Chapter 404: Love from Memorization 3 (Two chapters merged into one)
"Stop, what are you asking now? People are resting and your work is not finished yet. Stand still." Zhong Qixin scolded.
"I, what else do I have to do? My sister must be tired after riding the car, don't you want to let her rest?" Tang Xiner wanted to use Yi Ke as a shield.
"Young Master, stop rambling and bringing up your sister. Tell me, your aunt Fei said she wants to propose marriage to our family, do you agree or not?" Zhong Qixin was too lazy to criticize her daughter anymore.
"What does proposing marriage have to do with me? Why do you need my consent?" Tang'er still didn't understand what it meant.
"Sister, you are going to marry Brother Han Yuan as his wife." Yike reminded.
"That's fine. I definitely agree. From now on, Brother Han won't get beaten by my mother if he carries me on his back." Tang Xiner said happily.
Yike really wanted to cover his face. Does this silly sister know what getting married means? She agreed so readily.
"I agree. But you can't carry it in front of others. You're already a grown-up girl. Even if you're married, you still have to behave properly in front of others. Do you hear me?" Zhong Qixin had long known that she had protected her daughter too well. All those years, she only cared about her only daughter living, and she put all her guilt for Yi Ke on Tang Xiner, which led to her developing this naive personality.
"I heard you. Can I go now? My sister really needs to rest." Tang Xiner couldn't wait to ask Brother Han.
"Go ahead, go ahead, but I won't let you go upstairs to find Xiao Han." No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Zhong Qixin knew what her daughter wanted to do, so she warned her.
"Okay, Mom. I'll go back to my room to change clothes. I need to wear this dance costume tomorrow." Tang Xiner said, then opened the door and ran out.
"Look at you, you don't look calm at all," Zhong Qixin said angrily.
"Mom, my sister is very happy like this. She is very happy and blessed to have you and dad pampering her. You will be happy and blessed too when you see her." Yike said.
"Yike, it was mom's fault back then, otherwise you would be as happy and blessed as your sister. Mom knows you had such a hard life in the past. Sometimes I really wanted to strangle myself. If I hadn't fainted back then, how could I have let that bad woman succeed?" When Zhong Qixin heard Yike say that Tang Qing'er was spoiled by her parents, she thought of Yike's difficult life under her adoptive mother, and her heart ached.
"Mom, those things are in the past. Look, isn't everything good now? Let's forget about the past and live happily in the present and in the future, okay?" Yi Ke had no choice but to persuade her.
"Okay, mom will listen to you." Zhong Qixin wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked, "Child, you can't leave so soon. The military dog you asked for will be sent back in a few days. I was going to spend the New Year with you, but now that you are here, I see that you look rosy, so I know that Ziyi should be doing well with you, so I won't go to your house for the New Year. I will visit you next year."
"Mom, Ziyi treats me very well. If you don't come to my house for the New Year because of my coming, I will leave immediately. You can just pretend that I have never been here and go to my house for the New Year as usual, okay?"
"How can you leave right away, kid? The main reason is that your sister is engaged this time, and next year will be the first year of the engagement. During the New Year, Xiao Han's parents will also accompany Xiao Han to pay New Year's greetings, so I must be at home to make arrangements. Don't worry, I will go there after the New Year is over and the weather gets warmer. Oh, it would be great if you didn't get married, so you could live at home."
"Hey, mom, girls always have to get married when they grow up. Look, your sister is engaged too."
"Engagement is engagement. We won't marry your sister off until she reaches marriageable age. If that guy hadn't cheated on your sister in front of us today, your dad wouldn't even want to get engaged so early."
"If you don't want to, then don't get engaged. It's just a betrayal, right? It's not a big deal."
"You can't say that. A grown girl letting a grown man carry her on her back is an intimate contact. If others knew about it, it would ruin her reputation. Besides, your sister has done this more than once or twice, so we had no choice but to agree."
"Oh, Brother Han Yuan is so insidious and cunning. He knew that this would damage my reputation, but he still did this, and in front of you."
"This is all due to everyone's habit. I didn't think much of it before, but now it's too late. I wonder if your sister will regret it after she gets it. Sigh."
"That shouldn't be the case. She should like him, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't agree. Mom, just let it go. Don't worry about it. Think about what to eat tonight."
"Well, go to your grandfather's house to eat. He has a chef. We have already called him."
…
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Zhong Qixin let Yike rest.
After Tang Xiner came out of Yike's room, she didn't listen to her mother at all.
She walked quietly to the stairs and took a peek at the living room. When she found that Brother Han and brother-in-law were not there, she tiptoed up to the third floor.
After Han Yuan sent Ziyi to Tang Xiao's room to rest, he returned to his own room, which was specially reserved for him by Aunt Zhong.
