Chapter 1120 Climb the Tiananmen Gate Tower and see the bright spots in the world!
"Nannan, go give Xiaolei and his mother a bowl of steamed pork with rice flour!"
"okay!"
Early in the morning, Li Xiangnan was called to bring food to Lei Jin and his mother. When he took the bowl and smelled it, his nose was filled with the soft and delicious aroma of meat, which was so tempting that he was so greedy that he even waited until he walked out of the house with the bowl in his hand.
Zhu Qiuju looked at her son and sneered, "Go quickly, and eat as much as you can when you come back!"
"Okay!" Li Xiangnan agreed readily and quickly went to the next yard.
Lei Jin was standing at the door of his house, stirring porridge in the iron pot on the stove with a spoon. As soon as Li Xiangnan entered the yard, he sniffed against the wind and his eyes lit up.
"Brother Lei, look at your keen nose!" Li Xiangnan smiled and put a bowl of steamed pork with rice flour on the windowsill. "My mom just steamed it this morning. Give some to Auntie to try!"
"Thank you!" Lei Jin nodded gratefully. Seeing Li Xiangnan tiptoeing towards Hao Jian's door, he shook his head and said, "I heard about the Hao family's affairs. When I went to the toilet outside this morning, the neighbors were talking about what happened between Grandpa Hao and Grandma Zeng! Squad Leader Hao hasn't come back yet!"
"Why haven't you replied yet? How many days have you not replied?" Li Xiangnan was a little surprised.
He originally wanted to talk to Hao Jian about Uncle Hao's situation earlier and let him prepare! But Hao Jian didn't come home at all!
"What does he do? Why is he so busy?" Li Xiangnan asked again.
Lei Jin shook his head, glanced at him, and said nothing.
It was only then that Li Xiangnan realized that after Hao Jian was demobilized, he only said that he was in a confidential unit and never told them where he worked.
"He didn't tell us where he works, nor did he leave us his phone number. It's not easy to find him!" Lei Jin obviously knew what Li Xiangnan was thinking.
"Hey, let's talk about it later!" Li Xiangnan sighed and reminded: "Brother Lei, you stay in this yard, pay attention to any movement at night! No matter if it's Squad Leader Hao or Uncle Hao!"
"I know!"
When I got home, Ruobai had already finished his meal. He said hello and went to work.
Li Xiangnan spent some time at home with his grandfather and parents in the morning, went to a massage parlor in the afternoon, visited his senior brother Zhang Jingyang and Miao Xiaonian, and then went to the construction site until the evening before going home.
Ruobai came back in the evening and asked about Mu Lianqiao's situation. He learned that Gao Shi was lobbying Zhang Tiancheng in the bureau, apparently wanting to plead for Mu Lianqiao. Li Xiangnan guessed that after discovering that Mu Lianqiao was arrested, the Mu family must have started to take action.
Although no clues to other events have been found out yet, it is a foregone conclusion that Mu Lianqiao framed Duan Sijiu. The evidence of the case is being compiled and will be transferred to the court in the next two days. Zhang Tiancheng went to the court in person and demanded that Mu Lianqiao be tried as soon as possible.
Li Xiangnan knew that Director Zhang was afraid that the situation would worsen if things got too long, so he would lock that guy up and slowly wear him down to death.
Guo Qian was also very smart. He went to find Cheng Sixi and told him about Mu Lianqiao's arrest. The people in Qincheng Prison said that Cheng Sixi had not slept all night.
It is estimated that Cheng Sixi will have a breakthrough in the near future, and it is possible that he will directly give Mu Lianqiao away!
Even though it was a day off, the news was very exciting.
Silent all night.
The next morning at five o'clock, Li Xiangnan was called up.
I rubbed my eyes and went out to wash up, and found that my grandfather Li Dequan was already dressed neatly and sitting on a chair under the eaves.
"Nannan, wash up quickly, and eat some steamed buns when you're done!" Zhu Qiuju gave this instruction before going out, and quickly returned to the house to cook.
She quickly brushed her teeth and had her meal with her grandfather before helping him walk out of the yard in the morning light.
At this time, Li Xiangnan was still a little curious. When he walked out of the screen wall, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, where are we going?"
"Let's go over there and take a look!" Li Dequan stretched out his crutch and pointed in a certain direction of the city.
Li Xiangnan looked up, but didn't see any building outlines. Instead, he saw a car parked at the entrance of the alley. His eyes narrowed and his steps quickened. He didn't forget to greet him, "Grandpa Song!"
