"Keep your voice down. I just told Chengwen to be quiet, but you can't hold your breath anymore." Grandma patted Grandpa with her hand, and then immediately raised her finger and shushed her mouth.
Li Chunqiu and Li Chengwen looked at each other awkwardly and smiled, and immediately fell silent.
Grandpa thought to himself, am I not too happy?
Besides, I don’t know who shouted so loudly just now when I was getting ready to go out at home that I wanted to let the whole village know that you had a little great-grandson in your family.
Family members entered the ward one after another. Yang Yunu, who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes again when he heard the arrival of a group of elders and called softly: "Grandpa, grandma... Why are you all here? You are rushing from home in the middle of the night.
It’s so unsafe to come to the county seat. It will be almost dawn in a while, so we can just wait a little longer.”
Li Chunqiu looked at his grandson-in-law, smiled with satisfaction, and glanced at his grandma: "How can your grandma keep her composure? As soon as she heard that her little great-grandson was born, she couldn't get a plane to fly directly to the county town.
"
When grandma heard this, she snorted: "Am I the only one who can't hold my breath? What about you? You kept chatting all the way in the car, talking about who your great-grandson looked like and whether he looked good... You really can't speak, Yunu.
She looks so good-looking as Fuwa, can the baby grow differently?"
Li Chengwen watched his parents bickering and couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "Mom and Dad, please stop making trouble, you see... the baby has woken up."
Sure enough, the little baby who had just closed his eyes and wanted to sleep suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw a group of elders surrounding him, the little guy curled up his mouth and cried "Wow" in an instant.
.
The crying made the grandparents immediately stop talking, their faces were embarrassed and at a loss, and they all accused the other party of disturbing the child.
Chen Xiuzhi immediately picked up the baby and comforted her: "Hey, good baby. Don't cry or be afraid. You see... as soon as you were born, my grandpa and grandma came to see you, so don't cry anymore."
However, Chen Xiuzhi held the baby around for a long time, but to no avail.
Father Li Chengwen had not held the baby yet. Seeing that Chen Xiuzhi was confused, he immediately thought: "I'll do it, I'll do it, but you can't coax her. When Fuwa was a child, she stopped crying as long as I hugged her. Giving birth is a
It's your women's business, but it's our men's business to hold the baby."
What kind of fallacy is this? If you want to hold a baby, just say so. Where do you get so many excuses?
With that said, Li Chengwen gently held the baby tightly in his arms without waiting for Chen Xiuzhi to react.
Li Qingyun on the side looked at his father helplessly.
Was I really like that when I was a child? As long as you hug me, I won’t cry?
This is unscientific! As a boy, he should prefer his mother to hold him, right?
Li Chengwen proudly held the baby in his arms, rocked it gently, and hummed a nursery rhyme. This was the first time Li Qingyun saw this scene. He really didn't realize that his father actually had such a maternal side.
.
However, even though Li Chengwen hummed a nursery rhyme, the baby in his arms showed no intention of calming down.
At this time, grandpa coughed twice and spoke righteously: "Chengwen, please coax the baby...you can't do it either! I woke the baby up just now, and I still need to tie the bell to untie it.
People, um, if I come to coax the baby, it will definitely stop making trouble."
Grandpa's words left everyone present speechless.
Can you find a worse reason to hold a baby?
Li Chunqiu spoke. Li Chengwen didn't dare to disobey. Just as he was about to hand the baby to his grandfather, his grandma intervened again: "You need someone to tie the bell to untie it? Then I'll coax him. Your little great-grandson will definitely listen to me."
The baby was tossed back and forth in the hands of several elders, but the crying sound not only did not subside, but became more intense than before.
Sun Daqi and Granny Fu also hugged the child, fearing that the child would cry too much, so they quickly gave the child to Yang Yudie who was eager to give it a try.
Unfortunately, this sister-in-law held such a small baby for the first time and was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. The baby cried even harder.
With no other choice, Li Qingyun quickly stood up: "You guys give way... let me do it."
