Little Qin Hongzhen didn't think she was wrong. Everyone has their own name, and of course she couldn't have the same name as others.
"Third Aunt, this is the name my mother gave me. She can't have the same name as me."
Shen Annian half squatted down and said to her: “But think about it, Sister Chen is so much older than you, she must have been the first to name her Zhenzhen.
If it's like what you said, you should change your name, right?"
Qin Hongzhen's little head spun around, and she felt like the sky was about to fall.
If she can't be called Zhenzhen, does she have to go back to her old name?
She doesn't want it.
She wants to be Qin Hongzhen, not Zhao Daya.
"So I don't have a name anymore?"
"Of course not. You can still call me Zhenzhen. A name is just a code name. It doesn't matter what you're called. What matters is who you are."
Shen Anyian touched her little head and said, “There are so many people in the country, and there are many named Zhenzhen.
If you are called Little Flower, Little Grass, Little Tree, would you not be the same person? We can still recognize you."
"But there is no one with the same name in our village."
"That's because there are too few people in our village. It's different across the country. There are hundreds of millions of people in our country, and it's impossible for them all to have different names."
With Qin Hongzhen's knowledge, the concept of the whole country is a bit too difficult to understand. Let alone the whole country, she can't even understand it when talking about the county.
Shen An Nian saw the confusion in her eyes and patted her head gently. "You will understand these things when you grow up. Now go eat first."
Qin Hongzhen nodded, and before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Chen Zhenzhen, then ran out of the room with Xiao Douya.
Chen Zhenzhen sighed, "You are so patient. You can patiently explain things to a child who doesn't understand anything for such a long time."
"If I don't explain, she'll be sad."
"But even if you explain it to her, she still won't understand."
“Even though she doesn’t understand it now, it will definitely leave an impression on her and she will understand it in the future.
If you don’t tell a child anything just because she’s young, then she really doesn’t understand anything.”
Chen Zhenzhen nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, children should be taught from a young age."
"Get up quickly, it's time to eat."
Chen Zhenzhen put on her shoes, got out of bed, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and only went out after she was ready.
Shen Annian gave her some hot water and asked her to wash her face and rinse her mouth before taking her to the main hall for dinner.
Qin's mother knew that Chen Zhenzhen was coming, so she prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome her.
She is not only Nian Nian's friend, but also a benefactor to the entire village.
If it weren't for her, their business wouldn't have been able to succeed, and everyone wouldn't have such a good life today.
"Comrade Chen, we didn't know you were coming, so we just made some home-cooked dishes. Please don't be disgusted."
Chen Zhenzhen saw the dishes on the table. There were braised pork with bamboo shoots, bacon with fried garlic sprouts, sausage with fried snow peas, pickled fish, and chicken with mushrooms. They all looked delicious.
The New Year’s Eve dinner at their house was not as rich as this one. She felt embarrassed but also a little excited.
"Auntie, please don't say that. I'm embarrassed for bothering you to make so many delicious dishes."
Mother Qin: "Don't say that. Come sit down and eat."
Everyone was greedy and sat down.
Although conditions are better now than before, we still can't eat meat every day. We have only seen so many meat dishes like today, at the New Year's Eve dinner.
Shen Anyian pulled Chen Zhenzhen to sit next to him, "Don't be polite, just like at home, eat whatever you want."
Mother Qin also smiled and said, "Niannian is right. You've come all the way to see us. You must have worked hard. Eat more."
Chen Zhenzhen nodded.
She wouldn't be polite at all, she had no such intention.
She was afraid that they would think she was too relaxed.
Chen Zhenzhen enjoyed this meal very much and even felt a little full.
The main reason was that the food was so delicious, and Qin's mother and the others were so enthusiastic. One person urged her, two people urged her, and everyone urged her to eat more, so she accidentally ate too much.
After dinner, Shen Anyian took her outside for a walk to help digest the food.
Although this small mountain village is not as prosperous as a city, it has mountains and trees, and has a unique flavor.
The villagers were very welcoming. As they walked along, every villager they met would greet them.
Folks: "Niannian, where are you going?"
Shen Anyan: "I'm just taking a walk."
"This girl looks unfamiliar. Is she a relative of yours?"
Shen Annian: "She is my friend."
"Hello friend, come and take a look around. Our village is quite beautiful."
Shen Annian: "Yes, I was planning to take her for a good stroll."
After walking a little further, Chen Zhenzhen said, "You two have a really good relationship."
“There were bad times in my relationship before.”
It was only later that she was able to bring benefits to everyone, and they gradually became friendly to her.
Chen Zhenzhen was surprised and asked, "Did they treat you badly in the past?"
“When I first came to the countryside, I didn’t know how to do anything and I was slow at farm work.
In the countryside, everyone had to earn work points to survive. If they earned too little to support themselves, and the brigade could not just watch people starve to death, they would use food subsidies to subsidize the educated youth.
Although the subsidized food is not much, everyone is tightening their belts to make ends meet. Who would be happy to take food out of their own pockets?
Therefore, the villagers did not like the educated youth very much, and it was inevitable that they would look down on them."
Chen Zhenzhen said angrily, "They're going too far. Although... although you can't do farm work, you can do other things."
