Chapter 775 Proposal!
Tantai Yunshu is indeed not very comfortable.
However, not on the bones of the body that have begun to age.
In the heart.
"Uncle, do you have anything to do with me? If you have any questions, let Mingyue tell me and I will take care of it for you. Then you have to come here in person!" Tang Dao said to Lao Tantai, who was walking into the house alone. Said with a smile.
There was no way, not to mention that this uncle was Tantai Mingyue's father and his future father-in-law, just because he sent nearly 100,000 silver dollars from thousands of miles away, the smile on Tang Dao's face couldn't help it. Minus, no matter how bad this uncle looks.
"During this period, I will accompany your group of four to Zhengzhou. Just take this time to find a day to get married to Mingyue!" The handsome middle-aged man who walked into the room did not answer Tang Dao's words. He found a chair to sit down on his own, and then hummed softly and said.
"Huh?" Tang Dao opened his mouth involuntarily.
He thought that the old man was unhappy with him for various reasons, and he also thought that he would be arranged to do some complicated things, but the fact that he was asked to get engaged was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Furthermore, the person who said this was the woman's parent, an old man who is traditional to the core. Even in the future, doesn't it have to be the man who proposes an engagement?
"Ah what! Why, you guys are not happy yet!" Tantai Yunshu raised his eyebrows when he saw Tang Dao's stupid look.
To be honest, although Tantai Yunshu is traditional, he is definitely not pedantic. Tang Dao's family background may not be as rich as his Tantai family, but Tang Dao is good enough and has talent in his heart. The saying "The night gave me darkness" Eyes, but I used them to search for the light. I just made him, an old talent who had read poetry for many years, feel excited all night. He was a first-class warrior in killing enemies on the battlefield. He was already a full-time colonel at a young age. His daughter was very fond of him. They are deeply affectionate, and even a picky person like Lao Tantai can't find anything wrong with Tang Dao.
But for some reason, Tantai Yunshu just didn't like Tang Dao, especially when he saw his daughter smiling happily when she looked at him, the dislike became even stronger.
Now, I have violated the rules of my ancestors and proposed to get engaged. What do you mean when you open your hippopotamus mouth and say "ah"?
Of course the middle-aged handsome guy has to raise his eyebrows.
Let Lao Tantai take the initiative to propose an engagement, but he was really helpless.
After arriving, the middle-aged handsome man drank a few sips of hot tea and ate a few cakes under the service of the little cotton-padded jacket. The old bones that were almost falling apart after jolting for nearly a hundred kilometers on the carriage finally recovered.
The entanglement in my heart has also eased.
He naturally believes what Xiaomianyao said, but if it's not there now, it doesn't mean it won't be in the future.
Lao Tantai was a man who was familiar with history books. He knew astronomy and geography from the top to bottom, and he had sufficient research on human nature.
The war is now in chaos. Once on the battlefield, there will be today and no tomorrow. The two young people who are passionate about each other may choose to spend their youth wantonly because of the threat of the giant beast of war.
Of course, if you lose the battle, you won't say it. Everyone is done with it, but what if you win? Once this bottom line is exceeded, and young people are greedy for pleasure, the possibility of the fat grandson arriving before the engagement is higher than 80%.
And his Tantai family is a prominent family in Jiangnan. If the legitimate daughter of the family gives birth to a son out of wedlock, if this news spreads, how many members of the famous Tantai family in Jiangnan will be able to go out to meet people?
It was already impossible to take his daughter away, and the chance of being 'dangerous' by staying with Tang Dao was extremely high. The distressed old Tantai, who was pacing alone in the room, almost went crazy.
The old book boy who had been with him for many years understood him and whispered the suggestion that Tang Dao and his lady should get engaged first, which made Tantai Yunshu make up his mind.
Although they are engaged but not married, according to Chinese tradition, the two are an unmarried couple. Even if they get married with a big fat baby, it will be delayed by the war. People will only envy him for having a great military exploits and protecting the family. The country sacrificed the daughter and son-in-law of Xiaojia, but would not laugh at him because Tantai Yunshu had no tutor.
I think I have thought about it, just thinking that my father-in-law will take the initiative to propose an engagement, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable, and my face will naturally not look good.
Finally, when he saw what he had said, Tang Dao was not only happy, but also looked frightened. That anger was not worth it!
The middle-aged handsome guy also knew that he could not defeat the brave young man in front of him, otherwise he would have hit him with a kick.
"No, no, ever since he and his daughter fought side by side on the anti-Japanese battlefield, Tang Dao has gradually fallen in love with her and has been unable to let go of her since then. If he can stay with her in this life, it will be Tang Dao's luck!"
This should be the first time that Tang Dao has spoken so formally to another person about his feelings for Tantai Mingyue.
