When Xu Changlin came to propose to the old captain the next day, half of the Hulun people came, it is said that this is a tradition in their clan, and everything is sent together.
Suddenly, a courtyard was filled with lively people, but the old captain still felt that something was wrong. "Tang Tang, don't you wait for your parents to come over?"
It stands to reason that such a thing must be done in the presence of the elders of the woman's family, and he is definitely not a serious person.
But Tang Tang had already made up his mind, and said with a smile: "Old captain, don't worry, I have already sent a telegram to my family, and they will arrive in a few days." Today, it's just a matter of going through the process first, so please help me with the palm of my hand. ”
The old captain took a heavy puff of soil and dry tobacco, nodded and took the burden, but said: "You are both familiar with each other, I don't say a word, I just hope that you can live a good life in the future." ”
What he said was sincere, Tang Tang couldn't help but be a little moved, she had been in Niujiatun for seven or eight years, all relying on the old captain's care. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration that the old captain can be regarded as half of her elders.
Immediately, she nodded earnestly.
The old captain bowed his head slightly in satisfaction, and a smile slowly appeared on his withered face, reminding her: "Don't forget, you still have to report to the top." You are not under the control of our forest farm now, and you will have to report to the school and the street when you go back, and this matter must not be sloppy. ”
He didn't mention it, Tang Tang almost forgot about this matter, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, old captain, I'll go through the formalities when I go back this time." ”
She is as good as a stream, and the old captain naturally has nothing to say, watching Xu Changlin lead people to unload truckloads of items outside, she can't help but feel a little emotional.
After so many years, it's a good thing that these two people can finally come together, it's really not easy.
Many people in Niujiatun also know their situation, so they can help the handle when they get together, and they all have a blessed smile on their faces. Only Niu Chunlai was extremely sullen, standing on the periphery of the crowd with an elongated face, and gave a jealous look at the two of them.
Her mother couldn't help but squeeze her arm fiercely, and whispered comfortingly: "But quickly put away the expression on your face, let people see it and cause another gossip." ”
But Niu Chunlai couldn't get over that level in his heart, and instantly said with half grievances and half tears in his eyes: "Mother, you don't know that the two of them have already gotten better, and they still pretend to have nothing to do with each other outside, isn't this disgusting!" ”
Hearing that her voice was slightly raised, and the people around her were shocked, her mother couldn't help but slap her on the back fiercely, "Are you still finished?" What are you doing when the two of you get better, that's one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. ”
"I ...... I'm not convinced! Niu Chunlai stomped his feet and said fiercely, looking at the baskets of dried meat, furs and living animals in the middle of the yard, he couldn't help but feel jealous, and resented Tang Tang for robbing him of his good marriage.
Seeing that she couldn't turn her mind around, Niu Chunlai's mother was also very angry, and immediately dragged her arm to pull people away, but she didn't want people to see jokes.
Xu Changlin, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard, didn't notice this at all, and all his thoughts were on today's big event. There was less coldness and chill on his face, but more confusion and inexplicable confusion.
Even the surrounding villagers joked to him.
"Yo, you two kids are finally done!"
"That is to say, Changlin, this girl Tang Tang has been waiting for you for so many years, you must not let her down!"
"Yes, it's not easy to have a girl do this for you, but you have to live a good life in the future!"
Although the words spoken by the people in the village were a little unfamiliar, when they heard Xu Changlin's ears today, there was a little less resistance, and they were inexplicably familiar and moved. He nodded slightly, and his fellow clansmen walked into the door of the old captain's house with a big burden.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the old captain and his sons were full of kangs, and there was no trace of Tang Tang.
He wasn't worried, and said directly to the old captain: "Old captain, I'm here to propose today." ”
The old captain took a silent puff of dry cigarettes, and instead of immediately agreeing to him, he asked him, "Did you really want to propose marriage yourself?" He asked this strangely, but considering the current situation of Xu Changlin's amnesia, he had to ask a question, so as not to turn around and make a contradiction.
Xu Changlin nodded affirmatively, "Yes." ”
The old captain relieved his heart and smiled on his face, "That's good." Tang Tang's parents haven't arrived yet, so today I'll ask you to help the two of you talk about your family. ”
Hearing him say this, Xu Changlin of course responded.
He has come to Niujiatun many times since he was a child, and the people in the village are all familiar with each other, of course, he already knows his temperament and how he behaves. Therefore, the old captain didn't give him much embarrassment. On the contrary, when Tang Tang's parents hurried to Niujiatun, a fierce contradiction suddenly broke out.
"Tang Tang, what's the matter with you? Dare to make your own decisions about such a big thing? ”
"That's right, your dad is right! When did you come back to Niujiatun, why didn't you even go to school, we didn't even know about it? ”
"Sensei said something else, you were finally admitted to university, what is the future of marrying back to the village, isn't it in vain to study? Disagree, we strongly disagree! ”
Tang's father and Tang's mother thought all the way on the clanging train, and they didn't sleep well for several days, and the backlog of incomprehension and dissatisfaction in their hearts suddenly all broke out, and they instantly hit Tang Tang's face.
