Murphy could not enter the ancestral hall, not to mention that she was not listed in the Yang family tree. Even if she was, she could not enter the ancestral hall!
The ancestral hall of the Yang family was quite open. Because of the heavy casualties in the war, Yang Chonggui was the only one left in the family. Therefore, Yang Chonggui had the final say in the rules. In the past, he did not allow Dong Yue-er to enter the ancestral hall, saying that she could only enter once in her lifetime. Later, he could not dissuade his wife, so he reluctantly changed the rule that all the women in the family could enter the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors together during festivals.
But now, Murphy could not enter the ancestral hall, and Yang Huan did not dare to secretly bring Murphy in. If the old man saw it, Yang Huan would be beaten up!
What should he do?
Yang Huan rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile, "Got it! Follow me! "
...
Yang Yi knelt in the gloomy ancestral hall. The cold wind of the night kept coming in through the crack of the door. Fortunately, his body was strong and he was not afraid of the cold. Therefore, he calmly knelt down. In his mind, he was still criticizing the tradition and ignorance of his old man. He felt that the saying "eccentricity is natural" in the ancestral teachings could be applied to his old man!
Of course, he was just criticizing Yang Chonggui's way of doing things. Yang Yi had already figured out the reason why Yang Chonggui blamed him. He realized his mistake.
Someone once said, "The essence of a person is not an abstract thing inherent in a single person. In reality, it is the sum of all social relationships."
After all, he was still living in this world. He could not turn a deaf ear to social customs just because of his casual attitude. He was also a man with a family. Even if he looked down on the binding force of the certificate, he should know the significance of the promise to Murphy...
In the quiet ancestral hall, Yang Yi thought a lot.
However, the silence was soon broken.
A faint rustling sound came into Yang Yi's ears. In the dim and quiet ancestral hall, it was very loud!
Yang Yi frowned and looked over. His hearing and eyesight were very good, so he quickly found the source of the sound. Then, he saw a pair of eyes in a ventilation hole in the corner.
The eye blinked and then retreated.
"Sister-in-law, look, big brother is inside." Yang Huan's voice was heard. After a while, a pair of familiar eyes appeared at the entrance of the cave.
It was Murphy's!
Yang Yi recognized her immediately and saw her sad expression when she saw him kneeling there.
"Murphy, it's not a big deal. I'll stay for another half an hour or so. You should go back quickly. It's cold outside. "Yang Yi spoke before she could.
Murphy heard it. Although it was a little fuzzy outside, she heard the second half very clearly. She pursed her lips and stubbornly said, "No, I want to accompany you."
"Why are you accompanying me? I'm not cold inside, but you'll freeze outside. Fool, listen to me! "
"I don't want to listen to you. I don't want to see you being punished for me." Murphy finally held back her tears and talked back.
"I'm not being punished. In our family, it's normal to be punished. If you don't believe me, ask Huanhuan. Do Yang Qing and I get punished often?" Yang Yi coaxed her.
Yang Huan also pulled Murphy and said, "Yes, it's only an hour. It's okay. Let's not wait here. Otherwise, when my father comes back, things will be worse. "
Murphy was persuaded to leave by Yang Yi. However, she did not go back peacefully. Instead, she went upstairs to get a coat for Yang Yi and asked Yang Qing to bring it to him.
Then, she went to find Dong Yuee. Although she was a little nervous without Yang Yi, she still plucked up the courage to tell Dong Yuee about her and Yang Yi's current work situation. She explained why they were not married yet and wanted Dong Yuee to help her reconcile.
At this time, Xi Xi still did not understand what had just happened. She ran over, held her Mom's hand, and asked, "Mom, where is PaPa?"
Now that it was dark outside the big house and she couldn't see anything clearly, Xixi was a little scared and didn't dare to "explore" the courtyard again. However, her parents weren't playing with her, and her most adorable grandfather wasn't around either. The little girl finally felt bored.
Murphy pulled Xi Xi into her arms, gently stroked her hair, and whispered, "He, he has something to do now. He'll be back soon."
But Dong Yuee looked at Xixi with a smile, and an idea came to her mind. She said to Mo Fei, "In fact, what I usually say has some effect. But now the old man is angry. He won't listen to anyone. It's useless for me to persuade him. If he makes Tie Zi kneel until dawn, he will not recognize his family. But I think there is one person who may be useful to persuade him! "
"Who?" Murphy asked anxiously, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.
"Little Yang Xi!" Dong Yuee said with a smile.
…
After a while, Yang Chonggui came back slowly with his hands behind his back. He was not in a hurry to talk to Yang Yi in the ancestral hall. Instead, he went back to the hall and saw Dong Yuee. He ordered, "Yuee, pour me a cup of tea!"
But as soon as he sat down in the armchair, a little girl walked over with a teacup.
"Grandpa, I'll give it to you. Have some tea." Xi Xi's clear voice came before she arrived.
"Aiyo, put it down. Give it to Grandpa. Why are you serving Grandpa tea? What if it's hot? " Yang Chonggui looked anxious. Before he could even warm his seat, he hurriedly got up and went to greet his granddaughter. He took the teacup from her hands and scolded her.
"Hee hee, it's not hot." Xi Xi smiled sweetly at Grandpa.
Yang Chonggui touched the edge of the cup. He had a rough idea. He took a sip and put it down. It was not hot. The tea was warm. It seemed that someone had already prepared it.
"It's not hot. This is a porcelain cup. If it falls, it will hit your foot or cut your foot." Yang Chonggui picked up Xi Xi and sat on the armchair.
Although he was talking to his granddaughter, everyone knew who he was talking about.
"Grandpa, grandma said that you locked up my PaPa." Xi Xi pouted and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry, okay? My PaPa, my PaPa is not a bad guy."
"Okay …" Xi Xi said while shaking Yang Chonggui's hand. Even if Yang Chonggui had a heart of stone, he would not be able to resist such a childish act.
"But your father didn't do something well, so Grandpa is angry." Yang Chonggui explained.
"But, but don't lock him up, okay? I'm scared. "Xi Xi said sadly." PaPa is disobedient. I'll ask him to apologize to you, okay? PaPa said that if you know your mistakes, you're a good child. Don't be angry, okay … "
The little girl's voice was soft, and Yang Chonggui didn't know how to deal with her. He couldn't harden his heart to Xi Xi, and after being coaxed by his granddaughter, his anger had already dissipated.
"Okay, okay, okay! I won't punish your father. Yang Xi, don't cry. Grandpa promises you that your father will come back immediately. "Yang Chonggui saw that Xi Xi's eyes were red and quickly said.
"Really?" Xi Xi held back her tears and looked at her grandfather in surprise.
"Of course, Grandpa's words are a gentleman's words. Grandpa will ask your father to come back now! "Yang Chonggui looked at his granddaughter's surprised eyes and immediately patted his chest and said heroically.
"Grandpa, you're so nice!" Xi Xi leaned over and kissed her grandfather on the cheek.
At this moment, Yang Chonggui, who was still a little stiff, couldn't hold on anymore. He revealed a smile, and the wrinkles on his face were like blooming flowers. They had never been so wonderful.
