Dad Xue thought for a while and explained: "My name was given by your grandfather. At that time, we were in the generation of 'wood', so everyone used words related to wood. For example, my name is 'Wu', and my third uncle's name is 'Wu'.
'Tong'."
"What about Uncle Zhilan?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Isn't he the same generation as you? Why does his name have only two characters, and there is no word for 'wood'?"
Dad Xue explained: "When your Uncle Zhilan was born, the society was in great turmoil. Some people said that old customs should not be discarded, so their cousins who were born two or three years after me were not named according to the genealogy. His name is
It was given to you by your uncle, who was already in school at that time, and according to old customs, his cultural level was already above that of a scholar."
"So that's it." Xue Ling nodded suddenly.
Dad Xue continued: "Your uncle likes literature, especially ancient Chinese. When he named your Uncle Zhilan, he was very happy. He seemed to have written a poem at that time, saying that it would be a reference for future generations to choose names.
.”
"Hey! What poem?" Xue Ling asked: "Dad, do you still remember? Maybe we can refer to it!"
Xue's father could no longer remember it, so he whispered: "It seems that there are some beautiful words with good meaning. I was not very old at that time, at most older than Xiao Ranran, so how could I remember any poems."
"Then forget it." Xue Ling completely stopped thinking and muttered: "Then let's continue to 'yangyang'."
Cheng Tianyuan saw that it was almost noon, so he wanted to go outside to get some food.
"Dad, what do you want to eat?"
"Dumplings." Father Xue explained with a smile: "I want dumplings stuffed with vegetables and meat, and a small bowl of soup."
Xue Lingze said: "I want a piece of ramen."
Cheng Tianyuan is from the south and likes to eat rice, so he secretly chose a box lunch.
"I wonder where Uncle San and Uncle Zhilan went?"
Dad Xue said warmly: "Just wait for a while. I guess he will be back soon."
Unexpectedly, the three of them waited and waited until it was already twelve o'clock, but they still didn't see them coming back.
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Ling Ling, I'll go out and look for you. You can take care of dad."
"Hey!" Xue Ling responded.
After Cheng Tianyuan walked out for a while, he met Dr. Li, Xue Sanbo's student, and he greeted him politely.
Dr. Li smiled and explained: "Just now I saw the teacher and Dr. Xue holding a little boy at the entrance of the hospital. The teacher said they were going to eat, and asked me to tell you when I came in that there was no need to wait for them to have lunch."
"Is that so? Thank you!" Cheng Tianyuan thanked him.
Dr. Li nodded, turned and left.
Cheng Tianyuan simply walked out of the hospital gate, ordered a meal, and then went to buy ramen and dumplings.
I thought that Uncle San and the others would come back after eating, but Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan kept waiting and waiting until after two o'clock and they still didn't come back.
Father Xue said with a smile: "It seems that he is too happy to miss Shu!"
Xue Ling sighed and said: "It's not good for this child not to be afraid of life. If he encounters a trafficker in the future and they say a few words to him, he will go with them willingly——"
"Don't worry." Cheng Tianyuan said: "With the third uncle and uncle here, there is no need to worry about these."
After a while, Cheng Tianfang came with his old father.
"I saw the Central Hospital site at the bus stop, and then I took my dad on the bus and took three stops to get here. It was very convenient."
Cheng Muhai explained with a smile: "I only know a few words. Fortunately, I have my daughter to lead the way. But it is really convenient. You can see the bus stop after walking about a hundred feet from the entrance of the community. It says that the No. 10 bus is coming, so you can go straight there."
, then get off the car when you hear the Central Hospital - that’s all. Haha!”
Dad Xue said warmly: "If you let A Fang take you twice, you will definitely know each other. We are not old people in our seventies or eighties, so it is not difficult to learn. The bus lines in the imperial capital have gradually become complete this year. As long as you know the general direction,
You can reach every corner of the city in more than half an hour at most."
"Convenient, very convenient." Cheng Muhai explained: "There are also buses in Rongcheng, but I don't take them often. I heard that there are only a few routes. I thought it was complicated and didn't dare to take the bus."
Cheng Tianfang smiled and said: "Dad, don't be afraid, just take a few more trips and you will understand. Uncle is right!"
Father Xue looked at Cheng Tianfang, smiled and asked: "Afang, have you reported to the training center?"
"We passed after lunch." Cheng Tianfang explained: "It's a pity that there are only five people in our cake class, but the teacher said that he will continue to teach and pay an extra 100 yuan for materials."
"It's really not cheap!" Cheng Muhai whispered: "I only studied for a month and a half, and I already paid two hundred."
"It's not expensive." Xue Ling said: "Because cakes require a lot of ingredients, such as eggs, flour, and ovens, which all cost a lot of money."
Cheng Tianfang apologized and smiled: "Dad, it is always a good thing to learn more skills. The teacher said that you can master the basic skills after more than a month of learning. From now on, we can control it ourselves and slowly improve."
"There are very few bakers and cake chefs nowadays." Xue Ling said: "As long as you learn how to do it, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money from this in the future."
"Really?" Cheng Tianfang asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you mean to open a bakery?"
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "There are not many such stores in the provincial capital and the imperial capital. As long as they are well opened and the food is delicious, it is very profitable to keep them."
"Then I will study hard!" Cheng Tianfang said with a smile.
Cheng Muhai didn't quite believe it, and couldn't help but ask: "How many people can eat what kind of foreign stuff? It doesn't feel very reliable! Will anyone like to eat it?"
"Yes."
Cheng Muhai nodded doubtfully, "Anyway, since I'm here and I've paid the money, let's go and learn."
After chatting for a while, Sanbo and Xue Zhilan came back holding Xiao Ranran.
"We went out to eat and went shopping after dinner. Don't worry, the child is fine."
Xiao Ranran smiled happily and said: "My uncle bought me a big windmill! Blow and blow! The windmill spins!"
Everyone laughed.
Cheng Tianyuan reminded in a low voice: "Have you ever thanked your uncle? Have you?"
Xiao Ranran whispered aggrievedly: "I...I was so focused on blowing it that I forgot about it."
Everyone laughed again.
Xue Ling said: "It's not too late for you to thank my uncle now!"
Xiao Ranran nodded obediently, looked at Xue Zhilan and said crisply: "Thank you, uncle! Thank you!"
"What a good boy!"
None of it was revealed."
The third uncle nodded in agreement: "He is not afraid of strangers, he is very well-behaved, and he is generous. This child has been taught very well."
Xue Ling was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she pursed her lips and snickered.
The third uncle looked at Xue Zhilan who was standing aside and said warmly: "When A Heng gets married and has children, you will have grandchildren to take care of every day from now on."
Xue Zhilan laughed loudly, his eyes full of anticipation.
