After the meal, Xia Anyan took the initiative to talk to them about changing the names of the two children.
Sun Xiuzhi also thought those two names were unpleasant, but she was uneducated and couldn't make decisions as a mother-in-law, so she had allowed her two children to have those disgusting names for so many years.
Now that Xia Anyan had brought it up herself, she looked expectantly at her man.
She wanted her husband to agree.
Otherwise, these two children would be too pitiful.
Seeing the expectation in the eyes of her two children, Sun Xiuzhi wanted to make them even happier.
“Her father, I disagreed with the naming of the two children from the beginning. I am still young and can continue to have children for you. As long as we are both still able to work, we can raise as many children as we want.”
“But these two girls have suffered so much injustice. These two names are not good for them at all. If you don’t agree to let them change their names, then I will take the two children and go back to my parents’ home.”
“Although I’ve lost my parents over there, I still have my older brothers. I believe that as long as I ask, they will definitely be able to provide food for the three of us and keep us from starving to death.”
Upon hearing her words, Sun Xiuzhi's husband immediately frowned and said, "Look at you, what are you saying? When did I say I disagreed with them changing their names? You didn't even give me a chance to speak just now, and now you want to take my two daughters back to their uncle's house. I don't agree to that."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Xia Anyan quickly stepped in to stop them from continuing.
She certainly didn't want this incident to cause discord between her and her husband, as that would be a sin against heaven.
"Sister-in-law, let's talk this out. Besides, you haven't even asked me about the name yet, so why are you already arguing about whether to change it? What if you don't like the name I'm thinking of?"
Xia Anyan had barely finished speaking when Sun Xiuzhi rejected her: "Girl, with your brain, you don't even need to think, you can definitely come up with a nice name."
After saying that, she looked at her two daughters and asked with a grin, "Don't you think so?"
The two children nodded slightly, but it was clear they were very happy.
The moment the names Qingyan and Zhixia were mentioned, everyone was stunned.
Even Gu Shen was surprised and turned to look at her.
Xia Anyan smiled and said, "I didn't come up with this name myself. I took it from two books I read before."
She explained the origins of the two names to them again. Although no one could understand them, they all felt that Xia Anyan was very cultured.
Sun Xiuzhi immediately made the decision: "Okay, I'll take the two children to change their names tomorrow."
Sun Xiuzhi's husband shook his head helplessly, but his smile was full of doting affection.
After dinner, Xia Anyan and Sun Xiuzhi continued to play with the two children.
In the afternoon, Li Cuihua and Wang Chuncao came to find Xia Anyan, wanting to invite her to the county town.
Hearing that Sun Xiuzhi's two children had been brought back, they took the initiative to visit her to congratulate her and play with the children together.
Although the three women were not very familiar with each other and their relationship was not particularly good, they seemed to be on the same side in front of the child.
Sun Xiuzhi was very grateful to them and planned to invite them to dinner that evening, but Li Chuncao and Wang Chunlan declined.
Xia Anyan didn't stay any longer. She and Gu Shen had already eaten lunch here, and they couldn't stay any longer.
In those days, every household had a fixed amount of food. If they ate even a little more, the family would have to eat one less meal.
Anyway, they lived close by, right next door. If Sun Xiuzhi needed her to do anything, she only needed to call out and she would hear her.
Sun Xiuzhi was a little worried, afraid that after Xia Anyan left, the two children would revert to their previous autistic state.
Seeing the encouragement in Xia Anyan's eyes, Sun Xiuzhi nodded.
Li Cuihua and Wang Chunlan went back with Xia Anyan. Gu Shen went to the kitchen to cook, while Xia Anyan led the two of them into the house.
She hadn't stayed here for a long time, and the room was a bit dusty. She tidied it up a bit, then had the two of them sit down while she busied herself getting them water.
Wang Chunlan and Li Cuihua quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Oh dear, sister, what are you doing? We came here just to talk to you and ask if you have any more pretty floral fabrics."
The two of them were a little embarrassed when they said this, as if they were afraid that Xia Anyan would be unhappy. After they finished speaking, they even pinched the hem of their clothes.
Xia Anyan was amused by their antics.
She sat down next to them as well: "Sisters-in-law, if you have any ideas, you can just come to me directly. Why do you need to be so formal with me?"
"Don't you consider me a friend? If so, I'm not taking the fabric out."
Hearing Xia Anyan say that means she definitely still has more.
It was only because the two of them were too formal that Xia Anyan got angry, which is why they acted this way.
Li Cuihua and Wang Chunlan chuckled and each took one of Xia Anyan's hands: "Oh, little sister, we were just feeling embarrassed just now, it wasn't about taking your coat!"
“We actually wanted to find you before, but you’ve been living away from home, and we were too embarrassed to bother you. We just heard you were back, so we came to find you.”
Xia Anyan was amused by them.
She was just teasing them, trying not to make them too nervous.
In such a place, only people who are close to each other will say whatever comes to mind, while people who are not close to each other will feel nervous and flustered.
She wanted to build good relationships with the people in the family compound. Li Cuihua and Wang Chunlan, her two sisters-in-law, were indeed nice people, and she liked them, so naturally she wanted to be good friends with them.
She got up, opened the wardrobe, and, concealed by the wardrobe door, took out several bolts of brightly colored fabric from inside.
It's described as a brightly colored material, but in this day and age, it's only slightly more eye-catching.
"Sisters-in-law, these fabrics are all quite suitable for young people. Take a look and see if there's anything you like. If not, I'll bring out a few other fabrics for you to see."
Upon hearing that Xia Anyan had even more inside information, the two men's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Girl, you've already taken out so much, do you still have more? And you just casually put it in this cabinet. You haven't been living here for a while, what if someone comes in and steals something?"
Although this is in a residential compound, and such a thing is unlikely to happen, what if it does?
This kind of thing has happened before in the family compound. Although the person was caught and apologized, it still feels disgusting.
