Soon, seven or eight hands were raised in the long queue.
Tian Xiaohua laughed, "Look, Sanya and Erniang are the most common names in the village. If we register them by these names, who can tell who is who?"
Lu Yan understood, so she asked the woman and the little girl in front of her, "What's your surname? I'd like to give you a new name, would you like it?"
The woman hesitated, "Why do we need to name it? We're used to calling it Sanya Sanya."
"No, we need a new name." Lu Yan was adamant. "What's the surname?"
The little girl said timidly, "My surname is Wang."
Lu Yan was pondering what name to choose when she tapped her pen. At that moment, the female physician in the embroidered building said, "Why don't we name it after the herbs?"
Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and she asked Sanya, "Are you willing?"
Sanya nodded.
The female doctor took out a small bamboo plaque and wrote three characters on it, "Then let's call her Wang Qingdai."
The lady behind her smiled and said, "Qingdai, Qingdai, what a lovely name."
Sanya's mother smiled and took the small bamboo tag with her name on it and gave it to her daughter. "Okay, then let's call her Qingdai."
Sanya quietly recited her name, carefully put away the bamboo tag with her name on it, and followed the guide into the school.
Even Li Zhen brought Daya along. She was a little embarrassed. "Daya is too old to enroll. I know this is against the rules, but I would like to ask Miss Lu to be accommodating. I am willing to pay for her admission to the academy."
Lu Yan smiled happily, "What's so difficult about that? It's never too late to start studying. I'll register her right away. It's just that I'm afraid we'll have to choose a new name for her, Daya."
Li Zhen had heard about the re-registration office's decision to change names and approved of it. "It's time to get a new name. I've been studying with my stepmother for a few months and I really like the character 'Ning,' but I don't know what to call myself. It would be best if it had three characters."
Jing Shu pondered for a moment, "Then how about Wang Yining? 'Jiji Duoshi' and 'Wen Wang Yining' mean peace and tranquility."
"Okay, that's the name." Li Zhen said happily, "Da Ya, you have to remember your name. From now on, you'll be called Wang Yining."
Having a new name signifies being a freshman, and many girls get to know each other in the dormitory, introducing themselves by name.
"My name is Zhao Yujin. I heard it's the name of a flower. I like my new name."
The other girls also showed off, saying, "My name is Ye Zhelan, and I'm from Tanshui Village. I'll never call myself Fourth Sister again."
"I am Guo Fuling."
The seven-year-old girl fiddled with her fingers, looking aggrieved. "My name is Tan Ziwei. My name is so hard to write. I... I'll have to learn to write it for a very, very long time."
"Don't cry, don't cry. Didn't the teacher say that as long as you learn to write your own name within three days, it will be fine? Go ask the teacher more often, she will teach you."
Tan Ziwei was extremely aggrieved. She had spent the whole day learning the character "Tan" but still hadn't learned it. She finally managed to write the first character by copying the bamboo sign, but the next two characters were even more difficult, and she burst into tears on the spot.
