Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11759

"Li Suihe, year after year, may you be peaceful and harmonious, beautiful and kind."

"Oh my god, Third Brother, are you possessed by the God of Literature? This name is amazing!"

Liu, who was standing next to Yang Huaming, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and write it down."

Yang Huaming snapped out of his daze, "Right, right, I have to write it down quickly, Li—Sui—He!"

"Third Brother, please continue!"

Yang Huazhong raised his hand to stroke his beard, but found nothing. So he continued to fiddle with the empty wine cup beside him, pretending to be deep in thought...

"Yiqian, Yi means good, Qian means modesty. Modesty leads to a down-to-earth attitude and good interpersonal relationships. One must guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

"Ryan, Rui means good fortune, En means he should never forget the kindness of his parents in raising him, and grow up to be a filial and responsible person!"

Today, Yang Huazhong was truly brimming with inspiration, coming up with seven or eight names for the child in one go, and each name was unique, with an explanation following each name so that everyone could understand them clearly.

"Third Uncle truly lives up to his title as village head, he's amazing!" Kang Xiaozi gave a thumbs up, his flattery coming from the bottom of his heart.

The Li brothers' eyes lit up. Although they couldn't read—the three brothers combined knew no more than 10 characters—they had ears, they could hear, and they could understand.

They immediately praised Yang Huazhong's skill, calling him a master of naming and saying that having knowledge makes all the difference. What would be very difficult for others, Yang Huazhong could do with ease.

Yang Ruoqing and the Sun mother and daughter had already sat down together.

Hearing everyone praise Yang Huazhong, Sun couldn't hide her smile. This made her even more excited and happy than when others praised her.

Yang Ruoqing was also full of amazement. Among her father's brothers, her eldest uncle was the most educated and was the one that the Yang family focused on cultivating.

Even so, his eldest uncle, Yang Hua'an, only passed the preliminary examination and stopped pursuing further studies.

His family arranged for him to marry a deaf-mute woman, and from then on, he changed course and entered the track of carrying on the family line.

As it turned out, Yang Hua'an did indeed run quite fast after switching to a different track. He also met a great teammate, and the two had four sons in a row, expanding the Yang family line.

So even though Yang Hua'an himself didn't achieve much in his studies, as someone who had given birth to four sons for the Yang family, he considered himself a contributor to the family and always had a place at family meetings.

He personally handles all the writing and drawing required for holidays and festivals.

Even the names of Old Yang's grandchildren were chosen by him.

The same applies to Da'an and Xiao'an.

However, the girls' names were chosen by their parents themselves, because Yang Hua'an only named the boys and didn't want to waste his brain cells on girls. In his eyes, it didn't matter how good a girl's name was, since she would belong to someone else's family sooner or later...

“My father was always suppressed by my eldest uncle and never had the chance to show his talent and knowledge.” Yang Ruoqing looked at her father, who was surrounded by people and looked radiant, and a guess suddenly came to her mind.

"If it were earlier, instead of supporting my uncle, my grandparents had done everything they could to help my father study, and who knows, he might have passed the imperial examinations!"

"After all, you can see from Da'an that Yang Huazhong and his wife, Sun, are both highly intelligent when it comes to studying and learning."

Sun was no fool. Her needlework, her noodles, her chickens and ducks, her vegetable garden... she was among the best of all the women in the village.

A son's intelligence is mostly inherited from his mother and father, so Da'an's success was actually predetermined, because his parents were both outstanding, but they never had the opportunity to show their talents.

"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, that's all I've taken. You all pick one and see if there's one you like." Yang Huazhong was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise, and his old face turned red. Even though he hadn't drunk much liquor today, the redness on his face was much more intense than if he had drunk too much liquor!
Li the eldest said, "I think Yiqian is good. A person should be humble and down-to-earth; that's how you get along with others." Li the third chuckled and said, "That's right, Yiqian fits our character perfectly. We're all honest and kind people, haha..."

Li Laosan's words were cut short when Li Laoda glared at him with his eyes wide open.

"Who would say they're kind and honest? They'd be laughed at. So don't say it," said Boss Li.

Li Laosan chuckled.

Yang Huaming said, "I really like the name Chang'an, Li Chang'an. Not only does it have a good meaning, signifying longevity and peace, but it also shares the character 'An' with Da'an and Xiao'an. How wonderful!"

When everyone heard Yang Huaming say this, they all realized that it was indeed the same character as Da'an and Xiao'an!
"Second brother, what do you think of Li Chang'an?" Li Laoda asked Li Lao Er with a smile.

As the child's biological father, Li Lao Er certainly has the right to speak.

Li Lao Er's honest smile was on his face as he said, "Chang'an or Yiqian, these names are all good, I'm almost spoiled for choice..."

Boss Li waved his hand: "Enough with the nonsense. You pick one and see what's a good name. I'm fine with anything, hahaha..."

Li Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion..."

"What suggestion? I asked you to choose a name, why are you so slow?" Li Laoda had a bad temper, and he just couldn't stand Li Laoer's behavior.

However, Yang Huaming was very protective of his son-in-law, saying, "Don't be so impatient. Let the second son speak and hear what suggestions he has."

"Second brother, you speak, your father-in-law is listening!"

Li Lao Er said, "I think every name on this paper is good, really."

"But the person who makes the final decision shouldn't be me, it should be He'er."

He'er?

Everyone looked at each other.

What does this have to do with He'er? You, Li Lao Er, are the child's biological father. Shouldn't you be the one to decide the child's name according to the rules? Isn't that how it's always been?

Only Yang Ruoqing, after clearly hearing Li Lao Er's words, narrowed her eyes and looked at him with great interest.

Li Lao Er continued, "He'er is the child's mother. From pregnancy to childbirth, she suffered more than ordinary women. I don't need to elaborate on this; everyone has witnessed it."

Everyone nodded silently.

From pregnancy to premature birth, the situation was unstable, with various minor problems occurring frequently.

She was born two months premature and almost lost both herself and her baby.

"Therefore, I believe that He'er should make the final decision on the child's name!" Li Lao Er said firmly at the end.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone applauded.

The person clapping was Yang Ruoqing.

"My brother-in-law is right, I support him!"
