He would be disappointed if Baichuan readily agreed.
After Marshal Li finished speaking, he glanced at his sleeping great-grandson. The two children had gained a lot of weight in the past month and were clearly well-fed.
"By the way, Brother Guo and I have decided on the names for the two children. The eldest will be named Li Tengyuan, and the second will be named Li Chenxiao."
"Their nicknames were given by their maternal great-grandfather. The eldest son is called Chaochao, and the second son is called Hehe. Although his literary talent is not very good, I reluctantly agreed to it."
"Once you're out of confinement, you and Baichuan will go together to register your household registration." Marshal Li pulled a slip of paper from his pocket.
The child's name was written on it, and every word was written with great care.
Suti is very satisfied with her child's name. Each character is a good one on its own, and together they create a grand and impressive name.
"Okay, now Chaochao and Hehe have names." Suti felt that no matter what, it was better than loving and respecting the country.
When Li Baichuan returned home, Su Ti first shared the child's name with him. Li Baichuan looked at the words on the note and his first reaction was that the name was too profound.
"I think it's great." Li Baichuan felt that it should be like this, not easy to understand at a glance, and preferably with more words to make it seem cultured.
"Then it's settled. By the way, Grandpa came to talk to me for a while today." Suti looked at the person looking at the child with affection.
The matter was mentioned casually, and before anyone could react, the person quickly started making excuses.
“Baichuan, you are actually very scared. Today, Grandpa asked me how I knew about this, and I told him that I dreamed about it.”
"Grandpa and the others believe it, but outsiders certainly won't believe it so easily. Do you think they might have some doubts?"
"And I'm going back to work after my postpartum period, but that nasty woman is still at my workplace. What if she uses this to frame me?"
"I should have kept my mouth shut, but I dreamt about it, and with all that information, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Now it seems I acted impulsively."
Suti knew that if he tried to reason with Baichuan, Baichuan would definitely not agree.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, Grandpa and the others are here, no one will dare to say anything."
Li Baichuan's eyes also revealed worry when he heard this.
“I know, but I’m also afraid of causing trouble for Grandpa and the others. This matter is inherently difficult to explain clearly,” Suti continued to guide the conversation.
“Honey, don’t be afraid. If anyone asks, just say this is my idea. It may sound absurd, but nobody can tell what’s wrong with it.”
"Everyone dreams, it's just that we're a bit superstitious, and with all that information from your department, we didn't think too much about it at the time."
"Nobody wants that to happen. And do you remember? When we left Yangliu Brigade, they were building a bridge over there, weren't they?"
"We said it was because I was thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night. I was scared, so I impulsively did it."
"Nobody wanted this to happen, honey, don't be afraid, we've done a good thing."
"We can't do a good deed and then have to be investigated and criticized, can we?" Li Baichuan kept comforting his wife.
She's still in her postpartum period; she can't afford to worry about these things.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Su Ti smiled.
Li Baichuan decided to have a serious talk with his grandfather, making sure his wife wasn't involved.
After Suti fell asleep, I hurriedly went downstairs.
"Come and have dinner quickly." Marshal Li was just about to send someone up to call him.
The first thing he did upon returning home was rush upstairs to look for his wife and children; he couldn't rest easy until he saw them.
"Grandpa, I'll be home late from get off work, so please eat first and don't wait for me. Also, Grandma and Mom, my wife is hungry, so please prepare her first."
Li Baichuan saw that everyone was sitting and waiting for him, which was very disrespectful to the elderly and children. He always remembered what his wife had said.
"It's alright, we're not hungry yet. Let's all eat together and have a good time." The old marshal liked to sit down and eat with his family.
After the family finished eating, Li Baichuan told his grandfather about what he had just talked about with his wife.
"What?" Marshal Li was very surprised. He didn't expect that Bai Chuan would bring this up with him on his own initiative.
"Grandpa, my wife is still in her postpartum period, we can't let her worry about these things." Li Baichuan was unaware that his grandfather and the others had misunderstood.
He only knew the importance of postpartum care that his grandmother had mentioned, and nothing was more important than his wife's health.
"Baichuan, this was brought up by your wife, and the higher-ups already know about it." Marshal Li, Qi Feng, Guo Xuqing, and Grandma Guo all looked incredulous.
They had expected him to refuse, but they didn't expect him to accept so readily.
The old marshal looked at them with disappointment, feeling that Su Yatou's efforts had been wasted.
"Grandpa, I know, that's why I took the blame. My wife is timid." Li Baichuan recounted how his wife had been frightened.
After he finished speaking, the others realized something was wrong; it looked like Su Yatou was trying to coax them.
Seeing Li Baichuan's serious expression, the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was being sold out and was still happily counting the money.
Someone like him, if Su girl doesn't want to, he'll never be able to outmaneuver her in his entire life.
The group understood, but said nothing.
"Baichuan, you did the right thing. That's how it should be done." Qi Feng wanted to laugh as he looked at the person who didn't seem to understand the situation.
That's good too; in a couple, one person has to be smart and the other has to be honest.
"Grandpa, then I'll trouble you to explain this to those people outside who want to know." Li Baichuan knew that his grandfather's words were much more effective than his own explanation.
Marshal Li had no objections; the couple had already discussed it and agreed.
When Suti finally finished her postpartum confinement, the old marshal was preparing to hold a full-month celebration for the child.
The situation had just stabilized a while ago, so they didn't plan to hold a big celebration; they just invited a few old guys.
It's more about showing off, since twins aren't something you can have easily.
Another aspect is to go over the things that Su Yatou asked of us in front of these old guys and other people who need to know.
Telling them means that the higher-ups should know, and as for any praise or awards, that's up to them.
The old marshal knew that with him around, there would be no excessive exaggeration or impersonation of his achievements.
Unexpectedly, this incident had a huge impact, and all those involved received the rewards and praise they deserved.
The people suffering there spontaneously wrote a joint letter of thanks, expressing their gratitude to the leaders in Beijing for agreeing to help them repair the dam and minimizing the damage.
The leader, already basking in glory, extended an even greater honor to the Li family, who had taken the lead.
