However, not on the bones of the body that have begun to age.
In my 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 could not be
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 make an appointment with Mingyue!" The handsome middle-aged man who walked into the room did not answer Tang Dao's words.
He found a chair and sat down on his own, then hummed softly and said.
"Ah?" 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.
Moreover, the person who said this was the woman’s parent, an old man who is traditional to the core. Even in the future, the man must propose the 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 use them to search for the light. I just made him, an old talent who has read poetry for many years, feel excited all night. He is a first-class warrior in killing enemies on the battlefield. He is already a full-time colonel commander at a young age. His daughter is very fond of him.
He is also very affectionate, and even a picky person like Lao Tantai cannot 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, this 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 handsome middle-aged guy has to raise his eyebrows.
It was really helpless for Lao Tantai to propose the engagement.
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 on the carriage for nearly a hundred kilometers finally recovered.
The entanglement in my heart was relieved.
Of course he believed what Little Cotton Jacket said, but if it wasn't there now, it didn't mean it wouldn't be there in the future.
Lao Tantai was a man who was familiar with history books. He knew a lot about astronomy and geography, and he had enough research on human nature.
The war is now in chaos. Once on the battlefield, there is no tomorrow but today. The two young people who are deeply in love with each other may choose to spend their youth wantonly because of the threat of the giant beast of war.
Naturally, there is no mention of losing the battle. Everyone has finished the game, but what if they win? Once this bottom line is exceeded, and the 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 the south of the Yangtze River. If the legitimate daughter in the family has a son out of wedlock, if this news gets out, how many members of the famous Tantai family in the south of the Yangtze River will be able to go out to meet people?
It was 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.
It was the old scholar who had been with him for many years who 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 the small family, but would not laugh at him because Tantai Yunshu had no tutor.
I think I've thought about it, just thinking that my father-in-law is going to take the initiative to propose an engagement, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable, and my face will naturally not look good.
As a result, 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 couldn't do anything to 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 great fortune!"
This should be the first time that Tang Dao has spoken formally to another person about his feelings for Tantai Mingyue.
He never said these words even to Tantai Mingyue.
Anyone who is familiar with Tang Dao knows that he is brave and wise, and there is no lack of the word "cunning" in Guo and Wu's evaluation of him. If these qualities are placed in love, he will be a prodigal in love.
However, in love, Tang Dao was a bit straight. No matter how much he fell in love with her, he rarely said those sweet words that would make a woman's heart flutter. His love was always expressed through actions.
If Tantai Mingyue was in danger, he would go through fire and water to save her, but if he were to say those sour words, it would 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 for his daughter to have no one else to rely on. Having someone who loves her one-third as much as he does is already a luxury.
And Tantai Mingyue, who had just hurriedly walked into the courtyard and was standing in the courtyard, was a little crazy when she heard what Tang Dao said from inside the house.
A tough guy attracts women, but tenderness is the most deadly weapon of a tough guy.
"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. It is my wish 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 an earthen pot is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die in battle! In this kind of national war, let alone a mere army colonel, even a lieutenant general and a general will most likely return home wrapped in horse leather! Mingyue is just a woman in her early 20s.
, and I, Tang Dao, are engaged to be engaged. If I, Tang Dao, die on the front line one day, she will be called 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 stroking 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 5%.
10. That 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 other person's interests 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 from Jiaxing to Guangde, we were in the same army and 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 an army of the country, he
He should shoulder his responsibilities, and the mere love between children, what does it 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 be exposed to the wind and sun. But her daughter chooses to stay here precisely because she has seen too many soldiers of the country fighting against powerful enemies.
Sacrifice one's life for righteousness.
Dad! Have you ever seen those soldiers hiding in the ruins with grenades strapped to their bodies? I have seen it. Because the Japanese tanks were so fierce, they could only and had to turn themselves into movable bombs, but even so, success
The chance is only one in ten. In order to blow up a Japanese tank, more than a dozen brothers in an infantry squad were often reduced to fly ash, not even the corpses were left behind.
Dad! Have you ever seen corpses lying in the wilderness on the entire battlefield with almost no survivors? I have seen it. In order to stop the Japanese invaders from attacking an infantry brigade and two infantry regiments, nearly 200 soldiers of an infantry company sacrificed their lives.
Death takes 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."
When 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,
Between the two of us, you should understand that if you die, I will continue to fight with the gun you left behind until the war is won! When the time comes, I will go find you."
This kind of "die, I will continue to fulfill your dream!" type of confession of love on the battlefield is far more intense than the so-called oath of eternal love, burning so hard that the eyes of a tough man like Tang Dao are reddish.
Having such a true love in my life is still worth it even if I die now!
"Hey! Dear girl, you don't need to say any more! I understand everything you said." Tantai Yunshu sighed and tore off a few beards. "That's it, that's all. The affairs of you young people are up to you.
Make your own decisions! I will never mention these things again."
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 his daughter who does not know how long her life will last tomorrow, or even that her life will be tied to another man who has 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.
Seeing the old man's somewhat forlorn figure leaving the room and walking into the courtyard, Tang Dao, who had been silent all this time, grabbed the hand of Tantai Mingyue, whose eyes were filled with tears.
"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 with each other and specially proposed to the Tantai family in hopes of approval. If approved, Tang Dao would be grateful!
When the war is won, I will serve Ms. Tantai Mingyue as my parents! This will not change in this life!"
This time, it was Tantai Yunshu's turn to open his mouth.
What's going on? Just now, this guy refused very righteously, 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 intentions. 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 live or not.
die.
For Tang Dao to refuse such a deep and deep friendship because of the uncertainty of his future life and death, it is really a betrayal of the deep love!
"Okay! I agree!" A smile appeared on the middle-aged handsome man's face, and he stretched his hand forward. "The rest of the etiquette is disrespectful, but this gift is for me!"
Tang Dao quickly groped around on his body, but there was nothing else except the jade-cap pen given by Tantai Mingyue.
It was Tantai Mingyue who relieved him, pulled out the Browning pistol from his waist, and said a little shyly: "Abba, Tang Dao gave me this gun many days ago, and the right to do so has been decided."
Things!"
The handsome middle-aged 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.
I'm sorry, the two of them have already exchanged wedding gifts in private.
It's just him, an old man, worrying about things 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!...
