Chapter 299: Yang Qihang, Yang Ou
The arrival of the Qinjiacun villagers made Qin Huairu very happy.
Chen Hong watched Qin Huairu bustling back and forth, but didn't say much.
Others still thought it was just deep neighborly affection.
Bang Geng didn't want to come over, showed his face, then ran off.
Xiao Dang, meanwhile, brought Huai Hua to watch the two little beans, and found it remarkable.
Rou Dan introduced them.
"These are my younger brother and sister."
"You must not bully them."
Xiao Dang, pointing at one of the little beans, asked.
"What's his name?"
Rou Dan looked toward his own father.
Yang Qing said offhandedly.
"Rou Qiu."
Xiao Dang then pointed at the other one and asked.
"And this one?"
Yang Qing again said offhandedly.
"Gui Hua."
That's right, the name comes from the osmanthus tree in his yard.
It highlights a carefree nature.
Upon hearing the name, Chen Hong didn't let Yang Qing feed them, and snatched the bowl and chopsticks away.
"I'll eat it myself."
"What name did you come up with?"
"Rou Dan, Rou Qiu, Gui Hua."
"Or is it genius?"
Yang Qing said indifferently.
"A humble name is easy to raise."
Chen Hong ignored him.
"Give a good formal name."
"If it's unpleasant, I'll never let you hear the end of it."
This has turned into a threat.
He probed.
"Yang Feng?"
Chen Hong's chopsticks in her hand smashed directly onto his head.
Yang Qing had to get a bit serious.
"Then how about Yang Qihang? Together with his brother it becomes 'setting sail,' how about that?"
Chen Hong chewed it over and approved the name.
"Not bad; what about the daughter, what should she be called?"
Yang Qing probed, asking.
"How about Yang Ou?"
Qin Huairu puffed out a laugh: "Is this about going up against the sea?"
Yang Qing replied.
"Our whole nation lacks the spirit to face the sea head-on."
"If our ancestors had the courage to face the sea, the whole world would already be descendants of the dragon."
"Nor would we be like now, stuck in one place, letting others complete the encirclement."
"This shackle, we could hardly break in a hundred years, let alone several hundred."
Yang Qing's words left Qin Huairu a bit dazed, while Chen Hong sensed his expectation.
She couldn't help but say.
"They're just children."
Yang Qing instantly changed his expression, revealing a relaxed smile.
"Yes, they're children; how they walk their path is their own affair."
Qin Huairu glanced at Xiao Dang, whose name is Jia Dang, and Huai Hua, whose name is Jia Huai Hua.
Suddenly she felt the name was low-class.
She was unhappy; what is this?
The name should be changed while they're still young and able to.
She looked toward Yang Qing.
"Yang Qing, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua's names are too ordinary."
"I want to give them new names; can you help me come up with two nice-sounding ones?"
"Ah………"
Yang Qing was dumbfounded, and Chen Hong also scrutinizingly looked at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu shrank her neck at being looked at, and hurried to explain.
After hearing your children's names, I feel our children's names are simply terrible.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Now that we have a comparison, my two daughters would be laughed to death by others.
Yang Qing picking names is so good.
She said while taking Chen Hong's hand.
Please, Sister Hong, just help.
Just one 'Sister Hong' almost made Chen Hong unable to bear it.
We're about the same age, you calling me sister?
Being called 'Sister Hong' repeatedly by Qin Huairu, Chen Hong nodded for some reason.
Yang Qing had a black line on his face; naming nowadays is quite particular—how could you let another man name your own child?
This is the right of the family themselves.
But Chen Hong nodded, so Yang Qing couldn't easily refuse Qin Huairu.
After thinking, he spoke up.
Xiao Dang, let's change it to Xiao Fei— the 'Fei' in 'wen cai fei ran' meaning outstanding and beautiful; Xiao Fei, little outstanding, little wealth and peace.
As for Huai Hua, the name is indeed a bit ordinary; better to call it Ling— Jia Ling, Huai actually has the meaning of Ling, indicating cleverness, liveliness and spirituality.
Qin Huairu, upon hearing it, liked this name; outstanding and clever are pretty much the same meaning, and the connotations are all good.
Very suitable for a girl's name.
Chen Hong hearing it also liked it.
Ah, this name is good; suddenly I feel Yang Ou is not pleasant to hear.
Yang Qing rolled his eyes.
The one asking for help is you, and the one glaring jealously is also you.
Yang Qing cautioned.
Just liking it is fine, but this matter must not be known by others.
Just say you asked a naming master to give the name.
Better yet, you actually go find a master to see if these two children's names match their fate.
If this gets out, who knows how many rumors will arise.
Qin Huairu left, and Yang Qing continued to take care of the three young and one old at the hospital.
Chen Hong was already big; squeezing three little ones onto the bed already filled it up, so Yang Qing could only make a floor pallet.
In the deep winter, one can imagine how uncomfortable sleeping on a floor pallet is.
After sleeping a week, Yang Qing couldn't take it anymore— his whole body stiff, sore and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Chen Hong then voluntarily requested discharge.
Back home, Yang Qing felt his doghouse was like heaven.
The old lady saw the two little soybeans and grinned uncontrollably.
Is this the meatball? You're not even fat— how did your dad give you such a name?
He must be afraid you won't get enough to eat.
This is osmanthus, right? Fierce and cute, like Hong Hong.
Osmanthus is good— you just grow together with our osmanthus tree.
Just like it— fragrant, sweet, tasty, and can even shade a patch of sky, letting the family enjoy the cool.
Goodness, the old lady's expectations are too high.
Forget it, Grandma; as long as someone wants them when they grow up, that's enough.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Without expectation, everywhere is a surprise.
The old lady also felt her expectations were too high.
Right, you just need to be beautiful like a flower.
Let your father handle the rest.
Chen Hong laughed heartily.
Rou Dan accompanied Chen Hong in watching the children, quiet and well-behaved, like a guard, staying beside the meatball.
It seems he suddenly lost a lot of interest.
He only felt interested in his younger siblings.
Only then did Yang Qing notice the abnormality.
Rou Dan, why aren't you playing with your little toys anymore?
Rou Dan lifted his head.
I want to watch my younger siblings.
Yang Qing rubbed his head.
Younger siblings, Mom and Dad will watch; watching children is an adult's job— you can go play what you like.
I heard you want to build a big car.
Watching your younger siblings leaves no time to build a big car.
Yang Qing helped him take out his favorite iron-skinned jumping frog, plus the rubber-band car and rubber-band wooden boat he made.
Rou Dan, however, remembered the old lady's words.
It's so hard— he wants to play, but fears Mom and Dad won't love him.
He looked at the toys, then looked at his younger brothers and sisters.
He let out a wow and cried.
"It's so hard, so hard."
Damn, Yang Qing was dumbfounded. What's going on?
He had no idea what was going on.
What's going on?
Yang Qing picked up his son and asked gently.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, why are you crying?"
Rou Dan said, choking up.
"I want to see my younger brothers and sisters, and I want to play too—what should I do?"
Wuu wuu wuu……
Yang Qing was quite happy and quite fond—who wouldn't like a son who can help look after the kids?
Who wouldn't like a child who knows to love his younger siblings?
Yang Qing suggested.
"Then just bring your younger brothers and sisters and play together."
"Mom and Dad will escort you."
Rou Dan widened his eyes—there was actually such a perfect solution.
