Chapter 9: Naming Turmoil
"Oh, good son, look at this is your uncle, laugh quickly!" Li Zhi just made a place to sit down, and before he had time to take a sip of water, he saw his cousin Li Ming running over with a smiling face like a flower holding the child, and he was far away, which made many people laugh.

The child may be frightened by the laughter or Li Ming's movements are a little inappropriate, and they are scared to cry! Wow, wow, Li Zhi stood up embarrassedly, glared at his cousin, then took out the gift box that had been prepared long ago from his pocket, opened it, and took out a small golden lock for the baby to hang on.
"Oh, it's really like your father!"
"Ade, brother, what are you talking about?" As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Li Ming immediately quit, what about kidding? If you don't have the same seed as yourself, who else can you give it to?
"What's the matter? Isn't this like you? Li Zhi also felt that his words were a little ambiguous, but he didn't want to admit it, who told this soul to disturb himself before he drank saliva and rested.
"Oh, that's a golden lock, right?"
"What golden locks? That's called a longevity lock, no culture! ”
"Yes, the golden lock is my goddess!"
……
After the group of people below laughed for a while, someone found the point, and when they looked at the color of the lock given by Li Zhi, they knew that it was definitely a golden lock. In rural areas, gold and silver are considered hard currency, and many people do not look down on even diamonds.
Li Zhi also saw this golden lock in a gold store next to the provincial railway station when he came back, and he happened to have no gifts in his hand, and it was also a custom to buy a longevity lock for his nephew, and it didn't cost much to take it down!
In fact, the main reason is that the price of gold is low now, and if it was a few years ago, he would not have dared to buy a gold lock! More than 20 grams is a lot of money, but now it is at least a third cheaper.
"Oh, my son is about to call Uncle this gift is really true!" Li Ming also noticed the golden lock hanging around his son's neck at this time, and said with joy on his face and pride.
Most of the rural people have a good face, and it is not easy for their cousin to make a move! Now, even if the price of gold falls, it will cost four or five thousand soft sister coins. If you hold a banquet by yourself, you can get a maximum of 10,000 yuan, which can give him a long face.
"Come on, less! What kind of cry did the child cry, and he didn't report it to his mother! Li Zhi glared at Li Ming fiercely and roared, it was really that this little cub's voice was not ordinary, and he couldn't stand the buzzing in his ears.
"That's not good, you have to give a name first!" Li Ming was stunned for a moment and patted his son who was still crying, and then after saying it seriously, he didn't give Li Zhi a chance to say yes, and knelt down directly with his son, which can be regarded as kneeling on behalf of his son.
"yes, take the name!"
"Take a name!"
"Ash, you have a good name!"
The following group of people also watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and they began to coax one by one, as for Li Ming's kneeling of his eldest brother, it was nothing, and it was also considered a generational kneeling, so naturally no one would laugh at it.
"Hurry up, don't you just have a name! This kid looks like a noisy cub, and it just so happens that their generation is the Ning generation. Well, then call it Li Ningyuan! Quiet and far-reaching, I also hope that this kid will be able to endure and have a grand plan in the future! Li Zhi pulled it up, Li Ming looked at the crying child seriously, and then said with a smile, anyway, rural people like names with meanings, good colors.
"Okay, good guy is really a college student who has drunk ink!"
"Tranquility Zhiyuan doesn't know what it means, but it's not bad to have a grand plan."
"Oh, Ash, you can't favor one over the other!"
"Does the third child also ask for a name?"
"It's a pity that his family is a girl, and she is not here yet! But it shouldn't be a problem to go to Ash's house at night to ask for a name, Ash, this kid is good! “
…….
Li Zhi was naturally happy when he saw the group of people below applauding, but when he saw that the third cousin was about to follow the coaxing, he immediately flashed people, and as for the thank you gift that Li Ming took out, he didn't want it. After seeking a name in the countryside, parents should take their children and carry a thank you gift to thank them.
At this time, the child stopped crying, his little eyes looked at everything around him in confusion, and his fleshy little hands waved a few times from time to time. The big guy looked at Li Zhi who was away in surprise, this godfather is really a match!
There is also a saying that rural people are looking for godfathers, and that the child's crying is more serious, so they should find a godfather who is in tune with the child, so that a good name can help the child go to disasters and ward off evil spirits. In a word, this child's godfather is looking for the right one.
If the child is still crying, he has to continue to look for it, and even ask the husband to calculate what zodiac sign and what life personality to find. In the countryside, it is not uncommon for some people to have four or five godfathers, although there are some superstitions, but they can also do it, and the love of parents for their children is selfless.
Li Zhi had no choice but to hide in the kitchen, and then Li Ming, who came over, accompanied him and talked for a while before taking Li Zhi to the table. In the countryside, the full moon wine is relatively simple, but it is essential to drink brown sugar eggs in stewed soup of old hens.
"Brother, I've inquired about the reservoir. The drought in the past two years has been a bit severe, and the storage of water in the Sanshuiwan Reservoir is small, and it seems that no one plans to contract now, if you want to contract, I will accompany you to the Water Conservancy Bureau tomorrow. After sitting down and drinking a glass of wine with the guests who were doing it, Li Ming leaned into Li Zhi's ear and whispered.
"Cheng, let's go to the county tomorrow to see the situation. This year should be better, let's see how it goes! Li Zhi thought about it, anyway, he was not just for fishery farming, and the serious drop in the water level of the reservoir naturally did not need to be considered too much.
"Cheng, then you eat slowly, I'll go toast first." Li Ming also knew that Li Zhi had quit drinking now, and after drinking a glass of beer, he was already very face-saving, so he naturally stopped accompanying him, and the other guests had to be greeted, Li Zhi also nodded and lifted the rice to eat.
I didn't eat well this day, but now I look at my favorite dishes on the table and the familiar taste, and my appetite instantly increases. After eating three bowls of rice in a row, many people came to him to drink, Li Zhi naturally refused one by one, and returned a cigarette regardless of what everyone said.
After eating, Li Zhi and Li Ming said hello to the third uncle, looked for their mother, took the key, and went straight to the house.
Because the village is built in a canyon between two high mountains, the village is naturally opened in a straight line, Li Zhi's house is located at the end of the village, and there are about 50 households in Lijiagou. Further back is a big river, a waterway from the Sanshuiwan Reservoir, and further on is the mountains and forests.
Walking on the country road, smelling the evening breeze with the fragrance of earth, Li Zhi felt that his body was soft. It's still a familiar recipe, the same taste! The earth dog that ran by from time to time saw Li Zhi barking twice, as if welcoming Li Zhi's return, and his mood was indescribably happy.
