Chapter 15 My sister has a big name from now on
The little sister listened to it, but still crawled on her father's back and did not move.
"Disobedient, Dad doesn't love you anymore." Li Chongpin laughed and teased her, and continued to hold the blowtorch. He blew violently on the pimple of firewood, which first emitted a few puffs of green smoke, and the room was suddenly filled with smoke.
The little sister was so smoked that she rubbed her eyes, and she sang in a milky voice: "The smoke and smoke don't smell me, I am the plum blossom in the sky." One of you, one of me, kill a pig and draw the gang. The dog collects firewood, the cat makes a fire, and the cow cooks to kill me. ”
When the four of them heard this, they all laughed in unison. Li Hushi walked over, pulled her in his arms, hugged her, and asked affectionately, "What's your name?" ”
"I don't have a name yet! They all called me 'Autumn Girl'. The little girl pursed her lips and replied complainingly.
"It's so ugly! Such a well-behaved little girl, why did she choose this name? Li Hushi broke off a piece of brown sugar and stuffed it into the mouth of the little sister and asked her.
"They said that they wanted me to be obedient, and when the day was good, when the grandfather who was in charge of the ancestral hall came to name their boy, he asked him to give me a name by the way. Is it a long time to be a 'good day'? When did that grandpa come? Why did he only name the boys? The little sister asked curiously while sucking on the brown sugar.
"Today is a 'good day', and your grandfather is sitting in front of you!" Li Dequan sat next to him, smoking a dry cigarette, and said with a smile.
Li Chongpin blew the firewood lumps in the fire pond on fire, and the flames jumped to the top of the fire. He stood up and shouted respectfully: "My grandfather and my wife are coming to the fire pond to sit and roast the fire. ”
Li Zaihao listened, nodded, did not say a word, and still sat there smoking dry tobacco. Seeing that Li Zaihao didn't move, Li Hushi knew that he was in good health and didn't like to roast fire, so he hurriedly took Li Chongpin's words and said politely to Li Dequan: "Look at your family's busy!" We are not so delicate, and we will not sweat when we walk a little bit of mountain road! There's a fire in the house, just sit here. ”
"It's better to be careful!" Li Chongpin said respectfully.
Li Dequan also carefully persuaded beside him: "Mom, are you busy?" You and your dad are rare customers that we can't even invite! ”
"What a rarity! We are 'stinky' guests who meet every day! Li Hushi hugged his little sister and asked her jokingly: "You say, isn't it?" ”
The little sister sucked brown sugar, opened a pair of beautiful big eyes, nodded inexplicably, and did not say anything.
"Autumn girl, say no!" Li Dequan hurriedly took over the words, urged his granddaughter, and said to Li Hushi seriously: "My granddaughter, I look forward to you coming over every day and giving her a good name!" ”
Li Zaihao sat next to him smoking a dry cigarette, and heard the meaning of Li Dequan's words, knowing that he wanted to ask me to name his granddaughter, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he took this opportunity to express his heart.
It is a big deal for Li Jiashan people to choose a name. There has always been a rule here: when a male baby chooses a name, he must hold a "catch the week" ceremony at the end of his birthday, and then ask the patriarch of the ancestral hall to follow the "character faction" handed down by the ancestors of the Li family, first row out the generations, and then add the surname in front of the "character faction" and add the new name at the back. This method of choosing a name is also called the "character school".
The Li family's "character faction" is that after Li Zhong and Ma Yong were recruited by Wang Cong'er as sons-in-law to become brothers-in-law, they discussed that they wanted to become in-laws forever, and they could not mess up the generations, so they started with their own "names" and determined the "character faction", with twelve generations in a round, and the first and sixth generations according to the same "characters" to determine the generations. The order of the "character school" of the Li family is: loyalty, bravery, Zai, morality, Chong, Wen, Guang, Tian, Bao, Jing, An, and Min. The order of the Ma family's generations is: loyalty, loyalty, benevolence, righteousness, calligraphy, literature, biography, family, wealth, source, breadth, and progress. Li Jiashan's people generally only name male babies according to the "character school", and female babies don't need to be named like this because they are all people who want to marry. If the female baby is also ranked and named according to this "character school", it will be more inconvenient for the female baby to find her mother-in-law. Therefore, the patriarch of the ancestral hall generally does not name the little girl.
Li Zaihao looked at the well-behaved appearance of the little girl in front of him, and liked it in his heart. He just heard Li Chongpin call her "Autumn Girl", he felt very awkward, he wanted to blame them, the name given to this little girl was not good, but because of her identity, it was inconvenient to talk about it. At this time, he heard what Li Dequan meant, and he wanted to let him name this little girl. However, he rarely gave the little girl a name, and he couldn't think of a name for a while.
His wife hugged the little girl, took the words, counted Li Dequan, and said: "'Back time', why do you name such a well-behaved little girl 'Autumn Girl'?" ”
Li Dequan listened, took off the dry tobacco pot in his mouth, and replied with some embarrassment: "She was born in autumn, and her father called her this nickname by the way." Her grandmother and her mother didn't like the name either, and asked me several times, but I couldn't think of a good name, so I shouted after them. ”
"Born in autumn? is another lively and lovely, kind-hearted little girl. Lee Jae-ho flicked his fingers on the table, and drew on the table for a while, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the jade bracelet on his wife's hand, and said, "There you have it!" 'The autumn moon is like jade, the ice is clear and pure, pray for good health, and the family is happy', the milk name is 'Yu'er'! The big name is Li Yufu. ”
"Yu'er? Li Yufu! Nicknames and big names are all easy to say! Li Chongpin squatted next to the fire pond, heard the name that the young master gave his daughter, and shouted happily to his daughter: "'Autumn Girl' has not thanked your grandfather, from now on, your big name will be 'Li Yufu', and your nickname will be 'Yu'er'." ”
"My name will be 'Li Yufu' in the future? Is the nickname 'Yu'er'? What do you mean? Does it sound good? The little girl snuggled in the arms of Li Zaihao's wife, sucked brown sugar, opened her eyes wide, and asked with a very innocent look.
"Nice! Good! Even if your whole family has you as a jade-like girl, you will definitely be very happy! Li Hu was happy, and as he spoke, he took off the jade bracelet he was wearing on his wrist and put it on Yu'er's wrist, Yu'er's wrist was small, so Li Hu'er simply put it on the arm outside her clothes. Li Hu said to Yu'er while putting on a bracelet: "Your name is as good as this jade bracelet!" ”
"Mom! Why are you handing over such a valuable thing to a little baby? Li Dequan saw it next to him and hurriedly stopped it.
