Chapter 44: Names
If you want to talk about confinement, it's actually very unreasonable. Chinese have to go to confinement after giving birth, but foreigners do not say this. On the contrary, Chinese are prone to all kinds of confinement diseases, and foreigners do not seem to say this. Honggu's health is very good, only two days after giving birth, she is alive, and the milk is enough, even better than the spirit before giving birth, but she is not afraid of 10,000 just in case, in line with the principle of safety, Tang Ge still likes to strangle all bad possibilities in the cradle, so he can only bitter Honggu and continue to hold it at home.
Honggu's birth is a happy event, and a big feast is indispensable. Tang Ge once again felt that there had been a lot of feasts in the tribe recently, and it was simply one after another.
As soon as I finished participating in the thank-you banquet of Banpo dolphin, I returned to Yuexiang and Brother Liang of my tribe, and rushed back to participate in the baby's wedding banquet. The brothers and sisters gathered together, but Tang Ge was very happy.
Last time, because of the war, Tang Ge barely got along with them well, and after he came back, he was so depressed that Dashi sent Yuexiang back and took care of Tang Ge attentively. In this meeting, Tang Ge finally regained a little bit of vigor, and while taking care of Honggu, he also spoiled Yuexiang very much.
Yuexiang likes to listen to stories the most, so Tang Ge tells Yuexiang and Ah Liang and Qingguo all kinds of stories every day, and later, old jokes such as Journey to the West can no longer satisfy them, so Qingguo plucks Yuexiang every day to pestering Tang Ge and asks Tang Ge to tell them new stories, but Tang Ge is tired enough, and his brain cells don't know how much he died.
After the feast, Honggu finally persuaded Tang Ge that she could go out freely. It's really Honggu's physique is too good, it's only been ten days, and she has recovered almost as much as before pregnancy.
The first thing Honggu did after going out was to go to find the fat witch, because she had a very important thing to do, that is, to ask the fat witch to bless the baby. Blessings are a very serious matter, and they cannot be given indiscriminately. But whether it was out of Honggu's own contribution to the tribe or the kindness of Akang's ancestors to the Banpo dolphin, Fat Wu couldn't refuse Honggu's request.
Tang Ge accompanied him throughout the whole process, and once again saw the blessing ceremony of the fat witch. Unlike the last time he just touched his head and muttered sutras, this time the fat witch also dipped his fingers in the ashes of the grass and trees and drew a flame totem pattern on the baby's head. With the Holy Flame, everything is different.
After the blessing ceremony was completed, Tang Ge thought that Honggu was about to leave, but who knew that Honggu actually made an unexpected request to Fat Wu.
"This kid hasn't come up with a name yet, can you help me come up with one?" Honggu hugged the baby and asked cautiously.
When Tang Ge heard this, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and he said that I wanted to break my head, and I thought of so many beautiful and atmospheric names, in the end, you actually begged this uneducated fat woman? What the hell is going on in Honggu's mind!
When the fat witch heard this, she pondered for a long time, and when she saw a beast skin on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up. Tang Ge suddenly had a bad premonition.
Those were the two words that Tang Ge wrote down casually when he explained the text to Fat Wu, the first one was the word for water, and the second was the word for mountain. It is written in both oracle bone and simplified characters, and from that day on, the animal skin has been sitting on the table of the fat witch until today.
"Look at those two words." The fat witch spread the animal skin in front of Honggu, pointed to the words on it and explained: "This Nianshui, this Nianshan!" This is a word with a figurative image! ”
Honggu's eyes shone like torches, staring greedily at the animal skin in front of her, and muttered, "Is this the word?" Only these two? ”
Fat Wu glared at Tang Ge and said, "There are only these two now, and there may be more in the future." ”
Tang Ge hurriedly interjected: "Hey! Don't look at me like that! I said, if I want to learn simplified characters, I can write them at any time, but it's too childish to use these two words as a name! ”
"Don't interject!" Honggu glared at Tang Ge viciously, and asked the fat witch cautiously: "Then my son is called Shuishan, how about it?" ”
Fat Witch nodded and said, "Very good!" ”
"What a fart!" Tang Ge was anxious and yelled at the two: "Shuishan? Is that a name given to someone? Besides, how many of them are already called mountains in the tribe? It's a vulgar and rotten street! How can my brother be called by such a name! ”
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Honggu and Fat Wu roared at Tang Ge in unison, and Tang Ge was stunned.
"Can I take this hide with me?" After roaring Tang Ge, Honggu clutched the writing animal skin tightly, although she asked carefully, but she didn't mean to let go.
The fat witch waved his hand generously and said, "Take it!" I can draw another one. ”
Honggu smiled, folded the animal skin upright, and gently stuffed it into the baby's swaddling clothes.
Tang Ge hurriedly said: "I said, did you hear my words!" The name Shuishan is really ugly! I'm telling you I can write anything! I'm good at writing individually! ”
"Smack!"
Tang Ge received a heavy slap on the head. After beating Tang Ge, Honggu still raised her eyebrows and shouted coldly: "Don't make trouble, okay!" ”
"I have a son, forget my nephew......" Tang Ge's eyes were red, and he said aggrievedly.
Honggu, who returned home, followed the devil, turned over the animal skin and looked at it over and over, and kept saying to the baby while looking, "My son has a name!" "My son's name is Mizuyama!" "My son's name can be drawn!"
Tang Ge looked at the smirkling, crazy woman-like Honggu, remembering that Honggu had taken a heavy slap just now, and suddenly felt that the little baby in his arms was not so cute. By the way, his younger brother already has a name, called Shuishan......
"Mountain! Mountain! Mountain! I don't know, I thought it was Qingshan Changshan and his brother......" Tang Ge muttered.
"What did you say?" Honggu, who was going crazy, didn't hear what Tang Ge said, and asked subconsciously.
"I said I'm going to the market tomorrow! Let Akon cook your meal for you first! Tang Ge said angrily.
"Still angry?" Honggu smiled and said heartlessly: "Go!" Go ahead! I've been tired of you these days, so it's good to go out for a walk. ”
"Humph!" Tang Ge got up and left, and when he walked to the door, he couldn't help it, and turned his head and yelled at Honggu: "The name Shuishan is ugly!" ”
