Chapter 488 Full Moon, Entering the Clan
At this time, the yard was full of people. After Zhang An took his son out of the house, little Siqi became a little confused, and his big eyes were wide open. Straight.
Although the little guy has always looked like he is not afraid of strangers, he is still a child after all. He has never seen so many people and such a lively scene. It is still necessary for human cubs to step into society. Adapt to adapt.
However, no one noticed anything unusual about the first guy. They just thought he looked a little cute and cute.
After all, a normal child would pick up his nose and cry "Wow" when seeing so many people.
In comparison, everyone thinks that little Siqi is already very well-behaved.
“Oh, this Qi Wa’er from Zhang An’s family is very pretty. Look at these feet and hands. Only a half-year-old baby from other families might be this big. This Qi Wa’er will definitely be very promising in the future. . ”
When Su Ying returned home from the hospital, many people came to visit her.
But the only ones who entered the bedroom were the women and aunts from the village. Even if the men came, they would be received by Zhang An. At most, they would just sit outside, drink tea and brag.
Because there is a taboo in the village, when a woman is giving birth to a baby, adult men from other families are not allowed to enter the bedroom except for her own family.
So although many people have been to Zhang An's house, they haven't met Xiao Siqi yet.
Now that I see little Siqi’s chubby little hands and feet, I can’t help but exclaim.
In everyone's mouth, the word "barbarian" is not a bad word, but is used to praise people.
When used on adults, it means that the other person is very tall and majestic. When used on children, it means that the child will grow very healthy, strong and develop quickly.
Even those aunts who had seen little Siqi when he was born felt that they did not see clearly at that time.
Only Zhang An knows that the little guy has not grown much in the month since he was born.
It’s just that after entering the space last night, Xiao Siqi became more energetic and powerful than before.
“It seems that the sons of dragons and phoenixes are born, and the son of a mouse can dig holes. This is true. Zhang An himself is a tall man, and his seed is definitely not much different. In the future, we will talk about He must be a man who can handle big wild boars.”
At this time, Huang Ming’s father added that he still remembered Zhang An’s single-handedly throwing big wild boars before he got married. After all, he was rescued. But how could his son forget so easily.
When the people around him heard this, they all thought it made sense. After all, Zhang An was tall and big, so there seemed to be no problem if his son was born taller.
It would be really strange if Xiao Siqi was born thin and small, and Zhang An's family life has always been very good, and there is no lack of nutrition.
It’s just that they ignored that when Zhang An was born, his weight was only half of that of little Siqi. Not only was he not strong, but he was also very weak. Being able to survive was a blessing from God.
As soon as Huang Dabiao said these words, Mistress Huang next to her raised her eyes and stared at him fiercely.
If it weren’t for the fact that today was the full moon day of Xiao Siqi, he would probably have been lectured by the old lady.
Because in the eyes of the older generation, everyone wants to be safe when going into the mountains. It would be dangerous if they encounter ferocious beasts such as green wolves and wild boars.
So Huang Dabiao’s words are quite unlucky in the eyes of the older generation.
Especially Second Grandma Huang herself has always been very concerned about this matter. After all, Huang Ming almost had an accident in front of the big wild boar.
Fortunately, Huang Dabiao is known as a loudmouth in the village. Everyone knows that he has always been such an outspoken person.
If it were in other villages, people who didn't know better would have thought he was here to curse people.
“Okay, okay, everyone, hurry up, otherwise we won’t be able to cook well here.”
The kitchen has almost prepared everything, and now they are waiting for everyone to choose, wash, and cut the vegetables before they start cooking.
The family, which was busy at first, saw Zhang An carrying little Siqi out, and everyone put aside what they were doing and gathered around to join in the fun.
At this time, after Zhou Yang shouted, everyone went back to busy with what they were doing.
It’s just that the yard is a little bigger and there are so many people, so the lively atmosphere has not diminished at all.
Just at this time, Zhang An heard a burst of crying. He looked over and found that the eldest young master of the Ding family was starting to toss.
Zhang An took Xiao Siqi over to see what kind of monster his godson was doing.
