Rise From Eight Hundred

Tan Tai Yun Shu was indeed not very comfortable.

However, it was not in his aging body.

In his heart.

"Uncle, do you have anything to ask me? If so, let Ming Yue tell me and I will take care of it for you. Why do you have to come in person!" Tang Dao said with a smile to the old Tan Tai who walked into the house alone.

There was no way. Not to mention that this old man was Tan Tai Ming Yue's father and his future father-in-law, just because he had sent nearly 100,000 silver dollars from thousands of miles away, Tang Dao couldn't reduce the smile on his face, no matter how bad the old man's face was.

"During this period, I will accompany your four-line group to Zhengzhou. Take this time and find a day to get engaged to Ming Yue!" The middle-aged handsome guy who walked into the house did not respond to Tang Dao's words. He found a chair and sat down, and then snorted.

"Ah?" Tang Dao opened his mouth involuntarily.

He thought that this old man was unhappy with him for various reasons, and he also thought that he would be assigned some tedious tasks, but he was still somewhat surprised to be asked to get engaged right away.

Moreover, the one who said this was the girl's parents, an old man who was traditional to the bone. Even in the future, engagement should be proposed by the man!

"What? Why, you are still not happy!" Tan Tai Yunshu looked at Tang Dao's silly look and raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, although Tan Tai Yunshu is traditional, he is definitely not pedantic. Tang Dao's family background may not be as rich as his Tan Tai family, but Tang Dao is good enough and talented. The sentence "The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light" made this old talent who has read poetry and books for many years feel excited all night. He is first-class in killing enemies on the battlefield. He is already a colonel at a young age, and his daughter is deeply in love with him. Old Tan Tai is so picky that he can't find any fault with Tang Dao.

But somehow, Tan Tai Yun Shu just didn't like Tang Dao, especially when he saw his daughter looking at him with a smile, this dislike became stronger.

Now, I have violated the rules of our ancestors and took the initiative to propose an engagement, what does your hippopotamus mouth mean?

The middle-aged handsome man had to raise his eyebrows.

It was really helpless to let the old Tan Tai take the initiative to propose an 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 jacket. The old bones that were almost broken by the bumpy carriage for nearly 100 kilometers finally recovered.

The tangle in his heart was also relieved.

He naturally believed what the little cotton jacket said, but the fact that there is no now does not mean that there will be no in the future.

The old Tan Tai is a person who reads history books well, knows astronomy and geography, and has sufficient research on human nature.

Now is a time of chaos and disorder. Once on the battlefield, there is no tomorrow. The two young people who are deeply in love may choose to indulge their youth at any time because of the threat of the war.

If they lose the war, it is natural that everyone is finished, but what if they win? Once this bottom line is broken, the young people will be greedy for pleasure, and the probability of the fat grandson arriving before the engagement is higher than 80%.

And his Tan Tai family is a prominent family in Jiangnan. If the eldest daughter of the family has a child before marriage, if this news spreads, how many people in the Tan Tai family, which is famous in Jiangnan, can go out to see people?

It is impossible to take his daughter away, and the probability of staying with Tang Dao is extremely high. The old Tan Tai, who paced alone in the room and was distressed, almost went crazy.

It was the old book boy who had been with him for many years who understood him and whispered the suggestion that Tang Dao and his young lady should get engaged first, which made Tan Tai Yunshu make up his mind.

Although they were engaged but not married, according to Chinese tradition, they were already engaged. Even if they got married with a big fat baby, it was all delayed by the war. People would only envy him for having a daughter and son-in-law who had made great military achievements and sacrificed their family to defend the country, but would not laugh at him, Tan Tai Yun Shu, for having no upbringing.

He thought it was well thought out, but he felt a little uncomfortable thinking that his father-in-law would take the initiative to talk about the engagement, so his face would naturally not be good.

As a result, when he saw that he had said it, Tang Dao was not only not happy, but also showed a "horrified" look. His anger must have risen!

The middle-aged handsome guy knew that he could not beat the brave boy in front of him, otherwise he would have kicked him in the crotch.

"No, no, since fighting side by side with your daughter on the anti-Japanese battlefield, Tang Dao gradually fell in love with her and could not extricate himself from her. If I can stay with her in this life, it is Tang Dao's luck!"

This should be the first time that Tang Dao formally talked to another person about his feelings for Tan Tai Ming Yue.

He didn't even say these words to Tan Tai Ming Yue.

