"From now on, I have to choose the name. You have no chance!" Lu Ye said angrily.
Letting the old man name the child once is already the most he can do.
"You are a live-in son-in-law, go to work, you have no right to speak!"
Lu Desheng waved his hand and approached him calmly. Seeing Lu Ye's aggrieved look, he felt very happy.
The rebellious son always uses the son-in-law to make him angry, but he is not angry anymore and wants to get angry back. Humph, he has eaten decades more than the bastard, how could he lose to this rebellious son!
"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Ruan Qiqi interrupted the tense argument between the father and son. She was still very tired and really didn't want to listen to the two of them quarreling. It was very annoying.
"What does Qiqi want to eat?"
Lu Ye asked attentively, ignoring the old man.
"I want to eat...potato dumplings. Can I get them?"
Ruan Qiqi swallowed her saliva. She didn't know why, but at this moment she was particularly craving for potato-stuffed dumplings. She had eaten them once in her previous life, the day before she came here. The dumpling shop was opened near her community. There were many kinds of fillings, and she found the potato filling novel, so she ordered one. It turned out to taste quite good.
She had originally planned to go eat there the next day, but unfortunately she had to come here.
"Sure, I'll do it!"
Lu Ye nodded vigorously. Even if Qiqi wanted to eat the Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace, he would have to find a way to get it, not to mention that they were just dumplings stuffed with potatoes.
"Don't put too much salt, just a little bit is enough. Don't add soy sauce, vinegar or chili. Qiqi can't eat it now." Guan Zhihua reminded.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I add it."
Ruan Qiqi argued for herself weakly, "What taste would the dumplings have if nothing was added?"
"That won't work. It's not good for your health, and the water isn't good for you either." Guan Zhihua refused mercilessly.
Ruan Qiqi just shut up. She didn’t expect that there were so many things to pay attention to for a woman who had just given birth. She couldn’t eat this or that. So what else could she eat?
Lu Ye wrote them down one by one and ran out to find potato dumplings.
The little guy squinted his eyes and pretended to be asleep for a while, but he couldn't pretend anymore. After all, it was very tiring to keep squinting. He opened his eyes and looked around curiously.
In fact, the baby's eyes are not well developed, so he can only see a blurry picture. But this does not affect the little cub's observation of the world. He stretches out his chubby little arms, waving them in the air, opens his little mouth, and keeps blowing bubbles.
"What are you looking at?"
Manzai was lying on the other side of the bed, looking at the little one curiously. Mamajiang also tried to raise her head, wanting to get close to the little one.
"ah……"
The little cub cried out happily and rolled towards Manzai, but he was too small and wrapped in a small blanket, so he couldn't roll at all. He could only wave his little paws angrily.
Manzai moved the little one to the edge of the bed, closer to him. The big and the small looked at each other curiously.
"ah……"
The little cub waved his little paws at Mancu a few times, spit out a big bubble, and smiled happily.
"Why!"
Manzai also responded happily. He knew that the little boy was greeting him. What a good little boy. He was even cuter than Yeye when he was a child.
He stretched out a finger, and a fleshy little paw reached out and grabbed his finger with great force. Manzi stretched out another finger, which was also grabbed by the other little paw.
Two big hands and two small hands were clasped together and smiled at each other. The people around them also looked at them with smiles, and there was satisfaction in their eyes.
"ah……"
The little boy seemed to like Manzi very much. He held his hand tightly and refused to let go. His big black eyes kept looking at Manzi, as if he wanted to remember him.
"I'm your grandfather."
Manzai introduced himself very solemnly, saying that Qiqi and Yeye were his children, and their little children were naturally his grandchildren.
Ruan Qiqi was watching with a smile on her face, but when she heard these words, her smile instantly disappeared. Her little cub was treated as someone's grandson as soon as he came out.
"No, I should call you uncle!" Guan Zhihua corrected.
"No, it's Grandpa."
Manzai shook his head stubbornly, saying that his mother was wrong and he was not wrong.
Guan Zhihua wanted to correct him, but was stopped by Ruan Qiqi, "Manzi can call him whatever he wants, as long as he is happy."
Anyway, none of their family will recognize it.
Outside, Lu Ye was still looking for potato-filled dumplings in the whole city. He went to five restaurants, but none of them had potato-filled dumplings. Some chefs even said that this was the first time they had heard of such dumplings.
"Comrade, you don't have to bother looking for it. You can't find it in the entire city of Tanzhou. I've been a chef for 20 years, and this is the first time I've heard of potato dumplings. It's really rare."
The chef of the fifth restaurant didn't want to see Lu Ye wasting his time, so he kindly tried to dissuade him.
"There must be something that my guests have eaten. It's obvious that you are a frog in the well and have very little experience."
Lu Ye believed Ruan Qiqi's words without a doubt. Qiqi said there were some in Tanzhou City, so there must be some. It was just that these chefs were ignorant.
"Then tell me, how do you make these potato dumplings?"
The chef was also angry and actually called him a frog in a well in front of him. This was intolerable and he had to get back at him!
"Potato dumplings are naturally filled with potatoes. If I knew how to make them, would I have to come out and look for them?"
Lu Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance and was about to go out to look for it again, but was stopped by the chef, "You stay here and watch me make potato dumplings!"
So, the two of them, one working with their hands and the other talking, finally made the potato dumplings after an hour.
