Chapter 246 Changing Surname
Ai Xiaoxia also told her parents some of her thoughts: "Mom and Dad, I plan to change my last name, but not my given name. After all, everyone who knows me has called me Xiaoxia for so many years, and I'm used to it. Besides, the name Xiaoxia was given by Grandpa Ai, and it has nothing to do with Ai Weimin, Meng Qiuju, and the others."
Of course, another reason is that she traveled here from summer, and her previous life was also called Xiaoxia. This name is also of commemorative significance to her.
Lin Jianye understood what Ai Xiaoxia said and said, "Okay, then let's change it to Lin Xiaoxia. People around us won't have to adapt to it again. The summer forest, with its chirping birds and fragrant flowers, is fresh and natural, and it suits my daughter perfectly."
Huang Wanxia also nodded and said, "Well, okay, that's settled then. I think it's a good idea too."
Lin Jianye calculated the time and said, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and many companies will be working half-days. So let's make a plan and go to the district police station the day after tomorrow to change the name."
Ai Xiaoxia had no objection to this and agreed directly: "Okay, I'll be at home waiting for Dad's call the day after tomorrow morning."
She had previously signed some contracts for the bath center under the name Ai Xiaoxia. If she changed her name in the middle, she would have to issue a lot of certificates and so on, which would have caused a lot of trouble. But after what Ai Zhu did to her sister, she really didn't want to use this surname for another day. That family was really disgusting.
After dinner, they chatted for a while, and of course they couldn't help but joke about Lin Rui and An Ning, and then Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen went home.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Jingshen and his colleagues also worked half a day. Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen bought some Yuanxiao in the afternoon and returned to their hometown to celebrate the festival. Because they had many interesting customs and traditions here, Ai Xiaoxia arranged to go back and celebrate the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
After arriving home, they went to buy some fireworks and firecrackers. By this time, the snow on the road had melted and the dirt road was a little muddy. The feeling of walking on tiptoe through puddles made Ai Xiaoxia feel like she was back in her childhood.
Lu Lin and Su Changzhu knew that they were back, so they brought Xiaobao to visit them and gave them some homemade fried cakes.
Xiaobao can talk a lot. When he sees Ai Xiaoxia, he asks this and that. He calls her "Auntie" all the time, which makes Ai Xiaoxia's heart melt. She thinks that once she is admitted to night school, she will hurry up to have a baby, or have two more, since she can afford to raise them anyway. This little guy is really fun.
Before dinner, Lu Lin and her family went back home, and Ai Xiaoxia and her family also had dinner early because they still had a lot of activities to do after dinner.
First, you have to go to the river to roll the ice, rolling away the bad luck and illness of the past year and rolling in good luck for the new year.
When they arrived at the river, many people had already arrived. This custom looked a bit funny. Ice rolling means lying on the ice and rolling twice. At this time, many people were rolling around on the river bank.
The ice on the river was very thick and had not melted yet. Everyone was close to the shore and there was no danger.
Although Lu Jingshen was not interested in these things, he could not resist Ai Xiaoxia's enthusiasm and was dragged by Ai Xiaoxia and rolled on the ground twice.
Li Shaofen also brought a broom, and after rolling, she had to sweep it, saying something like sweeping away illnesses and disasters.
After rolling ten thousand ices, you have to visit a hundred families. It doesn’t mean you have to visit a hundred families, but just visit more families for good luck. However, you have to visit families with good surnames, such as the Jin family, the Qian family, the Mi family, and so on.
Ai Xiaoxia didn't have to worry about this. She went to several houses with her parents-in-law. They didn't sit down when they went in. They just said hello and walked around.
Finally, we returned home and lit a bonfire. Some people used straw, some used corn cobs or rubber or something like that. If you stood on the mountain and looked down, the whole village was brightly lit and very beautiful.
After all this, I didn’t fall asleep until the middle of the night.
Although it is said that the Chinese New Year is over after the second day of the second month, in fact, the Chinese New Year is over after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Those who need to go to work go to work, those who need to go out to work go to work, and schools will also start.
The next morning, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to the city because Lu Jingshen had to go to work, and she had also made an appointment with Lin Jianye to change her name.
Lu Jingshen also supported Ai Xiaoxia's desire to change her surname quickly. Contract matters would at most be a little troublesome, and it would just require more proof. After changing her surname, Ai Xiaoxia would feel at ease.
Ai Xiaoxia had not been sitting at home for a while when she received a call from Lin Jianye, who said he was driving over and asked her to go out and wait for him in a few minutes.
Ai Xiaoxia was very anxious, so she went out to wait with her ID card, household registration book, etc. Because Lu Jingshen's unit allocated a house, his household registration was separated and in the city. Ai Xiaoxia married him, so her household registration was also here, which was convenient.
After a while, Lin Jianye arrived, and Huang Wanxia also came. The couple were very concerned about their daughter's affairs. Changing her name was a big deal, so the couple had to come together.
After getting in the car, Huang Wanxia took Ai Xiaoxia's hand and said, "Your dad has already said hello over there, so let's just go over there."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Well, I was thinking that I had signed quite a few contracts for the bathing center, and changing the name in the middle might cause more trouble. But now I would rather have more trouble than have anything to do with them."
Lin Jianye said, "I've asked a friend about this. They can get you some ID and name change certificates directly at the police station. Just take them with you when you need them. If you need to get a stamp or something, Dad will go with you. The director of our district police station is my classmate. These are all trivial matters."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lin Jianye and smiled: "Dad, thank you for following my wishes in everything."
Lin Jianye also laughed: "After twenty years of using a person's name, you've become accustomed to it. I also want to wait until you have made up your mind before changing it."
"Dad, Mom, I should have changed it earlier. I shouldn't have made you wait so long." Ai Xiaoxia felt a little guilty. She didn't pay much attention to this matter before. Maybe young people don't have so many thoughts about this. But now seeing her parents' expressions, she knew that her parents were looking forward to it.
Huang Wanxia hugged Ai Xiaoxia and said, "Silly girl, these are all trivial matters. As long as you are back, everything will be fine."
As they were talking, they arrived at the local police station. The director Zhang Dong and Lin Jianye were classmates and were already waiting at the door.
When he heard Lin Jianye talk about the child being swapped, he was surprised and angry. As a person in the public security system, he had a strong sense of right and wrong, and this incident really made him very angry, but he also knew that he could not be sentenced, only financial compensation, and the punishment was too light. However, there was indeed no relevant and complete law at present.
Zhang Dong saw them coming and stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Jianye: "Old classmate, I have to congratulate you on what happened today. You found your daughter."
Lin Jianye shook hands with Zhang Dong and said, "Yes, it's a happy event. I'll trouble you, old classmate, today." Then he turned to Ai Xiaoxia and said, "This is Uncle Zhang Dong."
Ai Xiaoxia called Zhang Dong "Uncle Zhang".
