Chapter 5: Full Moon



Donghua named He Luyi just a few days after she was born. Seeing that her daughter always liked to look at the printed picture of green mountains and green waters on the wall, it seemed that she really liked natural scenery.

"My dear, why do you like that painting so much? What do you see? Is it a tree or a flower?"

Donghua teased his daughter. Children, especially babies, are the most fun time. Just a little teasing will make them laugh so hard that their hearts melt.

He Feng was washing diapers. Seeing his daughter's toothless smile, he also smiled knowingly, "Wife, what should we name our daughter?"

"Hmm, let me think about it. I see she loves staring at that painting every day. Maybe she likes the color green? And the mountains and rivers in it. I don't understand them either, but I've heard of ink painting and such. What the hell is that?"

"That's called freehand painting and leaving blank space." He Feng looked at his uneducated daughter-in-law and quickly reminded her.

"What is freehand painting? What is leaving blank space? I don't understand that thing. It's not something I should eat or drink." Donghua is a real and down-to-earth person. He really can't understand any high-brow and fancy things.

"Okay, weren't we discussing naming our daughter? Why are we talking about this again?" He Feng had long been accustomed to his wife's hesitation, and she reminded him that business was more important, and naming was a big deal!

"Oh, yes! Look at my pig brain, it's true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years." Donghua smiled naively, feeling a little annoyed.

"Well, third brother, what do you think we should name it?" Donghua was really distressed. He had little education and his ideas were really limited.

After all this trouble, he still had to do it himself? He Feng must have thought his wife had already thought it through! He was just expecting too much and overthinking things.

"Just now you said our daughter likes to stare at paintings of green mountains and green waters, so let's be a little poetic. How about He Luyi?"

"It feels very ordinary, doesn't it? What's the meaning?" Donghua thought it was nothing special and didn't sound surprising at all.

"What a green thing, with vast green waters and rich meaning." He Feng didn't know how to explain it, but for some reason, he felt that his daughter should have this name.

"Oh, I don't understand what you are saying." Donghua said, you are a cultured person, and you can't afford to get hurt by being uncultured.

"Then ask my daughter if she likes it." He Feng would think that he had to ask the person concerned what he thought, even though the person concerned was just a baby who couldn't even speak.

"That's right, sweetheart. Daddy has given you a big name, He Luyi. Do you like it?"

He Luyi said that it was fine, after all, he was called this name in his previous life, and he would not be used to changing it suddenly. But it is true that the little baby cannot speak, so how to express himself?

Oh, it can laugh, cry, and move.

The thought lasted only a moment. When she heard her own mother's question, He Luyi smiled so hard that her saliva flowed out, and her hands and feet were shaking: "Satisfied, really satisfied. Very satisfied!"

"Wife, my daughter is smiling. She seems really happy and satisfied with the name." He Feng suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. He came up with the name himself, and his daughter liked it so much, which proved that he has a talent for naming!

Donghua chuckled and couldn't help laughing. Looking at her husband's appearance, she felt that he was becoming a daughter-slave.

Does this mean that having a daughter is enough?

"Hey~ don't laugh, my daughter likes me! She must be very satisfied to be so happy." He Feng was a little embarrassed and angry when his wife smiled like that.

"Yes, yes, you are right!" Donghua agreed. If she continued laughing, her husband would get angry.

It’s really so cute. A grown man can have such a little expression, haha.

He Luyi: Cold dog food slapped on my face! What did I do wrong to let a little baby eat my parents' dog food here? I'm falling (ノ\u003dД\u003d)ノ┻━┻

Seeing her parents in such a lively atmosphere, He Luyi decided to stop struggling and decided that sleeping would be the best thing to do.

The name was decided and He Luyi's household registration was also registered. He Luyi spent the full month in an endless cycle of weeding, breastfeeding and sleeping.

Generally speaking, a full moon celebration requires a banquet to invite relatives and friends to gather together, but considering that we all live far away and our family is not well-off, it is not very convenient to travel back and forth, so it is better to just have a meal with our family. When the baby is one year old, we can invite relatives to have a drink and share in the joy.

An invitation is an invitation, but whether they come or not is their business and we cannot force them.

In the countryside, no matter how poor it is, there must still be social interactions.

He Luyi's uncle is an expert at organizing banquets in the village. Whenever there is a wedding or funeral in the family, he will be invited to the banquet without any problem. The only problem is that he has a bad temper.

If you need to hold a banquet at home, just have your own family members attend. This was the case with He Luyi's first birthday party, but that's a story for later. For the full moon party, just have some food at home.

If it’s relatively close, you can invite them to come and have a meal together, for example, Erye’s house which is just a few meters away.

Old Man He and Er Ye are cousins. Old Man He is the hot-tempered type who bullies others at home, while Er Ye is the cowardly type. People give him the nickname "Er Liang Kua", which means he is slow at work and is like a piece of mud that cannot be helped.

Compared with Erye, Erye's wife is known as "Xuan Pineapple". She is the kind of person who works very efficiently, loves gossip, and likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

One day, I got together with other aunts and uncles to gossip about family matters, such as which families were getting married, which families were getting divorced, whether they were having children or not, and they knew the most gossip.

Commonly known as the gossip squad, if you listen to their gossip with your ears perked up, you can hear a lot of explosive news.

Old Mrs. He is different. She often keeps to herself and finds it difficult to fit in. Especially the love-hate relationship between Old Mrs. He and the second grandmother of her aunt can be traced back to a long time ago, and the two have an unsolvable grudge.

This is some information that He Luyi got in her previous life. To be honest, when it comes to gossip, the second aunt of the tang has the most.

In her previous life, He Luyi was in her twenties. Her grandmother didn’t urge her to get married, but her second grandmother had talked to her about it several times. It was really awesome!

As for this life, I haven't come into contact with it yet. It's undeniable that we are still young! Maybe, probably, it's even stronger! Right?

He Luyi: I am still a baby, I know nothing and I am not clear about anything.

To be honest, the full moon is nothing special to He Luyi. After experiencing the increasingly weak New Year atmosphere in later generations, all the sense of ritual and festivals are just ordinary days to He Luyi.

The adults wanted to celebrate, but He Luyi wanted to farm. However, she couldn't cook without rice. She had no tools and no seeds. It was so difficult! She was so worried!

From birth to now, He Luyi has only gone out a few times. Occasionally, her father would take her out for some fresh air, but she would come back soon, so she didn't see anything clearly.

"It seems I can only wait until I grow up. Fortunately, although my family is poor, we can still afford to eat, otherwise I would be even more worried." He Luyi was thankful that at least the house was not really left with only the northwest wind.

Although it is not enough to fill you up, it is still enough to meet your needs. Having said that, who doesn’t want to eat good food?

We still have to think of ways to improve the conditions at home.
