Genfa carried his little daughter to the place where the household registration was done. The person who registered the household registration was the same person who had named Qiuhua, but that person definitely did not know Genfa.
"What's little Maomao's name?" The man was very happy looking at the little Maomao in Genfa's arms. The little guy was sleeping so soundly!
Genfa was confused again when he heard the name. It was exactly the same as Qiuhua's. Besides, he had been in such a hurry to come out this time that he hadn't thought of anything yet. What should he call himself? Genfa muttered to himself.
"What's your name?"
The man asked again, with a hint of urging. Genfa became anxious when he was urged, and blurted out:
"Sister, call me Sister Liang!"
The man looked at Genfa, frowned, and said, "Sister Liang? That's too casual!"
Genfa hesitated and couldn't come up with a better name. He froze in his tracks for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of something and said with a smile, "Why don't you give her a name? You gave my last daughter a name too."
"I?"
The man adjusted his glasses and suddenly realized, "It's you! Hahaha, that's right, I married her and have another daughter." He frowned again and thought hard, "What did I name her?"
"Qiuhua, Liang Qiuhua, very nice!"
"Qiuhua, um..."
He looked at the little girl in Genfa's hand again. She seemed to know that someone was watching her. Her eyelids moved, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she fell asleep again.
"Then call me Chunhua, Liang Chunhua!"
"Chunhua, Chunhua, Qiuhua and Chunhua! Great, great!" Liang Genfa was very satisfied with the name, and a smile appeared on his face with joy.
The little furry head in my arm suddenly grinned in her sleep. It seems that this is a smart little mermaid, and the dream goddess is teaching her to read!
After completing the household registration, Genfa breathed a sigh of relief. One thing was settled and he felt relieved. Now that the child had a name and was registered, he had already taken root and the mistress of the house would not have any more trouble.
He walked quickly and lightly on the way back, and little Chunhua slept more soundly as she swayed gently in his arms.
When we got home, Qiuhua and the others had already eaten. As soon as we stepped through the door, little Chunhua seemed to sense something and started crying loudly. Her little mouth was wide open, and her pink tongue was trembling in fear.
Genfa paced around the room, shaking his arms gently, patting Chunhua with one hand, and repeating "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry", but the little Maomao in his arms cried even harder, and his little face turned red.
Seeing Chunhua crying so hard that she almost fainted, he became more and more anxious. The weather was so cold that a burning sensation appeared in his heart and beads of sweat appeared on his back.
"Give it to me."
Qiu Zhen came out of the room. She must have just combed her hair, as her short hair that reached her ears looked very neat. After she finished her meal and brought out the bowl, she heard Chunhua crying loudly. She put the bowl on the stove and hurriedly reached out to take the child.
Genfa was still frightened by what happened in the morning, and he put the child in her hands hesitantly.
As soon as she was in Qiu Zhen's arms, Chunhua could tell by the smell of milk. She cried even harder and looked for food everywhere with her little mouth. Qiu Zhen carried her into the room, and she stopped crying after a while.
At this moment, Genfa felt very hungry, so he quickly sat down and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. After thinking about it carefully, he felt a little worried, so he quietly walked to the door, pushed it open a crack and looked inside.
"Squeak—" There was still a sound. Qiu Zhen glanced outside, then immediately looked down at Chunhua in her hands and said, "Enjoy your meal."
Now he was completely relieved. It seemed that the housewife should be refreshed this time and would not think of anything wrong. He looked at the bone soup in one bowl and the steamed egg in the other bowl, and his mouth was watering. He picked up the bowl and took a big sip. After a little bit of oily soup went down his throat, he felt relaxed. He poured the remaining steamed egg into the white rice, stirred it a few times with chopsticks, and took a big sip. The delicious steamed egg accompanied by the fragrant rice was fresh and fragrant, so delicious!
In the afternoon, Zhao Meiying went back. Qiuhua washed the dishes and diapers, and finally sat down after everything was cleaned up.
The voices of Dad and Mom talking could be heard from the room. Perhaps because they were afraid of waking Chunhua up, they spoke in low voices.
"Has the household registration been completed?"
"It's ready."
"What was the name?"
"Chunhua, Liang Chunhua."
Qiu Zhen looked at Chunhua who was sleeping soundly and felt guilty.
"It's a good name, Qiuhua Chunhua, very good."
Genfa smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't come up with the name. It was the person who registered the household registration, the one who named Qiuhua."
"Well... relax. Things will get better. The second kid has been doing much better these past couple of days. He even went to cut grass for the pigs this morning. I'll talk to him later and make sure he goes to the team to work and earn work points."
"Alas, life nowadays is not as good as in Shanghai, but fortunately the place is big and you don't have to drag yourself up to the attic. Life will be easier if you think positively." Genfa said so much, but still felt it was not enough. After thinking about it, he said it.
"Originally I wanted to wait until things were finalized before telling you. The team contacted me a few days ago. The county is planning to build a steel plant in Baer Mountain. They're looking for experienced blacksmiths who want to take apprentices. The salary they're offering won't be low."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen looked at him with sparkles of surprise in her eyes, like the twinkling stars in the clear night sky after the clouds have been swept away.
If a steel plant could really be built, Genfa, as a blacksmith, would definitely be able to go in and work, and the family's living conditions would also improve a lot. It would be even better if the second boy could be sensible.
Thinking about this, Qiu Zhen felt more and more at ease.
Then he remembered that Genfa had been late for the team for most of the day, so he hurriedly urged him to go.
"Hurry up and join the team. You can still be busy all afternoon."
Genfa said nothing, and made no move. Qiu Zhen knew what he meant.
"Don't worry, my mind is clear now."
"I know." Genfa looked at Chunhua who finally stood up, "Then I'll go."
Before leaving, she still told Qiuhua to visit her mother more often. Qiuhua naturally understood her meaning and would secretly peek in from time to time. Mom also slept very well this afternoon, sleeping for three hours until she was woken up by Chunhua.
After tidying up again, Qiuhua finally had time to sit down, but not to rest, but to start her own "career".
According to her plan, her "career" would begin with embroidery, selling the embroidery to buy chickens and ducklings, then doing more embroidery, and then buying more chickens and ducklings. Recalling her plan, she burst out laughing, finding it both amusing and fantastical. But then she realized this was the only "career" she could create.
She opened the embroidery frame. It was already halfway done. The green leaves of the peony were nearing completion, and the petals had a light base, waiting to be put on with the darker thread.
She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed as she looked at the half-finished peony. She had been too busy recently and hadn't had time to embroider at all. She hadn't finished anything for several days. A surge of anxiety made her feel uneasy.
Okay, we have to work the night shift tonight!
