Chu Jingqiu didn't really care about her child's surname. In her opinion, a surname was just an identifier.
She would rather focus on creating a harmonious and happy family environment for her children rather than worrying too much about the issue of surnames.
She looked at Xiao Yihan and said softly, "Yihan, don't worry too much. The child's name is just a code name.
No matter what their surname is, they are our children. It’s a small matter. Let grandpa and grandpa discuss it!
I get a headache when it comes to naming, so I leave it to my grandfather and maternal grandfather to choose the names for my children."
When the two old men heard that the task of naming the child would be handed over to them, they began to look up the dictionary in the study. After several days of searching, they finally decided on five names.
Old Master Xiao said earnestly, "Old He, I'm considering giving the second son the surname He and the third son the surname Chu, with the character 'Rui' in their names. This way, they will both be distinct and reflect the blood relationship between our two families. What do you think?"
Mr. He pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Old Xiao, I really don't care too much about the child's last name.
I still want all my children to have the surname Xiao. When Xiaoqiu was born, Baichuan suggested that Xiaoqiu be given the surname He to repay me for raising her.
I refused at the time. The child should have the right surname according to traditional customs. There was no need to make any special arrangements.
For the sake of the children, I still suggest that all five children have the same surname, Xiao. This will make it neat and tidy, and will better reflect our family's unity and concerted efforts."
In the end, the two families unanimously decided to give all the children the surname Xiao: the eldest child Xiao Ruize, the second child Xiao Ruichen, the third child Xiao Ruijun, the fourth child Ruihao, and the fifth child Xiao Ruiyu.
As for the nickname, Xiao Yihan wanted Chu Jingqiu to come up with it. Chu Jingqiu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't come up with a nickname.
She glanced at Xiao Yihan next to her and teased him with a wicked smile: "Their dad is called Maomao, why not let them be called Damao, Ermao, Sanmao, Simao and Wumao!"
Xiao Yihan smiled and flicked her head. "Xiaoqiu, you're really good at making up stories. Looks like I should be the one to come up with the nicknames! I'm really afraid you'll give them some weird names."
Finally, Xiao Yihan named the four little boys Douding babies. The eldest was called Doudou, the second was called Dingding, the third was called Baobao, the fourth was called Beibei, and the fifth was called Kexin.
The five children behaved very well in the first half of the month, eating and sleeping quietly most of the time.
The occasional crying is only because they have peed or are hungry. The rest of the time the house is quiet, just like before they were born.
After half a month, the children gradually grew up, and their originally red skin became white and tender, just as delicate and cute as the little dolls in the New Year pictures.
They also spent more time playing during the day. Their big eyes, with black bean-like pupils, rolled back and forth.
The little arms and legs are also chubby, with sections like lotus roots.
Sometimes, they suck their little fingers, which looks so cute that people can't help but want to kiss them.
Especially Xiao Kexin, she looks like she was cast in the same mold as Chu Jingqiu, with big eyes and long eyelashes, and one look at her can melt your heart.
Xiao Yihan especially loves Xiao Kexin. As long as Xiao Kexin is awake, he will babble and imitate Xiao Kexin's behavior to tease her. As soon as Xiao Kexin sees Xiao Yihan, she grins at him.
Xiao Yihan's doting on Xiao Kexin has reached the point where he can't help himself, as if the appearance of this little life is just to satisfy all his fatherly love.
He kissed Xiao Kexin countless times a day, and as long as she was awake, he would hold her tightly in his arms.
Such pampering spoiled little Kexin. When she was only half a month old, she no longer wanted to lie in bed.
Whenever Xiao Kexin is awake, she must be held by someone. Once she is put down, she will immediately express her dissatisfaction with loud crying.
But once she was picked up again, she would immediately open her mouth and reveal that innocent smile. Such a rapid transformation made Chu Jingqiu speechless.
Chu Jingqiu looked at this scene, glanced at Xiao Yihan helplessly, and said teasingly: "Yihan, just continue to spoil her! Wait until you go to work, and see what you will do.
If you leave her at home, I won't spoil her. I plan to let her stay in bed for a few more months, and even if she cries, I won't hug her!"
After hearing what Chu Jingqiu said, Mr. He glared at her in dissatisfaction and retorted, "If you don't hold me, I will! When you were a child, you refused to lie down before you were a month old.
What's more, you sleep the wrong way. You sleep during the day and cry at night. No matter how much I shake you during the day, you can't wake up. But at night, you start crying as soon as you put you down. I have to hold you and walk back and forth and shake you to coax you to sleep.
You cried so loudly at that time that all the neighbors knew that we had a crybaby! The next day, as soon as I went out, the neighbors asked me, "Did Xiaoqiu cry again last night?"
Your grandmother was so anxious that she tried every possible method, even posting things everywhere: "Heaven is vast, earth is vast, there is a child in my family who cries at night. If a gentleman passing by recites this, he will sleep until dawn..."
How dare you talk about Xiao Kexin? I think you were not as obedient as Xiao Kexin when you were a child!"
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yihan lovingly, "Yihan, don't worry! If she doesn't want me to hug her, I will! I can't bear to let my little Kexin cry."
Xiao Yihan looked at Xiao Kexin in his arms, with a doting smile on his lips, "Xiao Kexin is so cute, I want to hug her as soon as I see her.
We only have this one precious daughter, so it's only natural that we pamper her. As for those brats, let them stay in bed for a few more months!"
