Reborn next door twins first grow up

Chapter 173 Children's Names

When Lu Man and Gu Lingyi came to the building of the village branch, they happened to run into a temporary meeting of the branch.

"The brigade secretary is using the room, and the office with the computer is also locked."

A peasant woman is on duty at the gate with her legs crossed.

"Come back later, it's not good if it's too noisy for a meeting inside."

The peasant woman squinted at Gu Lingyi: "Girl, have we met?"

Lu Man looked at Gu Lingyi, the girl was still a little reserved, so she also turned her attention to Lu Man.

In the next second, Gu Lingyi took the initiative to hold Lu Man's hand.

"Ok?"

Just when Lu Man was slightly astonished, he felt that Gu Lingyi was pressing on his finger regularly.

"This girl is a fast learner."

Lu Man was amused, Gu Lingyi knew this peasant woman, but she had to use the Lu's code she had just learned to make him call first.

"Third Aunt." Lu Man greeted, then pointed to Gu Lingyi, "Her mother is Wen Yi."

"Oh." The peasant woman took a closer look and patted her legs, "It's Wenyi's little man! How did you become a big girl? I don't even dare to recognize her!"

"Third Aunt." Gu Lingyi followed up weakly.

"Hey, good girl." Third Aunt got up, "Go to my room for soup?"

"No, Third Aunt." Lu Man refused for Gu Lingyi, "Let's go shopping elsewhere and come back after the meeting."

Saying goodbye to the enthusiastic neighbors and walking a few steps away, Gu Lingyi smiled and asked, "What are we going to do now? Why not accompany me back to my grandma's house?"

"How about we go back and find your parents-in-law?" Lu Man deliberately teased her.

"No!" Gu Lingyi tugged on Lu Man's arm, expressing strong protest.

A few seconds later, she added unconvinced: "It's not parents-in-law, it's uncles and aunts!"

"It's a matter of changing your mouth sooner or later."

"..." Gu Lingyi decided not to bring up this topic, she couldn't say anything about Lu Man.

"What does brigade secretary mean?"

Gu Lingyi thought of a word that the third aunt said just now, but she didn't quite understand it.

"It means the village party secretary." Lu Man explained, "The brigade secretary is the old name. During the commune period, the village was organized into brigades and production teams, and the system has been abolished. We got used to shouting, so we kept it."

"Oh~"

"There are similar things. The third aunt asked us to drink soup in her room just now. Don't you think it's seaweed egg drop soup?"

"I know this. To drink soup is to drink hot water. Our grandma still says so."

The corner of Gu Lingyi's mouth hooked into a smile: "When I was at school, I recited the "Preface to Sending the Horses to Dongyang", and there was a line, 'The concubine holds soup and fertilizes'!"

Another hunchbacked old man with white goatee and beard walked towards him, waving a whip slowly, driving seven or eight sheep.

"It seems that they are not relatives and neighbors of my family."

Gu Lingyi recalled that she didn't know this grandpa.

"Brother, it's your turn. Follow the original plan and tell me the code."

Lu Man tilted his head and smiled: "Are you still addicted to playing?"

Now it's not at a wedding reception.Whoever calls out the title first, the other person will follow suit.

But Gu Lingyi wanted to let Lu Man use the form of a code and let her call it out first.

It is superfluous, but the meaning of this move has long since changed.

However, Lu Man said with a strange expression: "This one doesn't need to pinch his claws with a secret signal."

"Well, why?"

"Because the appellation for him is beyond the scope of our previous agreement."

Lu Man smiled meaningfully: "Wait for him to call us."

The old man approached, saw Lu Man, and called out very naturally: "Uncle? Are you back?"

"Uncle?" Gu Lingyi stared wide-eyed.

An old man with a gray beard, about the same age as his grandfather, actually called Lu Man an elder?
"Hey." Lu Man agreed frankly, and said casually, "There are so few sheep? They used to be released in groups of dozens, right?"

"Old man, I can't see it anymore, so I will keep a few of them to accompany others."

The old man looked at Gu Lingyi next to him, and smiled honestly: "Did you bring your concubine home?"

Gu Lingyi immediately lowered her head, and put a sticker on Lu Man's side.

Jinzi is her aunt's dialect, and she was mistaken for being a couple with Lu Man, so Gu Lingyi was too shy to meet anyone.

Lu Man smiled, said goodbye to the old nephew, and left without explaining.

"You deliberately!"

Before the old sheep-herding nephew had gone far, Gu Lingyi beat and kicked Lu Man, but the attack was always soft.

"Why don't you clarify?"

"What are you clarifying?" Lu Man grasped Gu Lingyi's thumping wrist, "My old nephew is already seventy years old, and he is clear in his heart. He just saw that we are not a couple, so he said that on purpose. face."

