Accompanied by Li Mingyi, Tieniu and several brothers bought a bunch of gifts and went to Xinghua's house to propose marriage in an upright manner.
Xinghua's parents felt a little guilty when they saw Tieniu's battle. When they saw the mountains of gifts and the two large plates of oceans wrapped in red paper, their faces almost burst into laughter.
After sitting down and chatting in detail, they found out that Tieniu had been promoted to the chief of the Serious Crime Section. The way the two elders looked at Tieniu became different. It was not as if they were looking at their son-in-law, but as if they were looking at their own son. .
Tieniu said they would get married on the 30th of the New Year, but the two elders were still a little hesitant. There was no way they could marry their daughter on the same day they proposed marriage the next day. They had to wait ten days and a half anyway, otherwise they would be criticized for being unreasonable. Gossip.
Tieniu felt that he was a little hasty, but Qin Tian had spoken and he had to do it. He slapped the table and stared at him and said, "This is what my eldest brother, Deputy Director Qin, meant. The newly bought small courtyard is next to my eldest brother's yard. Now My sister-in-law is leading the servants to arrange the arrangements. If the two elders don't agree, I, Tieniu, will have to be tough. No matter what, I have to listen to my eldest brother, saying that I will marry into the family tomorrow. Even if the king of heaven comes, I can't stop me from coming tomorrow. Take Xinghua and leave."
Xinghua's parents were confused by Tieniu's attitude. They heard that it was the deputy director's order, and they knew in their hearts that there was no room for change.
Fortunately, Li Mingyi next to him softened the situation with some thoughtful words and gave both parties a ladder to step down, so that a happy event would not turn into a bad thing.
In the end, the two elders happily agreed to the marriage, leaving Tieniu and others to have a drink at home and then hurriedly asked the neighbors to help prepare the dowry.
After discussing with the two elders about the time to welcome the bride, Tie Niu left Xinghua's house with Li Mingyi and others.
When they returned to the small house next to Qin Tian's house, Qiu Yue was busy with a group of people. Tieniu wanted to go up to help, but Qiu Yue told her that this was all done by women, and a big man Why don't you interfere, don't be clumsy and help when things are not done.
Tieniu, who had eaten the melon, not only did not feel useless and angry, but was so moved that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qiuyue.
Qiuyue was startled by Tieniu's sudden behavior and asked doubtfully: "Brother Tieniu, you don't have a fever? Tomorrow is your big day, what are you doing? Get up quickly, don't freeze."
Tieniu, whose forehead was still stained with snow and mud, tremblingly looked up at Qiuyue. In just a few seconds, a rugged eight-foot man burst into tears.
"Sister-in-law, I have a stupid mind and a stupid mouth. I don't know how to express my feelings. I, Tieniu, have been helpless since I was a child without a father or a mother. Later, I went up to the mountains to become a gangster. I survived, but I was always treated as a fool. I’m treated like a fool, I’ve always been bullied by others, and no one has ever been nice to me.”
"Since I met my eldest brother, I have eaten meat, drank good wine, and found a girl I like. Now my eldest brother has given me such a nice house, and paid for me to propose marriage. Now my sister-in-law has personally helped me decorate my new house. , your eldest brother is like my parents, no, my sister-in-law and my eldest brother are closer than my own mother. I don’t have much ability, so I can only kowtow to you. Sister-in-law, don’t worry, as long as I, Tieniu, are here from now on, never mind the king. When I come, I, Tieniu, will stand in front of Big Brother. If anyone wants to touch you and Big Brother, they will have to pass over Tieniu’s body."
After listening to Tie Niu's heartfelt words, Qiu Yue was deeply moved. She wiped the tears from her eyes and stepped forward to help Tie Niu up. She thanked him: "My sister-in-law is relieved that I can have a life and death brother like you. You can go and accompany your elder brother." Let’s have a drink, my sister-in-law is here, and I will make sure that your new house is tidied up so that your wife can’t find any faults when she comes in.”
Tieniu, who had already stood up, was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times before getting up, wiping away his nose and tears and going to drink with Qin Tian next door.
Qin Tian, who was chatting with Li Mingyi in the mansion, saw Tieniu coming in with red eyes. Just as he was about to ask, Tieniu nodded again, which confused Qin Tian.
After asking, he found out why Tieniu was like this, and Qin Tian was completely convinced by this brother.
Compared to Li Mingyi, Tieniu's thoughts are much simpler. It's not that Li Mingyi is disrespectful or loyal to him, but that a straight-tempered person like Tieniu is the purest. If he doesn't come back, killing him won't change anything.
If this kind of person is used well, he can become a brave and capable general, but if not used well, he will become a reckless man who pokes trouble everywhere.
What Qin Tian is doing now is spy work behind enemy lines. He is not going to the battlefield to fight with the enemy with bayonets. Personal bravery is not the first priority. What is more important is the ability to judge the situation and adapt to changes. Obviously Tieniu does not have such qualities. In the future, He can only be used as a bodyguard, and he will definitely not be allowed to do important things.
Li Mingyi has a lot more advantages than Tieniu. Although he is small in stature and looks like a nerd, he actually has a very lively mind. He can understand many things at once and his ability to comprehend alone is not bad.
After all, he is a person who has gone to school. His abilities in many aspects meet the requirements of becoming a spy, and his loyalty is similar to that of Tieniu.
