More than an hour later, although it was not dark yet, the sun had almost completely set.
On the beach, the friends cheered in unison. The watchtower they made was successfully completed.
Originally, Sun Dahai was going to lead everyone to build a small house, but as soon as he told the story, everyone thought the small house was too simple. Sun Dahai followed his example and changed the small house into a watchtower.
The enemy tower, also called the Qiao tower, is a tower on the ancient city wall that was used to defend against enemies. It was used for commanding, observing, delivering orders, and placing ordnance materials for each section of the city guard. In normal times, it was used for the patrols of the city guards to shelter from the wind and rain and rest. It is a
A facility to enhance the defense of the city wall.
The most common ones are the watchtowers on the Great Wall. Someone once jokingly said that the Great Wall consists of countless watchtowers connected by walls.
Whether visiting in person or in movies and TV series, people can see that there are various watchtowers of different styles on the Great Wall, which is simply a complete collection of ancient watchtowers.
Due to the short time, unsatisfactory sand quality, unfamiliar cooperation and other reasons, the first attempt failed shortly after the start. What is now completed is their second work.
This work can only be regarded as barely completed. Looking from a distance with a purely amateur and encouraging eye, this watchtower is quite decent, but only from a distance, and when you get closer, you will find that there are a lot of problems.
Somewhat terrible.
Sun Dahai sighed secretly, but his friends were extremely excited. Even Xia Tiantian, who was relatively the most mature, was jumping up and down with sand all over her body, smiling so much that her molars were exposed.
Yes, in Sun Dahai's eyes, the most mature one here is Xia Tiantian. Maybe it's because she has learned to play tricks.
Ma Jian, the oldest, seems to be a bit unbalanced in his development. More of the nutrients he consumes daily are sent to the cerebellum.
However, no matter Xia Tiantian, Ma Jian, or the youngest Hu Lei and Hu Miao, there is not much arrogance and coquettishness in their bodies. With their status as the third generation of red people, compared with the bad habits of the lower-class officials in their previous lives,
, they are all considered good children.
Auntie Xiao Wang asked from the side: "The watchtower you made is so beautiful. Do you want to take a photo with it as a souvenir?"
This is a good idea. Sun Dahai doesn't like taking pictures, so he didn't think about it. But there are many people who like taking pictures now.
Look, after hearing Aunt Xiao Wang's proposal, the friends looked expectantly, and Sun Dahai knew what they wanted in their hearts.
Fortunately, Aunt Xiao Wang suggested it early, otherwise it would be difficult to take pictures when it gets dark a little later.
Auntie Xiao Wang quickly went to find their team leader. The technology of point-and-shoot cameras is not yet mature and is basically unavailable in China. Taking pictures requires some skills. You have to manually adjust the aperture, shutter, etc.
Whenever there is an event in the Logistics Department, a person who can take photos will be sent along with a camera and film to take pictures. This time the accompanying photographer is the team leader himself.
The team leader quickly followed Xiao Wang to the beach. At this time, there were a few more people on the beach.
…
After Taizong arrived, he simply ate some porridge and took a lunch break. As people get older, they sleep less. He rested for half an hour and then got up to review documents.
After finally finishing all the work, Taizong, accompanied by the health doctor and secretary, walked to the terrace outside the house and sat on a lounge chair to rest.
The terrace faces the sea, which is an excellent location. Under the gentle sea breeze, the shimmering sea reflects the last ray of the sunset, making it look golden.
Taizong's eyes seemed to open and close, as if he had merged into nature, and his body and mind were greatly relaxed.
A burst of laughter came over, but Da Zong didn't move at all. The secretary walked to the terrace and looked down. He turned back and said to Taizong with a smile: "It's the children brought by Mr. Huang and others who are piling sand on the beach below.
Playing."
The setting sun, the sea breeze, the sea, the beach, and the innocent laughter of the children. Unconsciously, Taizong was childlike. He stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk on the beach too."
…
Since we plan to take pictures, let’s make the watch tower look better. Sun Dahai led a few older children and were still making trouble around the watch tower.
Four five-year-old children completely let themselves go and played crazy on the beach.
Since her brother didn't need them now, Sun Yuanyuan took a few children and raced on one side first. When they got tired, she and Sun Dahe taught the Hu brothers and sisters how to do forward rolls.
The beach was soft, and it didn't hurt at all when they fell on it. Sun Yuanyuan rolled around, and when she looked up, she saw an old man looking at them kindly.
"Ah, it's Grandpa Deng. Hello Grandpa Deng."
Sun Yuanyuan, with sharp eyes and quick mouth, was the first to call out.
She was wearing a tank top and shorts, with bare feet, and two ponytails tied with rubber bands on her head. Under her long eyelashes, she had a pair of big eyes, very cute.
He was covered in sand and water, making him look dirty and pitiful.
Taizong knelt down, brushed the sand off Sun Yuanyuan's body, and asked: "Little Yuanyuan, why did you become such a dirty little kid? Your brother doesn't care about you either?"
"My brother is taking them to build a small building. My brother said that the sand here is soft, and there are uncles and aunts who take care of us around, as well as uncles and guards. We can play as much as we want, as long as we don't let the sand get into our eyes."
While Taizong and Sun Yuanyuan were talking, all the children, including Sun Dahai, gathered around and stood aside to listen to them.
"Really?" Taizong raised his head, found Sun Dahai, and said to him: "Dahai, you are very confident about your brothers and sisters."
Sun Dahai quickly replied: "Grandpa Deng, it's not that I don't worry about them, but the conditions here are really good, safe and comfortable, and there are many uncles and aunts taking care of them. How can there be such an environment in the capital where they can let them go?"
Let’s play.”
Taizong smiled and said: "Little guy, what you said makes sense. These little ones are playing, what are you doing?"
"We all worked together to make a sand sculpture of a watchtower, and we are doing the final touches. Grandpa Deng, please help us take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it."
"Okay, let me take a look. But what does sand sculpture mean?"
"Sand sculpture is a foreign name. It uses sand and water as basic materials to make various shapes for people to appreciate. Simply put, it turns piles of sand from a game into art."
"Haha, Dahai knows a lot. Did you hear it in Xiangjiang?"
"Yes, there are a lot of newspapers in Xiangjiang, and they contain a lot of weird content. Unfortunately, they are all in traditional Chinese characters, which looks very tired. It happened that this news article had photos, so I read it."
Sun Dahai knew that if he went to the sanatorium with Taizong this time, his situation must have been investigated early.
However, after a few explanations about the sand sculpture, Taizong could think that he knew it when he was crossing Xiangjiang. The old man's memory and logical thinking ability still made him a little stunned.
Fortunately, Taizong didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and, surrounded by everyone, walked to the front of the sand sculpture watchtower.