"Old Ding, why did you get into this? If you weren't fine just now, why did you suddenly start crying?"
I have always heard Ding Yi say that this child is very noisy, but after coming here today , Zhang An found that he was quite well-behaved, and thought he had changed his temper.
“Hey, don’t say it, this is normal, and you have behaved well today.”
Although Ding Yi was holding the child and coaxing him, there was a look on his face. A nonchalant expression on his face.
Li Li next to her was similar. Even though their old man was looking at this, he still looked calm.
It seems that over the past few months, their family has become accustomed to the mischievous temperament of their master.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, wah..."
But at this time, something strange happened.
Little Siqi in Zhang An's arms suddenly said "babble" to the crying Xiao Ding.
What no one expected was that the happy classmate Xiao Ding, who was crying in Ding Yi's arms, stopped crying all of a sudden.
While looking at little Siqi with two bright eyes open, he responded with a wow response.
“Could it be that this is the legendary baby talk?”
Looking at the two human cubs babbling and communicating enthusiastically in unknown languages, Zhang An With a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes kept looking back and forth at the two little guys.
“I didn’t expect that the child we had taken care of for several months would be worse than a little guy who was just one month old.”
Ding Yi and Li Li looked at each other. Neither of them expected such a result.
According to my son's normal habits, he will not cry for more than ten minutes and will not stop until he is tired.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly coaxed by little Siqi in Zhang An's arms.
“Come on, come on, Zhang An, just sit here.”
Seeing how easily Xiao Siqi can coax her son into a monster, Li Li immediately didn’t want to let Zhang An go. He went somewhere else, and immediately handed him a stool and asked him to sit next to Ding Yi.
“Hey, you don’t want to rely on us, do you?”
In this way, Zhang An and Ding Yi, two grown men who were first-time fathers, sat together and let the two The little guy was chatting happily.
For Xiao Siqi, although there are many people at home today, he is still very strange because everyone cannot understand what he is babbling.
But it’s different now. In addition to him, there is another child. Now he finally found a companion. "By the way, Lao Ding, have you chosen a name for my godson yet? You haven't even said a word to me. It's been several months."
Zhang An asked once when he went to the hospital, but Ding Yi, an irresponsible father, was not ready.
Zhang An went there several times later, but he didn’t think about it. Now a few months have passed, and Ding Yi hasn’t said anything on the phone. Zhang An still doesn’t know that he is his godson. What's the name?
"My, my, my, I forgot to tell you guys, I already named it Ding Zijie, hehe."
Ding Yi smiled, as if he named it for himself Very happy with this name.
"Does this count as inheriting the characteristics of your family? It's simple, easy to remember and easy to write, right?"
Zhang An asked a few more questions before he figured out which two words it was. With the word "child", he instantly fit the specificity of their Ding family's naming.
Ding Yi’s own name has a total of three strokes in total, and his son’s is better with five strokes. It is considered that he is better than his master, two strokes more than Ding Yi.
"What's wrong with this? When I took the exam in elementary school, I could write my name in three strokes. The classmates next to me with more complicated names took a long time to write it. The name has been written, and I have done several questions, so I will definitely not give my son a complicated name to embarrass him."
When Zhang An heard it, it was exactly what he thought. This guy really had this idea.
But I have to say that his idea is very good. When the boy goes to kindergarten, he will really realize his father's good intentions in giving him this name.
In the afternoon, Zhang An's second grandfather, Zhang Shiqing, brought out the family's genealogy and prepared to write Xiao Siqi into the family tree after offering sacrifices to his ancestors.
Although the Zhang family is not a family that was born and raised here for hundreds of years, but the ancestors of the Zhang family moved here more than a hundred years ago to escape the war. Although there were only a few people who moved here at that time, The family tree was also brought over.
Since the past hundred years have been a turbulent era, life has not been easy, and there are no powerful people in the Zhang family, so there is no ancestral hall.
Mr. Zhang Shiqing, although he is not the eldest old man in the entire Changqing Zhang family, he must be the one with the highest seniority. This can be seen from Zhang An's seniority in the village.