Father and son are connected. Li Qingyun has been holding him since he was born. This little kid still likes the feeling of his father holding him.
Everyone hugged each other once, which was quite enjoyable. Although my sister-in-law Yang Yudie was a little reluctant to let go, she still handed the baby into Li Qingyun's arms in order to keep the baby from making noise.
This feeling in my arms is really strange.
The little baby's big black eyes stared at Li Qingyun, and the crying suddenly started. He didn't even need Li Qingyun to coax him, and he calmed down, opening his mouth and chirping, as if he wanted to laugh, but with him
Judging from his age, it is estimated that he is still unable to use this skill for the time being.
The baby was completely quiet, and the elders in the ward were silent as well. Just looking at the warm appearance of the father and son, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Chengwen suddenly lowered his voice and said softly: "Look, does the baby look very much like Fuwa when he was a child?"
"By the way, can you still find the photos of Fuwa when she was a child? When the baby comes home, let's take them out and compare them. The more I look at them, the more they look like her."
After Li Chengwen finished speaking, several elders nodded.
The baby gradually calmed down under Li Qingyun's comfort and looked a little drowsy. Only then did Li Qingyun hand him over to his mother.
Yang Yunu, who was lying on the bed, looked at the happy expressions of his elders and felt happy in his heart. He had lived up to their expectations and gave birth to a grandson and a little great-grandson for them.
"Grandpa, the baby hasn't been named yet. Mom just said that it's up to you to decide the name." Yang Yunu looked at his grandfather and said.
Li Chunqiu looked at the baby and couldn't decide for a moment: "This generation should be the Ming Dynasty generation, as for what to call it..." Li Chunqiu suddenly looked at Li Qingyun, his eyes were fixed, as if he had made some decision: "The name will be given.
Come and get Fuwa, he is also a college student after all, haha!"
Li Chunqiu's words made all the elders present slightly stunned.
Li Chengwen and Chen Xiuzhi looked at each other and felt a little incredible.
It is a rule in the family that the head of the family is named according to the seniority in the family tree. Only the head of the family has this qualification. But now, the fourth-generation grandson of the second branch of the Li family, the only one who continues the family lineage, is named Miaomiao.
The matter was actually pushed to Li Qingyun by Li Chunqiu.
Li Qingyun's position in the heart of his grandfather Li Chunqiu can be seen from this.
"You want me to choose a name?" Li Qingyun was stunned and looked at his parents who were also a little surprised. He was just extremely surprised... This is against the rules.
But looking at his grandpa's expression, which didn't seem to be fake, Li Qingyun knew that his grandpa wasn't joking.
But if he really had to choose his own name, Li Qingyun didn't know what to do with it.
You can still think about the nickname by yourself, but the big name will accompany your son for a lifetime. It is better to let the grandfather choose the name, so as not to end up with the name in the household registration book, feel it is inappropriate, and have to change the name.
Furthermore, rules are rules. Grandpa is the parent, so no one can argue about the naming.
As a result, Li Qingyun shook his head firmly: "Grandpa, I have to trouble you with the name. I, a college student, are worthless at all. If I were so educated, would I be able to come back to farm? It would be better to go to the postgraduate and Ph.D. examinations. Wouldn't it be better to be a scientist?"
"Besides, there is no rule without rules. Isn't this what you always say?"
Li Chunqiu's original intention was that his grandson had the ability to lead his family to make a fortune while not forgetting to enrich the village. Thinking about the recent changes in the village, it was not all because of Li Qingyun's potential factors. Everyone gradually became rich.
?
Which worker on a farm or in a fishery doesn’t get an enviable high salary?
I won’t talk about them, but just because the construction of the fishing center and the bamboo house hotel attracted so many tourists, the villagers set up carpets and started a farmhouse.
Others may not understand why the recent changes in Qinglong Town are so drastic, but Grandpa knows that one thing affects the whole body.
Just based on what Li Qingyun has done in the past year or so. If we could go back two or three hundred years, the position of the future patriarch of such a large family would definitely belong to Li Qingyun.
