Chapter 1573
"No need, no need. You go ahead with your work," the others said seriously.
Zhu Shun Yao smiled helplessly, though his smile held more pride than anything else. "I actually come here every day. These children are busier than one another."
Xie Zhong spoke directly. "It is right for the children to be busy. It proves they are contributing to society. We old folks retired because we are old and lack energy."
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan heard Xie Zhong’s words, exchanged a smile, and said nothing.
After dinner, seeing the others off, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan helped Xie Zhong and Qi Qiaoer go visit Zhu Yanli, who was recovering from childbirth. They met the little monkey.
"This child looks good," Qi Qiaoer said, looking at the baby with a kind face.
"Old woman, bring the child out. Let me see," Xie Zhong called from the doorway.
"Grandma, take the little monkey to show Grandpa," someone said. Because she was in confinement, the room was called the blood room before the month was up. Except for her husband, other men should not enter casually. Zhu Shun Yao could enter because she did not care, but Xie Zhong could not.
"Okay, little monkey. Great-grandma will take you to ask Great-grandpa for a gift," Qi Qiaoer said happily, holding the baby as she went out.
Xie Zhong took the baby, looked at him, and said directly, "This child has a face of wealth. He looks good, picking only the wealthy traits. He will be successful in the future."
"Grandpa, why don't you give the little monkey a formal name?" Taishu Yuanxiang asked with a smile.
"Really let me name him?" Xie Zhong looked at Taishu Yuanxiang. This was a Taishu family child. Xie Zhong originally had no right to name him.
Taishu Yuanxiang nodded. "There are no elders in my family. I originally planned to find a scholar to name him after the full month. An’ni said Grandpa has research in this area, so we originally planned to ask Grandpa to help name him."
Xie Zhong did not refuse. He thought for a moment, then nodded. "This child will have a wealthy life and overflowing talent. But this way, he might become aloof. It is better to give him a single name, Chun. Use thickness to cover aloofness. Great wisdom looks like foolishness. What do you think?"
"Good. Let’s call her Chun. The personality of playing pig to eat tiger is best," Zhu Yanyi said directly from the side.
"Do not say it so directly," Yan Aohan said with a helpless smile. "This name still needs brother-in-law’s agreement."
Taishu Yuanxiang laughed after hearing this. "It is quite good. Let’s follow what Grandpa said. I think it is quite good. Playing pig to eat tiger, this personality is most suitable for surviving in today’s society."
"In that case, the little monkey’s formal name will be Taishu Chun," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "But won’t people give her a nickname called Taishun (too stupid) later?"
"You are the stupid one," Taishu Yuanxiang glared at his sister-in-law. "You are the aunt. Is it like you to insult your nephew?"
Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue. "It is really because Grandpa chose this name. Combined with your surname, separately they are fine, but once combined, it becomes like this."
"Second Sister, please stop messing around. Brother-in-law’s surname is there. Many names sound strange when connected," Zhu Zhibin joined in with interest. "For example, if you name him Yu, it becomes Taishushu (too ladylike). If you add Fei, it becomes Taishufei (too concubine). I feel it is almost becoming Taifei Tang (taffy). It sounds strange no matter how you listen. Now this Taishu Chun is already much better. It is not that the name is bad, mainly that brother-in-law’s surname is bad."
"Why not follow the mother’s surname?" Taishu Yuanxiang asked.
"Follow what mother’s surname?" Zhu Shun Yao scolded Taishu Yuanxiang. "You are my son-in-law. I married off my daughter, I did not take a live-in son-in-law. Besides, I still have Doumiao here. Why make your son take the mother’s surname? Taking the surname Taishu means he is the root of the Taishu family."
"Dad, actually I do not care about these things," Taishu Yuanxiang said slowly. "My direct relatives are gone anyway. The ones left are distant. So I said even being a live-in son-in-law is fine. As long as everyone is happy." If he had not met Zhu Yanli, he had not even planned to marry, let alone have a cute son like the little monkey.
"Do not mess around. If this spreads, do you still want face?" Xie Xinlian said directly.
Taishu Yuanxiang said helplessly, "But according to what Yanyi and Doumiao said, if the child takes a formal name, the surname and name are fine separately, but connected, it is easy to make people laugh."
"What is there to laugh at?" Xie Zhong said directly. "Treat it as training for the child."
Zhu Yanyi laughed loudly upon seeing this. "I found that brother-in-law is also so cute and silly. It is quite interesting."
"So, the boring one is me?" Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi, with more scrutiny in his eyes.
Zhu Yanyi was startled in her heart and hurriedly answered seriously. "No such thing. You are more interesting than brother-in-law."
"What is this all about? I found my two brothers-in-law love to be jealous very much," Zhu Zhibin sighed again.
Zhu Yanyi glared at Zhu Zhibin. "Doumiao, do not think that because you are back, you will not go back. After the banquet, you still belong to the barracks. I think letting your brother-in-law increase your difficulty by a few points is good."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhibin was startled and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Good sister, good brother-in-law. It is all my fault. Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please do not make people increase my difficulty again. That will cause death."
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Zhibin with a half-smile. "Did you not say I am henpecked? Well, since I am henpecked, I listen to your sister."
Zhu Zhibin paused, then hurriedly looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Second Sister, good Second Sister. I am just that troublesome bad egg. You are the heavenly good, earthly good little divine doctor. Please do not hold a grudge, okay?"
"What about your brother-in-law?" Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows at Zhu Zhibin, looking like she was asking who let him speak ill of her man.
Zhu Zhibin hurriedly said, "Who said being henpecked is bad? A henpecked man represents loving home. A man who loves home is a good man. This shows brother-in-law loves home and loves sister. I will learn from him in the future."
Zhu Yanyi rarely heard Zhu Zhibin say this. She looked him up and down, then said slowly, "So you are the real one with no backbone in your tongue."
Zhu Zhibin said directly, "As long as the training difficulty is not increased, whatever you say is fine."
Zhu Yanyi turned to look at Yan Aohan. "Is his training difficulty very hard?"
Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "It is not hard for us. But for him, it is indeed somewhat difficult. I just want him to pass the limit, then develop his limit adaptability."
"Then let it stay like this. Do not increase the difficulty. Of course, if she is not obedient, you can add a little appropriately," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
