Chapter 269 Zhaodi changes his name

Ding Heli and Qin Yilin don't eat here at noon now. They go out early in the morning and come back late every day to collect herbs. When they come back, they are dried and ground into medicinal powder by Ding Jiajia and stored in oil paper bags.

This morning I waited until Fan Zhaodi's matter was over before I felt free to go out.

Ding Heli loved to eat braised pig's trotters, but Shui Qing saved one. Qin Yilin loved braised pork intestines, so Shui Qing also cut a plate and put it away separately, and asked Jiajia to take it home for the two of them in the evening.

The remaining portion was also quite generous, and the whole family finished the meal enthusiastically. Fan Zhaodi stood up and naturally put away his bowls and chopsticks.

Fan Jin stood up and called out: "Brother Zhao, come with me."

After speaking, he looked at Shui Qing.

Shui Qing immediately understood that this was asking her to get up too, and she got up with a tacit understanding.

Fan Zhaodi put down the dishes and chopsticks he had packed away and followed the two of them towards the main room without saying a word.

There is a corridor in the yard, which protects you from the hot sun. The wind blows from the spring, bringing a stream of water vapor, which is fresh and comfortable.

Fan Jin led the two of them to the desk in the tea room, which was fully stocked with paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

Fan Zhaodi looked at his second uncle who was standing in front of the desk. He knew that his second uncle had something to talk to her about, and he might also need to write a note or something. She didn't ask and waited quietly.

Her second uncle and second aunt had paid so much for her, and no matter what they asked her to do, it was a matter of course.

"Although it is an adoption, it is only a temporary measure. Your second aunt and I will still be your second uncle and second aunt, and we can call you whatever you want;

Brother and sister-in-law, it's up to you whether you follow your past customs or follow Yan Qiuxing's call, you can decide for yourself, we won't interfere, do you understand? "Fan Jin's words are gentle, and every word is as gentle as jade.

Fan Zhaodi didn't expect that this was what her second uncle said when she came up. She had been very nervous in the morning and didn't know how to shout.

If you don't call her daddy, will you think she is ungrateful? After helping her so much, you don't even call her daddy.

But if you call me daddy, will you be robbing the eldest sister and their parents?

And she knew that there were servants in her aunt's family. Those servants called her eldest sister and second sister "miss", and she called her "father and mother". Those people could only treat her as a young lady, but she was not really a young lady... .

"I'll still call you uncle and aunt, okay? From now on, I will call you eldest sister and second sister." She knew those were her parents, but after today, they have neither the name nor the name of the parents. The truth.

She only recognizes her second uncle and second aunt in her heart. They are not her biological parents, but they are better than her parents and herself in her heart.

Fan Jin agreed: "Okay, the title is just a formality, don't worry too much."

Then he asked: "You said you didn't like your name before, do you want to change it now?"

Zhaodi opened his mouth, his face full of surprise.

This was the first time her eldest sister and second sister asked her to learn to read with her second uncle.

The eldest sister and the second sister also asked the second uncle to help her give her a new name, but the second uncle did not agree at that time.

Unexpectedly, my second uncle still remembers it! Second uncle always remembers it.

Fan Jin saw her doubts and explained in a gentle voice: "At that time, you were just staying with your second uncle, and everything was decided by your parents. Even if they gave you a name, you wouldn't be able to use it. Now, it's different. "

"As long as you want, you have a new name, just like your eldest sister and second sister. Do you want to change it?"

Fan Zhaodi was so excited that he couldn't make a sound and could only nod heavily.

The little head kept nodding.

She didn't know if others liked their names, but she didn't like to be called "Zhao brother". She didn't want to be reminded all the time to recruit a brother.

Xiaohua, her playmate in the village, complained to her that her name was so unpleasant and that she felt like a puppy. She didn't want to call her Xiaohua, but Xiaohua didn't know how much she envied her.

At least Xiaohua's parents want her to be like Huahua, instead of letting her recruit another brother into her mother's belly.

Shui Qing understood Fan Zhaodi's excitement and concern.

In China, there are also girls named Zhaodi, Pandi, and Yindi. When they grow up and have the ability, many of them change their names.

After the change was successful, I almost overflowed with excitement and joy, saying that it was as if a layer of shackles had been taken off. Girls who were not given this name would never experience the frustration, boredom and embarrassment of being laughed at due to partiality.

She looked at Fan Jin, but she didn't expect that he would immediately think of changing Zhaodi's name. She had to say that this was the best and most important gift for Zhaodi.

"Then what kind of name do you want? Have you ever thought about it? If not, would you like your second uncle to pick it for you? If you have other requirements, you can ask." Fan Jin continued to ask patiently.

Brother Fan Zhaodi shook his head at first and said hurriedly: "No, anything is fine! Please help me get it, uncle."

Then he thought of something, timidly raised his head to look at his second uncle, and asked hesitantly: "Second uncle, can I have the same name as my eldest sister and my second sister?"

She wanted to use the month of their birth, just like the eldest and second sisters, which had a very good meaning.

Fan Jin had no objection, thinking that the little girl thought it sounded good, so he explained: "Your eldest sister and second sister are nicknamed by the month of birth. You and your second uncle remember that you were born in June, so do you also use the nickname of June?"

Fan Zhaodi did not answer immediately, but asked uncomfortably: "Second uncle, is June bad?"

Fan Jin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a trace of confusion appeared on his fair cheeks. He was extremely puzzled: "No, every month is fine. Why do you ask?"

Fan Zhaodi bit his lip and said after a while: "My mother, she said I was born in a bad month and was unlucky."

It was her fault that she couldn't stand the cold in June because it was hot. If she hadn't given birth to her, she wouldn't have to suffer this.

But she didn't want to either. This was not something she could control...

"Nonsense! Hasn't she heard of the old saying that blessed people are born in June? People born in June are blessed!" Shui Qing argued angrily.

The big stone that was pressing on Fan Zhaodi's heart seemed to have been removed. Was she also a blessed person?

But after meeting her second uncle and second aunt, she was indeed a blessed person.

Second aunt was the worst at lying. If she said that people born in June were blessed, then people born in June were blessed people.

She looked at her second uncle behind the desk and replied firmly: "Second uncle, I choose June."

Fan Jin picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, wrote carefully on the snow-white rice paper, put down the pen and handed the paper over.

Zhaodi took it solemnly with her small hand and looked at the words on it.

Late summer.

She couldn't write, and couldn't recognize difficult characters, but in two months, she could recognize most common characters.

She read it out loud, repeatedly, and every time she read it, she felt that this name was very nice, much better than Zhaodi.

"After June, autumn will soon come. The lotus fragrance will fade away in late summer, and the chrysanthemum fragrance will enter the new autumn. In order to have a good omen and cool down early, June is also called late summer. I think this elegant name has a good meaning;

But if you don't like it, you can change it again."
