"Creak …" The door of the ancestral hall was opened, and Yang Chonggui walked in slowly.
"You have a good daughter." Yang Chonggui pretended not to see the clothes on Yang Yi's body. He snorted and said, "Get up!"
Yang Yi slowly got up from the ground. After kneeling for an hour, his knees were a little sore. With a thought, a warm current gushed out from his dantian and hit the blood vessels there. The soreness immediately dissipated.
Daughter? Yang Yi was a little confused. Did Xi Xi do something?
Yang Chonggui ignored him and took care of the altar. After a while, he said slowly, "Do you know why I asked you to kneel?"
Yang Yi was silent for a while and said softly, "Lack of responsibility."
"That's one reason." Yang Chonggui took out a few incense sticks, put them on the kerosene lamp, and lit them. "There's another reason. Now that you've made a lot of money, you can't call home as much as when you were in the army …"
The old man's intuition was very accurate. Although he didn't suspect whether his eldest son's identity had changed, he could sense that Yang Yi maintained an inexplicable distance from home and this place despite his seemingly friendly appearance. How could he not be estranged? This guy was not the real Yang Yi.
Yang Chonggui was more talkative now. "… You can't forget your ancestors. No matter how much money you make, you can't go against your conscience. You can't forget that you're a descendant of the Yang family! Our Yang family has been loyal for generations. We shed our blood for the country and the people, and we repay our neighbors. We support each other. I want you to kneel in front of your ancestors because I want you to calm down. Whether it's your wife, your children, your parents, your siblings, or your neighbors who have received kindness from you. No matter how much money you earn, you cannot forget your roots! "
"I understand …" Looking at his father's back, Yang Yi pondered for a moment before slowly nodding his head.
"You haven't been back for two years …" Yang Chonggui finally turned around and looked at him. He handed over the lit incense and said slowly, "Burn some incense for your ancestors!"
…
Yang Yi returned and appeared in front of Murphy and Xi Xi. As usual, he had a gentle smile on his face, as if kneeling for almost an hour did not affect him at all.
"Papa, you're back?" Xi Xi happily threw herself into her father's arms and said happily, "I told Grandpa not to lock PaPa up. PaPa knows his mistakes and changes. He's a good kid, so Grandpa won't be angry anymore!"
"Xi Xi is very good today. She's very sensible," Murphy said to Yang Yi as she walked over and gently stroked the little girl's hair.
"Thank you, Xi Xi. Thank you for your help." Yang Yi kissed his daughter's face, making her giggle.
It was late at night. Yang Yi carried Xi Xi and took Murphy upstairs.
As soon as they turned on the light and entered the room, Yang Yi could not wait to free one of his hands and gently held Murphy's soft hand. He looked at Murphy's sparkling eyes softly and said, "You've been wronged tonight. In fact, it's my fault."
Yang Yi knew that Murphy must have done something behind his back. Otherwise, Xi Xi would not have run to her father.
"Don't say it again." Murphy reached out to cover Yang Yi's mouth and said, "It's my fault. Are you done?"
Xi Xi looked at her mother's posture and her eyes lit up. It seemed that she had unlocked a new movement.
"No, I want to say that I didn't think it through before. My father scolded me, and he was right!" Yang Yi pulled her hand down and said seriously, "Now, I want to tell you that I want to marry you!"
Murphy was stunned. The impact of this sentence on her was no less than that of Yang Yi's confession that day.
Although she didn't doubt that Yang Yi would marry her, and their relationship had reached a point where success was inevitable, what woman didn't look forward to hearing this sentence from the person she loved?
But, at this time?
"I'm serious! Although it's a bit rushed, I understand that I can no longer stay out of this matter. I have to be responsible for you. So, I want to tell you that I want to marry you! This is not a proposal. In the future, I will give you a proposal ceremony, a romantic proposal ceremony. Now, I just want to tell you my promise! "Yang Yi looked into Murphy's eyes and said firmly.
However, Yang Yi, this honest boy, still did not understand.
If this is not a proposal, what else can it be?
He has already made his statement so clear, but Murphy still has to respond.
Wasn't this a proposal?
Yang Yi knew that it was rushed, but it was not just rushed. No one had ever proposed in such a clumsy and simple way!
Just a moment ago, he was being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Now, he came up and said such words. In this simple room, there were no roses, no diamond ring, and he was hugging Xi Xi. Indeed, Xi Xi was as beautiful as a flower, but she was not a flower after all!