He used to stay in this room most of the night when he was in Kyoto. During the day, he went to school with his brother Tang Huan, and when he came back, he carried his sister Xin'er on his back to go out and play.
He fell in love with the cute doll-like sister Xin'er from the first moment he saw her. He remembered that after his mother forced him to go home that year, he was still crying for his doll sister at home. Finally, his mother coaxed him by saying that when the doll grew up, she would marry him home as a wife and she could go home with him every day.
My mother also told me to protect the doll well and not let anyone snatch it away, otherwise the doll would be given to someone else as a wife and go to someone else's home.
From then on, whenever he had time, he would stay by his doll, no, his wife.
Sister Xin'er has been spoiled since she was a child. She would never stand if she could sit, and would never walk by herself if he could carry her on his back.
He was also very happy to carry his sister Xin'er on his back, and he would often try to carry her on his back intentionally or unintentionally.
Over time, Xin'er got into the habit of asking him to carry her on his back. And every time he carried the baby on his back, he tried to avoid the crowd to avoid people gossiping and scaring sister Xin'er away from letting him carry her.
Today, as soon as sister Xin'er saw him, she asked him to carry her on her back as usual. If it were in the past, he would definitely coax him not to recite it and find another time to recite it. But he didn't. Instead, he carried her into the house and put her down from his back under the gaze of Uncle Tang and Aunt Zhong.
He also knew that by doing this, Sister Xin'er would be criticized by Uncle Tang, but he did not regret it. He heard from his good friend Bashan that Xin'er was a recognized good girl in the compound. She never caused trouble, loved to study, and was pretty. Many boys liked her and began to pursue her openly or secretly.
Even many parents encourage their sons to pursue Xiner. The parents of his buddy also said something similar, so he asked for leave to come back in a hurry.
His cousin asked him to bring some things over, so he did so on the way. Then he was ready to confess his love to sister Xin'er, but he didn't expect something to go wrong along the way.
After he was wrongly accused of murder, he refused to admit that he had killed the person, and half of the reason was because of Tang Xiner.
If he really admitted it, Xin'er would be so disappointed in him. He didn't want Tang Xiner to be disappointed, and he didn't want her to misunderstand that he had killed someone. He couldn't let sister Xiner hate him.
If he really became a murderer, Xin'er would definitely hate him, and even hate him like those people who didn't know the truth.
He was also lucky as he met Xin'er's twin sister Yike who solved the case and saved him. He was grateful to Yike and even more grateful to Xin'er.
If it wasn't for his sister Xin'er, he might not have been able to bear it and admitted to the murder, and there would have been no subsequent investigation of the injustice.
Today, he had no choice but to let Uncle Tang see him carrying sister Xin'er on his back.
He knew that sister Xin'er was not yet able to develop feelings, so he had to take drastic measures and arrange the marriage first. This way, no one would dare to make moves on sister Xin'er, and he could also legitimately strike hard at those men who wanted to kidnap his Xin'er with ill intentions.
He knew that Uncle Tang was reluctant to arrange an engagement for Sister Xin'er so early, but now that he saw him carrying Sister Xin'er on her back, he had to consider the engagement.
Maybe some people say that he is selfish, but he is selfish for once for the person he loves.
Sure enough, when the mother proposed to Uncle Tang and Aunt Zhong to marry Xin'er, Uncle Tang really didn't want to agree. In the end, the mother said that he and Xin'er had a good relationship since childhood, and it was even better now. Uncle Tang remembered that he had come in without telling his daughter, so he had to agree to get engaged first and get married when they were old enough.
He was so excited that he had no sleepiness at all. He just wanted to tell his sister Xin'er the good news right away. The most important thing was that he had not confessed his feelings to her yet. From time to time, he would secretly listen to the noises on the second floor. Now he heard the door opening and the voice of sister Xiner. He immediately walked towards the stairs, and then saw Sister Xiner walking upstairs quietly.
Tang Qing'er walked to the third floor and when he looked up he saw Brother Han looking at him with a smile.
She was so happy that she was about to call "Brother Han" but Han Yuan immediately put a finger on his lips, signaling her not to speak.
Tang Xiner immediately stopped talking. Han Yuan squatted down and Tang Xiner climbed onto his back obediently. He carried Tang Xiner to his room and put Tang Qinger on the edge of the bed to sit.
Han Yuan faced Tang Xiner and knelt on one knee.
Tang Xiner was so scared that she jumped off the bed and stood up, but before she could say anything, Han Yuan pushed her back to the bed.
"Sister Xin'er, please sit still and wait for me to finish speaking." Tang Xiner stayed still, blinking her big eyes, very curious about what Brother Han was going to do.
Han Yuan moved one step away from the bed, knelt on one knee again, and took out a ring from his pocket - a gold ring.
