Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Child's Name
Before Dong's mother left, Dong Xiaoman asked people to help make a few objects, one of which was to imitate the crib of the later generations. There are railings everywhere, and even when he is too busy, the child is not afraid of falling under the bed.
The other is a stroller, which is actually a crib with four wooden wheels under it. Dong's mother is very curious about these two things, and she doesn't know where her daughter has so many strange ideas, and this daughter has become less and less like her own child since she got married.
Dong Xiaoman smiled and explained: "Actually, I didn't come up with it by looking at the carriage, Huanhuan is only a full moon with such a little Jue'er." If you don't find something to watch them, what if you bump into them? ”
Jue'er is the milk name of Dong Xiaoman's son, and his big name is Zhang Jue. Such a beautiful and culturally rich name was originally Dong Xiaoman, but it took a lot of effort to come up with it.
When Jue'er was born, Mrs. Zhang screamed in a mess, and Mr. Zhang was also very happy with this second grandson. Bao'er is the eldest grandson, and this generation is a jade generation, so Bao'er is called Zhang Bao. When Yun'er was born at that time, she was not more popular than Huanhuan, because she was named Yun'er because of the dark clouds that day. Until now, there is no official jade name, and Huanhuan is also called Huanhuan because of Dong Xiaoman's expectations.
The eldest grandson Zhang Bao, the second grandson Liu was born named Zhang Huan, and the youngest grandson Zhang Jue. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a long time, she wanted Zhang Jue to be called Zhang Qiu, and she was also a jade name, which was also very cultured.
Balls? Where would Dong Xiaoman agree? But as soon as she objected, Mrs. Zhang had something to say.
"What rules? Why don't you want to give your elders a name? Qiuqiu, what a good name, Meiyu. It's a better name than Bo'er. ”
Dong Xiaoman was depressed when he thought of this name, Qiuqiu, do you want my son to look like a ball? Besides, Meiyu should also be called Jue.
"To say that Meiyu is nothing compared to the word Jue. That's the king of jade. I think that our children will be masters in the future, and they will be as promising as his third uncle. No one can get past us! A tentative explanation, his eyes plinking to Saburo.
San Lang already felt that the second brother and sister-in-law had a hard time. Now when she received the eyes of the second sister-in-law asking for help, she immediately stepped forward and said: "Mother, your name is good, but the most wonderful word in this jade is Jue." If such a name is called, it will be a step forward, and I am afraid that we will all have to touch his light in the future. ”
In fact, Dong Xiaoman thinks that the name, as long as it's not a cat or a dog, it doesn't matter, it's just that he is too depressed when he comes in, and he just doesn't want his mother-in-law to be satisfied. Forgive her for being ignorant. Dong Xiaoman thought silently in his heart.
"Ah, a step. Oh, my son is better than I can say, you're right, okay. That's the name. Mrs. Zhang looked at her youngest son happily, she felt that her son was a scholar, so what he said must not be wrong.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. This cloud is so big, she doesn't have a big name yet, but she is the first child in our family. Li Shi saw that they had finished discussing, and hurriedly took advantage of everyone's happiness to come forward to ask for a name for his daughter.
Only then did Mr. Zhang remember that his eldest granddaughter is eight years old this year, and she doesn't have an official name yet. Mrs. Zhang snorted in her nose when she heard this: "Do you still use a name?" Just call Zhang Yun and it's over. ”
Li Shi hated in his heart, bit his lip to calm his breath and smiled: "But that's not a jade character generation." (Because of limited knowledge, please don't dislike Momo's ignorance of traditional Chinese characters)
Old man Zhang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason. Li Shi smiled wryly: "I think it's better to call Zhu'er." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the Li family had already prepared, and Old Man Zhang nodded indifferently: "Okay, Zhu'er will be called Zhu'er." ”
Yun'er's teary eyes rubbed her heart and she was aggrieved, Bao'er heard her sister change her name, and immediately pointed at her sister and smiled: "Pig, ha, pig." My sister changed her name to Pig. It's a gilt. ”
Mrs. Zhang ignored her grandson's stubbornness, and just asked Li curiously: "You are illiterate, why do you think of the name?" ”
Li Shi pointed at San Lang embarrassedly, and said with a red face: "I went to ask for uncle, this is a pearl pearl." It's also a rich name, thinking that it can be auspicious. ”
Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then said with a smile: "In the end, he is the most knowledgeable person in our family, and his name is good." ”
Saburo looked out the window speechlessly, he didn't want to take such an ugly name. Pearls and jades are all copper, and they smell cheesy and die.
Dong Xiaoman saw that Yun'er had changed to Zhu'er, so he simply said: "That Huanhuan's name should also be called, I don't know if my father-in-law has any good names?" ”
Old Man Zhang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I originally thought it was a grandson, and my name was Huan'er." But I didn't expect it to be a female doll, so I put it down, and now the name is given to the second child. ”
Dong Xiaoman pretended to look at Huanhuan deeply, and said faintly: "Before Erlang left, he gave the child a name, although it is not particularly good, but it is not bad. ”
As soon as she heard that Erlang had started it herself, Mrs. Zhang, who hadn't heard from her son for a long time, came to her senses: "What did he call the child?" ”
"Shan, that's what it means coral." Dong Xiaoman said slowly, with some weakness.
"Coral? What's that? Mrs. Zhang was confused, and subconsciously looked at the most knowledgeable person in her heart.
"It's a thing in the sea, and it's also a medicinal herb. Something as precious as pearls and amber. San Lang glanced at Dong Xiaoman suspiciously, and Dong Xiaoman quickly lowered his head weakly.
