Chapter 963: Good Name
"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you? You know I don't have the ability to tell stories."
Lu Qingye heard these things from his family and had never heard of them before.
"So some families like to give their children some mean names, but we all use nicknames. The Fu family was really scared, so they changed the child's name to Tiedan."
Meng Wantang looked a little dazed.
"But Tiedan is better than our Goudan. I didn't think so before, but now I think it's true."
Meng Wantang didn’t dare to say anything else.
She felt that if the two children had not been given vulgar names, they might have died long ago under the torture of their original owners.
Now Meng Wantang is really glad that her two children were given such names.
"That's a good name."
Meng Wantang was talking about the twin sons in the family.
She said this without any context and thought Lu Qingye wouldn't understand, but Lu Qingye actually gave her a thumbs up.
"It's a good name, so our children will have a bright future."
Meng Wantang forced a smile.
"I kind of miss our sons. The others are fine, but this kid has been admitted to the military academy, so it's hard for us to see him."
Meng Wantang suddenly looked up at Lu Qingye.
An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she asked excitedly, "You are also a soldier, do you know anyone in the military academy? If there are any of your comrades in arms or something like that, can you say hello to them and let's go in and see our son? If nothing else, the main thing is to see the environment where the child lives, so that we can have a better idea of what's going on."
Lu Qingye thought about it seriously and said, "I can't remember who I know in the military academy right now. I'll go back and ask if anyone knows. If there's someone familiar, then we'll ask. If the rules allow, we'll go in and take a look."
Meng Wantang didn't mean to go see her immediately, she just had this idea.
"But the holiday is coming soon, so it's okay not to go this year. You just need to make preparations in advance and find out clearly. When the children start school next year, we can go and ask together. If it's okay, we can go in and take a look together."
"it is good."
Meng Wantang and Lu Qingye tacitly did not continue talking, but slowly drank tea and appreciated the scenery outside.
Xiaopang slept for two hours.
It was already dark when he opened his eyes again.
The room was dim.
But I could see two people sitting next to me.
Xiaopang was stunned for a long time before he remembered where he was. He sat up suddenly and walked quickly over here. He saw his parents sitting on the chairs looking out the window. They heard the footsteps and looked towards him at the same time. Then his mother asked him with a smile.
"Are you awake? If you are, come and sit here for a while. Do you want to eat something? You will be hungry after waking up. I will ask someone to cook two more dishes. What do you want to eat? We will go home after you have eaten. You just woke up. You will catch a cold if you go out now. Let's stay here for a while."
Meng Wantang's voice was gentle, and every word she said was out of consideration for her son.
Xiaopang's eyes were a little sore.
Mom and Dad are so nice. They are so tolerant of him. If it were someone else, they would never do this.
"Mom and Dad, you've been waiting here for a long time. Let's go home directly. I'm not hungry anyway."
Xiaopang took out his hat from his schoolbag and put it on.
"Didn't we drive here? I went out and sat directly in the car. It wasn't cold at all."
Meng Wantang was a little worried that her son would be hungry: "When you get home, there may not be anything to eat. This is a restaurant. They are still open until the early morning. What do you want to eat? Let's eat something here."
"I'm really not hungry, let's go home."
Before Xiaopang could finish his words, his stomach started growling.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other and no one spoke.
Meng Wantang and Lu Qingye actually had a hard time holding back their laughter. They didn't laugh or talk, mainly because they wanted to save some face for their son.
Xiaopang was embarrassed.
He tried to explain that he wasn't actually hungry.
As for why his stomach was growling, he wasn't quite sure.
"Then let's order a grilled fish. It's good to eat some grilled fish at night." Meng Wantang knew that her son was shy and didn't want to talk, so she decided to order a grilled fish.
Meng Wantang regretted ordering the grilled fish because it took a long time to cook.
It seemed a little awkward for the family to sit here.
Fortunately, the awkward moment didn’t last too long. No one knew what was happening outside and fireworks were actually being set off.
"Wow, these fireworks are pretty good. They look pretty nice."
Meng Wantang stood up and walked to the window to look outside.
Lu Qingye was worried that she might catch a cold, so he took some clothes and put them on her. He also closed the window and let her look out through the glass.
"The child is already awake, there's no need to ventilate." Lu Qingye is no longer worried that his son will catch a cold, but instead is worried that Meng Wantang will catch a cold.
Because it was warm inside the house, Meng Wantang wore fewer clothes.
She stood directly in front of the window and the cold wind from outside blew in, which could cause her to catch a cold in an instant.