To put it bluntly, in the entire Zhang family, those who are older than Zhang Shiqing are not as senior as him, and those who are the same as him are either gone or are not as senior as him.
So Xiao Siqi, as the legitimate son and eldest grandson of their lineage, of course did his part in the ceremony of joining the clan.
After the old man solemnly worshiped his ancestors, he entered Xiao Siqi's name into the family tree.
In the Zhang family’s genealogy, as long as there is a boy, it must be entered when he is full moon. If he is a girl, he cannot be entered.
Zhang An once opened it and saw that there was really no female name on it.
This does not mean that sons are favored over daughters, because one person cannot be entered into the genealogy of two surnames, and when a woman grows up, she will marry into another family, and then she will be entered into the genealogy of another family.
Therefore, in the Zhang family, there is no initiation ceremony for a girl after she is born.
As the old man paused, the ceremony was completed, but the little guy still didn't know how to kowtow, so Zhang An held him in his arms and knelt down to his ancestors.
Not to mention, even though the little guy is just one month old, after looking through the family tree, there are quite a few people who want to call him uncle now.
This is because Zhang An got married too early. If it had been a few years later, he might not be able to walk when someone in the village served him tea after getting married.
In the evening, after everyone had eaten and drank, Zhang An took the plate to the kitchen.
There were cigarettes, wine and some money on the plate, which were given to Zhou Yang to express the host's gratitude to the cook.
There were two glasses of wine. Zhou Yang picked it up together, poured one glass on the ground, paid homage to Kitchen God Bodhisattva, and drank the remaining glass himself.
Then he picked up the cigarettes and money on the plate. Of course he put the cigarettes into his pocket, but after sorting out the money in his hand, he put it back on the plate again without taking any of it.
"Yoko, don't do this, take it now."
This money is very important. No matter who comes to cook or helps at whose house, this money must be paid. But I won’t take them all.
Usually the chef takes part of it and puts the rest back on the plate and returns it to the host.
Basically, the money taken away was agreed upon by everyone in advance.
The cook only takes a part, which means to tell everyone that I am here to help not just for money.
"Okay, Uncle An. My brother is one month old. Why don't I do something about it? My family doesn't like this."
The last time Zhang An got married, it was Zhou. Yang Yang came with Zhang Jianzhong, and that time he accepted two yuan as a token of appreciation.
This time he didn't even express his feelings. After all, what he said was reasonable. His brother Man Yue, as a family, there was nothing wrong with coming to help.
After several refusals, Zhou Yang refused decisively, so Zhang An could only give up and look for opportunities to make amends later.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, with everyone's help, we finally cleared up the remaining stalls.
If everyone eats and leaves at this time, the host family will suffer a lot. Not only will they have to clean up the mess, but they will also have to return the things.
Ding Yi’s family did not return to the city, they all went to Chen Ze’s place.
Because Chen and Ding were comrades in arms when they were young, when old friends meet, they must reminisce about old times.
So when Ding Yi's family was about to leave in the evening, Mr. Chen was not allowed to stay.
On the other hand, Chen Ze also gave some advice. It was late at night and it was inconvenient to walk on the road with the child.
Out of concern for the child, after calling home, the family stayed.
During the day, Mr. Chen was busy collecting gifts from Zhang An's family, so he didn't have much time. When he was free at night, he had more time.
Ding Yi came over early the next morning.
"Zhang An, do you plan to continue to expand the yards at the entrance of your village? Or are there any people who want to quit the lease?"
As soon as he met Zhang An, he got straight to the point. said.
"What? Do you want to rent it now?"
Zhang An asked with a surprised look on his face. You must know that Chen Ze had asked this man before when he rented the yard.
At that time, the yard hadn't started to be rented yet, so anyone could ask for it, but Ding Yi didn't have the idea.
"Isn't it that the old man didn't think of it since he wasn't here before? Please help me ask and leave a set for me if you have any."
It turns out that their old man stayed here last night One night, I solved the problem of not sleeping well before, and I slept very soundly.
So when he got up in the morning, Ding came over to Zhang An to ask about this matter without even thinking about it.
