This kind of name is just right for people from other eras, isn't it?

but……

The father is the male protagonist's name, and the son is the name of an old man from the countryside. This...

Well, she was overthinking it.

A short while later, Aunt Xi arrived carrying a lunchbox.

A bucket of old hen soup, a large box of millet porridge, five boiled eggs, and sesame salt packed in a small lunchbox.

Breastfeeding women should not eat too much salt, especially during the postpartum period. Too much salt can be bad for the baby's development if the baby drinks breast milk. Sesame salt is nutritious and not too salty, which is just right.

Qiu Ling was also hungry. She drank all the millet porridge that Aunt Xi had brought, and then drank a big bowl of chicken soup. She ate three eggs at once. She still wasn't full and wanted to eat more, but Aunt Xi stopped her.

"It's not that Mom is reluctant to let you eat, but you have to take it slowly. Eating too many eggs can cause dryness, and then it will be difficult to go to the toilet."

"You just gave birth, if you can't poop when you go to the toilet, you're in for a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling quickly pushed the lunchbox away, saying, "I won't eat now, I'll eat later when I'm hungry."

Seeing the reluctance in Qiu Ling's eyes, Luo Yu quickly stepped forward and whispered, "I already told Sister Wang before that I'd ask her to save some pig's trotters for me after my sister-in-law gives birth. She has a wide network of connections and knows people at the grocery store. I can just give her a heads-up. I'll go to Sister Wang's house when I get back."

She hadn't visited Sister Wang since returning from the provincial capital, so she decided to deliver the gifts she brought from there to her home.

Speaking of which, I also have to make a trip to Li Kexin and Wei Hong's place, otherwise those two girls will definitely give her a piece of their mind if they find out she came back and didn't come to see them.

Aunt Xi and Qiu Ling both looked at Luo Yu and nodded with smiles, saying, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Xiao Luo."

"No trouble at all, we're family, what trouble is there? It's all the least we can do."

After exchanging a few more words, Luo Yu realized she couldn't help much. She wanted to hold the baby, but the baby was too small, weighing only about six pounds, so she didn't dare reach out and could only glance at the baby to satisfy her craving.

Seeing this, Aunt Xi quickly told her to go back and rest first.

Before leaving, Luo Yu remembered the story of swapping children in the novel and quickly told Aunt Xi.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xi hugged Guan Guoqing tightly, saying, "Don't worry, it's just for one night. If there's nothing else to do tomorrow, we'll let your sister-in-law be discharged. Tonight, your brother and I will take turns watching over the child here. We will never let the child out of our sight."

Luo Yu nodded and glanced at the other pregnant women and new mothers in the ward. Only one of them had just given birth, and it was also a boy. The other two pregnant women had not yet given birth, and they did not seem to be able to give birth today. This reduced the risk a lot.

Luo Yu leaned closer to Aunt Xi and whispered, "Anyway, Aunt, just be careful. That's it for tonight. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, so you don't need to worry about home."

Don't worry about Jingyi either. Beizhan and I are here; she won't go hungry.

Aunt Xi was naturally relieved. "Your second uncle is working the midnight shift tonight, and your eldest brother has taken leave. I'll have your second uncle stay at the hospital and not go home today. You and your second son can go home."

Luo Yu shook his head. "I'll take Jingyi to my place. Don't worry."

Aunt Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "Don't let her touch everything. Your room was just cleaned up, and the furniture is all new. It's really a bargain for her. Her nephew and niece didn't even get to sleep there, but she got to sleep there first."

She muttered a couple of things to herself, which made Luo Yu cover her mouth and chuckle. She then tugged at Aunt Xi's hand and turned to leave.

Xi Beizhan and Guan Daqiang had already smoked five or six cigarettes outside the restroom. If Luo Yu didn't come out soon, the nurses would start chasing her away.

"You've finally figured it out? How's your sister-in-law? Is my nephew doing well?"

Luo Yu smiled and nodded at Xi Beizhan, then looked at Guan Daqiang and said, "Second Uncle, don't worry, my sister-in-law and nephew are both fine. My sister-in-law drank a big lunchbox of millet porridge, three boiled eggs, and a big bowl of chicken soup. My little nephew is still asleep with his eyes closed. I don't know when he will wake up."

Guan Daqiang only glanced at the baby after it was born, and that's when he named the child. Afterwards, fearing the baby would catch a cold, he didn't take it out. It wasn't appropriate for an old man like him to enter his daughter-in-law's ward, especially since there were several women in the ward. He was afraid of causing trouble, so he never went in.

If Guan Jingtian weren't the child's biological father, he wouldn't have gone in no matter what. Whether it's the Guan family or the Xi family, the men of Northeast China are generally quite reserved and don't easily enter their daughters-in-law's rooms. (My father-in-law is like that; he won't even sit on the sofa with me to watch TV. Maybe that's how the older generation is.)

Avoiding suspicion is something that's ingrained in the older generation.

At this moment, Luo Yu couldn't help but think of the twelve old men who had fooled around with the Lin family girl. There were really very few like them. Could it be that all these people had gathered together?

The saying "Those who are not family do not enter the same family" doesn't seem to apply to them, but it's truly hard to understand.

It was already dark when Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu finally got home. Guan Jingyi was starving, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu, like hungry wolves. Only then did Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan remember that there was a little cub at home waiting for them to feed him.

The two felt awkward for a moment, but fortunately, Luo Yu still had a lot of cooked food he had gotten from signing in over the past three months in his space. He secretly went back to his own home and reheated it so as not to arouse suspicion, before calling Guan Jingyi over for dinner.

Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu also skipped dinner. The three of them finished a large bowl of shredded pork noodles and lay side by side on the kang (a heated brick bed) without moving.

"How's my nephew doing?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"What's my nephew's name? My brother asked my dad to come up with a name for me, but after half a year of trying, he couldn't come up with a single word, not even a nickname."

Mentioning this, Luo Yu suddenly became excited and sat cross-legged next to Guan Jingyi. "Jingyi, let me ask you, do you know who named you and your brother? Your names are quite nice, but your nephew..."

Guan Jingyi sensed something was wrong and sat up as well. "Sister-in-law, tell me first, what's my nephew's name?"

Xi Beizhan also looked at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu's eyes were somewhat unfocused. "His name is Guan Guoqing. My sister-in-law said it was named by your father. He said that today is National Day, a day of national celebration, so he named him Guoqing."

Guan Jingyi and Xi Beizhan's expressions were indescribable!

Guan Jingyi sighed, "Speaking of my brother's name, it was given to him by an old man who fled here during a period of hardship."

At that time, my mother had just given birth to my brother and was in her postpartum period. An old man fainted near my house. My father was kind-hearted and gave him a bowl of water and a cornbread.

When the old man woke up and learned that my brother had just been born, he took the initiative to name him, saying it was as a way of repaying him.

My dad had already chosen a name for my brother: Guan Dazhuang. But after listening to the old man's advice, my dad thought the name sounded better, so he changed it to Guan Jingtian.

Luo Yu was surprised to hear this, but also felt it was only natural. Given Guan Daqiang's level of education, it was not surprising at all that he called Guan Jianguo.

Fortunately, my older brother wasn't named Guan Jianguo back then, otherwise what name would his son have?

The father's name is Jianguo (建国, meaning "founding the nation"), and the son's name is Guoqing (国庆, meaning "national day"). There's no such thing as a name like that.
