Chapter 944: Do You Know How to Speak? What Misfortune?

Eldest cousin Xiao Wancheng spoke first upon hearing the question: "Xiao Xiao Panxia was born in winter; that year was especially cold. When your cousin's wife was close to giving birth, she somehow developed a craving for a slice of watermelon and kept saying, 'If only it were summer.' So when registering her birth, we gave her this name."

Hearing this explanation, Liu Chuxue found it truly hard to comment; the couple had been far too casual with their daughter's name. If the child grew up and learned the origin of her name, how speechless would she be?

In contrast, the three-month-old nephew's name, Xiao Chenze, left little room for overthinking.

At this, the eldest uncle's wife also spoke up: "You still have the face to say that? Wait until your daughter grows up and asks you, then see if you dare speak like this again. I advise you to change her formal name while she is still young and doesn't remember; Xiao Xiao Panxia can serve as her nickname."

Xiao Wancheng glanced at his wife beside him: "Such a big matter should be decided by Limin; I'll just run errands."

The eldest uncle's wife rolled her eyes at her son and said in a bad mood: "Later, I'll have Xiao Xiao Panxia show filial piety only to her mother and ignore you."

These words made everyone laugh.

After several rounds of wine, Xiao Changjiang looked at his youngest son: "Wan Peng, regarding the postponement of your wedding date, explain it properly to Duan Ruirui. I obtained a radio ticket; take it later as compensation from your mother and me."

Xiao Wanpeng had not been angry to begin with, nor had he expected such an unexpected gain: "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Rest assured, Duan Ruirui and I can understand."

The matter had already happened; what else could be done? Who was to blame for being born just a few minutes later than the third brother?

Speaking of this, the Xiao elder looked at his eldest son: "By the way, how is Wan Li's wife?"

Xiao Changjiang looked at his own wife, signaling her to speak.

The eldest uncle's wife smiled, filled a bowl of soup for the elder, and handed it over: "That Miss is a good one. Most importantly, our family's rascal boy has taken a liking to her. Although there were some mishaps in between, the outcome is good. They said they would try to request leave to return when Wan Peng gets married."

At this, Miao Yiqiu spoke up: "How have you arranged the wedding date for Wan Peng and the others?"

The eldest uncle's wife looked at her youngest son with a pitiful expression: "When Chuxue got engaged, it was said she would marry upon turning eighteen. I thought the wedding dates for the three siblings should be at least a hundred days apart, so it would have to be August at the earliest."

After speaking, she quickly picked up a chopstickful of food and began eating, fearing her son might look at her; after all, pushing it back by over half a year was truly somewhat...

At this moment, everyone turned to look at Xiao Fu.

The Xiao elder asked: "Has Chuxue's wedding date been set?"

Xiao Fu nodded: "I was planning to tell everyone after the meal. The date is set for May Day; conveniently, the next day is Sunday, giving two consecutive days off. Then everyone won't need to request leave, and they can rest at home for a day the following day as well."

Xiao Wanpeng wore a look of grievance: "In the end, Duan Ruirui and I bore it all."

Although Xiao Wanpeng was joking, everyone in the Xiao family agreed with his words.

The Xiao elder then spoke: "This matter did indeed wrong you and that child, Duan Ruirui. Since your parents have given you a radio ticket as compensation, I happen to have a watch ticket here as well; you take that too."

Xiao Wanpeng's face was filled with surprise: "Really?"

The Xiao elder looked at him with amusement: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Xiao Wanpeng laughed until his eyes disappeared behind his eyebrows: "I have turned misfortune into blessing."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his back received a strike from his mother's Iron Palm: "Do you know how to speak? What misfortune?"
