Grandpa stretched out his hand and hugged Liu Lang over. Grandpa is now only forty-five years old, still considered a middle-aged man, but his hair is already a little gray.
"Grandson, grandson!"
Grandpa kissed Liu Lang again and again.
"Let me see, let me see!"
The second uncle, the third uncle and the aunt also came over to take a look, but the old uncle was only eleven years old and was so small that he couldn't reach it at all. He didn't move forward and sat down on the kang looking impatient.
Look, I saw the dictionary thrown aside and picked it up to read it.
"Stay aside, why are you joining in the fun? Don't touch my son!"
My father immediately stopped the second uncle, third uncle and aunt. The three people curled their lips and said nothing.
Liu Lang knew that his father was the eldest brother in the family. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father. Apart from the grandparents, it was the father who made the final decisions at home. This was not because his father was old, but because his ability determined his status in the family.
A few years ago, there were eight people in this big family including grandfather, grandmother, father, second uncle, third uncle, aunt, old uncle, and Tai Nai. At that time, only grandfather, grandmother and father had jobs, and the three of them supported themselves.
How difficult it was to open your mouth eight times. At that time, my father was still working in the iron mines and earned work points. What are work points?
A unit for measuring work, the one who can do the most work earns more work points. It is calculated every day, and the calculated work points in the last year are converted into wages. At that time, each work point of my father was worth six cents, which was enough to earn him in one year.
More than 6,000 work points, which is about 3,780 yuan, which is an average of 323 yuan per month.
A man who can earn 3670 yuan a year from work points is already a leader in the iron mine. For an average young man, a man who can earn 30 yuan a month from work points is already good. Liu Lang's father
He has a strong body and a spirit that is neither afraid of hardship nor afraid of death. Moreover, in the entire mine, my father is also "highly paid".
You must know that now is an era of more work and more rewards. Even if you are a mine manager, you will not earn as much as front-line workers. When Liu Lang was a child in his previous life, he heard his father's coworkers talk about how his father owned a large company with more than a thousand people there.
He is a model worker every year in the mine, and he was honored to join the party at the age of nineteen. In terms of party experience, he is longer than many national leaders of his generation...
Even my grandfather, who was the deputy director of a large chemical factory at this time, only earned thirty-six yuan a month. Before my grandmother got sick, she worked in a spring factory.
Twenty-seven yuan, the two of them added up to just sixty-three yuan, even in 1980
In this era when rice costs 1.38 cents per catty, flour costs 17 cents per catty, and pork costs 93 cents per catty, it is not easy to feed a family of eight, and my father shares the family's worries with his own labor.
Based on this, he enjoys a high status in the family, and his younger brothers and sisters must be obedient.
"Dong Lai, have you thought of a name?"
Grandpa asked while holding Liu Lang in his arms.
"Not yet!"
Father muttered.
"Dad, I just went to Donglai and looked through the dictionary for a long time, but the first time I turned it up, I found a dog, and the second time I turned it up, I found a dog. None of them sounded good, so you should give me a name!"
Mother said with a smile.
"Hahaha, puppy, puppy, it's so interesting!"
Before anyone else could say anything, Liu Lang's old uncle, who was sitting on the kang, burst out laughing, patting the edge of the kang while laughing.
Liu Lang's old uncle is only eleven years old now, and is still a little kid. This "name" is the funniest joke he has heard recently. He couldn't help laughing for a while. His second uncle, third uncle and
My aunt was a little older and although she found it very funny, she still endured it.
"Laugh your ass off!"
Father glared.
"Dong Wei, go play by yourself and don't make trouble here!"
Grandpa waved his hand and drove Liu Lang's uncle out.
"Dong Lai, did you really look up the dictionary twice, once for dog and once for dog?"
At this time, the master who had been standing silently suddenly asked.
"Uncle, isn't it? You two are knowledgeable, so it's better for you and my dad to give this name to you!"
My father sat down on the kang and gave up.
"What a father! I let someone else name my son, and then I took the "naming rights" as my own. When I grow up, if he says that he named him again, I will take this fact.
Speak out!"
Liu Lang couldn't help but express "contempt" for his father in his heart.
"I'm afraid this is a hint, I have to think about it carefully!"
Liu Lang knew that this old man was very fond of ancient Chinese literature and Chinese studies, and especially considered himself to be very knowledgeable about the Book of Changes. It seemed that he had received some inspiration from his father.
"I want to take a closer look at how they came up with this name!"
Liu Lang himself was very curious.
"The names of your generation are all based on the characters left in the family tree. The eldest is Donglai, the second is Dongxue, the third is Dongbao, and the fourth is Dongwei. However, now that the country has implemented family planning, every family can only have one child.
The family tree is useless...but the things about the ancestors are still not complete
Throw it, you look in the dictionary, this is a hint, there is a truth in it, let me think about it... The words "dog" and "dog" are very vulgar, so naturally they can't be named. Well, by the way, they are both canines, and so are wolves.
Canines are extremely ferocious, why not call this wolf?"
"Liu Lang?"
Liu Lang almost spit out a mouthful of blood after hearing this explanation. This name is really beastly.
"I am Lang, not a wolf or a wolf-dog. Why are you and the dog so dead?"
Liu Lang is not yet full moon, and the muscles of his mouth are still weak. If he could speak, he would probably shout out now.
"Haha, uncle! This wolf is just like a dog. You can't call it this name. I do have a good word."
Liu Lang's aunt suddenly spoke at this moment.
Liu Lang's aunt is only eighteen years old this year and is in her prime. She has a black braid hanging on her shoulders.
"Hua Jin, tell me what name we should give it to?"
Liu Lang's father asked.
"There is a saying in Dream of Red Mansions that one is "Lang" garden fairy flower, and the other is beautiful jade flawless. The word "lang" here refers to beautiful jade. My little nephew is so white and looks like beautiful jade, so why not call him Liu?
Langba!"
"My aunt! That's Langyuan fairy flower, it's Lang, not Lang...!"
These relatives, it turns out that my name is a typo! Liu Lang felt helpless to complain.
"Liu Lang, Liu Lang! Okay, this name is good, this is the name!"
The master nodded frequently in praise.
"Hua Jin, it seems you didn't read this book in vain! Not bad, not bad!"
Liu Lang's grandfather patted his daughter's head.
Finally, after many twists and turns, Liu Lang finally had a name. As a public case in history, under Liu Lang's personal witness, the truth was "revealed." However, Liu Lang believed that as time goes by, this period of history will still become clearer.
It's unclear, the protagonist will change from an aunt to his father and master, and he can only pretend to be confused, otherwise he will offend these two "big guys".
