Chapter 402: Celebrating the Fifth Day of the Lunar New Year and Welcoming the God of Wealth
therefore.
Thanks to Grandma Qin's skillful decision-making, the "war" that was originally on the verge of collapse disappeared into thin air.
Not only did the crowd not quarrel, but they became quiet instead.
They all buried their heads in books, flipping through them non-stop, determined to come up with the best-sounding name to annoy Grandpa Qin!
So...that's why An Yi Rulai happened to see this scene when he came to pay New Year's greetings.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
There is only one person...who is angry!
Naming the triplets is Grandpa Qin’s “special privilege”.
It originally belonged to him alone, but now it has become a group of people, and anyone can participate. This is not a robbing of his rights.
There were almost sparks in Grandpa Qin's eyes.
Grandma Qin knew this very well.
But she was neither impatient nor anxious, and she spoke quietly to Grandpa Qin.
"Hide the names they choose later and don't tell Aning, then nothing will happen."
"Humph! I won't use that method! I don't believe that these rough guys can be better than me!"
Grandpa Qin has been an upright person all his life, so he would not resort to such means.
If you want to compare, do it openly and honestly.
He won't lose!
Grandpa Qin immediately lowered his head, and his hands, flipping through the dictionary, moved even faster.
Grandma Qin had anticipated this.
She listened to the sound of flipping books around her and drank her tea slowly.
This kind of quietness has never happened in the past few decades. It's really rare.
that's all.
This silence lasted for a long, long time...
Occasionally, some people would talk, asking, "How about these two words?" or "How about this one..."
Until Grandpa Qin suddenly saw a line of poetry.
"The fish swim in the blue waves, and the phoenix rests on the sycamore tree."
He looked at the line of words and read them out loud involuntarily.
Especially...that last word.
——Tong.
A trace of sadness flashed across Grandpa Qin's face, and the fluctuation in his eyes took a long time to disappear.
It's not just Grandpa Qin.
Even the other old comrades present showed the same sad expression as Grandpa Qin when they heard this poem.
In their hearts, they all miss someone.
His name is Tong.
——Lin Tong.
He is everyone's old comrade.
He is also Lin Shijiao's real grandfather.
These people once endured the most difficult years of war together. Some are still alive, but some are no longer here.
Those names are deeply hidden in everyone's heart and will never be forgotten in this lifetime.
Especially Lin Tong...
When Lin Tong first joined the army, he had a gentle air and looked like a scholar.
Fighting is all about testing ruthlessness and strength, and a skinny scholar looks like a wimp no matter how you look at him.
So at the beginning, the troops looked down on this airborne officer.
However.
But after just one battle, everyone's opinion changed.
This scholar with a gentlemanly air can rush to the front with a grenade, or he can hold a sniper rifle and kill the enemy with one shot.
His strength is far beyond anyone's imagination.
The most important thing is that even though he was looked down upon by his comrades at the beginning, Lin Tong did not have any complaints afterwards and shared the hardships and sufferings with his comrades. ~
At that time, the soldiers in the army had a low level of education.
Many of you here were fighting in wars and learning literacy at the same time during those years, and you could not hold a pen steadily.
But Lin Tong got along well with the illiterate soldiers, helped them write letters home, and helped the soldiers learn their own names.
In order not to burden the troops, he even left his newborn child in the care of a farmer.
Sacrifice your own family for the sake of everyone.
Such a hero fell before dawn...
Just a little bit!
It has become a source of regret and remorse in the hearts of many people.
The name Lin Tong is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
So when Grandpa Qin recited this poem, everyone thought of that person.
Memories and sadness flooded into my heart.
In the room.
There was a sudden silence.
It was a long time before I remembered to sigh.
"If Old Lin were still alive, he would have many children and grandchildren by now..."
Immediately following.
Another series of silences.
There is a heavy stone in everyone's heart that can never be moved in this lifetime.
It was at this time.
With a snap!
Grandpa Qin suddenly slammed the dictionary shut.
He spoke to the crowd in a voice as loud as a bell.
"Even though Lao Lin is gone, he still has many children and grandchildren. He still has Jiaojiao! My Jiaojiao is such a good girl. Now she is a nurse in the hospital."
As soon as Lin Shijiao was mentioned, the sad atmosphere in the room dissipated a little.
People spoke one after another.
"That's right, we still have Jiao! When Jiao gives birth to a child, if it's a boy, let him be named Lin!"
"That's right! The last name is Lin! If anyone is unwilling, I will be the first to disagree."
"By the way, how old is Jiao girl this year? Over 20?"
"She seems to be in her early twenties. When she was wishing me a happy new year just now, I saw that she has become a beautiful young lady."
"Old Qin, I will be in charge of your Jiaojiao's marriage. Those messy men are not worthy of Jiaojiao!"
"Jiao girl, you're already in your twenties? Do you have a boyfriend? My grandson is twenty-two this year and will graduate from college next year. Why not let them meet him?"
"No, no! Your grandson is no good. He looks like a nerd and is not worthy of Jiaojiao. He is not as good as mine... I have a grandson who is already a company commander in the army and he is also handsome. I will bring him with me next time."
"Who are you calling a nerd? I think your guy is a soldier!"
"What's wrong with being a soldier? Who among us sitting here wasn't a soldier when we were young?!"
As you and I chatted, the lively atmosphere was restored again.
Grandpa Qin sat in the main seat, and he instantly became very proud when he saw this group of old comrades who were almost about to fight.
"My little girl is my most beloved granddaughter, and her marriage cannot be sloppy. Those people in your family are either nerds or soldiers, no, no, I don't like them."
"Old Qin, what do you mean? Do you want to turn Jiao Ya into an old maid who won't get married?"
"Bah! How can my little girl Jiao be an old maid? You didn't see that the people chasing after her have to line up from here to the other end of the alley. Stop saying bad things about Jiaojiao..."
The old comrades, who had just calmed down and lived in harmony for a few minutes, started quarreling again.
This time, Grandma Qin just smiled and watched them interact with each other.
People say that the New Year should be celebrated with great excitement.
Isn't this
It was quite lively and we didn’t even have to set off firecrackers.
The days of Spring Festival passed by one by one in the blink of an eye.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day to welcome the God of Wealth.
