Chapter 1121 Mu Huanying: Just a Step Away from My Grandson
As a person of later generations, Li Xiangnan was also deeply impressed by the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. However, no matter how impressed he was, it was not as shocking as being there in person and seeing such a solemn and dignified scene with his own eyes!
In his previous life, he was busy with work. Although he came to Yanjing several times, he never had the opportunity to come to this square to experience a flag-raising ceremony. He had never experienced the shocking pride in the bones of the Chinese people!
But today, he was truly shocked from beginning to end and his eyes were filled with tears.
Of course, Li Xiangnan knew the history and also knew that the formal flag-raising ceremony began in 82, when the armed police were in charge of the flag-raising ceremony. It was not until 18 that the military honor guard took over the flag-raising ceremony, and it has been going on for decades without interruption.
Today is an exception.
Although there was no military parade in 79, the country still hasn't forgotten the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country and national liberation.
Use this special flag-raising ceremony to pay tribute to our senior predecessors.
Snapped!
Countless flashes rang all around. Li Xiangnan raised his eyes and covered his eyebrows, then turned his head to look at the city wall. Many journalist friends were quickly using their cameras to capture this rare, sacred and solemn moment.
"Eh? That's..."
But soon, Li Xiangnan spotted a familiar figure and hurriedly called out, "Song Yi, is that Hao Jian?"
I saw seven or eight reporters holding Seagull brand cameras, taking pictures of the leaders and heroes on the city wall, while Hao Jian was standing aside, taking pictures with an uncommon camera.
"It's Team Leader Hao!" Song Yi was also surprised to see him. "Why is he here? Where does Team Leader Hao work?"
Yes, where does Hao Jian work and how can he go up to the city wall?
Li Xiangnan shook his head and couldn't explain it himself, but when he saw him, he really wanted to go up and ask him.
Especially since such a big thing happened in the yard the night before, he was still waiting for Squad Leader Hao to come home and tell him everything in detail!
"They are going downstairs and going to the Monument to the People's Heroes and the Memorial Hall!" Song Zimo reminded.
"Let's go over there too!" Song Yi reminded.
"Yeah!" Li Xiangnan agreed, turned his head to look at the not-so-large crowd that had already started to move forward, and looked back at the city wall, but Hao Jian's figure had disappeared.
After a while, the leader brought my grandfather Li Dequan and my grandfather-in-law Qin Zongheng to the monument to lay wreaths, and then went to the memorial hall to pay their respects.
Li Xiangnan and Song Yi felt a little regretful that they couldn't follow in.
"Xiao Li, you are here too?"
While waiting, Lin Weimin squeezed over in amazement and said excitedly: "I mean, you look familiar to me from a distance! When the sun rises again, I will see that it is really you!"
"Brother Wei Min, you are here too!" Li Xiangnan greeted him with a smile. He didn't dare to take out a cigarette at this moment, so he could only shake hands with him with a smile.
"My dad insisted on dragging me over here to watch this morning!" Lin Weimin said embarrassedly, "My dad is upstairs so I can only stand at the back!"
He looked around quietly and whispered, "Grandpa Li is so amazing that he can stand next to the old leader!"
Li Xiangnan smiled and was about to talk when he saw Hao Jian flash past the entrance of the memorial hall. He turned his head and saw that his grandfather and the others had already come out, while Hao Jian walked quickly to the parking lot on the side.
"Is it over?" Lin Weimin also noticed that the crowd began to walk towards the Great Hall, and said hastily: "Xiao Li, tell me later!"
"Okay!" Li Xiangnan nodded and hurriedly pulled Song Zimo: "Zimo, I want to find squad leader Hao. I have something to tell him. I just saw him going over there. Let's go chase him together. I'm afraid he won't come back to the yard for a long time, and some things might go wrong..."
"Okay!" Song Zimo said to his sister Song Yi without hesitation, and the two of them walked towards the east side of the memorial hall together.
"I'll keep an eye on them. Their tea party will probably last another hour or so. Please be careful!" Song Yi called out softly.
"Got it!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, but did not stop and followed in the direction of Hao Jian.
……
"Leader, I'm back!"
Hao Jian stood in front of a Hongqi car, gently placed his camera and his special pass on the passenger seat, then stood in front of the rear window, took out a manual from his pocket, and ticked his name with a pen.
"Have you taken all the pictures?" the old man inside asked softly.
Hao Jian quickly compared the people in his memory, and after ticking them off, he immediately reported: "Leader, there are still two people who haven't been photographed. Do you think I need to go back and look for them again?"
"No need, one has passed away, and the other is seriously ill!" The old man sighed, "It's a good opportunity for me to come back this time and take a look! You get in the car..."
"Okay, boss!" Hao Jian nodded, put away the notebook, and was about to walk to the passenger seat to get in the car, but he was shocked and asked in surprise: "Xiao Li?"
"Team Leader Hao?! It's really you!" Li Xiangnan walked over quickly with a happy face.
Hao Jian subconsciously glanced at the car window and found that at this moment, the window was rising rapidly. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Xiao Li, you are here too?"
"Well, my grandfather asked me to accompany you today. I am lucky enough to witness today's ceremony!" Li Xiangnan smiled, looked out the car window, and apologized, "Team Leader Hao, did I delay your work?"
"No, no! It won't delay us!" Hao Jian smiled and pinched his shoulder, saying with emotion: "I haven't seen your grandfather for a few days. I was surprised to see him on the city wall today!"
"Grandpa participated in the early battles! He knows some people!" Li Xiangnan grinned.
"It's not as simple as just joining!" Hao Jian took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to him, "Grandpa Li is very low-key!"
Li Xiangnan smiled and didn't talk too deeply about it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Captain Hao, Uncle Hao caused some trouble in the yard. I haven't seen you these few days and couldn't find you. When I saw you, I wanted to tell you quickly... But you are at work now, so I won't waste your time! When you are done with your work these few days and come home, I will have a good chat with you about this matter!"
Something happened to the second uncle?
Hearing this, Hao Jian frowned, feeling a little nervous, but he smiled casually, "It's okay, just tell me now, I'm free!"
After he said this, he lit a cigarette for Li Xiangnan, and at the same time he moved aside and stood on the cliff, exposing the other person completely to the view of the rear window of the car.
"Speechless! This Mr. Hao is such a bastard!"
After listening to Li Xiangnan's story, Hao Jian silently covered his face with a look of melancholy, "How could he do such an outrageous thing..."
"Captain Hao, I won't interfere in other people's family affairs, but you are different. I hope you can let go of your belongings as soon as possible!"
"I know!" Hao Jian took a deep puff of cigarette and patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you! We'll talk when I get back!"
"Okay, work hard! Don't have any mental burden!" Li Xiangnan said again with concern.
"Well, let's go!"
Hao Jian waved his hand, then carefully got into the passenger seat and waved.
When the car started to move slowly and watched Li Xiangnan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, he turned his head slightly and glanced at his leader who was still rubbing his fingers on the car window.
"Leader, I'm sorry to have wasted your time!"
"No! You're doing great by staying so close to my grandson and letting me see him more!"
Mu Huanying reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the back of the car and looked forward.
"You can see him every day, but you can't tell him you'll work for me. Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"
Hao Jian shook his head and said firmly: "Leader, I am just like you, always waiting for the day when I can walk into the Li family openly!"
