Chapter 87 Name
"Mom, have you heard that Xia Ju upstairs went to work in the cannery? Why did she go to work in the cannery? Well, we have someone at home and we can't go..." Su Qiuyan said as she looked at Sun Erni's face.
"You found out so quickly, why didn't you find out whether she was covering for Xinlan?" Sun Erni was really annoyed with her second daughter-in-law who had revealed her true colors.
"Ah, it's Jiang Xinlan. Isn't she about to give birth? How come she found a job again? I can't go to work. It's such a waste to have a job now..." Su Qiuyan muttered a few words, and then seemed to remember something. She looked at Sun Erni with a smile, "Mom, I have something to discuss with you. Can you ask my eldest sister to help me find a job? You see, I'm pregnant again. Once the baby is born, I will have to spend more money. It won't be enough for Jinwei to earn alone!"
Sun Erni glanced at her sideways, "Why are you dreaming so much? Where can I find a job for you? Jiang Xinlan's job cost seven hundred yuan. Do you have seven hundred yuan in your pocket?"
"Mom, I don't have seven hundred, but can't you help me? You see, I'm the only unemployed among the three daughters-in-law in the family. I'll be embarrassed when people talk about me like that. Please talk to my eldest sister for me. My eldest brother-in-law is the director of a cannery. He should be able to help with this!" If it were in the past, Su Qiuyan would definitely not say such a thing, but now she has the confidence.
"If you want to go, go ahead and do it yourself. I won't go." Sun Erni carried the sleeping child to the bed, then covered the edge with a quilt and sat beside her to make matchboxes.
"Mom, you..." Su Qiuyan was furious, thinking that her mother-in-law looked down on her. When Jiang Xinbai was pregnant, her mother-in-law always supported her, gave her all the delicious food, and never said a harsh word to her. Why was it completely different when it came to her?
Su Qiuyan felt a stomachache when she thought of this, so she rolled her eyes, covered her stomach and wailed, "Ouch, Mom, my stomach hurts, Mom..."
Although Sun Erni was busy pasting matchboxes with her hands, her eyes were always on Su Qiuyan. Naturally, she saw what she had just done. She loosened her hands and dropped a matchbox.
"Come on, I'll take you to the hospital. If I can't find out what's wrong with you today, I'll smash the hospital. Why do you feel sick every other day? If it doesn't work, don't keep this child. You're so young and I'm torturing you like this. I think you don't belong to our Yang family."
After Sun Erni finished speaking, she was about to pull Su Qiuyan out. Su Qiuyan was so scared that she quickly squatted down and hid. She hid back in the room with a whoosh, "Mom, I'll be fine after lying down for a while. There's no need to go to the hospital."
"Hmph, you have so many little ideas." Sun Erni snorted coldly and sat down again to continue pasting matchboxes.
In the evening, Yang Jinsheng, who had just returned home from get off work, looked around and caught his father who was trying to hide in his room. He smiled and said, "Dad, you have been thinking about the name of this child for about a month. How is it? Have you thought of it? If you don't register it now, it will be the New Year."
Yang Fugui coughed twice and explained, "We need to be careful about the name. Xiaobao is our first grandson. I need to think about it carefully. Don't worry."
"I'm not in a hurry. If you delay any longer, Xiaobao will be going to elementary school." Yang Jinsheng joked with a smile.
Seeing this, Sun Erni also said, "Old man, you better hurry up. It will be easier to register the household registration once you have a name, so that we can add one more person to our food ration. The New Year is coming soon, and this year we can get more food with one more person."
"Yes, Dad, let me see what names you have chosen. After all, I am Xiaobao's father, so it's okay for me to take a look!" Yang Jinsheng urged his father to tell him the names he had chosen so that he could refer to them.
Yang Fugui had no choice but to take out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Here, it's all here, take a look for yourself!"
Yang Jinqiang was quick and grabbed the paper before his brother. He unfolded it and read, "Yang Kangjian, Yang Tianci, Yang Tianen... Dad, what kind of names are these? I can come up with any two that sound better than yours."
Yang Jinqiang really disliked the name his father had given him. He had spent over a month thinking about it. It really made it difficult for his father.
Yang Jinsheng also looked speechless. He thought the name could be very nice. It would be better to let him choose it himself.
Yang Fugui was shocked. "Is it really that bad? I think it's pretty good. Look at the first name, it means healthy and fit, how good! It's a gift from heaven. Xiaobao is a gift from heaven. What's wrong with it?"
"Then why don't you just call him Yang Jiankang, that would be better." Yang Jinqiang complained. What is this? Fortunately, he didn't let his father choose the names for his two daughters.
Yang Fugui was deeply shocked when he saw his two sons' disgusted expressions. However, he still looked at Sun Erni and asked, "Erni, how about you tell me about the name I chose? They don't understand..."
Sun Erni gave him a look of disdain. "After thinking for so long, I thought you could come up with some resounding name, but this is it? Any name I pick will sound better than yours."
Yang Fugui was also angry, "Come on, just pick one, I want to see what name you can come up with."
Sun Erni was naturally dissatisfied when she heard this. She raised her neck and looked around, then lowered her head to look at the child in her arms. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She smiled and said, "Let's call him Yang Jiabao, the Yang family's treasure. It sounds better than those names you have!"
"Yang Jiabao, the baby of the Yang family, hey, you know what, the name mom gave it is quite easy to pronounce." Yang Jinsheng was happy, he liked this name.
"Yeah, I think it's good too." Yang Jinqiang also nodded.
"What's good?" Li Huifen walked in from outside carrying a bag.
"We are talking about naming the little ones. Mom said Yang Jiabao or Huifen. Don't they sound nice?" Yang Jinqiang looked at his wife, wondering whether he should change the names of his two daughters as well. Yang Jiazhen or Yang Jianing sound very grand.
Li Huifen thought for a moment and nodded, "It sounds nice." After all, they are a couple, so she also thought about whether she could change the names of her two daughters.
"Third brother, when will Xiaobao be registered? Then we can change Zhenzhen and Ningning's names as well, to Yang Jiazhen and Yang Jianing." The more Li Huifen talked about it, the more she felt that the name sounded nice. Why didn't she think of it before?
Yang Jinsheng was somewhat helpless, "Sister-in-law, I am naming my son now, why are you joining in the fun?"
Li Huifen didn't care. She waved her hand and said, "No matter what name you give Xiaobao, I have decided to change the names of Zhenzhen and Ningning, right? Jinqiang, you also think these two names sound good, right?"
