Chapter 1526 1628. Welcome
Shu Chang was struggling with the name, and Nie Wei came back with a fruit plate.
Shu Chang immediately threw her troubles to Nie Wei.
This is also a 'good habit' she has developed over the years. If she finds something troublesome, she will throw it to Nie Wei, and most of the problems will be solved.
"Name? My idea?" Hearing Shu Chang's question, Nie Wei smiled and said, "I think it is most appropriate to name her according to the Book of Songs. This is also the tradition of naming for us Chinese people."
"I have thought of two names recently. We will call our daughter Jingshu, Jingnu Qishu. I hope my daughter will be a gentle and quiet girl in the future, just like you."
Nie Wei's subtle praise made Shu Chang smile, and she continued to ask happily, "What about the son?"
"How about Yingyang? Wei Shi Shangfu, Shi Wei Yingyang, I hope my son is like a goshawk flying in the sky, mighty and not lacking in courage and struggle, and has the courage to pursue his dreams."
"Husband, the names you choose are all great!" Shu Chang clapped her hands and praised.
"Haha, not bad, right?" Nie Wei was also a little proud. He had been reading the Book of Poetry a lot recently, and had thought of a lot of names. In the end, he picked out the two most satisfactory ones.
When Su Qing and Zhou Jianguo brought bird's nest porridge to see Shu Chang, Nie Wei also mentioned the name issue to the two elders.
"It's not bad, but I think Lao Suqi's name is also good, and Min Chunqi's name is also interesting." Zhou Jianguo said in a conciliatory way.
As the first one to be eliminated among the few people who named their children recently, he also became the object of competition among others, which of course made Zhou Jianguo very tormented.
On one side is the child, on the other side is the wife, and on the other side is the family. It seems inappropriate to lean towards either side.
When Lao Zhou said this, he kept looking at Nie Wei for help.
"Ahem, Mom, if you ask me, let's just choose a group of names that we are most satisfied with, and then vote anonymously at that time. Which group of names gets the most votes, then we will choose that group. How about that?" Nie Wei applied the voting method of the board of directors to the selection of his baby's name.
I don't know what the two children's expressions will be when they know that their names were chosen in this way.
Zhou Jianguo almost raised his feet to support this secret ballot. As soon as Nie Wei finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say: "Yes, Nie Wei's method is better, fair and just."
As soon as Nie Wei said this method, Zhou Jianguo really felt relaxed all over and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"That's fine, but everyone must hold a fair and just heart when voting. After all, this name will accompany the child for a lifetime." Su Qing reminded.
Min Chun blushed, always feeling that Su Qing was implying something.
But she was indeed guilty. When she named the child before, she was the kind of person who was out of tune. She thought that Nie Wei's surname was Nie, and she came up with the idea of Nie Zi without thinking. As a result, as soon as she said it, everyone's face changed.
She thought that the word "Zi" meant success, and Nie Zi was homophonic with tweezers, which was also very interesting.
But Min Chun forgot that Nie Zi also has the same pronunciation as "evil son". It would be strange if everyone was happy if she named the child like this.
Fortunately, Su Qing was well-mannered and took the initiative to smooth things over for her. If it was a hot-tempered in-law, I'm afraid they would have fought at that time.
Since then, Min Chun's enthusiasm for naming the child has faded a lot.
And after all, the baby will be a member of the Nie family in the future. The responsibility of naming should be borne by Nie Wei or Su Qing. As an outsider, she should not say too much.
The method has been proposed, and the preliminary names have been released. Nie Wei is a man of action. He immediately went to the nurse to get a note and a pen, and distributed them to everyone, asking them to write down their choices.
The voting results of the five people came out soon.
Nie Wei called out the votes, and Shu Chang counted them. In order to be fair, Nie Wei had to show the real content of the ballot to the other people every time he called out a vote.
The result of the vote turned out to be a tie.
Logically speaking, with five people voting, there would be no way there would be a tie, but one person abstained, which led to the current tie.
"I abstained." Min Chun raised her hand and said.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her in confusion, Min Chun quickly explained: "I just think it's inappropriate for an outsider like me to get involved in the matter of names."
"Aunt, you are not an outsider." Shu Chang pulled Min Chun's arm and said coquettishly.
