Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1754 Fate
Han Li was taking Hao Hongmin's pulse when he heard Hao Jianghe say this. He knew that Hao Jianghe had been beaten into eunuchs and now had become somewhat neurotic about his expectations for offspring.

However, since Han Li had already promised Hao Jianghe, he didn't intend to go back on his word.

The advantages of children taking their mother's surname are obvious: someone helps raise them and takes care of them. When Han Li is managing his businesses, this line of business will be much easier to manage.

On the other hand, does having the surname Hao mean he's not his own son?
Han Li had just said a few words to comfort Hao Jianghe, who was still feeling touched.

Following Han Li's instructions, the nurses cleaned up the delivery room and then brought over the baby's placenta.

After thanking the nurse, Han Li spoke to Hao Jianghe and Jing Shujuan.

"Please take care of Hongmin for now. I need to go out and settle the baby's placenta."

Hao Jianghe originally planned to arrange his grandson's placenta according to Shanghai's tradition, but now he was afraid that Han Li would change his mind, so he did not raise any objections.

Han Li carried the bag containing his son's placenta into the elevator. Seeing that no one was around, he put it into his decomposition space.

While Han Li was looking at the night view and smoking in the garden downstairs, Hao Jianghe took out an old almanac from his bag and talked to Jing Shujuan while flipping through it.

"Our grandson was born on March 26, 1983 (Gregorian calendar), which is the 12th day of the second month in the lunar calendar, at 6:18 PM."

That is, the year of Guihai, the month of Yimao, the day of Guichou, and the hour of Renxu.

For children born at this time in spring, the God of Happiness is in the south, the God of Wealth is in the south, and the God of Fortune is in the north.

Our ancestral home is in Shanghai, and Hong Kong is to the south of our hometown, which means that our children will receive good fortune and wealth here in the future.

Also, after Hong Kong's return to China, it would naturally fall under the jurisdiction of the Sijiu Urban Management Bureau.

So, the God of Fortune is in the North, which must have come down to Han Li. He's from Beijing and is also the director of Peking University. He must have a lot of connections there. Isn't that exactly the source of his grandson's good fortune?

Moreover, according to the book, my grandson has a very good destiny.

If this were ancient times, my grandson's ability to pass the imperial examination with flying colors and become the top scholar would guarantee him at least a sixth-rank official position. This is comparable to Fuyuan in the north.

My grandson will have an excellent destiny, whether he goes into politics or business. Whatever he does will go smoothly, hahaha.”

Jing Shujuan put down the towel in her hand, glanced at Hao Jianghe who was so happy he didn't know what to do, and said.

"Have you arranged your daughter's nutritional meals after she wakes up? Have you thought about your grandson's formal name and nickname? Have you discussed these with Han Li? If he doesn't like them, do you have any backups?"

Hao Jianghe: "."

While smoking downstairs, Han Li thought about it again and again, feeling that he should let his parents know that they had another grandson, and that even if his parents knew, they would not tell anyone.

After making up his mind, Han Li threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, left the garden bench and went to the phone booth. He picked up the phone and dialed Mianhua Hutong in Beijing.

Just then, Han's parents had finished putting the three boys, Da Ming, Xiao Liang, to sleep. Han's father went to pour out the foot bath water, and Han's mother, who was inside the house, heard the phone ringing and immediately answered it so as not to wake the children.

"Hey, who is it?"

Han Li: "Mom, it's me."

When Han's mother heard it was her son, she thought something was wrong and asked anxiously.

"Son, didn't you just call me a couple of days ago? The interval between these two calls is so short, is something wrong over there?"

Han Li: "Don't you know your son? He's stable and honest, never getting involved in any of that messy stuff in society. I'm calling to tell you that you and Dad just had another grandson." Han's mother: "...Is the mother of my sixth grandson that girl named Hao Hongmin?"

Han Li: "Mom, you're amazing! You guessed it without me saying anything."

Han's mother: "Hehe, I know what kind of poop you're going to take the moment you stick your butt out. I guessed it when you came back from Hong Kong the year before last."

However, neither your father nor I can go to Hong Kong, so please buy them some good food to help them recover.

If there's no one to take care of the child, you should hire a Filipino maid, following Hong Kong custom. In short, we can't let Hongmin and my grandson suffer.

Also, if Hongmin's parents find out about this, you should explain it to them properly, but don't tell them that your dad and I know about it for now.

At this point, you should act like a subservient grandson in front of Hongmin's parents. It's not shameful to get scolded by them. You'll feel more at ease with her parents helping to look after the child. Those maids are just outsiders after all.

Han Li had just started speaking when his mother launched into a long, scathing speech on the other end of the phone, not giving him a chance to interrupt.

Han Li finally found a chance to interject and quickly mentioned that the sixth son wanted to take his mother's surname.

Han's mother immediately fell silent, and after a long while she angrily roared.

"What do you mean by this, you brat? Huh? Can't we afford to raise a grandson? Why are you making the child take her mother's surname? If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll break your legs when you come back."

Han Li had anticipated this situation before making the call, but he hadn't expected his mother's reaction to be so strong.

So Han Li immediately gave a quick and brief explanation of Hao Jianghe's situation, saying that this child was there to continue the Hao family line, otherwise people wouldn't have let their daughter be with him.

After Han Li finished explaining the situation, without giving his mother a chance to speak, he immediately made a promise that if he and Hao Hongmin had another child, the child would definitely take the surname Han.

At that time, no one's advice was effective or useful, not even Hao Jianghe kneeling down and begging.

Hearing this, Han's mother scolded Han Li, saying, "Speak properly. There's no reason for elders to kneel."

At this point, Han's mother realized that she had spent quite a while on the phone with her son this time.
This made Han's mother very distressed about the international long-distance call fee. The money could probably buy a sheep. She then gave a brief explanation and some instructions before ending the call.

Han Li hung up the phone, smoked another cigarette downstairs to calm himself down, and then returned to his private ward upstairs.

Hao Hongmin was still asleep at this time, but as soon as Han Li entered the room, Hao Jianghe immediately pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.

"Han Li, I've come up with two nicknames for the child. You're a university professor, would you like to hear which name is more suitable?"

"You said it, but I'm sure the name you chose is fine."

Hao Jianghe: "I just had this idea. If you don't think it's suitable, we can discuss it. The two nicknames are Kangzai and Fubao."

Kangzai means health and peace, and it is hoped that the child will be strong and free from illness and disaster.

Fu Bao symbolizes abundant good fortune, and it is hoped that the child will be blessed with good luck and a prosperous and happy life.

These two nicknames are what I came up with myself. As for the child's formal name, I'd like to have the child's Five Elements calculated another day before deciding. What do you think?

Han Li repeated the names Kangzai and Fubao to himself twice before speaking.

"I think both of the names you suggested are excellent, with very meaningful connotations."
