Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1243, Section 1132: Chiang Kai-shek's Proposal
Sayram Lake, formerly known as "Jinghai", is located in BL City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The lake surface is at an altitude of 2071 meters, with a maximum length of 29.6 kilometers from east to west and a maximum width of 25.7 kilometers from north to south, covering an area of ​​458 square kilometers.

Everything grows bigger when it arrives in XJ.

In October, Sayram Lake is already in autumn.

The lake water was a deep, clear blue, even bluer than the sky!

It looks like a large, sparkling sapphire, or like an upside-down sky.

The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains in the distance, their peaks white against the azure waters, where the horizon meets the snow.

The lakeside grassland is no longer the lush green of summer, but is covered with a layer of mottled gold, undulating in the cool autumn breeze and stretching into the distance.

Occasionally, a few stubborn wildflowers are interspersed among them, like stars dotting the landscape.

As the sun sets, it bathes the snow-capped mountains and lake in a magnificent orange-red hue, while the silhouettes of swans appear and disappear in the afterglow.

It's as beautiful as an oil painting rendered in the palette of the seasons...

The group stood by the lake, reluctant to move for a long time. The beautiful scenery before them was enough to compensate for their hard work over the past few days.

Even the journey itself wasn't too tiring.

Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and mutton stew in the Muslim Quarter; Yellow River ferry crossing, White Pagoda Mountain, Maijishan Grottoes, and beef noodles; Rainbow Mountains, Crescent Lake, Flaming Mountains, and giant grapes...

They're all quite nice.

After a long while, they watched the sun set over Sayram Lake before getting back on the bus to head to their booked guesthouse.

Time is tight; there's a big job coming up tonight.

The guesthouse was found by Luo Yihang. It consisted of wooden cabins nestled among mountains and clear waters, quiet and serene, with the lake right outside the window.

Suitable for lying flat.

They made an excuse that only two cabins were booked on the first day, so men and women had to stay separately, and rooms would be allocated according to families the next day.

The excuse was rather crude. After the two ladies got off the bus, they glanced at the four men one by one, their expressions saying, "You gentlemen have finally found a chance to let loose, haven't you? I can tell, but I won't say anything. Let you do whatever you want."

They chose a wooden cabin and ran inside, followed by faint cheers.

Luo Yihang and the other three went into another room.

They were plotting something big.

After Suiwa entered the room, she was still worried, "Did they find out?"

"I definitely didn't tell her, did you? Did your kid tell your wife?" Qiangwa quickly tried to extricate himself from the situation.

“Su Jing is a big mouth, you didn’t say that, did you?” Luo Yihang chimed in.

Suiwa panicked as soon as he heard this and quickly waved his hand, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, not even my wife, I keep my mouth shut. But I don't know if Lao Jiang said anything or not."

This guy is sly and wicked.

Everyone turned to look at Chiang Kai-shek.

Old Chiang... his face was deathly pale, and he was still trembling.

A burly, dark-skinned man, over six feet tall, caught thieves like they were chicks; damn, he was trembling with fear.

"Are you even capable, kid? Aren't you ashamed?!"

Old Jiang gritted his teeth, shook his head, and squeezed out a few words, "I didn't say."

We've been buddies for so many years, we've seen each other's embarrassing moments.

Having already given up entirely, Old Jiang started trembling again, "So shameful, so incredibly shameful, I can't help it..."

Well, he's slurring his words.

"It's just a marriage proposal, why are you so scared?" Qiangwa started mocking.

"Since it wasn't your kid proposing, of course it's fine with your kid," Old Jiang retorted.

"I didn't act like this when I proposed. Just relax."

“Back then, you were just fooling young girls, and they don’t even want to talk about you.”

Suiwa was defeated.

Hmm, he can still argue with people, so it seems like Old Jiang is not in any major problems.

Luo Yihang waved to Lao Jiang as if swatting away flies, "Get out of here, you shameless bastard, and adjust yourself."

"Everyone below, follow my instructions."

Time is tight and the task is heavy; it's almost dark.

"Suiwa, your task is to hold off Sister Qin and your wife. Don't let them out until we've made our arrangements."

