October 1st.
The 50th anniversary military parade was held grandly.
As it marks the 50th anniversary and the turn of the century, this National Day military parade is far more grand than in the past.
Uncle Dong was also invited to the scene to witness the 50th anniversary military parade with his own eyes.
certainly.
Uncle Dong is at the bottom of the city tower. In fact, according to his qualifications, he is not unqualified to stand up there, but he doesn't want to be in the limelight.
He came just to see New China.
Looking at the infantry phalanx passing in front of him, Uncle Dong couldn't help but burst into tears.
"uncle."
On the side, Li Jie handed over the handkerchief at the right time.
Uncle Dong wiped the tears on his face, held Li Jie's arm excitedly, and murmured to himself.
"Company commander, company commander, did you see it?"
"We did not disappoint you!"
"We stand up!"
Looking at the excited Uncle Dong, Li Jie didn't remind him to pay attention to his emotions.
Can you control it?
Without personal experience of that period, it is absolutely impossible to understand the vigorous passion in the old man's heart.
Although Li Jie did not participate in the resistance to the United States, he witnessed the birth of the Republic with his own eyes.
He has been a witness to every period of the history of the Republic, from the thorny road to the economic boom, to becoming a pole in the East.
It's just that no one knows.
Just like 'Hu Feng' back then.
No one knows your name, but your achievements will last forever!
At 11:13, the last chariot drove out of the parade finish line on the west side in front of the Tiananmen Tower, and the 65-minute military parade was declared over.
The moment it ended, Li Jie immediately supported Uncle Dong.
For an old man of this age, he was very excited for more than an hour. At that time, he didn't think that it was normal for him to lose strength after the exercise.
Not long after, Li Jie carried Uncle Dong to the car and then asked him to lie on the passenger seat. Li Jie gave him a massage on the spot.
It is used to promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue.
"Huh?"
Uncle Dong felt warm and comfortable on his body, and he couldn't help asking with surprise on his face.
"Weijun, who did you learn this from?"
"Talking to an old Chinese medicine practitioner."
Li Jie smiled and told a white lie. When it came to conditioning the body, he was afraid he would not be able to find a match in this world.
In previous years, he would go back to his hometown every year to see the dean and Uncle Dong's family.
Every time he goes back, he will never be empty-handed. Every time he will bring back some 'health products', the kind made by himself.
Therefore, Uncle Dong has had almost no physical problems over the years, and the hidden injuries he suffered on the battlefield have also healed.
Regarding this matter, Uncle Dong was quite surprised.
However, Uncle Dong was a very nervous person and did not go to the bottom of the matter.
Anyway, it’s better!
This is the most important.
"Uncle, please come here this time and stay for a few more days. My sister and I miss you."
Li Jie said with a smile while massaging.
"Yanjing has developed rapidly in recent years. You haven't been here for a few years, and many places have changed drastically."
"Come back, my sister and I will take you around."
"good."
Uncle Dong happily accepted this suggestion.
"Okay, I miss you sisters too."
"When I came here this time, I found that things have indeed changed. There are more tall buildings."
"A lot of places have turned into big construction sites."
Li Jie chuckled: "Yes, the construction site is good, it shows that our country is developing and making progress."
"You kid, your mouth is still so sweet."
Uncle Dong smiled and joked: "However, you are right to the point. China is indeed getting better and better."
"There's just something not right about it."
"There are too many laid-off workers now."
"These people have dedicated most of their lives to the country. They are laid off when they are asked to be laid off. Many of them have families to support."
"How will they live in the future?"
Li Jie smiled and comforted: "If you are laid off, don't you also have to work in the sea?"
"If a self-employed person does a good job, his income is no worse than those in a factory."
"Furthermore, the wages paid in the factory are dead wages. Self-employed workers can work more and earn more, while ordinary people have more motivation."
Uncle Dong glared: "You kid, what do you know!"
"I just said you were sensible, now you start talking nonsense."
"Self-employed people, how can they be compared with factory employees?"
"As a self-employed person, no matter how much you earn, there is no guarantee. If you have a full meal today and a hungry meal tomorrow, how can you have a full meal?"
Li Jie quickly apologized and said that he had said the wrong thing.
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Uncle, you are right. I am young and have limited knowledge."
"Otherwise, what if there is an old man in the family and there is a treasure?"
"As the old saying goes, it's people like you."
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Dong's face was suddenly filled with smiles.
This kid just knows how to make people happy.
In fact, what Uncle Dong said was not wrong.
Time is a cycle.
In the 1970s and 1980s, everyone wanted to be a factory worker. Workers were the best.
From the late 1990s to about 20 years ago, everyone wanted to go overseas and start a business. After all, they wanted to earn more.
It's all about money.
But, later on, things changed again.
Taking the public examination is the first choice for most graduates.
It is far better to have a guaranteed harvest despite droughts and floods than to get rich and have thunderstorms.
We are all ordinary people in this world, and there is no chance to step on it. Living our own small lives down-to-earth is the way to go.
Home, country, home, country, country are made up of small families.
If every small family is living well, the country will definitely become better.
"Uncle, are you hungry?"
After a while, the massage was over. Li Jie adjusted Uncle Dong's seat and then sat in the driver's seat.
"Shall we go home for dinner first?"
"Okay, let's go home and have dinner."
Uncle Dong chuckled and said, "Eating outside is not clean and expensive."
"Besides, my craftsmanship is not as good as yours."
"Okay, let's go home and eat. I'll cook it myself."
On weekdays, Li Jie rarely cooks. When he eats at home, he hires an auntie.
In this world, there are only a few people who can let him take the initiative to cook. Apart from Shen Mo, Lao Huang, there are only Uncle Dong's family and a few elders in the orphanage.
"After dinner, uncle, where do you want to go?"
On the way back, the two of them chatted.
"I want to go to the theater."
While speaking, a trace of sadness flashed across Uncle Dong's eyes.
"Listening to a play?"
Li Jie said unexpectedly: "Uncle, I remember you don't listen to dramas, right?"
Uncle Dong answered subconsciously, obviously, he was already immersed in memories.
"yes."
"I don't listen to drama."
"But, my company commander likes to listen to plays."
"Our company commander's favorite play is "The Peach Blossom Fan"."
"An elder of the company commander used to be an opera singer. During the Anti-Japanese War, he encountered Japanese soldiers entering the city..."