In addition, there is one last point. If it weren't for this grandson, Li Chunqiu wouldn't think that his talent foundation was so good. Breaking through to the third level... wouldn't it be because of Li Qingyun's chalcedony liquid?
After all, Li Chunqiu actually has only one meaning... Although I am the elder of this branch, Fuwa can also represent me now.
However, the sentence "Nothing can be achieved without rules" made Li Chunqiu feel relieved. Seeing Li Qingyun's evasion, he stopped insisting: "If you are not sure about Fuwa, then I will get it. According to the genealogy, this little guy should be
Mingzi generation..."
"If you know your mind and your nature, if you are at ease, why don't you call me Mingtai, Li Mingtai."
Li Chunqiu gave this name to vaguely express the high hopes he had for this little great-grandson.
Understanding one's mind and seeing one's nature, that is, understanding one's original mind and seeing one's true nature which is neither born nor destroyed, is the great state of enlightenment in Zen Buddhism. The speech path is cut off and the mind's conduct is destroyed. If you understand this principle, you can see the Tathagata.
To be at ease means to be able to deal with adversity, difficulties or setbacks calmly, as usual.
Li Chunqiu didn't teach his son martial arts before, he didn't teach his daughter martial arts, and he never taught his grandson martial arts... In fact, he already regretted it. Now that he has a great-grandson, he doesn't mind passing on all the martial arts he has learned to this little guy.
Taken together, this name means that if you have a better understanding, I will pass on all my skills to you. When encountering difficulties, you must persevere and maintain a normal mind.
Li Chengwen and Chen Xiuzhi were very satisfied with this name. They didn't have a high level of education and didn't understand what it meant. Whatever grandpa said, that's what it was, as long as it sounded nice.
"Li Mingtai, Li Mingtai..."
Li Qingyun muttered several times, and he had no objection to this name, saying: "Grandpa's name is very artistic, and his requirements for the little guy are too high. As a father, I don't have high expectations for him.
"
"I don't want my son to be a dragon. I just want him to be ordinary, safe, and eat and drink all his life. It's better to be a dragon than a bug. His nickname will be Chong Chong."
Bugs?!
The parents looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Even if they don't expect their children to be successful, then you wouldn't turn it upside down and just relegate yourself to a worm, right? This kid's name would be unreasonable.
Regarding Li Qingyun's decision, Yang Yunu expressed his support with a smile: "This name is very nice. Anyway, we have food and drink at home, why do we have to make our children work so hard? In the future, as long as we don't be bad people, we will inherit our family honestly."
Just do your business."
Grandma didn't understand, and muttered: "It's not the old days anymore. The family has plenty of food and clothing, and we're not afraid of not being able to feed our children. So there's no need to deliberately give a cheap name, right?"
In the past, resources were scarce, but rural people liked to give their children nicknames, like Ergou, Daniel, Fatty...
It’s an old saying that a bad name will last a long time. Who would give their baby a bad name now?
The village is full of "big cows" and "two dogs" barking all day long, how unpleasant it is to hear.
However, Sun Daqi, who had been silent for a long time, waved his hand and said with a somewhat proud smile: "I understand, haha. This nickname sounds ordinary, but it actually has another layer of meaning, right?"
"Ah, another layer of deep meaning?" Sun Daqi's words made Li Qingyun dumbfounded. Chongchong is Chongchong, what other deep meaning is there?
Seeing everyone's eyes gathering, Sun Daqi didn't show off and said directly: "When I was a child, I was an insect. When I grow up, wouldn't I turn into a cocoon and become a butterfly and soar into the sky?"
Li Qingyun was completely speechless. Isn't this old man's ability to make amends too strong?
Yang Yunu also covered her mouth and snickered, feeling even more satisfied with her son's nickname! (To be continued...)
ps: Yesterday’s monthly vote was so crazy. Many friends voted dozens of votes. I didn’t understand it at first, but then I thought about it...I figured it out...are you celebrating the birth of the protagonist’s son?
