Chapter 305 Little Lu Jianguo

"Oh, Old Jiang, we have to name the child." Mr. Lu said immediately.

"His brothers are all from the Guozi generation, what should this child be called?"

I had forgotten about naming it before, and now that I suddenly want to think about it, I really can't remember it.

"How about calling him Lu Jianguo?"

When Jiang Haitang heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly.

Lu Jianguo?

Isn't this name a little too down-to-earth?

Although there is nothing wrong with being down-to-earth, Jiang Haitang still hopes that her child's name can be a little nicer.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only hurriedly ask Lu Liangchen for help.

Before Lu Liangchen could say anything, Xiao Taozi spoke.

"My name is Xiao Taozi, why does my little brother need to be called Lu Jianguo?"

The childish voice made everyone stunned for a moment. Obviously, no one expected that Xiao Taozi would suddenly say this.

Lu Liangchen just wanted to hug Xiao Taozi and give her a kiss. She was really his good daughter.

"Then, Xiao Taozi, what do you think the little brother should be called?" Mr. Lu asked with interest.

Little Peach tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "My name is Little Peach, and my little brother should be called Little Orange."

This name is completely harmonious and even antithetical, but isn’t it a bit feminine to name a boy Xiaochengzi?

He Wanyi burst out laughing and said, "Little Peach, you want to eat Little Orange, right?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Haitang smiled and said, "Xiao Chengzi is a good nickname."

After being reminded by Jiang Haitang, everyone felt that the nickname Xiaochengzi was indeed a good one.

When Xiao Taozi heard that her suggestion was adopted, she was extremely happy.

"Mom, will my little brother be called Little Orange from now on?"

Jiang Haitang nodded affirmatively: "Xiao Chengzi is a nickname, just like Xiao Taozi, just like Xiao Taozi's full name is Lu Youwei, my little brother needs to have a full name."

Little Peach really had no idea what her full name was.

She just ran to the little guy and called him Little Orange.

The adults on the side were still discussing what the little guy should be called.

Soon, Xiao Chengzi's name was decided upon: Lu Yiguo, which means "to praise the family and the country". It not only fits the "Guo" generation of the Lu family, but also reflects the expectations of the elders for him.

Jiang Haitang was very satisfied with this name. As long as it was not Lu Jianguo, Jiang Haitang would be basically satisfied.

Jiang Haitang was discharged from the hospital on the third day, during which time Lu Liangchen took good care of her.

After Jiang Haitang was discharged from the hospital, Lu Liangchen took care of her at home for two more days before leaving.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he still had some work to do and had to return to the northwest.

Before leaving, he hugged Xiao Chengzi and kissed her again and again, and carefully told Xiao Taozi to listen to her mother and grandmother, and finally hugged Jiang Haitang tightly.

"Wait for me, I'll try to transfer back during the Chinese New Year!" He whispered in her ear.

"Well, the children and I will be waiting for you at home. Be careful." Jiang Haitang leaned in his arms, suppressing the sadness of parting and forcing a smile.

Xiao Taozi was a little reluctant to see Lu Liangchen leave, but because of the presence of Xiao Chengzi and Jiang Haitang, Xiao Taozi's sadness was quickly dispelled.

After Lu Liangchen left, Jiang Haitang's confinement period did not change at all because of his departure. Instead, she felt very comfortable.

He Wanyi and Yuan Yinan almost used all their specialties, preparing various nourishing soups one after another, and Aunt Wang also found ways to make delicious and recovery-enhancing meals.

Shi Shulan often came to chat with her to cheer her up, and would also bring some new comic books for Xiao Taozi to read.

Although Xiao Taozi was a little scared at first when Xiao Chengzi cried, her fear gradually disappeared after Jiang Haitang and He Wanyi patiently and repeatedly explained and comforted her.

She found that her brother's crying was not really because of her, and her mother and grandmother would not blame her for it.

Little Taozi began to play with her little brother boldly. The first thing she did when she woke up every day was to run to see her brother. She would also imitate the adults and gently pat her crying brother with her little hands. Although her movements were clumsy, they were full of love, which made Jiang Haitang feel very warm.

When Little Orange is awake, Little Peach will talk to him.

I don’t know if the little guy understood, but he looked at his sister with bright eyes.

Later on, he would still respond with babbling sounds.

"Oh, Xiaochengzi is so smart. He knows that Xiaotaozi is his elder sister and is talking to her." He Wanyi was surprised when she saw it.

I've never seen such a young child who knows how to respond.

But Jiang Haitang felt that this was just a coincidence.

Unlike Xiao Taozi, the other children felt that there was nothing fun about their younger brother. After all, they already had many older brothers and younger brothers in the family.

If it was a younger sister, they would be more interested.

During this period, Mr. Jiang Guozhu came to the Lu family's old house almost every day. He was reluctant to let go of his great-grandson and the smile on his face never stopped.

