Chapter 179 Give it a name

I don’t know how many people didn’t sleep well that day, but Mr. Zhang slept well.

Now he had nothing else to ask for, and he was in a very relaxed mood. Thinking that this was Xiaoya's first time in Jiangcheng, he played with her for several days before they headed back to Jinshi.

Before leaving, the duckling followed the Chief Inspector to pay tribute to his grandmother.

Tsu City.

The secretary was waiting outside the door. As soon as the person got out of the car, he asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the sir still healthy?"

"I'll be gone for several days, I..." The secretary couldn't finish the rest of his words.

Mr. Zhang's face looked rosy and shiny, and even his wrinkles seemed to be slightly stretched out.

It seems that... I gained a little weight.

There is fatigue, but more of it is excitement.

"Xunyuan, come and take a look!" Mr. Zhang called the secretary's name.

"What do you want me to see?"

"Look." Mr. Zhang grabbed Li Xiaoya's hand and led her out of the car.

"Yes, sir."

"No, you haven't." Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Let me introduce you again. This is my granddaughter."

The secretary understood and couldn't help but smile: "So this is the happy event you were talking about? You adopted Xiaoya as your granddaughter?"

"What do you mean by granddaughter?" Mr. Zhang stared at him, but there was a smile on his face. "She is my biological daughter! She is my biological daughter!"

"How come she just..." She got married? You can't lie to a child!

"You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either." Mr. Zhang paused, "She is Xi Nian's daughter."

The secretary seemed to be nailed there for a moment.

After a while.

Mr. Zhang said, "I won't stand here with you anymore. It's windy. Little Duck, come inside with Grandpa."

The secretary was startled, came back to his senses and grabbed Mr. Zhang's sleeve: "Really?"

Mr. Zhang said, "Pinch yourself."

The secretary actually pinched himself.

"It hurts." He murmured, "Really? Why? Why so suddenly? How did you find out? Tell me quickly!"

Mr. Zhang now acts as if he has just acquired a unique treasure and he can't help showing it off.

He pursed his lips and said, "Listen to me slowly..."

Before he could finish his words, the secretary said, "It's windy here."

After saying that, he bent down and carried Li Xiaoya into the house.

The secretary's full name is Wu Xunyuan. He also served in the army when he was young. He is younger than Mr. Zhang, so holding a child is no problem for him.

When walking, he walks very fast.

"Xunyuan, you..." Before Mr. Zhang could finish his words, his granddaughter was taken away by someone.

His lips trembled and he hurried after him, even forgetting to use his crutches. For a moment his legs and feet were very nimble.

The family doctor waiting at the door was stunned.

"...This is what happened." After entering and sitting down, Mr. Zhang roughly told Wu Xunyuan the whole story.

Wu Xunyuan has been with him for so long that he can be considered half a family member.

Although he has a dark face, he cries very loudly.

"What a great New Year's gift this is! There is no better gift than this..."

"yes."

"It's a pity that Xi Nian doesn't know..."

"Don't worry, I'll write a letter and burn it for him tonight."

As the two of them talked, they seemed about to hug each other and cry.

Li Xiaoya quickly handed the paper to Wu Xunyuan.

"Thank you, thank you." Wu Xunyuan took the paper but did not wipe his face. Instead, he murmured, "Good child, really good child... so good, but suffered so much. Thinking about the scenes in the show..."

Wu Xunyuan cried even louder.

Li Xiaoya sighed quietly.

Well, let them cry.

But the next day, she would get two more swollen-eyed people staring at her!

It was Sheng Yuxiao who spoke up again: "What do you think about the new name for the duckling?"

The two people opposite immediately stopped crying.

"A new name? Yes, it's time to have a new name!" When Mr. Zhang thought of Li Jiang, his eyes turned cold.

Now I don't have to worry about my surname not sounding nice, Sheng Yuxiao thought.

"Where's the dictionary? I have to look it up." Mr. Zhang could not hide his excitement.

"Shouldn't we also bring over the 300 Tang and Song poems?" Wu Xunyuan asked.

"You can also refer to the Book of Songs... In short, you have to give it a name with good meaning, beautiful characters, and pleasant sound. You have to decide it well, yes, it has to be decided before the banquet, otherwise it will be difficult to write the invitations..." Mr. Zhang said ramblingly.

Now I forgot to cry.

"I have a name." Li Xiaoya said softly.

Mr. Zhang smiled kindly and said, "Yes, our little duck has a name. But we can't just change the surname. Zhang Xiaoya doesn't sound right, right?"

"That's not the name. My mother gave me... 'Shengxi'."

Everyone was stunned.

"Which two words?" Qin Sui asked.

Li Xiaoya poured some water, dipped the water and slowly wrote on the table.

Mr. Zhang said: "The great square has no corners, the great thing is immature, the great sound is silent, the great image is invisible."

"It's a good name." Mr. Zhang sighed.

"Then why do I still call you duckling?"

"Because mom said that in some places, being too unique is not a good thing. People prefer you to be called an ordinary name. So I hide that name and just call myself Little Duck."

"The little duck is also very good. The duck always knows when the river water warms in spring. It seems that the little duck has brought spring." Mr. Zhang smiled from ear to ear. "Indeed, the little duck has brought spring to grandpa."

"But regarding the name change..." Mr. Zhang suddenly changed the subject, "We still need to discuss it with your grandfather. We can give him two names, one with the Zhang family name, and one with your mother's name."

"Why don't we just arrange a time to meet?"

Mr. Zhang has already thought about preparing a gift for the meeting.

"Then I have to go back to see grandpa. It's hard to explain over the phone."

"Okay." Although Mr. Zhang was a little reluctant, he still nodded.

They thought that after the duckling left, it would be a good time for the adults to prepare for the banquet.

Sheng Yuxiao sent Li Xiaoya back to Gui's house.

I haven't been back for a while, and it was very quiet when I walked in.

It was as if the atmosphere at the Zhang family was reversed.

"Where is grandpa?" Li Xiaoya immediately asked the servant.

The servant said, "The master has gone to see a friend."

"I said the same thing last time..."

"Yes, it took a long time."

Li Xiaoya frowned.

Sheng Yuxiao remembered the abnormal breathing sound on the phone when he spoke to the old man last time.

"Call and see." Sheng Yuxiao said.

Li Xiaoya nodded.

The call was answered quickly. Wei Xuanming asked on the other end: "What's the matter?"

The tone didn't sound unusual.

"I found my mom's boyfriend."

"Who?!" The tone of the other end suddenly changed, and the tone was cold and stern, "Are you with him now?"

"Grandpa, we can't be together anymore. Dad is dead."

“…”

Wei Xuanming's tone became depressed: "Is that so? That's so... It turns out that there are no clues. That's so."

Li Xiaoya roughly told the story.

Wei Xuanming on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. He didn't cry, and even his breath didn't change. After a while, he just said, "Okay, just take the Zhang family name. There's no need to meet, and I won't go to the banquet either."
