Chapter 88: Change of Name
Yang Jinqiang naturally agreed. He was very happy that his wife thought the same as him, so he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we will change the name. Lao San, I think Jiabao is a good name, let's call him that!"
"Mom and Dad, why are you all gathered here?" Jiang Xinbai walked in with a black fish in his hand.
"Wow, where did such a big fish come from?" Yang Jinsheng saw the black fish at first sight. He quickly stepped forward to take it and weighed it. "Well, it must be about four or five kilograms, right?"
Jiang Xinbai shook his head. "I don't know. It was from Xiaomei's husband. It cost one dollar."
"That's a good deal. The supply and marketing cooperative charges 3.5 cents per pound. A fish this big should probably cost 1.7 yuan. We'll stew it in the evening. Hmm, half of it can be stewed in soup, and the other half can be braised! Xinbai, here, I'll give you the money." Jiang Xinbai naturally took the money handed over by her mother-in-law. Since everyone had to eat together, the money would naturally have to be paid from the public fund.
"By the way, what were you talking about just now that was so lively."
"Xiaobai, you're back just in time. Mom has chosen a name for Xiaobao, Yang Jiabao. What do you think? Or maybe you like the one dad gave you better? Take a look, this is the name dad has been thinking about for over a month." Yang Jinsheng said as he took the paper from his eldest brother's hand and handed it to Jiang Xinbai.
Jiang Xinbai lowered his head and saw that it sounded a little unpleasant.
"Xinbai, I think Jiabao is a good name. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law think so too. They said they want to change Zhenzhen and Ningning's names to Jiazhen and Jianing. Look, add Jiabao to it, and you can tell they are a family." Sun Erni said with a smile. She felt that she was very smart and that her eldest grandson deserved this name.
"Yang Jiabao, that's fine, I think it sounds nice too. Jinsheng, find time to register your household registration tomorrow. We can't delay it any longer." Jiang Xinbai couldn't think of a better-sounding name, so this was it.
"..." Yang Fugui sat down helplessly. It turned out that no one cared about his thoughts.
At this time, Su Qiuyan also came out of the room, holding her lower back, "Mom, haven't you cooked yet? I'm hungry."
Sun Erni glanced at her, then handed the child to Jiang Xinbai, "You hold Xiaobao, I'll go cook."
Li Huifen rolled her eyes at the pretentious Su Qiuyan, who acted like she was someone who had never been pregnant before. Why was she holding her waist when her belly wasn't even showing? The baby wasn't even as big as a soybean. She was really being pretentious.
But she still asked with an air of watching a good show: "Qiuyan, we were just discussing Xiaobao's name, and we have decided to call him Yang Jiabao. Your eldest brother and I both said that we should change Zhenzhen and Ningning's names to Jiazhen Jianing. Does your Lili want to change it?"
"Why should my Lili change? Why should she be the same as others?" Su Qiuyan deliberately glanced at Jiang Xinbai when she talked about others.
Jiang Xinbai was speechless. She didn't bother to pay attention and went into the room holding the child.
Li Huifen was not afraid of making trouble and continued to laugh: "Hey, how can you say that? Look, our family is called Jiazhen Jianing, and the third brother's family is Jiabao. Only your family has not changed it. It doesn't sound like you are a family at all!"
"Why aren't we a family anymore? Do we have to change? Why?" Su Qiuyan asked back. If she just doesn't change, what can be done to her?
Yang Jinqiang pulled his wife aside and said, "Don't add fuel to the fire." Then he smiled at Su Qiuyan and said, "Qiuyan, if you don't want to change, then don't change. Your sister-in-law is just saying it. There is no other meaning."
"Brother, I would say you shouldn't change the name. Zhenzhen Ningning sounds so nice. Why bother changing it?" Su Qiuyan thought that Li Huifen and the others were just idle and there was no point in changing the name.
At the dinner table, Yang Xiumin nodded repeatedly while eating the braised fish, "Mom, this fish is so delicious. I can eat another bowl of this soup."
"Aunt, I can do it too." Yang Zhenzhen shouted, raising her hand.
"I can do it too." The other two children also said.
"You are so nice. Eat one more bowl of rice. Just eat until you are full." Sun Erni pointed at them from a distance. If they were really allowed to eat as much as they wanted, they would not be able to sustain them for even half a month with the little food at home.
Yang Xiumin stuck out her tongue and turned to look at Jiang Xinbai, "Third sister-in-law, where did your colleague's husband catch the fish? Why don't we go fishing too? This way we don't have to spend money."
Jiang Xinbai paused while picking up the food. "I don't know exactly where, but it should be in the river nearby, right? It's okay to go fishing now if the weather is not cold, but if it gets cold, it probably won't be possible. People can't stand being outside."
"Go fishing. Isn't today's meal enough for you? Don't even think about fishing. The river bank is slippery. It would be bad if you slip in. Besides, not everyone can catch fish. Some people come back empty-handed."
It's not like someone has gone fishing in the yard before, but after waiting for most of the day, they could only catch a small fish at most, which was not worth the effort.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Su Qiuyan, who was drinking fish soup, glanced at her husband and thought for a moment. She thought about letting her husband go fishing when he was resting, and say that he bought the fish when he caught them. This way, her mother-in-law would give her money and she could eat the fish, which would be killing two birds with one stone.
After dinner, in the room, Su Qiuyan told her husband her idea, and then urged him: "You can put the fishing rod outside at ordinary times, and say you bought it when you catch something, so that we can still earn some money."
Yang Jinwei hesitated, "Isn't this bad? Isn't this cheating?"
"How is that cheating? Didn't we spend time and effort fishing? Besides, have you cheated people less since you were a child? Now you're saying this. Think about it, we are the weaker branch in the family now. You earn money for the four of us to spend..."
"Where did four people come from?" Yang Jinwei stretched out his hand and counted, but why were there only three people?
"You're such a stubborn person. Isn't this what I'm thinking?" Su Qiuyan poked her husband's forehead fiercely. "Your son's birth cost even more money. Education and marriage also cost money. If you don't save money for him now, where will you find it later?"
"..." Yang Jinwei was speechless. Let's not talk about whether it was a son or not. Isn't it too far away to get married? At least another 20 years, right?
Su Qiuyan touched her belly and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want my son to not be able to drink milk powder when he is born. The third son's family has drunk milk powder for several meals!"
"Why are you saying this? Didn't she have no milk at that time? You have to compare?" Yang Jinwei was really speechless. He felt that his wife's temperament had changed since she became pregnant. Not only did she become petty, but she was also a bit sarcastic.
"Why not compete? My son is worse than others, so I have to feed him with milk powder. Just tell me whether you want to go or not!" Now Su Qiuyan couldn't hear anything. She only wanted to compete with Jiang Xinbai to avenge the loss of milk.
"Go, go, can't I go?"
