My village can't be like this

Chapter 488 Full Moon, Joining the Clan

At this time, the yard was full of people. After Zhang An took his son out of the house, Xiao Siqi became a little confused, and his big eyes stared.

Although the little guy has always looked like he is not afraid of strangers, he is still a child after all. He has never seen so many people and such a lively scene. Human cubs still need to get used to it when they enter society.

However, no one noticed anything unusual about the first guy, they just thought he looked a bit cute and cute.

After all, a normal child would pick up his nose and cry "Wow wow" when seeing so many people.

In comparison, everyone thinks that little Siqi is already very well-behaved.

"Oh, Zhang An's Qi Wa'er is very pretty. Look at these feet and hands. Only a half-year-old baby from other families might be this big. This Qi Wa'er will definitely be very promising in the future."

When Su Ying returned home from the hospital, many people came to visit her.

However, only the aunts from the village entered the bedroom. Even if the men came, they would be received by Zhang An. At most, they would just sit outside, drink tea and brag.

Because there is a taboo in the village, when a woman is giving birth to a baby, adult men from other families are not allowed to enter the bedroom except for her own family.

So although many people have been to Zhang An's house, they haven't met Xiao Siqi yet.

Now that I see little Siqi's chubby little hands and feet, I can't help but exclaim.

In everyone's mouth, the word "barbarian" is not a bad word, but is used to praise people.

When used on an adult, it means that the person is very tall and majestic. When used on a child, it means that the child will grow very healthy, strong, and develop quickly.

Even those aunts who had seen little Siqi when he was born felt that they had not seen clearly at that time.

Only Zhang An knew that the little guy had not grown much in the month since he was born.

But after entering the space last night, Xiao Siqi became more energetic and powerful than before.

"It seems that the son of a dragon can give birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can dig holes. It's true. Zhang An himself is a tall man, and his qualities are definitely not much different. He may also be a capable man in the future. The wild boar’s father.”

At this time, Huang Ming's father answered that he still vividly remembered Zhang An's incident of slinging a wild boar alone before getting married. After all, it was his son who was rescued, so how could he forget it so easily.

When the people around him heard this, they all thought it made sense. After all, Zhang An was tall and big, so it seemed that there would be no problem if his son was taller.

It would be really strange if Xiao Siqi was born thin and small, and Zhang An's family life has always been very good, and there is no lack of nutrition.

It's just that they ignored that when Zhang An was born, his weight was only half of that of little Siqi. Not only was he not strong, but he was also very weak. Being able to survive was a blessing from God.

But as soon as Huang Dabiao said these words, Mrs. Huang next to her raised her eyes and stared at him fiercely.

If it weren't for the fact that today was Xiao Siqi's full moon day, he would probably have been lectured by the old lady.

Because in the eyes of the older generation, everyone wants to be safe when going into the mountains. It would be dangerous if they encounter ferocious beasts such as green wolves and wild boars.

Therefore, Huang Dabiao's words are quite unlucky in the eyes of the older generation.

Especially Mrs. Huang herself, she has always been very concerned about this matter. After all, Huang Ming almost had an accident in front of the big wild boar.

Fortunately, Huang Dabiao was known as a loudmouth in the village, and everyone knew that he had always been such an outspoken person.

If it were in other villages, people who didn't know better would have thought he was here to curse people.

"Okay, okay, everyone, hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to cook here."

The kitchen has almost prepared everything, and now they are waiting for everyone to choose, wash, and cut the vegetables before they start cooking.

The family, who were busy at first, saw Zhang An carrying little Siqi out, and everyone put down what they were doing and gathered around to join in the fun.

At this time, after Zhou Yang shouted, everyone went back to busy with what they were doing.

It's just that the yard is only a little bigger and there are so many people, so the lively atmosphere has not diminished at all.

Just at this time, Zhang An heard a burst of crying. He looked over and found that the eldest son of the Ding family was starting to toss.

Zhang An took Xiao Siqi over to see what kind of monster his godson was doing.

"Old Ding, why did you get into this? If you weren't fine just now, why did you suddenly start crying?"

