Eating big melon is so refreshing

Children in the countryside are not particular about this. There is no banquet for the third day after the birth of their baby, no full month celebration, no hundred-day celebration, and the one-year-old celebration. These are the rights enjoyed by boys.

As a boy-and-girl twin, Xiao Chunya was eligible to hold the one-year-old ceremony together with her brother. This honor alone made the girls in the village extremely envious of her.

Zhao Erlang borrowed two large tables and placed pearl flowers, rouge, powder, needle and thread, candy, cakes, a small abacus, a string of copper coins, books, pens and ink, a small bow and arrow, and a small wooden sword on them.

Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin were wearing bright red satin bellybands, one with peony flowers embroidered on it, the other with goldfish embroidered on it. Each piece of silk cost twenty taels of silver. The two pieces of silk were sent by the wife of County Magistrate Deng a few days ago, and there were also two pairs of silver bracelets.

The two little guys are chubby and tender, with little hands and legs like lotus roots. They wear embroidered silk bellybands, silver bracelets, and have cheerful smiling faces, just like dolls in New Year pictures.

The older men in the village would say the fat baby needs to be raised well and grow strong when they saw him. The short-sighted wives would stare at the silk bellybands and silver bracelets on the children, wishing they could kneel down and put them on their own hands!

"Have you named the baby?" An elder of the Jiang family wanted to show off his literary talent and was thinking about what name to give to the boy. As for the girl, she was just a money-loser, so he could just give her anything.

"The monks in the temple named our daughter Chunya, which means she is in high spirits and gentle." Zhao Erlang replied with a smile on his face, "The son will be named Qiulin, which means he is standing on the edge of an abyss."

The elder of the clan only studied for a few years, how could he dare to refute the monks in the temple for giving bad names? The monks would definitely criticize him. If you are so talented, why don't you take the exam to become a scholar?

The ceremony of grabbing the week began. Little Chunya crawled over and picked up the small wooden sword with one hand, picked up the small bow and arrow with the other hand, and held up the string of money with one foot!

Xiao Qiulin held a pen and a book in his left hand and a small abacus in his right hand. He also liked the small wooden sword, but he couldn't grab it from his sister.

The expressions of the men watching were ambiguous. Holding a pen and a book meant taking the imperial examination, and holding an abacus meant taking the path of a businessman. How could people praise them?

What kind of thing is it for a girl to wield swords and guns and still be greedy for money?

"Good! He has literary talent and good fortune. He is a good candidate for stabilizing the country." A woman's voice came, "He is heroic and valiant. Women are as good as men in governing the country."

When County Magistrate Deng and his wife arrived, everyone made way for them. Mrs. Deng saw Xiao Chunya shrouded in golden light. She murmured to herself, "The light of merit has blinded my eyes."

County Lieutenant Deng knew that his wife was well versed in the Book of Changes and knew how to read faces. He looked at the girl in surprise, as he could not tell what she was like.

Mrs. Deng turned her head and looked at Xiao Qiulin. She was struck by lightning at one glance. Her soul seemed to be pulled into an endless abyss. The jade token on her chest saved her life.

This child is so scary. She forced herself to remain calm and asked casually, "What are the names of the two children?"

"My daughter's name is Chunya, and my son's name is Qiulin."

"Autumn is coming? The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging. It's like being on the edge of an abyss or walking on thin ice." Mrs. Deng's face was a bit serious. "Isn't this the name given by the head monk in the temple? It has a very Zen meaning."

Zhao Erlang nodded and said, "It was named by the head monk in the temple. I don't understand what it means, but I think it's easy to pronounce."

Brother, your son is the reincarnation of a heavenly master, and you would be scared if I told you.

"Ah, beautiful sister!" Xiao Chunya's inner voice was loud and clear, "This is the heroic and valiant Qiang Qiang Rose, she has an aura of 2 meters, and she comes with her own BGM when she appears!"

Mrs. Deng could not hear what Xiao Chunya was thinking, but she saw Xiao Chunya stand up tremblingly from the table and stretch out her chubby little hands for a hug.

How could Mrs. Deng bear it? She wanted a sweet and soft little girl. After giving birth to three sons, she knew she would not have a daughter.

Mrs. Deng hugged little Chunya, who was so sweet, soft and chubby that it felt so good to hold her in her arms. "Brother Zhao, what's the name of this child?"

"Chunya."

"Spring breeze is blowing? Spring is back to the earth?" Mrs. Deng felt confused for the first time. How could the Heavenly Master and great fortune be born at the same time?

With the presence of County Lieutenant Deng and Mrs. Deng, the ceremony ended perfectly. Those ignorant villagers were very humble in front of the important man. The man's wife said that this little fat baby had the fate of becoming an official's wife and would become an official's wife in the future.

Xiaocao in the group had jealousy in her eyes. In her previous life, she heard Zhao Chunya say that she married the youngest son of a wealthy businessman. Later, that man donated money to become an official and she really became an official's wife.

"...The pair of silver bracelets are shining. They must be made of official silver. I think each bracelet weighs two taels. Your Excellency is really generous."

"It's a pity that I didn't get my hands on such beautiful silk. I could have used it to make a hair ornament, but it's such a waste to use it to make a bellyband."

It's not your stuff, so why do you care whether others waste it or not? The attitude of these women made the men feel embarrassed, and they all told their women to go home.

There is no banquet for the first birthday celebration, because families are afraid of shortening the life span of children. Many people give their children cheap names in order to be able to support them, such as Goudan, Donkey Egg, Horse Egg, Dog Sheng, Donkey Sheng, and you can tell from the names that they are wild children in the village.

Zhao Erlang's two children were given big names when they were one year old, and they were given by the head monk in the temple. Such a great blessing is not something that the kids in their family can compare with.

When Jiang Tang and Jiang Tian saw that the nobleman said that their granddaughter had the destiny of being an official's wife, they thought it was time to give their daughter some folk remedies and give birth to another son.

Jiang was a filial daughter who endured being forced to take the bitter folk remedy. Zhao Erlang looked helpless.

"My wife, we have one son and one daughter, that's enough."

"But my father and mother want a grandson to inherit the Jiang family's fireworks. Xiao Qiu'er is the first son and must have the surname Zhao, so we have to have another son."

Jiang said, "Are you willing for your father to choose someone from the clan to inherit the incense?"

Zhao Erlang was silent. At this time, he hated Xiao Jiang very much. If it weren't for the infertility medicine she gave him, his wife would definitely be able to give birth to a second child. It was agreed at the beginning that the second son would have the surname Jiang, and then there would be no trouble.

Little Chunya grabbed a teething stick and started chewing on it. She pricked up her ears and heard the conversation between her parents outside. She glared at her brother and said, "Think...of a way."

Xiao Qiulin shook his head firmly. In his previous life, Zhao Erlang didn't even have a son. His coming was already the greatest mercy of heaven.

Xiao Chunya decided to put these annoying things behind her. As a child, thinking too much will make you bald. She yawned loudly and went to sleep on the night when there was no melon to eat.

Xiao Qiulin was very envious of her sister who fell asleep in one second. She could eat and sleep at the same time, no wonder Fat Tiger.