Sui Wa clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

“Old Jiang, you…” Luo Yihang paused for a moment, “You’re in charge of starting the fire. Go and organize your thoughts. You’re the main character today.”

"The venue is right by the lake, and I've had the guesthouse prepare all the firewood and other necessities."

With Jiang in such a state, he couldn't do much, so Luo Yihang adjusted the plan.

Then there's Qiangwa.

"Qiangwa, come with me to set it up. You get the barbecue ingredients, hang up the colorful lights, and make the place look beautiful." Qiangwa patted his chest and readily agreed.

Finally, there's Luo Yihang himself.

"I drove my car to the lakeside, and since my car is big, I pretended to block the wind."

"I've already connected all the musical instruments and stuff, and I'm hiding them in the car."

"Once it's completely dark and the atmosphere for eating and drinking is right, Qiangwa, you and I will take all the stuff out of the car. We need to be quick."

"Suiwa, drive the car away. There are fireworks in the trunk. Find a place to set them all up."

"When the car drove away, Qiangwa and I struck a pose, and the music started."

"Old Jiang, just go about your business. Do you need any money? I've had the guesthouse prepare some too."

"Suiwa, don't forget to tell your wife that she has to be in charge of creating a lively atmosphere."

"If Chiang Kai-shek succeeds, I'll give you the signal, and you can light the fireworks."

Old Jiang's marriage proposal followed this procedure: a bonfire party.

It's common sense, as long as it works.

The main reason is that the location was chosen well.

Where is this? Sayram Lake. Shi Qin longs to visit this place the most. She also saw the reactions this afternoon and was not disappointed. She likes it.

Once the atmosphere is right in the evening, everyone will be so moved they'll cry buckets, and nothing will be impossible.

"What if it doesn't work out?" Suiwa, that mood-ruiner!

Luo Yihang waved his hand and declared righteously, "Nothing is impossible!"

After saying that, he raised his right hand horizontally.

Qiangwa followed suit and placed his right hand on Luo Yihang's hand.

Then there's Suiwa.

Then came Chiang Kai-shek.

Four people stood in four different directions, their four hands clasped together.

"one two Three!"

"Success! Success! Success!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

After shouting the three slogans, four hands were raised to the sky.

10 out of 10 is idiotic...

Men, they always have to do some silly things together.

"Old Jiang's lifelong happiness depends on tonight. No one is allowed to mess things up. Let Sister Qin be so moved that she'll have a brain fart and be silly enough to make Old Jiang's marriage proposal a breeze. Operation begins now!"

Luo Yihang stated the full name of the plan and gave a final plea.

Old Jiang was completely bewildered. "Wait, why is it so long? Why was I so stupid? Why did I agree to it on a whim?"

Luo Yihang pushed Lao Jiang away, saying, "None of this matters."

After saying this, he led the "main force" out of the wooden house with great pride and high spirits.

"No, it doesn't matter. I feel like you guys are more concerned than I am. Are you planning something bad...?"

Finally, a distraught old Chiang Kai-shek was also there.

Thankfully, it's stopped shaking...
-
Night fell, and the moon and stars hung in the night sky.

A table and chairs were set up on the shore of Sayram Lake.

In the middle is a tall stack of firewood.

Luo Yihang drove the car to the lakeside and busied himself in the back of the car.

Qiangwa took a large cardboard box off the car and unpacked it, revealing a string of colorful lights.

Old Jiang stood in the middle of the field, splashing kerosene onto the pile of firewood, then squatted down to stuff some newspapers under the pile, and took out a lighter.

Shi Qin slowly walked to Old Jiang's side...

Luo Yihang glanced at it briefly, "This Sui kid is really unreliable. Why did Sister Qin come out first... But it's not a big problem."

The next second, Lao Jiang swallowed hard, his hand trembling as he pressed the lighter a few times, but he couldn't get it to light.

Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind.

She looked up and asked, "Shi Qin, will you... will you marry me?"

"Okay."

Shi Qin smiled and took the lighter from Lao Jiang's hand.

Pa~~
Flames rise...