Meng Wantang gathered her clothes, turned her head and asked Lu Qingye: "Let's buy more fireworks for the New Year this year."
In a few decades, there will be a period of time when fireworks are banned.
During those years, the Chinese New Year didn’t have much of a festive atmosphere.
Of course Lu Qingye would not refuse: "If you want to buy it, buy it. Our family is not short of this little money. You can buy as much as you want."
"It's not good to buy too much. Just buy a moderate amount to satisfy your taste." Meng Wantang said to buy less, but she counted on her fingers, "During the Little New Year, we must set off fireworks on New Year's Eve, and at night we must set off fireworks on New Year's Day, New Year's Day, and New Year's Day. If you count it this way, we still have to buy a lot. Several children must also want to set off fireworks to satisfy their taste. After all, the neighbors are setting off fireworks during the day, and it would be a bit embarrassing if we don't set off fireworks at home."
For a moment, Lu Qingye couldn't tell whether the children wanted to set off fireworks or she wanted to set off fireworks.
"Then buy more. Buy as much as you want."
As Lu Qingye spoke, he turned around and glanced at his son who was standing next to him.
Xiaopang didn't expect that he just came out to eat, but he felt like he was eating too much.
"Dad, how about I just go home now?" Xiaopang's words were a sure win and instantly attracted Meng Wantang's attention.
Meng Wantang turned around in confusion, first looking at her son and then at Lu Qingye.
"What's wrong? Why are you saying you want to go home?"
Lu Qingye looked at his son with a half-smile: "The child has grown up and doesn't want to stay with his parents. Maybe he feels bored."
Children who are in their rebellious period definitely don't want to be with their parents.
Meng Wantang glanced at his son and said to him very patiently, "After dinner, let's go home."
Xiaopang: "..."
He never expected that his father would be such a father.
Don't talk about martial ethics.
If Lu Qingye knew what his son was thinking, he would definitely say with a smile: "You are grown up now, and you are not a child anymore."
He will definitely not give in to his son again.
The grilled fish arrived quickly.
Xiaopang didn't have much appetite at first, but when he smelled the overbearing aroma of the grilled fish, he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and start eating.
I accidentally finished three bowls of rice and ate the whole fish.
Meng Wantang was watching on the side, stunned.
"Our son is such a big eater. Most people can't even compare to him in terms of his appetite."
Meng Wantang thought about it seriously. If she remembered correctly, her son had eaten up all the food on the table before dinner.
After sleeping for two hours, my stomach seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit again.
"Don't growing children usually eat this much? Aren't you used to it yet?"
Lu Qingye thought back to a few years ago, when the three children in the family were in their growth spurt, and the family had to cook three pots of rice for one meal.
Otherwise there won’t be enough to eat.
Meng Wantang was worried that her sons were starving, so she prepared delicious food for every meal.
Braised pork is cooked in a pot.
When stewing a chicken, there are never just one, always two.
Other people only stew one or two kilograms of ribs in one meal, but they stew a whole pot of ribs with fruits.
The children were full and could finish four or five bowls of rice in this meal.
The bowls they use are not big ones, but small ones.
Even so, four or five bowls of rice are not a small amount.
Meng Wantang was also worried that the children did not have enough food at school, so she had meals prepared and sent to school every day.
Several children got their meals from the cafeteria, brought them to the classroom, and then put the meals sent from home on the table.
They didn't eat alone, but asked other students to come and eat with them.
After Meng Wantang learned about this, he specially got a small food truck.
I prepare special meals for my sons.
Now several of the children's classmates also came to eat together.
When Meng Wantang went to the school for the parents' meeting, other parents held Meng Wantang tightly. If the person who came to the parents' meeting was a father, he would only thank Meng Wantang solemnly.
Only then did Meng Wantang realize that the small food truck he brought ensured that the children had enough to eat, and the children's growth was not affected, and they all grew very tall.
When Meng Wantang thinks back on that period of time, it feels unreal.
"Thinking about it now, I feel like we weren't raising three children at the time."
Meng Wantang was afraid that Xiaopang would hear her, so she lowered her voice when speaking to Lu Qingye.
"During that time, I was really glad that I made money, otherwise I really couldn't afford to raise several children. They really eat too much. Fortunately, the children caught up with a good time. If it were a few years ago, they probably wouldn't have enough food to eat and would have been hungry every day. I guess they wouldn't have grown as tall as they are now."
As Meng Wantang spoke, she began to laugh.
Lu Qingye came closer and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Meng Wantang whispered something in his ear.
