Age of Rebirth

380 Chapter Nine

Mei Ting was extremely moved, and only then did she understand the reason why her father treated Tang Qiuli with such an attitude, and felt that her father was not tempted by Qiuli's official position, did not follow others, and put himself in his place to consider his lifelong happiness. The heart of fatherly love made Mei Ting burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

She originally thought that her father had always held prejudices against her, and that he didn't love her as much as she did towards her younger sister and younger brother. Of course, the main reason was that she hadn't been in the house for five years, and was in the military command, so her father wouldn't tolerate her. reason.

Now everything is clear, the love of my father is as deep as the sea, and it is for my lifelong happiness. What my father said is also true, but my Qiuli is not that kind of person. He is the master of his own destiny. It can't be manipulated.

Mei Ting wiped away her tears of happiness, sat upright, her eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, her cheeks flushed, her father and mother exchanged glances in surprise, wondering why her daughter was blooming like a flower in the sun come alive. [

After Mei Ting brought herself to Pingjin, she met Tang Qiuli for the first time and worked under him. The little things she saw in daily life, the big incidents she experienced, the devastating blow to the Japanese army, supporting the situation in North China alone, and participating in the Xi'an Incident , the standing committee member in the verbal battle, turning the tide, the strength in hand, etc., all told the father and mother in detail.

Father Mei's blood was racing when he heard his daughter's narration, and he seemed to follow his daughter's narration and walked into the battlefield. The more he listened, the more surprised he was. Inside, he can stand at the height of the country and the nation, skillfully handle internal relations, and coordinate multiple parties. His high position today is not bestowed by that person, but deserved by his strength.

Such a young man is the only one in the world. The old man understands his daughter's personality. She has been very intelligent since she was a child, and she has a high self-esteem when she is an adult. Mei's mother, however, also likes a few, hoping to choose a good son-in-law so that her daughter will have a good home.

However, these handsome teenagers returned home without a feather, and when they asked their daughters for their opinions, Mei Ting concluded that they were either immature or second-generation ancestors.

Mother Mei beamed with joy when she heard that, the eldest daughter's home had been found, and such a good son-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern!

Of course, Mei Ting didn't dare to separate herself from Tang Qiu, and told her parents that the old man is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette. He has already been given Fa-rectification by that kid.

Why don't you bring the treasured sword at home and ask Qiu Li for an explanation?On the contrary, the mother heard something different from her daughter's narration. Looking at the mature woman's charm in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, she was afraid that her body had already been given to that Tang Qiuli, and it was a foregone conclusion that she would fall into the Tang family. , the mother's mood is quite complicated, it seems that the treasure that has been treasured for many years is reluctantly taken away by outsiders.

Father Mei only cares about being happy, but he is not as careful as a mother. Tang Qiuli is the first boy who is so adored by his daughter and falls into her eyes. The old man is very interested and curious. Is it really as magical and powerful as your daughter said?It seems that there is indeed a need for a long talk.

Regardless of what time it is, he shouted to the servants to set up a banquet with rich food, don't let others say that our Mei family has no manners, completely forgetting the deliberate shabby and indifferent dinner.

Mother Mei shook her head helplessly at Mei Ting, your father has this temper, and it has gotten worse in recent years, Mei Ting almost collapsed from laughing, straight to the point, likes and hates clearly, but father's old temper has not changed at all.

At this time, someone who had eaten his snacks was laying on the bed contentedly belching, his stomach was full, and the chill on his body was relieved a lot. If he knew that the old man was holding a sumptuous banquet, he would definitely hate it Mei Xue is a girl.

This night, the lights in the living room of Mei's family stayed on all night. Mother Mei took her second daughter and son, and watched with great interest as Tang Qiuli and the old man had a lively conversation. Sitting away from each other, pouring wine for the two of them from time to time.

During Tang Qiuli's narration, Mei's father sometimes sighed, shook his head again and again, and sometimes applauded, raised his glass and drank heavily, with a boyish luster in his eyes. Over half a century of experience is rich and complicated, and he has personally participated in several major events.

The more they talked, the more speculative they were. The two of them had a lot of topics in common. The old man had already regretted seeing each other late. Later, he was already a little drunk. , In the end, he even patted Tang Qiuli on the shoulder and called him "a good son-in-law."

Mei Ting was very shy, the old lady was overjoyed, Tang Qiuli could only smirk, he put all his thoughts on Du Mei's father, but he didn't realize that two eyes were cast on his handsome figure from time to time body.

Mei Xue's mind was completely attracted by Tang Qiuli. Compared with him, those boys in the university were as young as freshly picked plums, even though they were a few years older than him.

