Two generations of military wives compete for time

After hearing what the doctor said during the ward rounds, Hao Xia's sister-in-law felt much better: "Professor Chen, when you are discharged from the hospital and go home, I will cook for you according to the nutritious diet every day. You are not allowed to eat in the school cafeteria. Do you hear me?" "I will follow my wife's instructions in everything, hehe."

"Yizhen, have you been to Beijing before? Do you know what famous attractions there are in Beijing? This is also Hao Xia's first time in Beijing. Why don't you two go visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace, and the Great Wall. How about relaxing a little?" Professor Chen Zhuoran suggested.

"Uncle Zhuoran, this is the first time I've been to Beijing since I was a child. Sister-in-law Hao Xia, let's go visit Tiananmen Square, the Tiananmen Square in the song "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" that we sang every day when we were young. Tiananmen Square is right next to the Forbidden City, which was the royal palace of China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, formerly known as the Forbidden City." Qian Yizheng understood Uncle Zhuoran's good intentions and decided to take Sister-in-law Hao Xia to visit the famous places of interest in Beijing.

Qian Yizhen and sister-in-law Hao Xia came to Tiananmen Square, stood under the five-star red flag flying high, looked at the huge portrait of Chairman Mao on Tiananmen, and sang "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" softly:

I love Beijing's Tiananmen, where the sun rises. The great leader Chairman Mao guides us forward;

I love Beijing's Tiananmen, where the sun rises. The great leader Chairman Mao guides us forward;...

Sister-in-law Hao Xia and Qian Yizheng seemed to have returned to their youth.

"Yizhen, during the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards from our village went to Beijing to organize a group movement. They saw the Tiananmen Square in Beijing and told those of us who had never seen it, "The Tiananmen Square in Beijing is so magnificent and stunning."

We, the Little Red Soldiers, really didn’t understand how great it could be. Today, when I stood on the real Tiananmen Gate Tower in Beijing, I truly felt the grandeur, shock, and incredibleness.

After I get home, I will definitely embroider what I saw at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and hang it on the wall to look at it every day." Sister-in-law Hao Xia said excitedly.

Qian Yizhen was also shocked. The ancient architecture of the Forbidden City is truly amazing. It is a world cultural heritage. The Forbidden City is centered on the three main halls, covers an area of ​​about 72 square meters, and has a construction area of ​​about 15 square meters. There are more than 9999.5 palaces of various sizes. It is said that the Forbidden City has a total of 1973 rooms. In fact, according to on-site measurements by experts in 8707, the Forbidden City has rooms.

The construction of the Forbidden City began in the fourth year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1406), based on the model of the Forbidden City in Nanjing. It was completed in the eighteenth year of the Yongle reign (1420) and became the palace of twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Qian Yizhen and sister-in-law Hao Xia followed the tour guide of the Forbidden City, listening to the explanation and viewing the rare treasures in the Forbidden City.

Imperial concubines are envied by women in the folks, and they are a rare existence, but most of them are not favored by the emperor, after all, the emperor has limited energy. Even the most unpopular concubines are nominally the emperor's women, with a certain status, so they need a large number of palace maids to serve their food and daily life.

Once these concubines entered the palace, they faced a difficult way to make a living, especially in the harem, a place of right and wrong. Their lives were full of challenges and tests. Most of them were away from their loved ones, living a miserable and lonely life until the end of their lives.

The fate of palace maids was also full of uncertainties. Some palace maids might be chosen as concubines or sent out of the palace, while those with bad fates might stay in the palace in a very miserable state and suffer inhuman torture.

The origin of palace maids is very early, and they have existed since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Their duties include serving the royal nobles and beauties in the harem. The palace maid system in the Qing Dynasty was relatively strict, divided into beautiful women and ordinary palace maids. Beautiful women could be favored by the emperor or be betrothed to princes and nobles, while ordinary palace maids mostly did rough and tiring work in the palace and were driven and enslaved.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the palace maids who were dismissed from the palace faced greater challenges, especially in the chaotic era of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Their lives became more difficult, and the discrimination and exclusion from society made it more difficult to find a suitable marriage.

