around the Bird's Nest on the auspicious clouds, a classic Olympic picture slowly unfolded with his footsteps. At this moment, the land of China, which had experienced a century of vicissitudes, finally ushered in the raging fire of great rejuvenation. Suddenly, a huge auspicious cloud torch was lit, and the "Bird's Nest" under the night sky was as bright as day. The gorgeous fireworks cut through the silent night and formed a seven-color rainbow in the sky.
At that moment, the Chinese civilization, which has lasted for more than 5000 years, embraced the world passionately. That night, China not only shocked the world in four hours, but also made history remember the Beijing Olympics. It also left a golden memory in the minds of every Chinese. We will never forget that summer, which brought us miracles and pride. That year, Cheng Qiao was 15 years old, Weiwei was 14 years old, and Cheng Zhu was 12 years old. How old were you? What were you doing that day?