Xixi blinked. She didn't quite understand. She tilted her little head and looked at her father and mother for a while. However, although she was still being hugged by her father, her father and mother did not care about her. In their eyes, there was only each other … Xi Xi was pitifully ignored!
Murphy was also a little confused. Happiness and panic mixed together, and she felt that her IQ was not enough.
She was not mentally prepared at all. She would not have thought that Yang Yi would suddenly say this! She was a little flustered and said, "I know, I, I am very happy! I, I did not care about the ceremony … "
Actually, it was impossible not to care? Which woman had not fantasized about it when she was young? It was a romantic occasion like a garden in full bloom. Her lover dressed up like a handsome prince, then got down on one knee and proposed to her …
But now, there was nothing, not even a kneel, and Yang Yi said so domineeringly, "I want to marry you!"
Murphy was so flustered that she forgot her beautiful fantasies, and her mind went blank.
"There will be, there will definitely be a ceremony. I will make it up to you when I propose!" Yang Yi did not feel that he was proposing and said seriously to Murphy.
No matter what other people thought, Yang Yi had to accept this. In the future, he would give Mo Fei what he thought was romantic.
However, Murphy did not know what to do and could only nod shyly.
One did not play by the rules, the other did not have a brain. Both of them were the best, and they just happened to be a couple. The two of them stood there for a while, looking at each other with surging emotions in their eyes. They did not know what to say, but that was not important.
"PaPa, I want to take a bath. I have not taken a bath for two days, and I am going to become smelly!" Xi Xi, who was ignored, finally could not bear it. She pouted her small mouth and cried out.
"Oh! Yes, yes! I will give you a bath! " Yang Yi quickly put Xi Xi down and said, "Take the clothes, the water is boiling downstairs, and you can take a bath in the bathroom downstairs."
Yang Yi said to Murphy apologetically, "The conditions at home are not good, and there is no water heater, so I can only boil water to take a bath. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"No, I am fine." Murphy's eyes still had a little shyness.
Xi Xi was in high spirits. She maintained a strong curiosity about new things. When her father took the clothes for her, she walked around her father and asked, "PaPa, what is it like to take a bath in boiling water? Do you want to put Xi Xi in a big pot, and then, then burn a big fire? "
"That is to cook you!" Yang Yi heard this and laughed, "Did you see the chicken soup tonight? If you cook it like that, you will be cooked! "
"Then don't cook Xi Xi, I am not delicious!" The little girl hurriedly waved her hand.
…
When it was time to sleep, Murphy finally recovered from the dizziness. She stretched out her finger, poked Yang Yi's waist, and muttered, "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious!"
"Hmm?" Yang Yi put down the book in his hand and turned to look at Murphy, whose skin was particularly smooth after taking a bath.
"I have explained to Mom that because of my work, we can't disclose our relationship for the time being, but we will do it as soon as possible, so as not to let Mom wait too long." In fact, Murphy had already thought about it. When she terminated the contract with Tianmei, she would officially disclose her relationship with Yang Yi, and also introduce her and Yang Yi's studio.
"Mom also expressed her understanding. She said that we have been delayed for four or five years, so it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. When we can really make it public, we will go back to the village and hold a grand wedding." Murphy said with some shyness.
"Well, but it doesn't matter! I just want to tell you that I have made up my mind! "Yang Yi laughed.
"No, you scared me. You bad guy, you suddenly proposed to me!" Murphy rebuked and hammered Yang Yi's chest. "Who proposes like this?"
"It's not a proposal. I said that I will give you a proposal ceremony in the future!" Yang Yi complained.
"It's a proposal. You forced me to express my opinion!" Murphy said with a pout.
"Then you agree?" Yang Yi asked with a smirk.
"No, no, I want you to give me a super romantic proposal, or I will be unhappy!" Murphy turned her head on the pillow. Fortunately, Xi Xi was sleeping soundly, otherwise she might have been woken up.
"There will be, there will be!" Yang Yi held her in his arms and didn't let her move. Then, he lovingly kissed her forehead and said with a smile full of love.
"Hmph!" Murphy hummed like a piglet.
After a while, she leaned on Yang Yi's arms and whispered, "But, but, we can still get the certificate first … Mom secretly told me that the wedding ceremony can be made up later, but we can't be together like this."
Yang Yi didn't know that his mother loved this stupid daughter-in-law and was worried that Yang Yi would change his mind, like his father, and change sides!