Those who are familiar with Tang Dao know that he is brave and wise. Guo and Wu's evaluation of him is full of "cunning". If these characteristics are applied to love, he will definitely be a playboy in love.

However, Tang Dao is a bit straight in love. No matter how much he loves, he rarely says those sweet words that make women's hearts flutter. His love has always been through actions.

If Tan Tai Ming Yue is in danger, he will go through fire and water to save her, but if he is asked to say those sour words, it is 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 the sincerity of Tang Dao, Tan Tai Yun Shu's expression also eased.

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 even more 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. 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 pot 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 will 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 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 my Chinese family. 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 ruins 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 is often necessary to More than a dozen brothers in an infantry squad were reduced to 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 block the attack of two infantry regiments of an infantry brigade by the Japanese invaders, 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. "

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, 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! I will go find you."

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 is worth it even if I die now!

"Hey! Honey, 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, you young people, you can make your own decisions! I won't mention these things anymore."

Tantai Yunshu knew that both his daughter and Tang Dao were young people with strong ideas, and both of them had their own determination for the future. If he persisted in some of his traditional ideas, he would probably end up causing more harm than good. Disgusted.

However, thinking about how long his daughter would live without knowing how long she would live tomorrow, and that her life would even 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.

Seeing the old man's somewhat forlorn figure leaving the room and walking into the courtyard, Tang Dao, who had been silent, grabbed the hand of Tantai Mingyue, whose eyes were filled with tears.

"It's okay! My father is an open-minded person. He will figure it out soon and understand you and me." Tan Tai Mingyue tried her best to smile and comfort Tang Dao.

Tang Dao shook his head slightly, with determination in his eyes, and pulled the confused Tan Tai Mingyue out of the room.

"Uncle Tan Tai, please stay!"

Tan Tai Yunshu wiped 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, who was dressed in military uniform, standing beside his daughter who was a little at a loss, raising his right hand and saluting solemnly.

"Tang Dao, the Fourth Regiment of the 43rd Army, has admired Ms. Tan Tai Mingyue for a long time, and has been favored by Ms. Tan Tai Mingyue. The two sides are in love, so they specially ask for marriage from the Tan Tai family. I hope you can approve it. If you can approve it, Tang Dao will be grateful! When the war is won, I will serve Ms. Tan Tai Mingyue's parents as my parents! This life will not change!"

This time, it was Tan Tai Yunshu's turn to open his mouth.

What's going on? Just now, this guy refused with great righteousness, and the reason was irresistible. How could he change his mind in a blink of an eye?

"Uncle Tan Tai, please agree. I have decided that I will not marry anyone other than Ms. Tan Tai Ming Yue in this life!" Tang Dao continued.

"What are you doing?" Tan Tai Yun Shu came back to his senses and asked hesitantly.

"I really thought too much just now, but after Ming Yue's words, I also understand Ming Yue's intentions. Since she has treated me so well, how can Tang Dao let her down? Uncle Tan Tai, please betroth Ming Yue to me, and I will treat her wholeheartedly." Tang Dao looked at Tan Tai Ming Yue beside him, his eyes gentle and firm.

What Tan Tai Ming Yue said just now was for her old father to hear, but in fact it was also for Tang Dao to hear. That was to tell Tang Dao that since she had already given her heart to you, she would stay by your side forever, regardless of your life or death.

With such deep affection and friendship, Tang Dao still refused with the unpredictable future life and death, which was really a betrayal of deep affection!

"Okay! I agree!" The middle-aged handsome man smiled and stretched out his hand. "Other etiquette is not respected, but this engagement gift must be given to me!"

Tang Dao hurriedly fumbled around on his body, but there was nothing else on him except the jade cap fountain pen given by Tan Tai Ming Yue.

It was Tan Tai Ming Yue who rescued him, pulled out the Browning pistol from his waist, and said shyly: "Dad, Tang Dao gave me this gun many days ago, just as an engagement gift!"

The middle-aged handsome man grinned and looked at Tang Dao, but saw Tang Dao shyly took out the jade fountain pen that he gave to his beloved daughter on her sixteenth birthday.

It turned out that the two of them had already exchanged engagement gifts privately.

Only this old man is worrying about it here.

So redundant! This is the only feeling 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! A-Tai and I will drink with you! No one else is allowed to disturb us!" Tan Tai Yunshu felt like he was about to get angry.

"Okay!" Tang Dao agreed.

Tan Tai Mingyue looked at the two men she loved most, her eyes full of worry! ...

PS: I have something to do today, so I updated late, please forgive me!