When playing chess with Grandpa Lu, the topic always revolves around the two great-grandchildren, arguing about whether Xiao Taozi is smarter or Xiao Chengzi is stronger. Although they still argue, the atmosphere is more harmonious than before.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Haitang has finished her confinement, and her body has recovered well under the care of He Wanyi and Yuan Yinan.

Maternity leave in that era was generally forty days. After forty days, Jiang Haitang felt that she had recovered well and began to devote herself to translation work again.

Yuan Yinan only brought a small amount of information for the time being, allowing Jiang Haitang to have more time to rest every day.

But Jiang Haitang is a person who cannot sit still. When she is not busy, she starts to organize her previous design notes and the inspiration she has drawn from foreign literature, and thinks about the next research direction.

She knows that although she is now on secondment to the ministry as a translator, her roots are still in technology research and development.

After all, she wants to continue her research in textile machinery.

Occasionally, when the weather was fine, she would hold Xiaochengzi, hold Xiaotaozi by the hand, and go for a walk in the nearby park accompanied by He Wanyi or Shi Shulan.

Little Orange is very well-behaved, especially when going outside. He is extremely well-behaved. As long as he is awake, he will keep blinking his big eyes and looking at the scenery without crying.

Watching little Taozi running and playing on the grass and little Chengzi in her arms babbling and waving his little hands, Jiang Haitang felt an unprecedented peace and happiness.

This kind of trivial and real daily life is something she didn't even dare to dream of in her previous life, but now she has it in this life. It's great.

During this period, Jiang Haitang continued to receive letters and parcels from Lu Liangchen sent from the northwest.

There were letters written by Lu Liangchen and others written to Jiang Haitang. The same was true for the items in the package. Some were sent by Lu Liangchen himself, and some were sent on behalf of others.

Director Mao also entrusted Lu Liangchen to send a lot of things over, some of which were welfare benefits from the factory, and some were gifts for children.

There were also some people who had good relations with the textile factory and Qingshuigou, who asked Lu Liangchen to send back a lot of miscellaneous things.

These things weren't particularly good, but they were a token of everyone's thoughtfulness, so Jiang Haitang wrote back to thank them.

Dazhu also wrote a very long letter, which talked about agricultural machinery, including his own research results and some confusing points.

After watching it, Jiang Haitang knew that Dazhu was growing very fast and he was indeed an expert in agricultural machinery.

Jiang Haitang got some relevant books in Beijing and sent them to Dazhu, and also answered the questions that Dazhu mentioned in the letter.

As for Lu Liangchen, his letters were always the longest, filled with thoughts and thoughts. He would also briefly talk about the current progress of his work, but he would only touch upon the surface.

Jiang Haitang would always carefully read the letter to Xiao Taozi, telling her that her father missed her and Xiao Chengzi very much.

Lu Liangchen really treated everyone equally. When preparing food for the children, there were oranges and peaches, without any bias.

The days passed peacefully and fulfillingly, and Jiang Haitang could feel that the atmosphere in the capital had gradually become relaxed.

Little Orange grew up day by day, becoming white and plump, with black eyes that looked very much like Jiang Haitang.

Little Taozi is becoming more and more like an older sister. She helps her grandmother get diapers for her younger brother, and sings nursery rhymes to him when he cries.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year and the first snow fell in the capital.

The yard was covered in snow, and several boys excitedly pulled Xiao Taozi to make snowmen and have snowball fights.

The children were having a lot of fun. Jiang Haitang was standing under the porch, holding the tightly wrapped little Chengzi and watching. Little Taozi giggled and said that this way her younger brother was playing with them.

At this moment, a familiar loud and urgent voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "Haitang! Xiaotaozi! I'm back!"

Jiang Haitang turned her head suddenly and saw Lu Liangchen wearing a military coat, with snowflakes falling on his shoulders, striding in from the door. His face was weather-beaten, but his eyes were surprisingly bright!

Lu Liangchen is back.

Little Taozi was stunned at first, then screamed "Dad!" and jumped into Lu Liangchen's open arms like a happy little bird.

Lu Liangchen picked up his daughter and held her high, making Xiao Taozi giggle.

Then, his eyes passed over his daughter's shoulder and accurately captured the figure in the corridor holding the child, with red eyes but a bright smile.

He held the giggling little peach in one hand and strode over to stop in front of Jiang Haitang. He stared at her deeply, then looked down at the little orange in her arms who was staring at him curiously, and said in a choked voice: "Haitang, I'm back."

"I'm glad you're back." Jiang Haitang didn't dare to ask whether he would leave again after coming back this time.

After all, changing jobs is something that is easy when it is said to be easy, but it can also be very difficult when it is said to be difficult.

Maybe Lu Liangchen came back just to celebrate the New Year.
