Chapter 179 New Name
She knew that even if he could get a day off tomorrow, it would probably be less than an hour or two.
"Okay, then you be careful. I remember Lao Hong's sister has a bicycle. I'll go find him after dinner." He finally had to compromise.
It was the first time that Li Yiyi heard him mention that Hong Shuo had a sister here.
"Comrade Hong Shuo's sister also lives in this family compound. Why haven't I seen her?"
"His sister is the director of our art troupe. She is usually very busy. I don't know how many days she is here in a month. It's normal that you haven't met her." He replied.
When Li Yiyi heard it, she immediately understood.
After dinner was ready, the family of four sat together and ate dinner, talking and laughing.
Halfway through the meal, Li Yiyi looked at the two children beside her who were eating by themselves, and thought that if she really went to work in the medical clinic of the military region in the future, she would definitely not be able to keep them with her all the time.
"Jiang Hong, is there a school or something like that here?" She put down the dishes in her hands and looked at the man sitting opposite her and asked.
When Jiang Hong heard her question, he stopped eating and looked at the pair of children sitting next to her, "Do you want to send them to school?"
Li Yiyi nodded. "That's right. If I really went to work in the military medical office, I would have less time to watch over them. If it's safer, I might as well send them to school."
"There really is a school, right at the back of the military area, but there is only one teacher there." After thinking about it, he quickly remembered that several of his comrades with children had mentioned this.
When Li Yiyi heard this, she smiled and said, "It's okay. A teacher is also a teacher. I'll take some time out in the next two days to go over and take a look at the situation. If it's suitable, I'll send the siblings over to get used to it first."
Jiang Hong put a piece of pork belly into her bowl and said, "Okay, let's go over and take a look when the time comes. Tell me the time and I'll spare some time."
The two siblings nearby were eating and listening to their conversation with their ears perked up.
Jiang Yueyue was a relatively precocious child and she could understand almost everything adults said.
"Dad, Mom, are my brother and I going to school?" Jiang Yueyue couldn't help but interrupt and ask.
When the young couple heard her question, they stopped talking and looked at her at the same time.
Li Yiyi smiled and spoke to her first, "Yes, do Yueyue and Xiaobao like going to school?"
Jiang Yueyue nodded and said, "I like it. I heard from Brother Dabao that I can make a lot of good friends if I go to school. I also want to make good friends."
Jiang Xiaobao didn't know what going to school was, but when he heard his sister say that she liked it, he followed suit and nodded his head, "Xiaobao wants to, too."
After hearing his son's speech, Jiang Hong immediately looked towards Li Yiyi and asked, "Wife, isn't the name Xiaobao a bit too common? Should we give him a more formal name?"
When Li Yiyi heard his suggestion, she looked at her son who was blinking his big black eyes, and nodded seriously.
In fact, she learned from her original body's memory that her original body had given this son a random name, and then this name always followed the child. Over time, everyone thought that this name was the child's official name.
"Well, it's indeed a bit too ordinary. It's the same name as Sister Chunhua's youngest son. Sometimes Sister Chunhua calls him Xiaobao, and I thought she was calling our son." She said with a smile.
"Yes, I had the same experience. Last time I took the brother and sister for a run, I heard someone scolding Xiaobao on the way. I thought he was scolding my son and almost rushed up to have a good fight with him." Speaking of this embarrassing incident, Jiang Hong looked embarrassed.
Since the couple agreed, they soon started discussing the child's name at the dinner table.
The couple didn't think for a while, and Jiang Hong seemed to have thought of a great name. He said excitedly, "Wife, I thought of a very nice name, and it's very loud. You will definitely like it."
Li Yiyi was a little curious after hearing him speak so confidently, so she asked, "What's the name? Tell me."
Jiang Hong glanced at his son who didn't know what was going on, reached out and rubbed his head, then said the name he had just thought of, "Shengli, Jiang Shengli, how about it, isn't this name nice to hear, and what a good meaning it has."
After hearing the name he said, the expectation on Li Yiyi's face immediately dropped, "I thought it was such a good name, but it turns out to be this, not so good."
Jiang Hong scratched his hair and asked in confusion, "Why is it not the same? I think it sounds good. Victory, our country needs these two words. I hope we can win every battle."
Li Yiyi looked at him helplessly and said, "I also want our country to get better and better, but there are already enough people in our country named Shengli. We don't need our son to make up the number. Let's think of another one."
Seeing that the name he had thought of was rejected by his wife, Jiang Hong had no choice but to touch the tip of his nose and continue thinking of other names.
After thinking for a while, Li Yiyi also thought of a name in her mind, "I also thought of a name, Zhan Peng, what do you think?"
Jiang Hong read the name she just said carefully twice. Soon, a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of his serious mouth. "It sounds nice. My wife is really good. She can think of such a good name."
Li Yiyi felt a little embarrassed by his praise and glared at him with a coquettish look on her face, "What are you praising me for, it's not about my name."
"My wife is so amazing. I can't praise her enough." At this moment, Jiang Hong looked very satisfied as if he had a wife.
Li Yiyi kicked his foot under the table, then looked at her youngest son with a red face, "Xiaobao, how about your name be Zhan Peng from now on? Do you like this name?"
Xiaobao took a bite of his favorite egg custard and heard his mother calling him. The little guy raised his confused face, not knowing what was going on. The next second, he nodded his head slightly and replied in a soft voice, "Nice."
His silly look immediately made the young couple laugh.
Jiang Hong said to Li Yiyi with a smile and a bit of worry, "Wife, why do I feel like our son seems a bit silly? Will he be a little fool in the future?"
When Li Yiyi heard him say that about her son, she was so angry that she kicked his foot under the table again and said to him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can our son be stupid? He is very smart. You haven't played with him much, but I have played with him a few times. This child has a strong memory and is very sensitive to numbers. He may become a genius mathematician in the future."