Young as he is, yet mature as wide as the sea, with dark eyes, as deep as the stars in the night sky, if you put yourself into his eyes, can you feel the beauty of another world?

Mei Xue was taken aback by her bold idea. She looked at everyone in panic. Fortunately, no one paid attention to her. They were all attracted by this boy who was the same age as her. She stroked her hot cheek and looked at the happy , next to his sister, feeling sad for no reason.

On this winter night in the south of the Yangtze River, the night rain outside the hall, "rustle" like spring silkworms chewing on mulberry leaves. In the hall, the boy's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's experience. A seed was quietly hidden in the girl's eyes. In Mei Xue's heart, it was hidden so deeply, so sweet and trembling, so cautious, so unable to discard it. [

This seed may never germinate and grow old with life. Maybe at a certain day, at a certain moment, it will suddenly burst, bloom instantly, and grow into a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. What can be predicted?

In the next few days, the relationship between the old man and Tang Qiuli's son-in-law grew deeper and deeper, to the point where they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Mei Ting complained about her father coquettishly, and Tang Qiuli was almost taken over by the old man. Haha laughed, very happy.

Mei Ling also pestered Tang Qiuli all day long, asking questions about the army. Tang Qiuli found that Mei Ling, who seemed simple and honest, had a natural understanding of military maps or tactical issues, and he could always solve them all at once. Find the strengths and weaknesses in it.

This surprised Tang Qiuli. A middle school student who had never been in the military field had such talent and was a good material for a soldier. his interest in it.

A few years later, the War of Resistance Against Japan entered a stalemate. Mei Ling, who graduated from the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Military Academy, really became Tang Qiuli's right-hand man.

Only Mei Xue seemed to be deliberately avoiding Tang Qiuli and her sister, but Tang Qiuli didn't notice that's all. Who could guess the little girl's inner troubles and complex emotions?

Shanhu also followed suit, entering and exiting Meifu is extremely casual. The old man is full of good feelings for this big man in the Northeast. He has praised Shanhu more than once. He is a real soldier. Three provinces?

After hovering in the Mei Mansion for a few days, Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting held their wedding ceremony in Moling Ancient Town under the urging of Mr. Mei. In the words of Mr. Mei, the relationship between the two of them is ripe and ripe. Maybe they will set off as soon as they receive the order that day, and I'm afraid there will be no chance.

Of course Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting did not object, the two had already parted ways with each other, Moling ancient town was decorated with lanterns and festoons, drums and music blared, and everyone in the town came to congratulate her, plus Mei Ting's father was quite well-known in the local area. Prestige, the big names in the town, all came to participate.

Dai Li was the first to get the news. There are his subordinates in the town. According to Dai Li's thinking, Tang Qiuli, with such a high status, should notify all the high-ranking officials of the government to attend the wedding. name.

Tang Qiuli was taken aback. If this guy with all-hands-eyes could follow him, Moling Ancient Town would not be overwhelmed by cars and officials from all walks of life. On the contrary, it is not beautiful.

In the end, Dai Li's kindness could not be denied, Tang Qiuli had no choice but to agree to hold another wedding after returning to Nanjing, and all the officials of the government would attend.

Everyone in the town knew that the uncle of the Mei family was the number two person in the government. He was very powerful and envious. The Mei family had a good daughter, but Tang Qiuli had other plans. The shadow of the Nanjing Massacre was always in his heart. wandering mind.

I am in the Yellow River Basin, and the attack on the Japanese army will definitely attract their full siege. The fierce battle is in full swing. The Japanese army landed from Shanghai. With sufficient preparation, Nanjing will definitely not be guaranteed.

Moling is not far from Nanjing. Under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, with the ferocity of the Japanese and the great loss they suffered in the north, crazy massacres are inevitable. This place will definitely become a hell on earth. There are dozens of people in the Mei family. can survive?

Even if the Japanese troops went south, the area around Nanjing would still be the key area for their attack. How could they guarantee safety under the raging environment of war?

From this, I think of my parents far away in the Northeast, and my identity, with the expansion of the Sino-Japanese war, will be found out by the Japanese sooner or later. At that time, the Japanese will threaten the lives of my parents, relatives and the whole village of Tangjiawopu , what should I do?

For the first time, he had the idea of ​​settling his parents, his father-in-law's family, and the whole village in Dingbian. When he told Mei Ting, who was as soft as water in her arms, Mei Ting completely agreed, and she knew about Dingbian. No matter how fierce the Japanese attack is, it will not go anywhere.

In the years of war, there is no safer place than Dingbian, and he can ride on the anti-Japanese battlefield with peace of mind.