For Shu Chang, Min Chun, who has taken care of her and accompanied her since she was a child, is a real relative. Even in Shu Chang's heart, Min Chun has always regarded Min Chun as her second mother.
Shu Chang's attachment touched Min Chun, but she still refused to vote.
Shu Chang regarded her as a support, Nie Wei also respected her, including Su Qing and Zhou Jianguo were also very friendly to her, but the more this happened, Min Chun knew that she had to be more sensible.
She decided not to get involved in the matter of deciding the name that would accompany the baby's life, especially in the current situation of the same vote. The more important her vote was, the more she felt that she should give up.
If Min Chun doesn't vote, the result can only be a stalemate.
In fact, it's clear without asking that Shu Chang will definitely stand with Nie Wei, and Zhou Jianguo will definitely support Su Qing, so even if it's anonymous, everyone knows who voted for whom.
Nie Wei was thinking about what to do when Su Qing suddenly spoke up: "I'll change my vote and vote for my son."
Everyone looked at Su Qing in surprise.
You know, when it comes to naming the baby, Su Qing is the most enthusiastic and attentive among all the people. Even when the votes were tied, some people thought that Nie Wei would eventually give in, but unexpectedly, it was Su Qing who took the initiative to make concessions.
"You all look at what I am doing. I think the name I gave my son is more suitable. I changed my vote. Is that not okay?" Su Qing asked Zhou Jianguo, who was standing beside her with his mouth wide open.
"Okay, okay, of course." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile, and quietly gave Su Qing a thumbs up.
"Thank you, Mom." Nie Wei also reacted and said with a smile.
"Why thank me, but you gave the name, and I will give the nicknames to the two children." Su Qing made concessions on the name, and Nie Wei naturally would not argue with his mother about the nicknames.
Everyone ate fruit and chatted together, and Nie Wei kept muttering the new names of the two children to his comfortable belly.
The doctor also said that even if the baby is not born yet, they can actually receive information from the outside world at this time. This is why doctors always recommend expectant mothers to listen to music and the like, because prenatal education is really useful.
Especially every time the fetus moves, Nie Wei feels the power of the little life inside, and can't help laughing happily.
Su Qing was also chatting with Min Chun, mainly talking about postpartum care, but I don't know how the chat went off track. Su Qing suddenly asked Nie Wei on the side: "Haven't you notified your sister yet?"
"No, why are you in a hurry? Besides, what's the point of calling Duoduo over? Isn't it safe for so many of us to watch Shu Chang? You have to call her over to make trouble." Nie Wei said.
Su Qing was unhappy to hear this, patted Nie Wei, and scolded: "What do you mean by making trouble? Duoduo is so obedient."
"I also think there is no need to call her back. If the child comes, she will have to ask for leave from the school. It's very troublesome." Zhou Jianguo also said.
In fact, according to Nie Wei, even Su Qing and Zhou Jianguo should go home and wait. After all, Shu Chang is not short of manpower. Now a lot of people come to the delivery room, making the delivery room nurse feel that she is about to be "unemployed" because the work she should do is almost done by this family.
These nurses now have to go to work early every day and rush to work, otherwise they will feel very empty if they get such a high bonus but do not work.
"Then at least ask her advice, just in case she wants to come."
"Okay, I'll call her now." Nie Wei couldn't resist Su Qing, picked up the phone and walked aside.
Zhou Duoduo hung up the phone the first time, and after about half a minute, Zhou Duoduo called again.
"Brother, what's the matter? Could it be that my sister-in-law has given birth?"
"No, but it happened in the past two days. Our mother asked me to ask you if you want to come to Suzhou and Hangzhou." Nie Wei asked.
"Go, it happens that I don't have a big class this week." Zhou Duoduo agreed immediately after hearing it.
Since Zhou Duoduo is willing to come, Nie Wei is naturally welcome. To be honest, whether it is Zhou Jianguo, Su Qing, or Min Chun, they are actually of different generations from Shu Chang, and they can never chat together. Usually Shu Chang can only chat with Nie Wei alone.
If Zhou Duoduo comes, she can also bring some fresh topics.
"Then I will book a plane ticket. When I get there, should I stay in a hotel first, or go directly to the hospital?"
