Chapter 346 National Day
While going to the bathroom in the rain, Liu Shiya and He Lai started talking.
"Hey, Xiao Laizi, you are so thoughtful. You made such a big cake for Sister Song Xue."
"It's no big deal, it's no big deal. When you get married one day, I promise to give you one too!"
He Lai spoke.
"Bah, who asked you to send me off!" Liu Shiya glared at He Lai angrily, then muttered softly.
"The big radish with big heart!"
He Lai suddenly felt speechless and thought Liu Shiya was really inexplicable.
"Xiao Laizi, Dean Fang accepted the Ding Qiunan you introduced to him, and he is now studying in the hospital."
Zhang Xinran mentioned Ding Qiunan with a smile.
"Really? That's great. How are you doing in the hospital now? Have you gotten a raise?"
The last time He Lai went to the First Hospital to visit Qin Huairu and Auntie, he didn't talk much with them.
"I'm alright……"
"None of your business, Xinran. Ignore him! Let's continue eating."
Liu Shiya stopped Zhang Xinran from answering.
He Lai was speechless for a while. Liu Shiya must have entered menopause early.
"He Lai, what's going on? Does this woman have a grudge against you?" Liu Mu whispered.
"There is a big grudge!" He Lai replied in a low voice.
"Oh, what vengeance?"
"Don't ask. Asking too much will cause trouble!"
...the two began to whisper.
But the rain soon came back, and sitting next to He Lai, everyone returned to their previous state.
After Zhang Zhiwen and Song Xue finished paying respects to their elders, they came back and started drinking with everyone.
Especially Zhang Zhiwen’s friends, who were children of high-ranking officials, drank with him one cup after another.
Song Xue simply sat at He Lai's table and ignored Zhang Zhiwen.
"Sister Song Xue, you are a really competent bride!" He Lai gave Song Xue a thumbs up.
"Xiao Laizi, you don't understand. They are just like this. They just want to make trouble together every day."
Song Xue said nonchalantly.
"Ah, I didn't expect Brother Zhiwen to be such a drinker! He didn't drink much at the steel mill!"
He Lai looked at Zhang Zhiwen and his group of brothers drinking from cups on the left and right, and said in confusion.
"Which of the children in the compound doesn't drink? Do you think everyone is like you, studying all the time?"
Song Xue gave He Lai a blank look.
"Sister Song Xue, you don't understand this, right? This is called suffering first and then sweetness. See? I'm already a section chief! I make money just by sleeping every day!"
He Lai didn't mind Song Xue's sarcasm at all, instead he was very proud of it.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome, everyone loves you! That's enough!"
Song Xue gave He Lai a blank look, then started drinking with Liu Shiya and a few other sisters.
"Yu Shui, we don't want to drink alcohol, just orange juice!" He Lai said with a smile as he poured orange juice for Yu Shui.
"Okay." Yu Shui agreed with a smile.
"Hey, you two, don't pay attention, I'm still right next to you!" Liu Mu said.
"It's your fault for not bringing your sister-in-law with you. Can you blame me?" He Lai and Yu Shui clinked their glasses and started drinking.
……
Soon, the wedding was over, and Zhang Zhiwen was successfully drunk by his good brothers.
Since He Lai and Yu Shui didn't ride bicycles, they walked out of Zhang Zhiwen's courtyard together.
In the room, Liu Shiya and Zhang Xinran just watched He Lai's back as he left.
"You two stop looking at her. I only like other people's childhood sweethearts." Song Xue said to Liu Shiya and Zhang Xinran.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who likes him!" Liu Shiya came to her senses and glared at Song Xue.
Zhang Xinran withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
"If you don't like it, why don't you two get married? You two little ancestors, you are both 21 years old, not young anymore. I have introduced several girls to you, but you don't like any of them!
No matter how good He Lai is, he is only one person. Do you really think he can split himself? Do you still want to be his concubine? "
Song Xue gave them both a blank look.
"Oh, it's none of your business. I haven't met someone I like yet. If I do, I'll get married naturally!"
Liu Shiya said impatiently.
In fact, she was under a lot of pressure. Her friends and family kept introducing potential partners to her, but for some reason, every time Liu Shiya would compare others with He Lai, she would find that the gap was too big, and then she would lose interest.
Zhang Xinran is even worse. Her parents hope that she can marry into a rich family and help their family. However, Zhang Xinran has a crush on He Lai, which makes her road to blind dates bumpy.
"Alas, what is love in this world? It makes people pledge to each other for life and death! The falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is heartless!"
Song Xue sighed.
"Are you done yet? Drink. I'm going to get you drunk today."
Liu Shiya didn't want to listen to Song Xue's nonsense anymore, so she raised her glass.
"Okay, drink it if you want. I can drink ten people like you!"
Song Xue was naturally not afraid of Liu Shiya, so she raised her glass and started drinking with Liu Shiya.
……
He Lai saw that it was still early, only half past ten, so he went to Tiananmen Square in the rain to watch the National Day celebrations.
This year is 1959, the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. To celebrate this great moment, millions of people in Beijing gathered in Tiananmen Square for a grand rally and parade. The festive Tiananmen Square was filled with joy.
Around the square, large colorful balloons with a diameter of 3 meters were hung with many eye-catching slogans, showing a joyous festive atmosphere everywhere.
This joy belongs to everyone in China.
Unfortunately, there has been no more National Day military parade after 1959. Due to the extremely "left" policy, the economy further deteriorated. Even the great man made the decision to "take the lead in not eating meat". The top leaders decided to reform the National Day ceremony system, which became more and more grand year by year, and implemented the "small celebration every five years, a big celebration every ten years, and a military parade every big celebration."
Unfortunately, this reform directly stopped the National Day military parade, which was not resumed until 1983.
He Lai and Yu Shui arrived at Tiananmen Square and were quickly drowned in the sea of people. Everyone raised their hands and shouted desperately.
The military parade had already passed, which was a pity! Now it was time for the mass parade. A guard of honor composed of tens of thousands of workers and students, carrying a large banner with the slogan "Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", marched neatly in the front.
Ten golden flower baskets filled with flowers hold up the huge national emblem, symbolizing the motherland's infinite bright and beautiful future.
Several colorful charts record the production increases of steel, coal, grain and cotton over the past 10 years.
Young Pioneers, workers, farmers, government officials, scientific workers, urban residents, university and college students, militia, art troupes, sports troupes, etc. walked past Tiananmen Square one after another. The scene was quite spectacular.
Miners carrying hydraulic coal mining machinery performed a demonstration of hydraulic cutting of coal blocks, demonstrating the new development of my country's coal mining technology.
Models of fat pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens and ducks with movable wings all drew applause from the crowd.
Excerpts from excellent Peking Opera "Mu Guiying Takes Command", Han Opera "The Second Plum Blossom", Yue Opera "A Dream of Red Mansions" and other excellent plays were performed on the floats.
Several gymnastics champions performed exercises on the horizontal bar, parallel bars, and rings on cars and motorcycles.
The Hongqi, Heping and Beijing luxury cars that marched along with the parade, as well as real objects and models of tractors, airplanes, ships, precision lathes, large generators, experimental heavy water reactors, electrostatic accelerators, cyclotrons, electronic computers, etc., aroused warm applause and cheers from the people.
Slogans, models and performances paint a beautiful picture of my country's socialist construction.
The capital on National Day is like a colorful garden, full of drama, music and dance.
He Lai also feels the joy that National Day brings to people, and he hopes that the country can always remain so beautiful.