"This is not for face!"

Gu Lingyi was furious.

"It's obviously a mess of mandarin ducks!"

After punching Lu Man's back a few more times, Gu Lingyi's anger dissipated, and then she turned her small face, and the side face clearly wrote "It's time for you to coax me".

"Brother, explain why the old man still calls you uncle, the age difference is half a century..."

"In the past, people gave birth more."

As Lu Man walked forward, Gu Lingyi followed him subconsciously, and didn't even think to ask where he was taking her.

"For example, there was a family earlier that might have seven or eight children. The eldest son was born at the age of 20, and the youngest son was born at the age of 40."

"At this time, if the elder son also gets married and has children, then the age of the elder grandson and younger son will be the same, but the generations should not be confused. After a few more generations, won't the old man be the respectful name for the young man?"

"It makes sense." Gu Lingyi also figured out the problem, and she chatted aimlessly, "That's too confusing, is it possible that after a woman gets married, the children have different surnames, and the relatives have different surnames? Everyone, did things get messed up over time?"

"Indeed, it is possible." Lu Man said, "But there is a small way to quickly check it."

Gu Lingyi quietly listened, waiting for Lu Man's next words.

Lu Man looked at the girl: "If it's your sister, she should be impatient by now."

Gu Lingyi was silent for a while, although Lu Man suddenly went off topic on her sister, which made Gu Lingyi feel a little uncomfortable.

But think about it, based on her understanding of her twin sister.

Jia Er in high school should really shake her head and skip such topics that she is not interested in, right?
However, I am not interested in these things.

Gu Lingyi thought about it, so why did she have to be patient?
Is it because of character?

Gu Lingyi secretly replaced Luman beside her with a cousin she knew a little better and a male classmate who had some impressions.

She shook her head.

I won't listen to other people talking like that.

I don't even want to be like this now, answering with great interest, and chatting back and forth.

"Brother, you haven't said anything yet, what can you do?"

"A family surnamed Kong."

Lu Man said: "Because of the Confucian family in Qufu, Jicheng, the lineage is passed down. The Confucian family's surname is very strict. Zhaoxian celebrates Fanxiang, and the next surname is more common. Ling, Kong Linghui who plays table tennis."

"Whoever doesn't match the seniority can compare it with the Kong family. I belong to the generation of the traditional characters, and you belong to the generation of the Ling characters. As long as we are related, you should call me grandfather."

"So that's the case." Gu Lingyi smiled, "Really, the middle characters of the surname Kong for the classmates and elders I know seem to be Qing, Fan, and Xianghe Ling. Brother, isn't our history teacher It’s called Kong Xiangcong, he himself criticized the Kong’s shop, talking about the textbooks, and talked about how a few Yan Shenggong surrendered to the conqueror, how did he surrender to the conqueror... There is a classmate in our class named Kong Qingxia..."

It was Lu Man's turn to listen to Gu Lingyi's ramblings again.

He watched Gu Lingyi smile and share every bit of what he thought of, from Dongyang Masheng, the commune system, to relatives and classmates surnamed Kong.

What is commendable is that even though he was talking about a topic that Gu Lingyi was not familiar with, Gu Lingyi still had the heart to say something and answer it herself.He said a few words, and she herself would reply four or five more sentences without getting tired.

It turned out that the two of them talked about everything, and they had been in harmony since before university, but they didn't notice it earlier in their previous lives.

"Brother, are you a full-fledged generation?"

"No, our old Lu family is more hip." Lu Man shrugged, "By my father's generation, the generations have already been used up, and it is time to repair the family tree and continue the generation, but the Lu family can't afford the money. We had no choice but to let it go."

"That's fine." Gu Lingyi poked Lu Man's shoulder reassuringly, "There are benefits too, there is no restriction on naming, haha."

"Indeed, I can name my future daughter whatever I want."

Lu Man paused for two seconds, pretending to hesitate.

"Oh, you can't take it casually."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"It's been decided. My daughter will be called Lu Liuyi and Lu Xuefei."

Gu Lingyi froze for a moment, then kicked Lu Man's calf again.

"Brother, you are so annoying!"

I was taken advantage of by this guy again.

Gu Lingyi thought hard, she couldn't be defeated, she wanted to find a weak point, and counterattacked him.

Strike the bluster of this villain's flamboyance.

"How do you know it must be a daughter?"

Gu Lingyi raised her chin, and was about to argue with Lu Man: "What if it's your son?"

"It's my son, so I won't worry about naming it."

Lu Man doesn't care.

Gu Lingyi pursed her lips, "It turns out that my brother favors girls over boys."

"I have already taken the names of my daughters, so let their mothers worry about the names of the sons."

Lu Man gave Gu Lingyi a smirk: "Student Lingyi, you don't want your son to have no name, do you?"
