Farming and reading family

If the third son's wife wants to, she can coax people so hard that they can't tell the difference between their nose and mouth.

Jiang just fell for it, so even though Lei was a little lazy and would occasionally talk back to her, she still lived a good life in the Chen family.

The mother-in-law didn't say anything else. Lei immediately packed up her things, took all the valuables in their house with her, and then took her two children to her second brother's house.

"Why are you here alone?" Gao E saw Lei come in with two children.

"Mom has to take care of Dad, so let me come alone." Lei did not blame her mother-in-law.

In fact, there was no need for Lei to hide it. Gao E had already guessed the result, so she agreed to Chen Ke so readily.

However, if Jiang really came, Gao E would not say anything and would just deal with it when the time came.

"Dad really needs someone to stay with him." Gao E smiled. "Do you plan to live with your eldest sister-in-law and the others, or live in the third cave?"

"Just live with my sister-in-law." Lei put her things in.

After a while, Chen Ke came back. Although he was wearing a hat, his clothes were quite wet.

Since it was raining and there was nothing else to do, several women gathered together to make clothes, especially small clothes for Gao E's unborn baby.

"Hey, has your second brother chosen a name for the child?" Yang suddenly asked.

"Not yet." Gao E said immediately.

In fact, the original owner had already named her unborn child Chen Youming, hoping that Chen Ke would be on the list.

But now she is planning to change the names of her four children, so how could she possibly let her own child be named this?

"Then you have to hurry up, second brother. He's a scholar and he's very strict about naming." Lei said with a smile, "My two children were named by second brother."

Gao E nodded in agreement: "Husband, the name is indeed good."

This made Chen Ke ashamed.

It was indeed he who named the Chen family's grandchildren, basically giving them the names they had when they were born.

For example, my eldest brother’s daughter Chen Yuning’s name means that the rain stopped when she was born.

Chen Hanyue was born when the moonlight was very bright.

Xichen was born just before dawn, and Yan'er was born when there happened to be a bunch of yanhua flowers under the eaves that day...

As for the names of his four sons, they were given by Gao E, and each one was related to his imperial examinations.

This reminded him of Gao E's suggestion to change his son's name. Maybe he really should change his name.

The rain lasted for another three days. Lei went out in the rain to pick some bamboo shoots and water chestnuts.

Jiang always complained that Lei was lazy, but Lei was so diligent with Gao E that Gao E felt a little guilty.

A wild boar was caught in the trap during these three days. They killed it, pickled it and smoked it, so of course there was a pot of braised food at home.

Days like this make the Lei family like it to rain.

On the fifth day of the rain, the village head found Chen Ke's house. Seeing that the cave was full of women, he stood outside and talked to Chen Ke.

"Uncle Zheng." Chen Ke was still respectful.

Zheng Fengan hesitated for a moment: "This rain is indeed a bit strange."

Their roof was just repaired after the autumn harvest. In previous years, it was fine throughout the winter, but now it has started to leak after a few days of rain.

He even went to Yutou Dam to take a look. It had been raining for five days, but the water level hadn't changed at all, which he felt was abnormal.

"Uncle Zheng means..." Chen Ke pretended to be confused.

Zheng Fengan thought Chen Ke was just a scholar. "How about we go to the city and ask a doctor to take a look? What if something goes wrong?"

Chen Ke felt that Li Zheng believed it: "That's a solution, but I have to discuss it with the villagers first. After all, this is a village matter."

"I know this." Zheng Fengan nodded.

"But before that, we should let the villagers keep watch. In case there is any movement, they can be alerted in advance." Chen Ke suggested.

Zheng Fengan thought that no one would be willing to keep watch in such weather, but he nodded anyway: "You are very thoughtful."

"How about we communicate with the villages below?" Chen Ke suggested.

After the dam burst, Baotou Village was the first to be hit. Although several villages below were flooded, the situation was not as serious.

Furthermore, the place where the water was diverted downstream was also completely flooded.

Chen Ke tried his best to remind them, but he didn't want anyone to notice his abnormality.

Zheng Fengan frowned and thought for a while: "Forget it, this is not a good thing. What if others think we are looking for bad luck?"

Chen Ke nodded.

Zheng Fengan actually wanted to use the Chen family's carriage, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. It had been raining for so long, and if they got stuck in the mud, it would be better to walk.

After seeing the village head off, Chen Ke stood at the door and looked at the sky.

He was in the capital during the flood in his previous life and didn't know much about the situation in Baotou Village. However, the flood changed too many things and his wife died in the flood, so he remembered it very clearly.

"Why does Uncle Zheng want to see you?" Gao E saw Chen Ke standing at the door and not returning to the cave.

Chen Ke looked at Gao E and said, "Shall we change the child's name?"

Changing the name means changing the name, and he hopes everything can change.

"Okay." Gao E suggested it to Chen Ke last time, but Chen Ke didn't agree immediately. "Have you thought of a name?"

Chen Ke hadn't thought about it yet, but when Gao E asked him this, he suddenly remembered what Gao E once said about why to study.

Read books to understand the truth and to correct oneself.

In this world, we seek to live an upright life.

"A wealthy family will have one character for each generation. Why don't we ask for a correct character for our child?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.

"Okay." Gao E thought that as long as she didn't win the championship or get into high school, it would be fine.

"The eldest will be named Zhengyan, praying for endless life; the second will be Zhenghui, praying for endless light; the third will be named Zhengchuan, praying for a smooth life; the fourth will be named Zhengyue, praying for greatness and indomitable spirit." Chen Ke said as he looked at Gao E's abdomen.

Gao E held Gao Long's belly and asked, "What about Lao Wu?"

Chen Ke wondered if he named the child now, would people know that he knew the child's gender.

"I think it's a boy. My reaction when I was pregnant with him was the same as his four brothers." Gao E saw that Chen Ke didn't say anything.

"Then we must be upright and forge ahead." Chen Ke said with a smile.

"No wonder my third sister-in-law said that my husband is good at naming." Gao E immediately praised.

This made Chen Ke feel a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head with a smile.

"Then when should we inform my parents?" Gao E felt that a family like the Chen family should not have something like a family tree.

Chen Ke felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gao E ask this: "I'll find a time to talk."

Regardless of whether Chen Ke said it or not, Gao E called the four children over and told them about changing their names.

Three-year-old Chen Jidi didn't react much, but the three children above were very excited, especially Chen Duokui, who was so excited that he almost cried.

You know, the children in the village often use their names to make fun of them and even make little songs about them.

He always wanted to change his name, but he didn't dare because he knew it was his mother's wish.

"Why are you crying? Don't you like this name?" Gao E looked at the eldest brother. "Then I'll ask your father to give you another one?"

"I like it, I like it." Chen Zhengyan said hurriedly, "From now on, my name will be Chen Zhengyan."
