I heard that you are very rude

043

Knowing that the two of them were going to watch the flag-raising tomorrow morning, Li's mother deliberately made the porridge for the morning in the evening and kept it warm with a rice cooker.

At the same time, she cooked some hot ginger soup, put it in a thermos, and told them to drink a bowl before going out.

It was cold, and she worried that the two children would catch a cold.

After dinner, Li Liren took Chen Mo around the nearby alleys, and then went home to wash up and get ready to rest.

When lying down, Li Liren saw Chen Mo's eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, so he smiled: "What? Can't sleep?"

"Well," Chen Mo nodded, "Thinking about it makes me excited, and I can't fall asleep."

"Why are you excited? Tell me." Li Liren lay down next to Chen Mo, then hugged him into his arms, lowered his head, smelled his hair, and smelled a faint smell of shampoo.

"My elder brother used to be the flag-raiser in the elementary school in the village, and then after I went to school, I took over his class and became the flag-raiser..." Chen Mo began to recall his glorious past at school.

For Chen Mo, being a flag-raiser in school is a much more honorable thing than being a class monitor. There are so many classes in the school, and each class has a monitor, but he is the only flag-raiser.

Later, it was reported that he had a fight, which had a considerable impact on his personal image. The school also used the excuse of letting the lower grade students exercise more, and replaced him. He was quite disappointed.But for him, every time he recalled this experience, he felt radiant on his face.

Chen Mo scratched his face in the middle of speaking: "In fact, many people said in private at that time that I was the flag-bearer because of my elder brother's honor. My elder brother not only has good grades, but also is an example in other aspects. not like me..."

Li Liren saw that Chen Mo stopped talking suddenly, so he touched his arm, as if to comfort him: "You are fine, but you are a bit out of touch, just be yourself."

"Well," Chen Mo nodded, "so I really, really want to see a real national flag raising, at the national level."

"Okay, I will accompany you to see whatever you want to see," Li Liren kissed Chen Mo's head, and said, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

The next day, the two got up in the dark, and after finishing the breakfast prepared by Mother Li, they rushed to Tian//Anmen Square together.

The ancient capital of Beijing, in the morning of early spring, blows the cold wind, the cold wind blows through the bones, and it hurts people's faces like a knife cut. However, this does not stop people from coming to the square to watch the flag-raising that must be held every day. ceremony.

At this time, many people had already gathered in the square. The two of them came earlier, but there were still people who came earlier and waited at the best viewing point.

The two found a place to stand, and Chen Mo found that the people around him were just like what he read in the textbooks when he was a child, people of all ages and occupations came to watch the flag raising .

Breathing the cold air, Li Liren asked, "Are you cold?"

After Chen Mo stood still, he was looking at the direction where the flag raiser was about to come out. He heard this and shook his head: "It's not cold."

When the two talked, the breath they exhaled was white.

The flag-raising ceremony on the square, regardless of the severe cold or heat, regardless of the wind and rain, any bad weather, can not affect it to be held on time, every day, the five-star red flag of our motherland will rise together with the sun, and then shine together on the land of the motherland .

When the sunrise was approaching, there was a sound of orderly and solemn footsteps from the city tower in the distance, and the crowd also began to look in the direction of the sound.

This is the flag bearers walking towards the flagpole with vigorous goose steps.

When the flag-raiser walked up to the flag-raising platform holding bright national flags, all the people in the crowd took off their hats and paid attention.

The high-pitched and loud national anthem sounded, and the people present began to sing along.

Chen Mo opened his mouth, his voice was softer than usual, but much clearer: "Get up, people who don't want to be slaves! Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood..."

When Chen Mo sang, he stood very straight, and his eyes kept rising with the national flag.He seemed to have returned to his childhood, on the dirt playground full of weeds and crooked elementary school students, he stood upright like a flagpole, and his hands pulled the rope bit by bit, slowly raising the flag sent to the sky.

At that youthful age, he was a little sun, shining with his own brilliance. Standing under the sun, no matter how noisy he was, whenever the flag was raised, his heart was so proud and excited.

I, Chen Mo, am a small flag-raiser, standing in front of hundreds of students, raising the five-star red flag that they look up to together under everyone's gaze.

I am very proud.