I had always heard Ding Yi say that this child was very noisy, but after coming here today, Zhang An found that he was quite well-behaved and thought he had changed his temper.

"Hey, don't talk about it. This is a normal thing, and you have been behaved today."

Although Ding Yi was holding the child and coaxing him, he had a nonchalant expression on his face.

Li Li next to her was similar. Even though their old man was looking at this, he still looked calm.

It seems that over the past few months, their family has become accustomed to this master's troublesome temperament.

"Bah bah bah, wah bah bah..."

But at this time, something strange happened.

Little Siqi, who was in Zhang An's arms, suddenly said "baaaaah" to the crying Xiaoding.

What no one expected was that the happy classmate Xiao Ding, who was crying in Ding Yi's arms, stopped crying all of a sudden.

While looking at Xiao Siqi with two bright eyes, he responded with a wow response.

"Could this be the legendary baby talk?"

Seeing the two human cubs chatting animatedly in unknown languages, Zhang An looked in disbelief. His eyes were still looking back and forth at the two little guys.

"I didn't expect that the child we had taken care of for several months would be worse than a little one who was just one month old."

Ding Yi and Li Li looked at each other. Neither of them expected such a result.

According to my son's normal habits, he will not cry for more than ten minutes and will not stop until he is tired.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly coaxed by little Siqi in Zhang An's arms.

"Come on, come on, Zhang An, just sit here."

Seeing that Xiao Siqi could easily coax his son into a monster, Li Li immediately didn't want Zhang An to go anywhere else, and immediately handed over a stool and asked him to sit next to Ding Yi.

"Hey, you don't want to rely on us, do you?"

In this way, Zhang An and Ding Yi, two grown men who were new fathers, sat together, letting the two little guys chat happily.

For Xiao Siqi, although there are many people at home today, he is still very strange because no one understands what he is babbling.

But it's different now. Besides him, there is another child. Now he finally finds a companion. "By the way, Lao Ding, have you chosen a name for my godson yet? You haven't even said a word to me. It's been several months."

Zhang An asked once when he went to the hospital, but Ding Yi, an irresponsible father, was not ready.

Later, Zhang An went there several times, but he didn't think about it. Now a few months have passed, and Ding Yi hasn't said anything on the phone. Zhang An still doesn't know the name of his godson.

"My, my, I forgot to tell you guys. I already had a name for you. It's Ding Zijie, hehe."

Ding Yi smiled, as if he was very satisfied with the name he chose.

"Does this mean we have inherited the characteristics of your family? It's simple, easy to remember and easy to write, right?"

Zhang An asked a few more questions before he figured out which words it was. When he heard the word "child", he instantly fit the specificity of their Ding family's name.

Ding Yi's own name has a total of three strokes, and his son's is a little better with five strokes. It can be considered that he is better than his master, two strokes more than Ding Yi.

"What's wrong with this? When I took the exam in elementary school, I wrote my name in three strokes. The classmates next to me with more complicated names took a long time to write their names. I didn't even think about it. I have done several questions, so I will definitely not give my son a complicated name to embarrass him."

When Zhang An heard this, he realized that it was exactly what he thought. This guy really had this idea.

But I have to say that his idea is very good. When the boy goes to kindergarten, he will really realize his father's good intentions in choosing this name for him.

In the afternoon, Zhang An's second grandfather, Zhang Shiqing, brought out the family's genealogy and prepared to write Xiao Siqi into the family tree after offering sacrifices to his ancestors.

Although the Zhang family is not a family that was born and raised here for hundreds of years, but the ancestors of the Zhang family moved here more than a hundred years ago to escape the war. Although there were only a few people who moved here at that time, the family tree was also brought here .

Since the past hundred years have been a turbulent era, life has not been easy, and there are no powerful figures in the Zhang family, so there is no ancestral hall.

Mr. Zhang Shiqing, although he is not the eldest old man in the entire Changqing Zhang family, he must be the one with the highest seniority. This can be seen from Zhang An's seniority in the village.

