In early September, Wen Jing was finally pushed into the delivery room a few days after her due date. The entire Song family gathered outside the delivery room, anxiously waiting.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, the door of the delivery room opened and a nurse came out holding a crying baby. "Wenjing's family member?"
Jiang Yiyu hurriedly pushed Song Ming over. The nurse handed the baby to him and said, "It's a little girl. Congratulations!"
Song Ming took the small, soft baby with shaking hands. Wang Jing was afraid that he couldn't hold the child steadily, so she stepped forward, carefully took the baby, and coaxed the baby gently.
After waiting for a while, Wen Jing was finally pushed out. Song Ming hurried forward to see her. Wen Jing glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm hungry."
Song Ming walked hurriedly while saying: "We can eat later, then eat! It's already prepared."
Wen Jing hummed and closed her eyes tiredly.
When she woke up, she heard Song Ming discussing the issue of naming the child with Wang Jing and others.
Wen Jing glanced at the child sleeping in the crib next to her and sighed silently. She really didn't want her daughter to be called Princess Song or Princess Song...
At the critical moment, it was Song Shengsheng who stepped forward and stopped the farce in time: "Mom, Dad, brother, this child is young, calling her Princess or Gege is cute, but you have to think about her future. You can't let her be called Princess Song or Gege Song when she is in her sixties or seventies, right?"
Wang Jing said, "I don't think it's a big deal."
Song Shengsheng looked at Wen Jing: "Sister Wen Jing, it's your daughter, you decide. You should choose the name!"
Jiang Yiyu agreed: "Yes! That's right!"
Song Ming also nodded in agreement.
Wen Jing said, "Actually... I don't think it's a good idea either, but I haven't decided on a name for her yet. Shengsheng, you're the most educated, so could I trouble you with this?"
Song Shengsheng clapped his hands: "Leave it to me!"
Because she had agreed to name the baby, Song Shengsheng seemed to have completely moved into the study. She flipped through the Xinhua Dictionary, Cihai, and the Book of Songs and Chu Ci. Jiang Yiyu leaned against the table and picked up a book and started flipping through it, but he couldn't concentrate after just a few glances.
"My dear, you don't have to torture yourself like this."
Song Shengsheng continued flipping through the book without even looking up. "Naming is a big deal. If nothing goes wrong, it will be with the baby for the rest of his life, so we must choose it carefully. There are many things to pay attention to when choosing a name, so we can't just make do!"
"So you've been busy for a few days. Did you come up with anything?"
Song Shengsheng shook her head, leaned back in her chair and sighed, "Naming is harder than writing a paper!"
Song Shengsheng stared at the ceiling in deep thought for a while, then looked at Jiang Yiyu: "Do you think it would be best to find a respected elder to name this child?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yeah! Well, I'll go see my teacher tomorrow and ask him for help!"
"That's fine. But will it be too much trouble for the professor?"
"Teacher, you are very knowledgeable. Coming up with a name is not a big deal."
…
The next morning, Song Shengsheng knocked on the professor's office door with two bottles of good wine.
As soon as the professor saw the wine she had placed on his desk, he knew she had something to ask for. "I am a man of integrity and integrity, and I do not accept bribes."
Song Shengsheng pulled a chair and sat down opposite him: "This is not a bribe, it's a tribute. Teacher, I need your help with something!"
The professor snorted arrogantly: "I knew it. Tell me first and I'll see if I can help."
Song Shengsheng cleared his throat and said, "My brother and sister-in-law gave birth to a little girl. I thought you were both highly respected and well-educated, so I wanted to ask you to help me choose a name for her!"
"Naming is not an easy task. I am most worried about naming."
"Teacher, please help me think about it!" Song Shengsheng stretched out his hand and pushed the wine forward: "For the sake of good wine, please help me!"
The professor glanced at the wine box and asked, "Not a bribe?"
"It's a favor! This wine is just for you to drink while you think of a name!"
The professor smiled and said, "You're so clever." He picked up a box of wine and looked at it carefully. "Come the day after tomorrow."
“Thank you, teacher!”
…
The naming problem was solved, and Song Shengsheng was relieved. She told the news to Wen Jing, who was still in confinement after childbirth. Wen Jing held the child and coaxed her, whispering, "Finally, we don't have to call her Princess or Gege anymore. Shengsheng, you're still reliable, much better than your brother."
Song Shengsheng reached out and poked the child's rosy cheeks. "My brother has been so happy these past few days, telling everyone he knows he's had a baby girl. He wants everyone in the world to know how adorable his daughter is and how great his wife is. Sister Wenjing, have you seen his WeChat Moments post? It's a long tirade praising a mother's love. It even made Mom cry yesterday. He kept saying that it was all thanks to you that his son has finally grown up!"
Wen Jing gently handed the sleeping child to the confinement nanny, then smiled and reached out to take an apple and handed it to her: "I knew he posted it on WeChat Moments, and I knew it would be very cheesy. There were so many words, and I got a headache just looking at it, so I didn't even finish reading it, and I forgot whether I liked it or not."
Song Shengsheng took the apple and took a bite: "Anyway, my brother is really much more reliable now, and he knows how to take care of the family. It's amazing that having a child can really make him focus. As the old saying goes, it's better to start a family and build a career. Although it's not always true, there is still some truth to it."
"What about you? Jiang Yiyu has already planned to quit the entertainment industry. Can you guys also put the issue of having children on the agenda?"
"We don't have any plans to do so for now, and I don't really want him to retire. Sister Wen Jing, you've worked with him for so many years, you should know how dazzling Jiang Yiyu is on screen. If you say that he started filming just to find a way out in life, then his persistence until now is more than just a way out. He loves this profession, and I also like to see him standing on the podium, shining."
"But it was his own decision after all."
"I know he did it to protect me and his family, and also because he didn't want to see his name and his father's name mentioned together again. But if he doesn't show up, won't they be mentioned together? Just because of this, he has to give up the love he has held on to for so many years. I feel very wronged.
But I don't know how to persuade him. A while ago, I accompanied him to a guest appearance on the set. Seeing him stand in front of the camera and listening to the director and his co-stars praising him made me feel very proud. Seeing him leave the set and detach himself from the character's loneliness, I felt that if there weren't so many troubles, he should have been the leading man. His appearance could overshadow all the protagonists. He was always meant to be the protagonist.
Wen Jing sighed, "I've admired him for so many years, but some things... some choices inevitably lead to problems."
"I understand, so I hope the team can give him more work in the future. I think if he gets more work and is immersed in it, maybe he won't have time to think about random things."
"We should respect his opinion on this matter, right?"
"I asked him if he would be willing to stand on stage all the time if he didn't have family issues. He told me that although he's often tired, he's happy most of the time. There's nothing wrong with being happy."
