Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Chapter 149: Naming

Mother Zhang saw that her in-laws and Xiao Wu had all gone out, and would not interfere with their conversation. After breakfast, she tidied up her tasks and hurried to see her grandson.

Upon entering, she heard Zhou Jiao mumbling to Ping’an while reciting. Though she couldn’t understand, she felt that her daughter-in-law spoke softly and leisurely, reciting sometimes stopping to call Ping’an’s nickname, which made her laugh heartily.

"Jiao Jiao, you should call him by his full name. Xiao Wu named him Zhang Mingxuan, saying that his five elements lack fire; the meaning of Xuan is bright and warm, and something with a large reputation, anyway, your father and father-in-law both approved the name. When he has a little sibling in the future, it will be named Ming He, together making Xuan He, implying they will have great fame and prestige. Haha, my Xiao Wu really knows how to name, Xi Zi’s full name Zhang Mingyuan, he said yuan means first. Zhang Mingyuan, rolls off the tongue, look at names he chose, Zhang Mingyuan, Zhang Mingzuo, Zhang Mingyou, Zhang Minghao, Zhang Mingxuan, your uncle says all the good names with "Ming" are taken by our family."

Zhou Jiao nodded after listening, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have known that Xiao Wu named Xi Zi and their siblings, it’s indeed good. What are uncle’s grandchildren called? I only hear them being called Tie Dan and Tong Suo."

Mother Zhang laughed heartily, took Little Ping’an into her arms, and said with a smile, "This generation for Xiao Wu is ’Qing’ according to the family book. Your uncle named his kids Qing Shan, Qingyan, Qingya, your younger uncle named Qingfeng, Qingling, all related to mountains. Our family has names picked by your father like Guo Fu, Guoqiang, National Day given by your grandfather. For Xi Zi’s generation your grandfather insisted on following the family book, while your dad and Xiao Wu didn’t stick to it for two generations, otherwise it would get messy, so Xiao Wu named Ming Yuan. Your uncle and younger uncle’s ’Ming’ generation, are all river, lake names, Tie Dan is Zhang Mingjiang, Tong Suo Zhang Minghu, I don’t remember the rest, too many, only know nicknames."

"It’s fine, Ming generation names sound good too. I guess Mai Miao and Mai Sui’s full names are also given by Xiao Wu?"

"Yes, Xiao Wu heard elders say Da Ya lacks water, then searched in the book and told your father, it’s three water ’Miao’, just right with nickname Mai Miao, full name Zhang Miao, I don’t know how to write, just heard cultured people. Your second sister-in-law gave birth to Shi Tou insisting Xiao Wu to name nicely, Xiao Wu then picked Zhang Minghao, later as soon as she gave birth to the little girl, your second sister-in-law followed Mai Miao naming Mai Sui, still with Xiao Wu picking full name Zhang Tong, saying it means prosperity; later surely your sister-in-law will have a prosperous life. My Xiao Wu is kind-hearted, afraid she favors boys over girls, deliberately chose a pleasant name."