"Ah, let's call it that. My sister is called Pearl, my sister is called Coral, and when I have it later, I will call it Amber. Hehe, look at the names of our family are different from those of others, and they are different at first glance. Liu Shi hugged his son and beat Ha Luha, not wanting Mrs. Zhang to stare coldly: "What sister?" In the future, they will give birth to a son for me, so I don't have to say anything? In the future, Saburo will not give birth to a daughter, so he will give birth to a son for me. ”
Dong Xiaoman is used to this patriarchal phenomenon, and he doesn't care about living his own life anyway.
"I said, brother and sister, your little bed is really good. Ming'er also asked your eldest brother to give me a pair, my family Huan'er is getting more and more energetic now. Liu Ruyi looked at the crib in Dong Xiaoman's room and couldn't put it down.
She held the ring in her hand. Since she had a child, her waist has also thickened, her arms have also shaped, and she has a lot of strength.
Dong Xiaoman glanced at Huan'er, and he didn't know how Liu Ruyi raised the child, the little face was as red as a potato.
Speaking potatoes. Dong Xiaoman really misses that little thing, he can make so many styles, potato chips. Potato chips, am I destined to lose your life with you? "Oh, I said brother and sister, you're too clean. You kid is very good, why do you always wash the child, be careful of catching a cold! Liu Ruyi saw Dong Xiaoman washing his son's ass again, and persuaded him.
"Jue'er just pulled a big pool, how smelly it is if it is not cleaned." Dong Xiaoman is embarrassed, but his son's ass is really soft. Oops, children's skin is just good.
"What's this, you just wipe it with a damp rag. I told you that you have to live on a free-range basis for children, and you serve so expensively that only a big family can do. Liu Ruyi disdained the suggestion, and Dong Xiaoman glanced at the child in her arms. Finally understood what to do, her child always had the smell of a child's urine.
"My sister-in-law came here to see me bathing the child?" Dong Xiaoman felt that he was perverted, and he didn't like others to disturb him, so it would be better if he was a sister-in-law.
"It's not a big deal, it's just spring ploughing, last year's harvest was not good, but this year you have to work hard." Liu Ruyi sighed, and Dong Xiaoman was stunned: "So what?" ”
"Oops, didn't you tell me what to say about you? You don't know how to farm with two children in your family, and your eldest brother means that he helped your family plant. You're in charge of watching a few kids, and I'll come and ask you. Liu Ruyi couldn't get used to Dong Xiaoman's attitude of not caring about anything, and her great kindness was worthless to her.
"Okay. When the time comes, I'll ask my eldest brother to help me plant those two acres of paddy fields. As for the six acres of medium land, I think my maternal brother and my nephew are about the same. Dong Xiaoman is embarrassed to owe others favors, but he is very happy that this uncle's family is finally a little better to himself.
Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I forgot that you still have a brother to help you, and your nephew is Xiaohu." I don't think it's better to do this, and we'll help you plant four more acres of medium land. Those two boys have never planted a field either. Delaying spring plowing is not a joke. ”
Dong Xiaoman didn't care about the profits that those few acres of land could bring out, anyway, he didn't miss that thing if he had money and grain in his hands.
Dong Xiaoman agreed, Liu Ruyi happily completed the task, said a few words of gossip and went home.
After the spring ploughing began, Zhu'er and Bao'er came to Dong Xiaoman early every morning with the weaned Huan'er. As soon as the children knocked on the door, Xiaohu Xiaogang put down the dishes and chopsticks and took the hoe to work as if he heard the password.
Dong Xiaoman's life began to have a regularity, after getting up in the morning to feed, he cooked for Xiaohu Xiaogang, fed the chickens and ducks in the morning, watched the children cook at noon, waited for Xiaohu Xiaogang to come back, coaxed a few children to take a nap in the afternoon, washed and washed, and cooked a hearty dinner in the evening to send the three children home.
It's really a little contradictory after a long time, the specific thing is that Bao'er doesn't want to go home, in his opinion, if the second aunt is his own mother, then it is the happiest thing.
There is no other reason, Dong Xiaoman is actually a good-tempered person, and a few random children at home make trouble. made a good dish again, Dong Xiaoman originally felt that his younger brother and Xiaohu came over to help at least make the family eat well, and now that there are two more children, they will naturally be attentive.
Huan'er is a few months older than Huanhuan and has been weaned, and the treatment is the same as Huanhuan's, drinking goat's milk and eating egg custard every day. Dong Xiaoman is a parent who is used to children, and he also grinds red beans carefully to make snacks.
There is never a shortage of snacks at home, especially fried snacks, small spring rolls, sweet potatoes, and vegetarian meatballs. And there is never less meat on the table, and it is also a great skill of his second aunt to eat fresh vegetables at this time.
But when I got home, I had to look at my mother's violent temper and say that I would turn my face, and from time to time I would quarrel with Aunt Liu, and I would be upset when I thought about it.
Zhu'er prefers Dong Xiaoman, and usually follows Dong Xiaoman to learn to cook, sew and mend clothes, and can also read and write. The key is that the second aunt never scolds herself for being stupid, and she always pays herself this and that if she doesn't hit herself.
When I returned home, I was scolded by my mother every day - losing money and goods, and the comparison between the two is naturally better here than the second aunt.
When Li saw that the two children did not want to see their own home, they were unwilling to come back, so they were not happy. At first, I thought about it beautifully, saving myself worry, but after a long time, I felt that Dong Xiaoman had robbed his child. (To be continued.)
