Chapter 72 Naming
There was constant laughter in the ward. The warm and sweet atmosphere was like the spring sun, flowing freely in every inch of the air. Everyone was chatting with each other, talking about everything under the sun and having a great time.
At this moment, Mother Lu seemed to suddenly remember something. She looked at Jiang Ruoxi expectantly and asked, "Xixi, have you and Tingxiao named the babies yet? The names will accompany the children throughout their lives, so you need to think carefully about it."
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head gently, a gentle smile on her lips, and responded softly, "Mom, we haven't thought about it yet. These days, I've been busy taking care of the children, and my mind is in a mess. I really don't have the energy to spare. Tingxiao and I thought about giving the babies a nickname first, which is easy to call them. As for the full names, I would like to ask Dad and the elders to come up with a few. They are experienced, and the names they come up with will definitely have more profound meanings. We will then choose the three best ones. What do you think?"
After listening to this, Mother Lu nodded continuously, her face full of approval, "This is a good idea. The elders can choose a formal name, and you can choose a nickname. It's very meaningful for the whole family to participate together." Lu Tingxiao also agreed, "Yes, Dad and his family are well-educated, so they will definitely choose a grand and nice name!"
At this time, Jiang's mother, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but express her opinion: "As for the nickname, it should be intimate and easy to remember. It is best if it can reflect the children's characteristics and our expectations for them!"
Jiang Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Then the name of Dabao will be Qianqian: it is taken from the Book of Changes, "A modest gentleman is humble and self-disciplined." "Qian" means modest, which means that the child is modest and polite, with noble character.
The second baby is named Yiyi: It comes from "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya Xiangbo" "The proud people are good, the hardworking people are careless. Heaven, heaven, look at those proud people, and pity these hardworking people." Although there is no "Yiyi" in the original sentence, "Yi" has the meaning of brightness and brightness, implying that the child is dazzling and full of hope.
The third treasure is called Jiaojiao: It comes from "The Book of Songs Chen Feng Yue Chu" "The moon rises brightly, and the people are beautiful", "Jiaojiao" means bright, symbolizing purity and beauty. It implies that the child has a pure heart, noble character and outstanding temperament. ”
Everyone praised the names as wonderful, thinking that these nicknames reflected the elders’ expectations for their future and were full of love, and they were very satisfied with the three names.
Mother Lu stood beside the crib with a loving face, leaning forward slightly, her eyes gently sweeping over the three babies one by one.
She gently took Dabao's hand, and said in a voice as gentle as the spring breeze: "Dabao, from now on you will be called Qianqian. May you be humble and polite, have noble character, and be broad-minded throughout your life!"
Then, she walked to Erbao and gently touched his little head, "Erbao, you will be Yiyi in the future. I hope you can shine like a star in life, be dazzling, full of hope, and always full of vigor and vitality!"
Finally, Mother Lu came to Sanbao's bedside, carefully picked her up, put her against her cheek, and whispered softly: "Our Sanbao will be called Jiaojiao from now on. May you be as bright and pure as the moonlight, have noble character and outstanding temperament, and be beautiful all the time! Do you like your name?"
Miraculously, the three little babies seemed to have really understood what was said. They waved their lotus-root-like little hands, babbled, and their little faces were rosy. Their excitement seemed to be responding to Mother Lu, expressing their love for the new name.
Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene and smiling at each other. He walked forward and gently put his arm around Jiang Ruoxi's shoulders: "When the children grow up a little, we will slowly tell them about the good wishes in their names."
At this time, Jiang's mother also came over with a smile, looked at the three babies, and joked: "Qianqian will be a little gentleman and take good care of his younger brothers and sisters; Yiyi will be full of energy and bring joy to the family; Jiaojiao will be a sweet little princess!"
The ward was filled with laughter. These three new names carried the heavy love and expectations of their elders and also opened up the children's hopeful journey of life. In the days to come, accompanied by the care and concern of their families, Qianqian, Yiyi and Jiaojiao will surely thrive in the embrace of love and shine with their own brilliance.
Mother Lu had a warm smile on her face. She held Mother Jiang's hand affectionately, and her tone was full of unquestionable strength: "Mother-in-law, we have to find some time to think about the names of the children. We can't leave this matter entirely to the men and let them make the decision."
