Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Even though Zhou Jin and the others were still having breakfast, they were already very excited, so everyone ate very quickly and finished their breakfast in no time. Then they each took what they had prepared and got in the car.

Because Zhou Jin and his group were quite large, including elderly people and children, they did so for everyone's safety and to be able to reach Tiananmen Square more conveniently and quickly.

So Lou Bancheng had already prepared the cars, two cars in total. There were eight people in Zhou Jin's group, plus two drivers, which was just right and not overloaded.

As today is the National Day and a grand military parade will be held at the same time, strict martial law measures have been implemented near Tiananmen Square and all outside vehicles are unable to enter directly.

Therefore, Zhou Jin and others had to find the nearest parking spot, and after parking their cars, the group of eight walked to the venue.

Along the way, everyone was silent, but the irrepressible excitement on their faces and the slightly trembling hands revealed the surging emotions in their hearts at the moment.

Among these eight people, only Lou Bancheng and his wife were relatively calm. After all, from 1949 to 1959, a total of 11 National Day military parades were held in Tiananmen Square.

There is a military parade every National Day, but it will probably not be as grand as this year, after all, this is the tenth anniversary.

As red capitalists, Lou Bancheng and Lou Mu have made great contributions to the country's construction and development. Therefore, they are invited to participate in the National Day parade every year.

So they were much calmer than Zhou Jin and the others, but they were still a little excited. After all, this year was more important, as it was the first tenth anniversary.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Zhou Jin and the others finally arrived at their seats.

This position is located in the first row on the right side opposite Tiananmen Square. Although it is not close to Tiananmen Square, you can still see Tiananmen Square clearly and watch the military parade in its entirety.

After a few people sat down, the crowd around them gradually increased, and soon all the viewing stands were full.

At this moment, a group of soldiers in neat military uniforms were seen quickly shuttling between the viewing stands. Their steps were vigorous and powerful, and their eyes were firm and focused.

As they moved, the originally noisy Tiananmen Square suddenly became silent, as if time had stopped.

Zhou Jin raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. The hour hand pointed to exactly half past nine.

He thought to himself, "It should be about to start."

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the Tiananmen Gate Tower, looking forward to the arrival of that sacred moment.

Sure enough, not long after, shadows began to sway on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. Although the distance was far and Zhou Jin had excellent eyesight, he still could not see the faces of those people clearly.

However, he knew in his heart that those people were the most outstanding and greatest figures in the Dragon Kingdom.

It’s a pity that private individuals are not allowed to bring cameras into the venue, otherwise I would have taken a photo with them from a distance. These are the greatest people in Dragon Country.

At ten o'clock sharp, a solemn and respectful voice rang out from the Tiananmen Tower, resounding throughout the country, announcing to the people of the country that the National Day military parade had officially begun.

With the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, twenty-eight cannon salutes rang out throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

Then the most exciting military parade began. The officers and soldiers in neat uniforms marched in uniform steps and passed the rostrum to be reviewed.

They were dressed in military uniforms, holding guns, and their faces were full of determination and pride.

In the air, fighter planes roared past, leaving long trails, demonstrating the country's strength and the might of the army.

The whole square was filled with a solemn and warm atmosphere, and the audience waved national flags and cheered.

This is a grand event that showcases the country's strength and national spirit, and is also the best blessing to the motherland.

The parade formations this time include infantry formations, vehicle formations, and an air formation display.

The marching column is composed of the academy column, the sailor column, the infantry division column of the Sijiucheng Military Region, etc.

The vehicle columns include motorized infantry columns, paratrooper columns, artillery columns, etc.

The air echelon is composed of bomber divisions, fighter divisions and advanced aviation schools.

Compared with the National Day parade five years ago, although the cavalry and three-wheeled motorcycle columns were cancelled in this parade, the degree of localization of the weapons and equipment on display has been greatly improved.

After the military parade, a mass parade began in the square to showcase the achievements of socialist construction and the people's joy.

Zhou Jin and his friends stayed until the mass demonstration was over before leaving Tiananmen Square and getting on a car to go home.

