Chapter 178(1/2)
Had a restful sleep.
When having breakfast in the cafeteria, Fang Xin had completely regained his energy and had a great appetite.
Fang Nian thought to himself, "Could it be that Fang Xin gained a few pounds during this trip?"
After breakfast, around eight or nine o'clock.
Still carrying Fang Nian's backpack, Lin Feng took Fang Xin and left the hotel to go to Tiananmen Square.
Although today is Monday, the old man's wish came true because the Great Man Memorial Hall is open every day from July 1 to August 31.
Fang Nian kept his backpack, camera and other items on the east side of Tiananmen Square in accordance with the instructions for paying homage.
"Be quiet and don't talk..."
"Be careful when walking..."
Before entering, Lin Feng warned Fang Xin.
A group of people passed the security check and entered empty-handed.
The hall is the place where visitors can pay their respects and hold commemorative ceremonies.
In the center is a white marble seated statue of a great man, showing the kind, kind and lifelike image of the leader.
In the background is a majestic and huge velvet embroidery mural "The Motherland", showing the splendid rivers and mountains of the great motherland.
The viewing hall is in the middle and is a place to pay homage to the remains of great men.
The tourists and friends who came in to pay their respects all had solemn faces and almost no words.
Fang Nian's grandmother stopped for a long time. She had never read a few big characters in her life, but her admiration for the great man radiated from deep in her heart.
As she watched, tears suddenly filled her eyes.
Calculated by age, the old man was born before the founding of New China and has experienced many difficult years.
Perhaps only the older generation like them can deeply understand what great men have brought to them.

Fang Nian went to get the items from his backpack and gave Fang Xin some water: "Drink some water first."
Then he looked at Lin Feng and the others: "There is no restaurant in the Forbidden City. Now we are queuing up to get in. It will take one or two o'clock to come out. I will buy some bread and milk to take inside."
"At that time, we will come out from the back door, deal with it casually, and then have a big meal in the evening. Then I will ask Li Annan and the others if they are still in the capital. If they are, we will eat together."
It's past ten o'clock now. I'm queuing up to buy tickets and it's almost noon.
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
When he arrived at the Beijing Hotel last night, Fang Nian went to the 7th floor of Tower C in advance to make a reservation for tonight's banquet.
They all stayed at the Beijing Hotel, so how could Fang Nian let his family miss the famous Tan's cuisine?
Lin Feng and the others had no objection to Fang Nian's arrangements.
While queuing up to buy tickets, Fang Nian was playing with his phone and then saw the relevant news.
He quickly told Lin Feng: "Mom, the score line for Fudan is out."
"Xiangchu Science 100% admission score is 641 points."
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, his face instantly became excited, and he said proudly: "With this score, it's a piece of cake!"
"Fang Zhengguo, did you hear that?"
Fang Zhengguo nodded repeatedly.
Then I became more interested in traveling.
In two lifetimes combined, Fang Nian visited the Forbidden City for the second time.
His definition of enjoying the scenery is relatively simple. No matter how famous it is, only go there once if it is not necessary.
After checking in, Fang Xin whispered: "Wow, this is inside the palace!"
"I know, this is what's on TV."
"..."
Even Lin Feng thought so and looked at Fang Nian curiously: "Then can we meet someone who is filming?"
Fang Zhengguo and the old man also looked over.
Although the old man has almost never watched TV, he has still heard about it.
Fang Nian explained: "Normally, this place is not used for filming. Most of the time, palace scenes are filmed in the film and television city in Zhejiang Province, where there are palaces built there."
"oh……"
"..."
According to the signs, after entering, we first climbed the tower.
Then go back layer by layer.
Everywhere he went, Fang Nian would take photos of Fang Xin.
This large palace covering an area of more than a thousand acres has witnessed a lot of history. Although Fang Xin cannot appreciate the rich flavor here, she is the happiest.
Unlike Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng who occasionally express emotions.
As they were walking, Fang Nian's grandmother suddenly said: "Hey, there are people from Tongfeng talking in front of you. You can also meet people from Tongfeng in the capital!"
Fang Nian looked around and saw the back of a familiar head.
Fang Nian smiled and shouted: "Annan!"
A year has passed, and Li Annan still has a short haircut similar to a mohawk, and is still very muscular, with muscles all over his body.
Hearing Fang Nian's shout, Li Annan quickly turned around and said in surprise: "Old Fang, you are here in the capital too!"
"Hey! I didn't expect that we would meet in the Forbidden City."
"..."
Then the two groups of people got together and introduced each other.
Li Annan came to Beijing with his mother Chen Aixiu, but his father did not come.
According to what Li Annan said, Fang Nian knew that they actually set off a day late, and probably arrived in the capital on the evening of the 10th.
Because we travel by train, it takes thirty hours to get from Tongfeng to Beijing.
I didn’t update anything the day before yesterday, and I don’t know what attractions I went to.
You must know that in addition to the Forbidden City, the capital also has famous places such as Badaling Great Wall...
The elders exchange their own stories.
Li Annan couldn't wait to share his itinerary with Fang Nian.
"Lao Fang, you don't even know that I can't use data on my mobile phone when I leave the province. Making calls is so expensive. After arriving in Beijing, I don't even dare to make calls. Long distance and roaming cost two or three yuan a minute."
"We climbed the Badaling Great Wall early the day before yesterday. We climbed for a whole day, and we were exhausted when we came back."
"Fortunately, my mother brought a camera and took a lot of photos. Yesterday we went to Xiangshan and the Summer Palace..."
"When did you come to the capital?"
"..."
Fang Nian replied: "I just came here last night."
"..."
Li Annan was so excited about meeting an old friend in a foreign country that he almost turned into a chatterbox.
"Where are you going tomorrow? Do you want me to tell you about the Great Wall..."
"I'd better tell you..."
Fang Nian listened to Li Annan's bald talk with a smile on his face.
Occasionally I would pick up the camera and take two pictures of Li Annan, but mainly I would take pictures of Fang Xin.
I've only walked half of the Forbidden City, and the memory card I just replaced last night has been used up.
Be well prepared and don’t feel timid at all.
At around twelve o'clock at noon, the two families found a pavilion to rest for a while and ate some bread, milk, etc. they had brought in.
Li Annan complained: "This bread tastes terrible. How did you buy it?"
After hearing these words, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
Yes, superiority.
She said very politely: "Come on, Annan, come and eat this."
"This is delicious. I bought it from Fang Nian."