"Xiao Li, it's been a while since we last met!" Song Qiankun stood in front of the car and nodded with a smile.
Song Yi had already stepped forward to greet him, "Grandpa Li, are you feeling well? The weather is a bit cold, you should wear more clothes!"
"It's okay, I'm in good health! Thank you, Xiao Song, for your concern!" Li Dequan also smiled.
When he reached the car, Song Qiankun stretched out his hand and shouted, "Please!"
"Thank you!" Li Dequan got into the car immediately.
Li Xiangnan tactfully stopped and then saw Song Qiankun also got into the back seat. He glanced at Song Yi.
"Uncle Jin, please slow down!" Song Yi smiled slightly, then bent down and waved to the driver Song Jin.
"Don't worry, Miss!" Song Jin nodded slightly, then shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator and left.
"Let's get in this car!" Song Yi then pointed to the car behind where Song Zimo was sticking his head out.
Li Xiangnan nodded and got in the car. When Song Yi followed him into the back seat, he immediately asked, "Where are we going?"
"Grandpa Li didn't tell you?" Song Yi was a little surprised.
"Grandpa didn't say anything, he just asked me to make time to accompany him today!" Li Xiangnan shrugged.
“Go to Tiananmen Square!”
When Song Yi's gentle voice came, Li Xiangnan was shocked.
That's where we were going!
This place will always be sacred and solemn to Li Xiangnan, and will always occupy an extremely important place in his heart.
So even though he was in Yanjing, he had wanted to visit the place countless times, but so far, he had only been there once.
That was the time when Ruobai's grandmother came and scattered grandpa Bai Zhenguo's ashes in front of the memorial hall.
Li Xiangnan has always had a special and unique respect for Tiananmen Square and the special buildings around it. It is the love and admiration in the bones of the Chinese people, and it exists above all other emotions.
And when he heard the answer from Song Yi, he also understood why his grandfather had to come to Tiananmen Square on National Day!
In the hearts of their older generation, it is an even more special place.
Not to mention that my grandfather Li Dequan was one of the people who participated in the War of Resistance against Japan and survived.
Thirty minutes later, the vehicle drove into Tiananmen Square and stopped in a special area in front of the city gate tower.
After getting off the car, Li Xiangnan found that his grandfather looked at him and nodded, then he walked towards the city wall with the old man of the Song family.
He and Song Yi stood there, waiting quietly in front of the building with the accompanying personnel of all the vehicles.
The Tiananmen Gate Tower was only opened to the public 88 years later. Li Xiangnan knew that he would not be able to go up there today.
Turning around and looking around, he soon saw a lot of familiar faces.
Yu Dongting, Lin Weimin, Yan Song, Liu Zhiyuan and so on.
When he looked up at the city wall again, Li Xiangnan was shocked again.
He saw Grandpa Yu Yu Haoran, Grandpa Song Song Qiankun, Grandpa Qin Qin Zongheng, and his grandfather Li Dequan, already appeared on the city wall. They and four or five other strangers were walking in front of a dozen or so people, tightly surrounding an energetic old man who walked out of the building, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.
Tap tap, tap tap!
Suddenly, the dull and rhythmic sound of marching footsteps rang out.
Li Xiangnan's scalp suddenly went numb. He looked towards the bank of the Jinshui Bridge. There, a formation of soldiers were marching with resounding steps, carrying the bright five-star red flag towards the flagpole in the square. The frost on the bluestone slabs shattered with the sound of military boots tapping on them.
His eyes were red and instantly moist.
His gaze passed through the bright red and headed towards the city wall.
At this time, the first ray of dawn had already pierced through the morning mist on Chang'an Avenue, and the Tiananmen Gate Tower seemed to be gently caressed by an invisible hand and awakened.
The initial light leaked through the eaves of the east corner building, coating the gilded top with a layer of flowing gold, and the cut edges of the glazed tiles refracted diamond-like spots of light in the morning mist.
The red walls of the city tower are immersed in the rose-gold morning glow. The texture of each brick is clearly visible, and the vermilion color becomes brighter as the light flows, as if a solidified flame is quietly rekindled.
tread! Tap!
The sound of marching suddenly stopped, forcing Li Xiangnan to retract his gaze and focus on what was in front of him, and then tears filled his eyes.
At this moment, a bright red color broke out from under the dark blue sky, and the morning breeze suddenly carried five golden stars that rustled.
