59 Naming

Lin Yilong spent too much time outside on business in the summer of 2012, and Uncle Tian intended to arrange the marriage of Samantha and Lin Yilong, and the pregnant Yeang sisters accumulated a lot of grievances in the early summer weeks. In order to avoid such resentment affecting the children, and for the sake of the few hairs on his head, Lin Yilong stayed in South Wales for the rest of the summer and the whole autumn, and only sent Amy to London in mid-September.

Every morning, Lin Yilong would prepare breakfast for the Yeon sisters, and the recipe was ordered by the sisters the night before, and the content was very mainstream porridge, and the main food of choice was one or two of oats, buckwheat, wheat or barley. The side dish is fresh leafy greens and is complemented by fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

All he could make was breakfast, and since Sister Yeang had eaten Lin Yilong's barbecue, she had deprived him of the right to cook dinner for everyone. Even if you can eat a little bit of milk chicken and bacon pasta, according to Vera, it's just instant noodles that are cooked with pasta and chicken and then served in pre-prepared heated milk, which is not much better than just boiling instant noodles. The extra few processes in the cooking process do not reflect Lin Yilong's really bad cooking skills. Lin Yilong also strictly tried the demonstration method on video websites and TV, but the things he made were not satisfactory, so he happily accepted the punishment and stayed away from the kitchen.

At other times, it is very relaxed and leisurely, and Aunt Claire, the clerk of the forest farm company, will find two mornings a week to come to the forest farm residence to clean up the kitchen and the shower next to the pool, and the rest of the area does not need Lin Yilong to do it himself. Lin Yilong's daily routine is to read all the precedents of the Court of Appeal, and if he finds something interesting, he writes an analysis of it and sends it to his law firm's website as an academic blog. As the managing partner, Lin Yilong still has a job under his name, but except for some occasions that require personal appearance or translation problems, he will never deal with other clients' problems - that is Katie's job.

The biggest influence of this schedule on Lin Yilong is that his most leisurely time is Monday when there is no precedent update, and when he is busiest, he has to analyze precedents, arrange the second week of work for other partners, and have a date with Katie, and on Sunday, he has to accompany Yeon and his family to the Orthodox church in Cardiff to listen to the "voice of the Lord" and "Sunday barbecue dinner".

"Isn't this kind of life a little too monotonous? On a Sunday evening near November, Lin Yilong asked the Yeang sisters when he sent away the last three boxes of white truffles to his clients, completing the last order of business at the Bracken Forest Farm before the New Year.

Such a question is out of place, and a recent hospital report said that Nadia and Vera are due just before Christmas. Considering the recovery of the puerperium of the sisters, it is very unsuitable for traveling. Not only their parents, but also Lin's father and Lin's mother, are eagerly looking forward to the birth of these two new members of the family. These people of the older generation seek stability and will not agree to Lin Yilong's travel plan.

"It's nice to be able to stay at home without thinking about the possible health risks. Vera gently tugged at Lin Yilong's ear and asked him to listen to the fetal movements of the child in her belly.

"I'm actually thinking about whether to let this child be born on the other side of the pond, and then I can go there and run for president. Lin Yilong quipped.

Millican is the only Western country that retains the nationality of birth, because its population is mainly immigrant, and in order to guarantee the "loyalty" of some specific positions, its constitution stipulates that only citizens born in the country can become its president.

If Lin Yilong's plan comes true, his child will be born with five nationalities, and there should be no problems with the procedures when he goes to any country in the world.

"What does the child want to do in the future. Nadia brought out three cups of black tea from the small kitchen next to the living room and criticized Lin Yilong's whimsy, "Let's think about what the child's name is." ”

Naming your child is always a hassle, because newborns can use three nomenclatures: if you follow the Eastern Slavic naming method, it is easy to do, but give a Christian name plus a patronymic and surname, it is also easy to use the Lin family naming method, surname + genealogy + first name, in addition, the Western European naming rules can also be tried.

There are problems with these three, I don't know if it's a historical reason, the women of the Lin family do not enter the genealogical sequence; and according to the East Slavic nomenclature, how Lin Yilong's name is declensed is a bit nerve-wracking; as for the Western European nomenclature, the Yeon sisters and Lin Yilong tacitly did not consider it.

"Why don't you use my Russian name?" asked Lin Yilong.

"Difficult. "All foreign names translated into Russian are not official translations, but generally recognized translations. ”

"Really. Lin Yilong said, "Otherwise, this child will have two names at the beginning, and he will choose another one when he grows up?"

"I don't think it's good, even if the child grows up, he is used to calling him by his name, and he rarely chooses another name, which sounds too awkward. Nadia said, "Well, let's just decide for once." ”

"Let's put that aside for now, and now there's a small one. Lin Yilong suddenly remembered a more critical question, "Who is the child's surname?"

"Don't you need your own family name?" Nadia and Vera were very concerned about this issue, as if they didn't take Lin Yilong's surname, as if the child was not Lin Yilong's.

"I don't care. Lin Yilong shook his head, "Since I have decided to sign in the 'father' column, then I will definitely sign it, and there will be absolutely no change." Because of tradition, the girls of the Lin family can't follow the genealogy, so they have to reflect my name. I've already figured out that if I give birth to a girl, I'll name it in Slavic nomenclature, and if it's a boy, I'll name it in the order of our family's ancestral genealogy—the Chinese character that my next generation must have is 'zhen', and the remaining two boys' names will give my dad a headache. ”

"So, if it's a girl, what is the name?" asked Nadia.

"Originally, I chose a lot of them, such as Praskovia or Euphrosine, but in the end, I chose two and I thought I could give them a try. Lin Yilong suddenly thought of two evil names, "Just call them Natalia and Tatiana." ”

'Natasha' and 'Tanya'?" Vera asked.

"That's right. Lin Yilong replied.

"Natasha" is the abbreviation for Natalia, while "Tanya" is the abbreviation for Natalia.
