Chapter 282 Xiao Taozi changes her name
Lu Liangchen was drinking water when he suddenly heard his daughter's words and almost choked on the water.
"Xiao Taozi, this name... do you really want it?"
Although it is said that the most vulgar is the most elegant, isn't this a little too vulgar?
Little Peach didn't think so, but nodded solemnly.
Now, even He Wanyi was speechless.
If she had known the little one would think this way, she would not have called her Little Peach Flower. Now, such a beautiful granddaughter has to change her name to this. What should she do in the future?
She looked at her son and daughter-in-law with an apologetic look.
She was really wrong!
"Xiao Taozi, mom thinks that the name Xiao Taozi is a good one. Xiao Taozi Huahua, isn't it good for grandma to have Huahua just for her?" Jiang Haitang thought about it and found a way to persuade her daughter not to change her name.
Xiao Taozi thought for a while and asked He Wanyi, "Grandma, do you want me to be your flower?"
He Wanyi immediately nodded solemnly: "Of course, grandma's only one, so great!"
He Wanyi's performance this time was extremely exaggerated.
Sure enough, the little guy was satisfied.
Jiang Haitang suddenly remembered something important and asked Lu Liangchen, "Is it time to decide on a name for Xiao Taozi?"
In fact, he had been thinking about this matter before. Lu Liangchen thought that his daughter was Tian Liangcheng's only flesh and blood. Would it be better if he changed her name? But now, he was afraid that not changing her name would be bad for the child.
Perhaps, when Xiao Taozi grows up a little bit, someone will instigate her and say that they are not treating her well and that is why they don’t let her change her name.
"Let's change it. From now on, your last name will be Lu. How about calling yourself Youwei?"
He Wanyi agreed very much after hearing this: "This is a good name, Lu Youwei. Does Xiao Taozi want this name?"
After hearing this, Xiao Taozi clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Taozi has a new name. From now on, I'll be called Lu Youwei. So am I still Xiao Taozi?"
"Of course it's Xiao Taozi. Mom and Dad call you Xiao Taozi, and when you go to school, your teacher calls you Lu Youwei."
Little Peach was satisfied and clapped her hands and cheered.
He Wanyi said, "I want to bring Xiao Taozi back to Beijing to live for a while. You're busy with work now, and Haitang is pregnant. It would be too hard to take care of a child. I'll take Xiao Taozi back first and let her study with the other children in the compound so she can get used to it."
Jiang Haitang hesitated. She and Lu Liangchen exchanged a glance. Before she could answer, Xiao Taozi raised her head. "Should I go to Beijing with Grandma? Can I see Great-Grandpa and my brothers?"
He Wanyi nodded: "Of course, Grandpa misses you. You can still go to school and play with your brothers."
Xiao Taozi's eyes lit up and she turned to her parents: "Dad, Mom, can I go?"
"Xiao Taozi, are you really willing to go? You won't cry because you miss your parents?" Lu Liangchen squatted down and asked Xiao Taozi at eye level.
Xiao Taozi hesitated.
She looked at her parents, then at her grandmother, and fell into deep confusion.
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry. Before grandma leaves, Xiao Taozi can consider it."
"I want grandma, grandpa, brother, great-grandfather, and I also want mom and dad..."
"Or, Xiao Taozi, you can go live with grandma for a month. If you miss your parents, you can come back, okay?" He Wanyi continued to ask.
Little Peach thought about it and nodded: "Okay, Little Peach is a big kid now, I won't cry!"
Jiang Haitang hesitated: "Mom, this is too much trouble for you..."
"It's not a problem," He Wanyi said firmly, "There's a nanny at home to help, and Aiguo and the others are here to play with Xiao Taozi."
Lu Liangchen saw his wife's reluctance and said softly, "Don't worry too much. We will return to the capital before you give birth. Xiao Taozi will not be separated from us for too long.
After the family discussed such a big thing, they happily went hiking. However, due to Jiang Haitang's physical condition, they actually just walked around the foot of the mountain.
On the way home, Xiao Taozi was tired, so Lu Liangchen carried her on his back.
The little guy lay on his father's back and fell asleep in a short while.
He Wanyi looked at her son carrying his granddaughter on his back and whispered to Jiang Haitang, "When Liangchen was a child, his father often carried him like this. In the blink of an eye, this brat is now carrying his own child."
Jiang Haitang smiled: "Xiao Taozi is very attached to him. Sometimes I am jealous."
"You've brought her up very well," He Wanyi said sincerely. "She's smart, sensible, and lively and cheerful."
Jiang Haitang shook her head: "It's her nature. She's the daughter of a martyr, and she's a good child at heart."
He Wanyi patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Blood relationship is not important; what is important is love. I can see that you have given her a lot of love. From now on, she will be called Lu Youwei. She is the first girl in our Lu family and will definitely be cared for and cherished like a treasure."
