Chapter 200 Li Zelan
"Mom, dinner is ready." Yuan came to the door and shouted happily.
Qin Fangci smiled and said, "San Ya, please ask your master to go out for dinner. Doctor Su, today's apprenticeship is too simple. We'll wait for another day..."
Doctor Su waved his hand. "This is the fate between San Ya and me. It's fate. Everything is the best arrangement. Don't worry about those empty formalities. However, there is one thing I need to discuss with you."
"Doctor Su, please speak." Doctor Su said with a smile, "I have never accepted an apprentice before. San Ya is my first. I want to record her name on the disciple card. Does your family plan to give her a famous name?"
Qin Fangci thought for a moment and said, "Since she has become your disciple, why don't you give her a good name?"
Doctor Su took two steps forward, his hands behind his back. "How about calling her Zelan?"
Doctor Su placed his large hand on Sanya's little head. "I hope you will be like the bluegrass, growing tenaciously in the face of adversity, eventually blooming with fragrance and bringing blessings to the whole community. Sanya, do you like this name?"
This time, without Grandma and Mother reminding her, San Ya nodded heavily, "I like it. I like you so much, Master. From now on, my name will be Li Zelan?"
Doctor Su saw that Qin Fangci and Mrs. Du both had smiles on their faces and showed no objection, so he smiled and nodded at San Ya.
"Thank you, Master." Li Zelan (Sanyah) cheered and ran out.
The little girl's joyful voice came from afar.
"Sisters, I have a name now. My master gave me a name, Li Zelan."
Da Ya, Er Ya, Si Ya, Da Dan Er and Er Dan Er: "..."
Aunt Li Yulan: "...Ah, your name is Li Zelan, and mine is Li Yulan. Would someone who doesn't know me mistakenly think we're from the same generation?"
As soon as Li Yulan said this, the yard suddenly became quiet.
Qin Fangci, who had come out with Doctor Su, was the first to react. She gently patted her daughter's arm and scolded her with a smile, "You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about! 'Yu' is your generation name, there's a generation difference, who would misunderstand?"
Yuan's heart skipped a beat, fearing that this unexpected name might offend someone or make her sister-in-law uncomfortable. She thought it was better to have harmony at home, so she hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a smile. "That's right, sister-in-law, don't think too much about it. The name Zelan was given by Doctor Su, so he must be very knowledgeable. It must be the name of a medicinal herb, right?"
Doctor Su stroked his beard and chuckled, "Yes, Ze Lan grass is a medicinal herb that grows mostly in wetlands like swamps near water. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. 'Yulan' is elegant, and 'Ze Lan' is tough; both are good names."
Li Zelan was originally overjoyed, but upon hearing her aunt's words, she looked up, confused, and looked at her aunt, then at her master. It seemed as if she had just realized that her name and her aunt's were only one character apart. She called out softly, tentatively, "Aunt Yulan?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, especially her niece's somewhat uneasy eyes, Li Yulan's subtle awkwardness immediately dissipated. She burst out laughing and stepped forward to pinch Li Zelan's cheek. "Hey! Niece Zelan! Okay, okay, auntie was just kidding! This name is so nice, it's even more learned than auntie's! From now on, our Li family will have two 'Lan's', which is a good thing. Your name has some other benefits, so you must remember them well. With a big name, you are an adult. From now on, our San Ya... no, Zelan, will be Doctor Su's official apprentice. We have a doctor in our family too!"
After saying this, the atmosphere immediately became lively again.
Daya and Erya looked at each other, with a hint of envy in their eyes. Daya gently touched her sister's head and said, "Li Zelan, you sound so good."
Erya pinched Sanya's rosy little face and said jokingly, "Our Sanya has made great progress!"
Si Ya was still little, and she tugged at the corner of San Ya's clothes, asking in a baby voice, "Third sister, what is your full name?"
The words were barely out of his mouth when he was silenced by the noisy Dadaner and Erdaner, "Grandma! Mom! We want it too! Third sister and aunt can't be the only ones who have 'Lan'!"
Seeing this, Si Ya immediately imitated her brothers, "We want Lan! We want Lan!"
Qin Fangci was getting a headache from the noise. She felt both amused and angry. "Are you two boys sure you want to name them Lan?"
The two of them were suddenly silent. Erdan'er rolled his eyes and shouted, "Grandma, we want a great name too!"
Dadan immediately joined in the fun, "Yes! We want one too! Third sister can't be the only one with a famous name. We're going to school too, and we need to have a famous name."
Everyone laughed.
Qin Fangci patted both heads and said, "Okay, okay, I have everything. When your uncle comes back, I'll ask him to look through the books and give you all names."
The children cheered, "Oh, oh, we have a big name now, we will have a big name too."
"Mom, when will my uncle come back?" Dadan ran to find Yuan, who smiled and slapped him. "Your uncle is busy."
Erdaner became smart again. He rushed straight to Xichuan, pulled Xichuan and begged Xichuan to tell Li Baisong to think of a name in advance in the county town and come back early after thinking of a name.
Everyone laughed out loud at Erdan's cleverness.
Doctor Su smiled and shook his head: "It seems that this old man is just throwing out a brick to attract jade. When Brother Li comes back, this important matter of naming cannot be postponed."
Qin Fangci laughed and said, "Dr. Su, you are such a laughing stock. The meal is ready, please take your seats or the food will get cold."
The brothers Li Lao Da, Li Lao Er and Li Lao San came back at this time. Lu Yang, Zheng Qiaozi and Zhang Xiaosi followed behind and heard about San Ya's apprenticeship and her new name.
Boss Li slapped his thigh with joy and said happily, "Hahaha, she is worthy of being my daughter! She is amazing."
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I'll be happy to have a couple of drinks with Doctor Su later." Qin Fangci said.
"Don't worry, Mom." Boss Li patted his chest and promised.
Li Laoer was about to speak when Yuan blocked his mouth with a bun. But she just wanted to shut up. She didn't want to be a widow yet.
I told him that it was important to rest at home, but he refused to listen and went to the workshop despite his injury, fearing that his elder brother would not supervise him well.
Li Laoer glared. This bitch was spoiled by her and was becoming more and more daring. Even so many people dared to shut him up.
The aroma of food wafted through the farmyard. Two square tables were packed with people, and in the center sat a pot of fragrant braised pork. Daya, taking her grandmother's hint, had specially prepared it at the Wang family's kitchen, specifically for the apprenticeship banquet.
Doctor Su was asked to sit in the seat of honor, and Li Zelan sat down next to her master, her small body standing straight, as if she had really grown up from the moment she became famous.
Qin Fangci picked up a large piece of braised pork and placed it in Doctor Su's bowl. "Doctor Su, please don't be offended by the simple farm food."
"No way, this food smells delicious." Doctor Su smiled and picked up the braised pork and put it into his mouth. It was fatty but not greasy, and very delicious.
