Calling Jianxian "little brother" and Siqi "little brother" feels so weird. Number bars sound better. Mom said the two little brothers will be living here for a long time, and he doesn't want to keep calling them Jianxian "little brother" and Siqi "little brother." It's messy...
Ichijo didn't understand Erjo's obsession with "neatness", he just thought that his older brother loved giving names.
Lu Siqi held the soft carrot sticks and nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay~"
"Then you are Eighth. Brother Jianxian, how about you be Seventh?" Ertiao was very satisfied, and then looked at Lu Jianxian expectantly.
"Okay then~" Lu Jianxian nodded hesitantly. Actually, he thought Qi Tiao sounded a bit awkward, and Jianxian sounded better. But he could call him whatever he wanted...
"Hehe, then there are eight of us, neat and tidy. The nickname Liu Tiao was given by me. Liu Tiao, do you think it sounds nice?" Er Tiao felt that he had a special talent in naming.
"It sounds nice~" Liu Tiao nodded.
He likes his mother to call him Liu Tiao the most. When he was little, his mother often held him and called, "Liu Tiao, it's time to eat", "Liu Tiao, eat an apple", "Liu Tiao, don't eat an apple today, how about a pear~"
He really loves it. But Mom doesn't call him by name anymore. She usually calls him "one, two, three, six," or "how many"...
In the kitchen, Cheng Zhenzhu took a shower and went to cook. It was indeed more comfortable at home, and even cooking made her feel light and energetic.
Today, we had two more children, so we cooked a more substantial meal. Besides a stew of bacon and dried beans, a laver and dried shrimp soup, a stir-fried pumpkin, and a bowl of egg custard made with four eggs.
"Everyone, let's learn from our good deeds and get ready to eat." Cheng Zhenzhu cleaned the pot and served the dishes to the table.
"Mom, I've named my two little brothers. The older one is called Qi Tiao, and the younger one is called Ba Tiao. Mom, are my names okay?"
Huh? Cheng Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Er Tiao, you're really good at naming. But you should ask your little brothers if they think it's good."
Er Tiao's naming talent really comes from Peng Aiqing. He's trying to complete a mahjong set! Cheng Zhenzhu suddenly remembered the voice that had said they needed to gather all seven. Now there's still one left, and there's no news at all. She didn't know where to look for it this year.
She remembered from the novel that Comrade Lu's seventh child was the child of a comrade named Wang. When the child was born, his father died and his mother remarried, leaving him with only a grandfather. Later, when the grandfather grew old and ill, Comrade Lu raised the child, who was about six or seven years old, and their name, Wang Shinian, became Lu Shinian. But now she only had a year left...
"That's right." Er Tiao finished serving the food and climbed onto the table proudly, not forgetting to ask, "Qi Tiao, Ba Tiao, are you satisfied with this name?"
"Satisfied~" Lu Siqi nodded and said in a milky voice.
After a few days of getting along, Yitiao realized that this little brother sometimes didn't really understand what was meant and would just go along with what he said, so he wanted to dampen his older brother's enthusiasm. "Hachitiao, do you hate this name?"
"Hate it~" Lu Siqi answered loudly, his eyes smiling into crescent moons.
Huh? "Didn't you just say you liked it?" Er Tiao frowned, feeling that his little brother had grown too fast.
"I like it~" Lu Siqi said again.
"That's right..." Er Tiao happily ate rice.
"It's okay, you can call yourselves whatever names you want. Jianxian and Siqi sound nice." Cheng Zhenzhu gave each of the two brothers a spoon.
She found the two little ones to be very smart. They spoke a lot, were quite defensive, and ate well, so she didn't have to worry about them at all.
She's truly a strong rival for the male lead, having been exceptionally talented since childhood. It's a shame the female lead didn't know they were twins at first, leading to a lot of misunderstandings. By the time the misunderstandings were resolved, the male lead had already rapidly gained points...
"They all sound good!" Lu Siqi stuffed rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls, his voice sounding silly.
Lu Jianxian ate slowly, like San Tiao, but a bit faster. "Auntie Zhuzhu, it's all right." Jianxian and Qi Tiao could both be called. Jianxian was the given name, Qi Tiao was the nickname. Mother said you could have as many nicknames as you wanted...
Cheng Zhenzhu caressed the two well-behaved little babies and said, "Well, let's eat."
"Okay." Lu Jianxian nodded and joined the group eating. Across from him, Liu Tiao had already finished half a bowl of rice and was poking a piece of pumpkin to blow on it...
"Delicious!" It had been a long time since he had eaten a meal cooked by his mother. San Tiao had a big appetite today and ate more than a bowl of rice. He also put a few pieces of pumpkin in the bowl.
Hey! Seeing that his third brother had eaten so much, Liu Tiao asked for another half bowl of rice. His two brothers Yitiao and Ertiao were not willing to be left behind and ate and drank lavishly. Seeing this, the brothers Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi also ate to their heart's content.
Before I knew it, the plates and bowls were all clean. The rice was almost gone, and the bacon and beans and the steamed egg were completely devoured. The seaweed soup and pumpkin bowls were each finished, a sip of soup and a piece of pumpkin each.
Cheng Zhenzhu, who had already put away her bowl and chopsticks, was speechless at the sight of this meal. Four dishes was quite a lot. She cooked over a pound of rice, which, when boiled with water, made over two pounds of rice. But even so, they finished it all.