Mother Jiang understood what he meant and nodded continuously, her eyes sparkling as she agreed, "Of course not. Although the official names are chosen from the three best ones given by everyone, we still have to feel involved, right? This is a lifelong event for the children."
"That's right! The baby is the apple of our families' eyes, so how can we let the men take all the credit for naming the baby. We two should also give careful advice for the baby, and maybe the name we came up with will be the one chosen in the end!" Mother Lu added excitedly.
"Who said it wasn't?" Jiang's mother responded with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the two of them couldn't wait to get together, put their heads close together, and started discussing in whispers. Sometimes they would recite some poems and allusions, sometimes they would argue in a low voice about the meaning of a certain word, and from time to time they would pick up a pen to write and draw on paper, completely immersed in the joy of naming their grandchildren.
Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi saw this scene from afar and smiled at each other, their eyes full of doting on the two mothers. Lu Tingxiao gently put his arm around Jiang Ruoxi's shoulders and said jokingly, "Looks like we can be lazy for a while. With our mom and mother-in-law here, we can definitely get the naming done properly!"
Jiang Ruoxi smiled softly and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the elders are experienced and must have considered everything. Let's wait and hear good news!"
As they were talking, there was a knock on the ward door, and then Father Lu and Father Jiang pushed the door open and walked into the ward.
When Lu Tingxiao saw Father Lu and Father Jiang coming in, he was surprised and asked, "Dad, why didn't you call me in advance when you came and let me pick you up?"
"Why do you want to pick up the phone? We know the way, so why do we need you to pick us up? Besides, you are all in the hospital, who should I call?" Father Lu retorted.
"Old Jiang, you guys came pretty quickly. Are you done with your work?" Mother Jiang asked
"I'm done, I'm done. Shuyao, where are the babies? Let me see them first!" Father Jiang said to Mother Jiang.
"Isn't he lying on the crib? He was playing there after eating just now! Lao Jiang, go and take a look. Sanbao looks a lot like our daughter!"
Hearing this, Father Jiang quickly walked to the crib and asked, "Shu Yao, which one is Sanbao?"
"The one wrapped in light yellow is Sanbao, the one wrapped in light green is Erbao, and the one wrapped in blue is Dabao!"
Father Jiang stood quietly beside the crib, staring for a long time at the third baby wrapped in a light yellow blanket.
The little guy's pink face, tightly closed eyes, and little fists waving from time to time all made him feel emotional, as if he saw Jiang Ruoxi's childhood appearance through this tiny body.
In an instant, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. The regret of missing Jiang Ruoxi's growth and the longing for his daughter over the years turned into full tenderness at this moment. He secretly swore in his heart that he must pour the love that was missing from Jiang Ruoxi onto Sanbao without reservation.
The movement of Father Jiang getting up and walking towards the crib attracted the attention of Father Lu. Father Lu, who had been sitting aside with a frown on his face, could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He quickly got up and walked quickly to the crib.
Three babies were lying quietly in front of them. They looked very similar, with rosy cheeks like ripe apples, making people want to reach out and touch them gently. Father Jiang and Father Lu looked at each other, and there was unconcealable joy in their eyes.
Father Lu sighed softly and said with emotion: "These three little darlings are really the treasures of our two families. Looking at them is like seeing the continuation of the family!"
Father Jiang nodded vigorously, his voice choking with sobs: "Yes, Lao Lu, looking at them reminds me of the days when Xixi was a child and I couldn't accompany her. It's such a pity. From now on, I will give all my love to these three children and never miss their growth again!"
As he was talking, Lu Tingxiao came over. Seeing the two fathers concentrating, he smiled and joked, "Dad, father-in-law, you two are so engrossed in watching, have you already thought of names for the three babies?"
Father Jiang and Father Lu finally came to their senses. Father Lu smiled and replied, "Your grandfather has come up with a few names. I'm still thinking about it, but it must be a loud and meaningful one. I'll list them on paper when the time comes and we can choose together!"
Father Jiang also agreed: "Yes, this name must be chosen carefully, it must carry our full blessings and expectations for the children!"
In the ward, the whole family gathered around the crib, talking to each other, and laughter echoed in every corner. The warm atmosphere is like the spring sunshine, tightly wrapping the three little lives, and their lives, in this deep love, quietly begin a hopeful prelude.