"What hotel? You can come to the hospital during the day, and you can accompany your parents back to Taoyuan at night." Nie Wei said this, and suddenly remembered something, reminding her: "I haven't told them about your relationship yet."
"Yeah, I know." Zhou Duoduo replied. If Nie Wei said it, Zhou Jianguo would definitely call Zhou Duoduo immediately.
Zhou Duoduo didn't receive a call from Zhou Jianguo for such a long time, and she also knew that Nie Wei should not have revealed the news.
"Brother is very tight-lipped. I will bring you a gift when the time comes." Zhou Duoduo smiled and praised Nie Wei.
But Nie Wei was not in the mood to joke with Zhou Duoduo. Instead, he solemnly reminded Zhou Duoduo: "I think it's best for you to tell your parents about this this time. You should know how anxious they are about your partner. If you are really serious about dating, I don't think you should hide it from them."
"You also know that they are all very open-minded people. Hu Ge is indeed a good person. Our parents should not find fault with anything. Of course, it is up to you to decide whether to tell them in the end. This is why I haven't said it, but my attitude is that I hope you can tell them in person."
Zhou Duoduo on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and after a long while she replied: "Brother, let me think about it."
"Okay, no one forced you. I'll just say this once. The decision is in your hands."
After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei returned to the delivery room and told Su Qing and others that Zhou Duoduo should be here tomorrow.
"I told you that you should inform your sister. She has such a good relationship with Changchang, so she must be with her. If you don't tell her, and wait until Changchang gives birth to the baby before informing her, she will cry and blame you." Su Qing said with a smile.
What can Nie Wei say? He can only say that what his mother said is right.
In the afternoon, Nie Wei received a text message from Zhou Duoduo, informing Nie Wei that the flight ticket has been booked and she will arrive in Suzhou and Hangzhou at about 11:30 tonight.
Nie Wei did not expect Zhou Duoduo to arrive so soon, so he told Zhou Duoduo that he would pick her up at the airport.
It was around nine o'clock in the evening, and Nie Wei's phone ringing, reminding him that he was going to pick up Zhou Duoduo. Shu Chang didn't know, and when he saw Nie Wei getting up and getting dressed, he was still a little confused, so he asked Nie Wei what he was going to do.
Nie Wei then told Shu Chang that Zhou Duoduo's flight would arrive in Suzhou and Hangzhou at 11:30 pm.
"Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier? You can pick Duoduo up directly at my place then." Shu Chang said expectantly.
"It's too late, it will disturb your rest." Nie Wei frowned, feeling that it was inappropriate.
Shu Chang immediately retorted: "I couldn't sleep at that time anyway. I've been bored recently. Duoduo can come over to chat with me, play games with me, and watch movies with me..."
"No!" Before Shu Chang finished speaking, Nie Wei interrupted: "Be obedient and rest now. I will pick up Duoduo early tomorrow morning. I promise that you will see Zhou Duoduo the first thing you see tomorrow."
When saying this, Nie Wei said sorry to Zhou Duoduo in his heart, sister, for your sister-in-law's happiness, you must get up early tomorrow.
But when he thought about it again, Zhou Duoduo has been an idol for so many years, and going to bed late and getting up early is simply a commonplace, so Nie Wei's guilt was instantly reduced by more than half.
"So domineering." Shu Chang pouted unhappily, but did not insist that Zhou Duoduo come over.
Nie Wei coaxed Shu Chang again, and then went out. When he drove to the airport for collection, it was already eleven o'clock.
The plane hadn't landed yet. Fortunately, there weren't many people at the airport at night. Nie Wei was fully armed and hid in the corner of the waiting hall, so no one recognized him.
At half past eleven, the plane landed on time.
Soon, Nie Wei saw a tall and slender figure appear at the exit. The figure also noticed Nie Wei, ran over quickly, and flew into Nie Wei's arms.
"Brother, do you miss me?" Zhou Duoduo asked.
"Does it matter whether I miss you or not? You can ask Lao Hu about this." Nie Wei hugged Zhou Duoduo and let go after she stood firm.
"Brother, you're not jealous, are you?" Zhou Duoduo asked with a smile.
"My sister, who I watched grow up, is about to be taken away by a strange man. Do you think I'm jealous?" Nie Wei turned his head and stared at Zhou Duoduo, not hiding the fact that he was jealous.