In the evening, He Wanyi once again demonstrated her superb cooking skills and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
After waking up, Xiao Taozi was full of energy. She ran around her grandmother and was extremely happy. She also discussed with He Wanyi where to go and what delicious food to eat after arriving in the capital.
"We went to see Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall, and we also had roast duck, donkey rolls, and candied haws..."
Little Taozi's mouth was watering when she heard this, which made the adults laugh.
During the meal, Lu Liangchen talked about the work at the factory: "We recently received a large order, so we might be busy for a while. Haitang is also busy. The new drawings at the machinery factory are at a critical stage."
He Wanyi frowned. "No matter how important work is, it's not as important as your health. Haitang, you need rest the most right now. Liangchen, you can't stop taking care of her and let her suffer just because she's your wife."
Lu Liangchen really didn't know how to answer this question, so Jiang Haitang quickly said, "Mom, I'm fine. The doctor said that proper work is actually good for pregnant women. And I'm very careful and won't force myself."
Lu Liangchen also chimed in: "Yes, Mom, Haitang is very careful. Although I can't take special care of her, I definitely won't let her do heavy work."
He Wanyi actually knew that her son was the factory director and could not give special care to his daughter-in-law.
She glared at her son and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let your wife work in the textile factory."
"Oh my god, don't let anyone else hear this. If Director Mao gets to his ears, he'll come and poach me today."
Jiang Haitang couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere became relaxed.
He Wanyi no longer insisted and simply said, "In short, you should do it according to your ability. If you feel uncomfortable, rest immediately."
After dinner, He Wanyi began to prepare small clothes for her unborn baby.
"Mom, I'll do it slowly, don't get too tired."
The clothes made by He Wanyi have fine stitching and soft fabrics, making them very suitable for children.
"Why are you tired? I'm not tired. When I get back, I'll wash the clothes those brats wore and send them to you."
Little Taozi also came over, carefully touched the little clothes, and suddenly asked: "Mom, when will the baby come out?"
Jiang Haitang calculated: "Probably in autumn, when the apples are ripe."
"Then can I take the baby to the park to see the flowers? Why can't he come out earlier? Then I can take her to see the flowers."
"Next year you can take the baby to see the flowers." Jiang Haitang kissed her daughter's forehead. "By then, you'll be the big sister. You have to take care of the baby."
Little Peach puffed out her chest and said, "I can do it! I'll tell the baby stories and teach him to recognize flowers!"
He Wanyi looked at this scene with relief in her eyes.
It was late at night, and little Taozi had fallen asleep listening to her grandmother's stories.
He Wanyi gently tucked the quilt in for her. When she was about to go to the living room to drink some water, she saw Jiang Haitang still sorting documents in the living room.
"Why don't you rest so late?" He Wanyi asked softly.
Jiang Haitang looked up and smiled: "It will be ready soon. Mom, you go to bed first."
He Wanyi sat down and said, "I'll keep you company for a moment. Are these work documents?"
"Yes, I'll need it next week." Jiang Haitang closed the folder.
He Wanyi nodded: "In our era, few women could have their own careers. Seeing you like this now, Mom is very proud of you."
Jiang Haitang was a little surprised: "Don't you think I should take care of my family more?"
"Taking care of the family is certainly important, but a woman should also have her own world." He Wanyi said seriously, "Our family doesn't need a daughter-in-law to give up her career for the family. Haitang, just focus on your career. Mom will always support you."
Jiang Haitang nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Mom."
"Okay, go to bed." He Wanyi stood up. "We'll make dumplings tomorrow."
Jiang Haitang agreed with a smile, packed up the documents and returned to her room.
Lying in bed, she thought about her mother-in-law's meticulous care over the past few days, and her heart felt warm.
Although she was a little reserved at first, she now truly felt He Wanyi's care for her, an emotion that was almost maternal love.
She began to look forward to the day when she would be transferred back to the capital.
Living with my family seems like a good idea.
Seeing Jiang Haitang was lost in thought, Lu Liangchen asked, "What are you thinking about, Haitang?"
"I was thinking, it wouldn't be bad to live with everyone when we return to the capital."
"Haitang, we can actually choose to live with Grandpa Jiang."
Jiang Haitang couldn't believe what she heard.
"Liangchen, are you serious?"
"Grandpa Jiang only has you as his relative. If you can accompany him, it might be good for his health."
Jiang Haitang was so moved that she nestled her head in Lu Liangchen's arms: "I thought you wouldn't agree."
"Years ago, my grandfather almost gave me to Grandpa Jiang as a grandson. I never thought that I would not become a grandson. In the end, I became his grandson-in-law. We live with Grandpa Jiang, and Grandpa can rest assured."