Chen Mo sang from beginning to end, with a choked voice at the end.With the accompaniment of the national anthem, the five-star red flag rose to the top of the flagpole in the first ray of sunshine in the morning, fluttering in the wind.

After the ceremony, the crowd that had stopped gradually dispersed.

And Chen Mo was still in place, looking up at the national flag.

After a while, Li Liren said, "Is it pretty?"

"Yeah!" Chen Mo came back to his senses, nodded and said, "It's so beautiful! It's so shocking!"

Li Liren asked him with a smile, and straightened the scarf for him: "Why didn't you salute just now?"

"Ah," Chen Mo said, "Aren't young pioneers and soldiers only saluting?"

"Yeah," Li Liren smiled.

Chen Mo continued: "The flag raisers and flag guards just now are so handsome!"

"You were handsome when you raised the flag when you were young."

Chen Mo was amused: "Why, I was always not following the rhythm of the national anthem. I was promoted too early or too late, and my goose step was far from theirs! Hey, I didn't really learn it. Going forward! I heard from my elder brother that he had to have military training in high school and college, and our junior high school also had military training, but it was canceled during the years I was studying..."

Chen Mo recalled the past: "I missed a lot."

"It doesn't matter," Li Liren patted Chen Mo's shoulder, "It's not bad to be able to stand in front of the flagpole. After all, the soldiers in the national flag class represent the image of our country, and of course they walk the best. And you can stand in front of the flagpole. When the flag is raised in the school, naturally you are also the best."

Li Yiren knows the little thing's longing for approval.

"Yeah," Chen Mo agreed, "I'm so envious of them, what an honor it is to be able to raise the flag for the motherland."

Speaking of this, Chen Mo thought of one thing: "Hey, I'm so annoying."

"how?"

"On the matter of me being cheated," Chen Mo frowned, "Actually, I really wanted to be a soldier, but when they said that, I didn't dare to go back to my hometown to sign up! Otherwise, I might already be in the army now." In the army, wearing a military uniform, how handsome it is!"

"You are also very handsome now," Li Liren put his arm around Chen Mo's shoulders, and slowly left the square, "Not everyone will be a soldier. Do a good job in your job and shine well, that is also serving the people .”

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Mo nodded, then blinked: "Huh? Have you worked in the neighborhood committee before? Why do you speak so like Aunt Wang?"

Li Liren: "..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm expressing my feelings."

In fact, Li Liren didn't say clearly that he, like Chen Mo, had been a flag-raiser before.

Li Liren knew that compared to him, Xiaodong had a much rougher life in the past. He was not valued at home, could not study all the time, and often got into fights and lost his temper. , It is indeed a stroke worth remembering in childhood memory.

Li Liren is different.

When he was in elementary school, he was the captain of the Young Pioneers and the flag-raiser. From junior high school to university, he was an officer of the student union, and he even became the chairman several times, so he is very easy to speak in an official language.

His life is much smoother than Chen Mo's, with excellent grades, good family conditions, and a well-rounded personality. In the eyes of others, he looks like a standard top student.

He couldn't fully understand Chen Mo's bitterness before, he could only remind himself all the time that the little thing might have encountered setbacks in this or that matter, and he had to take into account the little thing's emotions when he spoke, or he could do something. Order something else to make up for the regret of the little thing.

To Li Yiren, this feeling of caring for someone all the time is like holding a crystal ball in his hands every second. It shines, but it is also fragile.

The two came to the Badaling Great Wall. It was the Spring Festival holiday and there were huge crowds of people.

Chen Mo was full of interest, he walked a few steps and stopped to look around. The big world outside was so fresh and wonderful to him.

Li Liren silently followed behind him, watching him walk forward step by step.

"How long is the Great Wall?"

"The Great Wall was also built by Qin Shihuang!"

"There is the Great Wall in the north and Lingqu in the south!"

"Hey, by the way, are you from Wuhan or Beijing?"

Li Liren said with a smile: "My ancestral home is Beijing, and I grew up in Wuhan."

"Then you are from Beijing," Chen Mo said, "then there should be Li Liren in the north and Chen Mo in the south!"

Hmm, Li Liren nodded, her boyfriend Chen Mo.

After getting off the Great Wall, Li Liren drove Chen Mo to see the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. It has been several years since the Olympic Games, but when Chen Mo saw the buildings he saw on TV back then, his heart The excitement is beyond words.

