Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Chapter 345 National Day Ceremony

The third son was so angry that he was jumping up and down. He was also in urgent need of money!

His mother had confiscated all of his small treasury, and now he was restricted from buying snacks secretly.

He didn't have a penny on him. He was a rich man suddenly poor. He didn't even dare to go to the supply and marketing cooperative because he couldn't stand the contemptuous looks of the salesmen.

The adults also looked at each other in confusion, but luckily they were more cunning than the children and did not show it on their faces.

It was Mr. and Mrs. Guan who were the most open-minded. “It shouldn’t be our fortune, so don’t take it too seriously.

To be honest, we should be content. Our ancestors planted trees, and now we have walnuts.

There are many people out there who have a harder time than us. If others are lucky enough to have it, it is their good fortune.”

"That's right, people should be content! These trees were not planted by our ancestors. We are lucky to get some of them. If we get all of them, it means God is biased!

Okay, now that we are here, let’s do what we should do!

Zhaozhao, go look around and see if we should move today. Should we continue to dig herbs or chop firewood? We can't go back empty-handed, right?"

What can Han Zhaozhao do but obey orders!

They took a few older children with them as pioneers, searching the mountains and fields for medicinal herbs. Once they found any, they called on the adults to go and dig them.

After a day of walking a lot and working a lot, I finally dug up two sacks of medicinal materials and more than 30 kilograms of wild yam.

When we went down the mountain, we chopped more than a dozen bundles of firewood to make up the number.

The tricycles were stacked high, and each person carried a bundle. Although the economic benefits were not high, it was considered a full load.

Several friends were severely hit. In the following days, they only chopped firewood a few times outside the mountain and never went deep into the mountains again.

The one who cared the least was Han Zhaozhao. Anyway, too many people would affect her performance, so it was better not to go into the mountain, otherwise she would just be a runner-up.

During this period, she made rapid progress in her medical studies. After successfully treating Niu Xiaojun, her confidence increased. She went to Dr. Dong's clinic for advice at least twice a week and went to Master Liu's home to study for one day.

Even Xiaoliang and Wuni are not that serious about their studies. Just give each of them a set of calligraphy exercises and let them study on their own!

No, leave it until night. You can ask her, or you can ask Xiao Sanzi Niu Xiaoyun and the others.

Soon, the National Day of 1959 arrived. In the early morning, a red sun was rising slowly, like the rising red star of New China.

The streets and alleys were filled with joy, sweeping away the tense atmosphere caused by food shortages some time ago. Chang'an Avenue was even turned into a sea of ​​joy!

All the young people took to the streets to watch the celebration, but Han Zhaozhao and his group of children were deprived of the right to watch the excitement by the adults.

There were too many people and they were afraid that the children would be overwhelmed by the crowd and get into danger.

Han Zhaozhao and a few of his friends were gathered by Grandpa Guan around him to listen to the radio, which was broadcasting a live broadcast of the National Day ceremony.

The children listened attentively. The 10th National Day celebration, attended by more than 700,000 people, was the largest since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It was also during this 10th anniversary National Day parade that the domestically-made H-5 jet bomber and J-5 fighter jet made their debut.

At nine o'clock in the morning, representatives from all walks of life and foreign guests also went up to the Tiananmen Gate Tower to watch the ceremony.

Afterwards, Chairman Mao and other leaders from various countries who came to watch the ceremony climbed the Tiananmen Gate Tower to witness the great achievements made by the People's Republic of China since its founding ten years ago.

First, at 10 o'clock sharp, Peng Zhen, then mayor of Beijing, announced the start of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of New China. Salutes were fired in Tiananmen Square, and everyone was solemn and listened quietly to the national anthem.

400 young pioneers presented flowers to the Monument to the People's Heroes. In the great war of liberation, countless outstanding Chinese sons and daughters fought bravely and sacrificed themselves to create brilliant achievements that shocked the world and opened up a great new cause. The Chinese people's heroes will live forever! They will live forever!

Afterwards, the grand military parade officially began.

Although they were not present at the scene, the children felt as if they were there through the announcer's passionate voice, as if they were standing in the vast and solemn Tiananmen Square.

In the evening, when the older children like Niu Xiaomin came home, they surrounded them and asked questions curiously.

What’s funny is that Niu Xiaomin said that none of them entered the square.

Most of the 700,000-plus people were only allowed to watch from the outside. The hundreds of thousands of people allowed to enter the square had been selected through layers of selection several months in advance.

They included groups from various universities, outstanding workers from major factories, and representatives from all walks of life. They were all led by special people and lined up in different areas to enter the square in an orderly manner.

They were ordinary people, idle people in society. They just joined in the fun and listened to the noise. However, their trip was not in vain, as many students lost their hats and shoes.

There were also many people who were dispersed. It was a good thing they didn’t go, otherwise the ones lost might have been children!

Han Zhaozhao was secretly proud of herself, so she didn't tell them that she had seen the real footage of the celebration in later life, and it was a high-definition color version with a special narration throughout!

Hahahaha! "I laughed triumphantly!"

"Zhao Zhao, why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Ahem, ahem," he said, laughing secretly and being caught, "I'm laughing at you guys who went to the scene but didn't understand as much as us who stayed at home and listened to the radio!"

"It's true! Anyway, I looked at the head, the butt in the middle, the heels, and nothing else.

Even so, we still have to be careful not to be pushed down by people! Today, the police and soldiers have the hardest time. With so many people, maintaining order is a huge task. "

Niu Xiaojun also said: "What is this? I heard that because of this National Day ceremony, the public security department started to take action a few months ago and arrested many spies who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause sabotage.

There was a group of spies who wanted to bombard the Tiananmen Gate! Do you think these bad guys are crazy?

Now it’s good, they’ve been wiped out in one fell swoop! "

The old lady was puzzled. "You said it's a new society now, isn't it good to live a good life? Baldy Chiang has fled to Taiwan, why are they still working so hard for him?"

At this point, Mr. Guan has a different view: "Tell me, these spies shout about 'serving the party and the country'. At first glance, it seems that they have a lot of faith, but to put it bluntly, aren't they just trying to get promoted and make money?

Before the liberation, when the Kuomintang had not yet been defeated, they kept saying they were loyal to the leader and the party and the country, but that was just a fig leaf. When they got greedy, they were even more ruthless than the fucking Qing Dynasty officials! "

The old man was used to the corruption of the Kuomintang in the old society and didn't believe that there were many good people among them.

A really good person would have been forced to return to his hometown long ago, so how can there be an official position for you to hold?

Han Zhaozhao secretly gave Grandpa Guan a thumbs up, she agreed with this point of view!

The next morning, Grandpa Guan was at home with nothing to do, so he asked his children to go to the street together.

On Chang'an Avenue, sanitation workers have been busy all night and have not yet left work.

There were cartloads of shoes, cartloads of bags, scarves, hats, gloves, pens, keys, and I heard that even watches worth hundreds of dollars were picked up.