To put it bluntly, in the entire Zhang family, those who are older than Zhang Shiqing are not as senior as him, and those who are the same as him are either gone or are not as senior as him.

Therefore, Xiao Siqi, as the legitimate son and eldest grandson of their lineage, of course did his part in the joining ceremony.

After the old man solemnly worshiped his ancestors, he entered Xiao Siqi's name into the family tree.

In the Zhang family's genealogy, as long as the boy is full moon, he must be entered. If he is a girl, he cannot be entered.

Zhang An once opened it and looked at it. There was really no female name on it.

This does not mean that sons are favored over daughters, because one person cannot be included in the genealogy of two surnames, and when a woman grows up, she will marry into another family, and then she will be entered into the genealogy of another family.

Therefore, in the Zhang family, there is no initiation ceremony for a girl after she is born.

As the old man paused, the ceremony was completed, but the little guy still didn't know how to kowtow, so Zhang An hugged him and kowtowed to his ancestors.

Not to mention, even though the little guy is just one month old, after looking through the family tree, there are quite a few people who want to call him uncle now.

This is because Zhang An got married early. If it had been a few years later, he might not be able to walk when someone in the village would serve him tea.

In the evening, after everyone had eaten and drank, Zhang An took the plate to the kitchen.

There were cigarettes, wine and some money on the plate, which were given to Zhou Yang to express the host's gratitude to the cook.

There were two glasses of wine. Zhou Yang picked it up together, poured one glass on the ground and paid homage to Kitchen God Bodhisattva, and drank the remaining glass himself.

Then he picked up the cigarettes and money on the plate. Of course he put the cigarettes into his pocket, but after sorting out the money in his hand, he put it back on the plate again without taking any of it.

"Yoko, don't do this, stop it now."

This money is very important. No matter who comes to cook or helps at whose house, this money must be taken, but not all of it will be taken.

Usually the chef takes part of it and puts the rest back on the plate and returns it to the host.

Basically, the money taken away was agreed upon by everyone in advance.

The cook only takes part of it, which means to tell everyone that I am not just here to help for money.

"Okay, Uncle An, my brother is one month old, why don't I do something about it? My family doesn't like this."

The last time Zhang An got married, Zhou Yang and Zhang Jianzhong came together. That time he even accepted two yuan as a token of appreciation.

This time he didn't even express his feelings. After all, what he said was reasonable. His brother Man Yue, as a family, there was nothing wrong with coming to help.

After several refusals, Zhou Yang refused decisively, so Zhang An could only give up and look for opportunities to make amends later.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, with everyone's help, we finally cleared up the remaining stalls.

If everyone eats and leaves at this time, the host family will suffer a lot. Not only will they have to clean up the mess, but they will also have to return the things.

Ding Yi's family did not return to the city, they all went to Chen Ze's place.

Because Chen and Ding were comrades in arms when they were young, when old friends meet, they must reminisce about old times.

So when Ding Yi's family was about to leave in the evening, Mr. Chen was not allowed to stay. No matter what, he had to stay tonight.

On the other hand, Chen Ze also gave some advice. It was late at night and it was inconvenient to walk on the road with the child.

Out of concern for the child's safety, they called home and the family stayed.

During the day, Mr. Chen was busy collecting gifts from Zhang An's family, so he didn't have much time. When he was free at night, he had a lot of time.

Early the next morning, Ding Yi came over.

"Zhang An, do you plan to continue to expand the yards at the entrance of your village? Or are there any people who want to cancel the lease?"

As soon as he saw Zhang An, he said straight to the point.

"What? Do you want to rent it now?"

Zhang An asked with a surprised look on his face. You must know that when Chen Ze rented a yard before, he had asked this dear friend.

At that time, the yard hadn't started to be rented yet, so anyone could ask for it, but Ding Yi didn't have the idea.

"Isn't this the old man who didn't think of it before he was here? Please help me ask and leave a set for me if you have any."

It turned out that their old man stayed here all night last night and solved the problem of not sleeping well before, and he slept very soundly.

So when he got up in the morning, Ding came over to Zhang An to ask about this without even thinking about it.
