Chapter 504 Wang Zhao
Wang Zhili coaxed the child for a while, and several elders of the Xia family also went home.
Everyone washed their hands and sat at the table to eat dinner.
Xia Sihua and Pan Wenjun, two newly-minted grandmas, said to Xia Zhizhi sourly, "You are finally back. My grandson still hasn't been named. Your father and I have thought of a few names, but your sister doesn't think any of them are good. She insisted on waiting for you to come back to discuss it together."
Xia Qingqing told Xia Zhizhi about this during the day.
Xia Zhizhi didn't think she was very good at naming, so she thought she should wait until the whole family came back in the evening before deciding. But when she saw Pan Wenjun mention this, she immediately threw the blame.
"Why don't my brother-in-law and sister discuss the name themselves? If they can't think of a suitable one, Mom and Dad, you can help them think of some. This is your first grandson. If you don't care about it, who will?"
Xia Qingqing disagreed with Xia Zhizhi's opinion: "Among the young people in our family, you have the best writing skills and a good sense of fashion. The name should follow the child for life, so you should give it to him. I believe in your vision."
Pan Wenjun and Zeng Zelan also spoke up: "Right, let our baby's aunt give him a nice name!"
Wang Zhili chimed in: "My academic performance is average, so I won't mix this in. If the child doesn't like the name I gave him when he grows up, that would be ugly."
Since everyone was saying this, Xia Zhizhi stopped refusing and asked Pan Wenjun, "Mom, did you and Dad come up with a name before?"
"We have drafted a few." Xia Sihua took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and handed it to Xia Zhizhi.
Xia Zhizhi took a look and thought that the couple would not name their child Cuiying Shufen. The few characters they could think of had good meanings.
Xia Zhizhi thought about it, pointed at the character Zhao and suggested: "Let's just give it the character Zhao."
"Zhao." Zeng Zelan said with a smile: "It's still our Zhizhi who will come up with it. The fragrance and the moisture are mixed together, but the brightness is still there. So let's call her Zhaozhao. It's a good name for girls!"
Xia Zhizhi said: "I am thinking of the holy land and rivers being solid, and the royal decrees being as bright as the sun and the moon."
"This is a good implication. I only wish that China will be stable and peaceful." Xia Sihua paused for a moment: "The future will be bright and promising."
"Zhao Zhao!" Xia Qingqing put her face close to her daughter: "Our baby has a name, it's Wang Zhao~ Zhao Zhao, are you happy~" [Adopt]
Not long after little Wang Zhao finished drinking milk, he was in a good mood and was blowing bubbles seriously. When his mother touched him, he immediately opened his mouth, showing a shameless smile and shouting "ah" from time to time.
Xia Zhizhi actually doesn't like children that much, but when she thinks that this child has the same blood as her, she still thinks the child is cute when the child doesn't cry.
She took out a solid gold lock and two small gold bracelets from her pocket and put them on her niece: "We Zhao Zhao don't care about that. All we want is for her to grow up safely, healthily and happily~"
Wang Zhao swung her arms happily, and the bells on her bracelets jingled, making her laugh even more happily.
After the family finished their meal, Xia Zhizhi told her family a story about her own year.
The family sighed with emotion, and Zeng Zelan asked Xia Zhizhi: "After the Chinese New Year, our Zhizhi will be 20 years old. She is a big girl. Will she go out next year?"
Of course you have to go.
Xia Zhizhi hugged Zeng Zelan and said, "My dream is to travel all over the country and see all kinds of people. I often think that I am lucky to have such good grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. With your support, I dare not worry about the consequences and travel freely."
Then, Xia Zhizhi went to stick to her own mother again: "I know you love me the most, I can do whatever I want without any worries. If I have enough fun outside, you can definitely arrange my future work and life for me when I come back!"
Seeing Xia Zhizhi say this, Zeng Zelan stopped trying to persuade her, and Pan Wenjun followed suit, saying, "Our Zhizhi is still young. She will not be twenty until the second half of next year. Let her have some fun for a few more years. Otherwise, if she really starts working in the future, she won't be able to spare the time to go anywhere she wants.
Look at his brothers and sisters. They have to report to the police when they want to take leave. They can’t even stay at home for a few more days during the Chinese New Year.”
There is an older sister who got married at 28 and is on top, and Xia Zhizhi is only 20, which is really not that old.
Xia Zhizhi changed the subject again: "I heard that my second brother has also found a partner. Will he bring her home this year?"
Pan Wenjun said: "Last time she wrote to me she was unsure and that maybe the timing was not right this year."
Zeng Zelan said: "Push him, let him be smarter and braver like us, Zhuo Yue."
The third brother was singled out for praise because he was very good at finding a partner.
Because Chinese New Year is just two days away and Xia Zhizhi returned late this year, she decided not to go to Zhonglanhai to show her presence and planned to go there to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve.
She and Aju went out early and came back late, and used the excuse of asking their friends for help to prepare a lot of New Year's goods for the family.
Dried fruit snacks are essential, as well as some fruits that can be stored for a long time.
You can buy fruit, but the storage technology is limited these days, and the fruit is not as delicious as what Xia Zhizhi brings back.
In addition, Xia Zhizhi also prepared New Year gifts for everyone.
The clothes had already been bought last year. If Xia Zhizhi insisted on bringing them home, no one would say anything. But given the Xia family's lifestyle, people would definitely think it was a bit too extravagant and would feel bad for her.
So this year she prepared scarves for everyone.
There is one for each person, young or old, according to age and gender. There are cashmere, knitted, and all kinds of styles. They ensure that each one is different, which is very thoughtful.
On the 29th, the family received a telegram from my second brother, saying that he was bringing his girlfriend home to celebrate the New Year, but time was tight and they would probably come back by plane.
My family didn't know what was going on with him, but we were happy to have him back.
My uncle and his family won't be coming back this year, so there won't be that many people. We can just arrange for the two children to stay in Gongzhan Hutong as usual.
The house is usually cleaned, so there is nothing special to clean.
Pan Wenjun went to Xia Zhizhi and said, "The department store will be closed tomorrow afternoon. Would you mind going to the department store to pick out a suitable outfit for your future second sister-in-law? This is your third sister-in-law's first time here, so we have prepared some clothes for her. If your second sister-in-law doesn't have any, it won't be suitable."
Xia Zhizhi nodded repeatedly: "Mom, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely not let any conflicts arise between you and your mother-in-law."
Pan Wenjun slapped her in annoyance: "Look at your mouth, what kind of things do you say all day long!"
Xia Zhizhi covered her mouth and ran into the house: "Your new daughter-in-law has come home, and you don't love me anymore."
Seeing her acting strangely despite her age, Zeng Zelan didn't mind and chased after her to coax her: "Grandma loves us dear, and grandma loves our Zhizhi the most!"
