Time passed quickly. The spring plowing season was over, summer came, and the double harvest season was over. Hua Erniu was ready to send his younger brother and sister to school.
A person only spends two dollars a year on tuition and miscellaneous fees, a few cents on books, and at most a few cents on a new schoolbag.
The money needed for one person is not much, but the money needed for the four younger siblings combined is not small. But now Hua Erniu is rich, so it is no big deal to support his younger siblings in their studies.
Hua Ergou, Hua Damei and Hua Ermei were all named by their parents. When Hua Xiaodi was born, his mother passed away before she had the chance to name him. His brothers and sisters have always called him Xiaodi, so Hua Xiaodi was simply named Hua Xiaodi.
My brothers and sisters have not yet registered their household registration. They have to register first if they want to go to school. I can’t call them by such an ugly name anymore. It’s embarrassing to tell others about it.
Hua Erniu couldn't think of a good name himself, but he thought of his educated uncle-in-law. Why not ask him to come up with one?
Hua Qingping was quite happy about it.
Hua Qingping asked Hua Ergou: "What do you want to do in the future?"
Hua Ergou looked confused: "Huh? What does this have to do with naming?"
Hua Qingping: "A name has a meaning. You can choose a name that reflects the kind of person you hope to become.
For example, some parents hope their children will be safe and sound, so they give them names like "Ji Xiang Ru Yi" (吉祥如意), some parents hope their children will be healthy and long-lived, so they name them "Zi Jian Zi Kang" (子健子康), and some parents hope their children will have a promising future, so they name them "Zhi Yuan Zhi Gao" (志远志高) and so on.
Hua Ergou was confused when he heard this, thinking that his uncle was indeed a cultured man, and what he said was half incomprehensible.
He scratched his head and stammered, "Ah, then, I just want to learn a few words, and then... have enough to eat! It would be best if I could become a worker!"
The more Hua Ergou spoke, the more certain he became. That’s right, that’s it!
Hua Qingping pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't that just the life of an ordinary person? You just yearn for an ordinary life, right?"
When Hua Ergou heard this, it seemed to be true. What kind of extraordinary life could he expect? It was already good enough to be able to live an ordinary life.
So he nodded: "Yes, that's right!"
Hua Qingping said, "Then your name is Hua Xiangfan."
Hua Ergou thought about it and felt that it sounded quite plausible, at least better than Ergou, so he happily accepted it.
"Then my name is Hua Xiangfan!"
Hua Qingping turned his gaze towards Hua Damei, who scratched her head with an embarrassed look on her face.
"My second brother and I have similar ideas, so what should I be called?"
Hua Qingping said, "You are a girl, you can't let people look down on you, so you must give yourself a name that is more impressive than a boy's. You should be called Hua Zhengliu!"
Although she is illiterate, Hua Daming immediately fell in love with the name when she heard that it sounded more domineering than the name for boys and was also difficult to pronounce. How special!
Hua Ermei immediately yelled, "Uncle, what's my name?"
Hua Qingping looked at Hua Ermei and asked with a smile, "Do you want something simple or complicated?"
Hua Ermei was not willing to give up at all. To her, her sister's name was complicated enough, and she had to have a name that was more complicated than her sister's.
So, she said without hesitation: "I want it to be complicated!"
Hua Qingping said, "Then your name should be Hua Guanfang, which means you are prettier than other flowers!"
Hua Ermei was satisfied, she liked this name!
"My name is Hua Guanfang!"
The little brother blinked his eyes and laughed.
"Uncle, I only like to eat."
Hua Qingping glanced at him and said, "You still have a long way to go, little brother. Your life will definitely get better and better. I will name you Hua Shenghui."
The younger brother nodded in confusion. He didn't care what the name meant, he just knew that he had a new name.
Finally, Hua Qingping asked Hua Erniu: "Erniu, don't you want to change your name?"
"I?"
Hua Erniu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that since he didn't go to school, it didn't matter if he was called Erniu in the fields, so he didn't plan to change his name.
But since my uncle wants to give him a proper name, then let him do it.
"Then, uncle, can you give me one too?"
Hua Qingping thought for a moment and said, "Then your name will be Hua Ziqiang."
Hua Erniu nodded, thinking that this name was good and better than Erniu.
The brothers and sisters all had new names, so Hua Qingping took them to the commune to register their household registration.
It just so happened that Hua Qingping had just finished teaching a class of graduates, and this time he started teaching from the first grade, teaching Hua Xiangfan and Fang Guier.
Several of them studied hard at school, and after school they asked Hua Qingping to take them home with them. When they got home, they kept pestering Hua Qingping to ask questions.
Hua Qingping wasn't the selfless type, but he didn't dare complain. After all, the children's aunt was watching over them. Besides, the opportunity for these children to go to school was hard-earned, so he didn't want to discourage them from studying.
Hua Ziqiang thought that if he was still going to primary school at his age, he would be laughed at, so even if he had enough money, he would not go to school. But when he saw his uncle teaching others, he also went up to learn a little.
At least I learned a lot.
At the beginning of the year, Wan Qingliu gave Wang Jingxia a pill, saying it would help her get pregnant.
Wang Jingxia swallowed it half-believingly. She didn't have any adverse reactions after taking it, but after so much time had passed and there was still no movement in her stomach, she simply gave up hope.
She should just take good care of little Youzi.
As she raised the child, her feelings for him gradually deepened, and Wang Jingxia even felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the pill didn't work, otherwise if she really got pregnant, she wouldn't have had time to care about Xiao Youzi.
She had to take care of herself during pregnancy, and after giving birth, she was busy taking care of her own baby, so she had no energy to take care of Xiao Youzi at all.
When the little one grows up, she will definitely think of the little one as a child. If she takes care of little Youzi at this time, she will not be able to cultivate such a deep relationship with him.
Little Youzi is already quite pitiful. If he is adopted by her and is not loved by her, he will be even more miserable.
So, Wang Jingxia thought, it’s okay not to give birth to a child, just let her love Xiao Youzi wholeheartedly.
Now little Youzi can call her mom. She is white and soft, and even cuter than my little niece Chichi.
Hua Wanchi was not in a hurry at all. The All-Bing-Xiaoming Pills could indeed cure his aunt's infertility, but it was not possible for a normal person to get pregnant in just one or two attempts.
Now my aunt has a healthy body in all aspects, so it is only a matter of time before she gets pregnant.
If she's unlucky, like her parents, who only had a child after more than ten years of marriage, it's not impossible.
Although the effect of the spiritual spring water was not that strong, Hua Wanchi still secretly added the spiritual spring water to the water that the family drank every day. In the long run, it was actually quite useful.
Wan Qingliu said that her waist pain and leg soreness were gone, and she felt strong all over. She still had endless energy after the busy farming season, which showed that the effect of the spiritual spring water was much stronger than Hua Wanchi had imagined.
You can tell by just looking at how many times Old Huatou chased Hua Qingping with a dung shovel.
Old man, you are getting more energetic as you get older!
