The two discussed it for a long time but still couldn't decide on a good name, so they had to put it aside for the time being.
Tang Xiaoxiao thought that Grandpa Han would name his great-grandson when the time came. She was quite easygoing about it and didn't insist that she should name the child she gave birth to.
The old man is quite cultured; he named all of Han's sons and grandsons, so his great-grandson won't be too bad either.
As for her youngest daughter, she'll think about it some more.
In previous years, the men in the living room would drink until around 2 p.m. Now it was still early, just past noon. Besides the old friends drinking, Grandpa Han and Grandma Han were still sitting at the table. The elderly couple were still vigorous and in good health. They paid attention to health preservation and, despite their age, were full of energy.
Grandma Han especially enjoys a little wine, and it has to be baijiu (Chinese white liquor). She's happily reunited with her husband and four sons, and doesn't want to leave the table at all.
The other younger family members finished eating and got up to leave. The Han family's house wasn't very big, just over 80 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room. The younger brothers went to the next room to play on their phones or sleep. Normally, they wouldn't have missed Han Yunqi, the second brother, but this year, with Tang Xiaoxiao heavily pregnant, they naturally didn't have the sense to come over and pull Han Yunqi away.
Guo Mingli and her sisters-in-law came to the young couple's room and found places to sit down. As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and these sisters-in-law got together and chatted away, giving no one else a chance to interrupt. Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi wisely kept quiet and listened to their gossip.
Then, as they talked, the conversation drifted to Tang Xiaoxiao.
The Han family had only heard Guo Mingli say that her daughter-in-law's family was quite wealthy, but they knew nothing about what they did. Not to mention that Tang Xiaoxiao's base was so far away in City A, they had never heard of it. Even if there were any disturbances in City D, they would rarely hear any news in their small county town of City K.
So I heard my second aunt, Yu Xiuping, say, "Have you heard about that new company that was built in Qingquan District? It's the land where the resort was originally built. Now they've set up some kind of ecological company. It has a pretty long name."
Fourth Aunt Li Fangfang chimed in, "I heard that Shi'an from our family even attended the opening ceremony of their company. Even our deputy mayor went."
At this point, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, as if to say, "Look at the big shots our Shi'an is in contact with," before continuing, "This company is quite remarkable. They say they've invested tens of millions, doing something like 'ecological farming and circular economy,' which doesn't pollute the environment and can provide many jobs. You tell me, wouldn't all the city leaders have to go and support them? This is all considered an achievement for our K City!"
Aunt Yu Xiuping said, "That's right. I'm not afraid to tell you, but my husband even took the initiative to contact their manager, thinking that such a big company must have a lot of initial investment, and whether they needed to take out a loan from the bank or something. But they rejected him outright. Such a big place is just a branch office. Their headquarters is in another city. They're not short of money!"
The two men were talking happily, but the other people in the room had different expressions.
Because Uncle Han was the least capable of his brothers, Aunt Han felt she lacked confidence in speaking, and she rarely spoke up, usually just listening quietly to others. Today was no different; she didn't utter a single word throughout the entire conversation.
