A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 240

Veterans also need to work and eat.

There are many veterans working in various places in the capital.

It's not easy to find cheap and decent housing in the capital, where prices are relatively high compared to other places.

To resolve the Chen family's problems, Yun Jiao and her family need to find someone who can fight, handle things, and won't damage the house to rent.

Given the Chen family's nature, even if they knew Chen Wei had sold the house to someone else and no one was living in it, they wouldn't let it go. They might even shamelessly knock on the lock and move in.

Therefore, this house must be guarded by someone.

And veterans are indeed the best choice.

In the end, the Yun family all thought it was a good idea and agreed.

Fortunately, Old Wu knew where to find such a person.

"I know a transportation company that was recently established. It was started by a group of veterans, and most of the people in it are veterans. You can go and ask them."

Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe: "We'll go ask about it tomorrow."

With the housing issue resolved, everyone felt much more relaxed and started eating while chatting and laughing.

After that, they weren't in a hurry to look for a house. Since they were already in the capital, they certainly couldn't miss the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square.

It was only around three o'clock when Yun Jiao was dragged out of bed.

Still half-asleep, Yun Jiao, who had never gotten up this early before, had a resentful look in her hair.

Yun Linhai hugged her and said, "Jiaojiao, we have to go to Tiananmen Square. If we don't go soon, it will be too crowded to even get in."

Don't ask them how they know, because they went there once before, around six in the morning.

Good heavens, they were stunned when they arrived. The square was packed with people. Those of them who had no experience arrived late and were pushed to the very edge.

In the end, all we could see was the red flag rising high in the distance.

So today they must avenge their previous defeat and stand at the forefront!

Yun Jiao was wrapped up in a towel by Yun Linhai, who then carried her on his shoulder and ran.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we must get a good spot today."

It was still dark, but apart from Yun Jiao and a few younger members, everyone else in the Yun family was full of energy.

Even the two elderly people were like that.

This shows just how strong their conviction was to see the national flag raised in person.

Once they reached the square, they spread the blanket on the ground and sat down.

"Jiaojiao, you can keep sleeping. We'll wake you up when it starts."

Yun Jiao yawned, her head was already nodding off, and she didn't hear what her father was saying before she drifted off to sleep.

As time passed, she became aware of the increasing sounds around her, but with her loved ones beside her, she did not wake up.

It wasn't until her father picked her up and started running wildly.

Yun Jiao woke up with a start: What's wrong?
With her tuft of hair sticking up on her head, she looked around and was surprised to find that everyone around her was running wildly.

"Hurry, hurry, it'll start in an hour."

"Hahaha... It was definitely the right decision to sleep in the square last night."

"Why are there so many more people coming to watch the flag-raising ceremony these days?!"

"Nonsense, nowadays not only people from the capital, but people from other regions who come to the capital will definitely want to see the flag-raising ceremony."

There was no danger after all.

Yun Jiao's mouth was slightly open, and she couldn't quite understand why so many people would come to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

So lively.

When Yun Linhai stopped carrying her, Yun Jiao sat on her father's shoulders and saw a sea of ​​people.

There are so many people.

As the time drew near, the flag-raising team, dressed in military uniforms, marched in neat rows, looking dashing and spirited.

The movements, which appear rigid and somewhat mechanical, are rendered with a unique beauty by them.

As that vibrant red color rose and fluttered in the wind, everyone's gaze followed its ascent.

At that moment, it seemed that no matter the age or gender, everyone saw only that touch of red and no other color.

Even among the many people in the square, their expressions were solemn and excited, yet no one made a sound. Yun Jiao felt a sense of unity she had never experienced before.

This...is truly a magical, yet fascinating country.

This was an experience that the merfolk, who had always lived alone, had never had before.

Perhaps influenced by it, without realizing it, a bright red also appeared in Yun Jiao's clear and bright eyes.

After the flag-raising ceremony, everyone left reluctantly, still wanting more.

So many people, willing to sleep here at night, gathered together just to catch a glimpse of that bright red color rising high.

No one complained; everyone's eyes were filled with smiles.

but……

There were too many people, and everyone was so focused on the flag-raising ceremony that Yun Jiao and Yun Lin Hai, who was holding her, got separated from the others.

He was so anxious he was scratching his head and ears.

Most importantly, at this crucial moment, Yun Linhai needed to urinate.

The eldest man, his face flushed, held Yun Jiao, somewhat at a loss.

Finally, he saw a few soldiers on guard duty and quickly went over to them.

"Comrade, please help me watch my child. We've gotten separated from our family, and I'm currently..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Linhai left Yun Jiao behind and quickly ran away.

Yun Jiao: ? ? ?
"Jiaojiao, wait for your father to come back!"

Yun Jiao was left standing there staring at the two soldiers on guard.

After a moment, Yun Jiao realized her situation and raised her tender little paws to greet the two of them.

"Hello, brothers."

The two men remained silent, their bodies ramrod straight. Although they glanced at her, they mostly kept their eyes fixed straight ahead.

Yun Jiao didn't mind and squatted down next to them.

The combination of a tough guy and an adorable child has attracted a lot of attention.

People with cameras pointed them at them and started snapping away.

Yun Chenbei was also scattered by the current and happened to walk over here.

The moment I saw it, I instinctively raised my camera and took a picture. Then, belatedly, I realized, "Isn't that his sister?!"

"Beautiful!"

Yun Chenbei ran over, and one of the soldiers on guard looked at him sharply and raised his hand to stop him from getting closer.

"stop."

Yun Chenbei stopped abruptly.

Yun Jiao was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Fourth brother!"

The soldier on guard, recognizing them, went back to his post.

Yun Chenbei then walked over somewhat awkwardly, glanced at the two soldiers on guard, squatted down and asked Yun Jiao.

"Why are you here?"

Yun Jiao held his hand and said, "Father went to the toilet and left me here."

Yun Chenbei understood; indeed, in terms of safety, there seemed to be no safer place than here.

"Then let's wait here for Uncle."

So, instead of Yun Jiao squatting alone, there were two of them.

Both of them rested their chins on their hands.

After returning from Yunlinhai, he expressed his special gratitude to the two soldiers on guard duty before leaving with his daughter and nephew.

"Goodbye, big brothers~"

Yun Jiao now understands a little why so many people like soldiers.
