After settling Qin Huairu and the child on the kang, everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and the old ladies who had helped went home.
Those who didn't go home also went out to the yard to join in the crowd to criticize Liu Haizhong.
In the Jia family's house.
An old lady suddenly said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, do you think we should come up with a name for this child?"
Yi Zhonghai was thinking about this yesterday. This was the first time he named a child, and he thought of a lot of options but was not satisfied with any of them.
Now that the old lady brought up this topic, Yi Zhonghai was troubled again.
"Let me think about it again. I need to think carefully about this name." Yi Zhonghai said with a frown.
Jia Zhang was not interested in the name, but she felt that she had some experience in naming and saw Yi Zhonghai struggling there.
Jia Zhang said disdainfully: "What can't a little girl be named after? Flowers, grass, whatever you want."
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Yi Zhonghai became even more annoyed and said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law, that's enough. You should take a rest."
Jia Zhang was choked and said angrily, "Who wants to mind your business, huh?"
After saying this, Jia Zhang no longer paid any attention to Yi Zhonghai and sat down on the kang to sew shoe soles.
"You stay here and watch over me. I'm going back first."
Yi Zhonghai was anxious to name the little girl born to Qin Huairu. He felt that it was affecting his thinking here, so he had to go back and think about it carefully.
"You go ahead." said an aunt.
I saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of Jia's house in a daze with a frown on his brow, wanting to go home.
"Old Yi, Old Yi, Old Yi." Yan Fugui waved at Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai raised his head, looked in the direction of Yan Fugui, and walked over absent-mindedly.
Yan Fugui saw that Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, so he asked, "Old Yi, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, oh, Old Yan."
Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses and looked at Yan Fugui and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about giving the child a name, but I haven't decided on a name yet."
Yan Fugui said in surprise: "You haven't thought about it yet?"
"No, no, I have to think about it carefully." Yi Zhonghai said.
Yan Fugui patted his chest and said, "If you want to talk about this, you should have told me earlier. I have a dictionary and I'll lend it to you. You can find out by flipping through it."
Yan Fugui's words can be said to have awakened Yi Zhonghai.
"Yes, Old Yan, hurry up, I'll go with you." Yi Zhonghai urged.
"Don't be so anxious, just wait here." Yan Fugui waved to Yi Zhonghai and went home.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was no longer there with his head down, thinking about things, everyone started chatting with Yi Zhonghai.
"Uncle, you and aunt will have a lot to do from now on. It's tiring to take care of another child at home." Wang Fucai said with a smile.
"Now that there is a child at home, the uncle will work harder, right, uncle?" Hai Yong followed.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes."
Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood these two days and he didn't care whether people had any other thoughts or not. As long as they didn't point fingers at him and scold him, he didn't care about any sarcasm and just agreed to everything.
Soon Yan Fugui came back with a dictionary in his hand.
"Thank you, Old Yan." After Yi Zhonghai took it, he wanted to go home.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai wanted to leave, Yan Fugui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Old Yi, Old Yi, don't leave. Stay here. We can give you some advice."
Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai opened the dictionary and started flipping through it. Yan Fugui hurried over to look at it with Yi Zhonghai.
Other people who were interested in getting involved also hurried over, such as Xu Damao.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is good, this is good." Xu Damao stretched out his hand to stop Yi Zhonghai from turning the page.
"Shu?" Yi Zhonghai looked at the word Xu Damao pointed at and pondered for a while.
"No." Yi Zhonghai felt dissatisfied and simply ignored Xu Damao's opinion.
Lin Tian looked at the people who were more anxious than Yi Zhonghai and thought that Yi Zhonghai would not be satisfied with anything these people said, and he would definitely have to figure it out himself in the end.
Yi Zhonghai is a person who can hardly tolerate other people's meddling in his affairs, let alone the matter of naming his own child. These people in the courtyard just joined in the fun because they had nothing better to do.
"Hey, how about this?"
"No, this one sounds better. This one sounds better."
"What the hell is that?"
Lin Tian saw that these people were about to start arguing. Those who didn't know would think that something big had happened. The result was pretty much as Lin Tian expected. All the opinions raised by everyone were rejected by Yi Zhonghai.
Xu Damao was talking until his mouth was dry and he felt that he could not compete with the others, so he withdrew from the crowd.
"Brother, can't you please comment on the name I gave? It sounds nice." Xu Damao complained to Lin Tian before he came to his senses.
"Okay, take a break first." Lin Tian said.
Xu Damao sat down on the steps as if he was deflated, and grumbled quietly: "I don't know what this old man is thinking of. He has thought of all the names."
"It takes some time to think about it. Just wait and see." Lin Tian said.
Xu Damao looked at the group of people surrounding Yi Zhonghai and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything. Even if I say anything, the old man won't listen to me."
Lin Tian laughed: "Haha, it's enough for you to know."
Yi Zhonghai was probably annoyed by these people's chattering and shouted, "Alright, alright, stop, stop!"
Now everyone stopped talking and looked at Yi Zhonghai.
"Okay, I won't bother you with this matter. I'll think about it when I get home." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai pushed away the people blocking his way and went straight home.
Only this group of people who were giving crazy ideas were left standing in the wind.
"Look, what did I say? You can't make up your mind yet?" Lin Tian said to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao said indignantly: "I really like to meddle in other people's business."
Things turned out pretty much as Lin Tian had guessed. Three or four days later, when Lin Tian was going home from work, he met Yan Fugui.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, today the uncle told everyone the name of his granddaughter." Yan Fugui said with a clear curl of his lips, looking quite disdainful of Yi Zhonghai's angry name.
Lin Tian pretended not to notice Yan Fugui's expression, and asked Yan Fugui with a smile: "Uncle, what name did you finally choose?"
"Yi Guiying." Yan Fugui said disdainfully.
Lin Tian said calmly: "Well, it sounds nice."
After saying that, Lin Tian wanted to walk into the yard, but Yan Fugui hurried to the front and blocked Lin Tian's way.
Lin Tian looked at Yan Fugui with some doubt: "Third Master, is there anything else?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Yan Fugui said awkwardly and made way for Lin Tian.
How could Lin Tian not understand what Yan Fugui wanted to do? He just wanted to complain to Lin Tian about Yi Zhonghai's naming skills. But Lin Tian didn't want to listen to Yan Fugui's nagging at all.
