Mother Zheng didn't want this to happen. This matter was originally proposed by her family. They wanted to be closer to the family, so how could she ask others to kowtow to her?
But Grandma Ye insisted that it was the custom.
Ye Jiaying tried hard to reduce her presence beside him.
In modern times, she only knelt when her parents died, and she never knelt to anyone at other times.
Although Mother Zheng was very nice to her, she was still a little reluctant to kneel.
It's not disrespectful, it's just that she feels a little uncomfortable.
In the end, Mother Zheng used her excellent speaking skills to make Grandma Ye compromise, and Ye Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief.
The final result is that you just need to bow and change your words when the auspicious time comes.
The Ye family did not publicize the matter of adopting a godparent, and only invited close family members and the village chief's family to be witnesses.
Aunt Ye was going back to her parents' home before the New Year to give holiday gifts. When she heard about this, she hurried back on New Year's Eve. Ye's father, brother and sister were all there.
Ye's mother only invited her uncle's family. Her aunt married and moved to another province. The distance was too far and she seldom came back, so she didn't specifically notify them.
Soon the auspicious time came and the village chief performed a guest etiquette.
Ye Jiaying didn’t know whether this was called etiquette, but in any case, he was a person who followed the process.
Being surrounded by a bunch of people and being recognized as a godparent, Ye Jiaying felt that it was a wonderful feeling.
She suddenly remembered the silly netizens she had seen online who were adopting godfathers. One netizen said that because he lacked the element of wood in his five elements, his parents forced him to adopt an old tree at the entrance of the village as his godfather. Every day when he went to school, he would say to the tree, "Godfather, I'm going to school."
Another netizen adopted a stone as his godmother. One day, there was thunder and his godmother was split in half.
I don’t know if they are serious or just talking nonsense. Anyway, thinking about this situation at this moment, Ye Jiaying almost burst out laughing.
"Jiaying is so happy to have a godfather and godmother, so he should change his tone and call them godfather first, then godmother. He should be filial to them in the future..."
When Ye Jiaying's face was twisted from trying to hold back her laughter, she heard the village chief talking beside her.
She quickly changed her distorted expression into a bright smile.
"Godfather, godmother..."
"Hey, come here, this is for you by your godmother."
Mother Zheng smiled gently and gave Ye Jiaying a box containing a set of golden bowls, chopsticks and spoons.
Originally, the custom was to give a set of silver, but Mother Zheng felt that silver was not as valuable as gold, so she ordered a set of gold.
Ye Jiaying held the heavy, glittering golden bowl set in her hands, feeling complicated.
She was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but her mother Zheng made up for it later.
Mother Zheng's love for her is really deep.
This set of golden bowls can be a family heirloom.
The Ye family also prepared gifts for Ye Jiaying's newly appointed godfather and godmother. After Zheng's mother and Deng's father gave Ye Jiaying the gifts, Ye Jiaying also gave Zheng's mother and Deng's father the clothes and shoes prepared by Ye's father and mother.
The godparenting process was over and everyone ate in a temporary shed.
After dinner, the others were talking in the living room. Zheng Anyao pulled Ye Jiaying to hide in the corner and asked her to call her sister.
In fact, Zheng Anyao is only less than five months older than Ye Jiaying.
Her birthday was in December of the previous year, and Ye Jiaying's was in May of the following year.
Ye Jiaying naturally didn't want to do that.
He's only half a year old, so peers can just call him by his name.
Seeing that Ye Jiaying was unwilling, she took out a beautifully packaged box from her pocket.
"Call me sister, this is yours."
Ye Jiaying shook her head.
Is she the kind of person who would bow down for a gift?
She has a whole set of golden bowls.
Moreover, all the jewelry that Zheng's mother had given her before were worth a lot of money.
Seeing that Ye Jiaying was not fooled at all, Zheng Anyao pouted and stuffed the gift box into Ye Jiaying's hands.
She is the youngest in the Zheng family, with older brothers and sisters above her. Now she finally has a younger sister, Ye Jiaying, but she is still unwilling to call her sister.
Ye Jiaying pulled Ye Jialan over and pointed at Zheng Anyao and said to her.
"Call me sister."
Ye Jialan was happily eating melon seeds, and was confused when she was pulled over.
But she was also obedient and called her sister as soon as she opened her mouth.
Zheng Anyao: ...
"We are all sisters anyway. Your sister's sister is also your sister."
Ye Jiaying tugged at Ye Jialan's braids and let her play with them by herself.
Zheng Anyao sighed. It was the same point, but it was still different.
But she didn't dwell on it for long. It was just a name. If she didn't call her that, would she no longer be her sister?
The truth will not disappear just because you don't admit it. Thinking of this, she became happy again.
Ye Jiaying was also an only child in her previous life. She was used to being alone and could not understand Zheng Anyao's feelings.
Seeing that Zheng Anyao was no longer worried, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If she called Zheng Anyao "sister", her roommates in the dormitory would definitely take advantage of her.
She is not a green tea girl, she always talks about her sister.
Problem.
The process of becoming a godparent was completed smoothly, and Mother Zheng happily listened to Ye Jiaying calling her godmother several times.
As it was getting dark, they had to go back to Jing City and then to Hai City.
"Sister-in-law, let Jiaying come to Hai City after the New Year to meet my mother. My mother has been thinking about her all the time. Let her play for a few days and come back together before school starts."
Before leaving, Mother Zheng said to Mother Ye.
"Okay, that's what I should do. I'll pack her things after the New Year." Mother Ye nodded.
Both parties have become godparents, and this is normal.
"Sister-in-law, don't bring anything. It's too much."