Zhou Jin was very excited today. Although the military parade at this time did not have the high-tech weapons of later generations, the confidence and momentum shown by this group of soldiers still made Zhou Jin unforgettable for a long time.

Although photography was not allowed during the entire process today, the fact that Zhou Jin was here and witnessed it was enough.

It's almost twelve o'clock now, and it might be a bit rushed if I want to rush home to cook.

Besides, today happened to be the National Day, so after discussion everyone decided to go to the restaurant for dinner.

After lunch, the group returned to the Lou family first. After all, the day after tomorrow was the day of Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e's wedding banquet. There were still many things to discuss and the house also needed careful preparation.

After arriving at Lou's house, everyone took a short rest and then began to clean up the house. Perhaps they were shocked by today's military parade, and everyone is still full of energy.

In the end, it only took more than two hours to clean up the Lou family's entire home.

It was still early and Zhou Jin needed to go home to clean up, so he didn't stay for dinner.

Lou Bancheng arranged a car to take grandpa and grandma back home first. Zhou Jin came here by bicycle yesterday, so it would be more convenient for him to ride back now.

When Zhou Jin returned to the courtyard, the two little girls were still excited and were talking enthusiastically about every detail of the military parade along the way.

Although they are nearly ten years apart in age, perhaps because they both have a childhood that they don't want to revisit, the two of them sympathize with each other. They get along as closely as sisters and can talk about anything.

The residents in the courtyard couldn't help but feel curious when they heard the conversation between He Yushui and others.

Today, under the organization of Yan Bugui, they also went to Tiananmen Square together, but they could only watch from a distance. If they could climb trees, they could also climb up trees or taller buildings to watch.

Of course, most people were too far away to see the parade. All they could hear were cheers and exciting music.

Occasionally, they would catch a glimpse of the parade team through the gaps in the crowd and cheer with excitement.

So, when they heard Zhou Xin and He Yushui talking about the details of watching the military parade, they were immediately attracted and wanted to stop Zhou Xin and others and tell them what the military parade was like.

It's just that they had a big conflict with Zhou Jin two days ago. Even if they were thick-skinned, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing in front of Zhou Jin.

Although the adults didn't dare to follow Zhou Jin and the others, the children didn't care. They swarmed around He Yushui and Xinxin, and kept asking He Yushui to tell them about the military parade.

Just at this moment, the door of Sha Zhu's house opened and Sha Zhu walked out.

This surprised Zhou Jin a little. The news he received was that Sha Zhu needed to be hospitalized for half a month and then rest at home for another month.

It should be a few days before the day he was supposed to be discharged from the hospital. I don't know whether Shazhu was discharged early because he wanted to watch the grand military parade or because he didn't have enough money to pay for the subsequent medical expenses.

However, judging from his mental state, he seemed to have almost recovered, and Zhou Jin couldn't help but sigh once again at Sha Zhu's terrifying recovery ability.

Seeing Sha Zhu walking towards He Yushui, Zhou Jin realized that this idiot was trying to cause trouble, so he quickly pulled He Yushui and Zhou Xin behind him.

Then Zhou Jin just stared at Sha Zhu, not knowing what words to use to describe him.

Ever since Zhou Jin came back, he allowed He Yushui to eat at his house when she had nothing to eat, and he also gave her living expenses. Sha Zhu basically didn't care about Yushui anymore, let alone show any concern for her.

After all, in Sha Zhu's heart, his sister Qin will always be ranked first. Perhaps only if he marries Ran Qiuye home can he possibly replace Qin Huairu.

However, it was a good thing for Sha Zhu that Zhou Jin began to take care of He Yushui's daily life. From then on, he no longer had the burden of supporting He Yushui.

This would also save Sha Zhu a considerable amount of money, so he could have more food and more money to support his beloved Sister Qin.

However, Shazhu has a strange chauvinistic mentality. Although he no longer takes care of his own sister, he feels very uncomfortable when he sees his sister getting close to others.