He straightened his expression and said to Tang Xiner seriously, "Xiner, I like you. I have liked you since I was a child. I like you very much. Will you marry me? I promise to treat you well, love you, cherish you, and carry you on my back for the rest of my life."
Tang Xiner was a little dazed because she was feeling a surge of emotions in her heart.
In school and in the compound, some people confessed their love to her. Some wrote love letters, some sent flowers, and some sent pens and books. But she felt nothing and was very calm.
Today, she really liked the gold ring from Brother Han, and she liked it even more when Brother Han said he would carry her on his back.
The silly Tang Xiner was stunned for a while, then she said, "Can you really carry me on your back for the rest of my life? Then I agree."
Han Yuan said happily: "I promise, I will carry you on my back for the rest of my life. Even when we are both old and gray, I will still carry you on my back."
Han Yuan took Tang Qing'er's hand and put the ring on her, saying, "This is a ring. I also have one, the same as yours. I went to Xiangcheng to order it specially. It has our two surnames on it, yours is Han and mine is Tang. This is our token of love."
Tang Xiner took it down and looked inside, and sure enough, there was a word "Han". Then she looked at what was in Han Yuan's hand, and sure enough, there was a word "Tang". Brother Han, did you learn this from there? ”
"Yes, I learned it from Xiangcheng. I thought it was very romantic, so I learned it."
"My mother said you'll come to propose marriage tomorrow, is that right?"
"Yes, uncle and aunt have agreed. After tomorrow, you will be my fiancée."
…
The two were talking sweetly in the room. Zhong Qixin had no idea that her eldest daughter had turned a deaf ear to her words not to go find Han Yuan.
I didn’t know how long I slept, but I felt refreshed after waking up, and all the fatigue from the past few days disappeared.
She knew that she was back home with her parents and was no longer alone. Especially after Ziyi was injured, that feeling of helplessness became particularly prominent. Now she truly feels like she has returned to her parents in her previous life, and she feels particularly at ease.
Yike didn't know where Ziyi was resting, so he didn't go looking for him. She went straight to the living room on the first floor.
In the living room, Congfei and her sister Tang Xiner were talking about something, and her sister Tang Xiner laughed like a silver bell from time to time.
Yike thought to himself: "Aunt Fei seems to like my sister very much. After my sister gets married, there shouldn't be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
"Yike, you're downstairs. Why are you wearing so little? Aren't you cold?" Congfei saw Yike at a glance, walked up to her and pulled Yike to sit next to her.
Yike was only wearing a yellow cashmere sweater and no coat. Mainly because the indoor heating was very high, he didn't feel cold at all.
"Aunt Fei, the room is warm, not cold at all." Yike sat down obediently next to Congfei.
"Haha, we will soon become a real family." Congfei said happily.
Yi Ke pretended not to understand and said, "Aunt Fei is Mom's good sister, so we are naturally a family."
"No, not that kind of family. A real family."
Cong Fei didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly, "I'm going to be in-laws with your parents. Your parents agree to marry your sister to my son. So we are a family in the true sense of the word."
Yike pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? So Aunt Fei came here this time to kidnap my sister? I won't agree to that." Yike said deliberately.
She immediately sat next to her sister, shook her sister's hand and said, "Sister, I can't bear to leave you."
"No, Yike, okay Yike, your sister is just getting married temporarily, it's still too early to get married. Besides, even if she gets married, you can go to see your sister, we all welcome you." Congfei said anxiously immediately, she was really afraid that the thing they had just agreed on would fall through.
"People say that women are treasures before marriage and weeds after marriage. I don't want my sister to become weed." Yi Ke said to Tang Xiner bitterly.
"Sister, if you don't like it, then I will--" Tang Xiner wanted to say that she didn't want to get engaged, which made Congfei even more anxious.
She immediately rushed to say, "Yike, what you said will never happen. Our whole family still treats Xin'er like a baby and dotes on her as our own daughter. Really, you don't know, when your sister was very young, I was thinking about how to bring her home to be my daughter. Not only did my son like her, I loved her very much too. We only have one son in our family, and I just wanted to have a daughter. Yike, you must believe that we are all sincere. Hehe, now that I can bring her home as my daughter-in-law, I can't tell how happy I am. I can't wait to dote on her, so how could I bear to let her suffer any grievances."
Yike laughed in his heart, it turns out that the mother and son are the same, they have been planning to take advantage of his sister a long time ago, this is really!
"Well, alright then. I'll take a look first then."
Yike and Congfei didn't chat for long before Han Yuan went to rest. Ziyi also came down to the living room. Mom Zhong Qixin cooked snacks for everyone and told the others that they were going to grandpa's house for dinner.
Congfei took her son back to their own residence before dark. They were going back to prepare gifts for the marriage proposal.
