The name Jiang Yun came up with can be described as old-fashioned.
Jiang Yonghua didn't mind. Pine and cypress are evergreen trees, and they are also one of the words used to describe a warrior's majesty and strength. He immediately agreed: "Okay, this is a great name. It sounds manly!"
When Chen Yuanwu arrived, he seemed to have no objection: "That's great, use it."
Jiang Yun saw Chen Yuanwu's reluctance and asked, "What do you mean?"
If it doesn't sound good, just say it directly. You are a talented person, so I definitely have no objection if you give me a name!
Chen Yuanwu didn't dare to say that the words "song" and "bai" were the characters he planned to use to name his future child - if his uncle and nephew were named with the same character, they would become brothers.
Anyway, there are so many Chinese characters, so he can think about it separately.
"Pine, bamboo and plum are the three friends of winter. Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are the four gentlemen among flowers. The name you gave your brother is very elegant!"
A subtle compliment, very considerate.
Jiang Jun's face lit up with joy: "Good explanation!"
The more she stayed with Chen Yuanwu, the more she realized that her Chinese foundation was so weak that it could easily fall through.
Jiang Yonghua also said: "It would be great if I could be born a few days later on New Year's Day!"
Jiang Bai was born on Christmas Eve.
They don't know the foreigners' beliefs, nor do they know that birthdays are something that can only be encountered by chance.
Zhao Meilan was a typical example of someone who followed her husband's lead: "Yeah, if only we had waited a few more days, it would have been fine. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone out and got a miscarriage."
It seemed like it was her fault that the baby didn't come out a few days later.
The nurse couldn't stand it any longer: "Your due date is already one day past your due date. I've never heard of choosing the time of birth!"
This old couple looks old enough to be grandparents, but they are still giving birth to an uncle. What they said is so naive!
Jiang Yonghua laughed: "Jiang Bai, good, now we have a name. Yuanwu, can you help me come up with a nickname?"
Giving yourself a nickname that sounds culturally promising is much better than being called Jiang Sanjiang Xiaosan or Jiang Laosan.
His father's expression of favoring boys over girls was too obvious, and Jiang Yun was jealous: "Just call me Jiang San'er!"
Other people's children, whether boys or girls, are all called this way.
Chen Yuanwu smiled secretly, knowing that he would have to coax his wife back home that night: "Let's nickname it Qingfeng, as the pine and cypress stand on the peak."
I also explained to everyone that this nickname was taken from a poem about the Li River in Guilin - the water is clearest when the boat reaches Xing'an, clusters of green mountains grow in the water, the tops of the green mountains are clearly visible, and the boat is sailing on the top of the green mountains - father and son watch over each other, no matter how high or far they go in the future, they will always be in their father's heart.
Jiang Yonghua was extremely excited: "Yuanwu, if you have time, please give me a pen name. I can now get at least two news releases accepted every month!"
Hard work pays off, and he finally gets paid for his royalties. When he goes to the post office with his household registration book and seal to collect his royalties, he feels so good!
The city also wants to second him to write holiday reports full-time.
Chen Yuanwu glanced at Jiang Yun and said to Jiang Yonghua with a smile, "I need to think about the pen name. It's going to be published in the newspaper, so I have to be careful."
The hair of the person next to him started to stand up. If he dared to say that again, he would kneel on the washboard when he got home.
Jiang Yonghua finally realized it: "Yuanwu, then I'll trouble you. I will send a telegram to Lingcheng later to tell my uncle and his family that it is Jiang Bai's birthday."
There was no way, this was tradition. The Jiang family finally had a boy among their descendants. Even without the ceremony of informing the ancestors, there had to be a celebration of informing all relatives and friends.
With the help of Luo Haixiang, Jiang Yonghua confirmed that Jiang Yonghui's parents, wife and daughter were the relatives he had been looking for. If Zhao Meilan had not been in labor and needed someone to take care of her, or if Jiang Jun had not said that the matter was too sensitive to be publicized, he would have run to Lingcheng to meet them long ago.
God has been very kind to Jiang Yonghua. He would laugh even in his dreams.
Just then, Xiao Qingfeng started crying.
The childish whimpering sounded like nature to Jiang Yonghua. He was only slightly flustered for a moment before calming down: "I peed. I need to change the film."
In just one day, Jiang Yonghua was able to distinguish sounds and determine what Xiao Maomao's crying meant.
Jiang Jun felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and the smile on his face became a little unnatural. He subconsciously took two steps back.
Chen Yuanwu watched Jiang Yonghua skillfully change the film and wrap the package for Xiao Qingfeng: "Dad, I asked the doctor, and he said it's okay to stay in for half a month."
The conditions in the military hospital are good. The wards are heated and there is hot water at any time for washing. The conditions are much better than Jiang Yonghua’s dormitory. The adults are comfortable and the children don’t suffer.
Jiang Yonghua had raised two daughters and experienced the discomfort of washing film in the freezing cold of winter. He was grateful and wanted to strengthen the relationship between the siblings: "Xiaojun, can you hold me for a minute?"
The eldest daughter is sensible and helps her younger brother both financially and physically. The relationship between the two siblings is good, and Zhao Meilan and Jiang Bai have an extra supporter. When Xiaolan is discharged and returns home in two years, she won't have to be so cold and mean to her new mother and younger brother.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jun retreated to the door, almost opening it and running out, and made a ridiculous excuse: "The nurse said I can't hold her!"
Chen Yuanwu smiled and stopped him: "Dad, Xiaojun has been very busy these days and hasn't had a good rest. She caught a cold and she's afraid it will spread to Qingfeng."
Jiang Jun continued casually, "Yes, Dad, I'm going back with Yuanwu. I'll come to see you another day. Aunt Zhao, you should have a good rest."
The tone was dry.
Chen Yuanwu followed suit and said goodbye.
Jiang Yonghua didn't suspect anything. He put Xiao Qingfeng down and walked them to the corridor. "Be careful on the road. If you're busy with work, go ahead and do your thing. I've taken three days off. Don't worry if it's all up. There are nurses here during the day anyway. We have enough clothes prepared for the film. I can still make it in time after work."
In fact, Chen Yuanwu wanted Zhao Meilan to live in their home after she was discharged from the hospital. Their home had heating and was close to the hospital. The best thing would be for Jiang Jun to slowly accept the baby.
This was the conclusion he came up with after observing for a long time - Jiang Jun disliked any child under the age of ten, regardless of gender.
If he was his own brother, Jiang Jun wouldn't refuse out of consideration for their friendship, right?
But this matter needs to be brought up by Jiang Yonghua.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanwu hinted to Jiang Yonghua: "Dad, as long as we can help, just tell us. If you are really too busy, Xiaojun will find a way to take leave and come to take care of you. Don't be polite with us!"
Jiang Yonghua, who didn't like to bother others, really didn't understand: "I can handle it, I can handle it. Xiaojun's aunt is in good health."
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Jun shook Chen Yuanwu's hand vigorously: "I'm extremely busy at work now, attending meetings and writing materials every day. Why are you making decisions for me?"
Chen Yuanwu laughed: "This is your biological brother, so your dad can only rely on you, right? You also said that you would help Xiao Qingfeng get his household registration and schooling."
Jiang Jun was annoyed: "You don't need to remind me!"
I stayed in the maternity ward for less than an hour. I watched little Qingfeng pee twice and eat once. He looked boneless, like a kitten. And he still had to go to school? I don’t know when it will end!