"I was really envious of those who could watch the opening ceremony live!"

"Do you remember? At the beginning, there are hundreds of drummers playing drums and counting down!"

"Also, that huge painting that opened!"

Chen Mo's emotions were written all over his face.

He laughs when he is happy, frowns when he is sad, jumps when he is anxious, shakes his fist when he is angry, and even cries when he is sad.

It is as real as a book without a cover, and the text can be seen at a glance, without any cover.

This is why Li Yiren likes him so much, so that his emotions become Li Yiren's own feelings.

Beijing is too big, Li Liren drove Chen Mo to several places, but there were still many other places that he couldn't go to temporarily, Chen Mo could only leave his thoughts for later.

History has left many marks in this ancient and great capital, and Chen Mo has the opportunity to read it a little bit.

When they got home, Mother Li had prepared a steaming dinner and waited for them.

Holding a pot of hot tea, Father Li asked Chen Mo, "Is Beijing fun?"

"Yeah! It's fun!" Chen Mo nodded, and entered the house, his face was steamed red by the heat in the house, "I haven't been able to go to many places!"

Mother Li greeted everyone to sit down: "It's okay, come to Beijing when you have time in the future, and let Li Liren take you around."

Chen Mo drank a bowl of hot soup, his body was warm, he put down the bowl, and found that Mother Li was wearing the hairpin he gave him on her head, he couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, a sense of happiness of being recognized filled his heart.

He replied: "Auntie, we will go back to Yunnan the day after tomorrow. I don't plan to go anywhere tomorrow. Is there any work at home that I can help with?"

Mother Li's heart softened: "Hey, it's rare for you to come to Beijing, why stay at home, let Li Liren take you out to have fun, just tell him what you want to buy, and let him buy it."

"It's okay, I'll play later," Chen Mo said, "Tomorrow I'll help clean up the house, and then I'll cook a few more dishes. Auntie, you should have a good rest tomorrow. You have been taking care of us for the past few days. I'm so sorry. "

"Look at this child," Li's mother smiled at Li's father, "Xiao Chen is more sensible than Li Yiren. Since when did Li Yiren do housework! He can't even wash clothes well."

Li Liren is used to his mother often betraying him: "Hey, yes, your son is lazy, but your son has a good temper, so you can say whatever you want."

"I don't hesitate to talk about you," Li's mother curled her lips, "it's a waste of time to talk about you."

After eating, it was still Chen Mo who helped clean up and wash the dishes.

"Xiao Chen, do you often help with housework at home?" Mother Li asked.

"There is an older sister in the family, and most of the time she helps the family to do it, and I occasionally lend a helping hand."

"I see you are sensible," Li's mother kept boasting to Chen Mo, "It's rare for a young man in his early 20s to be so careful in doing things."

Li Liren has a dishwasher at home, but Li's mother feels that washing by hand is safe, so she often washes it by hand, and Chen Mo helped her wash it these days, so she is even more happy.

She can take this opportunity to chat with Chen Mo a little more.

She found that when Chen Mo was working, he was not only careful, but also more natural. The two of them chatted happily about any topic, and they developed a lot of feelings for each other.

When Chen Mo returned to the room after washing the dishes, he saw our young master was leisurely lying on the bed, eating fruit and watching TV.

"Are you done? Come here and rub your legs for Grandpa," Li Liren raised his eyebrows at Chen Mo, "Today, Grandpa walked with you all day and was exhausted."

Chen Mo changed his cuteness just now, and said with disgust: "Go, go, I don't bother to talk to you, if you have a sore leg, just saw it off."

Li Liren: "..."

"You were so sweet just now. If you need help at home, you are willing to do it. Why are you not happy to serve me?"

Chen Mo took off his coat and hung it on the hanger: "That depends on who is taking care of, uncles and aunts, of course it's no problem."

"You," Chen Mo glanced at, "go and cool off."

Li Liren: "..." The little thing is not cute anymore.

The author has something to say: Chen Mo: I used to be very honorable too!

Li Liren rubbed Chen Mo's head: That's right, I'm proud of you, come on, let me reward you with a kiss, okay?

Chen Mo: Get out, I don't care.

Li Yiren: ...
