"His last name is in accordance with the original agreement between the two families. When he grows up, he will naturally know that he is the same as the other brothers and sisters in the hearts of his parents. The only difference is the last name." Bai Shan said: "The other children's last names,
That is the sacrifice we make for our elder brother or younger brother. When he grows up, even if we act like a bowl of water when he is growing up, he will inevitably feel dissatisfied and feel that he is not more important than his elder brother or younger brother, which devalues himself.
"
Bai Shan paused and then said: "And if I act like this, I will feel guilty and have a guilty conscience, and my actions will be inappropriate. This will not only harm the child, but it will definitely harm myself."
Therefore, he will not let the third child replace Xia Mu, nor will he let the eldest sister change her surname to Xia...
Lao Zhoutou understood half of it, but not the second half, but he didn't hesitate. Seeing his insistence, he said: "Okay, since you have determined that this child will bear the surname Xia, then I will lead the way for you, hum.
If you want your child to change his surname, you have to step over me!"
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's good that Duke Zhou is determined, and the Bai family won't embarrass you too much."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly thanked Old Zhou and sighed: "Thank you for today."
Lao Zhoutou said: "Don't worry, in-laws. Although you only have one uncle in your family, we have six sons in our family, and Manbao's nephews have all grown up. If the Bai family is still messing around, I will ask Shiro to write
Send a letter to call them all to the capital, and then the two families will have the confidence to sit down and talk."
Mrs. Liu: "...Thank you very much, in-laws, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Bai Shan hurriedly asked Lao Zhou to go down to rest. Zhou Dalang helped Lao Zhou go down. Zhou Lang stood next to Bai Shan, bumped his shoulder and asked: "Why are they more excited than their own son being adopted?"
Ah, is this your and Man Bao’s son?”
Bai Shan sighed: "I didn't expect this either."
He also felt that this was his son. He and Man Bao started naming him when they first determined the gender of their unborn child, and they all took the surname Xia.
Who knew that people from the clan would come out to oppose it now?
Zhou Lang looked around and whispered: "I remember you mentioned before that you want to divide the clan?"
Bai Shan's brows jumped.
Zhou Lang said in a low voice: "Why not take advantage of this opportunity? If you want to say split the sect, you will directly be the sect leader and you will decide everything. How great?"
Bai Shan smiled helplessly and said, "It's not that easy to separate sects."
"Didn't Mr. Bai's family separate back then?"
"A large part of the reason is the war," Bai Shan said: "My cousin's family is far away from the direct descendants. They are distant relatives among distant relatives. At that time, it happened to be war, and the clan members were separated. Some people went to Jiannan Road to establish a clan.
There were also those who went to Jiangnan and Lingnan to establish ancestral clans. At that time, it was too late to pay attention to etiquette, rules, and clan interests. As long as they could survive and build ancestral halls, it would be a service to the family."
"Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the clan members are scattered all over the place to serve as officials. Unless the population is so prosperous that the hometown cannot be accommodated and cannot survive, the clan will not agree to split the clan." What's more, he is now the youngest of the younger generation of the Bai family.
There is a promising person, even if it is for the glory of the clan, they will not let him go.
Unless he can offer a large enough benefit in exchange.
An exchange of benefits that might be appreciated by the clan...Bai Shan would probably go down the road of breaking the law and discipline.
He didn't want to be caught by Senior Brother Tang one day and then have a tearful scene with Zhou Man in the cell.
Bai Shan was thinking wildly in his mind, and finally couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, I know this well. Don't worry, Fourth Brother, Man Bao and the children won't be wronged."
Zhou Lang didn't quite understand the twists and turns of a big family like theirs, so he waved his hand to show that he listened to him, "If in our village, all the small families agreed and were reasonable, the family would generally not interfere too much.
If you really interfere, the two families will have a fight and it will be over, and whoever wins will listen to whoever wins."
Bai Shan: "...Fourth brother, don't let your brothers do anything, otherwise it will be a bad thing."
"Don't worry, this is not a village, and we are not stupid. We won't beat them up."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the main courtyard, kid Bai Jingxing was still looking at his younger brother, who was also awake and looking up with his round eyes.
The servants brought the meal up, and Bai Shan helped Zhou Man sit down at the table. The two of them watched the children while eating, "Have you chosen which of the nicknames grandma and mother gave to Da Lang?"
When the child Bai Jingxing heard this, he immediately raised his head and said, "Mom, I also gave my brother a nickname."
"Oh? What's it called?"
"Xiao Bai," Bai Jingxing said, "Look, my brother has turned white. This is because I have been calling him Xiao Bai for the past two days. My great-grandmother and grandma said that this is how the nickname should be given."
Bai Shan looked disgusted and said, "This nickname is not good at all. Our family name is Bai. From now on, when people call me "Xiaobai" outside, I don't know how many people will respond. I will choose a new one."
He turned to Zhou Man and said, "Hurry up and choose one of the nicknames given by your grandmother and mother."
Otherwise, with his daughter's current level of education, I'm afraid his son will blame them in the future.
Zhou Man said: "Is it better than eldest sister?"
"What's wrong with you, eldest sister? What a friendly nickname..." Bai Shan muttered.
When the kid Bai Jingxing heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "I know, if he goes down my ranking, he should be called Second Sister!"
Bai Shan picked up the food with his chopsticks and thought thoughtfully, "It sounds pretty good when you think about it this way."
Zhou Man's eyes widened, "Are you serious?"
Bai Shan turned to look at his son in the cradle next to the table, "Don't you think this nickname is very good? Throughout the ages, there have been many famous people or emperors called Nuer Jiaoer Sister, and they grew up like this.
The boys are not only smart, but also healthy."
Zhou Man bit his chopsticks with a tangled look on his face, "Although I think what you said is reasonable, I don't think he will like it. How about you think about it again?"
"I won't think about it anymore, I won't think about it anymore, I just want this nickname," the kid Bai Jingxing ran forward and hugged Zhou Man's arm, shaking him and saying, "Mom, this is the ranking. If you have a younger sister in the future, you will be the third sister."
Zhou Man: "...What if there is another brother?'
"That's the Fourth Sister."
Zhou Man: "...I'm not very talented in naming, so I leave your father and great-grandmother to choose your nicknames. How about this, your father has already chosen your nicknames, you can go find them.
Great-grandmother, let’s discuss it with grandmother.”
Zhou Man worked harder for his son's future happiness, "Let's call him Dalang for now. If you can't come up with a nickname, you can discuss it with him when he grows up."
Bai Shan whispered to his daughter: "Go find your grandmother."
Mrs. Zheng loved her eldest sister the most, and she would not respond to anything she said.
The father and daughter looked at each other and laughed evilly, and the child Bai Jingxing turned around and ran to find his grandmother.