The more Sister Hao Xia listened, the more uncomfortable she felt: "Why were women so miserable in the feudal emperor era? Although we were poor and hungry when we were young, we did not lose our dignity and freedom. In comparison, the world was led by Chairman Mao, and women had a high status. Yizhen, isn't this true?" Qian Yizhen nodded to Sister Hao Xia.

Qian Yizhen and sister-in-law Hao Xia came to the Badaling Great Wall and looked at the endless mountains in front of them. They immediately felt open-minded and full of enthusiasm. "Ah! He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man." Qian Yizhen shouted at the top of his voice.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia laughed and said, "Yizhen, you are better than a man now. When you get to the Great Wall, you will be a real hero."

A father and son were standing on the beacon tower, reading aloud: Qingpingle·Liupanshan Mao Zedong

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and I can see the swallows flying south. If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man, and the journey is 20,000 kilometers. On the top of Liupan Mountain, the red flag is fluttering in the west wind.

With the long tassel in hand today, when will the Canglong be bound?

The Badaling Great Wall is famous for its magnificent landscape, complete facilities and profound cultural and historical connotations. The city wall is a trapezoidal shape that is narrow in the east and wide in the west. It has two gates, the east gate is inscribed with "Juyong Waizhen" and the west gate is inscribed with "North Gate Lock and Key".

The Badaling Great Wall is not only an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese military defense projects, but also a precious cultural heritage of mankind.

Qian Yizhen and Sister Hao Xia returned to the Cancer Hospital. Professor Chen Zhuoran asked with a smile: "Are you shocked today? Tell me about it."

Sister-in-law Hao Xia opened up and chattered non-stop: "The emperor is the emperor. He has so many rooms, concubines, and maids. Most men can't stand it. Hehe." "The queen and concubines live in the palace. Although they have fine clothes and delicious food, they lack freedom. They are too pitiful. It is right to overthrow the emperor."

Professor Chen Zhuoran and Qian Yizhen listened quietly and attentively to what Sister Hao Xia was talking about. Sister Hao Xia was immersed in the awe of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. The shadow of stomach cancer was thrown away, and she became refreshed and regained her vitality.

Professor Chen Zhuoran and Qian Yizhen were sincerely happy for Sister-in-law Hao Xia.

After half a month, Professor Chen Zhuoran, Sister-in-law Hao Xia, and Qian Yizheng returned victoriously.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia helped Professor Chen Zhuoran into the house, and Grandma Lu Jingde led her grandson Chen Boxang and granddaughter Chen Bowen to greet them at the door.

Bo Xiang and Bo Wen grabbed their father and mother's clothes and said, "Where have you been? Don't you want us anymore?" The two children's eyes were filled with tears. This was the first time since they were born that they were away from their parents for such a long time. They felt like they were abandoned.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia: "Bo Xiang and Bo Wen are your babies. We love you forever. Dad is sick, and mom accompanied him to Beijing for treatment. Now you are back, right? Beijing is great. Dad and mom will take you to Beijing for fun, okay?"

Uncle Chen Haoyu, grandfather Lu Kaipu, grandmother Chen Yalu, and father Qian came to visit Professor Chen Zhuoran.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu said: "Zhuoran, if you believe in me, from now on, I will help you take care of your body with Chinese medicine decoctions, and give you a copy of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. Read it every day, and I guarantee that you will recover your health."

"Uncle Lu, Doctor Lu, I will definitely listen to you. I can't die yet. I am the pillar of the family. Hehe."

"Brother Zhuoran, your children are still too young. You must at least live until Bo Xiang and Boxian grow up. It would be great if I could die for you." Qian's father and Qian Guangzong suddenly blurted out so many words.

"Brother Guangzong, don't think like that. We two brothers must live well." Professor Chen Zhuoran said with emotion.
