Chapter 337 Daughter's Name is Shangshang
Sun Xiaoyue now despises Jiang Donghua from the bottom of her heart; he's not even a real man and has no opinions of his own.
Seeing Sun Xiaoyue frowning and remaining silent, Jiang Donghua knew that he couldn't count on Jiang Zhenhua.
The two, each with their own ulterior motives, left the hospital and took a car together back to school.
...
Jiang Zhizhi was in good health. After giving birth, she stayed in the hospital for one day, and the next afternoon, she took her baby home to start her postpartum confinement.
Fang Hua was very thoughtful. Fearing that Jiang Zhizhi wouldn't get enough rest, he arranged for her to move upstairs to Zhou Xiye's old room during her postpartum confinement.
Zhou Xiaochuan's room was tidied up and turned into a nursery, where she and the two children would sleep at night so as not to disturb Jiang Zhizhi's rest.
Unable to find a reliable and capable nanny in time, Shang Shiying asked the nanny in her house to come and take care of Jiang Zhizhi and the two children.
She had nothing to do all day, so she came over to help.
Zhou Chengyu, having nothing better to do, simply packed his bag and moved in.
She told Fang Hua to rest, and she would take care of the children at night.
So throughout her postpartum period, Jiang Zhizhi never saw her two children except when she was breastfeeding.
They fought over him and carried him to the next room to keep watch.
Fang Hua and Shang Shiying kept a close eye on her, forbidding her from walking around, reading for too long, lying down whenever she had nothing to do, and making sure she wore her socks properly.
Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated. She spent most of her time lying in a daze, thinking about names for her two children.
Zhou Chengzhi had thought of several names, but he couldn't decide on one after another, feeling that they all sounded good.
Jiang Zhizhi suggested that her son be named Xiao Zhouji, and no one objected. However, when it came to her daughter's nickname, everyone had a lot of opinions.
Shang Shiying said the girl was pretty, so his nickname was Liangliang.
Fang Hua objected: "Liangliang sounds like a boy's name. It would be better to call her Jiaojiao instead of Liangliang."
Zhou Chengyu also had his own ideas: "Born on September 1st, which is already autumn. Autumn is not about the fragrance of osmanthus, so let's call him Gui Gui."
Jiang Zhizhi leaned against the bedside and listened with a smile. She thought he would be called Piaopiao or Xiangxiang, but he was surprised to be called Guigui. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fang Hua still disagreed: "Gui Gui doesn't sound good. I think Jiao Jiao is much better, Jiao Jiao..."
Shang Shiying muttered softly, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, go to the courtyard and shout, five or six Jiaojiaos will come out."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and suddenly said, "How about calling me Shangshang? Shangshang sounds like the flowing water."
Fang Hua was taken aback: "Which 'Shang' character?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and glanced at Shang Shiying: "The Shang that Auntie's surname is..."
As soon as she spoke, Shang Shiying and Fang Hua understood what she meant; she was also trying to indicate that the child belonged to the Shang family.
Fang Hua fell silent instantly, and she had no objection.
Shang Shiying's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Shang Shang sounds beautiful and intelligent."
Zhou Chengyu listened for a long time but still didn't understand: "Shangshang? It's not as nice as Guigui."
Fang Hua rolled her eyes at her: "You're obviously uncultured. Didn't Zhizhi just explain the meaning of 'Shangshang'? I also think 'Shangshang' is a good name."
Zhou Chengyu simply assumed that his sister-in-law was just going along with Jiang Zhizhi's wishes, and smiled and agreed: "However, Shangshang is also quite nice, it does sound good once you get used to it."
Once the nickname was decided, they started discussing the formal name.
Jiang Zhizhi also had her own idea: "Mom, we can go find Zhou Xiye next summer, and then let Zhou Xiye decide the child's name, okay?"
Fang Hua couldn't agree more.
Shang Shiying also thought it was a great idea: "I really can't imagine how surprised Zhou Xiye will be when he sees us with two children. But the name should definitely be decided by the father."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and looked down at the two little ones lying beside her.
They are so well-behaved. They are ten days old and do nothing but eat and sleep all day. Their little faces are getting rounder every day.
When it's hungry, it just whimpers a couple of times; when it pees or poops, it whimpers a little.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at him and felt her maternal love was overflowing. She hadn't even had time to think about Zhou Xiye lately.
She reached out and gently touched her son's cheek: "What year are you, little Zhou?"
He touched his daughter's cheek again: "Shangshang?"
Fang Hua and Shang Shiying watched with smiles, saying, "Look at our little Zhou Ji and Shang Shang, how good-looking they are!"
When Zhou Chengzhi returned home that evening, he heard that Zhou Xiye was going to name the two children. He thought it was a good idea, but he offered a small suggestion: "Could you also show the names you've chosen to Zhou Xiye? They could be of some reference value."
"I only came up with this idea after reading a lot of books recently."
Fang Hua gave a very perfunctory reply: "Okay, I'll go with Zhizhi next year. I'll tell Xiye then. By the way, you didn't tell Xiye about Zhizhi having a baby, did you?"
Zhou Chengzhi was completely out of it: "I didn't say that, no, you guys didn't say that either, did you?"
Fang Hua nodded matter-of-factly: "No, they didn't say that. It wasn't what you said before. They have a lot of missions, and if you told them, Nishino wouldn't be of much help, and it would only distract him. Wasn't that what you said?"
Zhou Chengzhi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I said it. What's wrong?"
Fang Hua sneered: "So, we haven't said anything yet. We plan to bring the kids to give Nishino a surprise."
He then warned Zhou Chengzhi, "You're not allowed to say anything either."
Zhou Chengzhi didn't say anything, and after a long silence, he muttered softly, "You should at least give Xiye some mental preparation. Bringing two children over at once will only scare him."
Fang Hua found it quite interesting: "You don't need to worry about it, just don't say anything."
Zhou Chengzhi said with a straight face: "Am I that kind of person? Besides, Zhou Xiye is not under my jurisdiction. I can't even ask him now, lest people suspect that I am reminding him to take care of him. However, I heard that when Zhou Xiye went there, he rectified the military appearance and discipline and strengthened diversified training. His proposed combat-oriented infiltration training has been affirmed by the entire army."
They couldn't help but feel proud and elated as they spoke.
Someone called Zhou Chengzhi, praising him and asking if Zhou Xiye could be transferred to their side.
Fang Hua's eyes lit up: "Have you noticed that after Zhizhi married Xiye, Xiye's personality changed, his career seems to be going smoothly, and he even gave birth to twins for our family? Neither your Zhou family nor our Fang family has this gene."
"Let alone twins, there isn't even a single pair of twins."
Fang Hua became happier and happier as he talked, feeling that all the good fortune in the family was brought by Jiang Zhizhi: "She's a lucky charm for her husband."
Zhou Chengzhi couldn't help but reopen old wounds: "Back then, I don't know who it was that absolutely refused?"
Fang Hua glared at him: "You talk too much! Oh, right, there's something else I want to tell you, but don't tell anyone."
Seeing that Zhou Chengyu was still upstairs taking care of the child and the nanny was busy in the kitchen, Fang Hua whispered to Zhou Chengzhi, "I was so happy these past few days that I forgot about it. Guess why Shang Shiyi gave you ginseng? And why Shang Shiying is so good to our family?"