After it was cooked, the chef took a bite and his eyes suddenly lit up. He praised: "I didn't expect these potato dumplings to have such a unique flavor. The saying is right, there is always room for learning!"
Lu Ye also tried one and found it tasted really good.
"Make another one and add only a little salt. My cousin just had a baby and can't eat too much salt."
Lu Ye asked the chef to make another one so he could take it to the hospital.
"Are you looking for food for your guests?" The chef looked at him with more appreciation.
A man who is good to his wife basically has no problems with his character.
"Yes, my cousin wants to eat potato dumplings. Please make another portion quickly. My cousin is hungry."
Lu Ye was a little worried, afraid that Ruan Qiqi was starving.
The chef was also good-tempered. He really made another portion and was considerate enough to make the taste lighter.
"Thank you, I'll give you a red egg later!"
Lu Ye took both servings of dumplings away and also took note of the restaurant, planning to deliver red eggs to it in a few days.
He drove back to the hospital, got off the car and hurried to the ward, where he ran into Ruan Shuangjiang at the entrance of the corridor.
"I just went to the family building and heard Qiqi gave birth. How is she?"
Ruan Shuangjiang asked anxiously.
"Very good. The baby weighs 15 pounds, it's a boy. I made dumplings for Qiqi."
Lu Ye answered with a smile, and Ruan Shuangjiang clasped her hands together and shed tears of joy.
Ruan Qiqi in the ward had just drunk some fish soup, which was brought by Aunt Li from Guan Zhihua's family. Only a little salt was put in the fish soup, which was very fishy. She pinched her nose and drank a bowl of it, but she really couldn't drink any more.
"Qiqi, eat quickly!"
Lu Ye came back excitedly and opened the light portion. The dumplings were still steaming.
Ruan Qiqi picked up one and ate it. The taste was much lighter, different from what she remembered.
"That's it."
Ruan Qiqi finished the whole box of dumplings. Her husband Lu Ye was sweating profusely while looking for dumplings. She couldn't let Lu Ye down.
"If you want to eat it, I'll ask the chef to make it."
Lu Ye wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and didn't feel tired at all.
Ruan Shuangjiang held the little cub in her arms and looked at him, her eyes fixed on him. "His facial features are like Qiqi's, and his face is like my brother-in-law's. He will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up, as powerful and promising as his grandfather and father!"
Lu Desheng couldn't close his mouth after hearing this, he was extremely proud.
Lu Ye also grinned.
"Have you chosen a name for your baby?" Ruan Shuangjiang asked.
"Ruan Kaixuan, Kaixuan returns triumphantly!" said Ruan Qiqi.
Ruan Shuangjiang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Lu Desheng. Seeing that he was smiling and not unhappy, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she had always wanted to tell Ruan Qiqi that it was okay for the child to have the surname Lu. After all, the Lu family was of high status. If Commander Lu was unhappy, she was worried that Ruan Qiqi would not have a good life in her husband's family in the future.
Moreover, her two daughters changed their surnames to Ruan. When the time comes, Nian Nian and Pan Pan can find sons-in-law, and the Ruan family's bloodline can be passed on.
"The name was given by my father-in-law. It sounds nice, right?" Ruan Qiqi said with a smile.
"It sounds good, a triumphant return, very impressive. In the future, everything will go smoothly for our Kaixuan, and he will rise to the top!"
Since Ruan Shuangjiang came to the city, she has been studying quotations and her eloquence has improved a lot. These words made Lu Desheng grin with his teeth bared, and his dark face turned into a flower.
"Have you chosen a nickname?" she asked again.
Lu Kaixuan is a very grand name, but it is a bit formal to call him that in normal times.
"I'll pick the nickname, you have no right to it!"
Lu Ye rushed ahead of the old man and took on the job of coming up with a nickname. He was very efficient and came up with one in less than ten minutes.
“It’s called potato.”
On the first day of his birth, Qiqi wanted to eat potato-stuffed dumplings. He searched the whole city for potato-stuffed dumplings, which shows that the little cub has a connection with potatoes, so he was given this nickname.
"It's just a mess, not serious at all!"
Lu Desheng was the first to protest. He had spent half a year thinking about how to name his grandson, and his hair was almost pulled bald. This bastard's name was too casual.
"Why not? Potatoes are great. They provide food and clothing, and are practical and steady."
Lu Ye argued with reason and even asked Ruan Qiqi to judge the case.
"I think potatoes are good too. If you're not satisfied, how about ordering dumplings?"
Ruan Qiqi gave another choice, either potatoes or dumplings.
Lu Desheng gritted his teeth, glared at the unreliable couple, turned his head away angrily, and pretended not to see them.
"Potatoes are good. Food is the most important thing for people. People cannot live without potatoes. It has a very good meaning." Grandpa Lou tried to smooth things over with a smile. He did think this nickname was good.
So, the nickname of little Ruan Kaixuan was Potato.
Ruan Qiqi was in very good health and was discharged from the hospital after only three days. She went home to recuperate for a month. Both mother and child were plump and white. Lu Desheng set up a table of wine at home to hold a full-month banquet for little Potato.
They are all family members, Mo Qiufeng and his second sister, Ruan Qiqi's family, Manzai's family, and Lu Jiefang brothers. They came to Jiangcheng to study and came to Tanzhou specifically to see their little nephew.
But on the full moon day, an unwelcome person came to the house. It was Mo Heping, who came to give a gift to the little guy on behalf of Yuan Huilan.
