My Courtyard Refuge

National Day Parade

“Bad…sister…”

“Smelly Dabao, it’s not my sister who won’t let you eat, it’s grandma who won’t let you eat.” Lele said triumphantly, and at the same time did not forget to show off: “Wow, so sweet, so sweet, so delicious!”

“Wow wow wow…”

Lele successfully made Dabao cry. When Dabao cried, the other two little guys immediately started howling too.

In the matter of crying, the triplets have always advanced together.

Seeing that something was wrong, Lele immediately put oil on the soles of her feet and hid in the room.

Only Ke Ke was still trying to coax the triplets over there, but unfortunately she didn’t have three heads and six arms, so she couldn’t coax them at all.

Mama Xu heard the cry, ran over immediately, and said with a headache: “I was fine just now, why are you crying again?”

Ke Ke hesitated to speak, his face was full of confusion.

Xu’s mother understood at a glance that it must be the fault of that naughty Lele. This little granddaughter knows how to be mischievous every day, and she is almost worried to death.

Yang Lina just came back at this time, and each of the three coaxed one, and finally coaxed the triplets.

“Coco, is it Lele’s good deed?” Yang Lina asked without any scruples because she was not Xu’s mother.

Without waiting for Ke Ke to answer, Lele ran out of the bedroom, and said in an excuse: “I didn’t do anything, it was Dabao who wanted to cry.”

“Dabao is fine, why are you crying?” Yang Lina questioned.

“Grandma doesn’t give strawberries to my younger brothers. Dabao watched my sister and I eat them, and then he was greedy to cry. When Dabao cried, Erbao and Xiaobao also cried.”

While Lele understated it, she didn’t forget to drag her sister into the water.

Yang Lina is not easy to fool, she guessed the truth of the matter immediately from her daughter’s words: “Did you tease Dabao with strawberries on purpose?”

“I didn’t.” Lele quibbled.

Regardless of whether there was or not, Yang Lina was cruel this time, and slapped her little daughter’s ass, making Xiao Lele howl like a ghost.

It wasn’t until Xu Dong came back after picking up Xu’s father that Yang Lina stopped, and at the same time did not forget to warn:

“If you bully my younger brothers again, let’s see how I deal with you.”

After being beaten, Lele finally became honest for a few days.

…

October 9th is the National Day commemorating the 108th anniversary of the founding of Daxia. Although this year is not a ten-year celebration, a grand military parade is still planned.

The implication makes people think about it.

Xu Dong gave Xiang Xin a one-week long vacation, and he himself had to take the place of Xiang Xin on the night shift on the night of National Day.

Fortunately, the night shift does not interfere with daytime activities.

Early in the morning, in order to let the twins experience patriotic education for themselves, Xu Dong brought them to Victory Square before six o’clock.

Get ready to watch the National Day flag raising.

Today’s Victory Square is crowded with people, Xu Dong is holding Coco with his left hand and Lele with his right hand, becoming an inconspicuous member of the crowd.

“Dad, I’m cold.” Lele looked sleepy.

Xu Dong took off his scarf and wrapped it around his little daughter: “Persist a little longer, the flag-raising ceremony will begin soon.”

The little guy was not interested at all, and dozed off on his father’s lap.

After another ten minutes, amidst the music of “Singing the Great Summer”, the flag-raising ceremony finally began.

Xu Dong immediately woke up his little daughter: “Lele, wake up, it’s starting.”

Lele opened his dim eyes, looked at the excited father, and looked at the excited crowd around him, feeling a little dazed for a while.

At 6:18, amidst the loud and clear national anthem, the Chilong flag was slowly raised, and finally reached the top of the flagpole, fluttering in the wind.

After the flag-raising ceremony was over, Lele couldn’t help but tremble on the way home:

“Dad, Dad, just now an old man praised our country for its good singing, and said that I can be a singer in the future.”

“Dad heard it too. Keke and Lele, you two did a great job just now. Dad is proud of you.” Xu Dong praised.

Lele, who had tasted the sweetness, said coquettishly: “Father, let’s come every day from now on, okay?”

“It’s so early, can you get up?” Xu Dong joked.

“I…I’m sure I can get up.” Lele insisted, which she probably didn’t believe even herself.

Xu Dong smiled and said: “You don’t need to come every day, only on National Day that there are so many people, and there are no grandpas who praise people.”

“Then we will come back next year on National Day.” Lele unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay, Dad promises you.”

Back home, Mother Xu was still complaining that Xu Dong was doing nothing but messing around, what’s so interesting about the flag-raising ceremony, don’t freeze the granddaughters.

Yang Lina is very supportive. In her words, there is no harm in letting the children learn more.

At exactly 10 o’clock, Xu Dong insisted on switching the TV to the news station despite Lele’s objection, because the military parade had already started.

This year’s military parade is different from the past. The amount of information contained in it is huge. Xu Dong didn’t pay much attention in his previous life. Since he has the intention in this life, he is not going to miss it.

Dad Xu was also watching together. The National Day is still open, but he got off work two hours earlier.

At 10:50, the split formally began.

What most people like to see most is the split form. After all, there are neatly arranged military phalanxes, various modern cutting-edge weapons, and various aircraft, which are extremely exciting.

But Xu Dong has little interest in these pictures, because the key information is in the speech of the big leader just now, and the breakdown can only be regarded as icing on the cake at best.

The parade lasted for a total of half an hour. With the last group of planes passing through the square, the military parade officially came to an end.

“Why is there no mass square team this year?” Dad Xu was slightly surprised.

Xu Dong speculated: “It is estimated that the time is too hasty,Lack of preparation. Or it is purely to show off the military power, and has no other purpose. ”

“It makes sense. Now that the world is in such a mess, I think showing off the military might is the real purpose.” Father Xu nodded and said.

“Didn’t the big leader’s speech just say that the new era, new situation, and new mission indicate that there must be big moves in the future.”

“What big move?” Father Xu asked curiously.

“How do I know this?” Xu Dong shook his head first, then changed the subject:

“However, the big leaders have mentioned the ‘global community of shared destiny’ more than a dozen times, and I think the path of ‘confrontation-cooperation’ will still be taken in the end.”

“What the hell? Tell me directly, is there going to be a war next?” Father Xu waved his hand and asked directly.

He only has a junior high school education, so he doesn’t know what is confrontation and what is cooperation.

Based on the experience of his previous life, Xu Dong analyzed emphatically: “It is impossible to fight a war, and with the size of our country, no one dares to fight with us.

However, small-scale regional conflicts are absolutely indispensable, and the chaos abroad will definitely affect the country, opportunities and challenges coexist. ”

“As long as there is no war.” Father Xu said with satisfaction.

Xu Dong could only smile wryly at this.

Sometimes, war is the fundamental way to resolve conflicts, and cutting flesh with a blunt knife is often the most painful.
