Ever since Yan Mancang knew Xiang Nuan was pregnant, he had started thinking about naming his future grandson. He had previously written a letter with a few names for the couple to choose from. For boys, they could be Zhiqiang, Jinbu, Weiguo, Jianye, etc., and for girls, they could be Jinfeng, Lijuan, Fangfang, and various other names. Anyway, they were names that were very characteristic of this era.
Yan Fangming liked them all and asked Xiang Nuan to pick one. Xiang Nuan understood, but also felt that these names were too common and it would be easy to have the same name as someone else on the street.
After Yan Mancang found out, he looked up the dictionary for several days and came up with a few nice names that were not likely to have the same name as others. In the end, Xiang Nuan chose the names "Haoyang" and "Shuyan". At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that his father-in-law still had some artistic cells in him.
The full name was given by their father-in-law, so the nickname was decided by the couple. Xiang Nuan simply suggested calling her Yanyan, which was easy to remember and pleasant to the ear. Yan Fangming also agreed.
"Okay, it's fine to call me Yanyan." Wu Xiaoying smiled and teased the little granddaughter in her arms, "Little Yanyan? Grandma's little baby?"
"Aunt, I made some food for you, please eat first."
Yan Fangming walked into the house and called Wu Xiaoying to eat. She must be hungry since they came so early in the morning.
Wu Xiaoying turned around and said, "Okay, if you have something to do, just go and do it. I'm at home, don't worry."
"Okay, I'll go to the team first."
Yan Fangming came over and teased his daughter for a while before leaving. Ever since the little one was born, he couldn't get enough of her every day.
"My daughter, Dad is gone."
After he left, Wu Xiaoying smiled and said, "Fang Ming has become a different person since he became a father."
Xiang Nuan smiled, "That's right, he has become childish. If he didn't have to go to work, he would stick to his children every day. The children would be annoyed by him."
"This is also good. She knows how to love her children and she also knows how to love you. Isn't this what we women want our whole lives?"
Xiang Nuan didn't agree but didn't refute it. She just smiled and said, "Aunt, let's eat first, then take a nap and have a good rest."
Wu Xiaoying nodded, put the child down, washed her hands and ate. After eating, she did not go to rest, but started to pick up the things she had brought.
"I brought the eggs, brown sugar, red dates, and millet. This piece of cotton cloth was given by Li Zhiqing, who said it was for the children to make clothes. By the way, did you know that she and Ergang are dating?"
Xiang Nuan glared at him, then smiled and said, "I really don't know, how come they are still together?"
Wu Xiaoying smiled and said, "What's so strange about that? They are all young people who meet each other all day long in the village. They fell in love with each other after a while. The few female educated youths in the village who are old enough have been targeted. Ergang's mother is so happy."
The educated youth who were able to come to the countryside basically had a junior high school or high school education. The longest one of them had been there for more than two years. They didn't know when they would be able to return to the city. When they reached the age to get married, they naturally had to worry about marriage. Apart from the educated youth of the opposite sex who also went to the countryside, the only ones left were the young people in the village.
Of course, there are also many people in the village who like these educated youth from the city. In short, it is a two-way choice.
Xiang Nuan nodded, "Er Gang is a pretty good person."
"Of course not. Ergang is one of the best in our village. He is a good worker and can support his wife and children. A man with no ability and no future should not follow him."
"These are the little tiger shoes that Gu Zhiqing gave me. She said she made them herself."
Wu Xiaoying handed over a pair of lifelike tiger-head shoes, and Xiang Nuan liked them immediately. They were small and very cute, but they were still a little big for Yanyan now, and would be enough for winter.
"This is the brown sugar that Sun Zhiqing gave me. I have about a pound of it. I was complaining that there wasn't enough brown sugar at home. If you get hungry later, I'll make you a brown sugar poached egg."
Xiang Nuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
She has been here for almost two years and doesn't have many true friends. Xiang Nuan is really touched that these three friends from her hometown care about her so much.
