Chapter 151: Change of Name
The next morning, it was Monday again.
The children of Taohua Village all carried various school bags into the school and began to study.
Li Ergou was crying all the way as he was pulled forward by his mother.
Oh, this is not the Li Ergou who stole his nephew's books to sell and set fire to the village chief's house. It's the Li Ergou who had a fight with Gu Yuhe last time.
The villagers are not well educated and just randomly pick names, so there are many people with the same name in the village. Some grandfathers and grandsons even have the same name.
Seeing Gu Jiayue, Qian was like seeing a savior. She quickly pulled Li Ergou forward.
Gu Jiayue squatted down, level with Li Ergou. "What's wrong? Are you unwilling to study or have you suffered some injustice?"
When Li Ergou saw Gu Jiayue, he cried even harder.
Qian sighed. "It's all because of what happened yesterday. Didn't that Li Ergou from the east end of the village burn down the village chief's house yesterday? The village chief and the villagers searched all over the village, calling out Li Ergou's name. My child thought they were looking for him and got scared. So, ever since yesterday, he's been clamoring to change his name. He doesn't want to be called Li Ergou anymore!"
Li Ergou complained in a tearful voice, "My friends all laughed at me, saying people with that name were bad guys. They wouldn't play with me."
"I don't care, I just want to change my name!" He said as he was about to lie down on the ground.
"Change it, change it! Your father and I agree to change it." Qian felt embarrassed and anxious, and hurried to pull Li Ergou up.
But when Li Ergou heard this, he twisted his body even more violently on the ground. "Can the name you and Dad changed even be called a name? Li Dapao, Li Sanzhu. Are those names of people?"
Qian looked puzzled. "How can this not be a name? Doesn't everyone in the village call him that? You even have an uncle named Qian Jiaopi, and he never cried."
Li Ergou stopped twisting his body after hearing this, but he still said firmly, "Anyway, I'm not going to be called Li Dapao, Li Sanzhu, or Li Ergou anymore."
When my father named me Li Dapao, he said that he called me Li Dapao because he always poops a lot, and this name suits him very well.
He was called Li Sanzhu because he had just bought three piglets...
Listen, is this a good name? Why is he called Li Sanzhu when he caught three piglets?
Qian spread her hands and said, "Then I have no other choice. Your father and I can only come up with this name."
Li Ergou snorted. He knew he couldn't count on them.
He turned around and knelt in front of Gu Jiayue. "Master, can you help me choose a name? The name you give Goudan will be very nice." Zhang Chuyan sounded very cultured.
Qian's eyes sparkled as she slapped her thigh. "Hey, why didn't I think of that? Jiayue, you pick one for him. His father and I really can't come up with a good name."
ah?
She just ate a melon, why did she have to name it?
This suddenly made her think of something she couldn't think of at the moment.
Li Ergou looked at Gu Jiayue pitifully, "Master, I beg you, I really don't want to be called Li Ergou for a moment!" Li Ergou is a bad guy, he doesn't want to have the same name as him.
"Okay, okay, let me think about it." Seeing this, Gu Jiayue was afraid that she could not refuse. She could only agree.
After thinking for a while, she said, "How about calling me Li Siwen? I want to be a thoughtful scholar."
"Okay, okay, it does sound better than Li Dapao." Qian didn't actually understand the meaning of the name, nor did she know how to write these three characters, but as long as it was chosen by Gu Jiayue, it was good.
"Yeah yeah yeah, finally I don't have to call you Li Ergou anymore! Hahaha, my name is Li Siwen, Siwen Siwen." Li Ergou, no, Li Siwen stood up and started jumping.
Turning around, he saw his companion and quickly grabbed his arm. "Zhang Donkey Fen, from now on I'll be called Li Siwen. The teacher gave it to me personally."
Zhang Lufen, who was being dragged around in circles for no apparent reason, became even more depressed after hearing this.
In the past, everyone had a bad name and no one laughed at anyone else, but now that Li Ergou has a nice name, his own name sounds extremely harsh.
No, he has to change his name too!
He shook off Li Siwen's hand and walked to Gu Jiayue. He looked at her pleadingly. "Master, I also want to change my name. My name is too ugly."
Donkey dung, donkey dung, listen, you can smell it with every call.
Gu Jiayue smiled bitterly and patiently explained to Zhang Lufen, "Zhang Lufen, changing your name is a big deal. You need to discuss it with your parents."
She looked at the other children eager to try and felt overwhelmed. There were hundreds of children, wouldn't they all come to her for names?
She had read a few days of books, but she couldn't wholesale 500 meaningful names.
Zhang Lufen felt a little disappointed. "Okay, then I'll go back and discuss it with my parents."
"Okay, okay, go have breakfast quickly, class is about to start." After persuading the children to leave, Gu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have to come up with hundreds of names for the time being.
"Director Gu." Huo Junyu walked over with a woman.
This should be his sister.
Huo Qiushuang bowed and greeted Gu Jiayue. "Greetings, Mr. Gu. I, Huo Qiushuang, would like to thank you, Mr. Gu, for taking me in."
She is twenty-two years old and married the eldest son of the Qin family who runs a restaurant in Juzhou five years ago.
At the beginning of the year, the eldest brother had upset the daughter of the Zhang family again. The Qin family was afraid of being implicated, so they divorced her.
She did not resent her eldest brother for this. It was they who were unreasonable and abused their power, and the Huo family was the victim.
"No need to thank me, these are our employee rewards. Sister Qiu Shuang, just stay here and relax." Anyway, he didn't have anything else but a lot of land, so they could build the yard as they pleased.
Huo Qiushuang glanced at Huo Junyu, and after receiving a nod, she turned to Gu Jiayue. "It's like this, Principal Gu. I learned calligraphy from my brother for a few years back home. I heard you're still in need of a teacher who can teach girls calligraphy. I'd like to ask if I can give it a try."
Gu Jiayue didn't expect that there would be such a good thing?
She was originally worried about this.
Although the separation between men and women is not very important in the countryside, there is no reason for a man to stay with so many girls all day long.
So she always wanted to find one or two literate women to be her teachers.
But I just couldn't find it.
Now, one of them had actually fallen from the sky! "That's great, of course. Let's go and try out the class now. If there are no problems, we'll start right away. The treatment will be the same as your brother's!"
Huo Qiushuang's cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't expect Gu Jiayue to be so straightforward. She thought she was asking for something.
But I was still surprised when she said the treatment was the same. "Including the house?"
"Of course! If you pass the trial class, you can choose a place you like to build a house." I've said there's plenty of land, so there's no need to worry about everyone coming to build a house.
Huo Qiushuang was a little excited. "Then can I establish a daughter-in-law household?"
If a female household could be established, she wouldn't have to rely on her brother for support, and her sister-in-law, who has been living in fear, would be angry.
Huo Junyu, who was following beside him, looked unhappy. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you establishing a female household when I'm still here?"
Huo Qiushuang shrank her neck and didn't continue the topic, but she didn't stop planning in her heart.
No matter what, she will use all means to stay here, build a house that belongs to her alone, and set up a female household!