These words, he didn't even say them to Tantai Mingyue.
Those who are familiar with Tang Dao know that he is brave and wise, and there is no lack of "cunning" in the evaluation of him by Guo and Wu. If these qualities are placed in love, he will be a prodigal in love.
However, Tang Dao is a bit of a straight man in love. No matter how much he falls in love with her, he rarely says those sweet words that make women's hearts flutter. His love has always been expressed through actions.
If Tantai Mingyue is in danger, he will go through fire and water to save her, but if he is allowed to say those sour words, it will be really difficult.
This may be a certain trait created by the profession of a soldier, and it does not only exist in Tang Dao.
Hearing what Tang Dao said sincerely, Tantai Yunshu's expression couldn't help but soften.
As a father, he never asks for the excellence of the lover his daughter chooses. He only asks his daughter to trust no one else. Having someone who loves her one-third as much as he does is already a luxury.
Tantai Mingyue, who had just hurriedly walked into the courtyard and was standing in the courtyard, was even more crazy when she heard what Tang Dao said from inside the house.
Tough men attract women, but tenderness is the most deadly weapon of a tough man.
"If you are willing, it will be much easier. I, Tantai Yunshu, know that the mountains and rivers are in trouble now. As a soldier of the country, serving the country should be your top priority. There is no need for those red tapes. Find a suitable and safe place. , with me, the father, as my personal witness, you two have decided to get married, and I can leave with peace of mind." Tantai Yunshu nodded and said softly.
“I'm sorry, Uncle Tantai, we can't decide on this marriage.” Tang Dao took a deep breath and shook his head firmly.
"You" Tantai Yunshu obviously didn't expect such a big turn when Tang Dao changed hands, and he couldn't help being frightened and angry.
“Uncle Tantai, listen to me, I have a thousand wishes to marry Mingyue, but uncle, you also know that at this time, the Japanese invaders are rampant and are constantly increasing their troops to attack our country. As a soldier, I must move forward bravely.
As the saying goes, if the earthen jar is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die in battle! In this kind of national war, let alone a mere colonel in the army, even a lieutenant general and a general would most likely return home wrapped in horse leather and corpses! Mingyue is just a woman in her early 20s, and she is betrothed to me, Tang Dao. If I, Tang Dao, die on the front line one day, she will be known as a widow, and her youth has just begun. How can I bear it? "Tang Dao explained hurriedly.
"You said that?" Tantai Yunshu couldn't help but stroke his long beard under his chin. In fact, everything Tang Dao said makes sense. If we get engaged, soldiers like Tang Dao must have been fighting on the front line for a long time. The Japanese army's offensive is fierce, and the Chinese army is at a disadvantage. The chance of dying in battle is higher than 50%. , which also means that before the beloved daughter gets married, she is very likely to be called a widow. This is of course extremely unfair to a woman who has just started her life.
Undoubtedly, Tang Dao who said this made Tantai Yunshu more happy than the almost brilliant excellence he showed.
Loving someone is easy, but being able to put the interests of the other person above your own feelings is the most difficult.
“Abba, please don't embarrass Tang Dao, okay?” Tantai Mingyue walked into the room and looked at Tantai Yunshu with tears in her eyes.
“Tang Dao and I met and fell in love on the battlefield. Although he never said how he fell in love with me, I know him!
From Songjiang to Jiashan and then Jiaxing to Guangde, we were in the same army, and we only had very little time to see each other. Even when we ate, we had to eat with our brothers in the army, but I never blamed him.
Because I know that the Japanese invaders invaded our land, and millions of people were wailing in the flames of war. Children lost their parents, wives lost their husbands, and the bayonets of the Japanese invaders were stained with the blood of our Chinese people. As a soldier of the country, he should shoulder his responsibilities. What does the love of a mere son and daughter mean in the face of such a big event?
With your reputation and family wealth, of course your daughter can return home, at least she will not suffer from the wind and sun. But my daughter chose to stay here precisely because she had seen too many soldiers of the country sacrifice their lives for righteousness in order to resist powerful enemies.
Abba! Have you ever seen those soldiers hiding in the rubble with grenades strapped to their bodies? I have seen that because the Japanese tanks are so fierce, they can only and must turn themselves into movable bombs, but even so, the chance of success is only one in ten. In order to blow up a Japanese tank, it often takes a More than a dozen brothers in the infantry squad were turned into ashes, and not even their corpses could be left behind.
Abba! Have you ever seen corpses lying on the battlefield with almost no survivors? I have seen. In order to prevent the Japanese invaders from attacking an infantry brigade and two infantry regiments, nearly 200 soldiers of an infantry company risked their lives and took the struggle for an inch of land to the extreme. In the end, only one soldier was dug out from the buried floating soil to survive. His back was so lonely that it was heartbreaking. "
Tantai Yunshu heard the tragic battlefield described by his beloved daughter. Even though he had experienced decades of life, his body could not help but tremble slightly.
