CH 78.2

Although Zhang Fangyuan said so on his mouth, there was still a smile on his face, he was really happy and worried.

"The two children are so caring, I'm happy to spend more money."

Zhang Fangyuan washed his hands in the yard and said: "Where are the two guys, are they asleep?"

Xu He said: "They are in the room. They are in the crib you made. The fences on both sides are high, so we can relax out hands for a while when they lie in it."

The two of them went into the room together. The two cubs were still wrapped in soft swaddling clothes, and they couldn't wear clothes until the full moon. They were lying next to each other, which was very pleasing.

Erbao was soundly asleep at the moment, and Dabao's drowsiness was much less than that of his younger brother. He looked around with his round eyes open. He didn't sleep but didn't make trouble. As if he sensed that his daddies came in, his short legs kicked. The crib was very big, and the two treasures were placed on the crib together, and two more cubs still could be put in the spare space.

But the spaciousness was spacious, but the crib took up a lot of space in the bedroom. For this reason, Zhang Fangyuan moved out the original table in the room, leaving the space for the two treasures to use.

Zhang Fangyuan teased Dabao for a while in front of the crib, but after a quarter of an hour, he couldn't bear it so he stretched out his hands to hold Dabao in his arms and continue to tease him.

"Have you thought about their names? What if when we invite people to the full moon banquet, and at that time they can only be called by their nicknames. When they grow up, they will go to the school and ask the master to give them a name.'

Dabao was warapped in the swaddling clothes, he had grown a lot, like a super cicada chrysalis, but he still looked very small in the arms of the big daddy.

Zhang Fangyuan held the child in his arm, he said: "When I delivered the goods to the shop today, I remembered that I haven't found the children's name. So I simply took their birthday horoscope and asked the master to come up with a good name. But when I inquired, this one said that there is a master in the east of the city, and the other said that there is another master who is good at naming outside the Guanyin Temple. Ten people have eleven answers, and everyone's opinions are good. If you choose this one or lose that one, I think it's better if I choose the name for Dabao and Erbao myself. "

Xu He opened his eyes slightly, he stared at Zhang Fangyuan and said: "Then you have made up your mind?"

"When I passed by the Spring Pond in the west of the city, and looked at the koi in it, I felt it was quite auspicious. Well, the children of our family are twins, so I took these two characters for Dabao and Erbao. My father’s generation is the generation with the character Shi, and in my generation, it's actually the generation with the character Xiao. Next, Dabao and Erbao's generation is the generation with the character Rui. Let's call the two children Zhang Ruijin and Zhang Ruili, what do you think? "

[锦鲤 jǐn lǐ: koi]

Xu He's eyebrows twitched slightly, this time he felt happy and auspicious, it was much better than Goudan, Erya and Yixi before, and it was good to call: "It can't be better."

"It's just, your generation is the generation with the character Xiao, why didn't you have character Xiao in your name?"

Zhang Fangyuan smiled and said: "Do you think it's appropriate for me to have character Xiao in my name? Zhang Xiaoyuan? It sounds like someone who is easy to get bullied. When I was young, I could recognize the two characters, so I twisted my parents and changed the character Xiao to Fang."

[晓 xiǎo: dawn; daybreak and 远 yuǎn: far homophones xiaoyuan: small person]

[放 fàng: to place; to release; to free]

Xu He didn't remember anything at that time, so he naturally didn't know what Zhang Fangyuan's previous name was, but after reading it once, he really found it a little funny, it was like a name of a child who hadn't grown up.

"But the people in your clan also agree?"

"Of course they didn't agree. Every time we had a reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year, my eldest uncle would mutter, he said that I'm deviant and ignorant, and I will definitely be a disobedient child when I grow up." Zhang Fangyuan patted his thigh with one hand and said: "I really wanted to tell him that what he said was true."

Xu He laughed and said again: "Although they didn't agree when you didn't use the character for your generation, don't they still call you by your current name?"

"How could they follow my heart so simply, they still called me with my old name. Later when I grew up a bit, and when I heard they called me with the wrong name, I would smash the eldest uncle's cup today and trample the fourth uncle's cabbage to death tomorrow. They shouted and cursed, and naturally they didn't dare to call me with that name again. In the end my fourth aunt always calls me A Yuan. "

Xu He shook his head helplessly, he only knew that Zhang Fangyuan was disobedient, but he didn't expect that he would be so naughty when he was a child.

He carried Dabao back from his arms and put him next to Erbao: "Don't teach the two children badly in the future."

"Some children are born naughty, so they don't have to be taught."

"That must be traceable to the same stock, the one with the same blood and follows his father."

[一脉相承 yī mài xiāng chéng: traceable to the same stock (idiom); of a common origin (of trends, ideas etc)]

Zhang Fangyuan scratched his head.

The scenery in spring was infinitely good, and the days were brisk. In a few days, Dabao and Erbao would be full moon.

Zhang Fangyuan's mansion also took a shape, and the family chose a good day to move in before the full moon banquet.

The courtyard walls of the mansion was as tall as two people of Zhang Fangyuan's size, and the inner front yard and backyard were five fen.

[1 fen= 0,1 mu= 66,667 m²]

In addition to the necessary main hall and kitchen, the house had eight bedrooms, and there was also a separate living room and a dining hall. There were storage rooms and warehouses outside.

There was a large cellar under the backyard, which could be used to store ice in winter, and vegetables and meat in summer.

Entering the house from the outside, you would first praise it for its spaciousness, and then it would make you sigh with sorrow for it's lavishness.

This show of extravagance was no smaller than that of the landlord's house in the village.

On the day of entering the new house, although Zhang Fangyuan didn't plan to hold  a banquet, he still invited his relatives to have fun, so that the kitchen could be fired up and add some fireworks to the new house.

After two days, it would be Dabao and Erbao's full moon banquet.