Qin Tian can be so confident because Li Mingyi is a foolish and filial person. Foolish filial piety will inevitably lead to foolish loyalty. As long as Qin Tian is good to his parents, Li Mingyi will treat him as his elder brother and will never have any rebellious intentions. Some special circumstances forced him to rebel against Qin Tian. As long as Qin Tian could ensure that his parents would have no worries in their old age, he would willingly die for Qin Tian.
Li Mingyi has an reserved personality and is not as straightforward as Tieniu, but that does not mean that his inner loyalty to Qin Tian is not as good as Tieniu's. Qin Tian's heart is like a mirror.
Regardless of whether it was Tieniu or Li Mingyi, Qin Tian treated both of them equally, treated them sincerely and very generously, and neither of them could fault Qin Tian whether it was relationships or life.
New Year's Eve passed quickly. On the morning of the 30th, Li Mingyi took dozens of brothers to welcome his bride. There were firecrackers along the way, and wedding candies were scattered wherever he went. The whole process was as lively and lively as possible. How festive. How festive.
Xinghua's parents looked at such a large procession to welcome the bride. They were shocked but also overjoyed. They had been confused all their lives and finally had a great success when they married their daughter. No matter whether they were relatives or neighbors or friends, no one said this. The marriage is not good.
The wedding team brought Xinghua into the family, and all the procedures followed those of a wealthy family. Qiuyue, the sister-in-law, took care of everything and moved Tieniu to tears on the spot.
During the ceremony, the couple bowed gratefully to Qin Tian and Qiu Yue. The marriage process was finally completed at this point. After a long lively ceremony and a wedding banquet, everyone dispersed and went home to celebrate the New Year.
After sending the two people into the bridal chamber, it was almost time. Qin Tiancai and Qiuyue went to Zhang Weigong's house for New Year's Eve dinner.
Arriving at Zhang Weigong's house, Qin Tian asked Li Mingyi and a few of his men to put down their things, and then gave each of them an extra red envelope. He urged them to go home quickly for the New Year, and only after seeing them off did he go into the house and have a New Year's Eve dinner with Zhang Weigong's family.
At the dinner table, Zhang Weigong talked a lot. He first reviewed the first half of his life, and then thought about his retirement career.
The implication behind the words is that he will not care about the affairs of the bureau from now on. Apart from showing up every day and holding meetings when necessary, Qin Tian will take care of the rest of the time. He has to spend time with his wife. The child has officially started his retirement life.
Qin Tian complimented a few words, while Zhang Weigong shook his head and waved his hands and said sincerely: "Brother, we closed the door and did not talk to each other as a family. The weather in the Northeast has changed. Brother, I am almost half a hundred people. You just What kind of life was I living when I came here, what kind of life am I living now, my brother is satisfied."
"I have reached this point at my age, what else can I be dissatisfied about? I no longer have the heart to climb up any higher and work so hard to be a slave. Why not take care of this three-quarter acre of land for retirement? As long as the top If people don’t come down, don’t I have the final say in this area?”
"Brother, I am a person with neither talent nor ambition. I am also greedy for life and afraid of death. The future situation will be turbulent. People like me can only seek stability. If I am too ambitious, I will definitely be a dead man. The fate of the burial ground.”
"You are still young, and you don't understand my brother's feeling of being superior and subordinate, and being unworthy of his position. Only with you here can I dare to sit in this position, and can I feel at ease in my old age."
"Don't bother me anymore about things in the police station from now on. After a few years, you will become more mature. If you want to move up, brother's path here can still be used. You are so capable, go to the main office It doesn’t matter whether you go to the local government or the local government, as long as you have money, it doesn’t matter.”
"I just want to remind you, you have to be calm. Being promoted too quickly may not be a good thing. You sit in the position of deputy director at such a young age. What you need in the future is to settle down. Just work harder in the past few years and consolidate your roots. Once you are firmly established, the circle will be mixed up. When the time comes, the sky will be high and the birds will fly. Are you afraid that there will be no place for you to display your talents?"
Qin Tian heard Zhang Weigong's heartfelt words and thought about it, thinking that he had indeed acted too hastily. After all, Zhang Weigong was an old man who had been around for more than 20 years. A few words revealed Qin Tian's current problem.
"I understand that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Thank you for the advice, brother. I will calm down and manage it well in the future. I don't want to be the one who gets beaten. I will definitely be more careful in the future and keep a low profile." Be wary of arrogance and impatience, and stay at the police station for a few years with peace of mind."
Qin Tian knew everything about him, which was what Zhang Weigong valued most about him. With Qin Tian's words, he felt relieved. He toasted Qin Tian and started talking about Tieniu's marriage and other matters.
I drank a lot of wine in the evening until the clock was about to turn, and then I went out to accompany my two children to set off fireworks when the clock turned in the early morning.
Looking at the splendid fireworks all over the sky and the deafening bursts of firecrackers, Qin Tian put his arms around Qiu Yue's waist and looked at the colorful night sky. Happiness filled the surroundings of everyone, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. Qin Tian also Enjoying this rare warmth.
From the moment the New Year's bell rings, such a lively and peaceful scene may not appear again in the next fourteen years.
He cherishes the happiness of the moment and the people around him. He really hopes to stay at this moment forever, so that the happiness will never disappear.
However, time slips away quietly at the fingertips, it will not stop, and it will not wait for anyone.
Fireworks are fleeting, and darkness will eventually envelope the world. How long can this spark hidden in the enemy's heart cover up its light?
Qin Tian didn't know, maybe it would be as fleeting as the fireworks, or maybe it would be like the fluorescent light hidden in the haystack at night and stay bright all night long.
No matter what the future holds, do your best first and leave everything else to fate.