Tang Tang listened obediently, but he was not in a hurry to refute. She knew that she was doing this thing a little unsafely, which made her parents worried, so there was such a big backlash. What's more, when she thought that Xu Changlin was dead, she didn't mention anything about him when she went home, and Tang's father and Tang's mother naturally didn't know how deep her feelings were for him.
Now I just heard that she was rashly going to marry someone, and she was still a rural person, of course, from her daughter's point of view, she didn't want to watch her destroy her future.
Even, Tang's father and Tang's mother looked at Niujiatun's people's faces changed a little, because they used some unknown means to induce Tang Tang.
As a teacher, Tang's mother has heard in school that young people in the countryside use various means in order to get back to the opportunity to take the university entrance examination, and she can't help but be a little worried about Tang Tang at the moment. She pulled Tang Tang aside and asked quietly, "Did they force you?" When you were admitted to university, did you promise them any conditions? ”
But seeing Tang Tang shook his head slightly, he replied calmly: "Mom, you misunderstood, we have really known each other in the village for many years, and we have a deep relationship. ”
Hearing her say this, Tang's mother was even more puzzled, "Then what kind of confusion are you committing?" I've known each other for so many years, why don't you get married sooner or later, but you want to get married after you have just been admitted to college? Do you think that your school is easy to talk to, and can allow you to come such nonsense? ”
Tang Tang could not explain to her this sense of urgency that he had lost and regained, and he couldn't wait to hold Xu Changlin tightly in the palm of his hand.
She took a deep breath and said to Tang's mother guiltily: "Studying can be done again, but some people can only encounter such a thing once in their life." ”
Tang's mother's eyes immediately changed a little, she glared at him fiercely, turned back to Tang's father and said with tears in her eyes: "Tang Tang is iron-hearted, I haven't seen her so stubborn, I don't know what * soup this person poured him?" ”
Dad Tang was also anxious, and when he saw Xu Changlin calmly picking up two buckets of water and pouring them into the water tank in the yard the next day, he suddenly felt that the water in the washbasin in front of him was a little unusable.
He silently watched Xu Changlin's every move with a complicated mood, seeing that although he was silent, he filled the water tank with his hands and feet, swept the yard clean, and was busy bringing food from outside, and couldn't help but think a little higher about this guy.
Obviously, this is a diligent person who can live at home, and his temperament is also excellent, but why is he involved with Tang Tang?
Dad Tang couldn't help but sigh worriedly, and when he heard that Tang Tang had accepted the dowry a few days earlier, he was immediately so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
How can there be such an unreserved girl, who can't wait to get married, it's just that this girl is raised for nothing!
Dad Tang angrily opened a wing room in the east, and when he saw that it was full of food and supplies, he immediately burned with a nameless fire in his heart, and said angrily: "Go back, who allowed you to accept it?!" ”
Tang's mother was also taken aback by Tang Tang's big gesture of cutting first and then playing, and turned her brows into her, "Why do you kid not know the right sense of proportion, do you say that you can accept these things?" ”
However, Tang Tang's expression was exceptionally stable, and she said calmly: "Harvest early and harvest late, parents, this is my own marriage, I am confident that I can live a good life, please promise me." ”
As soon as she said this, Dad Tang's anger was even worse, and he couldn't help but reprimand her loudly when he pointed a finger at her: "You kid is hard-hearted, so why do you want us to come over?" Just make up your mind yourself! ”
Seeing that this marriage was difficult, it was vigorously opposed by Tang's father and Tang's mother, and even the family relationship was about to break down. Tang Tang couldn't help but feel anxious, knocked on his knees suddenly, and said to the two of them with sincere eyes: "Parents, I know that you may not be able to accept it for the time being, but I have really thought about it, not on a whim or just a whim, I hope to get your recognition and blessing." ”
Father and Mother Tang were silent together, and Mother Tang was even more tear-stained with tears, and she tilted her head to the side sadly, not to bear to see the girl she had raised since childhood kneeling on the ground.
Dad Tang also looked shaken, and looked at her with firm eyes, not knowing what to say.
Just when the family was at a stalemate, Xu Changlin suddenly pushed the door and broke in, he pulled up Tang Tang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up, you're not wrong." ”
Seeing that Tang's father's face was about to ignite anger again, Tang Tang couldn't help but be a little anxious, and pushed his hand and said, "You go out first." ”
Xu Changlin's face was calm, and her arms were as hard as cast iron, firmly stopping her kneeling figure. Instead, he knelt heavily on the ground with a "snap", "This is my responsibility, and I will bear it." ”
