"Da Ya, what kind of shredded chili peppers are these? They smell pretty good! My mouth is watering!" Gu Hui was cooking in the kitchen when she took the shredded chili peppers that Gu Nian brought in, sniffed them, and smacked her lips as she spoke.
"Big sister, my dad said that he will be going to school in the future, so we can't call him Da Ya or Er Ya anymore. You can call me Gu Nian or Niannian, it's fine!" Gu Nian said.
"Ha, aside from arguing with me, I've never heard you talk to me for so long before! Gu Daya," Gu Hui said with a smile.
Gu Nian mentally scoffed at how childish she was, then said, "Big sister, we're all grandpa and grandma's granddaughters, so this 'big sister' title doesn't belong to me at all! You're the big sister, okay?"
Gu Hui choked.
“Niannian is right. If we were to rank them, Xiaohui, you really are the eldest! Niannian is the second eldest, Xinxin is the third eldest, and Xiaosi is the fourth eldest! Hahaha, from now on, we'll call Xiaohui the eldest!” Gu Shouren didn’t go to town today. He came in from outside the kitchen and happened to hear Gu Nian’s words. As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled the aroma. “Oh my, Niannian, is this the spicy pickled pepper that Xinxin said is so delicious? It smells amazing. Oh no, my mouth is watering.”
Gu Hui placed the twice-cooked pork with chili peppers on the table, feeling dejected.
Her father went too far; they had agreed before that he wouldn't call her Da Ya.
Gu Hui is the first grandchild of the Gu family. Zhang Shi called her Daya back then. When Grandpa Gu named her, she was already four years old and sensible. There were many Daya in the village, so she resolutely refused to be Daya.
It took several months of arguing before my family finally changed it.
Well, they've been called back now.
“Uncle, it’s really delicious! When we come back in a little while, I’ll bring you a jar from home so you can keep it to stir-fry! It can be stored for a long time, and even if you don’t stir-fry it with meat, you can stir-fry it with cabbage or something similar,” Gu Nian said.
"Niannian, let's go!" Cai Xiaolian called from outside.
"Uncle, Sister Daya, I'm leaving now!" Gu Nian greeted the father and daughter of the eldest son with a smile and ran out.
"You..." Gu Hui was furious.
That brat, she's gone too far!
"Haha, now there are two more daughters. Don't call them the wrong names! Xiao Hui, from now on, Dad will call you Da Fang Da Ya and Niannian Er Fang Da Ya, hmm, that way we can tell them apart!" Gu Shouren laughed as he saw his daughter's slightly angry face.
"Dad, so when your fourth uncle has his first daughter, will you call her 'Fourth Wife's First Daughter'? And when your youngest daughter, Gu Si, do you call her 'First Wife's Second Daughter'?" Gu Hui said irritably.
“Oh, now that you mention it, it’s true. What if your fourth uncle’s first child is also a girl? Then he should really be called the fourth daughter!” Gu Shouren said seriously.
Gu Shouli, who had just seen the person off, came in: "..."
I haven't even found a partner yet, and you already know that my first child is a girl?
...
"Niannian, what are you laughing at? You're just delivering a plate of vegetables, and you're all smiles!" Cai Xiaolian asked from the oxcart.
“Mom, I was laughing at my eldest cousin. I told her not to call me Da Ya, but she kept doing it. So I said that according to the birth order, she is Da Ya, and then my uncle came out and said that's right, she is Da Ya. My eldest cousin was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes at my uncle,” Gu Nian explained.
“Your eldest cousin used to be called Daya, but after your grandfather gave her a new name, she resolutely refused to be Daya anymore, because there were many Daya in the village!” Knowing that Gu Nian had no memory, Cai Xiaolian told her about Gu Hui’s childhood.
