Jiang Yan knew Guan was exaggerating and laughed too. However, her current appearance was a little ugly due to the abuse done by the Shen family.

Yichen thought that her mother had a good foundation and if she took good care of her, she should be able to recover.

Jiang Yan thought that Guan's straightforward nature was quite suitable for her, so she smiled and replied, "It's bean dregs cake. I just made one here, Sister Guan, please try it first." As Jiang Yan spoke, she put the cooked bean dregs cake into a black pottery bowl and handed it over.

"It smells delicious. Sister Jiang asked me to try it, so I'll try it first." Guan didn't consider herself an outsider. She took the bowl without using chopsticks. She gently pinched the bean dregs cake with her thumb and index finger and blew on it a few times, then took a bite in the envious eyes of her three sons.

"Hmm~" The first bite was full of the unique bean flavor, which immediately captured Guan's heart. "Delicious."

Before Guan could take a second bite, Niu Dan had already squeezed in front of her and asked her anxiously, "Mom, is it delicious?"

"Delicious." Guan didn't even taste it. She broke the bean dregs cake in her hand into three pieces and fed them to her three sons respectively.

"It's so delicious." This is the common feeling of the three eggs.

Donkey Egg chewed the bean curd cake for two or three bites before swallowing it. He then hurriedly told Jiang Yan about his thoughtful feelings. "Aunt Jiang, bean curd cakes are so delicious! Even without any vegetables, I can still eat several pieces in one go."

"With such delicious food, what other dishes do you need? I'm not greedy." Niu Dan's meaning was very clear.

Only Goudan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

They are at the age when young boys can eat their parents out of money. They want to put anything they can eat into their mouths, especially if it is something they think is delicious.

Guan watched her sons' every move, and she felt a little bitter. Her three sons were all old enough to eat, and even if her husband tried every way to get more food, it was still not enough for her sons to eat.

This time, the cheapest beans can be used to make delicious food, which is a blessing for the people in the border town.

The more Guan thought about it, the happier she became, and she wanted to tell her man the good news as soon as possible.

But before she could run home, she saw that her eldest son was faster than her.

"Dog Egg~"

"Mom, I told you yesterday, don't call me Goudan anymore. As the order was being said, whether it sounded nice or not, everyone in the village shouted, 'Goudan,' and several children agreed. I don't want to be called Goudan anymore, and you are not allowed to call me that anymore."

"Then...if not Goudan, what should we call him?"

"Any name is better than Goudan." Goudan was determined not to use this name anymore.

"But..." Guan was worried. These were the only names she and her husband could think of. They couldn't think of any more.

Goudan didn't want to embarrass his mother, so he gave her some advice, "Mom, listen to how nice Sister Chenchen's name is. You should learn from my Aunt Jiang."

With her son's reminder, Guan Shi remembered. "Your Aunt Jiang was also a lady from a prominent family back then. How could mother compare to her?"

However, her son's words also reminded Guan, "How about, Sister Jiang, you give our dog a nice name."

"Sister Guan, that won't work. Children's names are chosen by their parents or grandparents. It's not appropriate for me to choose one."

"It's appropriate. After all, you are their aunt, so it should be okay to give them a name."

"Sure." Goudan spoke up so that his future name would be presentable to others.

"But~" Jiang Yan was still hesitant.

Guan's temper flared up. "Sister Jiang, stop dithering. Don't you think about it? The five of us in my family combined don't know as many characters as you alone. If not you, who else should take on the naming job?"

Jiang Yan: …

"Yes, Aunt Jiang, I'll leave this matter to you."

Seeing Goudan's expectant look, Jiang Yan stopped refusing, but she really couldn't think of anything for the time being.

Seeing Sister Jiang lowering her head, as if thinking about something, Guan hurried over to replace her and skillfully spread out the bean curd cakes.

With Guan's help, Jiang Yan's mind worked faster. She thought that this was a border town and war was inevitable.

As a military household, I want to win every battle.

"Yes, how about a great victory? It means a complete victory."

After hearing what Aunt Jiang said, Goudan jumped for joy, shouting, "Aunt Jiang, I like this name. A big win, a complete victory. Thank you, Aunt Jiang."

"Well, that's a good name." Guan also liked it. "You have to be knowledgeable to be able to come up with a nice name."

"Aunt Jiang, I want to change my name too."

"Aunt Jiang also wants to help me change my name."

Seeing Goudan's stunning beauty, Yichen wanted to cover her mouth. "Great Sage?" Her mother was so careless to give him that name. "Fortunately, Goudan's last name isn't Sun."

The commotion was so intense that Zhang Xiaoqi could hear him wielding a large sword at his doorstep. He, who also enjoyed the commotion, came over with his large sword in hand.

He could smell a fragrance from twenty or thirty feet away.

He was a straightforward, rough man who didn't hide anything. He would just say, "What are you doing? It smells so good. I can smell it from far away."

Seeing her husband also coming, Guan smiled and said, "It's just right that you're here. I don't have to ask the children to go back and call you later."

"Wife, what's delicious?"

"It's a new food developed by Sister Jiang, bean dregs cake." Guan said as she handed over a piece of prepared bean dregs cake.

Zhang Xiaoqi took it and put it into his mouth. After just one bite, the smile on his face never stopped.

He was especially delighted when he heard that Jiang had named his eldest son Dasheng. He also stated directly that the second son would be named Ersheng and the third son would be named Sansheng.

Look how convenient it is, and it sounds good too.

The newly released second and third wins were even happier than the eldest brother. The elder brother won a great victory, and they won great victories one after another.

"Okay, my name is nice."

"Mine sounds good too."

The two brothers' chapped faces freely released their unrestrained enthusiasm in the early spring breeze.

The shouting was so loud that it attracted Da Mao and Er Mao who were collecting firewood.

"Donkey Egg and Cow Egg, you are so happy because you found some silver."

"Hahaha, I'm happier than finding silver. Da Mao and Er Mao, we've changed our names. My eldest brother's name is Da Sheng, mine is Er Sheng, and my youngest brother's name is San Sheng. How do you like it? Nice, right?"

"Nice, this time the name sounds nice."

Old Yu also walked out of his yard, stroking his unevenly trimmed beard and saying, "This name has a good meaning. We military families have been looking forward to two things for half our lives: a good harvest, and victory in battle."

Old Wang, who lived closest to the Yu family, also came over and said, "That's right." Then he secretly asked Old Yu, "What crime did the Shen family commit? Why were the whole family taken away by the centurions?"