Tantai Mingyue looked at Tang Dao with tenderness in her eyes: "Tang Dao, don't have any psychological burden. I hope you know that my father also loves his daughter very much. You are a soldier, so just do your duty as a soldier. As for you, You two, you should understand that if you die, I will continue to fight with the gun you left behind until the war is won!"
This kind of 'if you die, I will continue to fulfill your dream! '-style confession of love on the battlefield was far more fiery than the so-called vows of eternal love, burning so hard that the eyes of a tough man like Tang Dao were slightly red.
Having such a true love in my life, even if I die now, it is still worth it!
"Hey! Dear girl, you don't have to say any more! I understand everything you said." Tantai Yunshu sighed and tore off a few beards. "That's all, that's all. It's up to you to decide what's going on with you young people! I won't mention these things again in the future."
Tantai Yunshu knew that both his daughter and Tang Dao were young people with strong ideas. Both of them had their own determination for the future. If he insisted on some of his traditional ideas, he would probably end up causing more trouble than more gain. Disgusted.
However, thinking about how long his daughter would have to live without knowing what to do with her today, or even that her life would be tied to another man who had no relationship with her, the old father felt extremely sad in his heart. He turned around and thought When I left, my nose felt sore and I was already in tears.
Looking at the old man's somewhat forlorn figure leaving the room and walking into the courtyard, Tang Dao, who had been silent, grabbed the tearful Tantai Mingyue's hand.
"It doesn't matter! My father is an open-minded person. He will soon figure it out and understand you and me." Tantai Mingyue tried his best to smile and comfort Tang Dao.
Tang Dao shook his head slightly, with determination in his eyes, and pulled Tantai Mingyue, who was confused, out of the room.
“Uncle Tantai, please stay!”
Tantai Yunshu wiped the corners of his eyes with the corner of his sleeve to prevent his embarrassment from being seen by Tang Dao, the bastard, and then turned around.
Then, he saw Tang Dao, dressed in military uniform, standing next to his somewhat bewildered daughter, raising his right hand in a solemn military salute.
"Tang Dao of the Fourth Army Regiment of the 43rd Army has admired Ms. Tantai Mingyue for a long time and has been favored by Ms. Tantai Mingyue. Both parties are in love and have specially proposed marriage to the Tantai family. I hope they will approve it. If it can be approved, Tang Dao will be grateful! When the war is won, I will serve Ms. Tantai Mingyue's parents as my parents!”
This time, it was Tantai Yunshu's turn to open his mouth.
What's going on? Just now, this guy refused with extremely righteous words, and the reason was irresistible. Why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye?
"Uncle Tantai, please agree. I have decided not to marry anyone other than Ms. Tantai Mingyue in this life!" Tang Dao continued.
"What are you?" Tantai Yunshu came back to his senses and asked hesitantly.
"I really thought too much just now, but after Mingyue said it, I also understand Mingyue's intention. Since she has treated me like this, how can Tang Dao let her down? I also ask Uncle Tantai to betroth Mingyue to me. I will treat her wholeheartedly." Tang Dao looked at Tantai Mingyue beside him, his eyes gentle but firm.
What Tantai Mingyue said just now was meant for her old father. In fact, it was also meant for Tang Dao. It was to tell Tang Dao that since she has committed her heart to you, she will always be by your side, no matter whether you are born or not. die.
Such a deep and profound friendship, but Tang Dao still refuses because of the uncertainty of life and death in the future. That is really a betrayal of the deep affection!
“Okay! I agree!” The handsome middle-aged man had a smile on his face and stretched his hand forward. "The rest of the etiquette is disrespectful, but you must give this gift to me!"
Tang Dao groped around his body quickly, but except for the jade-cap pen given by Tantai Mingyue, there was nothing else on him.
It was Tantai Mingyue who rescued him, pulled out the Browning pistol from his waist, and said shyly: "Abba, Tang Dao gave me this gun many days ago. Things!”
The middle-aged handsome man grinned and looked at Tang Dao, only to see Tang Dao shyly take out the jade pen he gave to his beloved daughter as a sixteenth birthday gift.
Honestly, the two of them have already exchanged wedding gifts in private.
This old man is just worrying here.
So redundant! This is the only mood of the middle-aged handsome man at this time.
"Then you drink with me tonight! I want to see how much my future son-in-law can drink! Atai and I will drink with you! No one else is allowed to disturb me while we wait!" Tantai Yunshu felt evil for a moment. feeling.
“Okay!” Tang Dao agreed.
Tantai Mingyue looked at her two most beloved men, her eyes full of worry!
PS: Something happened today, so the update is late, please don't blame me!
